Like most She-Geeks of our times, I’m a big fan of Felicia Day. I started following her on GoodReads after I’d spent some time reading her blog, and she’s a big fan of what she’s termed ‘vaginal fantasy‘ — basically, erotic/romance novels that are written with fantasy themes (think psychics, shapeshifters, fantasy creatures, and the like). When she started a Vaginal Fantasy reading group, including monthly Google Hangouts, I was sold!
I finished Nalini Singh’s Slave to Sensation in a weekend. It’s the type of book that you could read in one sitting, if you have the time; it’s a very easy read, and not particularly long. It reminded me of a Harlequin romance, but the fantasy world of the future that it’s set in made it a lot more entertaining to me. I’m not the type of girl who typically enjoys reading romance novels, but I do like psychic powers and shape-shifting, so this was the type of romance for me. The sex scenes were suitably raunchy, the romance was powerful and overblown, and there were actually a few passages that turned me on, made me go “awwwww!”, or both. I was surprised at how invested I became in the world and the characters, during the short time I spent with the book.
I’m going to check out more of Felicia’s ‘vaginal-’ labelled shelves to find more of these style of books in the future. Sometimes a girl just needs to sink into the bath with a glass of wine and escape into a sexy vaginal fantasy/sci-fi/mystery story!
