1: Occasions of Sin by Jacqueline Jillinghoff Talk to me for more than a few minutes and there's a good chance I'll start talking about my favourite erotica author (this is why my milkman has taken to avoiding me).
The reason why I'm so taken with Jacqueline Jillinghoff isn't because she writes sinfully good sex scenes (although she does).
It's not because her writing is very literate, easy to follow, and liberally dusted with enough clever bits to amuse any student of English (although it is).
It's because she writes such damn compelling stories.
This one touches on a common theme: sex and religion. And it is utterly engrossing.
If you're looking for a stroke story to get off to, read this - make sure not to upset your neighbours with any moaning. If you're looking to read an actual, legitimate, story with real characters who feel alive, read this.
Heck, just read it anyway. It's good no matter what your motivation is!
