If you live in the Bay Area, I'd like to invite you to join me for an Unleash the Sensual You Workshop. This is your chance to discover ways to become the confident, sexy woman you were meant to be as I share with you ideas and techniques to embrace and enhance the woman you already are but just aren't sharing with the world. We'll talk about how to unearth the confidence everyone says you need but you can't seem to locate; and how to use that confidence to charm and disarm and get what you want out of life, both in and out of the bedroom. Please grab a friend or two and join us. It's free and I promise you will leave feeling fabulous!

Pillow Talk

Check out this five star pillow talk about this sexy anthology:

Your kids may be out of school already, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some real grown up fun this summer. We’ve got excerpts from sizzling guilty-pleasure titles that are sure to make you beg for a time out. From Zane’s latest tome, “The Hot Box” to African American erotica anthologies like “Can’t Help The Way That I Feel” and “Making the Hook-Up.”

Caution — Do not leave these books laying out on the coffee table. These titles never showed up your high school summer reading list! Essence.com

"I like the fact that it wasn't just flat out nasty. Each story was very tasteful but still lived up to being "erotic." Some of the stories were wild but still believable and real. Both men, and especially women can benefit from and appreciate reading these stories. I'm glad I purchased this book and would gladly do it again! TexasGurl08 Amazon.com

"I just finished this anthology and it is HOT! HOT! HOT! All of the stories are well written and sexy. These writers have great imaginations. This is definitely a good read. I recommend it highly. PleasureReaderAM

"This whole book is literally smokin' hot!!!" Charlene Jones Facebook

"There's no denying that Can't Help The Way That I Feel is erotic. The stories are written with passion and attention to character. The sex scenes sizzle. Erotic Readers & Writers Association

Definitely love the way it makes me feel! Can't Help The Way That I Feel features great writing, slightly longer stories, unique concepts and the useful story starters at the end. Lori has done a brilliant job compiling these stories. The book is a credit to her and all the writers it features and really tackles African American sexuality in a wonderfully inclusive, varied and intriguing way. Sundae Eden Fantasys

"As an anthology, Can't Help The Way That I Feel is novel in that it invites readers to write their own fantasies based upon four starters in the book. The reader simply reads the starter and then is on his/her own to complete the story. The stories are sexy and very interesting. The editor Lori Bryant-Woolridge knows good sex when she reads about it and has done quite a job with these selections. Each story features some kind of temptation and then it just goes into its own narrative. There are twelve stories that will take you place of heightened sensuality so sit back and enjoy yourself. Amos Lassen Amazon.com

Erotica to Read and Write! This is a collection of 11 erotica tales about mature African American women enjoying some very sexy fantasies. Each story is unique and very likely that women will find a lot to relate to in them. There are also 3 "story starters" at the back of the book for those who might want to try their own hand at writing erotica. Alan & Michelle Eden Fantasys

Essence.com Selects Can't Help as a Hot Summer Read
