Finding a self described erotica novel that offers more below the surface than just gratuitous sex is always a treat. Finding a BDSM/Poly erotica novel that is healthy, funny and exactly what we needed right now in a world where 50 Shades is the mainstream literature, that is something else entirely. What started as a beta project, Natural Exposure, the breakout novel by Koriana Brackson was a pure delight to read.
There was so much depth to the characters, they ebbed and flowed around one another in believable ways, with real tangible emotions. I've found in my years of reading that what really makes a story, and is naturally the hardest part to get right, is strong characters. This book has that in spades. Even the side characters, who were only mentioned a handful of times had such colorful personalities, and such interesting lives, that they left as much of an imprint as the others who dominated the pages.
Honestly though it was more than the delicious sex scenes, the fun as hell characters or the really well developed locations mentioned time and again; it was simply the writing. It was easy to read, impossible to put down. There was no stuttering from scene to scene, it was simply a well written novel and I'm stoked to know that more are on the way.
