Alarming Heat. By Regine Sands. Lace Publications, 1991. Paper. $7.95 (ISBN 1-55583-311-X)
Regine Sands, author of Travels With Diane Hunter, returns to our libraries, book shops, shelves, and more likely bedside tables with more erotic tales of sexual adventure. These nine stories have distinctly different characters and situations so all readers can find amusement in at least one of them. Characters come from all walks of life, from students to Kate Montgomery who “didn’t have two Ph.D.’s for nothing” in a particularly vivid tale of a wrong number that turns into phone sex.
All of the stories are tinged with humor and delightful impropriety. Tales include sex under the projected stars of a planetarium, sex in moving cars, and even sex in a doctor’s office.
Alarming Heat is recommended for libraries with collections of erotica or collections of gay and lesbian popular literature.
