The
perfect shade of lipstick can lead to the perfect opportunity for sin…
When living-challenged author Claire Presswood gets
invited to go on a night out on the town with her two best friends, she isn't
prepared for the evening that awaits her. Hungry and overworked, she arrives at
a masked party at an art museum in time to meet debonair artist Maxwell
Douglas. One look from his luminous eyes and Claire knows this will be a night
to remember.
Be Warned: light BDSM, spanking, sex toys
Excerpt:
“What do you think? Does this lipstick make me look
fat?” I eyed the mirror and mushed my lips into a moue.
“Oh my God, Claire.” Rachel rolled her eyes and
snorted. “Fat? Really?” She smoothed on a shade of cranberry red that looked
dazzling with her preternaturally enhanced olive skin. The girl made being a
vampire look good.
I gave her a thumb’s up.
“Yes. Fat. Come on, guys. I need something
different. Nothing too…edgy.”
“Edgy, huh?” Carmen snickered, her kitty shifter
cattiness coming into play. The Latin beauty grinned. “You should be worried
about it making you look dead.”
Carmen sauntered over to the makeup counter where we
were trying on new shades of lipstick and selected a tube, twisting it open.
She grimaced and shoved it back. “Some of these…ugh. You might as well be
trying out for the circus. Why don’t you try something a little more drastic?
Like this one?” She lifted up a black tube and opened it to reveal a shade of
purplish brown that I loved.
“Sin” was one
of the hottest colors around. I actually had it in my makeup bag at home, but
tonight wasn’t about scaring up a bondage partner. It was more about having a
normal night out with the girls.
“I already have that one. Too leather club. I want
human. Natural.”
Carmen snorted and twirled a finger in her hair.
“Honey, I love you, but one thing you are not is human.”
“Bitch.” I turned my head from side to side. Nope.
The earthy shade was appealing and didn't make me appear like a candidate for
the coroner’s office.
Score!
“Maybe, but you know I’m right. Can’t have you going
to the party looking like a zombie now, can we?”
“Ha ha.” The comment stung, but Carmen did have a
point. With my complexion, if I got something too red, I’d look like I’d just
eaten someone’s face off. Something too light? Postmortem ice queen with no
color at all. Finding the right lipstick was an art and apparently a forensic
science.
“All right, fang girl. Are you ready yet? Because I
am.” Carmen poked Rachel in the back with her long red fingernail and smirked.
“The party is going to be over and all the hot guys taken before you get your
vampire ass out of that chair.”
***Nona's Review of Lipstick by Erzabet Bishop***
A vampire, a cat shifter and a zombie walk into a bar…
Or in this case, an art gallery. Claire wonders if her
shade of lipstick is too outre for the evening out she has planned with her
besties Carmen (cat shifter) and Rachel (vampire). Claire's social life hasn't
been too impressive since her husband left her after she'd been turned into a
zombie. Even her diet is somewhat limited--she prefers raw hamburger and steak
to munching on human brains.
The gallery features a display of erotic art and soon
Claire encounters the artist, who is everything a sexually deprived zombie gal
could wish for and more. When she gets him alone, surprises and excitement
ensue.
Lipstick is a fun and erotic short story for lovers of
the paranormal. Due to its brief length, it's more of an appetizer than a full
meal, but will leave readers eager for a taste of author's other work. Perhaps there
will be stories for Rachel and Carmen, too?
