Iva's Review
Reclining Nude in Chicago is an erotic romance written by author Fifi Flowers and is the first novella in a collection of stories about travelling business women and their sexual expoits.
Fifi Flowers eases you into an understanding of her main character with some quirky humour and essential background and then bowls you over with some highly erotic depictions of steamy sex. The story is told through the eyes of Julia, with nice transitions between scenes and chapters that are easy to follow.
The main character, Julia Van Rothfelder, is a modern woman with an art major working as a freelance journalist. She comes over as a little bit ditzy but this ends up endearing her to you as you progress through the story. Her love of art, and especially the artist Matisse take her to Chicago and into the company of two very yummy men.
The Curator and The Artist (They have names, but it is fun to learn them as Julia does!) are both very strong, demanding, sexy males. It takes a little bit of reading before you start to distinguish their differences and see that they are two very different types of men.
With the writing style I had one or two moments of "sticky" wording - where I had to backtrack when a sentence didn't flow nicely or didn't clarify something clearly enough, but these were very minor and didn't interfer with my enjoyment of the story. I also thought it clever not having such a detailed physical description of the characters until later in the book as it allowed me to enjoy the naughty bits a little more, filling in the blanks my own way. I read the entire book with a Mona Lisa smile on my face.
The epilogue is brilliant and a wonderful way to end the story giving it a completion it would have lacked if finished any other way. This really sold the book for me.
Fifi Flowers' Reclining Nude in Chicago is a naughty little book, that allows a reader to fantasise along side the main character. I look forward to reading the future novellas by this writer.
