    • Being the daughter of a pastor, Erica Collins never got a chance to live a normal life. When she lost her mother at a very young age, she questioned her faith in the Lord. Pastor Collins tried to rescue her faith by tying her everyday life even more closely to the church. Now 21 years old, Erica's only escape from her father and his Bible is when she hooks up with her best friend, Nicole. She finds a little freedom through Nicole's wild stories, with most of them being about her boyfriend, Mekco. Erica is all in, craving the attention and the lifestyle that Nicole has. Mekco is the leader of The Detroit Brick Boyz. Now that his best friend and the former leader of the crew, Pierre AKA P, is out of jail, Mekco is ready to put his boy back on without stepping down as the leader. Before getting knocked, Pierre was used to living the fast lifestyle and making money. After he's released, he is introduced to the beautiful Erica Collins. Once Erica enters his life, he questions if he has been living wrong all along. He soon finds himself falling for a young lady who didn't have any business looking his way. He wants to do right by her, but pursuing his position as the leader of the Brick Boyz and dealing with snakes from the past cause him to push her away. This pastor's daughter has some choices to make. Does she return to the flock, or fully enter the world of these kingpins?

    • Nancy Friday patří k nejkontroverznějším postavám sexuální revoluce. Její kniha My Secret Garden (česky Moje tajemná zahrada, 1998) z roku 1973 se stala bestselerem. V Sexu bez zábran se věnuje tabuizovaným erotickým fantaziím a tužbám, které dnes díky bezbřehým možnostem, jež nabízí internet, mohou lidé lépe rozvíjet nebo sdílet s někým dalším.Při čtení knihy se, slovy jedné americké recenze, „budete trochu červenat a zrychlí se vám tep... Je to vzrušující četba. Ale copak život není vzrušující? A pokud ten váš není, čtěte pomalu.“

      Do You Like What You See In The Mirror?We all want to have it. Beauty. Today more than ever, our physical appearance determines how we judge ourselves and are judged by others. Like it or not, we live in the age of the Empty Package, when how we look takes precedence over such enduring qualities as integrity, kindness, and honesty. Now, in this provacative, entertaining book, the acclaimed author of the international bestseller "My Mother/My Self "reveals the truth about how looks affect our lives, and how life affects our looks.In this thoroughly honest and upbeat book, Nancy Friday probes the power, allure, and mystique of beauty including: fashion, fear of competition, shoes and sex, adolescent pain, envy, the double standard of aging, fairy tales, feminism, love, and more. Part memoir, part history, "Our Looks, Our Lives "will forever change the way we all look in the mirror.

      This is a compilation of the many letters sent to the author by women sharing their most intimate sexual fantasies about topics such as masturbation, oral sex, sex with more than one man, lesbian sex and anal sex. In her extended introduction to these erotic fantasies the author compares the fantasies of today's women with those featured in her previous book, My Secret Garden. The author comes to the conclusion that despite everything the fantasies of the women of the 1990s are more liberated, more experimental and more outrageous than those of the women of the 1970s. More importantly, the author also notes a tendency for younger women to be freer of guilt about explicit sexual fantasizing. Nancy Friday is the author of Men in Love.
