Kitty Tsui&#8217;s <i>Breathless<\/i> carries the label &#8216;erotic&#8217; on its cover, but it&#8217;s explicit, no-holds-barred, depictions of lesbian sex&#8211;including S-M, bondage, and rough play&#8211;feels closer to the hard edge of porn, not the gracefulness of &#8216;erotica.&#8217; Tsui has been writing for more than a decade and is just now finding a wider audience, and it is about time. <i>Breathless<\/i> is beautifully written, and Tsui knows exactly what she is doing. The grace of the prose is countered, line by line, with sexual and emotional excitement that startles us, even as we are seduced by it. <i>Breathless<\/i> is a nonstop roller coaster that leaves us feeling just that.<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Check for it on:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/gp\/search?tag=lesbianfun-20&amp;index=books&amp;field-title=Kitty Tsui, Breathless\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/search?q=Breathless, Kitty Tsui&#038;qid=\">Goodreads<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?tbm=bks&#038;hl=en&#038;q=Kitty Tsui, Breathless\">Google Books<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div>\n<h2>Details<\/h2>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n .TFtable{\n  border-collapse:collapse; <\/p>\n<p> }\n .TFtable td{ \n  spacing:10px; border:#ffffff 5px solid; padding-right:20px<\/p>\n<p> }\n \/*  Define the text for all the 2nd columns  *\/\n .TFtable td:nth-child(2){\n  color: #0099ff;\n }\n<\/style>\n<table class=\"TFtable\">\n<tr>\n<td>ISBN<\/td>\n<td>1563410729<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Genre<\/td>\n<td>Award Winner; Erotica<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publication Date<\/td>\n<td>Mar-96<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Publisher<\/td>\n<td>Lpc-Firebrand Books<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Format<\/td>\n<td>Trade Paperback<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>No. of Pages<\/td>\n<td>128<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Award<\/td>\n<td>Winner of the 1996 Firecracker Alternative Book (FAB) Award in the Sex category<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Language<\/td>\n<td>English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rating<\/td>\n<td>Great<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Award<\/td>\n<td>Winner of the 1996 Firecracker Alternative Book (FAB) Award in the Sex category<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>BookID<\/td>\n<td>1512<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kitty Tsui | Breathless | How to describe writing about sex?
