Customer Reviews

Who says you can't judge a book by its cover?

As sensuous and erotic as its classy cover, this beautiful and tantalizing novel will knock your socks off and make your toes curl... literally! So grab a glass of wine and some "honey and lime" and get ready to experience what happens WHEN BUTTERFLIES KISS.

From the Editor

I honestly had no idea where this novel was going to go after I finished writing the first chapter. So as each consecutive chapter was turned in, it was as much a journey of discovery and excitement for me, as it would have been for a first-time reader! Now that the project is complete, I'm extremely pleased that When Butterflies Kiss has evolved into a story of a black man's search for redemption for we too seldom see that type of portrayal of black men in fiction.

When Butterflies Kiss

I read the book and was amazed, considering the format, how wonderfully one author added to the storyline and kept the theme going beautifully....not a break in the thread. If one didn't know differently, one would think the story was written by a single author.An unusal experiment, well executed!

Absolutely amazing!!

Run out and buy "When Butterflies Kiss"!!! It's a wonderful page turner. I've read it twice now, and it gets deeper, more insightful, more laugh-out-loud funny and more shocking each time. These 10 extremely talented writers all did a great job. The authors' voices, though individual, blend together so seamlessly it's easy to forget that this was a collaborative effort. I've read "Naked Came the Manatee", which is another collaborative novel, and I think "When Butterflies Kiss" vastly improves upon the form first in that it's so well written, but mostly because it presents such a cohesive story. All in all, Dante's story -- how he struggles to accept and then conquer his destructive (but funny at the time) behavior -- is one that will stay with you. I highly recommend this book!

When Butterflies Kiss

Butterflies Kiss is a must read. It's the type of novel that moves you to no end - you can easily finish it in one sitting. It's captivating, suspenseful, passionate and lustful. Dante takes the reader on a journey that never appears to end. The reader is constantly intrigued -- "What's next?" The best aspect of the book is that it is unpredictable. Yet, at the same time - each chapter is realistic and takes the reader to another level. I found myself saying "What, no way!" And then saying "Ok, ok Dante, Im feeling you, I understand".Butterfly is a novel that takes you there, you have no inhibitions - it just takes you and you go with it. Next thing you know your lost in Dante's world, waiting for the next move and then it happens. Dag, you finish the book. I loved it!!!
