'Avocado' An Erotic Adventure of Spirit and Sensuality

By Christine Leov-Lealand

Amazon Review 12/13 Although this book contains some of the most well written, sexy smut I've ever read, the characters and the story can stand on their own. I absolutely love this book, and whilst I rarely openly profess to enjoy such saucy literature, I regularly find myself recommending this book to friends. It's moving, emotionally and sexually. Enjoy!

'So many genres collide here to extreme effect. Romance, erotica, family, culture, place and more. It makes for an intensely human book. The characters don't arrive, they feel like they have been there forever. If you don't know your cultures, Kiwi, Aussie, Indian, Rastafarian, this will encourage you too read about them. The sex scenes are tender & endearing,and no I'm not going to tell you about the avocado. I admire the way the author gets I to the skin of her characters, really making them flesh with a combination of reality and myth. This is educated erotica, superb.'

@loveleov: So did you like the ending? @WSHW1996 yes. Completely. I should have read Avocado sooner but when I did I got sucked in. Nothing was going to disrupt that read! All superb. It was real & completely lovely. Pain, happiness, desire, all the emotions. I adored this, the best of yours I've read.

Dawn has retreated to a shack at a beach paradise to nurse the wounds from an unhappy relationship. Stuart, freshly back from India sporting long Rastafarian dreadlocks arrives at her beach and begins with his animal sexuality to challenge and complete her aching desires. Shamanic ceremonies, the mystery Stuart left behind in India; an interfering family and ex’s cause chaos, interspersed with plenty of hot tropical sex and ripe avocado flesh. Who does Dawn choose when her ex and Stuart fight over her? Why does Stuart go back to India and who does he bring home? Will Dawn wait for his return?

“Exciting, raw and sexy this book not only has a lot of raunchy episodes in it, there are sensual foods, fantasy, raw emotions and what I liked most were the realistic aspects of life portrayed in this novel.” NZ Review

I have been a writer all my life and quite possibly in several other lifetimes as well. Books for me are like McDonald's double cheese burgers and Black Forest gateau. If books were food I have gorged myself on them until I am a human version of War and Peace. Although I was commissioned by Penguin to write erotica I am a lot more diverse in my reading and writing. My interests range from Homer and Plato, to palaeontology; Terry Prachett and beyond the stars with Frank Herbert and Dune; Whatever the book genera, I have read it and dreamed of writing about it. At an age between sense and senility I have rediscovered the joy of writing, after years of being a best-selling author AND rejected by publishing houses. My fervent hope is that many readers will come with me for the ride, and enjoy the gallop. Published works on Amazon: Quintessence, Astride and Avocado, a trio of erotic novels, set in New Zealand. Two versions are available – Illustrated and without illustrations. Works in progress, Atlantea Soulmates - a steam punk historial adventure romance set in ancient Crete and Atlantis. First in the Soulmates series – co-written with AJ Burton; Norf – a chick-lit novel following Catherine and Moira as they travel around the world; Mistress Seeks – a kinky erotic novel – Mistress M seeks the perfect slaves; BI – a personal exporation of the joys and perils of bisexuality; The King of D'Urville Island – a three generation memoir of my father's family, the Leov family; Gallica Roma a historial adventure romance set in Roman times. Second in the Soulmates series.

I don't think I will be able to eat an avocado again without this book and its graphically described sex scenes coming to mind!
