DISCOVER THE SUMMARY BELOW:

For some time, Virginia had felt tossed from side to side like on a fairground ride, except that this carousel seemed to be moving in slow motion. What was happening? Where was she? Where did this hazy sensation come from?

A sharp snap echoed in the depths of her mind. It was at that precise moment that she became aware she was dreaming...

She slowly opened her eyes, and in an instant, everything came back to her. She stretched her arms and elongated her body like a cat in the morning. This seemingly innocent movement caused the sheet to slide down, partially exposing her chest.

The answers to her questions resurfaced immediately. She remembered that she was in the aft cabin of the sailboat, swaying with the waves that formed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and that she was the only woman traveling with three men on board. And last night, she crossed boundaries that seemed improbable just a few weeks or months ago.

Oh, my God! What have I done? she thought, smiling.

All the images from the previous night rushed through her mind, and she instantly realized that she now had to face reality.

PREFACE By Angélique DIETRICH - Therapist & Sexologist

In this first erotic novel, Alix de Toukane takes us into a fantasy world, exploring libertinism, exhibitionism, and voyeurism.

Erotic literature, once considered taboo and forbidden by narrow-minded moralists confined by their conventions, has now become a genre in its own right, allowing authors to explore various fantasies through their writing.

In my opinion, there are three critical elements to a successful erotic novel:

Expectation
Sexual scenes
The authenticity of the story

For the sexologist as I am, Alix de Toukane has perfectly understood this. However, this genre demands a certain skill level and does not tolerate mediocrity.

Both female and male readers find in this genre a means of not only escaping but also educating themselves on the subject and exploring new sexual experiences.

Unlike other literary genres, an erotic novel is not written comfortably seated in one's living room armchair.

Alix de Toukane based his novel on thorough research, both in terms of sexuality and the locations of the action, which contributes to the reader's immersion.

The characters are not just actors in this story; they are also hostages to their own desires.

The heroine, who discovers and reveals herself, is a woman willing to explore beyond submission, engaging in sexual practices that lead her to question what she is ready to endure, experience, and become.

The stereotypes in this novel align with the complex longings of the heroine, Virginia. It is built upon the tension between these two contradictory and asymmetrical demands: instinct and love. Virginia, the lyrical subject of the story, is searching for love and affection while also providing pleasure to men as she discovers her own.

Will Virginia change as a result of the experiences she chooses to have?

This novel questions the interplay between love and pleasure.
