Summary: The Twelve Dancing Princesses
Comment: The king of the lovely unnamed kingdom in this book has twelve daughters. Each daughter has grown up, married her prince, and moved not too far away from their father. Each seems to have found her happily-ever-after. However, something rather peculiar is happening in their households. Every morning, the princesses wake up to find their shoes completely worn out. While it's keeping several kingdoms' worth of cobblers in business, the king is worried and offers a reward to anyone who can solve this mystery.
The reward? Half the king's kingdom. The punishment for failing? Death.
Many men die trying to unravel the riddle. Finally, Harmonia Brist, a wizardess from a faraway kingdom, arrives with what she believes to be the solution. The king, tired of putting people to death, modifies the challenge's conditions. If Harmonia solves the riddle, she can have any one thing in his kingdom. Wait `til you find out what she wants.
Harmonia is convinced the princesses are experiencing discontent in their marriages. To escape their troubles, they return each night in their dreams to their father's castle and dance the night away. This discontent is manifested in the princesses' worn-out shoes.
Traveling from household to household, the wizardess diagnoses each problem and issues her solution. From magical bubbles to chastity belts, golden eels tucked into a princess' privates to body-swapping, Harmonia succeeds in bringing sexual bliss into each household. Now if she could only steal some of that happiness for herself...
Tired of reading about clits, slits, cock, and pussy? Want to read an erotic tale whose language leaves you hot but not cringing? Try Nancy Madore's The Twelve Dancing Princesses. Ms. Madore brings a breath of fresh air to the erotic industry. I cannot gush enough about this book or this author's style of writing. Erotic, yet romance-friendly. Sexy, hot, and stimulating, but written in a Grimm Brothers fairy-tale format. This is a must read.

Summary: Disappionting
Comment: I love adult fairytales, but this one was incredibly disappionting. The women were largely unrealistic and the erotic scenes ranged from average to distrubing. I would not recommend this book to anyone. I will not read it again and at this point I might not even finish it. Try Anne Rice if you want compeling adult fairytales.

Summary: Fun, but uneven
Comment: Madore offers us a modern fairy tale, one for decidedly adult readers. The format works well: an even dozen short stories, plus prologue and epilogue, representing the twelve sisters of the book's title. The twelve have a problem, or rather a different problem for each, but one that manifests in the same way. An itinerant sorceress undertakes to resolve their individual unhappinesses, in hope of a magnificent prize and at risk of execution for failure. It turns out that each princess has some difficulty around the marriage bed, different for each and solved differently by the magical couples' counselor. Happiness is restored, as seen by zealous exercises of conjugal conjugation described in vivid detail. I found the first two or three the most enticing but the others did less for me, leaving an uneven impression. That's about par for the course in any collection of erotic stories, though.
This set appeals because of it's generally gentle tone. Nothing harsh or truly non-consensual appeared anywhere. It stands out for its use of language, gleamingly erotic and unmistakably physical, but tasteful even when describing the most intimate of anatomical details and processes. One interesting feature pushes this into very rare territory, though: all of its eroticism arises between married partners - married to each other, that is. I don't see any reason to question the morality of these deliciously erotic stories, and was quite happy to see at least one author assume that married sex need not be boring. Done right (as here), it's anything but.

Summary: This book is like fables for women...
Comment: I loved this book so much. It was wonderful how Nancy Madore tied these erotic fairy tales into lessons that we women should sometimes learn to satisfy ourselves and our lovers. I could relate to each story at least a little and it reminded me how to look at myself and my husband in a positive way. Who would have thought that fairy tells could still teach us even when we are older? This is one of those books you can read over and over.

Summary: Worth shutting the tv off for
Comment: I've been slacking in my reading lately but I was so glad I picked up this little gem. It's sexy, thought provoking, insightful, fun, easy, engaging and most importantly, exciting! Don't let this one slip by unread.
