| Alice Delrey is an architect. She is stuck designing boring hospitals at work and feels repressed and timid outside the office. Her only sexual encounter has been entirely unsatisfying. She has never learned how to respond to the male of the species.
Kurt, another architect recently transferred from Boston, asks her to lunch and she fails to respond. Annoyed with herself, she follows him out of her cubicle, only to find him asking another girl to lunch. She is angry with herself, anxious to lead a more exciting, less repressed life. Her friends Mandy and Michelle decide to help her out. They have arranged blind dates for Alice in the past, but now they are moving on to something far more titillating. They invite her to a dice party: a role of the dice determines the sexual action each participant must take. Inhibitions and clothing are shed rapidly as the party goers tease and tantalize each other. The guests include males and females of assorted sizes, shapes and ethnicity. The activities combine opposite and same sex partners. The action is hot, hot, hot. Kurt is there, as a kind of inhibition-freeing coach. Mandy joins the activities and learns to feel the passion she has always wanted. This is an erotic fantasy of turn-ons and exhibitionism. A short read, there is little plot or character development. The reader is not told, for example, the details of Alice’s earlier exploits. But there is intense heat in the wild abandon of the participants. Belleville knows how to arouse the reader. Alice may not be the only one to learn a few new techniques along the way.
