Excerpt
Shortly before they finished lunch, a rainstorm began. The rainfall caught both of them without an umbrella. They said goodbye in the entry of the restaurant, then Beverly started to run back to the studio. Jill had an assignment to complete, so she sat down at the nearby bus stop to wait for a bus. She felt lucky because it was covered, which kept the rain off her, but that lasted only until Chad showed up.
Jill sat there, reading a Danielle Steele paperback, waiting for the bus, when without warning; she was swamped by a wave of cool rainwater. She and Danielle Steele were both soaked. Nothing was spared. Not even her hair. Shocked, she glanced up and glimpsed a red Corvette rounding the corner. She noticed the silhouette of a man and cursed his stupidity under her breath. Now, she was going to have to either take a cab home, or go buy a new outfit, which she'd have to charge since she'd just been paid and was already broke, as usual.
She saw a Checker Cab approaching and got up to wave, when the same Corvette cut the cab off, and pulled alongside the curb. The driver leaned over, after rolling down the window. His friendly blue eyes twinkled, and he flashed her, the friendliest smile she'd seen in years. He was very apologetic. "I'm so sorry, ma'am. I wasn't thinking, and I drenched you before I realized it. I feel so bad. Please, can I take you somewhere to dry off?"
His voice, a rich baritone, had a western drawl. She told him bluntly, "Thanks, but I think you've caused enough damage."
"Say, aren't you that TV reporter? Ah . . . don't tell me. Jill. That's it! Jill Sinclair. You are re-e-ally good. I can see you're getting cold. Please, let me take you somewhere to change or at least warm up. At least take this Kleenex and dab your eyes. Your mascara is running."
Jill suspected he was looking at her breasts when he said she was getting cold. Sneaking a peek, as she accepted the tissue, she realized her nipples were showing through her wet blouse and bra, and that wasn't all. She was beginning to feel warm and tingly. She didn't really have time to think about the ramifications of this sensation, because the scheduled bus pulled up and started to honk at the Corvette, which was blocking the passenger loading zone. Smiling, Chad was waving for her to join him but she was worried. She didn't know Chad . He could have been a Ted Bundy acolyte. The bus's horn kept blaring and Chad started to pull away slowly. He gave her a smile, and shrugged, as if saying, what am I supposed to do? Jill had a good feeling about him, so she made a foolish move, she ran for the slow moving Corvette, and hopped in. Thus began her life altering experience.
Once inside, he gave her a warm ear-to-ear smile and with his rich voice, introduced himself, "Hi, I'm Chad Conroy." Chad not only had an angelic face, he was lean and well muscled. What else would you expect from someone named Chad ? She studied him as he drove, admiring what she saw, while guarding against any false move from him. Chad reached behind his seat, pulled out a large sweater, and handed it to her. "Here, you might want to put this on and pull your wet blouse off, so you don't catch cold." Chad 's sandy brown hair was a little disheveled. As his bright blue eyes took in Jill's essence, she noticed that when he smiled, which was a lot, a dimple showed in each cheek. Jill couldn't tell how tall he was in his sports car but she guessed six feet. Taking Chad 's advice, she removed her blouse and bra under the sweater.
"Where would you like to go?" She knew it didn't make sense but she was reluctant tell him where she lived. However, she was willing to go back to his apartment so she could dry off.
"Do you live far?" Jill didn't know what he was thinking, but his dimples were the size of quarters when he smiled.

Fortune Cookies
Dee Dawning/Fortune Cookies/eXtasy Books/411 pages/ebook
Jill meets her friends, Gail, and Rita and Saundra and others at Eddie Chang's place, because she wants them to sample the fortune cookies that brought her a wonderful lover and the baby she had longed for. The magic in these cookies only works if you are not truly fulfilled in your life and it turns out that most of the girls need a touch of magic in one way or another, but can it work for all of them?
This is an extremely well crafted book. It is erotic and suitable only for over eighteens, but it has a really good story, which some erotic books do not have. This book has a charm and magic all its own. If you enjoy reading very sexy books then I recommend this one to you. This is certainly five red roses and I rather think it ought to have a whole bouquet, because of all the work and creativity that went into it. and that is a first for an erotic book, but it is also very much a romance.

The Sexy Six is a group of six women who were in college together. Jill is the first to try a fortune cookie that she believes helps her find her true mate. She finds romance almost around the corner and can't help sharing the magic with her friends. The romances flourish as they each eat a fortune cookie and share it with the man they meet within hours.
Dee Dawning has written a sexy, erotic tale of women finding their ideal mate. Is it magic, fate, destiny or chance that brings them all together with their soulmate so soon after ingesting a fortune cookie? The author doesn't tell us for sure, we have to use our imagination. With seven pairs of characters whose story needs to be told when Gail's sister Cassie is added Ms. Dawning never gives up. The great mix of humor, eroticism and relationship building continues throughout.
She adds to it with Rita and Gail sharing the tale of their abusive childhood and what they're doing to help others. She varies a little from the primary pairs when Rita, Nikolas, Robbie and Tia try a four way. We get a gotcha kind of thrill when Saundra finally finds strength to stand up to her unfaithful husband. She tells us that Mora's openness about the life she lived to pay expenses when catastrophes happened to her family seems to cause a rift in her relationship with Cornell. He's made of the stuff of heroes though so he comes through for her.
The author does a great job mixing people and the realities of life with an apparent fairy tale of the magic fortune cookie. It would be fun to believe that single people could unerringly find their soul mate in such a simple way. Ah, fiction, I love what it does for us. And I love the way Dee Dawning has built this excellent tale.

New York City, New York - the Present
They call themselves the Sexy Six and have been best friends for years. They've all had problems with past relationships, but all of this is about to change…especially for the Fantastic Four (the subset of the Sexy Six who live in New York).
Jill is the first of the four to experience Eddie Chang's Chinese restaurant. The place itself is no big deal, just your average Chinese joint. It's the twenty dollar fortune cookies that are the stars of the show. Jill is skeptical about spending that much money for what looks to be a regular fortune cookie, but her co-worker convinces her that it is more than worth the money. Within hours of eating the cookie, Jill meets Chad for the first time. Her attraction to him is instantaneous, and when she gives him a red fortune cookie to eat, he becomes just as driven toward the bedroom as she is. Their hot and rowdy night of love making has her running to tell her friends about Eddie's Fortune Cookies.
Gail is initially disappointed after eating the fortune cookie. She doesn't find her love match immediately as Jane did, and she is not a bit surprised. Blessed with a high IQ, men have always been intimidated by her. As soon as she is about to give up, she meets her mate in the men's restroom (of all places)! Well, she quickly gives him the cookie and they waste no time and put a bathroom stall to good use.
Rita eats her cookie while rushing to a photo shoot. She is a glamorous cover girl who always has flocks of men following her around. But she can't find anyone who really loves who she is on the inside. She is pleasantly surprised to find that her love match is none other than her photographer! Boy, wait until you read about the pictures they take during the photo session!
Sandy is the last of the Fantastic Four to find a match. But her situation is a little different from the other ladies…she's married. Unfortunately, she is married to a faithless man and knows that her husband Basil is not her mate. She eats the fortune cookie in hopes of finding her true love…she never expects him to be married also!
I love how Ms. Dawning allows the characters to tell their own stories, giving us an intimate view into their thoughts and emotions. Just when we think each lady is getting a happily ever after, a few weird adversaries are thrown into the picture…wacko exes and love struck sex partners just fly out of the woodworks!
FORTUNE COOKIES has a Sex in the City feel to it and is really well written. The stories flow smoothly, and the characters grab your attention and won't let go. Each of the women is distinct and beautiful in her own way. Rita is a beautiful supermodel who has a heart of gold. Jill is the understanding and forgiving type who is the most supportive of the group. Gail is the intelligent and sassy go-getter. While Sandy, on the other hand, is the wealthy socialite who is unhappy despite her numerous possessions.
The sex scenes do not overpower the plot and are vivid enough to get you interested but not explicit enough to get you aroused. I've only touched on the story and can't begin to give you all of the details. I didn't even mention the other members of the Sexy Six. Nor did I mention what happens when each of the partners becomes attracted to the other members of the Fantastic Four. Well, you have to just read it to find out.
