French Kissing: Season Four

Talking about sperm brings ladies together in unexpected ways.

France's President Dominque Laroche is still making waves with her live-in lover and “First Lady” Steph two years after the election. Unfortunately, Steph is dealing with the issues of being First Lady and what her role is in Dominque's life as the Presidency takes dominance over everything. Dominque's political competition introduces a bill asking for fertility treatments to be allowed to everyone who wants it not just heterosexual married women. It is this conversation which introduces new people into Steph's life. Zola is a reporter who moved from Australia to be with her lover Camille and is suffering from not only homesickness but a feeling of displacement in France. Aurore is a radio show host who talks about sex and also helped write the bill. Then add in the ladies from Barbier & Cyr and drama is always bound to happen.

In French Kissing: Season Four, we get introduced to new ladies and different dramas by Harper Bliss. Zola's story is one that anyone who has ever moved to another country, or even vacationed in one for a long period of time, can relate to as she is a stranger to everything about France. She does not know the language nor do Parisians understand her when she asking for a “flat white”. (From my own experience just in the U.S., try moving from the North to the South and asking to go to the “bubbler” or asking for “jimmies”.) Zola is also working a job she does not fit into. Then when she is introduced by her girlfriend to all of her girlfriend's co-workers, Camille starts to get harassed at work for being a lesbian. This sounds like all heavy materials, but Bliss brings us humor with the Steph's relationship with Solange, Dominque's Chief of Staff. Their constant butting of heads is really quite funny. Yet, once again Bliss takes a character like Solange and puts a twist on her and makes her human. The character I relate to the most to out of this entire series is actually Aurore and not for her sexual exploits (laugh). Aurore is open about sexuality and the ramifications of it on multiple levels and this is something I have a tendency to get on my soapbox about and it made me laugh to see Bliss writing words that I have said so many times (damn, I am not as original as I thought). Bliss has the ability to balance the heavy topic and humor and it is illustrated nicely in this book. There's drama, humor, and yes thank goodness sex! There is even strap-on sex which was missing in the last book. Thank you Ms. Bliss. The sex is not as descriptive as in her other books, but there is enough sex to get an R rating here. The new ladies are great and it also fun to visit with the previous ladies. Paris and Bliss are a great match!
