This series has a legion of fans, and it's clear why: Sex Kittens offers a gentler approach to the lesbian genre. Sure, it has its share of strap-on and vibrator appearances, but also a higher percentage of entwined kissing for its own sake. The latter act isn't high on a raincoater's list, but lipstick lesbians with love you for recommending the series.

As a single volume, SK27 is inconsistently arousing. An interracial encounter between Jessica Sexi/Mahlia exudes the most chemistry with the least explicit results. Topanga and Norelle spend more time giving each other massages than eating pussy, but the latter's exceptionally bushy crotch is bound to catch customer attention. Banks and Silver are practically a commercial for vibrating sex toys.

Retailing: Interracial/hirsute/lipstick lesbian niche.
