Andrea is not your typical preacher’s wife — not by a long shot. She made a promise to God to become a better woman... but she had no idea what she was stepping into when she married Pastor Denny. 👀 Let’s just say, when the mouse is away, the cat will definitely play. But here’s the real question: Who will the her cat end up playing with? And will Andrea finally get the satisfaction she craves — and deserves? 🔥💋

This book right here? Whew! It’s a full-course meal. 🍽️ For a novella, it gave me everything I needed in a juicy, spicy, drama-filled read. 💅🏾

Obsession — baby, you need to be first in line at the altar ⛪ because the things you did in this story? Straight-up sinful. 😈📖

What do you do when you have a desire so strong for someone that it burns from the inside out? Like they say—put it on paper.
Peach Envy... that's exactly what you did. 💋🍑

This book is for those who are in H-E-A-T 🔥—and when I say heat, I mean sizzling, can't-sit-still, fan-yourself heat.

When I do book reviews for poetry collections, I usually choose two poems that leave the biggest impact. But with Peach Envy... that was impossible. So I broke my own rule and chose three. 📖

"Park Queen" 🌿👑
Yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like. The thought of making love to my mate under the open sky… the grass beneath me while he’s within me 🌾🔥—this poem had my imagination running wild.

"Record Me" 🎥💃🏽
Whew! What the devil 😈! Don’t act like y’all ain’t never done it before. But turning it into a game between lovers and sending it to him? YES! That’s how you keep him thinking about you all day, every day. 💌🎧

"Against the Glass" 🥶🫦
This one? Lord have mercy. The way she describes her body pressed against the cold glass, with him behind her… the mist from her breath fogging the window…
Oh. My. God. 😮‍💨💦 I had to pause and collect myself after reading that.

One of the most unique features of this book is the space the author gives readers to reflect on the poems—or even write their own. 📝💭 That personal touch? Genius. It makes you feel seen, heard, and part of the experience.

Peach Envy, you a BAD one 😏🍑🔥
All I can say is... when that person finally gets a hold of you—or you get a hold of him—
IT’S ON AND POPPIN’!!! 💥💞

✨📖 To do this review, I just had to talk about the two poems that totally rocked my world! 💥💋

First up — "Interlude - OMG" 😍🔥. Whew chileee… that poem made me wanna go find somebody and become their pleasure slave ASAP 😏🍯. Like, "do all the things you want me to"?! Yesss, please! The way she describes the smoothness of her skin and compares it to cupcake icing 🧁 had me like — I wanna be somebody’s cupcake icing too! 💃🏽💦

Then there's "Why" 💌... baybeeee, that one had me in a full-on emotional tailspin. It felt like a love letter in poetry form to the author’s soulmate 🥹❤️. Just imagine someone telling YOU exactly why you deserve their love… MMMMM 😩🙌🏽. It's all about loving freely and letting love flow naturally. OMG OMG OMG 😭💞.

Oh — and the ART in the book?! 🎨📚 Absolutely stunning!! It flows so effortlessly between the poems and adds a beautiful visual layer to the emotions. Like, YES — give me all the vibes! 🌈🖼️

J. Lynn, you OUTDID yourself 💃🏽🔥. What a passionate, beautiful, and sensual collection. You made me feel like a true woman — and now I’m looking at my man like: “Here baby, read this book and then come holla at me 😏📘💕.”

Tune in to our podcast interview with author J. Lynn—listen below!

Meet Da Geechie Poet: Author of Erotic Flight

Da Geechie Poet ✍🏾 is a 32-year-old spoken word artist 🎤 from Charleston, South Carolina 🌴, with three published books 📚 under his belt. But his journey into poetry started in the most unexpected way—with a few girl problems 💔 and a loose sheet of paper 📝 during study hall.

While casually scribbling his thoughts, a close friend sitting nearby grabbed the page, read it, and said, “You’ve got something here.” That small moment sparked something big. 🔥 It led to years of filling up composition notebooks 📓 with raw emotion and untapped potential.

Eventually, he realized it was time to share his gift with the world 🌍. Once he accepted his talent, he published his work and never looked back ⏩. It’s been a long road of growth and self-discovery, and while the journey to perfection continues 🎯, the support of loved ones 🫶🏾 has kept him grounded and motivated through it all.

For the past 14 years, he’s stayed true to one mission: to move hearts ❤️—no matter the age or background. Because no matter where we're from, we all feel, we all hurt, and we all heal. 🧠💭✨

Welcome aboard this lyrical flight 🛫—sit back, vibe out 🎧, and enjoy the ride.
