The Concubine’s Gift is the 1st novel by K. Ford K.
In the small town of Valentine, Nevada, shy and proper Bernice Babbitt, 39-year-old mother of two, lives vicariously through her secret collection of antique, erotic sex toys. Living in a town known for its history of prostitutes and a bordello, Bernice can’t help but be drawn into the taboo world of erotica.
One day, she buys an old, antique makeup case previously owned by a famous Hong Kong concubine known as “Blissful Night.” Hidden in a glued drawer inside the makeup case is a mysterious jar of makeup powder leftover from Blissful Night’s days as a concubine.
Rapt by the notion of finding the powder, Bernice applies it to her face and is not only gifted with enhanced natural beauty, but also with past and future visions of the sex lives of those around her. The reserved and inhibited Bernice must find a way to put her visions to good use, or be haunted by the erotic visions forever, or for as long as she uses the powder to enhance her beauty.
The Concubine’s Gift reads more like a novella than a full novel. The first chapter is about the history of Valentine and its infamous bordello. The novel then segues into present-day life and the story of Bernice—and into quite a sexy ride.
The concept of The Concubine’s Gift is very original, and I love the descriptions of the erotica Bernice witnesses. The erotica in this book is written in a manner that requires you to use your imagination to fill in the blanks.
Overall, The Concubine’s Gift is a fun glimpse into the sex lives and fetishes of everyday people you talk to in everyday life. You just never know what goes on in the private sex lives of those around you.
K. Ford K. has also written The Wife of John the Baptist.
