" Not so long ago, vanilla was synonymous with bland, safe, and boring. Our reigning vanilla queen has done much to correct this misconception and that alone is enough to justify her crown. Yet Patricia Rain continues to venture deep into the sensual mysteries of the seductive vanilla bean, always returning from her journeys with delicious tales of passion and grace."
