As a pseudo-connoisseur of erotica, I felt like this collection was pretty decent, but not particularly "hot" or "memorable". It struck a good balance though--providing both vanilla and kinky stories, with male and female Doms and subs, plus a healthy amount of good, old-fashioned girl-on-girl (not much guy-on-guy, sadly. For shame). Fun to read, but not necessarily one-handed. ( )

There were some really great and titillating stories in this book! I'm definitely going to seek out additional works by some of these authors. Fortunately, the editors included a section at the back with further detail on each author including what else they've written, where they've been published, including some website URLs, etc.

Because I don't generally like to read a bunch of short stories all at once, I read this book over the course of 2 months, tucking in anywhere from 3-5 stories in between other full-length books I was reading. But you know what? I always looked forward to finishing a novel because that meant I'd get to read a few more of these juicy tales before starting something new. I especially liked to "go to bed" with this book. ;) ( )
