"AfterGlow" is, so far, the hottest book I've read of Lesbian love and lust. The stories were, for the most part, Hot and Heavy!!! I enjoyed every minute of reading the compassionate and ,sometimes, heartbreaking stories so much, I read three-fourths of the book in two hours. To those who haven't experienced the pleasure in reading this book, you are missing some mind-opening stories."Telefon" is just one of the stories in the book that will leave you aching to do something spontaneous!

For those new to the wonderful world of Lesbian Erotica (i capitalize this because it is so important), this is a good beginning. From the first breathless pages to the last, it covers a lot of the wonderful territory that is lesbian love and sex. I just hope the rest of the world can accept this sort of sexuality as just as marvelous, hot, wild, amazing, and lovely as socially accepted heterosexuality. I think this book would certainly help the world to move in that direction. PS: keep this on your nightstand for sure! it's great for getting last-minute ideas before you climb into bed with your sweetie. :)

I read the A+ review of Cris Newport's new erotica collection in The Brilliant Review. It said the name of the collection was Afterglow: Exotica. I quickly snapped up this book only to find it wasn't the right one -- I was looking for "1001 Nights: Exotica." I read Afterglow, though, and found it did not stand up to my expectations. Many of the stories seemed cliched. I wanted something "crackling with energy" (a quote from TBR) but Afterglow fell a little short of crackle.

I bought this book because the stories by the following superb authors I did not want to miss -

Jean Swallow - What is the goal and how will we know when we get there?
Katherine Fugate - The immortality of dreams
Willyce Kim - Gardenias
Lucy Jane Bledsoe - The place before language
Jane Futcher - Pale blue hydrangea
Karen X. Tulchinsky. - A working dyke's dream


The treat ws that the book contained as additional 11 stories by authors I didn't know as well -
Chris Strickling
Cynthia Perry
Alice McCracken
Dorianne Erickson Moore
Debra Moskowitz
Mia Levesque
Nice Rodriguez
Karne Cutter
Patricia Roth Schwartz
Pam McArthur
Susan Wade

This book is a Keeper!


From the back of the book - With the excitement of new love and the remembrances of past lovers, Afterglow offers more well-crafted, imaginative, sexy stories of lesbian desire in the best-selling tradition of Karen Barber's Bushfire.

While there are some arousing parts to some of these stories, most of them just aren't very interesting. Some of the stories don't make much sense and the characters are silly. If you're looking for some erotica, it's sprinkled here and there, but, if you're looking for good writing and engaging stories, forget this book.

I loved it! It will turn you on. YOu won't want to ever put it down! Tou will read and read and read. And still want a sequll. I you don't read it you are really missing out

I found this book to be crude with the use of very vulgar terms. I did not find it to be erotic with the use of these terms. The writers need to discuss feelings and emotions rather than vulgar terminology of the female body. A woman's body is beautiful and should be cherished.
