4.0 out of 5 stars A Worth While Read July 24, 2012

By Katrina Parke

Format:Paperback

It's not something that is normally brought up in a review, but my first thought when I got it, was how perfectly sized it was. It's the perfect size to easily tuck into an overnight bag or a nightstand. I have to travel a lot so it can be important. Good things come in small packages though. Each story was unique and well written. Of course, not every story is going to be everyone's cup of tea but there was definitely something for just about everyone to enjoy. I spent four days reading it from cover to cover. Each story deals with the D/s relationship in very different ways, mostly using established couples. You get to learn about the characters, not just be thrown into the action. It's definitely a book I'd recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended! August 3, 2012

By Jack and Jill

Format:Paperback

As big fans of erotica, we were excited to get our hands on a copy of Anything For You: Erotica For Kinky Couples. We don't consider ourselves particularly kinky, though it bears noting that kink is relative, and that one person's exotic new experience is someone else's Tuesday afternoon. However, we've come to expect a certain level of quality - as well as heat - from the tales that turn up in Rachel Kramer Bussel's anthologies, and Anything For You is no exception. The stories featured here involve female dominance, exhibitionism, roleplay, group sex, humiliation, spanking, and pegging. Most of the stories also involve couples in committed relationships, giving the reader insight into the love, trust, and mutual respect that a kinky lifestyle requires. While we didn't find every scenario enticing on a personal level, we did enjoy reading each of the nineteen stories. If you like erotica best when it's not vanilla, we highly recommend Anything For You.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great the first read, better the next time... August 14, 2012

By R. collier

Format:Paperback

Another exciting collection sure to keep you up at night and coming back for more. Each author puts a unique spin on their story and never disappoints. Just when you think you know where the story is going, it doesn't, and it is even better than what you probably thought it would be. The fun is after reading all of them, you want to read them again and again because things are always better the second and third time around.

I would recommend this to anyone who needs a little kink in their routine or just as a great diversion from reading the latest on the best seller list or book club offering. It is always nice to expand one's horizons and this book does just that. Buy it, read it, do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars bdsm for lovers August 31, 2012

By w.baron

Format:Paperback

Just finished reading Rachel Kramer Bushel's `Anything For You' -Erotica for Kinky Couples. This is a fine collection of torrid tales (or tails) that are fun both read alone or by couples reading it together. (which i encourage if possible)the book has 19 short stories from some of today's best scene writers like DL King, Sinclair Sexsmith and lisabet Sarai (as well as many other talented writers). The stories are all rich with sexual action and excitement. Dont let the idea that they are short stories make you think that these stories cant thave an impact on you.
These short stories each work on multiple levels (sexual and romantic). All the stories reflect a real connection between the partners involved in the stories. These aren't just sexual tales but tales that reflect real love and caring as well.. The stories hold up for both single readers who want a relationship and those already in a relationship. The book is a peek behind the curtain of people involved in the depths of BDSM as part of the give and take of power and love for each other. it underscores that sometimes love can hurt but in a good way.

5.0 out of 5 stars This One Is Hot! August 25, 2012

By Akron Reader

Format:Paperback

Having read a number of RKB collections, I knew that this one would have quality writing and a good variety of scenarios. In this particular instance, I also knew these would be stories I could relate to. As expected, this collection did not disappoint. Obviously, you can't expect highly-developed characters in stories that are maybe 10 pages long, at the most. But that's not even a concern here. The scenarios are fairly realistic and believable, and things play out quickly but in a very satisfying way. It's as if each story is the best 10 minute segment of a couple-friendly kinky porno... and that's a good thing. The whole point of erotica is intellectual pleasure and this collection manages that quite well. I would absolutely recommend this to friends, especially those in the lifestyle or interested in some kink. These stories are hot!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Erotica for Kinky Couples August 22, 2012

By cole riley

Format:Paperback

Kudos for Rachel Kramer Bussel! She has written countless erotic tales and edited countless collections of erotica. Her new "Anything For You" collection features some of the hottest, kinkiest short fiction ever assembled, including Janine Ashbless's "Teppanyaki," Emerald's Apple Blossoms," Justine Elyot's "I Tend To Her," and Teresa Noelle Roberts' "New Games on a Saturday Night." No sexual territory is off limits, including bondage, voyeurism, fem dom, and role play. Every story is a sensual gem. Some of my favorites are Lisabet Sarai's "Like Riding A Bicycle," Sinclair Sexsmith's "The Guest Star," Ariel Graham's "Everything She'd Always Wanted," and the remarkable "Petting Zoo" by the editor herself. Reading this collection is like surrendering control, going along for a sizzling sexual ride to any and all fantasies. Unique, compelling, and classic, these tales are delights of the sensual imagination.
