This book is one I can't seem to keep in my house. I have bought four copies and don't have a single one left...and I just bought them this week. Every person who has browsed it, has sat down and found themselves immersed in its lyricism and raw sensuality. They laugh, they wonder, they smile to themselves, they want more, and they leave my door with book in hand.

It is something to give your best buddies male and female, and to share intimately with someone you love. What more can you want from good writing, good literature...good stuff?

All of us can't wait for the next edition.

Whether you need to bring the spice back into your life or you want ideas on taking pleasure to another level, this book is for you. Very quick read. I enjoyed all 15 stories. The stories ranged from traditional to not-so-traditional to off-da-hook. The introduction by Iyanla Vanzant was also very well written--a great icebreaker. I recommend this book to anyone with sexual fantasies and/or looking to take their sex life to another level. Don't be afraid...

Looking for an enjoyable collection of erotic stories written by well-known authors that we have all come to respect? Best Black Women's Erotica is a wonderful book to pique your interest in the erotica.

Iyanla Vanzant's introduction takes you down memory lane to a time when we all had a variety of names for the intimate parts of our body. You will truly laugh and smile at some of Iyanla's reminiscing of the antics of her growing up.

The selection of erotic stories were good and had you turning pages very quickly to find out what happens next. Zane's "Mergers and Acquisitions" sums up why she is becoming a popular writer of erotic stories. Bertice Berry, Tananarive Due, Renee Swindle, Karen Johnson, just to name a few authors, all had something to say and they said it well. You will enjoy their stories.

What was really deep was Nikki Giovanni's "Bring On the Bombs: A Historical Interview." This was definitely something different from the empress of poetry, but it also told me that she could be diversified in her writing. Great work Nikki.

Overall, I recommend that you read Best Black Women's Erotica edited by Blanche Richardson.
I don't think you will be disappointed. I must also commend the great selection of writers who
have ventured from their normal genre to entertain us with some great erotica selections. Good work ladies!

Wanted to share the summary of the opinions from the 12 members of our "Sisters Literary Circle."

Four members expressed that the book was interesting and enjoyable. Two members stated because of the short stories it took away from their focus. Once you begin to enjoy reading one of the fantasies it ended. Although there were many different type of fantasies it was noted that some details were quite graphic and did not appeal to some. Three members found the information worthy to share with their mates. Two members were completely turned off and considered it porn.

I myself enjoyed the majority of the stories. Best Liked: Homecumming; Least liked: the story by MR T?

I am so glad that I did. I could not put it down. I read the entire book in one day. Every story left me wanting more and more. Each story is highly erotic and the book lives up to its name. It will forever be on my top ten list of books to read.

I finished it in a few days. Talk about taking your fantasies to the next level. This book will make you think of doing things you could not even fathom before.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found myself not wanting to put this book down. I even found that my boyfriend (who doesn't read much) was enthralled with the sensuality of this book. We enjoyed it together!

I enjoyed this book. There are a wide variety of stories. Some are more interesting than others, but all-in-all the book is worth taking the time out to read.

...not sure what I really expected from this book. Some of the stories are just plain WEIRD. Not kinky weird, just weird in a way that would never spark my interest, especially not in a sexual/ erotic way. The couple of stories that weren't straight up strange were not very memorable so I won't bother to review those. In all, not a complete waste of money since I was mildly entertained by a couple of the stories, but other books are much better in my opinion.

There are fifteen stories in this book. However, I only found 5 to be good. I was disappointed with the novel. I suggest Beverly Jenkins' books if you want an excellent read.
