Best Women's Erotica 2007 [Paperback]

Violet Blue (Editor)

Book Description

Series: Best Women's Erotica | Publication Date: October 25, 2006

All steamed up and nothing to read? Best Women’s Erotica 2007 opens a Pandora’s box of pleasures, with scorching encounters, dreamy partners, and heart-pounding thrills that won’t put a run in your fishnets (and a few that will). In Teresa Noelle Roberts’s “Voice of an Angel,” an opera costumer helplessly infatuated with a countertenor — a man who sings a female part in baroque opera —makes interesting discoveries as she measures his inseam. In Susie Hara’s “Puffy Lips,” a refined woman indulges her primitive urge to take what she wants from a modern-day caveman in a dark alley. Kathleen Bradean’s “Chill” describes the lengths to which the heroine will go to enact her unusual, icy fetish at an exclusive “spa.” “Kink was the candy coating that made sex tastier,” she explains. “Fetish was sweet dark chocolate, straight up.” Stylishly edited by sex guru Violet Blue, the Best Women’s Erotica series showcases the most daring, best-written erotica available. And, like a gorgeous lover, it complements any bedroom decor.

This book is great and I'd reccomend it to just about anyone. But I was sorely dissapointed that most of the stories were about girl on girl. Personally that's not something I'm into so some of the stories I skipped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very classy, provocative, interesting WOMEN'S erotica., February 2, 2007

I found these to be VERY juicy stories overall. I don't read much in this genre, but was impressed with the quality. Provocative without being sleazy, there are some real, believe it or not, thought-provokers here. Bread machines - whoda thunkit! --and all wonderfully refreshing women's point of view, varied as it is. Pick it up - you won't regret it. I loved it, and mostly only had read Anais Nin's work. Let me just say WOW. And check out other stuff Violet Blue has been involved with! I'm hooked :)

This review is from: Best Women's Erotica 2007 (Paperback)

I must admit I do like this kind of book. The short erotic stories from different angles (if you pardon the pun)are much easier to digest than long winded novels. Some of the stories are a relavation and all are enjoyable. I can heartily recomend it. Another book I can recommend is Suzie Van Aartman's 100 Percent Erotica, a very sexy and explicit collection of short stories.100 Percent Erotica
