"Cinnammon Roses" is by far the standout in this thin little book and is one of the few stories that is actually erotic and interesting. The majority of the stories here are, unfortunately written with a heavy handed, unsexy style of clinical sex that is anything but what I'd term "erotic". Juvenile descriptions of faceless body parts entering other faceless body parts does not equal erotica. There was little story and even less characterization here and the "vampire" tales were mostly rehashes that have been done far better by other authors. My recommendation is to skip this one, save yourself a few bucks and if you're looking few a few chills and thrills pick up a Hot Blood anthology (edited by Jeff Gelb) instead.

I have read this book, but while it was a simple read, it leaves a lot of room for improvement. Cinnamon Roses is the best story by far. The others, while interesting reading, are not all that well written. This would be a good book for your collection if you are a rabid fan of vampire stories, but if you are a discriminating reader, skip this one. Anne Rice's books while not overtly marketed as Erotica have as much sensuality as this, and a delightfully well done story line to boot.

I loved the stories. I myself found my straight self getting a tad umm happy at points while reading some of the stories. One of my favorites was Cinnamin Roses, and I think Wanting. I loved most of the stories.

If you are a vampire fan wanting to get your hands on more and more vampire tales, this one passes muster.
