After reading # 1 and #2, my opinion is that the editor maintained the same level of excellence in her selection of works, which is not always easy to achieve as the example of Suzy Bright's once-great Best American Erotica series has proven recently. It is a delight to read erotica that is fleshed out (no pun intended), and the pieces in this collection truly work as stories even when they are not overly sexual, as do some of the better selections in Maxim Jakubowski's Mammoth Book series (I'm thinking of THE DRESS, CUCKOO, THE NAUGHTY YARD, THE STORY OF NO, and so on). There are some big names in this one, Zane, Nelson George, Tananarive Due, Timmothy B. McCann, Shay Youngblood; and some returning favorites who are even better the second time around, Leone Ross and Preston L. Allen. Leone hinted in BS # 1 that she had a kinky side, but in this one she leaves no doubt that she is a straight up freak. Preston manages again to tell a story that is both captivating and stimulating.

Brown Sugar 2 is an erotic tribute to one night stands. Tales from notable authors, such as Zane, Tananarive Due, Bernice McFadden, Nelson George, and Timmothy McCann, give the reader different views and insights as to why people have one night stands. From loneliness, to loss of a loved one, to just wanting to have sex with "no strings attached", this book has it all and explains the motivations as well as the actual act of one night stands.

Although a work of fiction, the book is so graphic and vivid, the stories and characters come to life. In addition, Brown Sugar 2 is highly erotic and conveys the message that a one night stand can be erotic, therapeutic, and at times necessary. I highly recommend this book to any one who enjoys erotica, as well as any one who is just looking for a good read.

Brown Sugar 2 lives up to the same high standards set by the first Brown Sugar anthology. It's smart and sexy - each story stimulates the mind and body. I especially loved "Sit" for it's unpredictable and delicious ending.

One of the best short story collections I have ever read! The stories are well written, compelling and very sensuous. Highly recommended for those with a large sexual appetite. Guaranteed to leave you feeling satisfied.

THE BOOK WAS GREAT AND ALL, BUT WHAT PISSES ME OFF IS THAT SOME OF THESE BLACK WOMEN IN THESE STORIES HAVE A BOYFRIEND OR A HUSBAND, AND THEYRE OUT THERE CHEATIN OR HAVIN AN AFFAIR. WHAT KINDA SH!# IS THAT?!!!! THATS WHY NOBODY CAN TRUST THESE WOMEN. I LOVE THEM, BUT I KNOW THAT IM NOT GONNA BE HAVIN NO LASTIN RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. CAUSE THATS NOT WHAT THEY WANT. THEY WANT SEX, THEN THATS WHAT IMMA GIVE THEM. AND THEY RUN AROUND CRYIN BOUT THEY CANT FIND A GOOD MAN. THANKS TO BROWN SUGAR 2, I KNOW WHAT THESE SISTAHS WANT. AND IMMA GIVE IT TO THEM. THEY DONT WANNA BE FAITHFUL, THEN THEY COULD BE THE OLD ONE IN THE CLUB, CAUSE "IM INTO HAVIN SEX, I AINT INTO MAKIN LOVE....." LET THE GAMES BEGIN.....
