4.0 out of 5 stars
Unusual, vengeful, dark spin on female-written erotica,
By A Customer
This review is from: Desire Burn: Women's Erotic Writings from the Dark Side (Paperback)
There's no option here to give this 4 1/2 stars or I would. All stories are female-authored; one story per author with one or two exceptions; most are heterosexual tales but not all. Almost all the stories are exceptionally well-written, some are relatively non-explicit. But no flowers and candlelight and romantic tunes here. It's an atypical bent to female-written erotica, and worth the read for some variety in your diet. The common thread that all these stories share is that each features a female character who has been pushed to some psychological and/or physical brink. Some heroines are weak, others frighteningly strong. Some heroines will terrify you, but almost all will earn your sympathy. But each of them has an interesting story to weave . . . a story of how desire burns.Of particular note: The tale of the woman who is willing to relive her own death repeatedly in order to also relive the precious moments before her death that she shared with her lover.
