I've only read a few of the stories in this collection so far, but I just had to share with others how good and well written they are. Be warned however that less than a handful of the stories are printed in other lesbian anthologies. So, if you are looking for a collection of beautifully written lesbian smut or just some quick reads, then this is for you! This book will warm you up from the inside out ;)

I had a lot of hope for this book, and with the second story, "Eating Out at Cafe Z", I thought the book was living up to my expectations. However, it's all downhill from there, and there's about 25 stories in all. Talk about disappointing. The fourth story, "Merry Christmas, Katherine" was also quite good. Unfortunately, with fetish stories like "Picking up Daddy" and pretentious drudgery like "Le Main", the book is not even worth a second glance. Pass on by.

This book had its moments--especially in the beginning. However, the quality of the stories really diminished as the book went on. Some of the stories were so dull I was barely able to force my way through them, but there were a few that were really excellent. This book is all about sex for the most part, which is fine, but often the whole story is so poorly written that I have trouble getting into the fun stuff. :) What especially bugged me was the number of stories written in 2nd person ("you walk through the room...") These were the worst of the lot, but as I said before, there are some really wonderful, sexy stories that start out this book. It is worth reading, though don't expect to be blown out of the water. The last few stories especially seemed very amaturish.

I picked this up when I saw two of the authors were the outstanding Lee Lynch and J.M. Redmann. Their stories in this anthology are not to be missed.

The 25 diverse selections include exceptional stories by authors including:

Lucy Jane Bledsoe
Leslea Newman
Linnea Due
Judith Stelboum
Jess Wells
Wendy Castor
Marcy Sheiner

The book includes brief biographies of the authors.
