Editor Mitzi Szereto has definitely outdone herself in this new offering of tales of erotic travel. There isn't one weak story in the bunch. Some of my favorites include Traditional Aryuvedic, Brit novelist Lesley Glaister's Silver Cowboy, and the editor's own Bakewell, Revisited, which made my breath catch in my throat. Szereto is a masterful prose writer in her own right, and her keen editorial eye for quality erotic storytelling is unrivaled by anyone else working in the genre. This is a truly superior anthology.

The stories in this book are neither exciting nor boring. They simply aren't titillating (friends tell me the first volume was much the same thing). The writing is certainly competent enough but the stories don't do much for the libido.

Editor Mitzi Szereto assembles an eclectic group of writers writing an eclectic group of stories. You don't need to buy a plane ticket to have sex around the world, just read this book! Unlike most other erotica anthologies I've read, there is nothing remotely stale or trite in the storytelling in this one. Forget those so-called "Best" erotica books, because this one really IS the best.

This collection of short stories was given to me as birthday present and came wrapped up and labelled "highly recommended". I had some reservations at first but they quickly dispelled after reading the first few pages.

The emphasis is on quality writing as much as erotic content. The contributors range from talented debutants to distinguished authors, including a fellow of The Royal Society of Literature.

Editor Mitzi Szereto breaks out of the limited constraints of the erotic genre to present a unique piece of literature. Erotic encounters and fantasies from every continent are skillfully blended in a book full of warmth, enigma and passion. The book is full of fun and adventure - and you wouldn't mind reading it on a train or a plane.

In fact, I suggest you do - who knows where it will lead?

I think this is what literature is supposed to be.

I've never been all that keen on erotica, but Erotic Travel Tales 2 has changed my mind. I was expecting the typical one-handed drivel you usually find in this genre, and did I get the surprise of my life when I opened this book to read the contents. Szereto's amassed an interesting collection of material penned by a wide range of voices -- from popular authors of erotica to those from more mainstream areas of literature. As a result, this is a collection utterly unique from anything else in its category. The stories work as literary fiction, erotic fiction, and travel fiction. You can't go wrong with this sparkling collection! Szereto is a real class act!

Erotic Travel Tales 2, the second in this wonderfully original anthology series edited by author Mitzi Szereto, has something for everyone -- and gives it to us with a delicious punch to the brain...and the groin! A diverse collection with stories penned by old favorites and fresh voices in erotica, including erotica's first Royal Fellow of Literature. Szereto takes us on an unforgettable journey. I just hope we are gifted with a volume 3!

I adored the first Erotic Travel Tales, and I was thrilled when I read this one. Carefully edited by Mitzi Szereto, she assembles a brilliant cast of writers from all walks of literature, for a unique collection of erotic stories. This is not your run of the mill erotica anthology. The stories here transcend mere erotica, and stand on their own to rival the best of any mainstream or literary short story collections, and there are plenty of titillating thrills along the way. I can only hope that she has another volume of travel tales brewing.

I didn't think Szereto could outdo herself from her first volume of travel tales, but happily she's proved me wrong. There are works of sheer artistry in this anthology, Szereto's "Bakewell, Revisited" along with the opening "Ayuvedic" story to name a couple. She's even got a Royal Fellow of Literature in the book. There's a wonderful balance of voices, from the literary to the lighthearted. Yup, there's fun and frolic aplenty in this superior offering.
