Review

"Girl Fever is truly a great read if you’re trying to get in the mood for your lover. It’s quick, delightful, and absolutely wrong in the best way possible. Locations, interactions, and passion are all over in this book of 69 stories of sudden sex. I recommend it whether you’ve experienced a woman’s touch or not. I myself, haven’t ever felt that, but I found it extremely enjoyable regardless. The amount of pages may try to discourage you, but don’t fret over how thick the book is as a whole. I find it’s easiest to read these books story by story, taking a break between each if you need to. I still found that I finished the whole thing in the matter of a couple hours, just because of the desire to keep reading."

4.0 out of 5 stars Girl Fever September 4, 2012

By love BBC series

Format:Paperback

I must admit, it has been about 20 years since I purchased a collection of Erotic stories. "Lesbian Bedtime Stories 2", "Serious Pleasure", "More Serious Pleasure" and "Riding Desire" are all books I still have tucked away safely in my nightstand, not wanting to give them away. Each one contains a collection of approximately 30 stories or poems.

I believe "Girl Fever" would have been better if it didn't focus on achieving the number 69, but settled on a smaller number (40, 50 at the very most). I would have picked the more diverse stories (there are still topics that weren't explored in this collection). Some of the stories in the collection seem truncated; I would have liked to see those ones developed more fully. Also, some of the 'intimate moments' become redundant ... insert 2 fingers, bend slightly, graze thumb over __ while __. Well, you get the picture.:-p

However, there are quite a number of good and great stories with some excellent writing. And here's the key to the ones that stood out- UNIQUENESS. Not all of the stories actually involve sudden sex and not all of the stories have sex in them ... refreshing. I've listed my favorites by the order that they are found in the book and the reason they struck a chord with me : "Answering the Call" - Riding in an ambulance will never be the same for me, instead of wondering who died in this stretcher, I'll be wondering if it ever saw any action. "Love Las Muertas" - The Ghost Train makes for a playful setting and the writing was wonderful. Ah the magic of friction a banister, for example, or the vibrations of a washing machine. "I Do" - It reminded me of my ceremony (the stress), but instead of seducing my other half, I was sewing a button on her blouse. "Ignition Switch" - I just loved the writing on this one and for those that have ever been with a man, it rings true. "Signature" - Ah the euphoria of letting the inner animal out. "An Explanation" - The body may be ill, but the libido or desire for pleasure is well. "Patience" - `Sit on my' the story begins, oh a request I could never turn down and sometimes it is possible to seduce one's shrink. "Born to Ride" - This one made me want to call my brother asking to borrow his bike. "The Virtues of Being Forward" - I think of this as a fantasy every single girl has had. "Here and Back Again" - A reminder that there are still those that feel that they have to hide or aren't brave enough to come into the light. "Pierced" - That's on my `to do' list right after bungee jumping. Not! But I didn't mind reading about it, because I had no idea what the `procedure' involved. "What Next" - Unlike the other 2 stories where a full hand was involved, this one actually made me think that the writer had some knowledge of BDSM. "Cats and Dogs" - Just because you live in a wheelchair doesn't mean that you're not like the rest of us ... like waiting for that `special package', or having a sibling show up at an inopportune moment. "In the Sculpture Garden" - Perfection : Eternity with a marble Venus. "I Wish I Knew You" - Brilliant!

3.0 out of 5 stars just a little taste October 1, 2012

By Maria

Format:Paperback

What I like best about short short collections is that the reader gets a sample of work from many authors he or she may have never heard of before. Try this book if you're looking for new names in lesbian erotica. Then go and explore more writing from your favorite authors in the book!
