While I'm a big fan of erotica, and have enjoyed several of the Mammoth books over the years, I found myself thinking "same old, same old" while perusing this volume. Sure there are gems from many of my favorite authors (Rachel Kramer Bussel, Simon Sheppard, Cheyenne Blue, Cecilia Tan), but there also were a few that didn't float my boat. Real standouts included the amazing "Swimmer's Body" by respected author, Patrick Califia, and the funny "The End of Daphne Greenwood's Travel Career" by Tara Alton.

Overall, a good, solid read that won't disappoint.

I haven't waded all the way through this book yet, because when reading erotica I seem to have to stop and... take breaks fairly often. But what I've read so far has been excellent. Like any major erotica anthology, there will always be some stories that work for you and some that don't, but this is an overwhelmingly good collection. Especially the first story in the book (by new writer Gannon), which frankly is worth the cost of the book on its own.

If you want variety in your erotica reading...then this is the

book for you...including getting a tattoo...celebrating American holidays..in most unusual ways..and more.

I especially enjoyed Mike Kimera's American Holidays....my favorite being Memorial Day...and WHAT a celebration.

I have read his work before...on ERWA and Clean Sheets...and do enjoy his stories.There is sex...of course...

but also ...substance....a good story line is always there. Read....and enjoy !!!!!

The clock will magically go round, you'll wonder where time went and your only regret might be that some of the tales are not longer and more detailed. Many read like GOOD MYSTERIES. The ending only becomes apparent in the very last words. Not a BEDTIME STORIES piece. You won't want to sleep once you open this piece! Sit back and enjoy!
