After reading hundreds of lesbian stories about beautiful blondes with bods to match, it was such a refreshing change to read about the real women known as lesbians...the overweight ones, the ones with children, the ones who live in nightmare worlds of drugs and alcohol. These characters were easy to like. . .and hate.

Initally, I was not too pleased with the stories, as there did not seem to be many REALLY HOT scenarios. Yet, the more I read, the more I wanted to read. The characters and situations are real, genuine and true. I especially appreciate the two stories with the african-american characters and their relationships. I get really bored reading about characters with blond hair/ blue eyes all the time. Nothing wrong with blonde hair/blue eyes but this world is varied and diverse and I can appreciate an author with the courage to depict the world as it is. By the way, Martha Miller's writing style is superb!!!

This book attempts to write erotic stories about real people, however not only are the story not at all erotic or even close to sensual they are better descrided as a collection of stories about unhealthy lesbian relationships (one about a women who cheats on a lover with a friend who is a manic, sex crazed manic and cant come). That story like a few others begin and end without ever having anything erotic happen (such as two people getting together in a doing things to and for each other for longer then 2 sentences). Other stories are long and boring. Most of the main character are annoying and perdictable. Not recommend even to readers who are easy to please in terms of erotica.

I can't believe the previous review has been here for 6 years unchallenged. "Skin to Skin" came out to great press reviews. Only a moron would call Miller's writing "bad." Perhaps the fact that in this book Miller takes time to put a story around all the erotica disturbed this reader. Maybe she should have been shopping in the porn section. Miller develops characters so the reader knows what's at stake when the sex begins. If you are looking for porn, keep looking. If you are looking for well written stories that most women will relate to, buy this book.

What makes this a fine collection of stories is that the people in them are wholly human. While that which drives us is quite often the erotic, it is within the context of a real life, and that is how these stories are told. For me that just makes them all the more compelling. Woof. Also, the fact that this is a remarkable writer, stylewise, is another reason to try this one out.
