I love Urban Fiction but I just didn't get these stories, they weren't what I expected. I've read Noire's books and can I say, please let Juicy rest? Sometimes you mess up when you go too far with one character. The stories were just raunchy without a cause, no real plot, storyline or erotica. Borrow it from a friend, rent it from the library, don't buy it.

OK... allright...now this is an erotic collection that I can get with. Noire is an author who has written some pretty erotic and daring stories in the past so I was interested when I saw she was penning an erotic collection. For me Noire has been a hit and miss author. Some of her books I've loved and others I could have done without. This one FREAKING ROCKS!!! I would assume that in some ways it's harder to put together a collection because you have to pick someone else's work under YOUR name.

Noire does a wonderful job with picking the right stories, authors, and the end result is one of the better erotic collections you'll read. She starts us out with her story and takes us back to her first book `G-Spot'. This is my favorite book of hers and I was really happy to see her revisit it, even if it was just for a minute. I assume that `G-Spot 2' is on the way and if I was interested before, I'm definitely interested now since she does something pretty major with the two main characters.

This collection of Urban Erotic Quickies is just that. Quick and satisfying!! Some of the stories were straight hood and all about the street! Others were a cross between `The Wire' and `Sex in the City'. ALL had extremely graphic, hot, steamy, grimy, dirty, erotic, tasty, delicious, arousing, and satisfying sex! Some of these authors must have had a thesaurus next to their laptops because of the way they described some of the scenes. You almost feel like you are under the bed listening, a fly on the wall watching, or a drop of sweat on their bodies participating.

Don't sleep on this one yall. Here are some of my favorites:

`That Bitch Juicy'
`Ain't Nuthin' Pretty' (mean for no reason ending, I loved it!)
`Thug Lovin'
`Homey, Lover, Friend'
`Me, He, and She' (wish this could be my fantasy and my second favorite)
Ayeesha (My favorite)
`Training Day'
'2 Can Play'

Whack, whack, whack! Authors that I adore just freaking sh**ted all over their careers. I don't know anymore. I'm almost afraid to buy another book from these people. How can you offer so much disrespect to the art? Of and Norie, please leave G-spot alone. Adding to it will only ruin a perfectly great story with that of a mediocre one. If you want to do a story about a straight grimy, unlucky, get-money chick then do that but don't make G-spot a casualty of that.
p.s. somebody is giving me my money back!

Now this is what I call street erotica!

Noire has always been my favorite urban erotica novelist, along with the new author Shay (Raw: An Erotic Street Tale) , but I now see there are other erotica authors who can really get down. Especially that Eric Gray. His story was off the hook!
And Juicy . . . ooh, something tells me were going to see more on her, huh, Noire? And I can't wait!
I also can't wait to see your next anthology, because this collection was too good to be the only one!

Hot, steamy, intriguing, Thug loving, Drama are adjectives used to describe Noire Presents: From the Streets to the Sheets. Like the old saying goes, thugs need loving too. This steamy novel gives you a taste from various authors and shows that a 'freak' can come in all shapes, sizes and various walks of life. If you are looking for a book that holds nothing back, then this is the book for you. You will not want to put this book down. Anticipation to find out what happens next is the best and is definitely throughout the different authors' stories in this anthology. These are my two favorite stories within the novel.

"Me, He & She" by Aretha Temple
In a chance meeting, Tia meets this sexy chocolate brother Telly, who happens to be married. Tia and Telly enter into a whirlwind relationship. Is it a coincidence? Then Tia meets Brooklyn, a 29-year-old entrepreneur who is also married. What do these people have in common? Fantasy, Desire, Passion...and Deception.

"2 Can Play" by K'wan
Chocolate has it all; he is one of those brothers who you can't tell nothing. With a chiseled body and good looks, Chocolate preys upon weak-minded and low-self esteem women. He also has a down woman in his corner named Keita. But what's done in the dark always come to light. Chocolate isn't the only one who has a secret. Keita has one too, but the realization could end deadly.

Overall, I enjoyed this anthology. It provided a sizzling summer read. Hood love and thug love is always a good topic. The storylines were a tad bit short, but that is the point of an urban erotic quickie. Straight the point, no chaser. Noire keeps it real as usual, holding nothing back. From the Streets to the Sheets is explicit yet exquisite.

I had never read an erotic novel that was so...what's the word I'm looking for??...."hood" or "gangster" lol. It's very violent! But, I guess you definitely can judge a book by it's cover. There's the violent moments, and then the sexual moments. If that's what you're into reading then this is the book for you lol.

I have been sitting on this book for a while and just got the chance to read it. Some of my favorite urban authors contributed to the arousing stories so I was confident that I would enjoy and wanted to see what the authors I hadn't read anything by brought to the collection.

Noire, Euftis Emory, Erick Gray, Kwan and Joy are all authors who have raised the bar so I expected nothing short of enjoyable from them.

The other authors I looked forward to reading their work for the first time and I was not disappointed. This is definitely a steamy collection of stories.

My favorites are "Ain't Nothing Sweet" by Plea$ure and "Thug Lovin" by Andrea Blackstone; because both stories drew me in with a satisfying steamy tale.

If you love erotica this should be in your collection.

I LIKED MOST OF THE STORIES EXCEPT LET JUICY DIE(LIKE STATED BY ANOTHER REVIEWER). MY FAVORITE STORY WAS PRETTY MF& STORY WITH KETA(MY NAME IS KETA).THE BOOK HAD MY HORMONES RACING. I LOVED THE STORY ABOUT THE GUY PLEASING THE GIRL AT WORK AND THAT GIRL WAS NEGLECTED BY HER BUSY BOYFRIEND.

I loved this book Noire never lets me down! after reading this collection I must say that it had me dripping wet.... So much detail I felt like I was actually there with them,lol! I have to say I can not what til she comes out with her new book "That Bitch Juicy" I know that it will be good! As far as the other Authers they are Great! But I have to say that my favorite one of them all is the one called "Nothen Sweet".All this authers was a great clabo and i will be looking for there books as well. If u are in search for a new auther then this collection will be a open opener for you!

I enjoyed this book. Noire's piece to the collection was a little dry but a person would have to Read G-Spot in order to get the concept of what Noire is talking about in the storyline. I enjoyed "Life of Sin", "Grimier" but the only one I could never get over was "Ayeesha". It has you thinking it was for real situation but wait till the end of it.
