The stories in this book are very well written and the editing was very good. I had recently purchased another book and thought that it was very poorly written (see my other reviews), which is a pet peeve of mine. A lot of writers of erotic fiction seem to think that as long as they write about sex, the quality of the writing does not matter. There also appears to be a general tendancy for erotic writers to "force" their stories upon you, rather than present them in a way that lets them unfold before you. In this case, however, the editor seems to have chosen stories written by authors with a higher quality of writing style, and that made these stories very pleasurable to read.

That being said, I do have to warn that the stories in this book are not for the faint of heart, so if either you or your lover is uncomfortable with unconventional sexual practices, this may not be the book for you. Although the language and descriptions found in these stories are explicit and hot, the stories are primarily exciting because they are about unconventional sex. This book is designed for people who get excited about sex-games on the edge. In it you will find stories about threesomes, urination-play, strap-on play, and other such activities. You will not find stories about making love in a meadow of wild flowers! So if you plan to read this book in bed with your lover and she (or he) is squeemish about that type of thing, you should be forewarned that the acts described in this book might make her (or him) a little uncomfortable.

On the other side of the coin, I do have to say that within the subjects covered, the stories are generally about couples who love and care for each other, which makes this a very good book to share with your lover, assuming that you are both open minded and not offended or scared off by very kinky sex. One thing that I really liked about the stories in this book was that the authors wrote about unconventional sex that was taking place in a context of a caring relationship. Although the subject matter requires an open mind, the writers and editor did a great job of making them couple-friendly.

If you are a couple looking for your first book of erotica, this book could be a little bit over the top and you may want to look for another book and "work your way up" to this one. But if you and your lover are used to reading erotica together, or if you are both open minded people and stories about non-traditional sex excites you, then this book may be for you and it is well suited for lovers to share together. The stories are very hot and they are very well written which makes this a very enjoyable book.

This book just did not do it for us. We purchased this book (and Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples) based on the reviews from other couples and women. We were sorely disappointed. But maybe our type of fantasies are different from others. Male-Male Bisexuality and enemas do not fit our view point of erotic fantasies.

However, based on the writing style, the stories are well written. We gave this 3 stars because the fantasies are just not our type, but the writing style is VERY well done.
Just not for us.

I loved Sweet Life 1 and was pleasantly surprised that the sequel was not a carbon copy of the first but instead develops the dominant and submissive themes that were only touched on in the first. Women who take charge, men who take charge and threesomes abound. There's plenty of sweet stories, too and a delicious helping of fantasies that play with the danger of discovery. I enjoyed Mile High, now so much because airline sex is impossible, and Special Occasion, where a woman initiates sex with a stranger while someone watches from the closet...

We love this book, and we keep it by the bed. It's a well-thumbed read, and I can't wait for Sweet Life #1 to arrive. I've been looking for an anthology like this one for years, where the stories are fun and interesting, the sex is explicit and the endings are...very inspiring. It's a high-class collection, one that you have to read with a lover nearby!

The sequel rocks! Here is another great beginning guide to erotica for couples. It has a nice range of sexual activities and common fantasies, from public sex, sex with strangers in motel rooms (with a husband peeking out from the closet), video taping sex, three somes, sex with food, etc. The writing is pretty high quality so none of the more common fantasies read as particularly boring. But it also goes for some more kinkier stories, all from a beginner's perspective. There are a bunch of 'scenes' where the participants act a role, and there are a few strap-on stories where the wife or girlfriend takes control. In all, it's a highly exciting anthology.

I loved the first Sweet Life and the sequel is an excellent match. More sweet and hot explicit stories about couples in love doing dirty deeds together and with terrific writing, my hubby and I really put this to good use! The stories are so cute, though some of them are pretty intense they are all very "inspiring." The public sex stories are incredible. And the sex game driving story makes me sad that I have a stick shift!

This "sweet" collection is actually super-sexy, somewhat sinful, and something to savor slowly! I actually liked it even more than Sweet Life, Volume 1, because I felt the stories pushed more boundaries than the first. My favorite piece was "A Very Naughty Girl" by Sean Evans, and my second favorite was "Lucky" by Elle McCaul. All of the stories in this book were unbelievably hot and make for repeat reading, or reading to a lover... Thank you, thank you, Violet Blue!!

There's a lot to like in these stories. They offer plenty of variety in the fantasies played out, and in choice of his or her point of view. They're explicit, exciting, and literate - these stories don't drift off into impenetrable euphemism or anatomical absurdity. And, in the end, almost every story portrays consensual play.

The negatives in this collection are only in matters of personal preference. I'm not a fan of the more aggressive kinds of play, even if it's just play. "Sweet Life 1" had many fewer themes of coercion or dom/sub, and I liked it better for that reason. If you and yours like the sharper edge to your erotic games, you'll enjoy this collection more than I do.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sweet Life (1). This second complilation is far from erotic for me. The stories are redundant in their theme of humiliation. If this turns you on, this book is for you. The first compilation had a little of everything, this one does not. Two stories were good, the rest were the same situation dressed up differently. It actually becomes quite boring, by the second paragraph you already know what will happen. Excuse my yawn while I look for something better to read.

The stories are written very well. As I read and shared with my spouse she expressed a reluctance to go down some of the paths provided in the book. That does not mean the book is bad, but it did prevent me from realizing full value from it. After looking at some of the review for Sweet Life 1 I am going to go back and purchase that and see if we can work our way up to Sweet Life 2.
