Product Description
From the editor of the award-winning and bestselling anthology Brown Sugar comes a sultry and sophisticated new collection of erotic adventures from around the world

More than an erotic travelogue, these edgy, atmospheric and sexually charged stories explore what new desires and personas are unlocked while one is away from home, each one more wildly exotic and adventurous than the next. Contemporary, enlightening, and deeply sensual, these stories take you to new lovers, trysts, and rendezvous around the globe, from the streets of Paris, wet with rain, to the sun-kissed beaches of Jamaica, from the hidden verandas of the Mediterranean to the forbidden banks of the Nile.

4.0 out of 5 stars Happy Travels..., December 30, 2005

By	The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers (RAWSISTAZ.com and BlackBookReviews.net) - See all my reviews

Carol Taylor has compiled an anthology with 14 erotic short stories that combine eroticism and exotic travel locations as background to some sensual adventures. The collection includes stories from well-known authors such as Nina Foxx, Sandra Kitt, Jervey Tervalon, Brandon Massey and Tracy Price-Thompson. Also, authors such as Preston Allen and Sandra Jackson-Opoku have also contributed pieces to Taylor's Brown Sugar series. In WANDERLUST, Taylor chose all the authors presented, and each story is unique in its own rights.

Nina Foxx's "The Rule of One Thousand", has readers on a cruise with a young woman who has recently broken up with her boyfriend and finds not only the locales of Honduras and Belize hot and steamy so is her mystery lover, Oba. In Sandra Kitt's "The Fixer", Italy is the location but the man who seems to have fixed her troubled circumstances will forever ingratiate Italy to the heroine. Brandon Massey was able to turn an erotic encounter into a scary eye-opening experience in "La Segua". Tracy Price-Thompson's "Hawaii Five-Oh", had a vacationing young attorney learning how friendly Hawaiians could really be. One of my favorites is Preston L. Allen's story, "Southernmost Triangle", about a man who is caught in a love triangle and the twist at the end had me gasping because I never saw it coming. It is set in the Florida Keys.

Carol Taylor always seems to bring together a group of writers who have no qualms about sexuality but know how to weave a story within each tale. I enjoyed savoring the stories because they are so well written with beautiful descriptions so you could enjoy each exotic destination. The stories are sexy, eloquent and sensual. The myth about inhibitions being lost when on vacation or traveling seems to be true within WANDERLUST. Carol Taylor had me wanting to pack my bags just for the expectation of erotic bliss awaiting me. This is a well-assembled collection of erotic travel tales with stories any reader could enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Carol Taylor Does it Again, January 23, 2006

By	Haitianlover (Tallahassee, Florida) - See all my reviews

A great collection of travel stories (erotic travel stories) by some of today's top writers and quite a few that are new to me, but whose books I will be looking forward to reading. I have been traveling a good deal lately to some of the places mentioned in the book, especially in Central America (Belize, Honduras, Mexico, Suriname, Italy, England--okay this is not Central America), and this collection serves up those locations deliciously. I love that Carol Taylor continues to focus on "story" rather than Big names in her books. She seeks out the raw heat and it steams up the pages. Great Job once again. One story threw me for a loop, the Nalo Hopkins story. At first I was not sure whether it was a man or woman talking. That was a very kinky story. Preston L. Allen's story threw me for another loop. The ending of that one was quite a surprise and quite satisfying (in a humorous way).

4.0 out of 5 stars Transported Away, February 22, 2007

By	Transported Away (Mississippi) - See all my reviews

This book is the first erotic fiction book I've ever purchased. I'm not writer so I can't comment on writing styles. I did enjoy the book very much! It inspires me to travel and see other places and experience other cultures.
