Product Description

Who can live without lust? All day and night, our minds run through delicious possibilities — a silky hand beckoning us into the VIP lounge; a stranger in the backseat; the hunky FedEx driver bringing his package to the door — not to mention our own lascivious memories. Lust is a collection of erotica by and for women, a fierce and joyous celebration of female desire — and the triple-X trouble it gets us into. In Kay Jaybee’s “Tied to the Kitchen Sink,” a birthday boy finds his present — nude except for tall, high-heeled boots — happily devoted to domestic duties. Maria Grigoriadis’s “Pleasant Surprise” shows what can happen when you knock on the wrong apartment door — without your panties. And Bonnie Dee’s “Ripe Fruit” teasingly elaborates the sweet, sticky encounter of a soap opera idol and a fruit-stand employee on a stretch of rural roadside. Let the witty and provocative Violet Blue, best-selling writer, sex columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle and host of the popular podcast Open Source Sex, lead you down a primrose path to a forest of wicked, lustful surprises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now this is what I've been looking for!!, July 2, 2009

By	Whitney Myers - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's all about the lust in this explosive anthology. There are fantasies galore here, all aboput once central theme: Women getting what they want from the men they want and when they want. Now that's a delicious fantasy in and of itself. Moreover, I liked the writing style and enjoyed the fact that it wasn't too overdone or complicated. This one is a keeper. Pick it up if you need some late night reading material, along with Husband Swap and Roughing It: Two Dirty Stories, which also sizzles with lust.

5.0 out of 5 stars Red hot and raunchy erotica, February 15, 2009

By	Kim Barton - See all my reviews

This book is great, the people are real and they just exude real passion. It is a real turn on and I left it where my husband could find when I went out shopping and boy did we have a pleasant afternoon when I got back.

I've always liked Violet's books and she has a great collection of writers that produce electric sex and this ranks with the best. Much recommended, also have a look at Zane's Purple Panties: An Eroticanoir.com Anthology Wild, Wicked, & Wanton (Berkley Heat) by Jaci Burton and Suzie Van Aartman's 100 Percent Erotica.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little less conversation..., May 29, 2009

By	Charon Guillory "ihavehissyfits" (San Diego, California) - See all my reviews

Lust is a phenomenal read. The Golden Hand was played out by two individuals Nicholas & Molly, one a pick pocket and the other late for a meeting. I loved the way this short story was written two different perspectives on the same meeting, an absolute favorite. Ripe Fruit was also a well written story about a small town fruit stand attendant meeting a soap actor. Very descriptive writing by Bonnie Dee. Sixth Sense was an interesting read involving a psychic advisor and detective. It sort of reminded me of how Beg Me was written in the beginning. Somewhat all over the place but eventually coming together. Tied to the Kitchen Sink, sheer excellence one I would personally act out. The Butch, The Boy and Me seemed like there was alot going on in this, maybe too much. Although not my particular taste, well written. The Hall of Justice was a Halloween party gone wild. The story didn't have enough substance for me however good writing and after all it was all about lust. The Importance of Good Networking is a bonafide great read. Something about the technical talk just do it for some women. Coffee Shop Boy I can't even begin to describe becasue you just have to read it. One of the best stories in the book by far. American Bottom in Limousin was a sadist driven story about a thief. A different twist with a little humor added. Pleasant Surprise is about an online lesbian encounter eventually meets however in the wrong apartment 5C, 5D does it really matter? Well written and captivating. Moving was a really good story. Retired military and divorcee keep things exciting proving lust happens at any age. Out of the Shower is my personal favorite with more than enough lust to go around. Love Triangle yet another favorite and a must read. Het Cats was a cool read sort of funny a little 50's and well written. Kidnapped, an amazing and necessary read, period. Satisfaction Guaranteed is about the best customer service you'll ever get. Tubing the Brule needed more of everything, I found it to be one of the worst stories in the book. All and all the really great stories made up for the not so good stories.
