Product Description

Best Women’s Erotica 2009 is erotica by women, for women — contemporary, realistic, and explicit. Editor and best-selling author Violet Blue knows what women are looking for in an erotic anthology, and she delivers it here, with an amorous abundance of risky, romantic, heart-pounding thrills. Joyful, daring, and authentic, these steamy stories revel in erotic adventure, from the sparks between strangers to the knowing caresses of long-time lovers. Filled with strong characters and clever narratives that show how sexual experience is different for every woman, this seductive anthology is a glorious celebration of the finest and friskiest female erotic fiction today.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good collection., July 2, 2009

By	Crystal Mullen - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been reading these collections for quite some time now, and was glad to receive and read the 2009 version. It's quite good, with some of the best stories I've read. I was glad to see new names added to the list just to mix it up a little. I also liked that the stories didn't meander around and really lived up to the hype. A good collection if you like erotic anthologies, such as Sex Scenes: Erotica Excerpts from the Novels of Kim Corum, which is also good, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible variety, February 4, 2010

I -love- this book, for two reasons: There is a great variety in the stories, and they're all superbly written.
This book has the sweet, the spicy, the daring and the over-the-top. I would say they're all tastefully done, and they're all fairly creative. From a Peter-Pan fantasy (literally) to a germ-a-phobe pushed past his limits, to the married couple trying to keep things spicy... there's something(s) for everyone to relate to, be inspired by, or learn from.
And for the price, it's well, well worth it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh yessss. Very satisfying, March 14, 2009

By	Fiona Rix - See all my reviews

I found this a most pleasurable book to read, indeed as are all of Violet Blue's books. A collection of well balanced and varied erotica with something that will appeal to everyone. In particular I liked `Fly', a fairy tale which I think everyone will recognise, with a very erotic flavour which put me in mind of Ms. Madore. What I liked most about this story is how Wendy is depicted, as a demure but very alluring innocent, and I must admit she reminded me of someone who was very dear to me many years ago.

`Live Bed Show', is another story of note that has a genuine warmth about it that made me think that this story is possibly autobiographical. A very English girl in the very beautiful city of Amsterdam getting a dream job of demonstrating luxury beds in a shop window. Very erotic, with an old fashioned happy ending.

A great book, as are all the `Best Women's Erotica' series and long may they continue. One of my notable favourites wasBest Women's Erotica 2007.Two other books of note are Rachel Kramer Bussel's Dirty Girls: Erotica for Womenand Suzie Van Aartman's 100 Percent Erotica well worth adding to your collection.
