Product Description

Violet Blue is an editor very much in tune with her audience. She knows what readers want from an erotic anthology, and she knows how to deliver it. In her latest offering, she explores the theme of women on the verge of sexual awakening. From wild sexual adventures to pushing the limits to taking chances and having them pay off, the women in these very realistic, very explicit, and very contemporary fantasies throw off their inhibitions, succumbing to sexual pleasure in all its myriad forms. Along the way, they also begin to learn a little bit about themselves and what their bodies are capable of in their never-ending search for carnal satisfaction. Featuring work from Saskia Walker, Angela Caperton, Tamara Rogers, Nan Andrews, Noel Burch and others, these “girls on top” are breaking all the rules — and loving every minute of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great erotic reading., September 14, 2009

By	Rebecca Grabowski (Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This takes female empowerment to a whole new level! I thoght the collection was really well written and very sexy. There are about, I think, nineteen total stories in this anthology and I was hard pressed to find one I didn't like--unusual for an erotica anthology of this size. So, if you are looking for a fun ride, one that might just make you lose a bit of inhibition along the way, I'd say you can't go wrong wtih "Girls on Top," as well as Husband Swap and Roughing It: Two Dirty Stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, May 18, 2009

Blue, Violet (editor). "Girls on Top: Explicit Erotica for Women", Cleis Press, 2009.

WOW!

Amos Lassen


Let me start off in my own defense--yes, I am a man reviewing women's erotica and I feel qualified to do so. I love erotica and I love literature so despite my gender I know what to look for in books. I am glad to say that "Girls on Top" has it all and that is due to the discriminating taste of its editor Violet Blue. She obviously is aware of what her audience wants and she knows erotica. The stories are about women who approach sexual awakening and she gives us stories that are truly erotic. When a woman takes control she can determine her own level of eroticism and we have several stories here that give women the edge. Some of the stories really push the borders between erotica and pornography and no, they are not the same. Erotica require some literary skill while pornography is purely hedonistic.
In this collection inhibitions are thrown to the wind and the stories are contemporary and realistic.
Authors include B.J. Franklin, Remittance Girl, Anastasia Mavromatics, Layla Briar, Elizabeth Calvin, Anais Morten, Maddy Stuart and others for a total of 19 writers and an interesting introduction by the editor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why not? Love this guiltless treat!, June 11, 2009

By	J. Hunsberger "mrsmom" (MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yep, I'm a soccer mom who loves a good erotic read and this one is great. Why not treat yourself to something truly steamy ladies? The short story format means you don't have to devote a lot of time to fully enjoy this book. There is something in here for everyone's taste, so you can skip around if you like somethings better than others. But keep an open mind. You might be suprised at what you find erotic once you're finished!
