Best Women’s Erotica 2008 delivers risky, romantic, heart-pounding thrills. Joyful, daring, and authentic, these 21 steamy stories revel in erotic adventure, from the sparks between strangers to the knowing caresses of long-time lovers. In “Penalty Fare,” a Londoner rides train after train without a valid ticket, until, on an early morning journey to Bristol she finds the conductor who knows just how to punish her for trying to skip the fare. In “Winter Heat,” a woman finds that each year, the winter’s first snowfall reminds her of a cold night when she was 18 and the stranger who taught her that “passion can be found and shared in the most unusual of places.” And in “You Can Do Mine,” Céline finally gets to try out her purple dildo and leather harness with her new lover Leo, the first man to give the right answer when she tells him “you can do mine if I can do yours.”
A great turn on A brilliant compilation of some of the best erotic stories around. They are nice bite size pieces to get you in the mood for red hot passion. And if you've got a man handy, let the fire within blaze away. And if you haven't, just let your imagination run wild and free. A truly erotic potion, a must have book. Also look out for the equally hot 100 Percent Erotica its better than viagra my husband says.
reader I enjoyed reading it, some stories are not as others but on the whole it is an interesting point of view on erotic literature; thanks
Yes Yes Yes Yeeeeees I loved it and my husband loved it. This and Suzie Van Aartman's 100 Percent Erotica must be the best collection of erotic short stories ever put together. If you loved 2007 you will love this. My husband loves me to read the stories to him, which I try to do with the ultimate tease and it never fails to turn him on, and after he never fails to please me. So yes its great, we can't get enough of this genre, and we await the 2009 edition with our tongues hanging out.
easy to read this book is the type of book you need to be relaxed to read. A nice glass of wine, a couple of stolen moments and you're off to another world
Some like it HOT off the press AND HOW! Update (January 20, 2008): One of the stories in the book, "The Lonely Onanista," was just shortlisted for the prestigious 2007 "Rauxa Prize for Erotic Writing." If I didn't already own "Best Women's Erotica 2008" that might be incentive enough to purchase it!
Original review: To answer the reviewer before me, the other reviews here (and the "search inside" offerings) all refer to last year's edition of this series: "Best Women's Erotica 2007." The recent release is called "Best Women's Erotica 2008." I received my copy from Amazon yesterday and am THOROUGHLY enjoying it! (This page needs to be updated is all).
