Packed with a diverse range of downright naughty stories, these 208 pages will definitely make it a night to remember. Trust me; you'll only need a night once you start this steamy piece. I started reading it in the afternoon on the couch and found myself in the bedroom at night with my trusty vibrator at the ready. Read more
Down and Dirty: 69 Super Sexy Short-Shorts is just the right title. This book is full of stories and fantasies all planned by different writers. It's sexy, it's descriptive and it'll leave you wanting to read yet another erotic novel. Read more
This is a collection of erotic short stories by a wide variety of well known authors. They include sexual situations that would be considered beyond traditional boundaries such as sex with a stranger, inappropriate locations and group sex. Read more
This softcover book includes an eclectic mix of taboos to excite the mind. It is geared toward women, which could be considered sexist. However, I see why it is labeled as such. The stories did not illicit much visualizing for me. Men tend to be more visual. There was more plot than in the erotica that leans more toward porn style. I would imagine that anyone could find at least one story that would "do it" for them. Read more
"Do Not Disturb" is now my favorite erotic novel that I own. (I own quite a few). It has unique stories that are perfect in their originality and erotic content. Some of the stories even feature some parts that just make you go "awww" as well. Read more
If you've ever had sex in a hotel room (or just fantasized about it), this collection of stories will satisfy your desire to get a room. While some stories don't quite fit and others are not arousing, many tap into the delicious and naughty sex that can be had away from home. Read more
Girls Who Bite

I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. Holy cow. I was blown away. Not only are there vampires in this book, there are LESBIAN vampires. I get a two-for-one deal! I went into this book expecting trashy romance novel writing and instead I came away hot and bothered every time I put the book down. Read more
Girls Who Bite is a sexy collection of stories about female vampires and their female lovers, whether they be human or not. The stories range from perspectives of the human and the vampire and all end up with hot sex and happy characters. Read more

“Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts” is a funny, sexy and very literary pornographic parody of Jane Austen's classic novel. Anyone who enjoys poking fun at the classics will giggle and guffaw their way through this balls out re-imagining of a regency romance. Fans of Austen will either appreciate how meticulously Szereto copied Austen's writing style or be appalled at how Szereto has “degraded” her timeless tale of love. I think Jane Austen herself would be highly amused. Read more
Mitzi does a wonderful job of staying on track with the original Pride and Prejudice plot line, all while adding in plenty of sizzling sex along the way. Even if you've never read the original, this story is still well worth checking out. Read more
Best Women's Erotica 2011
– With stories contributed by Alison Tyler, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Sommer Marsden, Jacqueline Applebee, Donna George Storey, Cecilia Tan etc.
19 stories, 240 pages, written by 19 authors, and edited by Violet Blue. Each story is unique but with one common factor; a woman’s unmasked desire. Violet writes that her image of this book is “stylish, coy, slick with gloss and stiletto sharp: desirous, dangerous; ice cream in the heat; love lost and found again; filthy with laughter.” Read more
This is one of the first erotica collections I've ever read, and I was not disappointed. It's filled with wonderful writing and varying stories that hook you right away.
I cannot recommend it enough. Read more
The stories in Best Lesbian Erotica 2011 are all well-written and contain a wide variety of locations, couples, and steamy sex. Whether on a ski lift or in an alley, on a train or in a house, the sex is hot and erotic, even when it’s brutal. While all of the stories may not appeal to all, Lea DeLaria has done a great job gathering tales that are as varied as their authors. Read more
Passion
– With contributed stories by Donna George Storey, Jacqueline Applebee, Angela Caperton, Wickham Boyle, Suzanne V. Slate, Isabelle Gray, Lana Fox etc.
Passion is the best erotica anthology I've read in a long time. All the stories are carefully selected, each showing a different facet of all the elements and variations that make up the essence of passion. It's not your frustrated housewife's $4 supermarket romance novel, and I bet they'd do well with a copy of Passion! Read more
"Passion" ends up being a good erotica novel in which each story is centered around the idea of the male doing something romantic for the female. Read more
Just Watch Me
– Elizabeth Coldwell's "Heat" describes the fierce affair between a barmaid and her brutish boss, a man she doesn't even like but who sets her heart pounding. In "Spike," Rachel Kramer Bussel gives us t
“This collection of the best erotica written by women, for women, is meant to be read nice and slow, like a slippery hot afternoon fuck on sweaty sheets, when you don’t want to eat… food.” Violet Blue Read more
A collection of short erotica stories that are meant for women (or anyone) who get off on plot more than reading about sex acts. Don't read this out loud to your partner unless you want them to NOT be turned on. I can't imagine the stories from this book doing very much for anyone, ever, in the department of arousal. Read more
Every story in this anthology is well written, with characters who are more than just lust objects, and so each story feels honest and real. All types of relationships are represented, and there's variety among their encounters. If you're looking for romance novel heterosexual encounters with flowery terms for the naughty bits, look elsewhere. Likewise, try another volume for more extreme BDSM situations. But if you want a variety of tales somewhere in the middle, you've found your book. Read more
Lust is not, as many similar books are, strictly one-handed reading (though it certainly could be). Rather, it is a celebration of possibility in sometimes mundane situations, that encourages you to look for the beauty and possibility in your everyday life. It is the kind of sensitively-written book you could keep on your shelf, read aloud with a lover, or give to most of the women in your life without shame. Read more
I loved this book and it's hard to not put it down once you begin to read it! Have fun reading it while imaging what's going on in the book in your head. Read more
Afternoon Delight is a pleasant read, although nothing really stands out as being insanely hot. I can imagine reading some stories aloud to my boyfriend and being a lot more turned on than just reading quietly to myself. The stories are short enough to get through in a few minutes and they are all arousing to some degree. Read more
Ever wonder what sex was like in a time when batteries didn’t exist, and there were no wall sockets to plug in your favorite toy? What if you didn’t want to make do with live flesh? The stories in Carnal Machines explore sex, desire, and ingenuity in the Steam age with some amazingly exciting results. Read more
For those who love reading about Victorian lovers, “Carnal Machines” provides fourteen stories set in the suppressed sensuality of that “steamy” era. The stories cover a variety of sexual scenarios from hetero to homo to BDSM, though there is a little too much emphasis on steam powered sex machines and not enough elements of actual steampunk. Not all of the stories are equally good, but overall, it is a very satisfying read. Read more
Foreign Affairs
– Foreign Affairs is an Erotic Travel Tale published by Cleis Press edited by Mitzi Szereto presents luminous erotica with the subtle, sexy undercurrent of unfamiliar waters.
“Foreign Affairs” contains 21 very well-written tales of erotic encounters in (mostly) exotic settings. (A few of the stories take place in the US.) Although most of the stories are fairly vanilla and heterosexual, there are a few mild kinks and some homosexuality. If you are looking for some heavy BDSM or lots of gay/lesbian stories, you will probably be disappointed, but if all you want is a good selection of beautifully written erotic stories, you will probably enjoy this anthology. Read more
It's like that great vacation you always dreamed of... but the flight encounters turbulence, the airline screws up your vegetarian meal and loses your luggage, the hotel can't find your reservation, and you realize too late you should not have drank the water. It was a sound idea for a collection, but the execution gets a thumbs down from me. Read more
Five Minute Erotica is a collection of short erotic stories that one can read when they do not have much time. There are 35 stories, so most will find something that interests them. Read more
If you're looking for short little snippets of sex and lust you might really enjoy this collection of stories. For me I find them to be best used as a tease to spark my interest and to then ponder about what maybe I think happened after the story ends or just start thinking about how that story might play out in real life. They're fun reads, they're incredibly sexy and might even spark a new fantasy for you. Read more
Oh yes, that one right there. No, over a little. Ya, there. When did you get that? But seriously though, if you've ever had the voyeur/exhibitionist fetish, this book is definitely well worth the money. If you want more same sex stories, you'll have to look elsewhere, but all these stories are pretty awesome. Read more
A beautiful collection of voyeuristic fantasies for those nights when the shades are drawn (but not too tight), the lights are low (but it's not too dark), and your imagination knows no bounds. Read more
Please Sir is an erotica book intended to arouse those who enjoy female submission. While I don't tend to enjoy it, it was still a pleasurable read that offered a look into the submissive mindset. Read more
Please Sir is a diverse collection of erotic tales that while holding some hot stories, may leave readers lukewarm and in need of more lurid details. Read more
Best Sex Writing 2010 is a delectable sampler of short essays about the most surprising sex-related subjects. Each piece has its own flavor—some speak whimsically of sexual anatomy, others are reflections of personal experiences, and still others examine pop culture and politics and how they affect our sex lives. There is something exciting, intriguing, and eye-opening for every reader who approaches this collection with an open mind. Read more
Consider Best Sex Writing 2010 and other books in the series like a coffee table books. The stories and essays should get your mind in motion and spark thoughtful conversations about sexuality between yourself and others. Arousal is just a side effect. Read more
If you love romance, or even if you think you will hate it, if you are a woman who loves women you NEED to read this book. It is a window into the moments in women's lives, that may not appear to be much from the outside, but are intimate, heartwarming, and totally worthy of envy. Read more
If you’re looking for a good read and a bit of romance, Best Lesbian Romance 2011 isn’t a bad choice. The stories are well written, but they aren’t erotic nor are they something to get off to. Rather, they’re for a light read about love, romance, and relationships new and old. Read more
Sweet Life is a wonderful book for couples longing to live out their fantasies together. The stories were well written and allowed you to get to know the characters behind the sexual acts. The erotica was to the point, and there was not too much extraneous fluff added. I enjoyed reading the varying fantasies of the couples presented in the book, and it opened my mind to personal fantasies that I didn't know I had. Read more
Despite the fact that I was hoping for more queer content, I was extremely pleased with Sweet Life. While most of the stories were quite short, all of the characters were fully-fleshed and not just simply names attached to kinky actions. Even without any explicitly gay or lesbian stories, I believe that Sweet Life offers enough variety in its kinks and characters to offer something for everybody. Read more
Fast Girls is a great collection of erotica. The stories are all hot and encompass a variety of women and situations, although there are more that contain kink than others (not a bad thing for me). These Fast Girls don’t fit any one type, but they do all have one thing in common – they all go after what they want and need. This is probably the best erotica collection I've read. Read more
This collection of erotica has some good stories, but stumbles and falls on too many of them. Although some selections are well written and sexy, there are too many amateurish writings in the book and the collection simply doesn't hold together with a unified theme.
It has some bright spots, but Bussel needs to choose the selections more carefully. An attempt to bring erotica into the mainstream which doesn't work out for either mainstream or erotic as a whole. Read more
Whether you're at 40,000 feet in the air or lounging on your sofa, this book has plenty to get your motor running. It will definitely give you some imaginative starting points for your own flights of fantasy. Read more
This book probably turned more people onto BDSM than any other single work. Not for the squeamish, but if you even suspect you are an adventurous lover, you need to read O. Read more
The Story of O, or Histoire d'O, is a book about a woman's transformation into a submissive young slave. It was written by a French writer who wrote it for fairly odd reasons, which makes it understandable why it's such a horrid read. The book itself was so badly written that it truly made me feel sorry once I got to the end that I had wasted my time reading it. It was a frustration to read, and it isn't a good portrayal of BDSM, or any other, relationships. Read more
Pleasure Bound is a collection of erotic stories that focus around the theme of bondage. Although the stories each offer something different, they are catered to heterosexuals. I found this collection to be a very good read and should be a hit among those interested in this type of sexual fun. Read more
Have you ever written a story about one of your sexual encounters? In Pleasure Bound, 23 authors do so, basing their tales on their own erotic and sometimes dangerous dalliances with bondage and discipline. Many of the stories are hot and arousing, and provide inspiration for spicing up encounters of your own. Read more
An exciting sex slave story based on the story sleeping beauty. This book has something to offer for everyone since it touches many different things such as same sex intercourse, bdsm, and anything you can think of. Read more
Book two of the Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice is nothing to bat an eye at. Part of it will bore you sleep, but then you'll wake your ass up when there's cats suckling clits. For a second there we do find some character depth, but not with Beauty. If you've read book one and just can't help but read this one thinking it gets better, it really doesn't, and you'll feel bad. Just saying. Read more
The book Fairy Tale Lust was everything that I expected, except for one thing; it was not as erotic as I would have wished. Still, I read through the whole book very quickly and enjoyed every single story. This book is a keeper. Read more
Unfortunately, if you're looking for all your favorite fairy tales reworked into awesomely kinky and sexy stories, this isn't it. There are a few stories that are obviously based on some classics, and a few that just have more of a fairy tale feel to them. Not all of them will get everybody all hot and bothered, but it's still a good read nonetheless. Read more
G Is For Games
– A book of erotic stories published by Cleis Press and edited by Alison Tyler, from light-hearted party games to devilishly simple competitions, here are stories for readers who love to play.
I definitely recommend this one as a collection of short, succinct stories you can enjoy one at a time, or in bed in one sitting. None of them are long enough to make you restless, nor too short to dissatisfy. The variety in situations you'll find each of the characters in is compelling and awfully sexy. Pick this one up to be seduced by the thrill of the action and the uncertainty of the human psychological need to win. Read more
Sizing up your opponent, planning your moves, playing to win---that's the name of the game in G is for Games. Edited by Alison Tyler, this erotica anthology is written just for people who thrill to competition---people who live for the pleasure of the chase. There are plenty of hot stories, focusing on the mental and physical aspects of the game we all love to play. While not every story was a home run for me, with such a great variety included, every reader will walk away a winner. Read more
Frenzy. 60 Stories of Sudden Sex
– For those who like their erotica in a pinch, Frenzy offers a charming, romantic, and sexy collection of super-short stories.
Frenzy is a good, easy read that requires very little time to enjoy a few stories in a pinch. It would entertain just about anyone interested in erotica from the shy beginner to the more experienced looking for a light, quick, thrill. The stories are well written and chosen. A lot of it was focused on exhibitionism and voyeurism but besides those, it was a fairly well varied collection. Overall, I may not have loved every story, but I liked the majority of them. Read more
This book has many various stories to choose from and includes a very wide range of kinks. Some of the stories aren't all that exciting to me and some were very tedious to read. The overall feel of the book was disturbing rather than exciting for me. Read more
Best Gay Romance 2011
– With stories by Jameson Currier, Derrick Della Giorgia, David Holly, Anthony McDonald, Tyler Keevil, Jay Mandal, David May, Shanna Germain, Martin Delacroix, Simon Sheppard, Tom Mendicino, Edward More
Please Ma'am focuses on men being dominated and loving every second of it, whether they choose to admit it or not. Inside this book you'll find some great stories, all well written, and at the very least get yourself some ideas if you wanted to dominate your man and make him love every second of it. Read more
I'm giving this book a 3 because I'm fairly ambivalent about the book. I didn't like it that much, but the writing was good. There's nothing WRONG with the book, it was simply not a turn-on. Read more
If you're interested in BDSM, Carrie's Story, with its well-drawn and intelligent characters and depictions and images of slavery and pleasure, is sure to be a delight to read. Carrie takes a journey to explore and become the slave she can be, and you'll find yourself lost in her world until the very end. Read more
Whether you're just starting out exploring kinky fantasies or you're looking for another kinky book to sate your desires, you'll enjoy Carrie's Story. But if you're looking to explore BDSM on a practical level, Molly Weatherfield is not the author you want to turn to for advice. Read more
As a submissive, I really enjoyed this book and highly suggest it to anyone that finds kink appealing. It includes many different BDSM situations from both a male and female submissive perspective and not all relationships in this book are heterosexual. In addition, this book is well written and, unlike other erotic fiction, maintains a plot without deviating from eroticism. Read more
I did not find this book exciting, and in fact skipped or skimmed many sections to get to the good stuff. I like the fairy-tale-turned-dirty concept, but the story didn't have enough raw, dirty sex for me. Read more
