Do you happen to judge a book by its cover? Does the picture or its title conjure up deep-seated sexual fantasies, triggering your brain to reach for the book and place it in your shopping cart? This book reveals a side of women determined to fulfill their sexual desires. I wanted to explore those erotic and fantasy-driven stories found in [italic|Fast Girls].
Variety of stories, Women acting out fantasies, Well-defined characters, mainstream romantic
Some stories were too short to get into

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.
some arousing stories, a few well known writers
too many long stories, unnecessary details unrelated to sex, selection inconsistent

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.
Well written stories, hot and arousing reads, good varied mix of scenarios.

Fifty Shades of Grey: Book One
If you like Twilight, stop reading my review and just go read the book. Nothing I say should stop you from reading this book; you'll like it. If you're still reading, I think there is a large demographic of people who are not that comfortable with their own bodies and sexuality, who have trouble expressing their thoughts and feelings about sex. This book might help them expand their horizons, but if you can use the word vagina I would say look for something better.
+ Pop Culture Icon
+ Lots of sex
+ Familiar plot
- Unrealistic portrayals of sex, BDSM, and any stretch of functional relationship

This is part one of a three-part series of poorly written BDSM novels. They follow an overpowering, control-freak millionaire and a weak, submissive, recent college graduate that engage in a Dom/sub relationship. The sexual inaccuracies and terrible characters will drive you crazy, but the glaring typos, misspelled words, and poor grammar may drive you crazy first.
Someone gave me the series, so I didn't pay for them

Overall, I'm pretty ambivalent about this book. The sex scenes were hot, and the main story line was actually pretty promising, so it was really just the execution that I found lacking. Would I recommend this book to others? Uhhh... Meh. I was curious about 50 Shades, so I picked it up and read it. Now I know what it's about. If you want to do the same, you're more than welcome to it.

Overall this wasn't a waste of time for me. I thought the story was developed well and the characters (apart from originally being the Twilight fan-fiction it was) were well developed and thought through. The ending was a shocker, which I was pleased with. At time it could lose my interest but could also very quickly grab it again.
Good Storyline, detailed characters, music references, vivid images, cliff hanger ending

Fifty shades of grey is (514 page) book about a complicated relationship, romance and sex. However it does put BD/SM in a negative light implying something is wrong with you if you live this way of life. This book is definitely geared toward women because it paints our dreams and sometimes unrealistic expectations in men.
Christian Grey is every woman’s dream guy, easy reading, it’s a book by a woman for women.

Fifty Shades of Grey is a romance novel, and a pretty good one. Its primary appeal is to women who read romance novels.

Fifty Shades of Grey is a novel about a college student named Anastasia who gets introduced to some of the world of BDSM by an older and richer man. Although the book does have a lot of sex scenes, it was not intense enough for me and seemed to fit the genre of "romance" more so than "erotica".

There isn't a downside to buying this book. I have introduced it to my sisters and even my mother and they have all loved it. Some find it romantic, while others, including myself, just find it sexy.

I was a little disapointed with how the author portrays the BDSM lifestyle. In real life the Dom/me would talk to the sub a lot more about what he wanted of her. He would show her how things needed to be, and then start laying the ground rules for what they were going to do. To me it read like a romance with a little kink thrown in to the mix.
Fifty Shades of Grey is a good read. It does show a small peek in to the BSDM lifestyle.
Needs to be a little more from the heart of the writer.

If you are new to reading erotica, and particularly BDSM erotica, you will probably find 50 Shades of Grey enticing, although it is not that well written. But, if this is a genre you've read before, or if you have any real life experience in BDSM, it's sure to leave you frustrated and wanting more.

Never have I read the word 'Crap' so many times in an erotic novel. In all seriousness, though, please do yourself a favor and skip this book. It's badly written. Just because a novel is 'erotic' in theme, doesn't mean format and effort have to go out the window. This novel lacks plot. It lacks real, deep characters. It lacks a thesaurus. Skip it. It's 'Crap'.
Its popularity made erotic lit a little more mainstream

I wouldn’t recommend reading Fifty Shades of Grey unless you’re fatally bored and have exhausted all other options.

The characters are juvenile and shallow. The writing is weak and without revision.

I personally did not find the book to be as much of a hype as friends had made it out to be. However, I am more into the kinky side of sex already. I can see it being a big deal for those who have vanilla sex (a term that I had learned in the book meaning casual sex). This book will definitely make your panties wet or give you a stiff one. The text of the book is quite large. Unfortunately, you will get through the book pretty fast, due to this so you're best off to buy all three at once.
This book will get your curiosity going, sexually!

Overall it was just okay. It was an easy read and could spark great conversations at the workplace, friends, or even a partner. It could cause the reader to examine their own sexual limits and maybe push them a bit further. Sadly, the female character is portrayed as weak, inexperienced, and at times, an unwilling participant in BDSM. The male character is portrayed as having some baggage, anger, stalker, and control issues that I just found more scary than erotic for most of the book.
Most of the sex scenes are hot, good conversation piece, easy read.
Female character is portrayed as inexperienced, emotional. More research about BDSM lifestyle.

I am only on Chapter 18 right now, but at the rate it is going, and from what I've read so far, I will more than likely give the other two books a try. I just wish that the girl had a little more confidence. Honestly, I feel like any woman should try and get what they feel they deserve, not just wait for it to happen. I know that has nothing to do with the sexuality of the story, but then again, there is always something sexy about a confident woman.
Very inventive and graphic, BDSM is always a pro to me.

Overall Fifty Shades of Grey was an okay book. It took me longer than a typical book to read, and I often found myself not even wanting to read it.

I'm sure eventually I will finish the trilogy, but I have no burning desire to right now.

For someone who isn't a fan of romance novels but likes some good old fashioned erotica this book was a dud. For someone who does like romances this book may entertain but will not stand out.

Whereas Fifty Shades of Grey is by far not the best written book ever released, it is by far not the worst. Yes the characters are unbelievable and it is based on a fan fiction but it makes for a great lazy summer read. One of the best things about the book is just how amazingly bad it is; the main character uses the phrase "inner goddess" at least 36 times in the first book alone. The book is not going to be winning the Pulitzer Prize anytime soon but it is a good way to waste an afternoon.

If you can get past the concerns I mentioned, the story is engaging because of the innocence of Ana as Mr. Grey introduces her to a world she had known nothing about. Her character is headstrong, knows what she doesn't want, and likes to bargain with Mr. Grey, even though at first glance he is not one to bargain. Just because I have issues with the writing style, that doesn't mean the plot isn't enjoyable. Ultimately, fiction should be entertainment, and on this point it hits a home run.
Great story, interesting plot.

If you can overlook the juvenile writing style, Fifty Shades of Grey is truly a beautifully written love story. Despite the repetition, the sex scenes are sexy, romantic and even a little kinky. Being unfamiliar in the world of BDSM, I thought the BDSM aspect was pretty tame and there was never a point where I wanted to stop reading. I honestly wish the more conservative would look past the 'dangerous' aspect of this story and really look to seeing that this is a great story of redemption.

I liked the fact that it got the word out about the BDSM Lifestyle, that this book is making "vanilla" people think about kink. However, I do not like the fact that this book is basically saying that if you live a BDSM Lifestyle, that you must have been damaged at some point. This is simply not true.

Not a bad read. I wouldn't say it's a complete abomination to the BDSM world. It's fun, it's fiction, it's fantasized. Grey becomes a romantic character that you want to love and hate. However, as someone who practices BDSM with my Dom, I simply can't give a higher rating to something that paints Doms and subs to be damaged or "abnormal." Grey truly isn't as 'extreme' as Anastasia's mind makes him out to be. This is a love story with whips and control involved and you can't expect much more.
Well made, Descriptive words
Misrepresentative of BDSM relationships, Repetitive

As something that started out as a Twilight fanfiction, I hadn't expected this book to be great, but after hearing all the hype, I just had to read it myself. I'm definitely not the biggest fan. This book is about Anastasia Steele an innocent, plain girl who finds herself in a relationship with Christian Grey, a billionaire who just happens to be into BDSM. It poorly portrays a BDSM relationship, though and since Ana is so innocent and vanilla, she tends to say a lot of rude things about BDSM.
Some may find the sex scenes hot, Easy to read/follow
Poorly written, Badly describes BDSM, Sex Scenes are repetitive

Again I am going back to the hype that this caused... Clearly everyone, weather they admit it or not is infatuated by SEX. And Sex sells big time. So this woman wrote a story about crazy wild lovely sex and got published, I honestly think its awesome. Just wish it was written better. I give it a 4 of 5 because the first is my favorite so far.
great sex, great story.
poorly written.

Fifty Shades of Grey is the book everyone is talking about, mostly women, raving about how it has improved their sex lives with their partners. It was originally Twilight fanfiction. It has a mysterious male character, the guy that every woman wants and the lucky one that gets to be with him. There is mystery, suspense, kink, passion, a hint of love and a lot of sex. One should be aware though that this isn't an accurate description of why and how a BDSM relationship starts.

Letters to penthouse XXXXII
There is no way I will tell you that this is amazing writing, but I have always loved Penthouse letters because they are short and dirty. Sometimes I just want something that gets straight to the sex. The theme of this is only loosely adhered to, so if you are set on the theme, only expect to get it about half of the stories.

I found the Letters to Penthouse XXXXII to be pretty unexciting. In theory, it's a good book. There's a good variety of coupling, fetishes, and ways people get off in the book. There is something for pretty much everyone. However, most stories rely on the same descriptors, which makes me feel the same person wrote all of them. Many submissions also discuss unsafe sex practices.

Red Velvet and Absinthe
This unique book is a great one to add to any erotica collection, but it's just not going to be for everyone. The situations described in the book may be a bit too "out there" for some, and for others it'll be way too tame. For me, it was just kind of okay; I enjoyed it, but I didn't love it.

[italic|Red Velvet and Absinthe] is great for fans of heterosexual erotica and romance. Edited by experienced author and editor Mitzi Szereto, this collection includes fifteen erotic short stories describing mainly vanilla, heterosexual sex.

"Paranormal Erotic Romance" apparently translates into a lot of sexy vampire stories told in floridly romantic language that just sets my teeth on edge. There are some more original stories as well, but there aren't enough to justify buying the book. If you really like vampires, this would be a great book to get, but if not there may not be enough here to entertain you. Also, all but one of the stories were based around straight couples (and the lesbian one wasn't even that good).

Raw and elegant at once, Playing With Fire holds several of the hottest stories I've ever read---like a flame draws a moth this anthology will enthrall you, heat you up. My vagina would love to give five stars to this perfect blend of heavy-on-the-sex "taboo" erotica, but lack of informed consent threw a bucket of water on some stories. My conscience keeps Playing With Fire at four stars---but they're very, very hot stars, and they won't be burning out any time soon.
Elegant, raw, very hot sex. Boundaries are tested in all directions, and sex takes the center stage.
Infidelity and lack of informed consent in some stories was a mood-killer, for me.

Fifty Shades Freed: Book Three
Fifty Shades Freed finished the story off brilliantly. In this book, you really explore even further into how the relationship between Christian and Ana develops. You are able to see that they are so in love, yet they still have a huge amount to learn and share about one another. I understand that these books might not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you strip everything back, what you have is a wonderful and completely absorbing love story. What could be better than that?
Biggest plot of the trilogy.

Fifty Shades Freed is the third and final book in the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L James. It continues to explore the relationship between Chrisitan and Ana and overall is a good read that ties up the series pretty well. If you read the other two and want to know how it ends, I suggest getting this one. However, if you know that the writing style and Ana's inner goddess are going to drive you crazy, then maybe you should pass on this.

The book, overall, was a roller coaster of emotions - from the relationship and everyday lives of the characters to the problems and decisions they ultimately had to face in the end. There are 2 major conflicts that arise and that are resolved. It was very exciting with a touch of more thrilling sex to a deepness of trust that lead to final decisions. This was certainly worth the time, and there was nothing disappointing about the ending.

For those that have made it to the third book in this trilogy, it is a must read. For someone just picking up the series, I would suggest trying the first two books first because there are elements to the plot and characters that would not be understood without the context of the first two volumes. The sex scenes remain very strong and erotic, though the writing style can grate on you at times. However, if you've made it to the third book you will want to know how it ends.
Strong erotic themes, fast moving plot, engaging characters.
Writing style can be a bit sophomoric.

Anything for you is a collection of BDSM/kinky erotica written for couples and/or those who know this is the type of story they enjoy. There are no negatives to this collection, so if you are thinking about it I suggest buying it.

The perfect book for those who are truly into BDSM and can't seem to find a hard enough edge in other books offered by Eden. However, there is no variation from this theme. Many of the stories could be turn offs for those who enjoy light BDSM but don't believe in absolute submission. Is this BDSM or just outright disrespect of one's partner? Is BDSM solely about humiliation? This book suggests it. Still, my brain was mad, but my panties were wet.

This book makes a great gift, whether for your lover or for a friend. It works well on its own, and doesn't necessarily need to be part of a gift basket, though grouping it with other goodies and novelties would certainly make a great bachelorette, wedding, anniversary, or birthday gift.

Is it a good read? Yes. Is it erotica? Well... no. Silk, by British author Rupert James is an exciting, easy to read, sinfully delicious book, but is truly lacking in the erotic department. Descriptive scenes of sex are few and far between, and, while diverse, they left me desiring more.
Diverse sexual encounters, a quick read, discreet cover.
Not really erotica, characters are generally unlikeable, possibly confusing typographical style.

Fifty Shades Darker: Book Two
Fifty Shades Darker is the second book in the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L James. It is a bit better than the first one and continues on with Ana and Christian's relationship. It is ok as a romance novel, but if you are looking for a true BDSM novel then this is not for you.
Better than the first book
Doesn't portray BDSM in a positive light

This book was definitely worth reading.

James's growth as a writer is apparent in Book Two of the 50 Shades series, as she walks Christen Grey and Ana Steele through trials and tribulations of their budding relationship. The writing is better, the sex more exciting, and the dynamic more believable. Although I'm still dumbfounded that these have become best-sellers, it was well worth the cover price and if you enjoy erotica, you should give Book Two a shot, as it's much better than the original.

When hearing about the 50 Shades Trilogy, I was given the impression that the second book is so much better than the first. I disagree, very much so. While the first book was okay and a very easy read, the second book is incredibly boring throughout the first five chapters. There was not enough "Red Room of Pain". This book became popular because of its, so-called, shocking BDSM scenes. This was just way too mild for my tastes.

In Sleeping Beauty's Bed: Erotic Fairy Tales
This was not what I was hoping for when I ordered a book full of erotic fairy tales. That said, I have found it to be intriguing. It offers a new twist on traditional stories. If your looking for something with explicit language and is quite erotic this book probably won't satisfy. If you prefer having things more implied or if you are more interested in the history of fairy tales you will probably enjoy this book.
It was educational and thought provoking.
It wasn't arousing and used too many metaphors and euphemisms.

While this book is very informative for the fairy tale reader in me, it lacked eroticism. I honestly don't understand how it got onto Eden.

This book is an entertaining combination of authentic fairy tales re-written for adults, and a literary study on fairy tales in general.

In Sleeping Beauty's Bed is a collection of erotic re-imaginings of classic fairy tales, accompanied by a history and background on the origin of each story.

I can't be the only person whose love of vampire stories and movies has been thoroughly crushed by the last few years' worth of popular entertainment. This book restored my faith in the field
Imaginative and thought provoking, very hot, very believable

Nothing is hotter than vampires, except lesbian vampires. This book has something for everyone. It can help you find some new fantasies or role play scenarios to act out, or if you can hold a book and masturbate - Well, then... What more needs to be said?
Hot scenes, vampires, lesbians...What more could you want?
Too short, you may want more than what your left with.

This is a great collection of stories for any lover of vampires and lesbian erotica. It is definitely work checking out! I am going to have to wrestle my copy away from a friend.
Easy fast read.
Fairly discreet Cover.
None really.

Vampires are sexy, lesbians are sexy, combining those two has to be super sexy right? Well in this case, yes! Delilah Devlin does a wonderful job picking stories that are less traditional in nature, and some that don't even focus on the vampires themselves, but still have that aspect front and center somehow. If you're a fan of vampire erotica or slightly kinky lesbian erotica, you'll enjoy pretty much all of the stories this book has to offer.
Wide variety of vampire backgrounds, Diverse settings and stories
Slightly niche? Otherwise nothing really

Overall this is a great collaboration of short stories. Whether you are purely into the fantasy of vampires, shapeshifters and other aspects of fantasy stories, lesbian sex, or just sexy girl on girl action, this book will please. The stories are a great length to quickly draw you into a world you won't want to leave.
Great stories, Steamy sex, Lots of variety

I enjoyed every one of these 15 tales of Lesbian Vampires that Bite! These stories are all coming from an original place and the characters have much variety. The stories were unexpected and they all "added something fresh to the pantheon." All of these authors put an new spin on an old myth, and kept it sexy!
Vampire Lesbians!, Steamy Sex, Variety in Settings, Believable Characters, Well put together

Girls Who Bite is a book about lesbian vampires and does a pretty good job at making us feel the intensity of their desires. The stories are steaming hot, and you'll be turned on for sure. The stories are original and you won't get bored from reading one more vampire story, as they're all quite good.
Very hot and passionate sex scenes, and a very satisfying variety in the stories.
Nothing, or maybe that a single story has a cock in it. Oops.

Steamlust
Steamlust is very much like the old school victorian erotica that you can still find. The worlds are very rich, but the sex isn't my thing.
rich world
fair sex

Lover's of erotic steampunk rejoice! Here is another example of how the genre seems to lend itself to the erotic. Honestly? Was there ever any doubt that when you combine Victoriana and machines that sex wouldn't be lurking just around the corner?
Well written
Exciting subject matter
beautiful cover art

I couldn't finish this book. If I read one more story about reunited lovers or unrequited love with a backdrop of steampunk, I was going to scream. I like my erotica just like my sex, rough and kinky. This is neither.
quality craftsmanship
Most stories have a lot of the same plot. Feels more like a romance book than erotica.

My only regret in Steamlust is that too many of the stories are too similar---all feature strong brilliant heroines whose hearts won't be confined by their corsets. If you don't mind romance with your erotica, exclusively male-female couplings, and a little more focus on the corsets than the cogs, this book will be fascinating. Even for the hardcore cog fans among us, Steamlust holds a lot to love, and there are stories worth reading for anyone who thinks steampunk is steamy.
Brass, steam and automata, brilliant women and courageous men, well-written character-based stories.
Not enough variety (all hetero, from female's perspective). More romancey than I like.

While reading through the forward my interest was piqued with one short sentence. In the opening of [italic|Sparks] by Anna Meadows, the heroine starts her story by saying, [bold|"I would have been the first to concede how much better things were for me back when I behaved myself."]
This was enough to ensure that I would read this anthology from cover to cover and not regret a moment of it.
well written, flows well, good variety from authors
mostly hetero which may turn some people off

This line right here: "You've got to stop wearing your corset so tight. You'll crack a rib."
"Better in pain than unkempt."
Must. Read. Now.

You may ask me, "Ryu, why did you count off a star for one story? It can't be THAT bad!" Yes, reader, yes it can. It's not only bad in a "This isn't going to be sexy for almost anyone" kind of way, but it's the kind of bad like ending a romantic comedy with the main character getting gruesomely murdered on screen, and then the credits rolling. A 5 star book without the last few pages, though!
True to genre, romantic, sweet, sexy, easy to read
The last @#$% story is awful

Steamlust is a very good read and I enjoyed each of the stories in it. The main characters were diverse but all of them could be related to. Very descriptive scenes helped to fully immerse myself in the stories.
Very well-written with likeable characters and arousing scenes
Primarily hetero-only sex, would've liked stories a bit longer, disturbing scene in last story

She shifters
If you want some delicious and new lesbian erotica to read, then this book is it. Especially if your tastes run to fur and claws, but even if not, you will still enjoy this collection of erotic short stories.
Beautifully written
Multiple cultures explored
Fresh look on the genre
Other than wanting the stories to be their own books, nothing

Lesbian erotica can get repetitive and boring for me, mostly because I am not lesbian or even bi-sexual. This book, however, is more about the story than the sex and the sex is smoking hot! Fans of paranormal fiction will not be left wanting and neither will fans of erotic fiction. All around great book.
Lush stories
Excellent themes
Variety in tale
None!

Sexpose' Volume 3: Brittney Skye
All in all not a bad video. I am not a big fan of porn, as I said earlier, but I may watch this one again. I personally am not a fan of choking; I do not mind pain but anything that may possibly make me pass out, I am sorry, nope it is not going to happen...
Lots of hot guys and girls, depending on what you are into...
A lot of cussing and talking during the scenes, plus big time things such as choking.
