Lust. Erotic Fantasies for Women - book - reviews

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.

If you like your erotica to have characters you can get in the head of, this is a excellent volume for you. Just like knowing a person can often improve the sex, understanding the characters can make the erotica hotter. This book is about boundary pushing and openness, and I love it for that.

I’d definitely recommend this anthology. Through reading, I’ve learned more about myself and am reminded that Lust often transcends gender, a lot like love.

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.
