Seriously, not so much erotica (a little not a lot) but the characters made me want to give up men and just meet women for the next couple of years. MINIMUM.

Hi Sammi! Dog damage? Uh oh, what did he chew up?
Tuesday, the entire TV remote. Today, an 80 page music book (like, in tiny pieces shredded all over the living room), as well as my fake fig tree and its basket. The dog is in serious trouble - and I know which one it was

I was kind of surprised by the lack of erotica but then realized these stories don't really need it.

I really liked "Dear in the Headlights" - that was quite a hot story.
Another one I enjoyed was "Five Senses" - that might be my favorite.
I really enjoyed "Five Senses" as well. I love the sense of personal intimacy Rachel brings to her stories.

Good. I am going to force my copy on my sister and make my cousin buy herself one.

Lmao... ahh yes, labs are notorious for that. We had a Lab, Rotti cross and she was hellish. Once she ate a bottle of video head cleaner and a tube of lipstick in the same afternoon.

I think what I liked most about that one is, being married almost 20 years, you do kind of find that monotony and rote sex sneaking up on you, and you have to find ways to break it and keep things fresh and exciting.

I suspect that there are some people who only read the "Best of" books, and think that they're not missing out on anything because the "best" has been presented there. I'm not really sure what I think, but I do know that as an editor, I'm always thrilled to see one of "my" writers there, and even more so if their story is from one of my books.

And you know, it's something even single and new couple worry about and everyone can relate to that and learn from these stories as a way to be better prepared to come up with something special eventually when we get to those 20 years.

OMG! Bad dog! Want another one to keep him occupied? We lost a set of leather wrist cuffs to our canine Cuisinart last Friday, and I know Alan would gladly send her to you (or anyone at this point...LOL).

Hell I find sex monotonous now and I have been single for almost a year. Unless I am insanely aroused it's just like, "Yay, sex. Whoop di doo."

Five Senses is in the book that we're currently reading (Sweet Love) and we really enjoyed it too.
