So Sweet Love is being discussed first? Was it a smooth read or did all the stories really stand out from each other?

It's nice to see some new faces in with my old friends! Welcome to you all!

Let's get the conversation going and talk first about Sweet Love. This delicious collection of stories edited by Violet Blue focuses on romance, relationship, connection and commitment. If you had a chance to read the book (and I hope you did!), what were your favorite stories (because you know you can't just pick one!) and why?

Also, do you enjoy erotica that is more relationship-focused? Does it matter?

Each story flowed nicely to the next but not in a chapter to chapter kinda way. When I finished the book I didn't leave with the feeling that stories should have been moved around or this story shouldn't have followed this story, etc.

I enjoy erotica that relationship focused becuase im married and in a monogamouse relationship. I would consider a threesome, but i dont think its right for me.

Sweet Love was relationship focused, so I think you'd definitely enjoy that aspect of it.

I prefer erotica that is relationship focused but really as long as it has a good story line it doesn't matter all that much

I haven't read any yet. I don't think I have a preference. When reading I try to live through the characters that I am reading about. Sometimes I connect and sometimes I don't.

I've never read erotica before but my fiancee and I have recently found Eden Fantasy's and I think erotica would be a wonderful way to add something new to the relationship!

My question is how detail oriented is it, like does it kinda give you personal instructions on things or does it just describe the way these couples did there "thing"?

I think a lot has to do with the writing style, for me, as to whether or not I can connect with a particular story. If the characters are well formed and interesting, I enjoy reading whatever relationship (or lack thereof).

Oh, there is so much good erotica out there, you will certainly find several authors and stories to love! Welcome!

It was more on how each couple did their own thing. This is an erotic fiction book, so there weren't any real "instructions" so to speak, but if there were a story with a scenario that you particularly enjoyed there wouldn't be anything wrong with using that story as a guideline to make it happen in real life for you.

I absolutely loved Jump or Fall... so hot, and the art on which the whole plot is based, so brilliant! It makes me wonder if it's an actual show, because I want to go see it.

I see, that is still awsome. Kinda gives you the inspiration factor.

Hi everyone,
I'm a little late, and will have to jump in and out, because I'm actually working right now (or supposed to be, glad I work from home!)

I haven't read either book but Sweet Love sounds good.

This is my first Naked Readers convo.

I have always been a visual kinda of person and have never read any erotica unless you count my mother-in-laws Harlequinn's and that was out of sheer boredom. So I guess I'm just wondering is there any erotic art in this book?
