Disappointment.
This book simply isn't worth the money. There is absolutely no depth to it whatsoever. Despite the long page length, there is no sexy substance. It's a complete let down.

Pros
short stories
Cons
no depth to stories
I did my research for quite a while on what sexy books to look for, especially since I have a new boyfriend and we're so excited about trying new things and expanding our horizons. Thinking that this book would be absolutely exceptional, I went ahead and bought it from a discount website that sells books dirt cheap. Anyway, thank goodness I didn't pay full price for it. It was totally not worth the money I wasted on it.
I did not share this book with my man. I was totally embarrassed by it. And I was shocked that it had gotten such good reviews from everyone else. I'm thinking of leaving it somewhere in public so someone could have a pleasant surprise and take the book home with them.
This book was not at all what I expected. Maybe I'm just used to reading those crotch burner books like Penthouse or something, but this book has no substance to me at all. All the fantasies are very shallow and have no details whatsoever. They are only any good if you enjoy a short, as in 3 sentences, masturbation story.
Apparently this book is based off of an article posted by Nancy Friday looking for women who will share their sexual fantasies with her and she can compile them into a book and write short synopses at the beginning of each chapter.
Most are about shy women who like dogs. Dogs. I'm a pretty normal person and I don't have sexual fantasies about dogs. Ever. I find it quite appalling. There are at least 4 stories about dogs. Maybe if you're into that kind of thing, but it's not for me.
Also, the table of contents makes no sense whatsoever. I just flip around until I find a story I like.

Haven't picked up this book after the initial review. It's still of NO use to me. I suppose next time, I will do more research. =[

Thank you for viewing My Secret Garden – erotic book review page!
Still I can understand your disappointment after reading the erotica anthologies that exist now...this really is more of an exploratory book than a "crotch burner". I loved that description! That should be one of the ranking system descriptions for books!
