Lust - book discontinued by Alyson Publications - review by Rae's Secret

This was my first time reviewing a book and I jumped in enthusiastically. I made sure I had the right environment for reading erotic literature. I was freshly showered and perfumed. I had fresh sheets on my bed. Candles on the nightstand. I was ready!

The first thing that struck me about the book is the titled Lust:Bisexual Erotica. Some of the stories don't even seem to fit that genre at all. I have to say that one of the reasons I picked this book to review was my curiosity on the subject of Bi sexuality, so I was a bit disappointed. I usually find stories to involving bisexual encounters to be quite stimulating, hence my choice of this book.

I did find that the book was well written. The author knows how to create an inviting story with interesting characters. There is a wide variety in her stories, some even fable like. For the most part I enjoyed most of her writing, although some of her stories strike me as a little odd. The erotic part almost seems like an afterthought or coincidence. Still, the author creates interesting characters full of emotion and personality, keeping your rapt attention.

I did notice the author seems to have some kind of fascination with anything anal. That's fine for some, and even for me in small amounts. However I felt like the subject was the main focus in the majority of her stories. Perhaps the book would have been better titled Lust: Anal Erotica. Get your lube ready!!

In summary, I would say this book reads well and has some quality stories. Lust: Bisexual Erotica is defiantly more graphic than a romance novel, but didn't seem to really put me in the mood. Still a worthwhile book to add to your erotic book collection.
