Step Sisters
Step Sisters was a long and slightly disappointing read. The storyline isn't steamy or terribly exciting, and the characters aren't always realistic. The writing and editing were decent, but the story didn't capture my attention. It passed the time.
Pros
Well written
Cons
A bit boring, No steamy sex scenes

Foreign Affairs
It's not quite "Around The World In Eighty Fucks," but whether you're vacationing at home or abroad this year, Foreign Affairs should be tucked in your suitcase. There's some sights to behold that you won't want to miss.
Pros
The armchair traveler's paradise, exotica and erotica on a collision course with bed.
Cons
Aside from a pronounced sense of restlessness, counting the days till my next paid vacation... none
Rating:

I really liked it overall, but beware, a few select stories drag out a lot and may put you to sleep. The others make up for this little flaw though, because they're actually sensual, sexual, and exciting.
Pros
Diverse stories, well-written, thrilling and unfamiliar locations
Cons
Some stories were boring, stories too lengthy

Always wanted to travel to exotic (or not so exotic) locations? Foreign Affairs might be your ticket to new places and cultures. While the stories focus more on the locations and culture and less on the eroticism and sex, they’re all well written journeys. Some of them may excite you more than others, and most are best if you're more interested in the settings.
Pros
Interesting locations, longer stories, detailed descriptions of foreign locations and encounters.
Cons
Stories are more travelogue than erotic, more informative than arousing.

I did not like this book so much. It has a few stories worth checking out, but most of them weren't that good. This book is more of a story book with some light erotica scenes.
Pros
A few good stories that were steamy
Cons
Too much detail, Too much back round material in most of the stories
Rating:
Published:September 13, 2011
I guess this book is give or take. Some of the stories are very well written, but in my opinion there are some that should have definately been left out for room of other work. It is very detailed as far as location and customs, putting you closer into most of the stories.
Pros
Some of the stories are great
Cons
Some of the stories really did not appeal to me.

Going down: oral sex stories
If oral sex is an art form of sorts, then somewhere within "Going Down" you will discover how to paint the Mona Lisa. Not every story will float your boat, but I guarantee most will send you sailing away.
Pros
Genre-specific erotica can sometimes get very samey. "Going Down" is the exception.
Cons
Some readers may baulk at the gay (boy-on-boy as well as girl-on-girl) content.

Penthouse: Naughty By Nature
Once upon a time, only individuals with talent could publish their writing. They underwent scrutiny from publishing companies and could never become a published writer by posting randomly among sites or self-publishing on Amazon. Writing required creativity and discipline. Best of all, fiction and non-fiction categories existed. This book only beats the last rules of good writing and composition to death.
Pros
Variety of categories.
Cons
Too many anatomy terms.
No plot or real story.
Unbelievable claims.
Corny.
Rating:
Published:August 05, 2012
A book written by the women of Penthouse, their true to life stories, their fantasies and their frolics. If you enjoy just sex stories... this is your book. But if you want story? Characters? Character development? Story interest? Look somewhere else!!!
Pros
It's a relatively cheap price!
Cons
No build up. Simple. Wham bam stories.

Best gay erotica 2012
For the most part, I would say that this is a book that is worthy of buying if you like gay erotica that is. Sure some of the stories are predictable, but some of them will make you grin and chuckle thinking you'd be just as cheeky as some of the characters. Some of the stories will make you think, a story might make you cringe then sigh with relief (some people can just be mean and take advantage you know!) and hopefully for some people out there, they will turn you on.
Pros
Beautiful looking book, wonderful to hold a book and read
Cons
Most stories are predictable, in my opinion not wank worthy

Take Me There
To find a trans* and genderqueer erotica collection is a dream come true! This book is thrilling, exciting, and tantalizing throughout. Respectful and creative, the authors capture the audience so well through their wonderful words. It's a book you will keep coming back to!
Pros
Broad collection of stories, Varied points of view, Well-written
Cons
Some stories may not appeal to some people
Rating:
Published:August 02, 2012
The very idea of an erotica collection focused on trans* and genderqueer people is enough to make me giddy, and this book took that idea and made it lovelier than I even imagined. The stories included are respectful, creative, and most of all freakin' sexy! Now, won't someone please make a second volume?
Pros
- Stories to suit many different kinks and fantasies
- People of many gender identities included
Cons
- Some language used took me out of the stories in a somewhat annoying way
Rating:

This book is so hot it should catch on fire as you are reading it. The stories are the kind that you want to read again and again, with a partner, with a sex toy, with a new love interest. The stories in this book may also have you consider pushing some boundaries or trying something that you have not before. A must read.
Pros
Hot, Queer, and well written.
Cons
The only con I found was that there needs to be a second volume published. I want more!
Rating:
Published:April 15, 2012
Take Me There features sexy stories that are rarely told--stories of people who don't adhere to traditional gender sterotypes or boundaries. The stories are hot and sexy at times, heartbreaking at others, but always poignant. This is a great intro to sexy sex that doesn't necessarily follow along with the traditional guidelines to erotica.
Pros
A full range of characters, scenarios, gender presentations and sex
Cons
The pronouns might throw some people off, some of the stories might be too out there for some
Rating:
Published:April 14, 2012
Take Me There is the only collection of trans/genderqueer erotica out there that I am aware of and it is a great introduction to a largely unrepresented group. This is a great collection of well-written erotic stories edited by Tristan Taormino, one of the biggest names in the alternative-erotica world. I would imagine that anyone with an open mind and an eagerness for well written erotica would find this to be as equally fascinating as I did.
Pros
Varied stories, strong writing, and lovely erotica.
Cons
Not all stories may appeal to all readers.

Fairy Tale Lust
Disappointing compared to other stories in the genre and a let down after reading the description on the back cover.
Pros
A few shining gems in the lot of stories.
Cons
Mostly dull pebbles not worth reading.
Rating:

I was pretty disappointed with how I responded to this book. The stories were either too adventurous or too flowery for my tastes, as far as the sex scenes were concerned. However, it was a well-written and very professional book. I enjoyed reading it even though it did not turn my crank. If other short story collections from Cleis Press have been too vanilla for you then check this out.
Pros
More adventurous sex
Well written
Varied stories
Cons
Possibly too adventurous sex
Too many heterosexual encounters

Aside from not being able to carry it around, I really loved this book. The rich variety of characters and settings of the fairy tale inspired stories really set this collection apart in my mind.

Cons
Non-discreet cover

Overall it was a very entertaining and fast read. I found myself taking my time with this book, even though the stories weren't that long. I read a couple of stories here and there until I was finished. It might not keep you up all night wanting to finish, but it is a book that you don't wish you had your time back after you finished reading it. Definitely worth a second look.
Pros
Enjoyable stories, flowed well together
Cons
Not all of the stories were arousing, some of the sex seemed tacked on as an after thought

Passion
'Passion: Erotic Romance for Women' is a thoughtful collection of twenty couple-based erotic short stories. This anthology is mainly centered around heterosexual, non-BDSM sexual encounters. 'Passion' contains a number of ethnically and racially diverse characters, which I find unexpected in erotica collections.
Pros
Well made
Well written overall
Varied plotlines
Cons
All heterosexual couples
'Vanilla' sex scenes
Indiscreet cover art

Passion is without a doubt one of the best collection of erotic short stories I've had the chance to read. It's not just about raw sexual passion, it's more about loving and yearning for someone in original ways. This book is like a chicken soup for the romantic single woman, it made me smile and even made me teary.
Pros
Heart-warming stories that are incredibly well written.
Cons
Some could think it's too focused on vanilla straight couples - I do not.

This is a great little book for the romantic passionate side in all of us. While it is all heterosexual couples in the stories they are still worth reading. There is very little in the way of kink play but at the same time the stories didn't really need it.

Cons
No kink play, completely hetero-normative pairings

Cons
Some slightly cliched writing, no hardcore kinky sexors.

If you enjoy erotica about heterosexual couples, Passion is a great choice. Most of the stories are quite hot, and even inspire ways to add some extra passion in your own relationship.

Afternoon Delight is a pleasant read, although nothing really stands out as being insanely hot. I can imagine reading some stories aloud to my boyfriend and being a lot more turned on than just reading quietly to myself.

Nothing too amazing

About half of these stories would be rated PG-13, and most of the rest would only barely earn an R rating. Most of these stories are very well written, but I wasn't looking for a vampire romance book when I bought this. There is a serious lack of sex in this book.
