Best Women’s Erotica 2011 is edited by Violet Blue. She is a Forbes Web Celebrity and one of Wired’s “Faces of Innovation.” In addition, she is a blogger, high-profile tech personality, and a infamous pod caster. She has chosen 19 of the top women writers for this selection and each has their own style and gives something unique to the book.

Louise Lagris, Louisa Harte, Cynthia Hamilton, Lana Fox, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Chrissie Bentley, Janine Ashbless, Jacqueline Applebee, and Valeria Alexander.

There are 19 different stories over 206 pages written by 19 authors and edited by Violet Blue. Each story is unique but with one common factor; a woman’s unmasked desire. Violet writes that her image of this book is “stylish, coy, slick with gloss and stiletto sharp: desirous, dangerous; ice cream in the heat; love lost and found again; filthy with laughter.” She is completely right! I loved every word in this book. My eyes were glued and floated through page after page of pure desire written by women. I especially loved the very first pick, Changing My Tune, by Louisa Harte. I feel in love with this story because I was seriously into it, holding on, waiting for what would come next. Sex in an ice cream truck? Yes! I was tickled with laughter and my body shifted with warmth from fantasizing. I devoured Best Women’s Erotica 2011 and recommend to all women that are ready for a change. Women that want a book that isn’t masked or tampered. A book that is pure desire just how it really is. Best Women’s Erotica 2011 can also be enjoyed by all men that are looking for a good read that is written by the fuel that feeds your fire; raw women.

I love reading the Best Women’s Erotica books because I always know that I am going to have a good read, and the 2011 edition held up to that reputation! When I first picked up the book I was just wanting something to read for about 20 minutes while taking a hot bath. I love to read in the bath to get myself flustered and ready to go for the situation that comes after my bath. The first story hooked me! I couldn’t put the book down! I finally realized that I needed to get out of the tub because my water began getting cold. I finished up my bath and then retired to the sofa to get more! Hook, line, and sinker. Best Women’s Erotica 2011 is a book full of non-stop daydreaming from today’s most prominent female authors. I read mine from front to back in one sitting. I personally recommend this selection to all erotica novel readers.
