This was by far one of the most complete erotic works I've ever come across. It had lovers of all backgrounds, ages, and gender identities. It featured straight men and women, gay and lesbian, bi, transmen and transwomen, to name a few. The oral stories were highly stimulating and titillating. An anthology is always a crowd pleaser, as readers can pick and choose what stories to read and how many because they

In the foreword I realized that this book was realistic. “Many tales will set you on fire. Some may be les to your taste.” This was not intended to be a one size fits all type of book which raised my interest l

Three Way Play by Lynn Lake

So, it took a lot of explaining and convincing to get the guy to indulge in my fantasy - a three-way, with another man.

Best of Both
Why limit yourself to one gender when you can have both?
This collection of 20 stories focuses on sharing. From crime and punishment in the Nevada desert to voyeurism in Marrakech, to a 22nd century theme park where every sexual fantasy is catered for, these tantalising tales all have one thing in common. They celebrate bisexuality.
Office affairs, naughty weekend hunting trips, and salon sensuality, from one-on-one loving to foursomes and moresomes, this anthology ticks all the boxes!
A saucy short story collection for readers who want the best of both worlds.
Obsessed
Obsessed is not about obsession for a new purse or a new car. Instead, these stories sizzle with the kind of obsession that is fueled by our deepest desires, the ones that hold couples together, the ones that haunt us and don’t let go. Whether just-blooming passions, rekindled sparks, or reinvented relationships, these lovers put the object of their obsession first. From the almost-divorced couple in ?Aftershocks,” by Bella Andre, who finally confess their deepest desires during an earthquake, to a woman who confesses to her boyfriend just how much she lusts after another man in Emerald's "Then," these lovers push the boundaries of their relationship and the boundaries of their trust in each other. Obsessed lovers don’t always do what is rational; sometimes they chase their dreams, such as in Kayla Perrin’s ?One Night in Paris,” across the world and across the landscape of their lovers’ bodies.

Surrender

For those (and there are MANY) who love to be tired up, spanked, blindfolded, bound, or "used," for another's pleasure, these are books of inspiration. And, of course, these smart subs are getting exactly what THEY really want in very many ways.
Good BDSM erotica makes us understand all the emotions that can come into play when, well, playing: there can be uncertainty, nervousness, fear, excitement. Each of the 22 stories in Surrender are blazingly hot and because they illuminate some aspect of submission. The authors of the stories understand the art of submission and the thrill of surrender, whether that’s personal space, sight (?Without Eyes” by Terri Pray) or culinary choices (?Lunch” by Elizabeth Coldwell).What the women here want is to give up part of themselves to gain something else. They may still be skittish, but overcoming their fears, surrendering to them, yields beauty, pleasure and, in its way, power.

Hide and Seek
Watching others as they expose themselves ? or reversing the equation by taking center stage ? can be some of life’s naughtiest delights. Hide and Seek proves that the eye is as much a pathway to pleasure as any other part of the body. The possibilities are endless: watching a lover undress from the safety of a hidden hole in the wall; peeking at the neighbors through a crack in the blinds when they think nobody’s looking; visiting a local strip club to glimpse a beautiful dancer; or going to an orgy where a world of sexual scenarios suddenly appears. In Hide and Seek, readers get a front-row seat to the steamiest live action around as sexy men and women strip, tease, and make us beg for more.
