Review
"Fresh, powerful, erotic as hell...these [stories] couldn't be hotter if they had just been slipped out of the microwave." -- CleanSheets.com, February 2, 2004
Yet another excellent installment in the series....The stories are as much well-written fiction as they are masturbatory material. -- On Our Backs, April/May 2004
Customer Reviews
Another worthy addition to any erotica collection
Firstly the cover! Stunning and hot -- something to admire, much better than last year's dreary cover.
Inside, there's a diverse collection of well-written stories. My personal tastes lean to the vanilla, so the stand out story for me was the first one, the quirky, humorous and barely-there erotic "Loved It and Set It Free" by Lisa Archer...Other personal favorites were the quietly contemplative "Breathing Water" by Bethany Harvey, the warmandatmospheric "A Tangle of Vines" by Cheyenne Blue, and another friends-into-lovers story, "Paisley Comes Back" by Kyle Walker.
It is a mark of good writing when stories that might otherwise not excite you rank high on the favorite list. There were many BDSM stories in this anthology: "Penny Laid" by Kristina Wright and "Does She Look Like a Boy" by Tara-Michelle Ziniuk were excellent, and despite my personal pecadillos, I found them as arousing as any in the anthology...
Of course, as with any anthology, there were a few stories I found mediocre, or not to my personal tastes, but they were few in this fine collection.
Diverse, sexy, intelligent, well-written (yes, definately well written and these writers are not merely excellent *erotica* writers, the majority of them are excellent *writers*, period.), entertaining,...arousing, unusual and a fixture on my bedside table. Five Stars!
run-away success, AGAIN!
Wow.
I picked up my copy of BLE 2004 after finding out it had won the lambda literary award this year for erotica. I could not be happier. This is the second year this anthology has won the award... unfortunately the 2003 edition sold out before I could get a copy.
If for nothing else,this book is worth $14.95 just for the first story in it... hot, hot, hot!
A little something for everyone
This installment of BLE, as usual, has a tremendous variety of stories in all flavors, from vanilla (Bethany Harvey's sweet-but-hot "Breathing Water") to death-by-chocolate (Peggy Munson's set of short-shorts "Blowing Across America") to wild-and-crazy flavors I don't even know names for (the animal-fetish "A Bushy Tale" by Jean Roberta). Because of the wide variety, any given reader will probably find a few stories that leave them cold, but even the ones that don't turn you on are worth reading; they're interesting, engaging, and sometimes even funny.
