Editorial Reviews
Review
"Intelligent, original, and downright hot." -- On Our Backs
"Powerful, memorable, potent." -- Curve Magazine
"These women are looking for the edge, and they find it." -- Gay & Lesbian Review
"Thought-provoking, unpredictable, and idiosyncratic, like all good sex (and writing) should be." -- HX Magazine
From the Author
"For me, the best erotic stories closely resemble the people who make my skin flush hot pink and send my head into overdrive. They’re fiercely intelligent, confident and intricate. They can sweep me off my feet or catch me off guard. They are tender and nasty and just a little bit dangerous. They are not always what you expect them to be." —Tristan Taormino, series editor

jumping ship
What good is a book of erotica if it is written in a foreign language? This is that sort of book. It should be renamed "Best Sadistic/FTM Erotica". This is definitely the last year for me to buy this, and those I've spoken with unanimously agree. We are hoping for a better series, with different writers to be born! Lesbian erotica should be wonderful!
avoid this one
just say no to this particular installment of the inexplicably long-running series. both barely literate and in no way erotic (which really should be a prerequisite for erotica). the problem isn't that it's too weird, or too kinky (if only that were true). the problem? most of the writing doesn't quite compare with the mellifluous prose found in your average high school email.
Most Implausible and Laughable Premise Prize for this volume: while there were many contenders, "The Plow Pose," by Zaedryn Meade, wins, hands down - the bad sex, worse prose, and purple unmentionables make it the clear victor. ugh.
New Life in this series of anthologies
Super story 'Clinical Trial' by Radclyffe led me to buy this anthology - and well worth the cover price.
