Product Description

Why should you play hard to get when you can play with fire? The forbidden has never been so appealing as it is in Alison Tyler's latest collection. In these incendiary stories that explore the taboo side of erotica, couples go about setting their boundaries aflame. Committed to each other without question, they play out their naughtiest fantasies, pushing the limits of sex, lust, and the imagination as far as they can to please each other. Playing it a bit riskier and playing it a bit more daring will send readers and their partners steaming towards the next step in sexual exploration. Featuring new work from ADR Forte, Jolene Hui, Sommer Marsden, Shanna Germain, and others, Playing With Fire delivers enough heat to inspire readers to burn their own erotic bridges.

Hot.5
I have to admit that the cover really drew me in. I thought it was so sexy and cool and who doesn't love a hot woman with smoke coming out her mouth? So, yeah, I took the chance, judging a book by its cover and am so happy I did. This is a great compliation of stories, all hot and good. I was looking for something exactly like this and am so glad I got it. I would suggest it to any lover of erotica, along with Spanked: Red-Cheeked Erotica.

'Playing With Fire' opens with an explosive couple of pieces that prove the book true to its title: hot.

Nicky Magennis' humbling and beautifully poetic flash opening leads into 'Fire Woman' by Sommer Marsden, a story that is sublime in its energy, power and gorgeous dirtiness. It leaves you panting, scorched. To be honest, you could buy the book for these two stories alone. I was wowed before I'd hardly started.

I won't pretend all the stories are to my taste. Some are darker, like 'One Hot Slut' by NT Morley, or 'Burned' by Michael Hemmingson. But that means there is something for everyone, and the premise of the collection is an edgy one.

'Scorched' by Janine Ashbless balances on that edge perfectly, dealing with adultery, threesomes, jealousy. Shanna Germaine's 'White Heat White Light' is another poetic, raw piece, honest and emotional as it is erotic.

These pieces are, in the main, serious fiction. Ones to go back to.

Hot? Sizzling? On fire?5
OK, there are too many puns that can describe this book. All of them come back to this book being *good*. Not good as in, oh yeah that was pretty good. Not good as in salads are good. But good as in decadent piece of chocolate good. Special place on my nightstand good.

And I'm not generally a fan of anthologies. I like longer books, where I can settle in and go for a ride. But these? No settling in necessary. These are very well crafted stories which place you in the moment very quickly. Vivid snapshots of a certain moment, a certain situation, a certain feeling.
