Rating: - the first and the best
This set of anthologies was originally created to provide great erotica that were also safe sex. The result, thanks to the amazing authors, is a set of short stories that are hot and sweaty and downright breathtaking.
Rating:  - Excellent collection
A great collection of arousing and literary erotica. Some of the best and most imaginative pieces of writing in the genre. Very much worth the read!
Rating: - Intelligent erotica for the mind and body
Very good read...with two stories by Anne Rice (always a good thing). I was particularly impressed with how the anthology of different writers flowed together very nicely.

Aaron Travis' "Blue Light" was incredible. He really explores bondage erotica in a way that I have never seen before. Clay Caldwell's "Horny Corners" was extremely witty. Overall A+.
