The best thing I can say about this book is that the cover sure is nice. The inside, not so much. Meh. It was ok. Certainly didn't leave me in need of a cold shower, so didn't deliver on that of the blurb. I'm just not a fan of short stories I guess. I did like a few of the stories more than others, but most just didn't grab me / interest me too much. Ok to good sex scenes, but no time to get into them or appreciate them before they were over.

I had high hopes and expectations for this collection, but it did not work for me. I don't think there was a single story that I enjoyed completely, and every time I started to like one, something would happen that made me dislike it. I've read a lot of erotica over the years, and I've gotten kind of picky about what I read now because I've figured out the tropes I like, what I don't like, etc. This one initially seemed like something I would enjoy more, but I was wrong. That's probably more about personal preferences than the actual quality of the stories, though. The only reason I finished this one--and I skimmed quite a bit of it--is because I got an eARC from Net Galley. If I'd gotten this free for my Kindle, I would have abandoned it after skimming through the first 2 or 3 stories.

I love the cover, but unfortunately that ended up being the only thing I loved about this book. The writing was pretty good (I did find a few errors, but I had an ARC so those have probably been corrected for the final version of the book), but the stories were very short. I knew they were short before reading, but I didn't realize how short. If you like your erotic short stories to have a bit more "story" to them, you might want to pass on this collection.

There are some things I really dislike in erotica, and try to avoid, and this book had a few of them: **SPOILER ALERT** the teacher/coach and student trope (especially the "I'd do anything for extra credit, professor" trope...ugh), things getting naughty at a checkup with a doctor (that trope gives me serious anxiety and I get super nauseous), a sexual encounter being secretly recorded, and certain ways of describing actions and/or anatomy, like "womanhood," and "diddle" make me cringe. **END SPOILER**

This might be something other people love, and I wanted to like it more, but it really wasn't for me.

I won't rehash all eleven stories, but will say this mixed bag includes, sex toys, strap-on sex, virgins, a sexy threesome, a butch trucker, mutual masturbation, and more.

If you’re after deep plot and character development this anthology might not be for you. However, if you’re looking for a well written collection of lesbian erotica to add to your spank bank., then a handful or more of these stories should do the trick

I enjoyed some of the stories better than others, but overall it was a very well put together collection.
