Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Nice collection of stories
As an "amatuer" erotica writer, I bought this book not only for some creative inspiration, but also to see what kind of material "published" erotica writers create. When I began reading this collection, I realized not only how talented these writers were, but that I still had a little ways to go as a "potential erotica writer." These stories run the gamut from straight, gay, bi, and whatever. Not only was I entertained, but also provided me with the inspiration I needed ... Read More
Rating: - This Is NOT Penthouse Letters
Each story in this multi-faceted volume stands alone as an interesting short piece. Short stories such as these, with no erotic content, would qualify for inclusion in a literary volume of quality short stories. This book explores human nature from many different perspectives, and on that single basis, is an interesting book.
The erotic content only serves to allow readers to explore a part of human nature that is rarely discussed, except in clinical terms, demonized with a broad brush by those ... Read More
Rating:  - THIS IS NOT THE BEST OF AMERICIAN EROTICA
TO SAY THAT THIS IS THE BEST AMERICAN EROTICA FOR 2001, IS FALSE ADVERTIZING. THE NEED TO REMOVE THE EROTICA PART IN THE TITLE. iT IS VERY BLAND, I HAVE READ A LOT OF THE "EROTICA" BOOKS, AND THIS COMES NO WHERE NEAR IT.
IF YOU LIKE EROTICA TRY "THE HOT BLOOD SERIES","BEAUTY'S PUNISHMENT & BEAUTYS RELEASE, BY Anne Rice", ARE JUST A FEW OF THE BEST.
Rating:  - Coasting
Too little true erotic content, too much of an attempt to reach for the literary, without the stories being good enough to hold up a literary fiction book. It ends up a bit dull, and quite forgettable. Sheiner's Best Women's Erotica series is doing a much better job of staying modern _and_ hot. Susie Bright's coasting here on past success, which makes the book not worth the time.
Rating: - too subtle
Every February, I go and get the latest BAE. After the diversity of the series, i.e. het/gay, male/female, various races, various behaviors, I was really disappointed with the selection in this edition.
There's not nearly enough explict scenes for me. Rather, the focus of these stories, with a few exceptions, seems to be beating around the bush (no pun intended). I didn't find many stories I wanted to read again and again, completely unlike all the other BAEs.
As far as I'm concerned, for ... Read More
