I really wish we could do half stars, because I really want to give this anthology 3.5.
First, I am extremely thrilled that an anthology like this exists and I was thrilled to be able to get a hold of it.
I have never read a in the erotica genre (gay, straight or any other fashion thereof), and I was a bit apprehensive at first because I imagined the type of stories you find in cheap paperbacks with men with long hair and open shirts on the covers holding women in ripped bodices. I was very surprised that that is not what I found.
"Take Me There" is filled with some wonderful stories all involving trans and genderqueer erotic stories. Now, like with all anthologies, there were some stories that I absolutely loved and really wanted to see more of the characters beyond what was there; I wanted more substance to the story, and then there were some stories that I just didn't like, that I felt weren't written well. One or two stories I skipped completely because I didn't care for the particular 'kink' in the story, not bad, but just not my cuppa.
But this was a very enriching, enjoyable read. Perfect for anyone who is looking for any kind of trans or genderqueer fiction, or someone wanting to understand the culture and lifestyle better.
