4.0

Sexy stories offering up wild, hot, and steamy tales from today’s top authors.
In Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 5 (Cleis Press, 978-1627782906, 2019), award-winning editor Rachel Kramer Bussel takes readers on an outrageous journey into the world of female fantasy and desire.

You’ll be swept away by the sexiest business deal ever, break the rules in a future world where skin on skin contact is forbidden, and discover the art of getting off by phone sex.
From threesomes to mermaid sex, fetishes, sex parties, and much more, these authors steam up the pages with tales of trysts, love, and lust where nothing is held back.

With new stories by beloved authors including Joanna Angel, Balli Kaur Jaswal, CD Reiss, Sierra Simone, and Sabrina Sol, along with newcomers to the genre, you’ll savor every sizzling page.

Sierra Simone’s “Terms” should be made into a full-length book. Oh my goodness this story is hot. It has drama, intensity, and of course sex (laugh). Simone manages to pack a past, present, and future all into a short story. It really wanted me craving more just as Sarah did. I will say that this is a poly story - one of my faves being a poly girl myself. There is also a switch in the dominance dynamics, but not enough to get most women fans to be turned off. So now who do we beg for a full-length version of this story?

“Frosting” by Kathleen Delaney-Adams is (sigh) completely lickable (yes, I had to go there (laugh)). It takes place in a bakery and let me just say that I will never quite look at Crisco in the same way again. Estelle, ahhhh, Estelle...once you start reading about her you know someone just has to mess her up a bit. Then comes in the lovely lady Olivia to do the job in a very interesting way. I will say when the call comes, I wanted to be there for round two so I hope we see Delaney-Adams again and I will even bring the cupcakes.

When I started reading “Spin”, I realized this was not my first time up in the sling with the ladies (I just re-read that - too funny). There was a movie about a sling artist falling in love. In the movie, the ladies did not do what Lauren Emily had them do and damn I wish they had. Emily provides a hot performance and to read that she spins herself. I have to confess, I now want to know if she tried the scenes herself first (giggle). Soraya and Chloe are mesmerizing together and I want more. I want to know the rest of the story. (Sigh) It was a really good scene.

If you’re looking to escape from the everyday and discover what happens when women are ready to get totally outrageous, this book is for you. ✶✶✶✶

I received an ARC of this book from A Novel Take Promotions and I am writing a review without prejudice and voluntarily.
