Summary: Exciting work from both new and established lesbian writers
Review: An excellent addition to the growing library of lesbian literature. It is exciting to read not only pieces from such established authors as Dorothy Allison and Jennifer Levin, but also work by exciting new talents like Lauren Sanders, whose forthcoming novel KAMIKAZE LUST I have every intention of reading once it comes out this spring.

Summary: A Stand-Out Collection
Review: Best Lesbian Erotica 2001 is my favorite in the series (thus far). The majority of the submissions are imaginative and sexy. Stories of note include "Business Casual" by Lauren Sanders, "If You Can Make It There..." by A.J. Stone, and "Water Music" by Elspeth Potter. The story, "Monica and Me" by Rachel Bussel, is a sexy seduction of a certain infamous Monica and another surprising gem in this collection.

Review: Every taste seems to be covered in this book. It was fun to simply open the book and pick a new story...you don't know where you will be led but most of the stories take you to a new and fun place your mind dares not to admit.

Summary: Excellent, diversified reading...

Summary: Another worthy addition to any erotica collection
Review: Firstly the cover! Stunning and hot -- something to admire, much better than last year's dreary cover. Inside, there's a diverse collection of well-written stories. My personal tastes lean to the vanilla, so the stand out story for me was the first one, the quirky, humorous and barely-there erotic "Loved It and Set It Free" by Lisa Archer...Other personal favorites were the quietly contemplative "Breathing Water" by Bethany Harvey, the warmandatmospheric "A Tangle of Vines" by Cheyenne Blue, and another friends-into-lovers story, "Paisley Comes Back" by Kyle Walker. It is a mark of good writing when stories that might otherwise not excite you rank high on the favorite list. There were many BDSM stories in this anthology: "Penny Laid" by Kristina Wright and "Does She Look Like a Boy" by Tara-Michelle Ziniuk were excellent, and despite my personal pecadillos, I found them as arousing as any in the anthology... Of course, as with any anthology, there were a few stories I found mediocre, or not to my personal tastes, but they were few in this fine collection. Diverse, sexy, intelligent, well-written (yes, definately well written and these writers are not merely excellent *erotica* writers, the majority of them are excellent *writers*, period.), entertaining,...arousing, unusual and a fixture on my bedside table. Five Stars!

Review: Got my new BLE book, I swear I can still smell the press on it!
It's already been broken in... Great new writers combined with the always pleasant return of tthe usual Best Lesbian Erotica suspects and I'm set for at least another 6 months. I wish Tristan and her gang could pump out two a year, but until then I'll just keep flipping the pages and enjoying every moment...
This one has promises of greatness - and the best cover art I've seen yet. yum...

Summary: Not so great!
Review: I am a huge fan of the Lesbian Erotica series but this one is crap. The stories are not very creative, and either seem too rushed or full of extra filler crap.Plus they do not hit that point to get me aroused. Most importantly there not very interesting. Every year Best Lesbian Erotica leaves me breathless with the profound way the stories are assembled. This on is not so great, maybe the editors will get it right next year.

Review: I enjoy these books. I have them starting in '98. In all of the books, I feel I get my monies worth, BUT there always writings in each book that I do not enjoy. The eclectic collection has something for everyone, so you are sure to enjoy some of what you read IF not all. I recommend the collection for Lesbian Erotic fans. I hope you enjoy.
