Summary: not worth your time
Review: I had a lot of hope for this book, and with the second story, "Eating Out at Cafe Z", I thought the book was living up to my expectations. However, it's all downhill from there, and there's about 25 stories in all. Talk about disappointing. The fourth story, "Merry Christmas, Katherine" was also quite good. Unfortunately, with fetish stories like "Picking up Daddy" and pretentious drudgery like "Le Main", the book is not even worth a second glance. Pass on by.

Summary: Electric as in electrifyingly good!
Review: I've only read a few of the stories in this collection so far, but I just had to share with others how good and well written they are. Be warned however that less than a handful of the stories are printed in other lesbian anthologies. So, if you are looking for a collection of beautifully written lesbian smut or just some quick reads, then this is for you! This book will warm you up from the inside out ;)

Summary: An edgy, potent collection of Alyson's best lesbian erotica.
Review: One French babe. Two German vixens. A mean stripper. A no-nonsense card shark named Johnny. A Daddy with a unique approach to parenting. A luscious professor with an awesome grading system. A splendidly naughty cast of characters with enough hot plots and intrigue to make even Shakespeare break into a sweat! That's what you'll find in this collection of Alyson's best lesbian erotic fiction of the past ten years. Electric. The 24 stories in this book breathe electricity-and I'm not talking Amana, KitchenAid, or Maytag. Just what makes a sexual encounter electric? Ask any of the eager women in these stories, and you won't have the strength to ask again. Ask Neny from "Disco Nights," and she'll spread out a meal that'll have you coming back for seconds-and thirds and fourths. Ask Windy Sands from "Cactus Love," and she'll get her Arizona trailer rockin' (so don't come a knockin') in no time. Ask a certain daring stone butch, and she'll turn the white walls of "The Ladies Room" a blushing pink. How about dunkin' your donut with Sally and Sonny ("Me and My Appetite") in the Macy's dressing room? Follow the sexpot's lead in "Hot Wheels," and do a solo rev in the front seat of your sun-baked car. Learn to make beautiful music with a sexy camper, and you'll no longer be "The Festival Virgin." These aren't just the best stories-they're the steamiest, spiciest, loveliest, sizzlingest, and funnest. Including such respected and talented writers as Lucy Jane Bledsoe, Wendy Caster, Linnea Due, Bonnie J. Morris, Lesléa Newman, Jess Wells, Mariana Romo-Carmona, and Robin Sweeney, this volume is a welcome-make that sensational-addition to any self-respecting erotica connoisseur's well-thumbed collection. So, put on the Luther Vandross, dig those candles out of the junk drawer, make yourself comfortable, and get ready for the best-because the best is yet to come.

Summary: not worth your time
Review: This book had its moments--especially in the beginning. However, the quality of the stories really diminished as the book went on. Some of the stories were so dull I was barely able to force my way through them, but there were a few that were really excellent. This book is all about sex for the most part, which is fine, but often the whole story is so poorly written that I have trouble getting into the fun stuff. :) What especially bugged me was the number of stories written in 2nd person ("you walk through the room...") These were the worst of the lot, but as I said before, there are some really wonderful, sexy stories that start out this book. It is worth reading, though don't expect to be blown out of the water. The last few stories especially seemed very amaturish.
