Afterglow: More Stories of Lesbian Desire

Rating:
Summary: A good start
Review: "AfterGlow" is, so far, the hottest book I've read of Lesbian love and lust. The stories were, for the most part, Hot and Heavy!!! I enjoyed every minute of reading the compassionate and ,sometimes, heartbreaking stories so much, I read three-fourths of the book in two hours. To those who haven't experienced the pleasure in reading this book, you are missing some mind-opening stories."Telefon" is just one of the stories in the book that will leave you aching to do something spontaneous!

Summary: A good start
Review: For those new to the wonderful world of Lesbian Erotica (i capitalize this because it is so important), this is a good beginning. From the first breathless pages to the last, it covers a lot of the wonderful territory that is lesbian love and sex. I just hope the rest of the world can accept this sort of sexuality as just as marvelous, hot, wild, amazing, and lovely as socially accepted heterosexuality. I think this book would certainly help the world to move in that direction. PS: keep this on your nightstand for sure! it's great for getting last-minute ideas before you climb into bed with your sweetie. :)

Summary: Oops! Wrong book :(
Review: I read the A+ review of Cris Newport's new erotica collection in The Brilliant Review. It said the name of the collection was Afterglow: Exotica. I quickly snapped up this book only to find it wasn't the right one -- I was looking for "1001 Nights: Exotica." I read Afterglow, though, and found it did not stand up to my expectations. Many of the stories seemed cliched. I wanted something "crackling with energy" (a quote from TBR) but Afterglow fell a little short of crackle.

Summary: Not very interesting
Review: While there are some arousing parts to some of these stories, most of them just aren't very interesting. Some of the stories don't make much sense and the characters are silly. If you're looking for some erotica, it's sprinkled here and there, but, if you're looking for good writing and engaging stories, forget this book.
