About this title

Review:

Another steamy installment in the annual series of lesbian erotica, this year's volume boasts a dazzling array of sexual styles and encounters, from exhibitionism to drag to dominance, in public, in prison, in all-male bath houses (?!), with custom toys, costumes, and covert arrangements. In an anthology of this nature, even the dullest of stories have their purposes, but a surprising number of the tales included here are well written and inventive. One of the best moments is from Peggy Munson's "Meeting Halfway," in which a couple makes love while a cooking show plays in the background on the television ("The inside should be tender and pink," the chef advises). Other highlights include the oaths invented by the narrator of Cecilia Tan's "Three of Cups" to appease her goddess-worshipping girlfriend ("Satan take my bicycle!") and the unplanned antics of an electronic dildo in Skian McGuire's "Remote Control." A collection to grace a girl's bedside. With a lively foreword by Tristan Taormino on the sexual state of the Union. --Regina Marler
