From Publishers Weekly:

Slung's second anthology of erotica written by women (Slow Hand was the first) embraces diversity-in age and sexual preference-and celebrates desire in many forms. While most tales are concerned with heterosexual love, many passions are explored, from Elizabeth Clarke's lustily defiant "Queer"-a chronicle of a love affair's beginning, narrated by a multiply-pierced, bisexual stripper-to Marion Callen's sly, seemingly demure "An Honest Transaction," about the ladylike but wildly successful seduction mounted by tea-sipping Mavis. In "Lilith," Francine Falk describes the highly charged relationship between two women, conducted almost entirely over the telephone, while the thoroughly Westernized Indian heroine of Nazneen Sheikh's "Polishing My Skin" allows herself to be sensually transformed during a traditional pre-marriage ritual. This pleasing collection reaffirms the joyous notion that love and lust come in a delectable variety of forms. BOMC and QPB alternates.

From Library Journal:

The 18 original stories on passion, desire, and lust in this anthology have very little in common with one another except for the basic theme of desire and some of the physical acts depicted. Passion can ignite between two people in so many ways and be expressed in so many ways, and this book presents only a few of the possibilities. Thus, an inmate and his girlfriend eke out the smallest bit of privacy in "Valentine's Day in Jail." For the two women in "Lilith," the anonymity of sex over the telephone is safe and exciting. Mixing lesbian and heterosexual content, ages and cultures, these stories are often funny, tender, and well written, but of course not all of them will appeal to every reader. Slung edited a previous collection of erotic stories by women entitled Slow Hand (Harper Collins, 1992). Public libraries with medium to large fiction collections will want to add this title.
