In Sleeping Beauty's Bed: Erotic Fairy Tales
This was not what I was hoping for when I ordered a book full of erotic fairy tales. That said, I have found it to be intriguing. It offers a new twist on traditional stories. If your looking for something with explicit language and is quite erotic this book probably won't satisfy. If you prefer having things more implied or if you are more interested in the history of fairy tales you will probably enjoy this book.
Pros
It was educational and thought provoking.
Cons
It wasn't arousing and used too many metaphors and euphemisms.

While this book is very informative for the fairy tale reader in me, it lacked eroticism. I honestly don't understand how it got onto Eden. This book has all your favorites and I promise you will learn more from the origin summary than you ever thought you would, but this book is definitely not masturbating material.
2 stars because I did learn so much about my favorite stories.
Pros
Fairy tale favorites, Origins of fairy tales
Cons
Not very erotic.

I am on the fence. I liked it but to me it is just not erotic enough. My husband liked it more for the educational info. I want a bit more descriptiveness in my stories. It is good for those who are just beginning to read erotica.
Pros
Easy to read, educational.
Cons
Not very erotic, educational.

In Sleeping Beauty's Bed by Mitzi Szereto is a wonderful of beloved fairy tales with an erotic twist thrown in. The author presents each protagonist as touchingly innocent and yet open to the bawdy, erotic adventure that befalls them. The language isn't raw, or graphic but still the reader is able to discern what is really going on.
Pros
Discreet cover, language isn't raw or pornographic, great historical time lines for each story.
Cons
Language may not appeal to everyone.

In Sleeping Beauty's Bed in a nice collection of eroticized fairy tales that just manage to miss the mark, somehow, and come off as quirky rather than sexy.
Pros
An intellectually stimulating collection of erotic fairy tales.
Cons
Only one author means that there is only one writing style to these stories.

Girls Who Bite
Girls Who Bite is lesbian erotica done right. Or it is the way that I like my erotica, strong women that are more than a bit dominate.

This is a pretty damn good anthology in my opinion. I loved that there was rough sex and BDSM in some stories, but it wasn't all of them, so if that isn't your thing you don't have to worry that it is the whole book. Every story but one had sex in it which was awesome. Too many books don't which irritates me.
Pros
A good mix of stories with very vanilla sex to BDSM and groups sex.
Cons
A few weird stories

I'm usually not a fan of lesbian f/f erotica but this anthology, I absolutely adored. The stories are diverse, well-written, and completely sensuous — hot, but still classy. I think those of you who don't usually read f/f erotica should try this one for something new!
Pros
Sensual vampires, Lesbian erotica lovers will enjoy
Cons
Racy cover

Nothing is hotter than vampires, except lesbian vampires. This book has something for everyone. It can help you find some new fantasies or role play scenarios to act out, or if you can hold a book and masturbate - Well, then... What more needs to be said?
Pros
Hot scenes, vampires, lesbians...What more could you want?
Cons
Too short, you may want more than what your left with.

Steamlust
Steamlust is very much like the old school victorian erotica that you can still find. The worlds are very rich, but the sex isn't my thing.

Lover's of erotic steampunk rejoice! Here is another example of how the genre seems to lend itself to the erotic. Honestly? Was there ever any doubt that when you combine Victoriana and machines that sex wouldn't be lurking just around the corner?
Pros
Well written
Exciting subject matter
beautiful cover art
Cons
None

I couldn't finish this book. If I read one more story about reunited lovers or unrequited love with a backdrop of steampunk, I was going to scream. I like my erotica just like my sex, rough and kinky. This is neither.
Pros
quality craftsmanship
Cons
Most stories have a lot of the same plot. Feels more like a romance book than erotica.
Rating:
Published:September 03, 2012
My only regret in Steamlust is that too many of the stories are too similar---all feature strong brilliant heroines whose hearts won't be confined by their corsets. If you don't mind romance with your erotica, exclusively male-female couplings, and a little more focus on the corsets than the cogs, this book will be fascinating. Even for the hardcore cog fans among us, Steamlust holds a lot to love, and there are stories worth reading for anyone who thinks steampunk is steamy.
Pros
Brass, steam and automata, brilliant women and courageous men, well-written character-based stories.
Cons
Not enough variety (all hetero, from female's perspective). More romancey than I like.
Rating:
Published:April 30, 2012
While reading through the forward my interest was piqued with one short sentence. In the opening of [italic|Sparks] by Anna Meadows, the heroine starts her story by saying, [bold|"I would have been the first to concede how much better things were for me back when I behaved myself."]
This was enough to ensure that I would read this anthology from cover to cover and not regret a moment of it.
Pros
well written, flows well, good variety from authors
Cons
mostly hetero which may turn some people off

Lesbian erotica can get repetitive and boring for me, mostly because I am not lesbian or even bi-sexual. This book, however, is more about the story than the sex and the sex is smoking hot!

Pros
Lots of hot guys and girls, depending on what you are into...

A lot of cussing and talking during the scenes, plus big time things such as choking.

The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty
While this book is occasionally boring or odd, the majority of this book is a sexy fairy tale. The only break you'll want from this book is when you find yourself needing both hands.
Pros
Better writing quality than most erotica, some really great scenes
Cons
Some really bad scenes (it's a book meant to be flipped through), a bit long-winded at times.
Rating:

This book is worth the read if you are into BDSM. However, I would not recommend this for beginner BDSMers because several of the scenes are pretty intense and may scare off those new to BDSM reads.
Pros
fast read, varied sex scenes, interesting characters, full plot
Cons
abrupt ending, main character is flighty, some sex scenes are intense

An essential bit of BDSM history, and a sumptuous treat in its own right. Taken as gothic erotic fantasy, The "Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" is a delectable treat that will leave you wanting more.

Cons
Wildly unrealistic premise/punishments (could also be a Pro)

What if Sleeping Beauty was given to her prince as a sex slave? If you read this, you'll find out. This extremely erotic book follows Beauty as she transforms into the perfect, obedient servant.

Some stories have a slight artistic flavor which make them interesting, but rarely reach any point of sexual tension. Others are obviously written by people who have no idea what their talking about or were written for some strange form of shock value that I don't understand.

Five Minute Erotica
This is the first literotica book I ever bought and was mine far before I had come across EF. What I've found since is that many of the literotica books take stories from a variety of authors and then compile them. Sometimes, the authors are not diverse enough, and sometimes, the stories are not diverse enough. This isn't what you'll find in Five Minute Erotica. The only drawback is the lack of appeal of this book to the LGBT community.
Pros
Male and Female Writers.
Many Experienced Writers.
Quickies.
Cons
Appeals mostly to heterosexual females (noted in Intro).
Also first-time writers/couples included.

Five Minute Erotica is a collection of short erotic stories that one can read when they do not have much time. There are 35 stories, so most will find something that interests them.

Cons

Rating:

If you're looking for short little snippets of sex and lust you might really enjoy this collection of stories. For me I find them to be best used as a tease to spark my interest and to then ponder about what maybe I think happened after the story ends or just start thinking about how that story might play out in real life. They're fun reads, they're incredibly sexy and might even spark a new fantasy for you.
Pros
short stories, variety,
Cons
could be too short for some to really enjoy

If your libido needs a quick pick-me-up, Five Minute Erotica with its varied and well written narratives may be the book for you. If you want longer stories with more plot and character development, or kink, this collection may not be your thing.
Pros
Dozens of stories in a variety of styles and themes in one professionally edited volume.
Cons
Plainly bound, fairly vanilla, may need to read several to be aroused, stories may be hit or miss.

Overall, I would say that this book is not worth it. the different authors are nice and mix things up, but they focus too much on building the world, not on the actual sexual action that each chapter should be full of. The odd wording, drawn out chapters, and always having to re-imagine a different world with each chapter is pretty hard to follow. In my opinion, find a book that has a coherent storyline, not one like this that is just so random.
Pros
Fantasy world based, different authors, long
Cons
boring, not enough action, can be hard to understand

I found this book of short stories sexy and totally worth the price. This compilation of "quickie" stories - most no more than a few pages, were concise and erotic. And while the sex described wasn't always as naughty as you'd expect from the title, most of the encounters were worth a second read - and then a third.
Pros
A sexy read, a well-compiled anthology of erotic fiction
Cons
More than half of these stories were not about "sudden" sex - instead just erotic fantasy

Frenzy is a good, easy read that requires very little time to enjoy a few stories in a pinch. It would entertain just about anyone interested in erotica from the shy beginner to the more experienced looking for a light, quick, thrill. The stories are well written and chosen. A lot of it was focused on exhibitionism and voyeurism but besides those, it was a fairly well varied collection. Overall, I may not have loved every story, but I liked the majority of them.

Lustfully Ever After is a well-written and imaginative collection of erotica based on classic fairy tales.

Irresistible erotic romance for couples
Not quite a new view on erotica and raunch, so much as a reminder of how easy it is to gain a fresh perspective... sometimes without doing more than simply being true to yourself.

Cons
A couple of stories let me down a little, but they may well become your favorites, so just enjoy....

The Irresistible Erotic Romance for Couples is a good book designed with a woman and her fantasies in mind. It is definitely for a woman in the respect that it is written for a women and not a couple like the title would suggest. This was one of the more interesting book i have read because the stories have different characters acting out different sexual fantasies in different situations. I wish there was more variety and more exotic exploration it it though. A good book though.
