Some "Fast Girls" interspersed with yawns
This collection of erotica has some good stories, but stumbles and falls on too many of them. Although some selections are well written and sexy, there are too many amateurish writings in the book and the collection simply doesn't hold together with a unified theme.
It has some bright spots, but Bussel needs to choose the selections more carefully. An attempt to bring erotica into the mainstream which doesn't work out for either mainstream or erotic as a whole.

Follow-up commentary
4 months after original review
I like to re-read my erotica quite a bit. I have a number of books with well worn, dog eared paged, and special pages or stories marked to help me get in a mood or help me remember a past encounter.
However, this book does not fall into this category. I am sad to say it was a chore to get through the first time, the stories were too long, there wasn't enough sex, there was too much detail pertaining to things other than the sex. I don't want to go through the entire book again, just to find the few stories that were titillating enough to make it worth the work. If I want a lot of character development and plot, I read regular fiction. For erotica, I want sex, lots of it, and I want it early in the story, lot of sexual detail and nasty as can be. This book just didn't live up to my expectations and has not been re-read in much detail.
As I said before, the editing for this book should have been more carefully done, deleting or editing stories that drag, those that are cliche or those that just seem to not hit the mark of "erotica." (Which is a nice word for "written porn" in my book.)
I have plenty of books in my erotica collection which do live up to my expectations and give me what I want from a good collection. Sadly, this one has been left in the dust under my night stand, never to be re-opened after the second time I tried to drag my way through it. There are better collections out there, the few good stories in this collection are not worth the price from my high erotic/porn standards.
