Review
"Woven into these pages are stories of new love, old loves, new passion and lots more besides." —Lesbians North London
"Radclyffe gives readers such a variety with her choices of stories that each reader will be able to find one that speaks to her and resonates with her feelings and experiences." —Lambda Literary Review
Praise for the previous edition:
"Packed with over two dozen utterly scintillating stories that will unlock your secret desires and whet your sexual appetite." —Insight Out Book Club
"The collection does a good job capturing the dizzying sensation of falling in love, and Radclyffe’s curating does a nice job slowly raising the heat to a culminating sizzle." —EDGE
"This is a collection to melt the hardest heart . . . All of these stories are real treasures." —Kissed by Venus
"I really cannot think of anyone better suited to edit this collection of lesbian romantic short stories. Radclyffe has done a wonderful job of selecting the 17 stories that make up this anthology. Every kind of love is here and there is something for everyone and every taste." —Amos Lassen
"In this sizzling new treasury, erotica maestro Radclyffe has assembled over two dozen titillating tales of lesbian couples taking each other to new heights of happily bedded bliss. Imagination and experimentation are the key that unlocks the hearts of these lesbian love stories and every kind of love you CAN imagine are told in stories redolent of romance, risk-taking, and, even gobsmackingly surprising true love. There are virgins, long-time companions, and very memorable one-night stands." —Erotica Readers and Writers Association
From the Back Cover
Radclyffe, the Best Lesbian Romance series legendary editor and a bestselling romance writer herself, says it best: “Love and romance may defy simple definition, but every story in this collection speaks to the universal thread that binds lovers everywhere—possibility.” In Radclyffe’s own “Staying Power,” a farm boi falls for an older, blond equestrienne at the horse ranch. A tryst with a gorgeous masked stranger at an “Exotic Masquerade” boosts the confidence and desire of a married couple in L.T. Marie’s charming and surprising tale. Seeing and being seen is the subject of Catherine Paulssen’s “Life Drawing,” in which a ravishing artist’s model turns looking into longing and perhaps something more. Heart-melting love stories from Cheyenne Blue, Andrea Dale, Charlotte Dare, Sacchi Green, Anna Meadows and more. These are tales to read and fall in love by, all year long.
