Best Lesbian Erotica 2013

by Kathleen Warnock (Editor), Jewelle Gomez (Foreword), Kirsty Logan

Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is about the trembling pleasure of anticipation as much as the moment when sex actually happens. Curated by Lammy nominee, Kathleen Warnock, Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is as diverse as it is delectable- unlikely pairings appear as do sizzling hot one-time encounters and well-developed characters in well-developed relationships. Lesbians meet, sometimes fall in love, have a break up or two but always have lots of intensely great sex. Raw, romantic and always unforgettable, Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 will test your erotic boundaries and take you over the edge and into a world where fantasies become reality. Lesbian literary icon Jewelle Gomez (The Gilda Stories) returns to the series she helped put at the forefront of erotica. Gomez, who selected the stories for the 1997 edition of Best Lesbian Erotica, has returned once again to pluck the jewels of the best lesbian erotica around. In the words of editor Kathleen Warnock, "expect the unexpected."

[Rena · Rating 4 out of 5]

Though some pieces didn't come all the way together, Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is a good collection of stories. The passion was felt. I would rate it more than 3.5, but almost 4.

[Root · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read the entire anthology while killing time in my pride center's library and I've never felt closer to my true form.

[Donna · Rating 2 out of 5]

I only liked a select few of the stories from this anthology, half or even less. It had a lot of kinks in it that I don't care for.

Article first published as Book Review: Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 edited by Kathleen Warnock on Blogcritics.

Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is a popular series edited by Kathleen Warnock and contains the year's hottest and best lesbian erotica. The 2013 edition has stories from such names as Amelia Thornton, Maggie Morton, Andrea Dale, Tenille Brown, Valerie Alexander and many more.

As with all anthologies, some stories are better than others. There isn't a bad one amongst this set, it's just that I preferred some of them to others - it's a personal thing. Needless to say, though, nestling between this book is some serious hot Sapphic action. The stories are different, quirky, exciting and sensual. I like the fact that the women are different ages, colours and shapes. A couple of my particular favourite stories from this collection are Cucumbers and Cream and Winner Take All.

A varied anthology with stellar writing examples, Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is a must buy for those looking for some hot f/f fiction - there's something for everyone in here.

omg these stories were hot. as always, the middle stories were the most erotic to me.

[Mel Mel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as good as previous editions. The stories seemed shorter somehow. But, "I Have a Thing for Butches" was my favourite.

[Fariha · Rating 1 out of 5]

Read a few stories, didn't like it enough to read the whole thing.
