In the office, on the set of a movie or on the bathroom floor, the ladies in this anthology don’t care where they get it on. Power play, first time encounters and office rivalry get the characters in these twelve stories so riled up, the only way to go is down and dirty. Tales of spanking, a wild all-female college party and a waitress with a strap-on grace the pages of Ladylit’s first multi-author lesbian erotica anthology.
Caution: Reading ‘Anything She Wants’ will make you wet!

This has to be one of my favorite erotic anthologies I've read so far. Harper Bliss is a well known name when it comes to erotic fiction and I also begin to recognize other writers of quality like Erzabet Bishop, Laila Blake (one of my favorite erotica authors!) and Lucy Felthouse. They are all in here and their contributions to this anthology are fabulous.
One author deserves a special mention and that is Vanessa de Sade. Her story The Dress is one of the best i've read. It made me scour the interwebs for anything else this woman might have written. I wanted it all! It was not easy because she's not very prolific, but I managed to get my hands on a few more stories.
So all in all I can only recomend you get this book, if only to get acquainted with Vanessa de Sade (but ALL stories are great quality, don't worry).
5 red hot stars from me (and Book Club buddy D. who is still fanning herself ;-)
Cliche by Kay Jaybee was an excellent short story. I hope that is an indicator of what I can expect for the rest of the stories in this anthology. The Corner Chair by Laila Blake was so dam erotic and sexy I think I need to go smoke a cigarette... and there isn't even any sex in this story! Loving the Lady by Lucy Felthouse was fabulous! So far I am loving this anthology. Hooked by Erzabet Bishop was just a fun... and erotic story. I was smiling throughout the entire story. I love Carly, she is an awesome character. Oh My God! I made the mistake of reading Blurring the Boundary by Sarah Ellen while at work. If I were a woman, I might be able to get away with reading something so HOT at work, but as a man that has the very real potential for creating an embarrassing situation. Great story! Steps by L.C. Spoering is good, but I am a hopeless romantic and there is really nothing romantic about this story. Still worth a read though. The Dress by Vanessa de Sade was a nice story. Worth a read. Behind Closed Doors by Kelly Lawrence was a very good story that was fun to read. WOW!! Debbie Does Dalhousie by Giselle Renarde was incredible! What an excellent sexy short story. Vee's Notebook by Alyssa Linn Palmer was perfect for an old hopeless romantic like me. What a wonderful story. Safer Places by Ariel Graham is a wonderful but sad story. I don't want to spoil it by saying any more about it, but as sad as it is it is still well worth reading! Last but definitely not least was Alphas by Harper Bliss. What an awesome way to finish the amazing anthology. I have loved every story that Harper has written and this one didn't disappoint although as with some of the other Harper Bliss stories I wish it would go on a bit longer. Not that it feels incomplete, but because I enjoyed it so much I just wanted it to continue. Bottom line is that there is not one bad story in this anthology. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire book. Thanks again Harper for putting together a wonderful anthology. :)

Why I chose this book?
I was gifted this book as a wedding Present by a dear friend.
What I liked about this book.
* OMG wow, so many hot stories. * The corner chair, Hooked, Steps, the dress and Alphas all really stood out to me. * All the stories worked so well and each delivered a short hot burst of story telling.
Omg I can't believe how well some of these women can write. I loved it. Every story was unique and drew me in. The only bad thing ill say is I felt a few stories could have been abit longer. The stories were good and well written but once the finished I just wished that it was longer so I could have stayed in that particular world a little longer. I feel hooked could be made bigger and into a stand alone. God that story made me laugh.
Well this was a very.... fun read. 😂 Anything she wants is a collection of short lesbian erotica stories, it's a very quick and sexy read. I found some stories to be better then the other and some I didn't like at all. There are none that particularly stuck with me as something wow, but that's maybe because the thing I love about erotica is the build up before all the smutty stuff... and, well, there's no build up here, everyone's fucking on page 2 of the story.
But I enjoyed this collection nonetheless, it was a quick, light read, that made my summer vacation and time at the beach even hotter.
3 stars. This was mostly a dud of a collection for me. I don’t know, a lot of the stories were just not hitting and some of them were just straight up bizarre and felt out of place. The only ones that I did like were ‘Loving the Lady’ by Lucy Felthouse, ‘Safer Places’ by Ariel Graham (easily the best of the collection), and ‘Alphas’ by Harper Bliss. For those three I’m giving this three stars because they were really good everything else was a mix between okay and wtf.
I wish I could rate the individual stories instead of this book as a whole because while some were decent (though none were pulitzer prizeworthy), some were real stinkers and a waste of my time! Thank goodness they were all short stories so the pain and suffering to get through them didn't last too long...
These were basically a way for me to get in a quick read when my daily streak was at risk and I couldn’t dive into my full novel reading. Some of the stories are better than others of course, but none were bad enough to skip. Hopefully I’ll find a 5 start version of this kind of collection. I did enjoy the quick resolution of each smutty moment.
Different stories from different story tellers. Intense and sexy scenes from a easy to read book without any complicated characters. A book for a lazy rainy afternoon. But mainly an opportunity to learn about new writers and start following them.
I forgot how much I don't really like anthologies. I prefer stories that stay with you for a while. These were all short and sweet (or rather not very sweet in a very good way), but not really my thing. (Is this the last anthology I will ever read, no for sure not)
Love the stories of erotica! All are different but sexy and HOT!! I think if you've never read erotica, this is a good start. If you usually read it, this is right up your alley!
I'm finished with Anything She Wants: I have read and rated all of Harper Bliss books. Not sure why they keep showing up as not read and rated. They are all great reads.
This anthology runs the gambit of emotions. From profound, thoughtful and a bit sad with Ariel Graham's Safer Places to just hot and sexy power play with Harper Bliss' Alphas. All 12 stories are steamy and sultry

Steps - L.C. Spoering I had forgotten how fun a night at the club can be!!
The Dress - Vanessa de Sade A first time with a bbw
Behind Closed Doors - Kelly Lawrence A maid and her mistress, not quite so prim and proper.
Debbie Does Dalhousie - Giselle Renarde Naughty mom romps with three co-eds
Vee’s Notebook - Alyssa Linn Palmer A love story between a younger woman and an older one
Safer Places - Ariel Graham cop and her partner...very touching!!! Feels so honest and true and just so painful and good...

I don't know why i picked this book and wasted my time reading 100 pages. Maybe it was my first anthology in erotic genre, but the stories were just like watching porn. Maybe is shouldn't read anything related to lesbian ever. It was like someome watched a porn video and wrote it down. Ugh!! Not ever again.
