A Is for Amour

Erotic Alphabet

by Alison Tyler (Editor)

A Is For Amour, B Is For Bondage, C Is For Co-Eds and D Is For Dress-Up kick off a new series from Alison Tyler and Cleis Press. From Amour to Zippers, this alphabetical extravaganza of erotic delights features 26 hot volumes of explicit, playful stories. 
A Is For Amour begins the series with arousing tales of desire from writers such as Saskia Walker and R. Gay. From Tsaurah Litzky’s “Sharing the Love,” about a risqué three-way between two partners and their long-time friend, to Le Petit Déjeuner by Jeremy Edwards, where love is blind enough to make Cleveland seem like Paris, these writers show why love makes the world go ’round.

Alison Tyler always curates the best and sexiest stories for the anthologies she edits. This is no different. There is always something for everyone. And now I want to get all the other letters of the alphabet! ;)

This series of books looked like a fun and playful read, and that's basically what I got out of them. "A is for Amour" is a collection of short stories focused on the realms of passion. Each story is different and should speak to a wide spectrum of readers. In terms of intensity I don't think any of the stories really go very extreme, but stay more on the "softer" side of things, if that makes any sense. This is sort of what one would expect from a book titled "A is for Amour".

It's an extremely quick read though. I think I managed to read everything in about an afternoon. The one quibble I have with it is the price. I'm still up in the air as to whether it really warranted the ten dollars I spent. Granted there were multiple writers involved and I enjoyed the stories, but at only 132 pages, I feel I get a lot more bang for my buck (no pun intended) out of a novel for 8 dollars.

I would say only pick this up if it really intrigues you. I don't think many readers would be overly disappointed with it, regardless of their passion, but if you think you'd get more out of a novel, that's where I'd go first.

This was a fun collection of short stories. These were well-chosen and fit perfectly into this little erotic collection. The majority are hetereo love-affairs, with BDSM to spice things up, but there are, surprisingly, at least one transexual/gay story. I look forward to reading the next letter of the alphabet.

In process of reading......short stories. 3/26/09..........Hmmm, not sure if I'm ever going to finish this book of short stories. I'll have to make more of an effort.
5/8/09 - I'm still going with this one. The last two were pretty good. For sure will finish now.
