A fire-eater, a voluptuous masseuse, and a naked game of tag in a forest at twilight — it could only be Best Lesbian Erotica 2007, the latest, boldest edition of the hottest lesbian erotica series in America. In Andrea Miller’s “Heavenly Bodies,” an adventurous woman sleeps her way through the zodiac, her twelve lovers including romantic Cancer, exhibitionist Leo, and an unforgettably raw, dominant Scorpio. Peggy Munson twists and teases the canon in “Subtexts,” a hardcore butch-femme re-imagining of Little Red Riding Hood, Moby-Dick, and other tales that already sound dirty. Edited by award-winning author, adult film director, and sex educator Tristan Taormino, and selected and introduced by Emma Donoghue, these fearless stories will stir your senses and test your erotic boundaries.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the stories in this book, very entertaining. Having read it a couple of times, I'd recommend this book to any Lesbian/Bi female who wants a good, sexy, read. I wish I still owned this book. I lost it during a move. :(
emma donoghue's introduction is priceless. that said, not the best erotica i've ever read, but i still can't find the one book that i hold all others in comparison to.
A collection of authors whose books on their own are a reader's paradise but in this book not so much. I didn't connect with the characters most of the time and the stories were often lacking the abilities to evoke emotions and captivating qualities that these writers respective books have.
This book is mostly sweet. I guess my biggest complaint is the one I have with almost all erotica, which is that most of the stories are too formulaic. I ask the impossible, I know. I am not really just talking about narrative structure, but the particular sex acts, or the drama of them. And I think tighter, more interesting backstories add that tension, but then I also hate all that clunky exposition. But most of them are hot enough. Although the story about the homeless punk with the crack-addicted girlfriend... I really don't get why that was included, it was about 3/4 sob story and 1/4 fucking. UNACCEPTABLE. We'll see how the last few are.
that was a great short stories erotica, I got to know new authors and stories that made me so horny...the one about the prom girl vs butch girl was HOT!!!!!
I love this book, I believe it will be one I read more than once, I recommend it to anyone who is Bi/Lesbian or even if you are not, as I am sure so many will still love it.
It is one the best manuals that should be used as a textbook for Sexual Education, In fact If I became a teacher I will stick around all the book that Tristan wrote during her Star shining. This lesbian things in fact reminds me of the sexual perversity the girls face during their adolescence, well in fact I recommend them to read this Manual since they want to enjoy their sexual life.
