I reviewed this for January 2013 over at Erotica Revealed.
I first bumped into Rachel Kramer Bussel with her story in Frat Boys, and have since run into her stories or edited anthologies enough times to realize that I adore her. She has a fresh take on any theme she approaches, and so when I was given Only You for my January review, I breathed a sigh of prescient contentment. I was sure a great book was ahead.
After reading the introduction, I knew my intuition was going to be spot-on. One of the things I loved about Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Suite Encounters was how the stories selected told stories throughout such a range of people in a variety of places in their lives – coupled, single, older, younger – and I loved that – as a whole – the anthology was one that touched a larger range of themes than I’d ever expected.
Angela Caperton’s “Driven” begins the anthology, and deftly drops a parallel metaphorical start of a new relationship just ready to turn into something hot and ready. If you’ve got the remotest fantasy of enjoying a car ride in a more carnal sense, “Driven” will be right up your alley. I also loved that this story opened up the anthology with a couple that aren’t in their early twenties – this is an anthology for couples, and placing “Driven” first delivers the message that this will not be an endless parade of youth.
Similarly, “Forgotten Bodies” by Giselle Renarde touches upon the changes that come with age, and how we can disconnect from ourselves as we feel time’s pull – but how a reconnection can come with exploration (and maybe a nicely timed spanking).
Startlingly unique was “The Love We Make” by Kristina Wright. It has an edgy roughness to it that might take many readers aback, but I adored this story. The narrator here is fighting with the desire to be slapped by Paul, her boyfriend, and to discover if he wants to slap her. There’s a real deftness to this one, and it tells one of the more rare tales I’ve read.
“Married” by Abigail Grey is a mid-life tale, where jobs and comfortable clothing and Netflix have replaced the silk and lace and hot, sweaty nights. But a forgotten instant messaging system pings back to life, and Jane realizes that those long-ago days of exploration are still there for the conjuring. I loved this story.
Cassanda Carr’s “Saved” is the penultimate story in the anthology, and steers the reader towards the close with a perfect note. This is a relationship where a wife has realized her borders are widening – thanks to a generous helping of BDSM erotic romance novels – and now she is making the riskiest move – asking her husband to make some of these fantasies come true.
And finally Rachel Kramer Bussel brings us home with “For the Very First Time.” A clever story about the first time a couple are going to have sex, this story – of a woman in her forties and a young musician – has deft layers. Moving through the various steps that lead toward various “firsts” between the two is a kind of sexy joy, and has that fluidity of role and gender that I’ve grown to love from Kramer Bussel’s tales.
All in all, you will not find Only You remotely stale – the sex scalds, but the stories aren’t just sexy, they’re fully formed, richly descriptive relationship stories as well. I haven’t mentioned every story, but none were “duds.” The arrangement is purposeful and the progression from tale to tale was just shy of perfection. I was already a lover of Rachel Kramer Bussel’s tales and anthologies, as I mentioned before – but I fear I need to upgrade that to adoration. Hopefully she won’t mind.

Not for me.
I either need a good story (this book has no “story”, no “plot”.)
Or I need femdom kinkyness.
This book is just… well.. exactly as advertised 🤭 erotica for women.
So, this is my bad for not being into it.
If u r looking for regular women erotica… here ya go.
I am just not into that.

Much better than the usual Rachel Kramer Bussel compilations. Too many of her compilations are intended to check every "identity" box.

I found this collection of short stories to be totally enjoyable. I can’t say that there was any that I truly didn’t like. Maybe you would like to find romance again. Or maybe rekindle that fading romance. You just may find some pointers within the pages of these fabulous stories.
One of the things I liked most about these stories is the fact that they were about your average everyday type of people. People like you and me. Another thing that I noticed is that it showed you that you don’t have to be in your 20’s or 30’s. Romance or eroticism isn’t just for the young. It doesn’t have an age limit on it.
Within these stories there is something that you may find interesting and able to fit into your own romantic, hot and steamy nights.
Some of my favorites from the anthology included Mom’s Night Out, Slow Fire, Forgotten Bodies, Autumn Rain and Matters of the Heart. I was able to get behind and relate to these women. They were real. But truthfully I really enjoyed them all.
So grab the ideas and add a little spice back into your bedroom. You won’t be disappointed. This is also a great read aloud set of stories also…just an idea.

This is a great collection of erotic short stories. There's a lot of variety and writing styles and just enough of a story to leave you longing for more. There were several, if not almost all of them that I wished were just a tad bit longer, because I'm just greedy like that.
