Erotic romance. Sexy. Well-written. With actual plotlines!!! And I wasn't crushed by the weight of the words cock, cunt, and pussy either! Compared to most of the tacky shit that is cranked out nowadays, the stories in this collection show how erotica should be written, in my opinion. My faves from the book: 'Masquerade', 'Wake Me', and 'White Heat'. 4.5 stars!
