Customer Reviews

Very interesting reading.

This book is not what the title implies. I had heard of Daphne and saw this book so I thought what the hell. This is a very deep book. It takes a look at not only the sex life, but the life of a writer. Very interesting ART, not Smut. If you are looking for graphic sex, this is not the book. If you are looking to be entertained and fascinated by a very fascinating woman; this is your book.

As I understand it this anthology was put together after Daphne discovered herself starring in someone else's story in a book called Best American Erotica. As she states in the foreword of this book "In some story, some girl with my name is doing nasty things to some boy and the whole world can read it. With one hand, if they want." How can you not be intrigued by that statement? So she gathered a group of 29 writers and let them each tell their 'story' in this a kiss and tell book all about Daphne. With 29 authors, 29 stories and only 260 pages, that makes some of these stories extremely short in length, but I didn't find any of them lacking. Like in most anthologies there were stories that I enjoyed far more than others, but on a whole I thought this collections was pretty darn good. This book touches on many different subjects along with various sexcapades about hers truly. From graveyard romps, school girl sexual exploration/experimentation, strippers, bondage bunnies, lesbian and straight sex, there is no shortage of content. I found myself amazed at the uniqueness of each tale; each story contained a different Daphne. While there were always some similarities in her appearance each author managed to bring a little something more to the personality of the Daphne they wrote about. A small sample of my favorites: Dear Rachel, Please Read by Bucky Sinister - a humorous story told in the form of a letter from a man to his girlfriend - explaining in detail all the rumors she heard about him shagging Daphne were untrue. The Meow by Justin Chin - a Daphne tale told to us by her cat, Moshpit. I though it was a clever story about how he protects her and guards her dreams. What Daphne Thinks About In Bed by T.R. Moss - A story that centers on Daphne's solo lovin' and the fantasies she conjures in the process. This isn't a book I could sit down and read from cover to cover, it is something that I picked up now and then and read a few stories at a time. There was maybe only one story I didn't care for out of the entire collection, the rest I either liked or really liked. It was interesting, to say the least, and while I am not sure how I stumbled upon this book, I am glad that I did. Daphne and her writer pals have created a very distinctive and pleasurable read.
