Black Erotica at its best!

This book is one of the best erotica books I've evr read. It's so graphic and detailed. It's itelligent, witty and powerful. The stories have kept me interested for days. I really appreciate the variety as well!

Wonderful!

I have read several erotica anthologies and this by far is the best. The range of authors and stories are wonderful. The stories are not tacky, but erotic without being disgusting. I loved the different authors who contributed to this anthology because you got to read something different from their usual writing styles. The stories will make you think, laugh, cry and smile a secret smile. I loved the Eric Jerome Dickey story and Lolita Files has me looking and thinking about roses differently after reading her tale. All the stories are worthwhile reads and I commend Retha Powers on her ability to pull together stories so diverse and well written.

totally hot

I just finished reading this whole book nonstop and it is so hot, I mean it is the best erotica I've read and I read a lot. Brown Sugar was okay but the writers in this anthology are really edgy and vivid and the range is great, everything from women lovers in Amsterdam to internet stuff (my two favorite stories). The editor did a very good job in choosing stories that flow well together and bringing a high level of quality to a field (erotica) that often can be downright tacky. This book reaches a whole new level of sensual writing, whether you're black, white or whatever. I just hope there will be a Volume 2.
