This was a real pleasure to read. I found all the stories very exciting and I am reading it for my second time. The Author gives great detail and really keeps your interest. One of the hottest, erotic books I have read to date. All ready bragging about this one to my friends.

Honestly I really didn't care for 'Quiver'. It took me several weeks to finish it because I had to keep pushing myself to finish it. I had won this book through a giveaway here on goodreads and if I hadn't felt obligated to finish and then review it I may not have finished it at all. I was excited to read it but as I made my way through the first few stories I found myself disappointed. A lot of the stories didn't really capture my interest and I found one extremely boring.

The writing in this was so distant and clinical. Everything, to me, read like the scene-setting notes in a play, just describing attributes and action without any emotional involvement or narrative richness and with virtually no dialogue to give characters depth beyond what the point-of-view character observed. I'm sure this kind of thing works for others, but it was not my cup of tea at all.
As far as erotica goes the book gives what it promises. I liked the format of the short stories, especially the last one where some of the characters from the other stories come together in a new story.
Here's the thing- human sexuality is complicated. People have different preferences and proclivities, which is why a lot of books of erotic fiction are genre specific. Quiver is not.
That said, I thought the stories had good character development and were definitely well-written, explicit, and sexy. Just know that every story might not be to your particular taste.

Erotic short stories that are intertwined with each other. Either by person or a fleeting reference.

“I had made the fatal mistake of believing in his touch, as if the intelligence of his hands, our orgasms, the way he penetrated me, had affected him as much as it had affected me. Perhaps this is the catch cry of the egoist: I love, therefore I must be loved. Perhaps it is the Achilles' heel of my gender.”
