    <body><![CDATA[I'm trying to decide if this should be two or three stars.  I originally heard about this book on LJ and at an erotica panel at a convention.  There has been some controversy over the cover of the book and a number of bookstores have pulled it from the shelves.  The cover itself is actually rather nice. It isn't any more graphic (probably less) than most erotica novels - and it definitely gives an indication of what you will find inside. I think what you will find inside is what has caused the controversy.  F/F erotica.  I have no idea if the fact that all the stories involve women of colour (which I didn't realize out until halfway through the book *duh*... and found it a rather refreshing change)was also a factor. Regardless - I like the cover. <br/><br/>The contents ... didn't like as much as the cover. There are some good stories in the anthology - interesting, thoughtprovoking and yeah, hot. There are also quite a few stories that I found rather uneven both technically and stylisticly.  I wish that overall, the stories had been better. ]]></body>
