Tristan Taormino, the biggest name in lesbian erotica, picks 25 tales of lesbian desire to send the mercury soaring. Lust, love, strip down, strap-on — it’s all here. As always, Taormino sets the standard for lesbian erotic writing with stories that entertain, surprise, and arouse. Lighter in tone than Taormino’s other collections, these stories get right to the good part. Contributors include Rakelle Valencia, Skian McGuire, Maria Helena Dolan, Cheyenne Blue, L. Shane Conner, and Jean Roberta.

Hot Lesbian Erotica, edited by Tristan Taormino has a nice selection of hot erotic shorts. Some well-known names amongst the steamy contributions are Cheyenne Blue, Sacchi Green, Jean Roberta and Fiona Zedde.
There is something for everyone, but I found there was a higher percentage of daddy stories in this anthology (not really my thing). Also two bull-dykes going at it in a dirty porta potty is a hard no for me.
A month's bedtime reading. None bad, some totally hot, the vast majority with a very light dom/sub them (most getting all butch/femme with it) that got just a wee bit tiring. I'm really into the way lesbian and feminist erotica uses action verbs to describe cunts eating up, enveloping, sucking in, or whatever great agency-centered thing it is cunts and people with cunts do when hungry and wanting it. Fun. Had to give this back to M. More please.
5 stars. Not a flop to be seen in this collection! I fucking loved this. Every story hit for me so it was extremely difficult to pick out favorites but the stands out to me were:
-‘Waterbaby’ by Elaine Miller -’Salt’ by Skain McGuire -‘Casual Acquaintances’ by ViolyntFemme -‘She, Daddy’ by Michelle Walsh -‘Game, Set, and Match’ by Cheyenne Blue -‘Morality Tail’ by Fiona Zedde
All of those were my favorites but again I loved everything in this collection which doesn’t happen with me and anthologies. This was fantastic from start to finish.
