I have had this on my kindle for a while. The first few stories left me cold so I shrugged my shoulders and archived it. Then a friend recommended Kristina Lloyd and I discovered there was a story by her in this collection, near the end. It's called Such a Special Couple. This story didn't so much leave me cold as chill me to the bone. It is brilliant. It's not the least bit erotic but it takes you into someone else's world with forensic accuracy. Kristina Lloyd is now at the top of my list of must-read authors. I'm not into bondage so I may be just Asking For Trouble but this could be the start of a wonderful new relationship that is definitely Darker Than Love.

Whenever you read a collection of short stories, no matter the genre, there are both good and bad ones depending on your own opinion. This collection of erotica is no different. I give it 3 1/2 stars.
