Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples

by Violet Blue (Editor)

The sales of books about sexual fantasy aimed at heterosexual couples prove how determined readers are to hold onto that erotic spark. But most of these books underestimate the literary refinement of their readers. Good Vibrations sex educator Violet Blue corrects that trend, showcasing imaginative, sophisticated stories to arouse and renew readers’ sexual explorations. Sweet Life collects 25 erotic tales guaranteed to inspire newlyweds and long-term partners alike.

Genres: Erotica, Short Stories, Fiction, Sexuality, Romance, Anthologies

201 pages, Paperback

This anthology came a decade before Violet Blue's similarly titled "Sweet Confessions: Erotic Fantasies for Couples", though isn't quite as strong in my view. It's still very good, with 21 well-written tales looking to highlight the variety of fantasies that can be shared by couples, it's just that "Sweet Life" had a few more of its stories based on kinks I don't tend to go for than "Sweet Confessions". That's always going to be a danger for collections that try to include a broad range of kinks - they're not all going please everyone. Nevertheless I particularly enjoyed stories from Ann Blakely, Charlotte Pope, Kristina Wright, Erica Dumas and PE Brink, and would very much recommend this collection overall.
