Synopses & Reviews
Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is about the trembling pleasure of anticipation as much as the moment when sex actually happens. Curated by Lammy nominee, Kathleen Warnock, Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is as diverse as it is delectable- unlikely pairings appear as do sizzling hot one-time encounters and well-developed characters in well-developed relationships. Lesbians meet, sometimes fall in love, have a break up or two but always have lots of intensely great sex. Raw, romantic and always unforgettable, Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 will test your erotic boundaries and take you over the edge and into a world where fantasies become reality. Lesbian literary icon Jewelle Gomez (The Gilda Stories) returns to the series she helped put at the forefront of erotica. Gomez, who selected the stories for the 1997 edition of Best Lesbian Erotica, has returned once again to pluck the jewels of the best lesbian erotica around. In the words of editor Kathleen Warnock, "expect the unexpected."
Review
"
Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is a high-calibre anthology of lesbian sex. It is, I feel, a must-read for erotic readers of any sexual orientation, as it shows clearly what sex writing can and should be like."
Cameron D James
"The stories in Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 are flowery, gritty, and powerful; female-centric and woman-positive. The selections are a thoughtful blend of realism and fantasy not so outrageous that readers cant find themselves in them, but grounded, earthy, erotic stories. The characters feel real, and if one of these women happened to crawl into bed beside you, or slide you a drink at the bar, you would consider yourself lucky, no matter what your sexual orientation."

Synopsis
Raw, Romantic and UnforgettableFrom the trembling pleasure of anticipation to consummated lust, sex between women has never been hotter. Curated by Lambda nominee Kathleen Warnock and judged by literary legend Jewelle Gomez, Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 is both surprising and intensely delectable.
Sonya Herzog's younger femme finds her heart's desire at a multiorgasmic writer's retreat in "I Have a Thing for Butches" and the tattoo artist in Nikki Adams's "Nothing If It Fades" holds on to an indelibly erotic memory of a beautiful woman she once inked, only to find her attraction was more than skin deep. A pretty new neighbor has a surprise or two up her costume sleeve when she turns out to be not-so-submissive in Amelia Thornton's "Kitty and the Cat." Test your erotic boundaries with Best Lesbian Erotica 2013 and let it take you over the edge into a world where fantasies become reality.
