All About Romance

Rachel Kramer Bussel has again put together a fantastic anthology in Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 8. This year’s organizing theme is Play. Playing music, role play, sex games, and cyborgs allow authors to play with play.

Cannonball Read

Sweet, sexy, fun, and inclusive. A perfect read.

Adriana Anders, award-winning author of Kink Camp

The stories in Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 8 are teasing fun, sometimes funny, and also poignant. Each author paints a vivid picture of the many ways sex can enhance and define a relationship; whether that relationship is only for a night, reigniting after a separation, or on a different planet altogether. Highly recommend!

Katrina Jackson, author of Office Hours and Beautiful & Dirty
