Cleis Press is, without a doubt, my favorite erotica publisher. I mean, they do a lot more than just sexy stories, but when I’m in the mood for some titillating stories, I always head over to their website to see what’s new.

One of my recent reads is Violet Blue’s Best Women’s Erotica 2009. In it, she’s compiled an amazing collection of hot tales that are sure to provide you with plenty of inspiration!

The Best Women’s Erotica ’09 is contemporary, realistic and explicit. Editor and best-selling author, Violet Blue knows what women are looking for in an erotic anthology. She delivers it here, with an amorous abundance of risky, romantic and heart-pounding thrills. Joyful, daring, and authentic, these steamy stories revel in erotic adventure, from the sparks between strangers to the knowing caresses of long-time lovers.

Filled with strong characters and clever narratives that show how sexual experience is different for every woman, this seductive anthology is a glorious celebration of the finest and friskiest female erotic fiction today.
