Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women
Edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel

Book Review by Rose B. Thorny

A good hostess always ensures two things: One, that her guests will leave satisfied, and two, that they'll hope to be invited back again…soon.

Rachel Kramer Bussel is better than good as your editor/hostess of this sizzling, fresh-off-the-grill anthology, and all her party guests bring their own special treats to the feast. Sample the best of the editor herself, plus Alison Tyler, Kristina Wright, Gwen Masters, Kate Dominic, Marilyn Jaye Lewis, Carol Queen, Maddy Stuart, and more.

Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women offers a sumptuous buffet of sensuous delights for the erotic palate; hot and spicy, warm and sweet, salty, tart, and just plain finger-lickin' good.

Dark "Dreams" turns up the heat and melts in your mouth. Biting into extra sharp "Cheesy Boots" will have you licking your lips. Suck on "Icy Hot" and let it dribble down your chin, but don't expect it to cool you off; it was written to keep you fevered.

"Bag and Baggage" is reassuring comfort food; you may not be able to go back for seconds, but the meal you have in front you now, will fill you as nothing else can.

Take time to sit back and digest the hidden flavours of "Opera Gloves" and "Just Another Girl On the Train." The exotic tang in "The Garden of Sinn" will leave you tingling. "Truck Stop Cinderella"—a down-home, tummy-patting diner meal.

Dirty Girls is food for your libido; twenty-seven savory dishes of het, lesbian, and gay erotica, hot vanilla and hotter kink. Relish it in small, sensuous nibbles, or binge until you tell your hostess you couldn't eat another thing, but, okay, if you insist…just one more bite.
