Fun listen

If you could sum up Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1 in three words, what would they be?

fun sexy exciting

What was one of the most memorable moments of Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1?

I liked Starstruck, because I'm also a bit of a geek and the idea of meeting one of my favorite actors thrills me. I of course loved Tiffany Reisz's story, which takes the office romance to a whole new level.

What does Rose Caraway bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She makes me feel like I'm right there with the characters. I'm a listener of her podcast The Kiss Me Quicks and this felt like an extension of what she's doing there. I could listen to her all day.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I loved the sensuousness of the painting scene in A New Canvas. It was sexy and tender at the same time and gave me shivers. I also really loved Two Doms for Dinner. The author really made me understand what it's like to want to give up control in that way.

Sexy for guys too

Where does Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very high up.

What other book might you compare Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1 to and why?

Not sure since I don't read tons of erotica.

Which character – as performed by Rose Caraway – was your favorite?

The couple in Date Night. It was sexy and playful and made me feel like anything could happen. And the narrator in Enter Me. She made me appreciate being able to hear my wife's smallest noises all the more and the story was wonderfully drawn out with just the right amount of suspense and tension.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The Altar of Lamented Toys was poetic while also being sexy. Overall, though, I was intrigued by most of the women in these stories.

Any additional comments?

Sexy and definitely gave me some insight into what turns women on.

The Best Voice in the Genre!!

All right, I'll admit it, I'm a Rose Caraway fan.

In my opinion, no one does the narration of an erotic story better than Rose. I've been listening to her for years now, first on the Kiss Me Quick's and Sexy Librarian podcasts, then on her ever expanding catalog of audio books. Each one has been better than the last.

Rachel Kramer Bussel has edited many fine anthologies, and this is one of the finest I've ever read. The combination of these stories and Rose's voice makes for an unbeatable combination. I'm a guy, but I felt sucked right into these stories. They made my morning and evening commutes wonderful experiences.

sexy as hell!

Never let it be said that women are not just every bit as horny, filthy and erotic as any man. These stories are a treat to listen to, but if you're a prude or don't like explicit language, then this book isn't for you. Highly recommended!

Sexy

What was one of the most memorable moments of Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1?

The BDSM story Two Doms for Dinner. It was delicious! I really liked how all three of them were so into it and how much she wanted to please both doms.

What about Rose Caraway’s performance did you like?

She made everything sultry. She has a voice I could listen to any day.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It made me a little breathless at times. I liked that some stories were about strangers or friends hooking up and others were about couples exploring things. Made a good mix.

Any additional comments?

The ComicCon story was one of my favorites. So funny but also super sexy.

Lots of sexiness

If you could sum up Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1 in three words, what would they be?

fun surprising hot

What was one of the most memorable moments of Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1?

I got this book partly because I'm a big fan of Tiffany Reisz, and her story The Assistant was one of my favorites. I also liked the one about the seance and the sexy bodypainting. I liked almost all the stories, though some spoke to me more than others.

Have you listened to any of Rose Caraway’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I've heard many stories on her podcast and some of her other audiobooks. This is as good as any of them.

Any additional comments?

This one's a keeper!

Better Than Fifty Shades

What does Rose Caraway bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I got to close my eyes and listen to Rose's sensual voice.

Any additional comments?

I've read and listened to some erotica like Fifty Shades that struck me as a little too outlandish. This book has a good mix, from super funny stories to BDSM and threesomes and some that are slightly darker but also intriguing. I had to pause a few times because I was so aroused and even had my husband listen to some with me.

Arousing

What made the experience of listening to Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1 the most enjoyable?

Both the narrator's delivery and that the stories surprised me. I wasn't sure what was going to happen next.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The hot superhero actor in the Comiccon story. He was so sexy and I liked that he was this famous guy but also down to earth enough to treat his fan so well, not in an obnoxious macho way.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book aroused me, which doesn't always happen when I listen to erotica.

Any additional comments?

There are several stories here I'd love to see continued as I was drawn to the characters and wanted to know what happened next.
