Sexy stories

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

Very high. Most of the others I've listened to have been novels and these are short stories but they hold up just as well.

Any additional comments?

These are hot without being gratuitous. Some I saw myself in the characters and others were pure fantasy. Some of my favorites were the painting story, the seance, the double doms (what a wonderful one), and the spanking one, which had a great twist and the woman clearly enjoyed every smack.

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.

More please

What did you love best about Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1?

That even though there are a lot of stories, they all kept my interest. Some I liked more than others but all of them had me imagining exactly what I'd do in those scenarios. I liked that these seemed like real people, sometimes exploring fantasies like submission or domination, or just sex with someone new and exciting. The settings seemed true to life, even the seance, not artificial. I am hooked and look forward to hearing more like this.

Great listen

Would you listen to Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1 again? Why?

Yes, because it turned me on and made me think about my own fantasies.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The lesbian couple in the carnalarium. I had no idea where this story was going but I adored it. Also the chemistry between Ivy and Jack and Lennon in Tiffany Reisz's story. Wowza, what a threesome!

Any additional comments?

I liked that these stories don't skimp on the details but aren't just a clinical play by play. Lots of sensuality along with hot sex.

Liked it

Would you listen to Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 1 again? Why?

I'd listen again when I'm in the mood.

What did you like best about this story?

Each had its own flavor and style of storytelling. I liked that there were single women and those with partners and different types of relationships and types of sex, from open marriage to kink to old friends reconnecting.

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

Two Doms for Dinner was hot from start to finish. That's the one I've listened to the most.

Women who love to get it on

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

I laughed occasionally but mainly I was just absorbed by the stories.

Any additional comments?

It was so great to hear about women who don't feel shame around sex and go after what they want. Sometimes someone goes after them but they are fully in control. Even in the kinky stories like the woman getting spanked in the police station or the one with two doms, they are very clearly submissive women who are getting what they want too. That's the thing I appreciated most about these stories. I could sink into the fantasies because the women were ultimately controlling them and indulging their basest impulses with people who respect them. Super hot and I look forward to hearing more from many of these authors.

Fun

Really fun to listen with your partner. Some of the stories are surreal but still fun to listen.

Title lives up to the name!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this to anyone. A great variety of stories, All well written, Sexy and perfectly brought to life with excellent narration from Rose Caraway.

Which scene was your favorite?

The party scenes in " The Assistant" by Tiffany Reisz

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

Several were particularly "moving" got my heart racing and blood flowing for sure.

Any additional comments?

Rachel Kramer Bussel has really brought together some very talented ladies who know how to write quality erotic stories. And with the narration from Rose Caraway this is pretty much the perfect erotica anthology.

Very much worth the purchase or use of a credit.

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.

Listened as a couple

Any additional comments?

Even though this is labeled as women's erotica, I listened with my boyfriend and we both liked it a lot. These stories had all sorts of sexy adventures and gave us lots of ideas. I recommend listening with a partner if you have one or on your own. We listened to a few at a time, sometimes just one, to help us get in the mood and inspire our own bedroom talk.
