Best Women's Erotica #erotic Anthology @BWEoftheyear

Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Vol. 1, edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel releases January 12^th!!!

Get ready to discover a new collection of steamy stories to stir up your sexual fantasies. Twenty-two HOT and creative stories by very talented authors. I truly enjoy these collections because I discover so many unique and cleverly written kinky stories. Some authors I recognize and others are ‘new’ to me. At least new in the sense that I haven’t read them before, but by the quality of their writing, I’m sure they’ve been established in this genre for many years. To those who think erotica is just a string of sex scenes, you’re wrong. Check out this book to see what I mean. The stories in this book are thought provoking, entertaining and have a number of surprises. Oh yes, and they're deliciously arousing too!

Rachel Kramer Bussel is one of my favorite authors/editors who I know will select exceptional stories for the anthology. I’m always amazed and never disappointed.

BLURB: Here is everything you want and more! Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Vol. 1 delivers risky, romantic, heart-pounding thrills. Joyful, daring, and authentic, these 22 steamy stories revel in erotic adventure, from the sparks between strangers to the knowing caresses of longtime lovers. Women learn “The Ropes,” get “Starstruck” and dine with “Two Doms for Dinner.” Penned by beloved authors such as L. Marie Adeline and Tiffany Reisz and newcomers to the genre, these sexy encounters will give you plenty of fantasy fodder to last all year long.

Rachel Kramer Bussel regularly contributes to Salon, Refinery29, Glamour, and Cosmopolitan, and hosts erotica readings around the country. A prolific erotica editor, her titles include Come Again, Spanked, He’s on Top, She’s on Top, Passion, and Do Not Disturb. She lives in New Jersey. http://www.rachelkramerbussel.com/

BDSM Erotica and Erotic Romance. 

Who Should I Read First?

BDSM erotica and erotic romance is really HOT now and has been since 50 Shades of Grey came out over a year ago. Actually, BDSM fiction has been around for a very long time and there are many amazing authors. Thank you, EL James for bringing new readers to this genre. Maybe you aren't new to this genre and you have several favorite authors on your auto-buy or auto-download list. My dream is that someday I’ll be added to your list.

When 50 Shades came out, EVERYONE decided to pound out a BDSM story on their keyboard or three or eight and toss it up on the internet for sale, then turn them into multi-book series. Don’t get me wrong, some of those books are fabulous. I've listed a few below. However, some are not so good. While others, as always, is a matter of personal taste.

Sooo, where do you start when you’re looking for good BDSM erotica and erotic romance, but have no idea where to start? Here’s my list: (And this is by far only a small sample of great books out there. I’m sure you’ll have a number of others to add that I missed. These were selected by me and an author friend who is an avid reader in this genre. I’m sure I have read some and missed a few. And I have tons on my NOOK I haven't had a chance to read yet. These are not in any particular order.
