A perfect Valentine gift for your sweetheart !, Feb 13 2009
By E. B. MULLIGAN "Bronwyn" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best Lesbian Romance 2009 (Paperback)
This is such a fabulous selection of stories I had to make myself read only one or two at a time to totally savour them all.A huge variety of stories: a first date after a three year relationship ends; a snowstorm in Provincetown; friends since college find love right in front of them; yearnings set on a horse ranch; a 37 year old leather shop owner taking care of a customer; power plays by a long term couple; College friends have a 25 year reunion; even the taming of a Werewolf!
'The Usual' is a delightful story set in a New York City diner; The fabulous 'Last Call' will tug at your heart; 'Absinthe' is a not to be missed story set in and around World War 2 France; 'In Flight' is set in a hawk rehab center; 'Eyes' is overlooking Baltimore Harbor; 'Sand Castle Queen' on the sands of Puerto Rico; 'Cuts' is a very sweet story; 'In Your Pocket' will make you warm all over; 'Purple Thumb' is funny and thoughtful; 'A Ghost of a Chance' has a bit of the supernatural; 'The Traveler' is set in Paris; 'Melange' about the worry when you don't hear from someone dear; ending with 'Music on the Wind' the utterly romantic set on a high seas cruise and a love for all time.
This is absolutely my favorite anthology from this publisher.

Red Hot Romance!
Scale the heights of emotion and the depths of desire with this collection of the very best lesbian romance writing of the year. Essential reading for anyone who cherishes the highly imaginative, the deeply sensual, and the very loving, this anthology is as remarkable for its great writing as it is for its exuberant sexiness.
In "Femme Fatale," Kathie Bergquist tells the story of a first date gone terribly wrong until it heads in exactly the right, delicious direction. For readers who have almost given up on ever falling in love, KI Thompson's "The Usual" illustrates that you never know when you might meet "the one." Other stories offer chance encounters, such as Olivia Presley's tempting tale, "The Traveler" and Ariel Graham's spooky sexy "A Ghost of a Chance." If variety is the spice of life, then this is the spiciest set of lesbian romance stories to date!

For Fans of LesFic Romance, Jan 23 2009
By Yvette Murray "The Sapphic Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best Lesbian Romance 2009 (Paperback)
This delightful potpourri of romantic adventures ranges from the poignant intimacy of discovering love and cherishing loved ones to erotic encounters involving sensuous leather play and steamy hot tub sex in the midst of a snowstorm. Radclyffe has assembled a remarkable collection of stories that carry the reader on a journey that tugs at the heartstrings, titillates, and blissfully explores the pleasures of Sapphic lovemaking. A first rate anthology for fans of LesFic romance!

Get to know new authors, May 15 2011
By Astrid - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Best Lesbian Romance 2009 (Paperback)
It's not often that I read short stories. I prefer long ones - the longer the better. But there is one thing about short stories that I really like. It gives me a change to discover an author that I hadn't known until now. With money being tight I refrain from buying a book by an unknown author. A collection of short stories gives me the chance to "try out" a new author for a relative small amount of money.All in all there are 21 short stories in this book. Some authors I already know like KI Thompson, Karin Kallmaker, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Jennifer Fulton, Sacchi Green and Radclyffe. Most of the others - well, never heard about them and sure haven't read anything written by them.
Want to know what my favorite stories were? "Absynthe" by Jennifer Fulton, "In flight" from Andrea Dale, "Purple Thumb" by Catherine Lundolff and "Music on the wind" by Radclyffe. The last one is short story about Graham and Anna from "Love's Melody Lost".
So, out of my four favorite stories are two by authors that were new to me. That alone was worth buying the book.
All in all I give the book four stars. The other stories weren't bad as well and I really enjoyed most of them.
