This is a book that interests both partners. It cannot be put down. Totally down to earth and sexy with a well written and totally captivating verse.Certainly is captivating when taken as a new approach to totally feminine sex and love. I, as a male, was interested to the point where I prayed that the short stories were really true and not just good imagineation.A great buy at any price.

I bought this book because Tee A. Corinne in her anthology `The Body of Love' called it "hip, hot and fun" also saying the editor pushes "behavioral and perceptual boundaries".

From the back of the book - Sometimes intensely sexual, other times subtly romantic, these short stories celebrate lesbian desire in all its forms.

"Not only is the sex frank, but the general spirit is one of reckless adventure -- always good for vicarious thrills". - Voice Literary Supplement

Publisher's Note - Amidst our differences, all lesbians share one thing: a desire for women. Whether intensely sexual, or subtly romantic, this emotion is always incredibly powerful. These short stories celebrate lesbian desire in all its forms.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot collection with some strong narrators Aug 27 2006
By Eva Vandetuin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was most attracted to the stories in this collection that are narrated by working-class and/or butch women. These were a pleasant contrast to some of the more lyrical, femme-femme stories, whose sentimentality tended to leave me bored. The plain-talking narrators of _Bushfire_ -- including some women of color -- are by far the most memorable.

In general, I would recommend this collection for the diversity of its writing styles and points of view. My only real complaint is about one of the collection's running themes: the protagonist admires someone, wonders if she's into women, and then waits until the woman magically gropes or otherwise propositions her. We need more point-of-view lesbian characters who know how to be assertive!
