Beware of positive reviews, Mar 7 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: His: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Him (Paperback)
Shoddy fiction, stories written in first person, present tense, none the least bit erotic. Written just for him, primarily by her, from you know who's viewpoint. No variation in tone, each story reads like the one you just finished, assuming you forced yourself to read more than two paragraphs. Few writers successfully pull of writing a book of erotic stories, certainly not the ones who attempted His. A male reader's time would be better spent reading, or re-reading, the classics of the genre -- The Pearl, My Secret Life, A Man with a Maid, My Life and Loves (Frank Harris). And anything by Anais Nin (Delta of Venus, Little Birds). Opus Pistorum (aka Under the Roofs of Paris) by Henry Miller is about as hot, and off track, as male fiction gets. His -- 30 Erotic Stories -- is as short on imagination as heat. Look elsewhere if you're into erotica, or think you might be.

Perfect Fantasy Fuel for Anyone..., Feb 1 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: His: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Him (Paperback)
This collection of 30 stories is written directly to a male reader and is filled with the sort of fantasies that would delight any guy. From the very start of the book ("Every Friday Night"), featuring a tantalizing threesome outdoors, all the way to "While She Was Dancing" (about doing a roommate's boyfriend, the stories are super-sexy, super-hot... just plain super. Even though the stories ARE written to a male "you", most women would enjoy them, as well. Even better, buy it for a boyfriend/husband/lover and read them out loud to him. The stories are from a girl to a boy, so it would work perfectly. However, I think you'll have to stop often, if you know what I mean. ;)

A hot collection of erotica by two masters, Feb 1 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: His: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Him (Paperback)
I found the stories in this book universally hot -- most of them are short, and easy to finish in one sitting whether you're with a lover or by yourself. Very hot scenarios, including such things as a college girl who dresses up in her roommates lingerie and ends up getting frisky with her boyfriend, a couple who makes love at the symphony, and a girl who likes to ... using, believe it or not, her washing machine. Lots of other fun stories, all with a light, playful and sexy tone.

Unique collection!, July 14 2005
By Caren Kellogg - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: His: 30 Erotic Tales Written Just for Him (Paperback)
I know this book is aimed at men, but I liked it enough to buy my own copy. First, I read "Hers," which is filled with stories for the ladies. Both books are written to the "you" of the reader, which seems to have confused some of the other reviewers. They stories are amazingly sexy and cover many different fetishes and genres. My favorite stories were "Every Friday Night" -- an outdoor threesome between two girls and a guy, "Two Dirty To Clean" -- which is a cheating story, "Paddle Brush" -- a spanking story (obviously!) and "All Access" about back stage at a rock concert. It's very easy to get inside the stories and to put yourself in the character's shoes.
