    5.0 out of 5 stars Very well crafted stories
    Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    An open mind is what you need to read these terrific crafted stories. I like how the author used his words without over doing it. Reading the first few stories made me think they could spice up a relationship if they needed to but as I'm writing this I also know it could make an individual stray to find other excitement. The author hits all parts of sexualized preference with stories for all to enjoy. For me the writing was perfect and I learned a lot. I also love the cover that sucked me in and having an open mind I would make sure this cover was seen in the open at my home, knowing they would be curious...Great job sir.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Steamy but intelligent erotic!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2014
    Format: Kindle
    A great collection of erotica themed short stories that explore a wide spectrum of sexuality and the sexual fantasies that we all have, though few seldom admit to. In several of the early stories the author achieves just the right balance between sensuality and explicit description needed to both entertain and, indeed, arouse the reader, but without the need of graphic over elaboration. In the later stories, the writing becomes much more gritty and explicit as the author leads and guides the reader into more extreme territory, but as always, the main emphasis remains the story itself. The themes covered range from the curiosity and first tentative explorations of same sex attraction, heterosexual role play, cross dressing and transgender sex, attraction to the `older' woman, voyeurism, as well as venturing into the world of BDSM and non-consensual sex, often combining several themes in the one story.

    Although right out of the world of sexual fantasy, these stories are for the most part an entirely believable and realistic portrayal of the nitty gritty of what goes on behind closed doors between consenting adults, and on occasion, the `not so' consensual. Whilst the central themes of this anthology are erotica and the varying shades of sexuality, the themes in each case are effortlessly woven into intriguing scenarios that hold the reader's attention irrespective of the subject matter. There are some good and amusing `twist in the tale' type endings, but unlike in the more conventional short story, the conclusions of these stories is often where the central character's adventures are really just beginning, allowing the reader's imagination to come into its own.

    Overall, this is an intriguing and fascinating insight and exploration into and of the complex world of human sexuality and fantasy, but more importantly though, they are thoroughly entertaining - erotic, most certainly, but there are also some great moments of comic humour, poetic justice, and unexpected twists. This is without doubt a niche genre, but the variety of themes and scenarios give this anthology an appeal beyond just fans of erotica, but for those particular fans, this is a real treat of intelligent, well written, story based tales of erotica, and in my opinion, ones that are head and shoulders above most other similarly themed novels and anthologies.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Shows why men shouldn't write lesbian erotica...

    Wasn't keen on this. It had a lot of "licking lips" and cliches that made me cringe in my seat. Nevertheless it was an honest attempt at erotica and it wasn't a horrible book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Cold Shower Not Included
    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2015
    Format: Kindle
    As someone who's led a rather unexciting life, sexually speaking, it's a treat to sometimes step well outside my comfort zone and read fictional stories about, shall we say, the more adventurous side of sex. Sometimes it can be beautiful, sometimes it can be silly, sometimes it can be nasty, and sometimes it can be just plain WEIRD. And, in the hands of Tom Benson, it can be all these things at once.

    The main problem with trying to give one rating to a collection of short stories is that, invariably, there will be some stories that entertain you or resonate with you more than others. There's a kind of perverse pleasure that I, and I'm sure, many readers get when diving into a world that we're all too stuck-up or tight-assed (in the metaphorical sense) to explore, and I will also admit, there were a few stories in this book that not only pushed my own personal envelope but tore right through it.

    I'd like to think I have an open mind, which is why I truly appreciate any story if it's well written. And Tom Benson's stories, whether they leave you cold or make you want to take a cold shower, are very well written.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very good indeed!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2014
    Format: Kindle
    It is not everyone who can write stories of this kind, and write them well. For example, I certainly could not. I would be too inhibited. Too reluctant to allow any reader to glimpse the secret lust and passion of my inner mind, my feelings of physical desire at the deepest level.
    Tom Benson, however, is cut from a different cloth. All the more remarkable when you gaze upon his benign and friendly visage which gives the impression that butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. Not only does he have the required imagination, but he also has the required willingness to bare his inner self, right down to the impassioned breaths of his very soul. And this is how he differs from other writers who attempt this genre—with them it is usually a case of painting by numbers, calculatingly saying what they believe will sell their book, dredging up every bit of smut they’ve ever read or heard. With Tom Benson it is different, you can feel he is right there when it is happening, that what he is saying is also what he is feeling, that he has let loose his considerable descriptive powers into an area of his inner self which is very private, very personal. And this is why it sounds good to the reader. It is genuinely how he feels, and you can take it or leave it. It is not something manufactured for profit.
    And to write so well, particularly about the intimacy between two women—well, as a writer who also writes for women I have to say that I am very impressed indeed, even though I do not write in this particular genre. These stories will titillate. They will excite. They will stimulate. They will take you to places where lesser mortals like me fear to tread. Now, what higher praise can I give than that!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent and thrilling
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 29, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Erotica is a genre I'm not used to reading and so was both apprehensive and excited to try it but discovered this book was so much more than expected. I was pleasantly surprised; the writing was intelligent and the dialogue appropriate for the style of each story. I enjoyed the plot of each short story and all of the characters were totally believable. It's this combination that makes the erotica aspects of the story work so well; I don't think I would have read past the first story if it had just been about sex.

    With the variety of sexual situations covered in this book, there is bound to be a story to appeal to everyone's secret perversions and push boundaries beyond the comfort zone. Those fantasies we dare not voice are featured here for you to indulge in safely and privately. As a woman, some stories I found salacious and titillating, while others were a fascinating insight into male sexual desires. All were a great read and provoked a variety of strong emotions.

    Personally I would enjoy the first story being written into a full length novel most of all. The second story made me extremely uncomfortable but provoked the strongest emotions; I can imagine this providing an amazing plot line for a novel.

    This is the type of book you don't want to admit to enjoying, but secretly do. I look forward to reading more by this author and have already downloaded several. Just shows you should never judge a book by its genre but it does take a talented writer to do erotica well!

    An excellent collection of shorts from Tom Benson. The genre is not to everyones taste and it is new to me. I was, at first, dubious about putting up a review but I decided not to be prudish! I really enjoyed the stories and how the fantasies played out. Frolicking between the sheets, he's that want to be she's, and role play, just to mention a few.
    All types of sexual fantasies are written in such a way that I didn't find anything offensive. I put this down to the author's ability to be concise and informative. His short stories give you a beginning, middle and an end, a must when detailing and story-telling.in such a concise manner.

    This is not the usual genre I read but I'd read this author's book of short stories, 'Smoke and Mirrors', which I'd really enjoyed, so I thought I'd try this one. Each story is well written and edited and has a discernible plot. Some stories were a bit dark, e.g. 'In for a stretch'. This was in fact my favourite, with a strong female lead and a good story.
    I'll certainly be reading more of this author's work.
