Bussel serves up blistering-hot desire in this excellent addition to the annual anthology series. While geared specifically to women, there’s a little something for everyone here, with a variety of genres and fetishes and a diverse array of characters. This sizzling volume is sure to wow erotica lovers. -- Publishers Weekly

"The Best Women's Erotica of the Year Volume 7 anthology delivers heat and heart on every page. The authors showcase a range of stories that titillate the imagination and wrap the reader in a warm embrace. This collection is spectacular with a diversity of stories coalescing into a read that will leave you breathless." -- Denise Williams, author of How to Fail at Flirting

"The anthology of my erotic dreams! This collection is perfectly assembled and has everything from a woman with synesthesia who creates erotic art to lion shifters to negotiating peace treaties with other planets. Each of these masters of the craft delivers on the promise of surprise and I couldn't put it down. I braced myself for each new story and was left breathless every single time." -- Bree Hill, co-host of The Categorically Romance Podcast

Angelina M. Lopez

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Angelina M. Lopez wrote "arthur" when her kindergarten teacher asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. In the years since she learned to spell the word correctly, she's been a journalist for an acclaimed city newspaper, a freelance magazine writer, and a content marketer for small businesses. Finally she found her way back to "author."
Angelina writes sexy stories about strong women and the worthy men. The fact that her parents own a vineyard in California’s Russian River Valley might imply a certain hedonism about her; it's absolutely true. Once the dog dies, she and her husband plan on being footloose-and-fancy-free empty nesters in Houston, Texas.
Her first book in a new high-heat, small town, Latinx series, After Hours on Milagro Street, was named a best romance of 2022 by The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, and the Fated Mates podcast, and an Amazon Best Book of the Month. Her debut book, Lush Money, was named a Top 10 Romance Debut of 2020.
You can find more about her at her website, AngelinaMLopez.com and at @AngelinaMLo on Instagram and AuthorAngelinaMLopez on TikTok.

If you're not reading erotica by women -- you're missing out!
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2022
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This is my 3rd or 4th Best Women's Erotica by RBK, and I now tell all my friends if they aren't reading (or watching) erotic lit or p*** created by women...they are missing out. The theme of this issue is "Surprise" and my favorite part of reading these collections is to see how the writers work in the theme, and this one is definitely full of surprises. Each story is different and none of them are predictable, and the order somehow is perfect? There's a mix of artsy, sci-fi, classic erotica, threesomes, edging, etc. I took a break in reading for like a week thinking I had only gotten through a few stories, when I definitely had read half of the anthology in two nights! Good thing there's a whole other half for me to enjoy!

I think my favorite story in this one is "Sealing the Treaty" it's a wild sci-fi ride with a lot of edging involved, and I really *enjoyed* reading it. "B*tch" and "Phosophorous" are runners up because they were REALLY HOT and had some badass women in charge.

An eclectic mix of seductive stories that caters to every fantasy
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2022
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
They say that variety is the spice of life, and this collection is definitely spicy! I've found that with a lot of erotic fiction, it's the same true and tired plot over and over and over again. These stories breathe new life into the genre and there's definitely something for everyone. The two stories that did it for me were "Dripping" and "The Two of Us." Though wildly different, both achieved the same end result -- leaving me hot and definitely wanting more. The writers give you just enough insight into the characters and plot so you can insert them into your own fantasies while allowing your imagination to run amok. If you're looking for some fresh fantasies, scoop up this book now!

So Hot! A Fantastic Read.
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2022
Format: KindleVerified Purchase
Country Music, a threesome in a movie theater, and a gravity defying brothel. These are just a few of the fantastic of the stories I found in Best Women Erotica Volume 7. Due to the Pandemic, a lot of my other reading lately has felt a little lack luster, however, it boosted my spirits to see such a fantastic new collection of Erotica that popped of the page. This may be my favorite in the series.

A thoughtful and inclusive collection
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2021
Format: Kindle
You can trust that Rachel Kramer Bussel is going to put together a good anthology. Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 7 is thoughtful with a wide range of stories. I don’t expect to like every story in an anthology, and erotica is tougher because it taps into a place that can be rawly personal. When Kramer Bussel puts an anthology together, I know I will at least appreciate most of the stories.

My only complaint about the book is one I frequently have about e-arcs. The formatting was wonky (please, publishers, please make sure your e-arcs a formatted correctly). In this case, the text was broken up so that the whole book read as long form, modernist, deconstructed poetry. I am generally pretty good at ignoring odd formatting, but in this case it kept my brain engaged on an intellectual level that distracts from descending into the primal brain. So, initially I thought that I hadn’t enjoyed this collection as much as I did last year’s. But every time I went back to look at a story as I was drafting this review, I would remember that I really did like the stories quite a lot.

The theme this year is Surprise. Everyone understood the assignment.

Angelina M. Lopez’s “Hot Pockets” was one of the standouts. A married couple has to work to find pockets of time for passion. A number of the stories involve established couples doing something that alters their dynamic, whether that’s finding a new way to meet needs, adding a third, or reigniting passion after a long illness. In Corrina Lawson’s “Wicked Ride” a couple with psychic abilities experiments with using their mental powers to explore sex joyfully and safely.

In some stories relationships take a surprising turn, in others, there is no expectation of a relationship. I particularly enjoyed “Gravity” by Gwendolyn J. Bean, where the surprise is the world itself. I really appreciated the range of women who explored their sexual desires and were the objects of desire.

Reading anything that stretches the boundaries of polite cis het sex feels like a political act. Culturally, we seem to taking a turn back towards the puritanical. I am not in favor. I am feeling more comfortable in my relationship with erotica now that I better understand my relationship to attraction and desire (I identify as aro-ace). Though it might seem counter intuitive, reading the way a lot of different kinds of people imagine romantic and sexual relationships has allowed me to know myself.

I can’t guarantee that you will like all or any of the stories in Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 7, but I can guarantee they were chosen thoughtfully.

I received this as an advance reader copy from NetGalley and Cleis Press. My opinions are my own.

I've read plenty of erotica and wasn't sure if these stories would really live up to surprising me, but they sure did. The ones I liked best also surprised me, since they aren't things I normally go for. My favorites were Hot Pockets, which as a parent I could really relate to struggling to find time, and Puzzle, which was a lot of fun and like a sweeter Magic Mike.

Sexy surprises!
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2021
Format: Paperback
It’s time for another delicious grab-bag of stories under the BWE umbrella, and this time the theme is “surprise”! There are definitely some sexy surprises here, of all kinds (but all pleasant, of course!). I quite enjoyed most everything, although one (‘Ohana) confused me a bit at first as it involves shapeshifting lion men, and without any explanation of this it started off sounding kinda bestiality-ish, ha. There is a lot of originality here - everything from a world where gravity shifts unexpectedly every so often to a genderqueer Old West saloon romp. Couples find ways to surprise each other that are both sweet (a harried married couple rekindling their sexual spark) and hot (explorations of femdom inclinations). There are several nice threesomes as well! Overall I definitely enjoyed this collection, although maybe not as much as some of the others…still a very fun read!

Each time I read an anthology, I find a new author or reconnect with an author I have not read in a while. The seventh edition of Best Women's Erotica had some very notable pieces and while not each one was stellar there were enough good writing to even out the book. Of special note: Holley Trent and Lucy Eden brought their “A” game with unusually provocative and well-crafted stories.
I voluntarily read a copy of this book from Netgalley and this review is of my honest opinion
