Best Gay Erotica 2007

You get used to being interrupted around the Blowfishie office (or “tank” as we like to call it). I’m used to having to stop mid-sentence while I’m reading a book for review to pick up the ringing phone or give the toy-buyer my opinion on what color butt-toy y’all would like the best (I said purple, but she went with red anyway, so if you don’t like the color of this week’s new butt-plug, hey, I tried). But while I was reading Best Gay Erotica 2007 it was so darn good that I had a really hard time not glaring when I was interrupted. I think I might have snarled at the toy-buyer once (sorry about that, Bekah!). I finally gave up and took this saucy little book home, locked myself in the bedroom, shutting out both my husband and my whiny cats so I could devour the rest of this gem in peace.

It’s really quite deserving of the title of “Best”, as every single story is well-written, with interesting characters, fascinating settings and meaningful plots. And, as much as I like to skip ahead to the sex scenes once I’ve read a story through, I really appreciate getting to know the people whose hot sex scene I’m reading about. It just makes it that much hotter when I’m emotionally invested in the bodies pounding away on the page. This book has everything from unexpected flings to tender coming-of-age explorations between good friends in a hayloft. There’s even a short graphic story, for those of you who like a little visual mixed in with your text. Overall, one of the best collections of erotica — gay, straight, bi, lesbian or other — that I’ve read in quite some time.
