Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for providing me with an earc
While I think the idea of multiple stories focussing on sex is a good idea I just thought execution wasn't all that. I liked the diversity but with that there is also the problem that a lot of stories were bordering on fetishzation.
I think the story between the two lesbian couples and them having sex together was my favorite, but I was pretty underwhelmed by most of the others.

I won't lie, this book took me a while to finish, and it was just okay. There are multiple short spicy stories within this book, and some were honestly not that good. Though I will say, I enjoyed the representation throughout the stories! The book overall will keep you entertained depending on your interests, so I think it is worth a read.

This book was well written, very inclusive and I liked that it was a collection of short stories. However, this book could have benefited from being a bit shorter as it really did began to drag and the stories all blended into one towards the end. I'm still really happy that I read this though, as you never get any non binary representation, especially AFAB (assigned female at birth), let alone in sexual contexts.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books, Inc. for the digital galley of this book.
This book of short stories is sure to leave you hot under the collar, and there’s something for everyone, from encounters in an empty theater, an ice fishing hut, a sex club, a remote hot spring. There are opposites attract, paranormal encounters, genderqueer characters, and more. You’re sure to find more than one story that resonates with you.
This book took me forever to read, merely because I left it by my bedside and picked it up now and again to read the next story. I thoroughly enjoyed it, loved the variety of characters, troupes, and settings. Every time I opened it for a new story, I got a completely different reading experience. Definitely recommend to add to your short story collections.
Quite disappointed in this. This was rife with fetishization, racism, and uncomfortable comments on gender. I skimmed most of the stories once I got to an inappropriate comment in each one. A shame.
