Fourteen short stories – Each one distinctly different and each one enticing in its own way, there is only one common thread through all of these stories – Sex, lots and lots of sex.

These stories of gay, erotica, passion, paranormal, horror and love truly have something for everyone. A diversity of settings; an enchanted forest, a haunted hotel, a beach, a gay bar, as well as the Canadian Midwest among others, take you on a trip around the world within these pages.

1. The Lady of the Moon, the longest story in the collection shows a brother and sister the passions that can be found in their enchanted world.
2. A Little Knowledge is a story about two women one older than the other and their odd yet playful relationship.
3. Slippery When Wet is a lesbian fantasy about a shape shifting snake woman and her search for love – and sustenance..
4. Moonbeam is about a one night stand between a man who wants nothing to tie him down and a woman looking for – well stalking for- commitment.
5. The Hungry Earth is the story of a man and his male lover that end up facing an ancient evil in the Canadian Midwest.
6. Eros and Psyche is about a lesbian who falls for a mysterious secret admirer who signs the name Eros and takes her on a wonderful journey of passion.
7. Leavings is a story about a bisexual woman who returns to her ex-girlfriend after her male lover leaves her and the rather surprising welcome she receives.
8. Alejandro is about a young woman who agrees to a series of no strings attached encounters with a male political refugee.
9. Century Red is about a female prostitute who outwits a stingy male customer in a most interesting way.
10. Kol Nidre is set in the 1930’s and is about a woman seduced by a brother and sister in their family hotel.
11. Taste is a fantasy story about a woman’s encounter with a male gargoyle who opens her eyes to a world previously unseen.
12. Update is a contemporary story about a bisexual woman who reunites with a former classmate after many years.
13. When Less Is More is a contemporary story about a man and a woman and their slightly master/submissive encounters.
14. Queremos is a story about a young man’s meeting his hero, an acclaimed male author, and the passion they share.

Of the fourteen stories in this collection I found The Lady of the Moon, Slippery When Wet, Leavings and Kol Nidre and to be my personal favorites.

All of the stories were well written and with so much variety I am sure there is something is these pages to make any reader happy. All in all an enjoyable read if you are looking for more sex than substance.
