What a great collection of short erotic stories! You can easily read these on your commute to work (by public transit, of course), waiting in line at the grocery store, or whenever you have a spare fifteen minutes. Too often, women feel ashamed, embarrassed, or guilty about the topic of sex. What I like about CONSENTING ADULTS--besides how much of a turn-on the word “yes” can be--is that it focuses on real women being empowered. Every story is strongly written, but a standout is “The Adventures of Sasquatch.” Definitely recommended for women readers, but guys may want to take a page from this book and aspire to emulate the desirable male characters presented here. This is the first erotica I've read, so I can't comment on the relative hotness of the sex as it relates to other workin the genre - although it seemed plenty hot to me - but what I can say is that Lopez can make you interested in a character in just a few sentences. The people are the stars here, more than the sex, and it makes every one of the short stories a page-turner. You will care about these people.Something else I appreciated was the excellent editing and writing craft on display here. I didn't catch a single typo and there weren't any WTF sentences to try to untangle. A writer who treats her reader with such respect brings that same attitude to the stories themselves, and each is a finely crafted gem.Overall, as many of the characters in Consenting Adults say - Yes, Yes, Yes!
What do You think about Consenting Adults (2000)?
Just because it's short stories ( basically ) but, there were some very hot scenes.
