Sexy, smart and literate... Best Women's Erotica 2006 delivers the year's hottest bedside reading.

Under the stylish editorship of Violet Blue, Best Women's Erotica 2006 offers risky, authentic stories that linger in memory like slippery, hot afternoon sex.

Sydney Beier's "Reading to Horst" is a paean to possibility: an American woman living in Germany has a languorous encounter with a tourist who asks her to read aloud to him from Anaïs Nin's Little Birds. In Alison Tyler's "Four on the Floor," a pair of lovers hunt for and conquer other couples. And Elizabeth Coldwell's "Heat" describes the fierce affair between a barmaid and her brutish temporary boss: a man she doesn't even like but who sets her heart pounding.
