Tracy’s review of Passion: Erotic Romance for Women
Love and sex have always been intimately intertwined, and Passionshows just how well the two can merge. This collection of steamy stories combines rich and explicit imagery with tales of classic love, letting the best writers of erotic romance bring to life tales that can be read aloud in bed. From long lost lovers reunited to love at first sight to romance rekindled, Passion’s succulent stories quicken heartbeats and appeal to everyone, from the least to the most romantic of souls.
This book is an anthology of 20 short stories about women and passion in a variety of different forms. While most were appealing there were some that I wasn’t quite enamored with for varying reasons. I guess that’s normally how it is with most anthologies that have so many different stories at least for me there are always some I like better than others. Here are a few that really caught my eye:
Dear in the Headlights by Angela Caperton – This was the story of a married couple who were workaholics. Due to their busy schedule they hadn’t had sex in 5 months! Yeah, a damned long time for a married pair. Unfortunately the very sexy date night that the wife has planned gets stalled when the husband runs his car off the road while swerving to miss a something in the road. Well the wife isn’t willing to have all her fun ruined so she decides to take her plan on the road – straight to her husband who’s waiting for the auto club. A very sweet sexy read.
Contentions by Isabelle Gray – This was a humorous yet incredibly hot story about a married couple who are both lawyers. We get to see the two as they meet and how Drake decides that he’s not giving up the fight for her, even when Alicia is determined to keep him at arms length. Being a lawyer there isn’t anything Alicia won’t argue about. A great little story that put a smile on my face.
No Risk, No Reward by Saskia Walker – Girl meets boy while boy is on vacation and they spend weeks together. But boy needs to continue on and though girl thinks she’s ready to let him go, she’s really not. She takes a risk and the reward is the best. Very charming story and of course – hot as well.
Overall a good book to read when you want some short stories filled with lots of sex but romance as well.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Thank you for this review I have never read an anthology of erotic books or short stories. Very interesting concept.
