Let the Flames Devour You!

5.0 out of 5 stars

By Marina St. Clare

Alison Tyler is a firebrand! Her latest anthology, Playing with Fire, is sure to ignite a few burning desires. The 22 stories of "Taboo Erotica" are scorching -- more like a big blazing bonfire than a nice cozy fireplace. As always, Tyler has featured the hottest erotica writers, all hellbent on inflaming the reader's passions.

Here are just a few little sparks about a few of my favorites:

Sommer Marsden's "Fire Woman" - There's a fireman involved, too, who is good at following instructions.

P.S. Haven's "Out of the Frying Pan" - Getting even takes exactly seventeen minutes and thirty-seven seconds.

Jeremy Edwards' "Three on a Match" - He falls for another guy's girl, and she gets licked.

Kristina Wright's "Where There's Smoke" - He finds out about her, and then they find out some things about each other.

Andrea Dale's "Fanning the Flames" - The bodyguard is "silent and menacing and undeniably sexy."

Alison Tyler's own "Some Like It Hot" - She likes a good boy and a bad boy. Someone's gonna get burned.

M. Murphy's "Just Add Water" - It's good, clean fun -- but it's awfully steamy in that shower!

Perhaps my favorite in this collection is Teresa Noelle Roberts' "One Hundred Degress in the Shade." A violent thunderstorm finally breaks the heat. One of my favorite lines is, "Rain whipped sideways onto the porch, slicking our skin, cooling us enough so we could heat from lust." You can just feel the electricity!

All of the stories are hot, hot, hot! Keep an icy beverage or a fire extinguisher nearby as you read. You might just spontaniously combust!
