This book of short stories is sure to leave you hot under the collar, and there’s something for everyone, from encounters in an empty theater, an ice fishing hut, a sex club, a remote hot spring. There are opposites attract, paranormal encounters, genderqueer characters, and more. You’re sure to find more than one story that resonates with you.

This book took me forever to read, merely because I left it by my bedside and picked it up now and again to read the next story. I thoroughly enjoyed it, loved the variety of characters, troupes, and settings. Every time I opened it for a new story, I got a completely different reading experience. Definitely recommend to add to your short story collections.

I'm not sure how to review a book that's full of multiple stories inside. I'm not sure you can. The book has plenty of stories to keep you entertained. Some are better than others, some are quite funny, more 'out there, one or two aren't that great, and there was one I skipped over.

What I do know is, this book isn't for reading when you are sat in a waiting room, waiting for an appointment.... a few may make you blush. If you find yourself with 5 to 10 minutes to spear, one of these stories will fill the time. This book is not my normal go-to-read story, but this time I fancied something slightly different and that is what I got.

I thought it was a decent collection of spicy short stories. I think with all short story collections, some were better than others.

simply good Erotica. This changed into the first e book by this creator i've read. The manner Raven Sky wrote this changed into quite thrilling. every segment had a one-of-a-kind that means and it become all about how those girls came to be together as fanatics for an evening or companions for an entire life. I preferred all the segments, however I specially preferred the ultimate a part of the ebook because it dealt more with how the women have become partners for life. more than one the tales have been about intercourse golf equipment others were about journeying and assembly people from distinctive cultures however every story become very erotic and horny. i'd probably not propose this to my own family participants however i'd sincerely advise this to my friends. I will be searching for what this creator writes and springs up with next.

I was excited to read this book and generally love the genre, but unfortunately I just could not get into most of the short stories. I found they weren't very engaging and found myself skimming very frequently. One component that I did love was that there was truly a variety of characters from different backgrounds - something that often isn't the case in this genre. For that alone I would give another Raven Sky book a chance. If you can check it out from the library and are looking for an easy read it might be worth trying.

A book of short stories so hard to review but worth it for dipping in and out of.

Some stories are better than others but they’re good examples of the genre and do exactly what you expect

A very intriguing and enticing book which hits all the criteria needed for a great read. I found it quite pleasing to read and fascinating with the subject matter within the novel itself, and the author is to be commended on the final product of their hard work. Well done.

Honestly there short stories were not what I expected them to be. Some of the stories were better than others, but overall I found that the stories were lacking and I often found myself skimming a few to get to the end. Normally I am a fan of all things sex (well mostly) and this just did not really hit a mark for me. Again a few of the stories were good so I will overall rate this 2.75 stars.

I won't lie, this book took me a while to finish, and it was just okay. There are multiple short spicy stories within this book, and some were honestly not that good. Though I will say, I enjoyed the representation throughout the stories! The book overall will keep you entertained depending on your interests, so I think it is worth a read.

I appreciated the diversity of characters and relationships within this collection of short stories but struggled to finish it. It's hard to develop characters and have proper story arcs in the short format but I thought the short stories in this anthology lacked context and plot. The writing was engaging but it was more like reading the author's inner musings rather than following any sort of narrative or storyline. It was well written but did not work for me.

I read this quickly… and honestly wasn’t impressed. I assumed even for short stories there would just be… I don’t know. More.

This book was simply not for me.

The way the book was set up I found myself getting mixed up and confused throughout the chapters. I ended up losing interest in it and never finished it .

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for providing me with an earc

While I think the idea of multiple stories focussing on sex is a good idea I just thought execution wasn't all that. I liked the diversity but with that there is also the problem that a lot of stories were bordering on fetishzation.

I think the story between the two lesbian couples and them having sex together was my favorite, but I was pretty underwhelmed by most of the others.

I couldn't for the life of me get into this. I only read three short stories and I was disappointed in all of them. I don't have any more to say on this, so I'll just leave it at that.

I was receieved an e-arc by NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

It is always quite a struggle to review a collection of different stories reunited in groups with a common theme, but I'll try.
Desiring more by raven Sky is an interesting collection of short stories (some shorter than others) where the main theme are queer people and empowerment gained mainly through sexual encounters (with other people or with themselves). Sex is still a taboo in many countries and cultures, so Desiring more sets the goal to explore sexuality and queerness in relation to each other, and even just for that it should be considered an interesting book to read, even if it's not exactly your cup of tea. Be aware, steamy scenes are strong with this one!

A book full of desire, fantasy, and scenarios to please and tantalize. You won't be disappointed. I hope this becomes a yearly edition.

Thanks to Netgalley I managed to read this one. It's always hard to rate multiple short stories and to be honest not one of them really stood out for me.

I apologize in advance, but this was book was not for me. I could not finish, this series of stories I could not get into. I tried but for me it felt all over the place.

This book was honestly not my cup of tea - as a collection of short stories, I expect more impact and less background - a few of the stories were ok, but must just left me meh. I typically do not post 1 star reviews publicly because I think others may have different needs in books than me.
