This is a collection of short stories. I really liked some of them, enough to give them 5 stars. There were a few in the middle I couldn’t get into at all though. Overall I enjoyed this book!

Not quite my cup of tea.

Guess I prefer a story you can get into, rather than ones that are more like chapters and done.

This book is a collection of short erotica stories. Some better than others but I liked that it used an array of genders, ages, class. There is not much emphasis on the story or character development but then again I didn’t expect that from a collection of short stories. The book is split into collections of stories and every collection has its own theme, some more inspired than others. The way this book is structured makes is hard to review, some stories I would give 5 starts and some 1 or 2. But overall it is a decent erotica read.

This is a collection of short stories. Quick reads but unfortunately not steamy or sexy for me. Quite a tame book. I also can’t get used to the pronoun They.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to see an arc of this book.

Fun, sexy, sensual, and oh so adventurous. This is exactly as advertised and so much more. Perfect as a quick pick me up or a great weekend lustfest, your choice.

Really good Erotica. This was the first book by this author I have read. The way Raven Sky wrote this was pretty interesting. Each segment had a different meaning and it was all about how these women came to be together as lovers for a night or partners for a lifetime. I liked all the segments, but I especially liked the last part of the book because it dealt more with how the women became partners for life. A couple of the stories were about sex clubs others were about traveling and meeting people from different cultures but every story was very erotic and sexy. I would probably not recommend this to my family members but I would definitely recommend this to my friends. I will be on the lookout for what this author writes and comes up with next.

Desiring More by Raven Sky was filled with quite a few quick reads that are steamy! The writing was well done. Each section of stories has a theme. Some themes I liked better than others, but all books are hot! There are many types of love representation here. If you enjoy reading racy and spicy books, these short stories are for you.

This is a book of multiple short stories with many different characters. Since the stories were so short, there wasn't much character development. And while the characters were described to be very diverse from each other, each story and relationship was quite similar.

Not good. Too much of telling the reader things, not making them see it. Blah. Not reading anything else by author

I did not enjoy how short each story was. And the narrative structure was really hard to read because it tried to put the reader in the story, rather than observing the story. This book was a bit too all over the place for me

Desiring More is a collection of steamy lesbian stories with a variety of themes from old ladies reminiscing about sexual events in their life to a leather clad dominatrix. The individuals in the stories included all races, ages and class. This collection would be good for anyone that enjoys reading BDSM involving lesbians.

3 stars.

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.

This book was well written, very inclusive and I liked that it was a collection of short stories. However, this book could have benefited from being a bit shorter as it really did began to drag and the stories all blended into one towards the end. I'm still really happy that I read this though, as you never get any non binary representation, especially AFAB (assigned female at birth), let alone in sexual contexts.

I couldn't really get into this book, sadly. I think there were some elements that jarred for me (gender, gaze). Maybe I wasn't in the right mood, but I won't be returning to it.

A great collection

It really has something for every taste. This collection is so hot that satisfies every sexy story you could wish for. A lot of them will become your favorites. I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley.

I was sadly disappointed with this collection of short stories. I found the writing clunky and not nearly as sexy as I had hoped when I requested it. I gave up about fifteen percent into the book.

Desiring More is an anthology of short stories all featuring sapphic erotica. This is a really beautiful and empowering book, exploring the many ways sex can impact us throughout our lives in diverse and unexpected ways. I really loved how sex positive this book was, and showed the beautiful tenderness that is sex between two women - but also that it can be super passionate, hot and sexy.

I thought the range of stories was excellent and truly has something for everyone - featuring people from all walks of life; different ages, different life experiences, different races and a huge range of different types of sex (sweet sex between old lovers, hookups, first times, discovering sexuality, bdsm and voyeurism and more). It creates a vibrant picture of queer love and truly feels like a celebration.

Also (and possibly most importantly) the sex scenes are super steamy and well written, the author managed to do a great job of mixing things up so it didn't become boring or repetitive between the stories.

Quite disappointed in this. This was rife with fetishization, racism, and uncomfortable comments on gender. I skimmed most of the stories once I got to an inappropriate comment in each one. A shame.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

This was a great collection of steamy stories some had me reaching for glass of cold water others was a bit boring. I did like the fact that it had differences of race, age, and class.

I know this was a book of steamy short stories but I felt like the story portion on it was rushed and non existent. This is a personal preference that I also want the story to go along with the stream.
