Aphrodite in Bloom: A Collection of Erotic Stories

This was a pleasant surprise. I didn't know what I was signing up for but I love anthologies because I get to experience different writing and discover new authors. This does have something for everyone but it's in a historical setting. I didn't gather that from the blurb even though it mentions it. The stories are short and have a little something for every person.

Aphrodite in Bloom by Anonymous A Collection of Erotic Stories Luscious lusty lovingly told stories that were absolutely lovely. I can easily see this book being kept at the side of one’s bed to read and reread alone…or…with a lover or two or three ;) What I liked: * The writing – superbly written, hot, steamy, drew me in and made me care * The wide variety in the various stories * That I could actually visualize the scenes and at times felt I could have stepped into some of them * The historical setting * That there were characters from more than one social class. * That the lovers were given happy endings even if sometimes unconventional * Wondering who the anonymous author might be and wanting to read more of their work * That the stories accomplished their purpose…am sure my glasses steamed up more than a few times * That each story was complete * That relationships were consensual * Everything about these stories was superb What I didn’t like: * I usually put this section in but…there isn’t anything for me to say that I didn’t like. The only story that I didn’t relate to quite as well was one with letters and that surprised me since I have always been a pen pal throughout my life. Did I enjoy this book? YES! Would I read more by this author? Definitely…if I knew who it was ;) Thank you to NetGalley, Entangled-Amara, and Insklinger PR for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
