Book of the Month, Seriously Sexy 1, features one particular story that happened to catch our eye here at the LoveHoney Erotic Book Club.

"Impressionism" by Jeremy Edwards is a fascinating piece of erotica based in a Manhattan art gallery. The intense lust in the story is beautifully and deeply described without hindering the story's fast pace. Everyone can see a bit of themselves in the characters - whether it's Valerie's subtle exhibitionism or Max's charming wit - making this a story with an almost magnetic appeal.

Book of the Month, Seriously Sexy 1, is full of amazingly hot stories on such diverse themes as lesbian seduction, open relationships, illicit love affairs, domination and exhibitionism.

Whatever you're interested in, there's sure to be something within the covers of this incredible book to tease and tempt you!

One of the hottest stories in Seriously Sexy 1 is Impressionism by Jeremy Edwards.

This erotic tale of seduction, voyeurism and exhibitionism is beautifully written and is laced with Jeremy's signature style which makes it so easy to lose yourself in the story entirely!

Jeremy is a pseudonymous sort of fellow whose efforts to spin libido into literature have been widely published online, on the newsstands and in print, including in Xcite's Tease Me and the soon-to-be released Ultimate Burlesque. Jeremy explains that his greatest goal in life is "to be sexy and witty at the same moment – ideally in lighting that flatters my profile!"

It might have only just started to feel like summer outside but Pauline Réage's Story of O is bound (excuse the pun!) to leave you hot and bothered! This now infamous tale of dominance and submission is the LoveHoney Erotic Book Club Book of the Month for August.

With its twist operated base and multispeed motor, it provides powerful internal and external stimulation which is sure to make it one of your favourites!

Delving into Story of O to find an excerpt that would provide a suitable taster was exceptionally difficult.

Not because it was hard to find something appropriate, but because the book is so hard to put down once you start reading, I didn't know if the extract would ever end!

I think journalist, critic and author Graham Greene described the book best: 'A rare thing, a pornographic book well written without a trace of obscenity'.

The following extract illustrates that point perfectly, using the passionate and elegant language that the whole book is laced with.

In normal circumstances we would feature an interview with the author of the LoveHoney Erotic Book Club Book of the Month but sadly, Pauline Réage, the author of Story of O passed away in 1998.

However, the author's life is so fascinating and the hidden tale behind the Story of O so intriguing, there's no way that we couldn't let you in on it!

Story of O is widely acknowledged to be one of the most famous erotic novels of all time. Graham Greene described it as "a rare thing, a pornographic book well written and without a trace of obscenity".

Harold Pinter called it "a remarkable piece of work", while Brian Aldiss proclaimed, "I do believe that Pauline Réage had confounded all her critics and made pornography (if that is what it is) an art".

These are just a few of the incredible compliments from some of the most prolific literaries of modern times, especially as Story of O has been so controversial and divisive in its approach to sex, feminism, discipline and submission.

If you're going to put together a 'best of' anthology like Wicked Words 10 and ensure that each and every story hits the spot, you need someone who knows erotica to crack the whip and take charge!

Enter Kerri Sharp - Black Lace stalwart and editor extraordinaire - who was infamously accused by the Daily Mail during the early days of Black Lace of "corrupting the morals of the nation's women and betraying civilised values." A fabulous recommendation if ever we've heard one!

Here Kerri tells us what you'll find inside the covers of Wicked Words 10, how she went about selecting the stories, and what makes an erotica 'sizzling hot' rather than 'absolutely not'!
