Reviews Page 1 - Xcite Books - Kinky Girls: 20 Erotic Stories

With names such as Carmel Lockyer, K D Grace, Justine Elyot and Sommer Marsden nestling between its covers, Kinky Girls promises much. And it certainly does not disappoint.

The theme is evident from the title - the stories in this book are seriously kinky. From spur of the moment prostitution to getting down and dirty with a priest, this book has it all.

As with most anthologies, some stories are better than others. There were a couple I disliked, but the others were so sparklingly brilliant that it more than made up for it. A few were so stand out that I'll still remember them many books and months down the line.

If you enjoy deliciously dark and dirty tales, then you should definitely get your hands on a copy of Kinky Girls. You won't regret it.

I received this book as a gift from a friend having not read a huge amount of erotica and being very curious about what was out there. This book is a brilliant way to get into erotic literature. The stories are engaging from the very outset, and the fact that they are short stories makes it even easier to get into. One story is the perfect length to read before bed to get you in the mood. I like the idea of reading a partner certain stories I've enjoyed and as such, sharing the fantasy.

The running theme through this book is, as the title states, 'kinky girls' who embrace their sexuality. The stories themselves differ greatly and touch on a whole host of different fantasies which makes this book very accessible as there's bound to be something in there to tickle everyone's fancy. The stories are kinky but feature nothing too extreme so are unlikely to shock or upset anyone. If you're new to erotic lit or just starting to dabble in the world of 'kink' then this book could be the perfect choice. It could really help you with ideas too.

This book is very well put together. Like all anthologies some stories are better than others but they read very well as a whole. There were a couple of stories that didn't quite do it for me but the ones that did really made up for it. In fact certain of them have stuck with me so much that I may even go back and read them again!

In short - this book lives up to its name and features a delicious smorgasbord of sexual fantasies, all the perfect length to pick up and read whenever the mood takes you. Well worth a read.

I've never really been into erotic fiction, I often get bored in the middle so I thought short stories would be better for me.

There is a nice variety of stories (including one of my fantasties) in this book. They are a good length, as I've said I wasn't looking for full length stories but I need to be able to get into a bit of a story, not just senseless sex, regardless of how hot that sex is.

Some stories weren't quite to my taste, but they are all well enough written to be enjoyable anyway. For me, it was about the right amount of kink. These stories are not vanilla but they aren't particularly extreme. Great if you want to start explore your kinky side.

This is a great book to be able to dip in and out of so if you don't have time to sit and read a longer book this could definitely be for you.

5 stars for the sex tips as I picked up a couple of ideas!

Alice sent me this for winning a competition on the forums. At the time I didn't have much free time to read and so after taking several weeks to read the first few chapters the book got buried. After having a tidy out of my books last week I found this and decided to start reading it again from the beginning. This time with more free time I managed to read the whole book in about a week around other things as well.

I enjoyed reading the book and found it to be a good general introduction into the world of erotic kinky books. There are so many different writers and themes in this book there really is something for everyone. Each new story is titled and has the writer underneath, I found this very helpful as you could look up authors of stories you enjoyed.

There are twenty stories included in this book, all with varying themes, some more obscure and kinky than others. These these stories and themes are as follows:

A member of the Profession by Angel Props - BDSM and girl on girl.

The Clearing by Chris Ross - Voyeurism, fisting, masturbation and older men.

As you can see there is a real mixture of themes and stories, some are decidedly more kinky than others and some are more tame. Although I didn't enjoy reading every story I did enjoy reading the book as a whole.

Recommended as a general introduction into the world of erotic kinks.

I feel that the book is very well written and is in the form of short stories, enough to get you going and hooked but not too much that you get bored half way through a story or the book. The use of words are also used very well to add to the kinky/turn-on effect!

Overall the book has very good story lines with the main theme being in each short story about kinky women and how they embrace their fantasies and sexualities. Although throughout the book a lot of the themes and story lines were quite strong, but my personal opinion is that some of the stories were a bit weak, only because they didn't appeal much to me sexually (although they weren't a turn-off), or involve my ultimate fantasy.

As mentioned before, some aspects of the book were more interesting, much more appealing and more of a turn-on than other parts of it. I would say it's neither boring nor extremely exciting to me, sometimes a bit tame in places, although a few of the stories I found myself reading over more than once. I would've loved it to feature more stories though, even though there are quite a lot but I'm just fussy!

There are far too many kinky scenes to describe them but, I particularly like the opening story. Without saying too much about it, it features a young woman who has just split from her fiance just before her wedding day and is left in debt trying to find all the money to pay for it still. She is seduced by another woman who leads a very extravagant lifestyle and is very well to do, with the help from her much older husband. She is obviously just with him for the lifestyle and seeks sexual gratification elsewhere, and in this case it's in the form of the young woman who doesn't lead such a luxury life, whom is persuaded by money offered to her from the rich woman in return for sex. This particular story features obviously girl on girl sex with strap on's involved and some anal, with the use of BDSM. I feel that this appeals more to me and therefore is in my opinion the most kinkiest scene in the book.

I would say that I would rate this at about an 8 on the kink scale for me, very very good, but in places can be a bit tame and not in enough detail and some of the stories weren't really 'my thing'!

There weren't any turn-offs in the book and definitely nothing too extreme, just for me personally didn't feature my personal ultimate fantasy, of which I am still seeking to find in the many fantasy books available out there. I would say that there is some 'anal' themed scenes in the book, which is still quite taboo for some women and so this may not appeal to some.

I feel the main theme to the book is about kinky women and how they embrace their fantasies and sexualities. The stories have been well selected as there are lots of different scenarios in the book and different sex styles, and if I read correctly some of the stories were about kinky women that men have written about and contributed to the book, so you get an insight from both sexes.

I enjoyed I would say about 70% of the book, overall it is a very good read and there is something in it that would appeal to everyone.

To round this up I would thoroughly recommend this book, it is very good and lives up to its name 'kinky'. It's well worth the read to spice up any dull day or special evening with a partner or haing a little 'me time' by yourself!

This book is very well written with various themes of kink.

The length of each story is just enough and varies from spur of the moment to some acts being planned but are all enjoyable.

Some of the stories were not my thing really but did give me an insight into every type of kinkiness that goes on.

The book is a great introduction and not too extreme.

I have read collections of stories that are more exciting but this does give you good ideas.

The book was a collection of 20 short stories, with a 'kinky' theme I guess, although I personally didn't find them overly so but they may be more about my boundaries than their content. I have an e-reader and this was the first erotic content I had had for it and I was quite excited by the prospect, however the reality of it was very disappointing. I have many hard copy erotica books which I love, just being able to grab one and pick a story at random and get off, not so with this e-book. Repeatedly pressing the button to attempt to find the story I wanted was a pain in the backside, and even when I read this in PDF on the laptop, it was equally as annoying having to keep scrolling down or pressing page down, hard to do with a vibe in the other hand, and yet I seem to manage perfectly well with a book in my hand so am not sure what was specifically wrong?

Perhaps if it had been one bigger story so I could have bookmarked my progress and picked up where I left off etc it may have worked better, I did read a story at a time and then bookmark but it just seemed awkward, perhaps using lube-y fingers on my beloved e-reader concerned me, at least with a paperback that doesn't matter but I did feel conscious that I may do some damage to my equipment when using the e-reader/laptop, so perhaps erotica is best left to hardcopy only?

There were also formatting issues when I transferred the PDF to my e-reader and some of the pages ended up with only 3 lines of text on them, even though it wasn't the end of a chapter, so I did seem to have to press the next page button rather a lot.

I only scored it one on sex tips as it isn't technically that sort of book although am sure people may well get ideas from it.

1. On the whole, was the book well written? It was a collection of stories by various authors of varying quality although I have to be honest and say none of them really stood out for me, and I'm even struggling now to recall what some of them were about, not a good sign...

2. Did the book have a good storyline, or was the storyline weak? Based on my previous comment, I'd have to say I wasn't impressed over all, they just didn't seem to float my boat, and kinky usually does. Other erotica I have makes me have to reach for my nearest vibe, but this one was very much take it or leave it, and on the whole not worth getting up off the sofa...

3. Did you find yourself wanting to read more or was it easy to put down? Definitely easy to put down....

4. What were the kinkiest scenes in the book? I wish I could remember, some bondage, a domme having her wicked way, outside sex, nothing too kinky in my view....

5. How kinky was the content? 1 = boring, 10 = super kinky 3?

6. Were there any scenes that were turn-offs, or too extreme? What were they? Nothing was too extreme or a turn off, it just wasn't very interesting or stimulating...

7. Was there a theme to the anthology? If so, what was it and were the stories well selected considering the theme? Kink.... Depends on your definition of kink, I guess for some these would be kinky, to me it was fairly normal but yes they all had a kink element to them as opposed to straight forward romance and flowers with a shag thrown in ;-)

8. Roughly how many stories did you enjoy? (three quarters, half, a third, none) Can't even recall one, really disappointed as I had such high expectations for my first erotic e-book, I truly think had I read these stories in hardcopy I probably would have been just as unimpressed, but the e-version failed to live up to what I had hoped....
