As with most anthologies, my enjoyment of the stories and poetry was mixed.
Though I didn't care for a lot of the sexual content, especially the ones with sadism, I still enjoyed some of the stories.
The stories I liked best, in order of where they are in the book, are "In Circles" by Aurelia T. Evans, "Shark" by Kestrel Barnes, and "Here Lies the Last Lesbian Rental in East Vancouver" by Amber Dawns.
