2005-08-17 Wet with no juice...

With a title as bold as 'Wet:True Lesbian Sex Stories' you, like me, would be right in expecting a book full of salacious, naughty and down right dirty sex stories. However, it is with grave disappointment that this book offers very little of the aforementioned. Of the 31 stories on offer, only 5 are of any real interest, and these themselves are incredibly short (even by short story standards). Although there are some great premises, in particular 'Three in a Bed', by Nicky Donoghue and 'Sex for a Cigarette', by Caitlin S. Curran, the sex scenes are short and feel somewhat contrived (although, as stated in the title, they are supposedly true). For sex scenes to really hit home, they need to be graphic, detailed and feverishly hot. And with books like these, it is the sex that people want - nothing else, just piping hot, juicy sex, and unfortunately this book just does not deliver the juice.
