Review
"Cleis remains a prolific publisher of diverse, enjoyable erotic anthologies, and this collection of literary lust is not to be missed. The structure alone is worth a perusal, with each submission sporting a catalog card display that serves as both a cheeky homage to librarians and a handy summary (i.e., Lynn Townsend’s “Full Frontal Neighbor” falls under category: Romantic Hero, subject: 1. Exhibition 2. Trauma 3. Curvaceous). Big Book kicks off with seasoned erotica author Rachel Kramer Bussel’s “Book Swap,” in which an older woman meets her kinky match in a curious younger seatmate on her flight. Many contributions draw on bibliophiles’ favorites—mythology and fairy tales—such as Janine Ashbless’s tale of Oedipus sharing the “whole” story, and much more, with a beautiful stranger (“Three Legs in the Evening”), or Emily Bingham’s “A Perverted Fairy Tale,” which puts a fantastically wicked twist on Little Red Riding Hood and her big, bad wolf. The tone ranges from fun and frothy (Tamsin Flowers’s “Pow! It’s Shibari Girl” simultaneously plays on the superhero genre and provides a healthy dose of erotic rope play), while others take a darker turn. “The Whole of Me,” by Katya Harris, depicts an alternate world where memories can be digitized and downloaded, a mechanism the grieving Shaun uses to keep his dead wife alive in his own mind, to his detriment. Three women share a mysterious love from the beyond (or possibly from above) in Angela Caperton’s delightfully spooky “Mikhael.” VERDICT With a wide array of bombastic, bookish stories, this anthology would do well in any erotica collection."
–Library Journal
"This voracious volume is simply bursting at the binding with amorous archives and bibliophilic bliss."
—Publishers Weekly, in their Top 10 Romance & Erotica column
"Rose Caraway is a librarian on a very sexy mission and the library she’s created carries as many diverse stories as any library I’ve ever entered (and I’ve been in a few) but with a twist. All the stories should come with a warning stating that they are dangerously sexy. This book might only contain 22 stories, but these are the types of stories that all libraries should carry in my book."
–Clitical
"Stories for every kind of taste."

"Rose Caraway's Sexy Librarian's Big Book of Erotica is as naughty as it is nice; you can see the careful hand of the curator behind every choice in this terrific tome."

This is, hands-down, the most creative set-up I've ever seen for an erotica book. The book is formatted like a little library, with an actual, realistic library card in front of each chapter. Plus, if you've ever seen Rose Caraway or listened to her podcast the Kiss Me Quicks, you'd know that she truly is one of the sexiest librarians out there.
Beauty, brains, and a gorgeous collection of sexy stories? Sold, sold, and sold!

The Sexy Librarian's Big Book of Erotica consists of 22 short stories that are incredibly diverse. Spanning such erotic genres as fairy tales, Greek classics, sci-fi, and even steampunk, this two hundred something page book truly manages to be its own little library of sexy fun. I love that at the beginning of each story, there's a library-esque card catalog introduction that introduces the story with the title, author, category, and subject. Not only is this incredibly cute and matches the librarian theme of the collection, but it is also exceedingly helpful. It lets you easily flip through the book and pick a book based on your mood and interests at that very moment. Conversely, it allows you to skip stories that you know aren't your erotic interests.
The stories are unconnected, so in addition to easy maneuvering through genres and the like, this means that you do not have to read them in any specific order, or straight through like a regular novel. You can pick and choose, stop and go back, and read in whatever way may tickle your particular fancy. Personally, I went to my favorite genres and kinks first because I'm impatient and the kind of girl who sneaks peeks at her Christmas presents well before Christmas morning.
That being said, I can honestly say that there is no story in this collection that I didn't enjoy. That being said, of course I loved some more than others. I'll share with you my top three stories, in no particular order. "Three Legs in the Evening" by Janine Ashbless is an erotic imagining of Oedipus and the Sphinx that he encountered in the Greek tragedy we all know and love. This one tugged at my Classics minor, and I adored that someone decided to make something, well, classic into an erotic tale.Read more ›

Disclaimer: I received a print copy in exchange for an honest review.
There's a staggering array of subgenres and scenarios here: the stories with sci-fi, fantasy, and paranormal aspects are done particularly well. (This does mean that some of the stories are darker than I expected, especially in the second half.) I would have loved to see an m/m story, though there are several appealing m/m/f pieces.

Variety is the spice of life. And variety in an erotica anthology is a rare, spicy treat. The deceptively sweet-voiced "sexy librarian" Rose Caraway offers exactly what the cover promises. It's a creative concept featuring some of today's most engaging writers of short erotica. Like a box of Godiva chocolates, you can trust the quality and deliciousness even though each bon bon has a different flavor. Yum!

Absolutely love the set up of this book. The card catalog for each story was genius. You can tell how important this book was to Rose Caraway.
The quality of authors and stories in this book are outstanding. 22 amazing stories and all are very unique. I can't recommend this enough. If you like erotica at all you need this book.
I can't wait to see what Rose has coming next because this was perfect!
