—Publishers Weekly

. . . The common theme is temptation, but you’ll find little in common amongst these nineteen authors. . . No doubt there’s a myriad of ways we can be -and are- ‘tempted.’ A myriad of desires to explore, fetishes and kinks to pursue, taboos to break. 

—Playgirl

The stories curated for this anthology effortlessly weave all the notes of temptation—the resistance, the anticipation, and then finally… the yielding. These creative, varied, and entertaining stories will have you hooked, excited, eager for more and perhaps agreeing with Oscar Wilde that 'the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.'

—Rilzy Adams, author of Go Deep, Treble and Surrender
