Change of Pace: Erotic Interludes by Radclyffe is a wonderful collection of short stories so delightful and delicious they will tempt, tease, and thrill readers for years to come. The anthology is contemporary, yet timeless, not only about sex, but also about love, longing, lust, surprises, chance meetings, planned meetings, fulfilling wild fantasies, and trust. Radclyffe is masterful at wrapping subtle plots, inspired settings, and entertaining characters around an incredible variety of hot sex scenes.

Radclyffe paints her characters using just enough brushstrokes to give the reader a whole portrait. When one lover states, 'She had the hands of a magician, the mouth of a saint, and she could read me as if I were a billboard lighting up the night in Times Square' [p. 134], it's easy to imagine how much she appreciates her lover.

Full Service Station made me laugh out loud when the main character was so horny she thought, 'The waitress in the diner, a friendly gem of a woman about one year older than God, made my pulse trip. Hell, even inanimate objects such as trees and fireplugs were beginning to appeal' [p. 14]. The scene became funnier as it went on but you'll have to read the book to see what I mean. This is a mere sampling of Radclyffe's humor which is sprinkled throughout the text.

Runway Blues was great! Who hasn't fantasized about meeting a stranger at an airport after the trials and tribulations of trying to fly somewhere on a holiday weekend' Or maybe you've been to the Red Light District in Holland as in A Woman in the Shadows, or longed for a massage as in Four Star Accommodations, or perhapsa luxurious bath as in Hart's Desire. If you've ever gone toy shopping in a sex shop, you'll love Happy, Happy Birthday, Baby. Contemplating a piercing' You have to read Pleasure Points! All of the twenty-five stories are diversified enough to keep you interested, and are sexy enough to keep you hot.

The build-up, humor, and satisfaction are evident and incredible; Radclyffe gives her readers the pay-off they long for and have come to expect. Trust me when I say that you are going to need a fan, cold shower, partner, or whatever floats your boat, to quell the fire you'll feel while reading Change of Pace: Erotic Interludes. Three of my favorite stories are the Clinical Trials ' Phase One: Calibrations, Phase Two: Video, and Phase Three: Assist Mode, but I highly recommend you read all of Radclyffe's Change of Pace: Erotic Interludes and choose your own favorite. I am sure you will have more than one favorite in this five star collection.
