There is something to be said for short stories, especially in genres such as erotic fiction. If done right, they can indeed please the eye, and more so the imagination.Yet it is a dilemma for readers such as myself. In many ways, I prefer the characters to be developed more, so that you have some feeling for them, rather than just be told about their (sexual) feelings for others. So I was hesitant at first to try such a collection of short stories.I shouldn't have been. Alexis Severine puts together a very readable collection of quick stories that engage the imagination. Perhaps the stories are a bit quick in getting down to the action, but as England's most famous bard once said, "there's the rub". This is often what excites  the most, and in this the author delivers.
