A volume of literary erotica exploring the possibilities of sexual negotiation. Twenty complex, surprising, intense, and relatable stories from a spectrum of new and established writers center on something unusual in erotic fiction: someone saying no. Submissives-and dominants-safeword out of BDSM scenes. Couples (and one threesome!) discover the options and boundaries within their new relationships. Past trauma rears its head. Personal preferences clash. Between the Shores shows respect for the boundaries people set as an integral part of sex, and highlights trust, communication-and mutual pleasure. Some call a halt to the action. Some proceed with care and caution. Some reveal secrets to their partners that they've never before shared. And some find exciting alternatives. Through negotiation-whether serious or accompanied by laughter-they move beyond their "no" to reach what they truly desire: healing, growth, and fulfillment both sexual and otherwise."...talented authors show us that consent can be sexy, too.....In fact, I would say the quality of Between the Shores is among the best of all the erotica I've read, and that says something given how many books I've reviewed". - Adriana Ravenlust, ofsexandlove.com
