Review of "Best Women's Erotica of the Year, Volume 6" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Short review: The collection includes the editor's introduction and 20 short stories. Most of the stories come in at about 10 to 15 pages.

That is another strength of the book: odds are you'll find a story or more that you'll enjoy and that may stay with you well after reading them.
Overall, this is a very good and solid erotica anthology.
