For the Love of Women:
Volume 2, is set to be released 03/22/16. It is co-written by Kat Watson
and Toira O'Brady. It has over six pieces, over 20,000 words, and just
over 50 pages.
Here is the blurb for this anthology, including an excerpt for each piece:
A
brand-new, six-story lesbian-themed anthology from Kat Watson and Toira
O’Brady is being released March 22, 2016! The stories in this anthology
vary deliciously from science fiction to straight-up erotica—there’s
something for everyone.
In
She Marries Her, a southern bride juggles dealing with her overbearing
mother and the stress of planning her dream wedding. Thankfully, she’s
picked the right partner—one who can distract her from everything else
and remind her why a wedding is happening in the first place. This piece
of erotica with a heart will get your pulse racing.
“Please,” I begged again, knowing she’d know what I meant. I wanted more, needed more, and couldn’t relax until I got it.
“I know, baby. Be patient. We’ll get there.”
A piece about pain, loss, and healing, Are Angels Allowed to Swear? is a complicated work of erotic fiction.
Our
bodies swayed together, and each time she tried to take control, I
pulled it right back. I’m sure to anyone else, it was a hilarious power
struggle, but for us, it was serious. The back and forth of it made me
want her even more, that she would dare to test and try. It had been a
long time since anyone tested me.
“You’ll come home with me?” she asked in my ear as the song ended.
Scars
of War takes us on an otherworldly journey of an Oracle and a Warrior,
their forbidden love, and the lengths we go to—the sacrifices we make—in
order to protect those we love.
We
all know the shield can’t hold against a Category Serra for more than a
sleep cycle. I put my full focus into the one my lips are on. We don’t
need to stray, just need to feel each other. I lean her against the Xylo
tree. She chuckles and begins to make her way down to the ground. We
kiss, caressing each other as if it will be the last time our lips meet.
I try again to open up and start a convo, but she just kisses me
harder, with more passion. I can feel the heat radiating off her, making
the suns feel like the cold recesses of the dark time. I lose all focus
and let my words fall away. I do not have to say a thing. I know, as
she does, that each time our lips touch could be the last time. We are
loving on borrowed time.
New
lovers, Jane and Ava, are still learning about each other. In
Beautifully Exposed, Ava takes Jane on a journey of self-discovery and
challenges Jane’s deeply held beliefs about herself and beauty.
For
hours, Ava concentrated and tried not to allow Jane’s body to distract
her. At times, she failed; her paintbrush would fall to the floor and
she’d nip at the skin of Jane’s breast, teasing the nipple to a peak and
then waiting patiently while she painted as it returned to normal, only
to tease the woman again mercilessly on her next round of distraction.
Wava
and Claire tells the timeless tale of love between two women. Wava has
lost everything in her life; she can’t afford to lose Claire, too.
This
part of the hospital is quiet; this is where you come to die. I look
into Claire’s room, and I can feel the tears slipping down my cheeks.
She is but a wisp of the woman she once was, the woman I fell in love
with. Her face is gaunt, her body frail. She has a vibrant scarf wrapped
around her head. I take a deep breath, reminding myself I have to be
brave for her. I walk into the room and make my way to the bed. I take
her hand and lean down, kissing her softly. A smile floats across her
face. She can’t open her eyes. I can smell it on her; her time is near. I
have to bite down on the inside of my cheek to keep the tears from
spilling. I kiss her again, and the smile floats across her face once
more. She tries to say something, but I put a finger to her lips.
Travel
with Carlie to Bora Bora in The Beach, where she meets Zoan and her
group of Aussie friends. They sneak away for privacy, and all sorts of
shenanigans ensue.
“My bungalow is just over there. Want to take a swim?” I ask. She nods and we begin to swim.
“Oye, ya bastard, be careful!” Muscles yells after us.

Review
I read Vol 1 a while back and really enjoyed it. I don't read a lot of F/F books... Which I can't figure out why. But in Vol 1 I found so much love, pain, healing, and romance. The same is to be said about Vol 2. These women, every single one, is different. Each carries a story, a burden. Some are a balm to the others burn. There's so much love throughout this anthology it gives you hope no matter who you are. Each short story in this could be lengthy novels and with the ending of each one I want more. That's a sign of a great story. If F/F is something you've always wanted to read but never knew where to start this anthology, as well as 1, are perfect introductions. Kat and Toira have done an excellent job with this anthology.
