Over the course of this past weekend, I read the latest book in Alison Tyler’s erotic alphabet series, L is for Leather and was introduced to a whole new world! I’m not a leather girl, but maybe I should be.

This small book features an eclectic collection of stories that are sure to send you running for the neglected leather gloves in the back of your closet. What really impressed me was the variety of stories Tyler compiled in exploring this fetish.

I was drawn in by Radclyffe’s “Skin-Flick Sex” which tells the tale of a delivery girl who is caught sneaking a peek at a gay porn shoot by a production assistant. I’ve never been to a porn shoot, and always assumed one would be about as sexy as my Great Aunt’s underpants, but when you add the danger of getting caught watching and an aggressive butch to the mix, I’m sold! I’ve enjoyed other piece’s by Radclyffe who definitely has a way with words - “She was hard, would always be hard, would give it to me hard, as deep and as long as I needed it.” - need I say any more?

Kate Pearce’s “Sunday Service” is also worth noting, as she tells the tale of a war widow who is kept in check by an aggressive ranch manager with a thing for leather. Pearce makes me want to move to Montana, or at least buy a beer for the next girl I see with a big ole’ belt buckle.

If you’re deep into the scene, or just curious about what your old leather belt might sound like smacking across you lover’s tender flesh, you’re sure to find something in this brief but bountiful compilation.

And, while I’ve only had the chance to read two books in this series, I am certain you will find the rest are just as fantastic because Tyler has an eye for great erotica. The series covers everything from, well, just A-L, right now…but I’m sure you’ll find plenty steamy stories as Tyler works her way towards Z. Oh, and if anyone is interested, I’m thinking Z is for Zaftig!
