AFTER DARK by KyAnn Waters

Kayla March is tired of not being able to find sexual gratification.  She has a good feeling regarding a new club she’s heard about and is hopeful that she’ll meet a man there who will make her fantasies come true.  What she doesn’t realize is that AFTER DARK is a vampire feeding ground, but not to worry, the man destined for her will find her – and she’ll learn a few truths about her own background that could shatter everything she’s ever believed.


KyAnn Waters has proven herself to be a versatile writer and with this vampire tale she solidifies herself as an author to keep on the auto buy list.  Kayla and Alandro will touch your heart and leave you hungry for more.

FROM THE SEA by Maxie Cooper

Kelli Rhodes loves the beach – the sights, the smells, the sounds – but she’s terrified of the water.  She’d rented the seaside cottage seeking peace and solace while she paints.  Imagine her surprise when a gorgeous man walks from the water.  She paints underwater seascapes, is it possible they’re more than simply her imagination?

 

I’ve always admired seascapes and Maxie Cooper makes them even more magical by incorporating them into this storyline in a magical way.  I found myself fascinated by Maxie and her love/hate relationship with the sea and loved learning the reason for her fear.

LADY’S CHOICE by Rebecca Airies

Kyna has worked hard to find acceptance as a Laurati soldier.  She’s learned to guard her heart because her own society has ostracized her because of her background.  Now that she’s amongst the Calazi she’s finding temptation in the form of two superior officers, Commander Finn Tarn and Drace Amon.  When the three are trapped in the kitchen area during a blackout things heat up but what will happen when the power returns and their rendezvous in the dark is over?

 

Rebecca Airies doesn’t disappoint with this futuristic menage a trois story.  I love how Kyna, Finn and Drace interact and agonized over how the men would react when she reveals her secret worry.

SUNRISE by Natasha Moore

Caroline isn’t looking for a happily-ever-after.  All she wants is smoldering hot sex with no demands and no expectations - well aside from breathtaking orgasms.  She’s been meeting Alan on the beach at sunset over the past several months and so far managed to keep all their encounters in the dark.  Alan wants more than satisfying sex.  He’s ready for more of a commitment but can he persuade her to trust him with her heart?

 

Natasha Moore’s SUNRISE takes readers into the mindset of a woman who’s been burned by love once and has no intention of going through that again.  Told entirely in 1st person this story is an emotional adventure that touches the heart.

SURRENDER DOROTHY by Anna J. Evans

Gelsey is fortunate to be working as a costume mistress at a local theatre.  Her biggest problem is she’s lusting over the Tin Man, a.k.a. Stephan and fraternizing amongst the staff is forbidden.  Much to her surprise Stephan is definitely aware of her and certainly plans to make her his, but there are complications and it looks like the Wizard of Oz may resemble Gelsey’s reality more than she could ever believe.

 

Anna J. Evans makes the Wizard of Oz seem tame compared to this tale.  I love how Gelsey and Stephen appear to be perfectly normal but then their true natures come out and there’s no doubt that they’re perfect together.

THE DEBUTANTE by Samantha Kane

Dominic, Viscount Lethbridge, isn’t interested in any of the lily white virginal simpering debutantes who are constantly being thrown his way.  That doesn’t stop him from taking interest in a particular debutante who may not be a raving beauty but she has the backbone and sensuality he finds desirable.  Clarissa doesn’t care about getting married but she does have an interest in the experiencing carnal desires - and Dominic is just the man to teach her all about passion - and then some.

 

Samantha Kane tells intensely unexpected historical stories and she certainly doesn’t disappoint with this tale.  I love that Clarissa isn’t your typical debutante and there’s no doubt that she’s ready for everything Dominic has to offer.

ELLORA’S CAVEMEN: JEWELS OF THE NILE II is a prime example of what an anthology should be.  Each story is full of impassioned characters who leave the reader in awe of the authors’ talents.  What I especially love about the Cavemen anthology is the mixture of genres.  It’s the perfect opportunity to try out a new genre or even an author you haven’t tried before.
