Madison’s marriage is over, but her relationship with Kate is really heating up. A beach vacation is just what the twosome needs to play house and explore the sizzling physical side of their relationship. And when Kate invites a sexy surfer guy over to play, anything can happen.

I enjoyed this very short summer story. The beach is a perfect backdrop to the girls’ romance, and it was particularly fun to watch Madison drop her inhibitions and cut loose after trying to live a life she was clearly not happy with. Summer is the time to play, and KB Cutter’s characters leap right into the spirit of the season. Made me want a vacation!

Jui Fabrice, successful executive, is traveling on the European continent when she encounters Wade Kairos. The handsome stranger attracts her attention immediately, although she is already contemplating a relationship with a coworker who her father, and employer, highly approves of. Although Wade sends mixed messages, neither can forget the other. But Wade can’t have a relationship with a human—for this vampire the penalty would be death.

Ms. Church writes an exciting tale of romance on two continents. Her characters move and dance around each other in an appealing dance that will have the reader wondering how the story can possibly end. Her vampires are definitely not the kinder, gentler blood drinkers that are in many books these days. Wade is a creature of passion and excitement and, yes, some violence. Jui is a woman of the world, not a naïve shrinking violet, and when they get together the sparks fly.

Fans of Ms. Church’s Allaire books will want to snap this book up right away and plan to curl up and enjoy it. I made the mistake of starting it when I had work to do…anyway, good book and the work got done…eventually. I only hope there will be a sequel because I miss Wade and Jui already.

An older man, a younger man, a country estate, and a secret society of jaded men seeking ever more depraved acts to sate their desires. Craven and Anthony, college students and very curious young men have been watching the comings and goings from Beresford Hall in hopes of catching a glimpse of Dominic Beresford, the mysterious and reportedly godlike master of the premises. When they are discovered, they receive a very insistent invitation to enter and learn what their penalty will be for spying on their betters.

Once again Keta Diablo grabbed me with her first sentence and took me right into her characters’ world. Her backgrounds are lush, her characters complete people who I am immediately interested in, and her sexual scenes are wild and captivating. I recommend this book, as I do all of Ms. Diablo’s books.

Strangers meet while trapped in town by an avalanche and an attraction ignites, pulling them together. Lacy Hennessey is an enforcer for the Irish mob in Boston in town to kill the man who’d killed her father. Her life is hard, cold, passion and love not part of it.

Dr. Josh Davenport missed a flight out of town for some R & R, is trapped into going to his ex-girlfriend’s engagement party, and then goes to the hotel bar at the resort. He’s immediately drawn to the beautiful blonde sitting by alone. He wants her; she wants him. Yet as the attraction heats up and he wants her to go away with him, she still has a job to do. She’s never known love or if she’s even capable of it. Can she take a chance on it with this man who doesn’t know about her darker side? Can he let her have her secrets and take a chance on seeing what might lie ahead for them?

This is a very short story and there isn’t time for much character development. Her external conflict is obvious. The conflict between them lies with her secret. Overall, the story is okay, but could have been much more.

What an interesting short story! I always forget until I read it again or see a movie with the theme that Lewis Carroll’s novel was such a twisted little tale. The author of this short story clearly had fun writing it.

The Red Knight gives the reader a deliciously naughty look into his making love with his beloved White Queen.
