Paranormal Mates Society, where finding the love of your life is supernatural, super easy!

Tired of squeamish humans passing you over because blood is your beverage of choice? Are your fins fed up with the goldfish bowl of dating? Did the devil make you give up on ever finding your soul mate? Long to soar to the heavens with the match of your dreams? Log on to
ParanormalMatesSociety.com!

Vamps masquerade as werewolves, fire serpents melt the hearts of Yetis, a psychic tames her genie -- it's Satan's own online dating service, and chaos has never been quite this hot!

In Matchmaker’s Match Willa Okati gives readers a different glimpse in to the mind of the devil himself and when you add in an angel and an ancient god this is a trio of strong men with overwhelming sexual appetites. I enjoyed how gritty the encounter between the Wanderer, Scratch and Loki was. The descriptions were awesome and I had no problem picturing the cluttered room. While I prefer my stories a little on the sweeter side I did enjoy the humor and twists of this tale.

A genie lamp plays a key roll in Lacey Savage’s Finders Keepers but it’s the genie himself who steals the show while the heroine steals his heart. Claudia and Xander complement each other so well that you cannot help but cheer on their relationship.

Rachel Bo creates a fabulous world in Long Tall Furry and it is a place I want to visit again and again. Sinna and Goss are two phenomenally developed characters, so strong on their own but unbelievable together. I love how easy it was to suspend my disbelieve and just fall right into the emotions of this story.

It is no secret that I love Dakota Cassidy, she writes with a charm and humor that makes me feel like I’m witnessing a great chick flick or having a fabulous conversation with a friend. In Chunkybuttfunky the heroine is a curvy gal (my favorite) who is looking for something different. Cadence and Collin have this fantastic chemistry and I love watching them dig themselves farther and farther in to a mess by lying to one another. 

Paranormal Mates Society is an enjoyable collection of witty reads that any supernatural erotic fiction fan will enjoy.

Werewolves are tenacious creatures, hunting their prey -- and their lovers -- with deadly accuracy.

Rarely do they miss their mark. Give that wolf a human form and he's almost invincible. Except when it comes to matters of the heart. Their lovers aren't the type to submit easily. It will take all their skills -- both human and lupine -- to get what they want. But then, they never settle for anything less…

Werelock by Dakota Cassidy
Addison Ross agrees to go on an All Hallows Eve pumpkin picking expedition to appease her niece and nephew. Hoo boy does she ever pick a winner. Beneath her pumpkin lies a talisman that brings the delish Caleb Marsden into her life. Caleb Marsden, the werelock…

Wild Ones by Kira Stone
Bitten by a ferocious wolf, Billy's need for solitude leads him to carve out a territory in the Canadian wilderness. Luc's small pack is made up of weres with the ability to control the elements. They need
Billy to complete the circle… but first the Wild Ones will have to
catch him…

The Witching Hour by Marteeka Karland
Hazel really wants to be the witch her Grandma always said she could be.
Unfortunately, though her spells always work, they never quite work the
way they're supposed to. Drake, the hunky werewolf next door, has an
appetite for a certain witch… and it's all for her own good.
After all, who ever heard of a virgin witch?

Wolf Bound by Sierra Dafoe
When Jenna's lover strands her on a ski slope in the Canadian
Rockies, an enigmatic lone wolf rescues her -- only to transform into a
naked, stunningly sexy man! Now Jenna is faced with a bitter dilemma:
if she stays, she'll be putting his life at risk. If she leaves, it's his heart she'll be destroying…

Werelock is a fresh and fun read. Addison and Caleb make a wonderful couple and their Halloween adventure provided me with some steamy moments and quite a few chuckles. Every character in this story is so completely developed from the big bad demon, to the annoyingly honest children. This author has a spot on my favorite list and this story confirms why she is there. This is a five-star story and I just know I will read it over and over again, perhaps making it my own holiday tradition.

Wild Ones is a spiritual shifter short full of action and folklore. It is raw and magical and completely mysterious. I love how I was drawn into the pack and how protective I felt towards Billy. Luc is a wonderfully complex hero and his genuine affection for Steve and Jacques is palpable. The unusual dynamics of the relationship easily fall into place and feel right. I enjoyed how in-depth Luc’s feelings and sentiments were and I appreciated the glimpses into the emotions of the newly turned Billy.

The Witching Hour is a fabulous fun and flirty story. I cannot describe how much I adore Hazel and Drake and all the fellow inhabitants of their delightful town. I am still chuckling over the groping Drake was subject to by the feisty seniors in his apartment building. I have to say that to be completely honest I wish there had been a warning that the story involved sex while the shifter was in animal form with the partner in human form, personally this is too taboo for me and I honestly wish it had not been included as it greatly diminished my enjoyment of an otherwise fantastic tale.

Wolf Bound is an unusual story with an amazingly detailed heroine. Jenna is a strong and intelligent character who finds herself in circumstances beyond her control. I found the erotic interaction between animal and human to be way too uncomfortable to be enjoyable and wish the sexual contact had solely occurred when both parties were in human form. I really wish that I could have gotten glimpses into our hero’s thoughts and feelings. My enjoyment in a story comes from a connection with the characters and I was unable to truly connect with this wild wolf with so much potential.

Overall Wolf is an interesting collection that admirers of our fine furry friends will love to add to their collection.

These three wonderful authors have done it again. Not only are they great authors in their own right but together they make a great team. Each of these stories is a good read but together they are fantastic. Each story has a strong plot and characters that are so full of emotions and depth as well as sex appeal. You can practically see the steam rising off of the pages. This is definitely a must read. If you enjoyed the first book you will be thoroughly pleased with this one as well. I loved watching each relationship in this book begin and take shape.

 

  In the first story we meet Master Trevor and Shelby. As Master Trevor teaches Shelby we see their feelings begin to ignite. Neither he nor Shelby is ready for the bond that forms between them, but hopefully love will win.  I loved seeing the hard Dom find his match. Shelby may not have a lot of experience but she wants to try for more and she wants to please Trevor. The two make a wonderful couple.

 

  Next comes the story of Holly and her men. Tex and Hunter have longed for this day, as has Holly. The three finally find themselves at a crossroads either take the plunge or continue to live in pain. I really liked the way these three learned to lean on each other for support. Holly is a strong woman who finds that her heart belongs to both men and she is ready to take what she wants.

 

  Summer and Virgil’s story comes next. After a painful and frightening experience Summer has vowed to only play at the club, to never be alone with a Dom again. Yet something about Virgil calls to her. As the two begin to play they find themselves falling for each other but there is much to overcome on both sides.  I loved watching Virgil begin to become the Dom that he is. He is a good man who needs to stop fighting himself. The love he feels for Summer is evident in everything he does and maybe their love will help them both get over their fears. I loved seeing many of the characters from other books by this author in this story. It was nice to see and revisit them again.

 

  Each of these stories was a good read on its own but together they make a wonderful read. Every story intertwines with the others. We see the characters from the other stories in each story making the book flow nicely. I have to say that Master Xavier has once again caught my eye. I hope that one day we get to see his story told. This is a marvelous continuation of this series and I hope that we get to see more from Dark Haven.

Two wonderful authors have come together to give readers a new and different take on fairy tales as only they know how.

 

 In Commanded to Mate we find Sierra and Terek who must join together to fight a common enemy. The two are from different species and must come together to prove their loyalties and to save their people. Only they can begin to make things right but lies and hate may be their undoing. Can Sierra find it in herself to love Terek when it is all said and done?

 

I enjoyed this story. Not only is this story a hot read but we get a wonderful romance as well. Sierra is a strong woman full of fight. She loves with all her heart and will do anything for those that she loves. Terek is an honorable man who finds himself in a situation that he has no control over but he will do whatever it takes to make Sierra happy even if it means letting her go. Watching their relationship begin to turn to love was a nice read. The two make a formidable couple, so in love and ready to defend each other no matter what.

 

Bitter Gold brings us the story of Liese and Stillskin. Sold into slavery Stillskin plots for the day he will be free. On his visits out for his masters he makes a friend: Liese.  The two begin a simple friendship but Liese has begun to have feelings for Stillskin and wishes to help him. That is until she is taken to be made a slave and addict herself. Once he realizes she is in trouble Stillskin tries to figure a way out for them both. Can Liese trust him enough to get them out of the horrible place?

 

Readers will quickly recognize the fairytale that this story is based on. I loved Liese and her love for Stillskin. He may be a slave but he is still a strong man who continues to fight. Seeing the love that these two begin to have for each other was a great read.  Liese and Stillskin will fight for their love no matter what. Showing us that love can conquer all if we let it.

 

These are not the fairy tales that we grew up on as children. They are so much more.  If you love your romance stories with an edge to them than these are for you. I loved visiting these worlds and hope to find more tales like these two from Jennifer Leeland and Mima. I cannot wait to get lost in the worlds that they make again.

Fairy tales in an intergalactic setting, Bound Among Stars contains two stories, one of sacrificing dreams of love for Sierra who agrees to a mating with another species in order to bring peace. The second is a version of Rumplestilskin, where Liese must trust a slave named Stillskin to not only save her, but to keep them both alive long enough for happily ever after.

The world building and creativity in these stories are very well done. I’m more of a character-centric girl myself when I read, so I wanted more from the characters than I got in either story. Sex-wise, spicy doesn’t do the stories justice. They are explicit, but romance and love do grow, which smoothes out the edges of the often quick, harsh and extreme sex scenes. Sci-fi readers looking to spice things up will enjoy this one.

It is hard to describe each of the five stories separately, except to say they were all very hot. 

Demons R Us: Vicky has a chance to get even with her ex and his girlfriend by using two demons. What could be a bad idea, dealing with demons, turns out oh-so-right. You will be charmed by the sexy Asmodai and Ilbris. 

Eria’s Ménage:  Queen Eria believes she must follow her planet’s rules to provide an heir. Two of the potential suitors who arrive, Tad and Brath, want to throw out the rules. 

Fairy in My Bed: Steve has a surprise visitor, a twelve-inch-tall fairy, who gives him three wishes. He doesn’t waste them.

Sexation: Carly is struggling to save her marriage, which has lacked a certain extra excitement for a while. The arrival of It, an alien on vacation to study Earth’s sexual habits, saves the day and her marriage. 

Adventures of Wonderslut: Felicity has a secret life from being just an orchid-grower; she goes all over the world to reward caring lovers and punish insensitive ones. But she needs a hero of her own.

Threesomes an Anthology is a wonderful collection of fantasy short stories to warm your nights and make you shiver with envy. It has everything “threesome.” There is a fun little story of two women finding a new relationship together with the help of a third “ghost” woman. Another story involves a woman finding unique happiness with a male friend and a man he hired from an escort service. There is a story of thee women on vacation together and taking their friendship further. There is even a story taking place at a mansion for a night of special partying between two women and a “gladiator” that sizzles. Next is a story involving two couples in the Caribbean for Rand R and sex. Then there is a story of three men and a woman, with two men in a relationship finding happiness once more. Or for those of you who enjoy stories about werewolves, there is a story of two male werewolves and a woman. Of course there should be a story involving swingers and there is, a story about a Halloween party for swingers. There is a story about a ménage-a-trois and revamping a partnering schedule. And there are two more shape-shifter stories: one involving a woman, a vampire and a werewolf and another with a woman and two more werevolves. All in all, a delicious treat of fantasies.
