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.

Keeley McNamara's grandfather is dying, and even her faerie magic can't save him. She'll do almost anything to make his final days happy, even making him think her pain-in-the-ass-but-extremely-sexy boss is the man of her dreams.

Ciaran Clifton is nobody's hero. A Silkie, banished from the sea, his only way back is to prove he can care for someone other than himself. He has no problem "caring" for his quirky new personal chef but every Silkie instinct cries for him to claim her as his mate. To do that, Ciaran fears he'll have to deny his heritage and the sea he loves.

When Keeley realizes just how high a price Ciaran must pay for their love, will she have the strength to let him go?

This is an unapologetically sexual story with a very carnal and sensual leading man. Ciaran is not a perfect hero but he is perfect for Keeley. These are two deeply flawed individuals and I loved how authentic they were and enjoyed watching the changes in each of them as the story progressed. There were a lot of serious elements that were handled sensitively and with a gentle humor. As a lifelong fan of folk tales the paranormal aspects were greatly appreciated. Laura Browning has a fabulous tone that seamlessly weaves scorching passion and sadness and brings to life a fascinating cast of characters that I am looking forward to seeing again. This is one to read if you are looking to be swept up in an impressive adventure.

I was in awe of this beautifully written, touching story.

Stuart Willis is horrified by everything happening around him in Vietnam. The only light in all this darkness is a younger soldier. But this isn’t the ideal place for starting a relationship. He has no choice…he desperately wants this young man.

Richmond Patterson can’t resist his attraction to Stu, doesn’t want to resist. Nothing makes him happier in this awful place than knowing Stu loves him. All is almost perfect until….

This was an extremely short story, but filled with such depth of character and emotion. You don’t want to miss reading this very special romance.

Jimmy Taliafero is bored with his job and not interested in going to an out-of-town workshop to improve his people skills. What he is interested in is a new employee in another department, but he doesn’t know how to approach the man.

Scott Raines has had his eye on Jimmy since he started at the company. His attempts to make his interest known have been too subtle. But he gets a chance to make his intentions really known when he is to attend a workshop with the man he lusts after.

This was a fairly good story of a relationship that really struggles to develop.

If you are looking for a good ménage story with two hot heroes, this is the story for you.

Kelsi has reached a point in her life as daughter of the former pack leader that she must choose a mate. But she has two pack males she is drawn to…until an unexpected problem makes her leave them and her pack.

Keifer and Gage both love Kelsi and want her for a mate…for both of them. But she has disappeared and they search desperately for her. Can they find her? Can they convince her to try something she doesn’t understand?

For a short story, the characters and their conflicts were nicely developed. And the sex…definitely HOT.

Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn…and sometimes it works out.

Nadia is a vampire who struggles with following the rules. This time she went too far and was cast out from her coven, forced to find a way to survive on her own.

Daniel Rebiero is young, commitment-free, and still trying to find where he will fit into the world. His life takes an interesting turn when he meets Nadia and ends up becoming her “blood servant.” Can he make a future with this complicated woman?

The characters are well developed and there are many conflicts that should keep them apart. But the author leads the characters and the readers on a sensual journey while the future unfolds for the unique couple.

This is a really intriguing story into two men’s minds and feelings.  Nathan and Dane are total opposites yet the sparks fly from the very first meeting.  Dane has always considered himself as a Dom yet when Nathan tells him that he sees a submissive inside of him, Dane begins to have second thoughts about his place in things.  At first he only agrees to test his feelings to prove a point but as the two continue to experiment and become closer Dane finds himself with new and confusing feelings.

 

I really enjoyed seeing Dane find himself and finally be able to enjoy himself fully. Nathan is a great man who is always ready and willing to help Dane get through it all. I loved seeing their relationship blossom into the romance that it is. Not only is this book a hot read but it is also a book that makes you think. The characters are full of depth and deep emotions run through the entire book. This is a book highly centered on the men’s BDSM lifestyle but it is also a great book about finding true love.  

Claire Thompson takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions in this book. I truly enjoyed the ride and cannot wait to read more from this author in the future.
