Dark, dirty, dangerous ... lawless.
This is a twelve story anthology about all the sexy lawless couples you could possibly dream of. The one thing they all have in common is a lot danger and a lot of sexiness. These would be great to read before some alone time with your other half or with them! The King of South Side by Loralynne Summers Gentleman Jackson by Nicola Cameron Hungry Eyes (The Covenant) by Gwendolyn Casey Vandal by Amber Morgan Given to a Killer by Sam Crescent Angel Mine by Maia Dylan Kiss of Death (Dark Heart) by Sandra Bunino Hitman's Seduction by Olivia Starke Hitman's Angel by Elyzabeth M. VaLey Eli Logan's Return by Lila Shaw Trust by Kait Gamble The Last DiLuca by Beth D. Carter I can only say I had hard time picking just one story as my favorite. They each are perfect for romantic suspense readers such as myself. If I had to pick just one…damn I can’t! It’d be a three-way tie between Angel Mine by Maia Dylan, Kiss of Death by Sandra Bunino and Hitman’s Angel by Elyzabeth VaLey. They had the best stories that really packed a punch in such a short span. I wasn’t so crazy about the MC stories. Maybe because lately they all seem to have the same plot? One thing all the stories did deliver on was the sexy factor! Yummy! If you’re looking to get a glimpse into some sexy stories but not commit to anything too long, Lawless should already be on your tbr list! This is a collection of short stories where the best bad boys are featured. This collection has six short stories about Bad Boys. Some I loved, some I liked but overall all, a great collection of stories. I gave this a 4 because I felt that the boys in each story weren’t as bad as I was hoping. To me they were a little tame especially for what the title offered.
Unrepentant by Lila Shaw: Amy Burns has won the lottery, but instead of this being good her family is driving her crazy with wanting a handout. She moves west for a new start. This is where she meets Jazz at the local gym. The two form an instant attraction however she is unsure if she can trust him since he’s an ex-con. I really liked the story. Great story and the chemistry between the two was off the charts. Over the Edge by Stella Berkley: Roman wants Sloane, the only problem is that she has belonged to his best friend. So that makes her off limits. Sloane wants Roman and all the kink he has to offer, however he won’t touch her because she used to be with his best friend. Then one night changes everything for them. This is another good story for me. I love the inner struggle Roman has with himself wanting to do the right thing but yet not wanting to give in to Sloane. All in all a great story. Death’s Angel by Kastil Eavenshade: Constantine, an incubus is hurting. Four years ago he lost his love because of a vampire. Now he has vowed revenge. Constantine has managed to get captured and is tortured and teased. This is where he meets Indira, she is half-werewolf. The two of them must stay together if they want to escape and survive. However the overwhelming lust they feel consumes them and they end up together, surprising them both. This is the only paranormal story out of the six and I liked it a lot. You have two different species that work well together. Made for a great read. Finding Forever by Lynn Burke: Sam is a love them and leave them kind of girl. One day at the supermarket, a god like Zeus walks in and she wants a piece of him. However when she discovers this god is Jason, the boy who drove her teenage hormones wild she decides to have a little fun. After one night together it seems they can’t get enough of one another. I enjoyed this story. Long lost crush comes back and they see where it goes. All in all a great read. Temptations of the Cage by R. Brennan: Katrina needs a job to help support her ailing grandmother. So she applies for a job as a waitress for a local BDSM club. This is where she meets owner Damien. The two of them have an instant connection however he doesn’t date the employees so she must decide, her job or the man? I liked this story. The inner struggle Katrina has kept me in suspense. The two have great chemistry and I wanted to see them explore it. Another great read for me. Without Words by Lolly Tova: Ivy is heading to her high school reunion. She is dreading this since most of it was awful due to her classmates tormenting her. Her only bright time there was Ollie. Ollie now a famous rock star snags an invite to the reunion for only one purpose, Ivy. He wants to make sure that she is righted by all the people who did her wrong. Ollie has been in love with Ivy since school and nothing has changed. The two embark on something wonderful together. This is another favorite of mine. Ollie and Ivy are great together. Title: Uniform Fetish
Authors: Doris O’Connor, Sandra Bunino, Susan Hayes, Lila Shaw, Moira Callahan, Donina Lynn, Evie Knight, S.J. Maylee, Wren Michaels, Meredith J. Scott Genre: Contemporary, Anthology, Erotic Length: Novel TBR Reviewer: Cecile Stars: 5 Stars - A Must Read! Heat Level: 3/5 - Blush Worthy This was a MF anthology involving uniformed love interests. From a fireman, to law enforcement, military men, a female doctor, and NCIS/Federal Agents this book is HOT. The men had one thing in common: Domination. The women didn’t know what spanked them (literally in some stories), which was done in an enticing and enjoyable manner. The writing was believable, the love stories happily ever after, and the characters easy to fall in love with. While the women were submissive in the bed they were all strong women outside of the romantic relationship and it was easy to see how the men fell for them. It would be a difficult thing for me to name a favorite among these, as they were all very good. I will say that Doris O’Connor’s story of a fireman Dominant saving a submissive named Cat from being stuck on her ledge was a great opener. Rhys was a sizzler from beginning to end (pun intended) and it was a wonderfully done Happily Ever After. I give this Anthology 5 stars for it’s complete and utterly uniform (see what I did there) sexiness. The scenes were all very well done, without being trite. The relationships were believable even when the characters didn’t know each other long. There were some common themes (other than uniforms and dominance) that I enjoyed as well. Wild West Succubus Author: Lila Shaw Length: 59 Genres: Erotic Romance, Contemporary, TBR Reviewer: Shyla Rating: 3 Stars - A Good Read. Heat: 2 - Flirty. Wild West Succubus is a surprising tale of loss and redemption. A Succubus in the late 1800’s, Mrs. Priscilla is a strong willed woman, bucking the norms of society. Which I genuinely appreciated! I love strong heroines, and role reversal in a gender dominated career field or time. Running the ranch left to her when her husband died, Priscilla rules with an iron fist and keeps her extracurricular activities on the down low. After a horrendous incident when she first came into her powers, she strives to keep a balance, skimming life forces here and there to stave off the never ending hunger constantly clawing at her insides. She’s got things under control until a handsome drifter named, Hugo, waltzes in and threatens to break her resolves. While I understood her difficult position, I found her coldness of putting. The more we got to see of her background, the more I thawed toward her, but I felt like it came too late in the story to honestly convert me into a fan. Hugo isn’t what he seems to be. Sexy, righteous, and under commands from a higher source, he fights tooth and nail to keep things between him and Priscilla on a platonic level. There’s nothing sexier than a good man who believes in cause, has an ass that would tempt an angel, and eyes that see through to your soul. Hugo is the very definition of a hero, but I never got to see what actually made him tick. I felt he was a deep well we only scratched the surface of. I felt their was a lack of connection between Hugo and Priscilla. I felt the lust and want, but with her being a Succubus I wanted to see a clear distinction. So I gave this three stars versus four. With the short length, I think Ms. Shaw did an excellent job of creating a unique story, full of twists and turns. She painted a clear picture of life in that time. I love glimpses back in history. Purchase HerePrometheus Unstitched by Lila Shaw Genre: Contemporary, Superhero, Erotica Length: Novella Rating: 5 stars – A Must Read Heat: 5 – Orgasmic What’s a girl who makes superhero costumes going to do when a hero makes her anger rise, lust overwhelm and can change her silver streaks? He also faints at the sight of blood and someone is trying to kill her. You have to read this book. Simple. It is freaking fabulous! So humorous and hot, what a wonderful read. I’ve never read any story with this plot, or anything similar. Superheroes (the B rated kind), humor, action, hot and well developed characters. Did I mentions the sex? Setting your Nook/Kindle/Computer on fire. So hot. Lila Shaw delivers a flawless story with Prometheus Unstitched. Purchase HereSuccubus Steam by Lila Shaw Genre: Steampunk, Erotica, Paranormal Length: Short TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest Rating: 4 stars – A Recommended Read. Heat: 4 handcuffs – An Erotic Ride. This was an interesting short story about a woman desiring a man but finding too many big flaws, such as sucking the power from her, so she creates her own version on him. Add in some Succubus and some steampunk, you have a really entertaining read. The characters are well-written but a longer story, I think, would have developed them more. Still, they are very interesting and the author does a wonderful job mixing genre’s without skipping a beat. I loved the steampunk elements and the paranormal succubus bits. It was really was creative. The sex, well, let’s go with freaking hot! Succubus Steam by Lila Shaw is a steampunked paranormal gem! Purchase HereVixen and the Pea by Lila Shaw Genre: Fantasy, Erotica Novella TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest Rating: 5 Stars Heat: 5 - Orgasmic I loved Vixen and the Pea. It’s part of Evernight’s Naughty Fairy Tale line and this was fantastic. It was super sexy with a deep layer of sensual. The characters were fantastic. I immediately liked ‘Fleur’ and found her interaction with ‘Bero’,the prince in disguise, entertaining. The plot was well done and I read this rather quickly because couldn’t put it down! I could go on and on about this book but I’ll leave potential readers with this: Vixen and the Pea is a wicked twist on a tame fairy tale and Lila Shaw wrote her heart out. Don’t hesitate, read this book! PURCHASE HEREAll’s Fair in Love and War by Lila Shaw Novel Romance, contemporary TBR Reviewer: Brutally Honest Right from the beginning I knew this was going to be a winner. Shaw swept me up into a romantic world of love and war. The writing was excellent, the characters fantastic but what stole the show was the tension between Shelby and Colin. That fighting the attraction was so well done and made for such an engaging read. I loved the dream sequences, they were titillating, super romantic and funny. The side characters such as Shelby’s brother was a great addition. The dynamics between them kept the flow going. I can’t say enough good things about this book. All’s Fair in Love and War is one of the best contemporary romances I’ve read in a long time! Purchase Here![]() As the temperature drops, the women in this collection of stories find naughty and delicious ways to warm up for the holidays. A boss with a proposal to make her sweat, a promise from an Italian assistant, a cabin in the middle of nowhere with two men waiting to cater to her every desire, a special surprise for a lonely solider... All of these encounters and more from ten talented authors. Get ready for some holiday loving...Evernight style. ReviewJust because you grow up doesn´t mean Santa is not keeping an eye on you. I enjoyed these 10 Holiday themed stories about men and women who definitely made both the nice and naughty list. The proposal by London Saint James Grace is having one of those days where nothing seems to go right. She oversleeps, her bitch of a boss is in a bad mood and things just seem to tumble downhill as the day goes on. That is until she gets a proposal she just can´t refuse from co-worker Dravin. We have all had those days where everything seems to go wrong. I just wish that my bad days ended as orgasmic as Grace´s. This story feels like such a teaser, setting up a nice and hot mood between Grace and Dravin. At the end I just feel like I want more, more, more. Chasing Miss Kringle by C.R. Moss Jack Vorst is not feeling the holiday spirit, and has stopped Believing in his own happiness and love. He spends all his time immersed in his work as a PI. The firm he works for handles not only regular bail jumpers, but paranormal occurrences too. When Jack meets beautiful and mysterious Kristina Cristkindle, the feelings he had long since forgotten resurface. This was a sweet read where Jack finally found the person to make him feel something again and Kristina found someone who liked her for who she is and not just for what she can do. The mystery in the story is of course only a mystery to Jack. The reader definitely knows what is going on from the start. An overall sweet read with some good hot elements. Snow Angel by Jezebel Jorge Up and coming romance novelist Minerva Madison has lost her inspiration to write. She has been signed on for two more books and is feeling the pressure from both her publisher and fans. When she lands her car in a pile of snow on Christmas Eve she is rescued by a gorgeous Good Samaritan named Brian Carson. Two strangers meet and have one night together. Still I can feel that connection and tenderness between them. My one complaint about this story is that it was full of spelling mistakes. Take those out and this is a steamy and romantic Holiday story. Naughty & Nice by Lila Shaw We all know that Santa has a workshop where toys for kids are made. What few people know though is that the workshop also has a Succubus/Incubus department to cater the needs of the adults on Santa´s nice list. Succubus Chrissy is sent to a remote and isolated island where Captain Marcus Torino and Lieutenant David Ramsey are stationed on a secret spy mission. Chrissy is sent there to deliver a sexy Christmas present to the one of the two men who is on Santa´s nice list. I think this extra department of Santa´s is a fun idea. With a succubus as a main character one can only expect lots and lots of sex and this story doesn´t fail to deliver that. The twist in the end was interesting, although it made me a little confused about the characters involved. What I am certain of, being on Santa´s naughty list is not such a bad thing. Making the naughty list by Seleste Delaney When Daisy was a teenager she was rescued from a life on the streets and got an employment with Santa himself. A job with many perks including an insane retirement package. She is given a special mission from Santa that sends her to a club in a sparkly cocktail dress, high heels and no underwear. The only thing she knows is that she is looking for Gage Thomas, who needs help getting off the naughty list. When she finds Gage she is entranced by the man, but seems to end up with more questions than answers. I really liked this story. It had just the right mix of good and likeable characters, romance, hot sex and a little mystery. There are some side characters that seem to be important, but never really make it into the story. It´s not really a big thing and didn´t disturb the story that much, but it still sort of left me hanging. A very naughty Christmas by Carolyn Rosewood Nita has had a tough year. Not only did she find out that her husband has been living a double life with another family, she also lost her job. When she gets lost in a snow storm she sees a house where she hopes to find a phone and some directions. Never could she know that she would find so much more. She is invited in by the house´s two residents Alex and Cameron, two very attractive, willing and caring men. Lucky for Nita she doesn´t have to chose between the two, as they come as a two for one package deal. This was one of the more erotic stories of the bunch. Even though the story is mainly focused on sex I still feel the deeper connection between Nita and the guys. The story and the relationship between the characters are based on some strange coincidences and it walks a very fine line between creepy stalker and sweet devoted guys. Promises by Xondra Day Leda James really hates the holiday season. Having no nice childhood memories of the Holidays it is just a stressful time. She just doesn´t do the family thing and declines an invitation to spend Christmas with her very nice and very handsome employee at the bakery, Joey, and his family. She has long tried to ignore her attraction to Joey, but when they are snowed in together, they just can´t resist the temptation of each other. Now it is up to Joey to show Leda that the Christmas Holidays can indeed be a wonderful, happy and sexy time. This was a decent short story and I am glad that Joey and Leda got caught in the snow storm so they could share some time together. Santa´s little helper by Kelly Yeakle Miranda Wilson is a spoiled party girl and her father has had enough. If she wants to keep her trust fund she has to find a job, prove that she can be responsible and make something of herself. However, having no experience at all makes it hard to find a job, especially so close to the Holidays. Luckily Craig Davis, owner of a department store, takes pity on her and gives her a job as a helper in Santa´s photo booth. When Craig and Miranda give in to their mutual attraction, Miranda has to prove not only that she can be responsible and keep a job, she also needs to show Craig that she can be serious in a relationship and plan for a future. I liked the building romance between Miranda and Craig. Even though Miranda is pretty spoiled and a little naïve, she isn´t mean or stupid, so she is quite likeable to start with. A light and engaging story that really makes me root for Miranda. Mistletoe Masquerade by Alaska Angelini Jeanie is tired of being the shy and insecure girl. An invitation to a Holiday Masquerade party from a secret admirer gives Jeanie just the chance she has been waiting for. With the security of hiding behind a mask she gets a chance to reinvent herself and let go of her inhibitions. It turns out that she has not only one, but two secret admirers, Jared and Edward. The story starts down one path, doesn´t really follow through and then takes a turn and starts down another one. After this rocky start the story gets going and the heat level rises. It ends with sweet and naughty satisfaction. Letter to Santa by Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy It all starts with a Christmas wish and a letter to Santa. Elise doesn´t want to be alone for Christmas and hopes that a letter to Santa will help her. When the door bell rings on Christmas Eve and Elise opens the door to a man resonating with sex appeal she is certain he is her Christmas present. When she invites Nicholas in her house and in her bed she never expected to find a man that she wants to keep for more than just the Holidays. The erotic part of the story took off very quickly. The rest of the story and explanations came later. This is something that I normally do not like, but the author managed to catch my attention, throw me into the story and I definitely bought it. It is nice to know that a Christmas wish and some good karma can give you what you need. Purchase Here+BIG Giveaway Paranormal, Erotica, Anthology - Novel TBR reviewer: Luta Wolf BlurbNo matter what your fantasy, these sinfully naughty tales are certain to keep you reading late into the night... Midnight Seduction is an exclusive collection of erotically charged stories by thirteen talented authors. From dark angels and vampires, to ghosts and kelpies, this anthology is sure to please paranormal romance lovers everywhere. Fulfill your wanton desires and escape into a world where anything is possible. ReviewThe creatures that live in the night come out to play but instead of terrifying, their out to seduce. What do you do when a nightmare become fantasy? Thirteen tales sure to give you the shivers but is it out of fear or passion? Going Berserk by Alexandra O'Hurley A berserker has waited a long time to find his mate but he has to save her from his enemies before he can have her. As if that isn’t enough, he has to some how convince his human mate that she isn’t going crazy. I loved the plot, when do you ever read about a berserker outside of Norwegian legend that is? Add to the fact that the characters were really in-depth despite this being a short story. The author completely get’s across to you, Jakob’s need for solace and Kara’s compassion and heart. I did feel that the story ended rather abrupt, I waited for the To Be Continued sign but it never came. That aside it was a wickedly, fun read. Bad Things by Luxie Ryder What’s a girl to do when she finds herself stranded alone at a Halloween party surrounded by vampires. Find the sexiest vampire and have him protect her of course! I can’t express how much I love Keisha. She’s feisty, a scaredy cat, and just plan fun. She the type of girl you meet and know your going to be instant friends with. Tobias is just plain sex on a stick with a chivalrous alpha attitude. This was a fun read that had me fanning my face and not all of that was because I was laughing. The Yearning by Emma Shortt When you go looking for a vampire on Hollow’s Eve, you might not get what you were expecting but instead you might find yourself in the arms of the wrong monster. This vampire isn’t as gentle as the last one and Sarah quickly realizes that she just might not survive to see another Halloween. The plot was interesting, full of details, and the heat factor was really hot. I got Sarah, I got why she did something incredibly stupid. I loved how protective Anton is even when it comes to himself. What I didn’t understand was the pull that they had for each other. It’s a small thing that really didn’t take away from the story but left me with some questions. All together I enjoyed this story especially as it stepped away from the normal vampire romance plot. Trixie's Treats by Kelly Yeakle. Be Warned: f/f interaction What’s a witch to do when she’s lonely. Cook up a spell of course! But things don’t go as expected when Trixie put’s the spell on the wrong person. Is it a mistake or fate? I really enjoyed the start of the story, it was fun and easy with tons of details. I didn’t necessarily like Trixie at the beginning between her narcissism and selfishness, however I found some redeeming qualities by the end and she was just so in-depth that you completely got her. Trent was a mess of contradictions but he was the underdog you can’t help rooting for. This was really a good story except for one thing, the use of the word Wicca. If the author had just stuck to the word witch than I could have easily just enjoyed the fantasy but as soon as the word Wicca was brought in, I became insulted. Wicca has a strict set of codes that Wiccans adhere to. While there are spells, there isn’t any as described in this story, that still could have been easily overlook. However, what I couldn’t overlook was the disrespect towards a Wiccans belief in threefold. It is essential to the Wicca’s belief as the bible to a Christian. Personally I found the use of this religion in the story without knowledge of the religion rather offensive. Ghost of a Chance by Carolyn Rosewood Tess’s aunt has died and left her house to all of them. Tess heads to the house on Halloween to find out once and for all if the house is haunted. If the man in the painting that’s haunted her fantasies for years is more than just her imagination. When Jack shows up, Tess isn’t sure she is as brave as she once thought. The plot is captivating with intricate details of family, betrayal, and spells. I also really enjoyed the characters. Jack is a charming rouge who must redeem himself in order to ever know happiness again. You love him all the more for his imperfections. Tess is a normal girl that longs for the normal life but none of the men she finds can ever hold a candle to the fantasies that have always haunted her, you can easily feel her longing. There was just so much in this story that I was really surprised by the rather choppy ending. Despite the ending, this was an awesome read and I look forward to reading more from this author. Shadows of Desire by Pepper Anthony Roderick writes horror but it doesn’t mean he believes in it. When Philippa comes to investigate the haunted house she finds the home owner to be a complete non-believer. However the disbelief quickly changes to belief as the house picks up activity. What could the ghosts be up to by trapping them in the house? I loved Philippa’s character, who has this amazing ability to always look on the bright side. She’s full of spit but it’s well hidden behind the cheerfulness. Roderick starts of full of staunch and all grumpy, he just wants to write his book and be left alone. However, this quickly wanes in the face of Philippa’s charm. While he isn’t instantly smitten, thanks to the ghosts it’s not long before he is ensnared. Besides being an interesting read chalked full of details, it’s also hot. The steam literally rises off the pages. The only thing I hated about the story was that it ended, it was just that good. Midnight Masquerade by D. F. Krieger Anya longs for something but it’s just out of her reach despite being a witch. She doesn’t know what it is that’s she is longing for until the masquerade ball. There she meets him, Master. Can she let go over her fear, have faith and embrace her fate. I’m still shivering from this story and it isn’t out of fear. It speaks to all of us who can’t help but believe in fate but are tempered by logic. When do you take a chance instead of treading carefully? Master is domineering without being brutish, there are slight traces of vulnerability that made the story all the more sweeter. Anya is vulnerable and submissive but we find out quickly that doesn’t mean cowardly. Everything about this story was intriguing. I highly recommend to those that like mystery with their paranormal. Kissing Darkness by Fionn Jameson What happens when the hunter becomes the hunted and it wasn’t even intentional. Willa has hunted incubuses, they’re ways might be seductive but they are still evil monsters that feed off humans. That’s what she has always believed until she meets Pax. Now she must decide if she really believes all incubus are alike and if so, Pax dies. Willa is a wounded soul and doesn’t really know it. Lonely, jaded, vulnerable, and a complete hard ass. Pax is the opposite of Willa, laid back with a take everything in stride philosophy. The story moved so quickly that if you blinked, you’d miss it. However rather than take away from the story the author played it to her advantage and had me on the edge of my seat with excitement. I really didn’t know whether Pax would live or die. I would have loved for this to be longer but since it wasn’t, I’m really hoping we haven’t heard the end of these characters. I can’t wait to read more. Crimson Sin by London Saint James Grace walks this world and the other side. She lives between the two worlds never really feeling complete in either one. The only time she feels complete is in her demon lover’s arms. Many seek to tear them apart. Is there any way for them to survive intact and together? The plot is unique and captivating. It’s darkly disturbing going against what we’ve been taught to believe but that only makes it all the more intriguing. Grace uses her gifts for good, to console the grieving or to find the missing but despite her compassionate loving heart she can’t turn away from her lover, a fallen angel. He is far from good, he is a demon whose turned from God, but his utter devotion and love for Grace makes for a huge redeeming quality to his character. The ending though left me utterly confused and baffled. I re-read several times but still couldn’t come to a conclusion as to what happened to them. Soul Reaver by Kastil Eavenshade Be Warned: involves non-consensual sex Maurizio has no choice but to collect souls for Satan. He doesn’t like it but there is no other alternative for him unless he wants to die. Amanda is the first time that he has touched a soul so pure and it resonates with him but Amanda has secrets of her own that may mean the end of Maurizio. Is there anyway for him to escape from Satan to live a life of his own, with Amanda. Maurizio pulled at my heart strings and continued to do so through out the book. The author did an amazing job of painting a picture of this wounded soul that balanced between good and evil so precariously. I wanted so badly for him to have a happy ending. However his happy ending came at the price of me not liking Amanda. Despite this though, I really enjoyed the story and will read it again because I loved Maurizio that much. Deal With the Devil by Anna Keraleigh Be Warned: anal sex Eryn traded her soul to the devil for revenge on her husband that killed her. Now she haunts the graveyard that she died in, with a kiss she steals souls. When Quinn comes along, he is so unlike any man she has ever met and she begins to re-evaluate what she always believed of them but how can a ghost/demon and a human man have a life together. There are so many things that I loved about this story. The characters are anything but perfect and quite frankly, Eryn would be easy to dislike if you didn’t completely understand how she got to where she was. That is good writing when you can’t help but love a character despite themselves. The plot was a combination of dark and fun. The story ended on a bit of a mystery but it’s written really well in that you don’t feel that your missing anything. I simply felt that the author left some mystery and magic for the readers imagination. My only complaint is the anal sex, it just wasn’t accurate. However this is a small complaint really because I absolutely loved this story! Last Call for Love by Lila Shaw Penn has loved Joe for two years but there is no chance of them being together. She sold her soul centuries ago to never die and now she is an incubus. Her master is a jealous demon that will never allow her victims to remember that she existed. She can’t let that happen with Joe so instead she must resist. Penn is a catty incubus who doesn’t really like other women but you quickly learn that this is more to do with her not liking herself. Despite or more because of being an incubus she is not only jaded but withered with no self-esteem. Seeing her blossom with Joe was beautiful. The ending completely took me by surprise though, in a good way. Which I loved because it so rarely happens. The was a sweet, enjoyable read. Salem by Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy Amelia knows the instant that she sees him that he will mean something to her. That he will change her life. She just isn’t sure if this life altering connection will be good or bad. She begins to start remembering her past life with him but it’s not fast enough to know if she can trust him in this life. The author packed what amounts to a book into a short story. I still don’t know how she managed to make it seem so long. It felt as though it walked right off the pages and began to play as though a movie. I became entranced in the world that she created and could easily feel Amelia’s frustration as she waited but she didn’t know what she waited for. I fell in love with Nat right along with Amelia, He is such a contradiction, he exudes large amounts of confidence and yet with Amelia he is heartbreakingly eager. I don’t have one complaint, this was a joy to read. Excerpt of Deal With The Devil by Anna KeraleighThen I died. My body did. My soul, that was lost. Handed over to the devil. And if that had been the end of Ms. Eryn Derdrum, then I would’ve considered it a righteous conclusion. But the devil is as sly as the stories say. “You are hereby bound to this cemetery.” He spoke but his lips didn’t move. “You’ll find me more souls. With one kiss, they’ll be doomed to the same fate as you.” He bent at the waist. A redskinned hand with long sharp claws pressed against the gaping wound in my chest. “You’ll give me one thousand souls to earn your freedom.” “You bastard.” I tried to express my anger but the words were barely a whisper. “On All Hallows Eve you may revert back to your human form. One day a year, you can roam free, Ms. Derdrum. Until then, you are mine.” The devil laughed and it wasn’t an evil laugh. It was more like a snort, a rumble of sound like distant thunder. I felt the life returning. My body began to convulse, his words rolled around my mind, and then I jerked off my feet. Color drained from my body, and the white gown I’d loved since childhood knitted together. This was the first night of many. My own personal nightmare because of my deal with the devil.
