"a little bit of the best of all genres"
One Way to Venice by Rusty Wicks
Who knew that making the embarrassing, time costly mistake
of boarding a boat to the wrong island could work out so
well for Jane Smith. Alone in Italy, she felt she must be
the only one without romance in such an incredibly
beautiful and romantic country. While leisurely strolling
Isola Di San Michele, aka, Island of the Dead, Jane meets
the most handsome and incredible man she's ever seen and
suddenly Italy become romantic indeed, and hot, and steamy
in the arms of Gino Dante. Jane finds so much more than
just deep love and passion... but what becomes of falling
in
love on the Isola Di San Michele?
Rusty Hicks has combined a touching love story with a
wonderfully hot ghost story! Italy comes alive! Destiny's Star by J.T. Schultz
Princess Daria is beautiful and strong and intelligent, but
also she is afraid and devastated at the loss of her
father, a warlock and King. Now the powerful witch Daria
must flee so that she is not the next victim. Prince
Ryland rarely worried about a night alone, he was a prince
and it's good to be the prince! Animal attraction at it's
primal best sent sparks flying the second Ryland laid eyes
on Daria, that is until the were finds out she's a witch.
When danger threatens Daria, Ryland knows he will do
anything in his power as a man and a beast to protect her.
Can two mates be fated to find each other only to lose each
other, will evil or good win this battle of magic?
J.T. Schultz has a winner, the chemistry between witch and
were is truly magic! I highly recommend this exciting
story of good vs. evil and undying love. Faith, Hope and Chastity by B.J. Franklin
She has been in Scotland for a long time, long enough for
all others to know she is strong and what she considers her
territory is just that, her's. She likes young, male
virgins, nothing sweeter. She is beautiful, she is sensual
and she is hunting, for it's Halloween, a great time to be
a vampire. Unfortunately it's also a great night for
another mysterious vampire, dark and seductive, he
encroaches on her prey, her male virgins. Maybe two
powerful vampires can share prey, the young virginal
Andrew?
B.J. Franklin has written a very erotic story in a
wonderful and unique style I found to be intriguing and
mysterious as well as hot sexy. Laws of Nature by Michelle Houston
Shaylee had never been so mad or worried in her life. One
moment she is free and fine and the next facing a terrible
unknown threat to her and her family. In one moment
everything changes, even the boy next door! Garrett has
lived next to Shay for two years, getting to know her and
becoming more moved by her by the day. One simple touch
and they find it's all over but the heat, or is it? Can a
human come to terms with a Were and all that means, and
accept the danger too? A danger trying to see they never
have a chance at finding out.
Laws of Nature is fantastic, animalistic and a very fun
romp, Ms. Houston is a definite read for shape shifter
lovers! Hart and Souls by Bethany Michaels
Jordan Hart, owner of Hart and Souls, a ghost relocation
service, has rarely had a case like this. She has also
rarely had a case that looked this good either, such a
shame that said "case" was a drop dead gorgeous guy,
emphasis on the dead part. Tom didn't feel like he was
dead, in fact, he felt far from dead when he looked at
Jordan. The question they must find an answer to wasn't
what was causing the intense attraction they felt for each
other, the question was what was to become him, of them.
I loved this story! Ms. Michaels has the perfect
combination of wit and wonderful heat, Hart and Souls is a
winner for sure. The Raven's Curse by Shannon Peters
Conlac of Aerie was cursed, turned into stone by an evil
witch; he waited and waited in endless years of stone for
the curse to be lifted. Lexie had started over, finally a
new start in a new apartment, top floor of a wonderful old
castle. There Lexie becomes oddly drawn to the fantastic
statue of a creature on her parapet, but when that statue
becomes the most spectacular man she's ever seen her world
changes forever. Can curses be broken, or does evil win
all the time?
This is a fantastic read, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, it
was tender and incredibly hot at the same time. Ms.
Peter's has created a beautiful tale you simply must read,
I would love to read more tales of the Gargoyles! The Doomsday Incident by Michelle Marquis
Nate Butcher was serving a life sentence, he wasn't sure
what was worse, the sentence or being faced with Maria
Gonzalez day in and day out, not being able to make her
his, that is if this life sentence doesn't end shortly with
their deaths at the hands of alien invaders. As the war
nears, Nate will do anything to keep Maria, to show her his
passion for her passion and hopefully live free and alive.
Very hot and very exciting, I found this to be action
packed, suspenseful and hot all at once, if you like lots
of action Ms. Marquis has it for you and so much more, I'm
hoping there's more to come! Samhain Scorchers Anthology was a great mix of writers
providing you with a little bit of the best of all genres
and styles. There is something guaranteed to please
everyone, if you are like me, you will be greatly pleased
by the fact that a storyline you didn't expect to be one
you pick out, is one you end up really enjoying!
Anthologies are a wonderful way to get a little taste of
each author, and I think each one put forth a captivating
work. I really enjoyed the diversity and I highly
recommend it to lovers of paranormal romance. It spans the
paranormal, vampires, ghosts, werewolves, shape shifters,
gargoyles and aliens, it's got it all. You won't be
disappointed.
