REVIEW

"A fantasy made real by four talented authors"

The Widow's Auction by Sabrina Jeffries. Widow Lady Isobel lives a proper life until the boredom finally convinces her to sell herself at a club's widow's auction. Lord Justin buys her for an evening of pleasure that turns into much more. Though straight out of the sub-genre guidebook, this is a fun Victorian romance that fans will enjoy.

Luisa's Desire by Emma Holly. In the seventeenth century Luisa the vampire treks to a Tibetan monastery to learn spiritual techniques to control her need for human blood. Martin, the monk helps her, as he loves her. Though a bit too serious in tone for this type of tale, this supernatural romance is worth the bite.

Mr. Speedy by Elda Minger. Female reporter Miranda poses as a man to attend a "how to seduce women" seminar. She plans to write an expose, but her weekend roommate Jake plans to do the same thing. Though not a fantasy, this speedy tale is an amusing story.

The Awakening by Christine Feehan. In Borneo, Maggie and Brand are cat people who love each other. However, poachers endanger their relationship as the two endangered heroes rumble in the jungle with the deadly outsiders. This tale is an exciting fantasy suspense.

SUMMARY

You have nothing to lose but your inhibitions...

In these four new novellas by today's hottest romance writers, a Victorian widow auctions off her most prized possession: herself...a beautiful jungle explorer discovers her own wild side...a bloodthirsty beauty gives in to her darkest desires...and a young woman turns an all-male academy into a school for seduction.

The Awakening
Christine Feehan

Leopard: Book 1 (Novella)

Maggie returns to the place of her birth and her world suddenly turns into a sensual, but dangerous delight. The rainforest holds secrets of her birthright and a mysterious man, as predatory as any of the animals, waiting in the very heart of the jungle for her arrival.

Under the blazing heat of the Borneo sun . . .

. . . a beautiful naturalist's dream comes true -- to live among the feral jungle creatures. But an untamed, irresistible beast of another sort forces her to explore her own wild side.

The Widow's Auction by Sabrina Jeffries

The widowed Isobel Lamberton, Lady Kingsley, and Justin Antony, the Marquess Warbrooke, clash over the running of a charity they both oversee. But secretly Isobel is attracted to the marquess, even though she knows her dark past and his political aspirations would prevent them from being together. Then Isobel's friend and fellow widow talks her into participating in a scandalous auction of masked merry widows at a gentlemen's club. When the fearsome marquess actually bids on her, she's torn between panic and an urge to give in to her desires for just one night.

Justin has other reasons for being at the club than the widows' auction—until a beautiful masked woman named "Bella" speaks. Realizing she's the same Lady Kingsley who's bedeviled him for months, he sets out to teach the lofty Lady Kingsley a lesson about participating in dangerous private auctions. Instead, she teaches him that appearances can be deceiving, and desire is its own danger. But can he convince Isobel to release her past and embrace a future with a man so different from herself?
