loved it

The author says it all Lora Leigh...you can't go wrong reading one of her books.

Home for the holidays and hot for it.

I thought this was a nice collection of erotic fiction, all set during the holiday. And this is the best time for a little refresher. There are four novellas in all, from some of the leading erotica writers. And all are told very well and have some good spice to them. If you are looking for a diversion right now from the holiday frustrations coming up, get this one. It will take you worlds away. For a quickie, you might also try Sex Scenes: Erotica Excerpts from the Novels of Kim Corum.

Definately HOT for the holidays!

An excellant collection of short stories. Not a bad one in the bunch! A new Mageverse story by Angela Knight that will thrill (hoping for more to come!), Anya Bast & Allyson James wrote solid stories that are hopefully to be followed up by full length novels and the incomprable Lora Leigh gives us another doozy of a breed to drool over. Overall, best collection I've read in a long while.

HOT FOR THE HOLIDAYS certainly brought a little cheer to my grenchiness

VAMPIRE'S BALL by Angela Knight For Kat Danilo Christmastime is an extremely difficult time. Concern about her mother's well being and work consumes all of her time - but this year is different. A woman claiming to be her father's wife has mysteriously appeared and insists that the man whom Kat has never met is none other than Lancet du Lac, Knight of the Round Table. The next thing she knows she's accompanying vampire Ridge Champion to the Mage's Ball in the Mageverse. He'll guide her through the process to find out if she has what it takes to be a Magae - and that's just the beginning of what promises to be a relationship that will last throughout eternity. Angela Knight thoroughly enchanted me with this read. I was captivated by the dynamics between the characters and loved Kat's kick butt attitude. The whole situation with her mother broke my heart but still left me with a feeling that it will be `okay.' A LITTLE NIGHT MAGIC by Allyson James Jamison Kee regrets few things in life as much as he regrets leaving Naomi but he also feels that he had no choice. It's been two long years since he left in search of answers to a stunning revelation that he's a shape-shifter. Now he's returned and Naomi is definitely not pleased - that is until he reveals the reason he had to go ... or why he's returned. Jamison loves Naomi and her deaf daughter, Julie, and he's determined to claim them both as his. The only trouble is someone is out to destroy them. Can A LITTLE NIGHT MAGIC and the wonder of the holidays deliver the joy the all deserve? I admit it; I love shape-shifter stories. Combine that with Native American heritage and beliefs and the result is a thrilling read that touches your heart as well as your imagination. There isn't a single character in this story that doesn't evoke an emotion of one sort or another. Beautifully written. SWEET ENCHANTMENT by Anya Bast Despite Bella's vow to never bond her life with Ronan's it appears that's the only way to save the proud mage from the execution the Summer Queen has planned for him. Ronan has no intention of marrying Bella on her terms - in name only - and rejects her proposal. He has a few tricks up his sleeve still and even though his life might be forfeit Ronan has every intention of making Bella his in every way possible. Does Bella dare risk losing everything for this man? Anya Bast really surprised me with this tale. The characters are highly memorable and have a sense of `self' that draws the reader to them and their plight. What fascinated me was the characters' selflessness in their dedication to each other - they made me sigh and tear up at the same time. A CHRISTMAS KISS by Lora Leigh Imprisoned as a traitor by the wolf breeds, Jessica missed the festivities of the Christmas season last year - and this year she simply isn't feeling much in the spirit of things. She's still not free to come and go as she pleases and under security constantly but things aren't as bleak

four strong fantasies

"Vampire's Ball" by Angela Knight. Single mom Kat Danilo learns two stunners. First she can become a majae magic practitioner and second her absentee father is a vampire. "A Little Night Magic" by Allyson James. Single mom Naomi is taken aback when her former Navajo shaman lover Jamison Kee wants back in her life and that of their daughter. "Sweet Enchantment" by Anya Bast, Bella Mac Lyr's offers to marry mage Ronan Quinn in order to save his life, but he says no. Instead he escapes taking Bella with him. "A Christmas Kiss" by Lora Leigh'. Someone wants Jessica Raines; only her life-mate Breed Hawke Esteban can keep her safe, but she rejects his protection and his need to name her as his out of fear for his life if the killer succeeds. These are four strong fantasies containing deep casts with the holiday bonus of having a Breed and Mageuniverse tale included. Harriet Klausner
