Review by Agapanthus

Yule is here and it’s an especially magical time at Hot River, unless you’re Tarn. He’s a grouch even for a Frost Giant and never fails to complain about the dismal winter mood being ruined by holiday cheer.

Old Man Winter has spent ages providing beautiful frosty weather but he’s rarely allowed to join in the fun surrounding it. People look at him in fear and awe, never thinking he might want to join in the festivities.

The sulky frost giant stumbles upon the powerful, lonely and surprisingly passionate winter icon and Tarn finally learns just how enchanting the holiday season can be.

When a grouchy frost giant runs into The Old Man Winter more than just snow flies in this fun romp through a winter wonderland by Kate Hill. Both men are outcasts, one due to his job, the other due to his lineage but together they find a surprising connection that fills the cold winter with some serious heat.

Kate Hill has taken winter to an entirely different level and truly humanized the fabled “Old Man Winter” in this short story. Average delivery time is 10-12 sildenafil generic canada working days. It helps boost immune system by improving cialis for sale uk cell functions. It is generic tadalafil tablets icks.org also known as a reason of breakup, divorces or dying relationship. Consume this capsule with tadalafil online uk a glass of milk to get rich, thick golden yellow kesar badam milk. Part of the Gingersnaps collection, a steamy series that I have truly enjoyed reading, and reviewing, Sugarplums gives you a glimpse into a frigid land of ice and snow, and shows you that love can lay in the most interesting and unexpected places.

Well written and vividly worded Sugarplums is a fine addition to the ever popular Gingersnaps series. The characters are well developed and interesting though I have to admit that m/m is not my particular forte the erotic scenes in this short were written in a way that made them easy to read through, vivid but not vulgar. A good read and a good addition to the series.

Review by Viscaria

They are Satyrs, men endowed with legendary carnal knowledge who demand total and complete control with their sexual prowess.

A Night Of Bliss

Emma anxiously awaits her husband’s return home to Tuscany on Calling night. She hopes that the night-long copulation will draw them closer together for she questions whether they truly love one another. But when Carlo arrives, injured in battle and unable to perform, she learns she must mate instead with Dominic, a lusty, royal Satyr. It is a night of hedonistic passion that leaves her wanting much, much more.

A Moment Of Rapture

Like other Satyr lords, Vincent is driven to mate from dusk to dawn every Calling night. But as a bachelor, Vincent must conjure a female from the mist who will satisfy his sexual needs. While his brothers summon a different partner with each full moon, Vincent calls upon the same one time after time. He wants her to experience the same erotic pleasure he feels and one night she does-the magic is real.

Once again, Elizabeth Amber has produced an amazing read. I was once again pulled into the historical, paranormal world that Ms. Amber has created. Dominic and Emma were two very engaging characters that were so obviously meant for each other, that I had a very hard time putting this book down once it was started.

Dominic was never meant to be anything but a weapon for his people. He has lived his entire life knowing what his duty was, and never shirking that duty. Not a man known for his gentleness, he is still drawn to the quiet, bookish Emma. While I didn’t really adore his motivations, as they are less than noble if you look at it from an outside point of view, I did however understand them. As Ms. Amber excels at giving deeper motivations to her characters, the hero in Dominic isn’t really all that apparent when we first meet him. When the honorable, and lovable man emerged I was more than ready to see him find his happy ending with Emma… which he did.

Emma was a sweetheart that I met in the previous books. Younger sister to Jane, I already knew her as a quiet, very smart young woman with an affinity for animals and the everlasting devotion of the people in her life. While her circumstances aren’t quite what I expected, it was great to see such a well-loved character again. I felt as though I was meeting up with an old friend and I was excited to see how her happy ending would come about. Because the seeds eventually decay and stop giving viagra online no prescriptions off radiation, they don’t need to be removed. The exercise used during the recovery process is physiotherapy; it includes the treatment, mending, and the viagra samples repugnance of wounds or handicaps. The penis gain harder erection during the love-activity and functions smoothly without making you levitra pharmacy dismay anymore. It manages the disintegration of the canadian viagra for sale molecule serotonin in the human brain. In her this, her own tale, Emma has become an amazingly perceptive and strong woman who simply wants the same kind of love her sister and “aunts” have found. For someone who has always been perceived as timid and a bit weak I thought she handled her situations better than most of us could hope for if we were ever in the same position. I just adored Emma, and look forward to seeing her again in future books.

The second, shorter tale in this book is no less moving for it’s briefer length. A sort of continuation of Dominic’s tale… several years into the future this story includes progeny of the Satyr. I loved this bonus tale of Vincent, Landon and Cara’s. A completely unexpected story that nevertheless was just as emotionally captivating as all the other much longer stories that came before it. I was pleased to see that Ms. Amber was still able to bring the same quality of storytelling to a shorter story that she does to a much longer one. A definitely welcome bonus to get when I thought the tale was done.

Since I wasn’t expecting to get another glimpse of the people in the Satyr world, it was a great treat to find out that there was this book… as well as future books in the works. Elizabeth Amber’s writing just gets better and better, and I look forward to seeing how her writing and her world evolves with time. Her excellent skill at blending the historical side with the fantasy side of her books takes true talent, and I gladly look forward to more from her. Don’t let us forget that this is an Erotic Romance of the highest quality. While there aren’t the more controversial topics of the previous books, at least in my opinion, make no mistake that the incredible sensuality she brings to table is definitely here in this story as well. The heat she brings to her books with each sensual scene is again evident in Dominic, and made me more than hot under the collar on more than one occasion.

In my opinion, this book was flawless. I never once questioned the reasons behind the plot, and couldn’t even bring myself to wonder as the story pulled me along for the ride from start to finish. Also, the short story at the end of the book just tickled me PINK! A true artist with vivid imagery, Elizabeth Amber is quickly becoming one of my favorite Erotic Romance authors. I wholeheartedly recommend this book, and eagerly look forward to more offerings in any genre from Ms. Amber.

From the moment Victor and Ben met, sparks flew. Victor is a renowned artist, setting up for a showing of his latest work at a prestigious Manhattan art gallery. Ben is the head of the construction crew remodeling the gallery for Victor’s show. Ben doesn’t know much about art, but he knows what he likes. They grate on each other’s nerves until Victor suggests Ben pose for him. Will they give into their destiny or will they tear each other apart?

In this passionate story, two men find more than they are looking for in an art gallery.

Renowned artist, Victor is busy setting up for a show of his latest work when he encounters Ben, the head of the construction crew remodeling the gallery for the show. The two headstrong men butt heads from the very first moment they meet ultimately leading to a passionate relationship. But Victor’s attitude and actions nearly spell the end of their budding relationship.

Things progress quickly between these two virtual strangers in this short read. I have to confess that I found the character of Victor a bit hard to like at first. Within a few minutes of intake you see yourself getting harder and thicker erections. tadalafil india pamelaannschoolofdance.com However sometimes men are not aroused enough which makes it impossible for an viagra for individual to make firm erections. It is available in cialis purchase 15 ml bottles at online stores. An individual can take the medicine hours before the actual intimate activity as an advantage from the long super viagra active time expenditure that you might have to face the challenge of ED (erectile dysfunction) and PE (premature ejaculation?) here we have listed few of the major side effects allied with chronic diabetes. A self-confessed jerk, Victor comes across as arrogant and self-absorbed. The temperamental artist is constantly baiting Ben throughout the story and Ben seems to give in to him. I believe that Victor’s actions are mostly because he isn’t sure how to deal with the feelings that Ben stirs in him and it is as if he is trying to push him away. But he doesn’t really seem to change his attitude and actions as the story and relationship develops. However, he is definitely a complex character who is memorable.

As for Ben, he is a very interesting character full of contradictions who seems to care for Victor a great deal as they grow closer. His reactions and frustrations are understandable considering the situation of the plot. He fascinated me and I would have loved to know more about him.

While these two share a passionate relationship that is undeniable, it would have been nice to see more things beyond the bedroom with them, so to speak. However, I still enjoyed the concept and plot of the story and the contrast between these two characters who are obviously attracted to each other. Their passion is palpable as things rapidly progress between the two men.

With its passionate characters, Eye of the Beholder was an interesting and hot read.

Is there more than magic in the air?

Cassie and Harold have worked together for a long time. Hearing about a great opportunity to do a nude magic show, Harold is all for it but knows that Cassie will need to be too.

Cassie has kept her feelings to herself for so long, now she finally sees her chance to let him know how she really feels but will she regret it or will it be Pure Magic?

Cassie is a magician’s assistant. Harold is the magician. They both have deep feeling for the other but are afraid to show them. Harold gets an unusual offer for them to perform a magic show at an art gallery. Harold tells Cassie all about it thinking that she will turn it down.

When she says yes, the fun begins.

I loved how they verbally spared with all the little quips that were heavy with sexual connotations, all having to do with the show. I could not help but smile when Cassie said that she would be back and shut the door so Harold could properly place the cutouts in the box where she would be naked. Harold, of course, could not reciprocate at that time as he did not want to cut off any certain parts. I also loved the scene in the garage when Cassie lays down on the table that Harold is going to cut off her arms and legs in a trick.

There was true magic in the way Ms. Sorgeson wrote of two co-workers revealing to each other the love they had for one another on stage. I found Pure Magic to be pure enjoyment from start to finish.

The Queen’s Tale by Grace D’Otare

The Queen’s Tale by Grace D’Otare
Publisher: Harlequin Spice
Genre: Contemporary, Historical
Length: Short (53 pgs)

Review by Lotus

To inspire their love-play, Maeve weaves this intoxicating, erotic bedtime tale for her husband.

Queen Philomena’s love-life has been prescribed by duty. Hardly more than a child when she married the aged king, the young widow yearns to experience the ways of love in one singular night of passion before entering another loveless marriage of state. Sent to the Queen’s chamber to “amuse” Her Majesty, Dante is handsome, fascinating…and much too insolent. At first, Philomena is determined to assert her control, but as the night progresses, she discovers pleasures she’d never imagined and surrenders to ecstasy.

I’m going to be completely honest with you: the chance to read stories like The Queen’s Tale is the main reason I voraciously hunt down, devour, and review erotic ebooks. Harlequin and I have had an on-again, off-again love affair for years, but I was happy when they started producing Spice Briefs, because it seemed to be a perfect venue for the archetypal Harlequin story, with lots of sex thrown in to keep things interesting. Grace D’Otare’s tale-within-a-tale of lovers and their games has proven my hunch was correct.

Queen Philomena is the kind of queen you wish existed everywhere: beautiful, generous, politically astute, and genuinely endearing. Her sexual innocence seems to come and go in the story, and D’Otare seems unsure as to how much she wants her heroine to know, but this is a nit-pick about an otherwise solid romantic leading lady. She manages to embody the uncertainty of learning the ways of physical love, and the ambivalence of ruling while being vulnerable to the whims of state and eddies of fate.

And then there’s Dante. In my heart of hearts I know that romance demands an alpha male, taking charge and getting things wrong and oh-so-right, in order to work. You view for more now cialis without prescription can get professional treatments and suggestions from Lee at /. Like baseball, it’s three levitra online page strikes and you’re out. cialis pills wholesale Abnormality or misalignment of the spinal column squeezes the nerves within. Maintain hygiene: To avoid illness and have cost of viagra 100mg a healthy lifestyle with balanced diet and regular exercises. However, that does not mean that I don’t sometimes dream of a leading man with a little something more to offer. But I digress. Dante is a Harlequin leading man, and he makes all the usual mistakes and garners all the usual triumphs that come with that job. Philomena gets him into a couple of interesting positions, though, and no one can deny that he’s lovely to watch.

The one night of sex that Dante and Philomena get is playful, intense, and satisfyingly steamy. Their story in general is somehow both spicy and frothy, as well as slyly romantic. The glimpses we get of Maeve and her husband are tantalizing, and I think I would have liked to see more of them, although as it stands they serve as perfect witnesses to the story of Dante and Philomena. As a great fan of bodice-rippers, royal sex, and light historical tales in general, I cannot recommend this enough. It is full of unexpected fun and mischievous joy, and this makes it the perfect choice for light, hot, romantic reading.

Long ago, mortals worshipped the deities of Olympus , which in turn gave them purpose. Often the immortals mingled with those who pleased them, taking lovers where they wished, but rarely allowing their lives to be affected by them.

In the modern age, with mortals believing in them less and less, quite a few of the Olympians have withdrawn, ignoring the mortal realm completely. Some live partially among the mortals, but return often to Olympus . A select few found themselves fascinated with the mortal world, and chose to completely live among mortals, some even finding love.

Worshiped: Pothos (God of Passion), Himeros (God of Sexual Desire) and the mortal Alicia.

A Wish and a Threesome: Nike, Athena, and the mortal Chris.

Editing only missed a couple of small words but the writing was very good. The vividness of the descriptions easily painted the picture in my imagination and made the story very easy to enjoy.

I would recommend this anthology to anyone who is looking for a short spicy read. A definite keeper and one that would encourage me to seek out other works by the author.

Daniel’s life up until now has been hell. Living with an abusive father who hates what Daniel is has wrecked havoc on Daniel. When Daniel is attacked by two men for being gay, Karl steps in. After taking Daniel home to clean his wounds, a relationship develops between the two.

But everything isn’t fine. Daniel’s father becomes enraged when Daniel tries to move in with his lover.

How can Daniel and Karl find their way in a world where people believe they shouldn’t exist?

Saved from the clutches of a hate crime, Daniel is bound to his savior. But was he saved from the fire only to land himself in the frying pan? Karl, his knight in shining armor takes him home and helps him clean up in an effort to help Daniel avoid the wrath of his disapproving father.

Daniel and Karl are two average guys, for the most part. Despite their entirely different situations in life, you can completely get behind their fight to be together and to just be who they are. Daniel’s struggles with his father, who disapproves of everything in Daniel’s life, is something I believe we can all relate to on some level. Karl’s eagerness to help but desire to support Daniel’s decisions are traits we all hope for in a partner. The bumps in the road of their relationship and real and frightening, and yet, still shallow enough to overcome in time.

A very tender yet intense love story, When I Dream of You, is a great read for those days when you feel like the world is against you. Daniel and Karl’s story will inspire you while it’s also making you steam from the passion they share.

Ryland has loved Gregory for six years, ever since Gregory rescued him from the brink of death. He has also known since then that Gregory is his mate. He’s been old enough for a couple of years now, he just can’t understand why Gregory won’t claim him.

Gregory knew the moment he saw Ryland six years ago that they were mates. Ryland just wasn’t old enough to be claimed. So Gregory bided his time, waiting for Ryland to grow up. But as his desire for Ryland builds, he wonders how much longer he can wait.

Gregory finally claims Ryland, only to learn that by doing so, he has endangered Ryland. Ryland is a tri-omega and needs two mates to keep him grounded and safe. But he hasn’t met his other mate yet, which could be a problem. It could mean Ryland’s life if they don’t find him.

Full of heart and fascinating characters, Forbidden Desires is a wonderful second entry in the Tri-Omega Mates series.

Forbidden Desires tells the story of Gregory, Ryland, and Viktor, three weres who have to learn to share when it comes to their mates or risk the life of one. Despite knowing that Ryland is his destined mate, Gregory has fought his attraction for the young man for years believing he is still too young. Things soon change and you can really feel the love that Gregory has for Ryland as he is willing to do anything to keep his mate alive…even share him with another. But the reality may be more than Gregory can handle and I loved how the author demonstrated this as Ryland finds his other mate making the entire situation more believeable.

Ryland, the youngest of this unusual trio, longs for Gregory and doesn’t understand his hesitation. Gregory’s initial treatment of Ryland leads to self-doubts and insecurities that are easy to understand. Some males experiencing impotence have a total inability to achieve an erection, others have an inconsistent ability to do so, or the ability to achieve erection but you tend to ejaculate real soon after intercourse, you could be cialis buy uk having premature ejaculation. In the later stage when atherosclerosis shows up in the blood, Sildenafil citrate works as PDE-5 inhibitor that works in a similar way to cheapest cialis india. Accredited medical doctors or pharmacy technicians will check the credentials from the script and who has created it, then dispense this cheapest cialis india and you will have to contend with this in your twilight years. It is responsible for the lower body, kidneys, blood and muscles. discount online viagra I couldn’t help but feel for this character who was once beaten and left to die by his family. He sees Gregory’s reluctance as another rejection and Gregory must earn back his trust. Ryland’s insecurities and doubts come across as very real and believable. He is a character that really tugs at the heartstrings with all that he has gone through in his short life and now must deal with.

What Ryland and Gregory don’t count on is that Ryland is actually a Tri-Omega, meaning he needs two mates to keep him grounded and alive. Taking a vacation to deal with this newly discovered fact, they unexpectedly meet Ryland’s other destined mate, Viktor. Viktor is an interesting character who never thought to find a mate who already has a mate. He not only has to deal with the revelation that he must share his mate, but he has to deal with the existing bond and friendship that Ryland and Gregory share.

The author did a fabulous job of bringing these three men to life and making me care about each of them. They each have distinct personalities that seem to mesh very well as they come together, but all three struggle with the idea of sharing and it soon affects their relationships. Jealousy, doubts, and insecurities plague all three despite their obvious love for one another. This added a realness to their unusual relationship as it demonstrated that not everything and everyone is perfect.

I really enjoyed watching the relationships develop and grow throughout the book. The author created three wonderful men that I couldn’t help but feel for as they have to learn to adjust their thinking and plans and get used to each other. The characters truly drive this story as they take you on an emotional roller coaster…it was a ride that I enjoyed every minute of!

Review by Lotus

Lucy Suther is a bartered woman who hates the sight of dust rising up on the road into the Double Nought Ranch. It accompanied her on her bound arrival and bore silent witness to her marriage to a smuggler of flesh and drugs. Now her husband is two months missing and hoped dead, she’s trapped on the remote ranch, and the coyote that killed off her chickens is growing bolder. So, when a sexy stranger claiming to be her brother-in-law drives in on a cloud of dust, she has to wonder — will trusting him earn her a way off the Double Nought or an express ride to a moonlit grave?

Ann Vremont seems to specialize in atmospheric stories of broken characters and love affairs with sharp edges. Coyote’s Woman is a dark, bleak, uneasy tale of two people in a dangerous situation coming together for, really, no good reason. There is no doubting Vremont’s talent and the intrigue of the story itself, but you must be prepared for mystery, confusion, and horror before the end.

Lucy and Shane aren’t very likable people. Or rather, maybe they would be if we ever got to know them well, but the narrative style Vremont has chosen for this story makes that difficult. The narrative is split between Lucy’s first person point of view, and Shane’s perspective in third person. Lucy gives the reader information on her past and her current thought process, but refuses to indulge in any enlightening introspection, except for meditating on how Shane is both extremely hot and mad as a hatter.

When the third person narrative follows Shane, we learn sketchy details of his past, why he’s at the ranch, and what his motivations are. Other click that buy viagra online advantages of using epimedium sagittatum include curing impotence, preventing fatigue, relieving back pain and curing memory loss.

He’s an attractive alpha-male whose intentions are rarely honorable, and whose one saving grace seems to be that he wants Lucy, for whatever reason.

The love story between Lucy and Shane is difficult and complicated. This is not a happy little book, and the only moments of color or happiness come from the lust of the two protagonists. But this is where the complication comes in. The dry despair and almost emotionless wanting of Lucy and Shane may serve to alienate them from the reader, but these elements really are the centerpiece of Coyote’s Woman. Their coming together is a little artificial, but you can feel the tug between them, and it really is the saving grace of the story.

Now, perhaps you are wondering, after all this criticism and concern, why I gave this story three cherries. It’s because I want you to read it. Even though I have legitimate problems with a number of plot and character elements, and even though it can be a depressing read, it’s stayed with me ever since I read it, and the ending does reward you for journeying with these people through all their dark times. So, yes, I’m recommending it, but I wanted you to know what you were getting into first.

Ron Tayvail has guarded the grave of Matthew Hardesty for years. When he learns of Brandon’s interest in the legend of “The Vigilant Soldier”, he’s determined to dissuade him from any deeper investigation.

This was a fascinating story combining so many elements into one cohesive and addicting story. You have paranormal aspects relating to the legend of The Vigilant Soldier, mystery surrounding it all, a steamy passionate love story that lives in both the present and the past. The story of Matthew Hardesty in itself was enough to keep me reading, however the story unfolding between Brandon and Ron is just as intriguing. Ron constantly keeps Brandon on a leash, feeding him bits and pieces of the story he so desperately needs to know; Brandon forces himself to remain objective no matter how hard it becomes.

The Sweet Flag is the perfect story for anyone who loves a good old-fashioned ghost story with a twist and a half!
