Mermaids attack ships sailing to port. A magical plague caused by malevolent fae grips the countryside. The capital city of Dere is completely cut off from the rest of the kingdom. And Queen Dagmar is pregnant with her first child–and the heir to both the thrones of Niune and of the Faerie Realm.

Cut off from their friends and allies, Pook and Alex must battle their way across a kingdom besieged by forces most folk no longer even believe to be real. Will they survive long enough to discover what has brought on a war between Faerie and the mortal world? Or will the answers they seek come at too high a price?

The Fae have come together and peace reigns over seelie, unseelie and all other fae. Or does it?

Alex and her fae fiancé, Pook are on their way home to Niune where they intend to marry. Alex will then continue her studies and making her inventions while Pook will develop his painting skills. They have recently brought the Fae together to live in peace and after this Pook handed the Faerie King crown over to his brother and all is good.

Mermaids interrupt their journey and try to drown them, capsizing the boat and stranding them on the shores of an unknown land. They try to find their way home only to find the country is in the grip of plague.

Alex and Pook are fascinating characters as is the talking cat, Bug. Although Pook brought the Fae together and even sat on the throne for a very short time, he’s quite naive in both fae and the human world. Alex, with only the minutest amount of seelie in her, is a very practical young lady and she and Pook make a brilliant couple, complementing each other perfectly. Their companion on this journey, Bug, is pretty funny. He has the hunting and animal instincts of a cat, but can talk, although it’s definitely a catlike way of talking.

I did get confused at times as there was so much action and many minor characters who occasionally dominated the scenes. I’m still confused about how they travel from fae to human world. That aside, I enjoyed this book. It’s different from the usual tales of mermaids, elves and the like, different in a positive way. More like a fairy tale written for adults.

For those who like mystical worlds this is one you should read as it has a distinct way of taking the reader into the story and holding them there.

Wicked Reflection by Hank Edwards

A sexy bad-boy neighbor, a handsome detective investigating an unsolved murder, and ghostly warnings help Kirk uncover the deadly secret within his new house.

Best friends and landscaping entrepreneurs Mitch Sterling and Colby Merritt enjoy their comradeship. Can scouting country roads for business opportunities unveil a lifetime of passion?

The Park At Sunrise by Lee Brazil

First they were three, now they are two. Can Jason and Morgan make a relationship work without Paul?

Five wonderfully talented authors prove that rewards come when you lose control, heed timely advice, give second chances, stop for a swim, and keep an overdue promise.

Harper’s Discovery by Em Woods

A sensual dance at a night club is only the beginning of the tango Harper and Pitt are pairing up for. Ms. Wood builds the tempo in this sexually charged short, dials it back down and immediately turns the heat right back up. Not unlike a roller-coaster, you’ll walk away a little breathless. Harper puts up a good front that he doesn’t need a new boyfriend after he tells his ex to hit the bricks. That’s fine because Pitt isn’t looking for a part-time playmate either. I thought Pitt put it succinctly when he said “You are mine. And tonight I’m going to show you why.” Ms. Woods has become one of my favorite M/M writers because of her characterization and clever story lines. Harper’s Discovery is no exception. The story line of Pitt and Harper becoming a couple is hot with some mild BDSM elements but there’s a whole other sub-plot that she sneaks in that gives their novella real substance. Dynamic chemistry is good but it’s how they deal with “life” outside the bedroom that proves their worth.

Wicked Reflection by Hank Edwards

Moving into a house with a history can be an exciting new venture or, in Kirk’s case, a paranormal adventure with potentially deadly consequences. Strange mirror messages are the least of his worries when things that go bump in the night turn out to be flesh and blood who have no qualms with spilling more blood. Who can Kirk trust? The sexy bad boy neighbor, Alan, comes on fast and strong but he clearly has a past. Whereas, Detective Lance is asking a lot of questions but he seems interested in keeping Kirk safe while solving a year old murder case. Someone isn’t telling the whole truth but they both know how best to distract Kirk from digging too deep. Author Hank Edwards doesn’t just tease you with a quick glance into these characters lives even if this is a short story. Wicked Reflection is the longest of the shorts in this collection and the detail is incredible. The minute Kirk receives his first message from beyond I was hooked to see who was communicating with Kirk and why. The story takes several twists and turns but it all comes together in an exciting and satisfying conclusion.

Harlan’s Ryde by Haven Fellows

Who could blame Harlan for wanting to throw Ryder out of his house ASAP when he shows up out the blue seven years after ripping Harlan’s heart into tiny unrecognizable pieces? Too bad it’s that not quite mended organ that also suddenly beats a little stronger when Ryder goes all smirky alpha on him. I had a love/annoyed relationship with Ryder. I couldn’t hate him but I was very upset with the way he stomped all over poor Harlan’s sincere proposal in the beginning. Having said that, they were college kids at the time. They’re expected to do stupid stuff, right? When he puts time, effort and money into finding Harlan, though, I had to give him a pass. Seriously, this guy is so sure (and yet unsure) of himself I couldn’t decide if I wanted to laugh or sock him in the arm on Harlan’s behalf. In the end I decided to simply keep reading and see how Harlan would handle him. I knew it would take a lot more than sweet talk to win Harlan over but as Ryder himself put it “I do love a challenge”. Ms. Fellow’s writing is so fun and vivid it was easy to see that Harlan and Ryder had both matured over the seven year separation. Harlan may be drawn to Ryder like a bee to honey but he didn’t make it easy on him. If you follow Ms. Fellows on the social sites you can hear her vivacious personality come through in her characters dialogue and chemistry. She’s mentioned that her first solo project will be out soon. The new story details Harlan’s best friend, Ritchie’s journey to what’s sure to be a snarky but fun HEA. After meeting him here, I can’t wait to see how he gets there! You don’t want to miss Harlan and Ryder’s story. It’s clever, heart warming and a delicious sampling of a terrific story teller.

Off The Beaten Path by JR Boyd

Is there a better beginning for a forever relationship than two people who have been best friends since childhood? They know all about one another: The good, the bad and all the reasons to take a chance to see if the feelings are mutual. Mitch and Colby are best buds who have kept their feelings for another a secret far too long. A hot summer day, a dirt road swimmin’ hole and a few beers give them motivation and opportunity to test more than the ponds temperature. Their tentative and teasing touches put me in mind of Robert Frost’s poem The Road Not Taken. The men have come to a point in the relationship where simple friendship isn’t enough anymore but are they willing to take the steps that can never been taken back? Author JR Boyd is unapologetic in his writing M/M stories. When Mitch and Colby mutually decide to pursue the chemistry between them it’s hot, dirty and graphic…with a soundtrack that perfectly sets the mood for this beautiful story. Even before the men act on their sexual chemistry I could feel their bond that began as children. They way they talk to one another, the joking, the impromptu duets; it all gave an honest sense of realism to their story. I could see myself re-reading this later.

The Park at Sunset by Lee Brazil

One of the more solemn stories of this anthology, The Park at Sunset took me back to happier times for three men who loved each other as youth, never considering the future might not hold plans for all three of them together. Morgan had convinced himself that Jason couldn’t want him if Paul wasn’t with them as well. An invitation to a gallery opening and painting that captured a perfect moment in time, serve as the needed catalyst to send Morgan back home to Colorado and a reunion he never imagined would happen. This is a very emotional and vivid story with a happy, healing ending but fans of Lee Brazil’s writing have come to expect that kind of depth in his writing. Mr. Brazil has a talent for digging deep into a characters psyche and pulling their deepest emotions to the surface in a way that’s almost as heart wrenching to the reader as it is to the characters. I know when I read one of his stories I’ll close the last page knowing my heart has been touched, that my soul has been affected. Bottom line: There is no light and fluffy to a Lee Brazil story. But there is poetry between the pages. One of many poignant lines from this short that was a total awe moment for me was “As a kiss melted into a kiss and a caress to culmination, no words were spoken”. The Park at Sunset is a short story that will be with you long after you finish this anthology.

The Story Orgy authors are a wonderful blend of unique writing voices who compliment one another. You’ll be glad you picked up this newest anthology to sample their writing talent. Do yourself a favor and get your copy of Word Play. You’ll laugh, cry and sigh from page one to two-hundred fifty one!

Keeping it Sexy with Virg

I have a confession to make. I write dirty books.

Yes, this means that some of the books I write have pictures of headless heroes on the covers. They aren’t bodice rippers since most of my books are set in a contemporary world—and we don’t wear bodices—but there are a few scenes where buttons go flying off men’s shirts or women shoot their bras across the room like red lace sling shots.

I should be ashamed of myself.

But I’m not.

Falling in love is one of the biggest rushes. You feel beautiful. You don’t need to eat. The sky looks bluer and every texture and feeling is magnified to a point that you can’t help but revel in the glittering sensuality of life.

There is a lot of psychology involved in writing romance, at least good believable romance. For instance, the man who has complete control in the boardroom wants to give up that control in the bedroom. The woman who has no control in her day to day life, merely riding the rollercoaster of life during the day, loves to be the one…uh…on top in the bedroom.

Friends make good lovers but they bring all the weight and responsibility of the friendship to the romance. It is somehow easier to fall in love with someone that you might never see again…but if the person on the other end of the kiss that blows the top of your head off is someone that you need in your day to day life, that risk is much harder to take.

So to keep it sexy, really, you have to bring all that to your romance. If the people aren’t real, the reader can’t emotionally engage with them.

Charlie Costigan has a secret. Home life gone from bad to the worst when she protects her mother from another vicious attack by her drunken father. Midnight. Clothes thrown into an old suitcase, she races for the bus with a letter to an unknown aunt and uncle. This is my daughter. Embrace her as if she were your own.

Determined, Charlie begins again. Alone with her secret.

Fifteen-year-old Charlie feels like a “thrown-away” child even though her unusual mother gives her a life-line as she packs a bag for Charlie and then tells her to run–never tell the secret, never come back, never call. Charlie holds fast to that lifeline and makes a PLAN.

Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, Charlie rises above being abused and used. With steely determination, she thrives in the care of an aunt and uncle she’s never known; but her guilt and need to connect with her mother and siblings bring her low at times.

The amazing array of secondary characters all help “reconstruct” Charlie. They help as she uses her innate intellect and learned skills, like running, to assist as she works through her PLAN. Her wealthy Aunt Eleanor and Uncle Stuart, the unique people who make their home run like magic, and the heart-winning Australian Labradoodles, Lord and Lady, embrace Charlie, rough edges and all. The connection she makes with each of them helps polish the many facets of her personality.

Even the antagonists at school and work cannot derail Charlie. They strengthen her resolve. Thomas Donnelly, her standoffish guardian in high school and her first romance in college along with Mike Connor, the construction worker, entice her in a direction that could put paid to her PLAN. She wants their friendship, but not more—her no-nonsense response to them is refreshing.

Other characters that make the story compelling are like sub-contractors that do their specialties in “reconstructing” Charlie. Shelley Jackson, Charlie’s chocolate Barbie, basketball-playing roommate and first girl friend, adds sparkle and vivacity to life like Charlie had never seen. The bond they form is strong and one of trust. The coaches, the nerdy, unique Jerry Khan that helps Charlie’s PLAN along, the wrestlers Tex and Mac, the construction firm owner Ken Duffy, and the remarkable people associated with “The Haven” a sanctuary for women and children all influence Charlie, but none of them absolve Charlie’s sense of guilt or ease the need she has to reconnect with her mother.

Charmaine Gordon’s straight-forward writing style with the undercurrent of suspense makes Reconstructing Charlie spellbinding. The no-frills style keeps the reader focused on Charlie and her PLAN. Even the exquisite descriptions of places like Eleanor and Stuart Alfred’s home, the Shakespeare Gardens at the university are all instrumental in the “reconstructing” of Charlie.

How Charlie comes to terms with her secret, finds peace about it, and how she accepts her mother’s attitude is a thought-provoking part of the story that reveals much about how Charlie, once a shattered child, copes with horrific happenings in life and survives, thrives, and even finds her happy-ever-after. It would take a special treat away from the reading if I told who that special man is for Charlie, but he suits her perfectly.

Ryan Chisholm, one of the infamous “flirt twins” of the powerful and wealthy Chisholm family, isn’t looking to settle down. He’s just looking for a good time while he and his twin build up their nightclub, Chaps & Spurs. He doesn’t want to be Mr. Right for anyone right now. However, once he meets Samantha, he wonders if he can’t be Mr. Right Now for the blonde-haired beauty.

Samantha Michaels is starting over with a new job in a new town. She has sworn off men, especially rich, spoiled playboys like Ryan Chisholm. Ryan is a handsome, wealthy playboy and is strictly off the menu as far as Samantha’s concerned. She knows from experience that she doesn’t have the pedigree necessary to be taken seriously by a wealthy and influential man. Life has taught her to depend on no one but herself, and she doesn’t intend to forget it.

What do you get when you mix a upper class, rich playboy and a lower class, grew-up-in-the-system girl?

A very sweet love story. Were you thinking drama and fireworks? Oh, those are there, too. But it’s more in the form of mama drama and fireworks in the bedroom.

Samantha Michaels is a strong willed business owner that’s new to town. She grew up in foster care and after years of working hard, was able to become partner in flower shop with her good friend. After some jerk forces her out of her livelihood, she has to leave town and basically start over. Her determination to make her own way is something to admire given her circumstances.

Ryan Chisholm, one half of the ‘Flirt Twins’, likes to play hard when it comes to women, but he actually works hard, too. That was good to see. When you think playboy you think all fun and no business but that’s not the case here. Ryan is very involved in the club he owns with his twin, and with his family’s ranching business. He’s a known serial dater, but if you looked like him, wouldn’t you?

What I loved about Ryan and Samantha together is that they were actually quite opposite. Him being so close knit with his family, and her having no one while growing up in foster care. Samantha is closed off from the world along with her feelings and Ryan is more ‘what you see is what you get’ when it comes to what he wants and expects. But, once they get on the same page everything is very yin and yang between them.

I did have a few minor issues with this book. One was the same position for several love making scenes. Ryan is, in a word, “experienced”, so sex in the missionary position left me feeling a wee bit let down. It’s well written scenes, I just expected more variety. And my other complaint was the amount of filler throughout the book. We had a lot of scenes where I knew every little detail about everything. Ms. Kinkade writes really good dialogue where it’s included. There simply needs to be more showing and less telling.

Lea Kinkade has created a strong, loving and overall amazing family with the Chisholm’s. They pull you in with their personalities but hook you with their love for each other. This series is an auto-buy for me, and with Dillon’s story coming up next I’m chomping at the bit to start it!

After spending her thirtieth birthday with her parents, straight-as-an-arrow Abby Simmons drowns her sorrows in a bottle of tequila and a splash of margarita mix. All she wants is a little excitement, one chance to go wild before she settles back into her regularly scheduled life. Fueled by liquid courage, Abby sets out to give herself the perfect gift—her bad-boy neighbor, firefighter Lukas Marlow.

Sure, Lukas likes intoxicated girls looking to turn their fantasies into reality as much as the next guy, but this is sweet little Abby. Definitely on the do-not-touch list. Determined to save her from embarrassment, he sends her away with an order to sleep it off and a promise to fulfill her desires in the sober light of day. Confident he’s scared her away for good, nothing could have shocked him more than an email from Abby the next morning, outlining her sexual to-do list.

Turns out his quiet neighbor isn’t such a good girl after all, and Lukas has no other choice but to make her burn.

What happens when you mix tequila and an uptight accountant on her birthday? I’ll give you a hint, it includes a sexy fireman!

What you get is a smokin’ hot, should not be read around people, sexy book about Lukas the fireman and the not-as-she-seems, Abby. Basically the book begins with Abby down in the dumps over hitting the dreaded milestone birthday of 30. Being the “smart” one in the family, she grew up from her unexciting childhood into her unexciting life to be an unexciting accountant and was depressed on her unexciting birthday. Can’t say I blame her! After a little run in with shirtless Lukas, she is driven to drink.

At the end of a batch of margaritas, heavy on the tequila, she has an epiphany. Like some people, being drunk makes her lose all inhibitions and she knocks on Lukas’ door looking for a good time. Of course Lukas is not only sexy, he’s also sweet, making him a double threat. He’s too nice of a guy to take advantage of a half dressed, uber drunk Abby. So he tells her to sober up and make a list of all the fantasies she wants Lukas to help her with. If she hasn’t dug a hole and disappeared into it come morning, Lukas would help her. Of course he had no idea Miss Prim and Proper would have a backbone made of steel.

I really loved this book! I loved how Abby starts out as this closed bud of a flower, beautiful yet simple. Then as the story progresses she blooms under Lukas’ touch. He feeds her passion and confidence every time they are together. Because of Lukas, Abby is able to get past the largest bump in her road and blossoms into this huge, beautiful rose. One that has many layers and is full of life. As for Lukas, what’s not to love? First off he’s sexy. Second he’s a fireman, making him a hero. Third, did I mention he was sexy? What really drew me to Lukas was the sharp edge he has. While Lukas isn’t a hard core Dom, he dabbles in it. And boy is he good when he dabbles. He knows exactly how Abby needs to be handled, and even though he comes off as a jerk at times, it’s all because Lukas is a nice guy deep down and actually cares about Abby’s feelings.

I hope that Julia Devlin turns this into a series, each starring another guy from the fire house. I’d especially love to see Trevor, Lukas’ best friend taken down a peg or three by a woman.

If you like a book that makes you hot under the collar and leads you to jumping someones bones, then look no farther!

Charlotte Timberlake wants to write a book about mental illness and persuades a doctor to have her admitted as a patient. When unforeseen events make it impossible for her to leave, she finds herself unable to convince those in charge, her children, or ex-husband that she doesn’t belong here. Charlotte soon realizes it is up to her to find a means of escaping the nightmare of her prison.

A staid, middle-aged, divorced mother of two, Charlotte isn’t your typical action-adventure hero. She isn’t unusually strong, fast or limber and she doesn’t have any special abilities or access to top-secret government weapons.

Yet this is exactly why her adventure is such a thrill. How can an ordinary woman outwit a society that assumes everything she says is a symptom of schizophrenia?

I loved Charlotte’s character but had trouble understanding her friend’s motivation for taking such a huge professional and legal risk. As much as I enjoyed the story it really didn’t make sense for her friend to agree to this plan. There was also a certain lack of realism in how easy it was to have Charlotte committed. This being a short story though, I can see how the setup would be convenient for moving the story along to the more pressing plot.

Once Charlotte is admitted it was fascinating to see how she was treated by the doctors and nurses at Central State Hospital. Even reasonable questions and complaints are treated as symptoms of her mental illness and when she becomes understandably angry in response to their dismissive attitudes her reaction is taken as a sign that she’s even more delusional than was previously thought.

I kept wondering how one proves his or her sanity in an environment where everything one says and does is interpreted in the worst possible light. Resurrection doesn’t provide any answers to this question but it did make me think about how much our preconceived ideas about other people in turn affect how they act around us. People really can live up (or down) to the expectations we place on them.

Resurrection is delicious jolt of adrenaline. No sooner will you adjust to one plot twist than another one will jerk you out of your preconceived notions about what will happen next. Will everything turn out okay in the end? The only way to know is to read this book!

Instantly, I able to get inside little Kelly’s head and feel her emotions and insecurities. She wasn’t just a fictional character. She was like a real person.

It was almost like a reunion romance story (and I’m a sucker for those) except that they met as children and never had a chance to act on it.

As characters go, Kelly was strong, confident (in her adult years), forgiving, and an all around nice person. Brandon surprised me as a hero. I’m so used to reading about macho heroes that it was a nice change to read about a realistic man who had a boring job and a boring, normal life, and found the love of his life. In a way, these characters showed that you don’t have to be a superhero to find love like the kind in the movies.

Lindsay was a character that I liked and hated at the same time. Adult Lindsay was just as much of a brat as child Lindsay. She was stuck up, lazy, and judgmental. However, some unforeseen circumstances lead her to open her eyes and become a better person. It was surprising to watch her grow as a person.

The story as a whole read like a non-fiction memoir. It was realistic, emotional, and actually inspiring. I loved seeing Kelly’s life as a deaf person and how she didn’t allow it to limit her options. There were a few typos but the depth of the plot and the characters had me overlook that. It was one of the best books I’ve read in a very long time. I highly recommend this and am looking forward to reading other works by this author.

When soccer star Chris Fischer moves next door to an openly gay classmate, he doesn’t realize the wall between their rooms will be so thin he’ll hear his neighbor’s every move. But soon he and Peter become friends, and Chris is intrigued—imagining what happens on the other side of the wall.

Active on the Queer Student Council, Peter Cohen wishes he wasn’t so damn hot for his straight neighbor. He can’t tell if Chris is flirting or in denial or what, but Chris’s innocent overtures lure Peter into flirtation that throws his world into chaos. Peter doesn’t want to date a closet case, but he desperately, passionately wants Chris.

Soon Chris must choose whether to run away from his new feelings or embrace a relationship with the guy he loves. And Peter must decide if he can give his heart to a guy who hasn’t yet figured it all out.

The last thing Peter wanted was to be forced back in the closet, even if it was for the sexiest jock on campus. Chris may have seen himself as straight, but it was clear to Peter that he was not as straight as he would like others to believe. The question is, was he trying to deceive others, or was he deceiving himself?

Peter seems like the kind of person anyone would love to be around whether they are straight, gay or in between. Some people just have a personality that draws others to them like a magnet. This magnetism made the character realistic to this reader. I could picture him sitting on the bed discussing everyday life with me the same way he did with his BFF Nathaniel. This aspect is what immediately drew me into the story and helped to keep my interest throughout.

Chris on the other hand was your typical self-conscious college kid trying to find himself. Personal loss made this search even more critical. Going to college away from home is tough enough, but dealing with the death of a loved one made this more tense. I think Chris’s story of self-discovery is inspirational to anyone whether they be straight or gay; male, or female. I could not help but be awed by how accepting he seemed to be of everything. Whether it be the fact that he was friends with a gay man, or that he started to have a tingly feeling every time he thought about Peter. He seemed to take everything in stride and just go with what felt right to him.

It’s been a while since I read a story that I knew the characters would stick with me, and this is one of those stories. I have no doubt that Chris and Peter will be replaying their story in my head for at least the next week.  I would recommend this story to anyone who loves inspiring story lines and characters.

Everybody has “those days.” The ones where you realize that things aren’t what they used to be and may never be again

So you trek off to the doctor’s office for a tonic or pill and hope for the best. When the doctor starts with “you’re getting older,” it’s never going to end well. And, if he’s going to prescribe “doing something you used to really enjoy,” he’d better know what that was before putting the idea in your mind. Some therapies aren’t really as helpful as they appear.

I’m not sure whoever first suggested doing a “Random Act of Kindness” had Bernice’s version in mind.This spunky little Pink Lady isn’t about to grow old gracefully. Especially when she has the opportunity to use her “advanced age” to her benefit. If that whipper snapper of a doctor thinks she should get out and do something fun, by golly she’ll show him fun and if it means giving peace of mind to a friend, all the more better.

This is a very quick paced fast read that’s perfect if you have five minutes to spare or maybe waiting in line. It’s full of quirky characters and I thought a unique plot line. Ms. Murphy did a top notch job at fitting in just enough detail for both characters and plot in only six pages.

I didn’t see the ending coming which made it all the more fun. It’s got a good twist to it and a touch of humor, too.
