This is Maddy Turner's lucky day. The civilized society girl just bid on sexy rogue Jake Wallace at a charity bachelor auction--and won! But Maddy knows Jake's dirty little secret. And it should keep her from trying out her new boy toy. Too bad she can't stop herself from indulging in raw, quite uncivilized sex all the same....

Jake Wallace is utterly bewitched by Maddy--and utterly bewildered. How can this tantalizing woman melt so rapturously under his ministrations one moment, then turn into a haughty queen the next? He's determined to get to the bottom of Maddy's agenda. One slow, delicious inch at a time...

great, November 13, 2009
I'm not a huge romance reader but it was free for the kindle. It suprised me how much I like the story. I am excited to read the next one.

I Loved This Book!, September 25, 2010
I just read this book on my Blackberry Kindle (getting a real Kindle in a few weeks) and this is one of the best romance novels I have ever read. I have been reading this while sitting behind my desk at work. I started this book at 4:15 p.m and finished at 11:02 p.m. I still cannot believe what a suspenseful page turner this was. I loved the attitude of Jake. Madeline was quite the character as well, thinking Jake was a gigolo. I had to remember I was at work to keep from laughing too loud because there were some funny points here. One of my favorite parts was picking Jake's sister up and she asking Madeline if her ex, Oliver, cheated on her with a man because his name sounded gay. I mean, I do not laugh at gay people, but that was too much, I could no longer contain the laughter. It is rare in these romance books to add such color and personality to the characters, but this author mastered that beautifully. I was still shocked that this book was free because I would have gladly paid $6.99 for that. I hope this author does not stop because this book was too good. If I could rate it more I would, but since we stop at 5, that is what this novel will get. Cannot wait to start a new book, as I am searching the Kindle store now, because I have 50 more minutes at work!

Slow Hands., May 30, 2010
To be honest, I didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I did. It's a Blaze novel and I've never read one before. However, this one was hot and sexy! I was really drawn into the story and how the characters interacted with one another. After finishing, I am definitely going to read more by this author--she's very good! I also liked, for erotic romance, Now Shes Gone and 99 Martinis Uncensored: Two Novels of Romantic Erotica.

Surprised..., July 8, 2009
I got this as a Kindle freebie. I usually don't read Silhouette or Harlequins, but thought I'd give the freebies a chance. This one was surprisingly better than I thought it would be (one of the better ones in the bunch). I don't tend to like "misunderstandings" and there was a fair share of cliches in the mix, but the author's writing overcame a lot of it. I ended up liking it enough to consider purchasing another one of her books to find out what happened with the other bachelor. :)

Pasionate, hot and steamy...and a quick read to boot, September 8, 2010
I am not one to read romance novels on a regular basis; however, this book really appealed to me. At times the plot did get convoluted, but as is the nature of romance novels, love is suppose to win out in the end. As for the steaminess of this novel, all I can say is that I may begin reading more romance novels for the passion depicted in this book was deliciously steamy.

This was indeed a good read.

Great Quick Sexy Read, August 29, 2010
I read this at the beach on an anniversary trip with my husband and it was just perfect. Very quick, sexy, funny and written well. The plot moved at a decent pace and the characters are sweet and believable. I simply thought it was great and rated it 5 stars and it was free to boot! Read it if you like books with hot sex!

Excellent Sensual Read-Slow Hands is Hot!, March 6, 2010
Loved this book....can't say enough about it. Downloaded it to my blackberry and took it everywhere with me...couldn't put it down. Has some extremely hot scenes that definitely got my emotions going. Highly recommend!!!

At least it was free..., October 2, 2010
*Warning, this review may contain spoilers* I really try not to be too critical of a free book, but how many stereotypes and worn-out cliches can one story have?

Let's start off with a heroine being a short, very curvaceous brunette who is portrayed to have more intelligence and integrity than those evil, tall, stick-figured blonds making Maddy an ambitious attempt at a "different" character, yet lacking any real depth. I've read far more of this type of heroine than I ever have a leggy blond. Every blond in this book was self-absorbed or otherwise unappealing in some way. It felt almost like reverse prejudice after a while, which is strange considering the author (as pictured) is blond herself. Imagine a book where every short brunette was stereotyped as a boring, plain-Jane or something of the sort, making them unappealing. I doubt that would go over well.

Then toss in a typical "big", impossibly handsome hero who apparently has women throwing themselves at him left and right (but of course has no interest in any of them) who nearly gets a hard-on within two minutes of seeing Maddy in the crowd and wants to do all sorts of sexiness to her because "there's just something about her" and she's not a stick like all the blonds in the room. I'm neither a stick nor am I built like Jessica Rabbit (or Catherine Zeta Jones as the author describes Maddy), but the constant pounding into our heads of how curvaceous Maddy was, even to the extent where Jake says that's how every woman "should be shaped", became very annoying to me.

The story becomes one big, overdone cliche after that point fueled by an annoying plot of miscommunication between less than one-dimensional characters. Perhaps I've read too many romance stories, but I was just left with the feeling that I'd read all of this before. And I'm unfortunately still a bit amazed how the same, tired character types find their way into new stories.

The entire idea that Maddy despises the "fact" that Jake is a gigolo, yet never brings the subject up in spite of all the talk about his big, loving family and her awareness that he lacks typical "international playboy" characteristics is just completely unbelievable. Maddy does ponder that perhaps he's acting a part, but a rich socialite with a brain, such as Maddy is described to be, should have picked up on the fact that he wasn't very cultured. Not saying a man who drives a truck can't be cultured, but I seriously can't imagine an "international gigolo" who services Chicagoan socialites driving a truck. And as perturbed as she was by his "profession" one would think she would have simply asked at one point: "So what does that big, loving family of yours think about what you do for a living?" At the very least Jake would have mentioned some aspect of his real job during one of their conversations. And no, not wanting to gross her out with gory medical talk is not an excuse to never mention anything about your job. He never even mentions coworkers. It's simply not realistic.

The sex was just average in my opinion, but, again, I've read a lot of romance books. For a person who is a new or casual reader of this genre, this book will probably be better for them than it was for me. I found the actual "romance" lacking. As typical of these books, the "love" felt more based on the physical and came rather quickly for my tastes. Sure, three weeks is a more believable time frame for a person to fall in love than three days (as I've seen other romance books depict) but when a person has deep-rooted issues regarding relationships and love, three weeks is still a little quick to want to spend the rest of your life with someone.

Overall, this book is okay for a freebie, and the story gained my interest a little better toward the end. That's why I gave it two stars instead of one. This book is one I would not pay for, but it does the job of killing time on a rainy afternoon. However, if overused stereotypes and trite, annoying miscommunication plot lines bother you, I would recommend skipping over this story.

super steamy but lacks substance, October 13, 2009
I've read several of the books that were offered for free, and was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. However, I was very disappointed with this one. First, I thought the initial introduction to Janice and Penny in the first chapter was excellent and I looked forward to further development of these characters. However, they never showed up again in the book! I will have to give the author credit in the massive vocabulary category because I've never read so many pages of intimate scenes with such a wide variety of words used to describe body parts, without actually stating the body part by its actual name. Her intimate scenes were steamy for certain and well-written. I just wish there had actually been some semblance of a plot in between them. The character development was extremely shallow which was a very big disappointment after the interesting first chapter, or perhaps I should say that the actual characters were incredibly shallow. Whether or not the heroine actually learned anything about true love through her family history and personal experience is debatable because her relationship with Jake was based purely on mutual passion, satisfying her selfish desires and not much else. Maddie was right to doubt whether or not she could have a lasting relationship with Jake, because there was no foundation to base a lasting relationship on. At first I thought that this book was probably written by a man, because what man wouldn't want a hot babe that jumped him every chance she got, but there has to be more than that to make a relationship last. Personally, I prefer reading about women who catch their men through friendship and commitment before hopping in the sack with them.

Great read, September 29, 2010
Loved the story line and loved how they talk about all the characters with no confusion, highly recommend esp for a free read. ... Read more

What’s your fantasy? Exhibitionism, voyeurism, S&M, D/s, bondage and spanking, ménages, orgies…For Dani, it’s being bold and brazen enough to have sex before an audience. The thrill of performing empowers her. The idea of others being titillated by witnessing her intimate gratification excites her. Mikael has given her an extravagant present, a trip to Pigalle—Paris’ notorious red light district—where they will satisfy her wildest fantasy and perhaps discover a few new ones along the way.Note: This story contains voyeuristic hot man lovin’ and exhibitionism that will get you all worked up. ...

Hot stuff, July 4, 2010
If you don't like hopping right into the sex, you will not like this book, but if you do, it's excellent. Just a nice little short story about graphic sex and having one's fetishes (exhibitionism, voyeurism and hot boy-on-boy action, in this case) catered to. Plus the man and the lady are married and in love, so it's kinda awesomely romantic as well as sexy. I'm a sucker for healthy marriages in porn.

It's nicely written, and has a few nice little nods to SSC (safe, sane, consensual) while still catering to the fantasy. For what it is, five stars.

Not as fulfilling as I thought..., August 13, 2010
Well, I guess it was free, and so I can't complain TOO much, but still, I felt like it was lacking. It was VERY short, and the details and all weren't bad, but I felt kinda robbed when you thought you were getting to the good part and it just ended. I pushed 'next page' and it was the 'about the author' part, and I felt unsatisfied. Still, not bad, for a free book.

this would get an D-!, August 1, 2010
This was not worth reading, even for free! It is a short, short story with little build up for anything.

Could have been better..., August 19, 2010
I enjoyed the story. It was this great build up for when they would get to perform, but then it was bland. Maybe next time keep the heat going a little longer...

Almost there, July 22, 2010
The story is about an exhibitionist couple on vacation in France in a very liberal part of town. I gave it 4 stars cause of the idea and what led up to them getting on stage. I didn't give them a 5 cause when they finally hit the stage it was such a disappointment.

just talk dirty, July 6, 2010
This is a very short story, which is ok, as there isn't much to it. The main characters are a husband and wife, she with a very unusual wish - that they give a sexual performance in front of a live audience. Her husband, whom we are assured is everything a man should be, including, apparently, being sufficiently devoted to his wife to agree to fulfill her fantasy. The couple has trained for this event - marathon running is apparently not an option for these two - and they're both eager for their opportunity. This meager bit is the story line; rest is, as my title says, just dirty talk. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Like many Bor Nargan women, Jeanne has never had sex. The planet publically shuns intercourse, branding women as wicked for even talking about sexual urges. Then a man unlike any she’s ever seen stumbles through her door—literally. Even his disheveled appearance doesn’t stop her from wanting to strip bare and place her body in his talented hands. Created solely for pleasure, Eland is a level-three Shareem. Rough, edgy, commanding. Oh, the things he could teach Jeanne…if he can stay alive long enough. Publisher’s Note: Sexy and sensual? Or down and dirty? If you enjoyed this tantalizing taste, the Tales of the Shareem series has a level of pleasure just for you. ... Read more

Different....., July 28, 2010
Jeanne lives on a planet called Bor Narga, where sex is publicly shunned. Even children were produced in labs and if were a woman that wanted sex or even mention sex you were consider a slut, whore & trash. So, when Eland knocks on her door in the middle of the night; she starts to question everything. She notices that he looks like a god, has blue eyes & yes a black chain worn on his upper arm. She almost can't believe herself when she realizes that he is Shareem. The difference between a regular man and the Shareems were that the Shareem was larger in build, taller & made for only specific things. Eland was harvested in a DNAmo genetic facility; there he was to be the perfect servant, factory worker or sex tool and most of the regular people (normal) didn't consider them anything-but property. Once the genetic facility was shut down and all the products of the facility were sentenced to death/ terminated. Eland went on the run ending up at Jeanne's apartment. She lets the stranger in, but then things turn into a hot, steamy, sexual torment for Jeanne-who has never had sex. The events to this story are very short & steamy.....This is a must read, if you want something that is short and to the point.

Good Sci-Fi and Erotic, November 3, 2010
Eland was a decent short story about the story of Bor Narga. It basically is a planet where sex has been completely shunned, and the main character is a virgin and only dreams of having it. A man shows up at her door in the middle of the night, completely disheveled, and she allows him inside to clean up. This leads to him seducing her while she watches him shower. Basically, the man turns out to have been genetically modified to give perfect kinky sex. I'll avoid spoiling the ending (like other reviewers have), but it's a decent ending to this short story.

This story is pretty short - I'll say that. You can finish it in under 20 minutes without any sort of problem. There's just two short sex scenes, and while the sci-fi universe that is created is actually pretty fun and exciting (and makes me want to read more about it), I wouldn't call the sex described as spectacular in any way. It still is a good story and includes a bit of bondage and toys. The story has very little in terms of romance and a good chunk of the e-book is just the sex itself. Nothing wrong with that, but just letting you know.

Overall, for free, how much can you complain really? It's well-written, uses proper grammar, isn't crass, and provides a unique sci-fi universe that I'm kinda looking forward to future books (and current books) for reading. Definitely one of those "teaser" books that gives you a good look into the universe in hopes that you'll buy one of the full length novels. And it worked.

Absolutely Wonderful, October 9, 2010
I'll admit that at first, I simply purchased this ebook because it was so cheap, but the summary is what gripped me. Granted, it gave more of a background than an actual summary, but how can you pass up on reading a book that has a male made for sex? It's a must read, but I will say that I wished it was longer. The book could have been made into many chapters; it rushed to the ending in my opinion. However, I loved it and I will be returning to it often.

This Just Should Have Been Longer, August 2, 2010

Good and Hot Read, October 23, 2010
I greatly enjoyed this story. I've read various background theories (in fictional stories) on the origins of Vampyre - this was a fresh slant. And using a journal as a means to bring in pertinent historical information was a great touch, and much less confusing than other methods I've read.

Besides the interesting story line that develops the characters of Constantine and Resa and moves them through the action, there are several scenes of unabashed, hot sex. Whew! I needed a fan while reading this one. ~grin~

Can't wait to read future stories about Octavian and Leonidas.

A twist?, December 5, 2010
I loved the development of the supernatural characters though all of the sex scenes seemed to get in the way of the story. Now, I know that hearing of those scenes might sell these two stories to a new reader, but they interfered with my enjoyment as I started out wondering who the heck we were dealing with, a vampire or a werewolf or a zombie or what, and had to page through the sexual interludes to get to that resolution!! The sex scenes kept rearing their heads up right as I was getting into what I was reading the story for in the first place. Now, why would I give these stories 4 stars (really only 3 1/2 stars, but I don't know how to do that)? Because the way the supernatural characters were developed was different and that is A-OK with me. I read these stories for the fantasy and sci fi aspects and sex scenes are not conducive to that. As short stories without those scenes, these books would have been five stars.

Apologies to Ms. Stone, November 7, 2010
I feel bad because I hate giving bad reviews. I know the author spent some effort creating this prequel as a background for a whole series of books. I haven't read any of the series and this prequel will certainly not compel me to try. Ultimately I agree with the other lady who skipped everything but the sex scenes. I tried several times to understand the history and be charmed by the Vampyre who Would be King, but it was so plodding and encyclopedic, like take your medicine before you get to the good stuff! Even the romantic encounters that led to the sex were as follows:
"No."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes," and then he kissed her, etc.

So, apologies to the author, but this book failed to hook me or even amuse me. Many typos had me feeling it was quickly banged out to meet the demands of those wanting a prequel. Well, I sure hope it answers your questions because standing alone, this is a really terrible book.

Loved it!, October 31, 2010
So, this book is not on the Anne Rice side of Vampire "stories"-
but more along the lines of Stephanie Meyer's 'Twilight' to me (and I love both authors)-
the passion, the need for understanding from one species to another- etc, etc.

Over-all I found myself not wanting to put this read down....
love the fact that it was written in "journal entries".
And, it was free- doesn't get much better than that!

Poorly written, October 26, 2010
This book is so lame. I love paranormal romance and have read tons of variations on vampires and the different twists on their origins. This one is the worst. The story jumps around. Some parts move so slow that you end up scanning for some action. There are several typos that are annoying. I tried to finish the book, and gave it a couple of tries. In the end I gave up and didn't bother finishing it. Why force myself through an unpleasant experience?

Someone else mentioned the hot sex. OK. That's probably the only part of this book that's worth reading. The rest was boring "filler."

An odd mix, November 3, 2010
This wasn't horrible by any means, especially as it was free. If I had paid for it I think I might not be so lenient. While I appreciate the author's attempt to come up with a new twist on the vampire story I'm not sure it was done all that well. Plus the "in jokes"--as an example the leader of the Alliance is named Bram--were more irritating than anything else. The journal entries read more like someone that maybe wasn't quite talented enough and/or didn't want to spend the time to figure out how to weave that information into the story. They were also quite an intrusion into the storyline & I found them more annoying than enlightening. It was a very quick read although I was kind of plowing through at the end so I could move onto something else. So while I wouldn't say it was awful I wouldn't suggest actually paying for it. But if you can get it for free, you want a quick way to spend an afternoon and you are able to accept a different background on the vampire theme then you shouldn't be too disappointed.

Unwanted Hunger, October 22, 2010
I enjoyed this book. Yes, the vampires are mixed with some Stargate/Star Trek kind of alien life form but there are several vampire constructs that use the "Vampires are an alien race stranded on earth" approach. After all you have to explain them somehow! The story line is interesting and the moves from past to present to give the reader history is handled very well. All in all I enjoyed it and would be happy to purchase additional books written in this universe. ... Read more

Good for a quickie, August 19, 2010
I loved this story. It did what I thought a erotic short story should do. I didn't read what the story was about before I downloaded so I was quite surprised to read it was a lesiban story. I might have to look into other stories by the author. Worth the download!

Sweet and hot!, October 6, 2010
If I could give this four and a half stars I would. Although the story was well written, flowed well and the love scenes were beautifully executed and showed some very interesting uses for toys between women I didn't know about...I like guys:-) But I love reading anything and everything, so this one part when the girls were talking about staying together I felt the author took an easy out. It was a perfect setup for just lightly talking about the real problems of coming out of the closet after being married to a man for many years. Instead of giving the reader just a little...not so much as to feel as a view point is going down ones throat...and not in a good way:-)...but a little bit of HOW she felt about it, the problems she could face coming out and maybe a few ideas coming together to make the transition easier for her in coming out but it didnt. The story went right back into the sex...though very well written sex and very inventive but still a quick and easy out. I understand though this is a short story meant to arouse and tintalite but...to me personally..it could have been a perfect way to give an outsider like me just a taste of what coming out would entail in that type of situation for women. I like my erotica hot and passionate but I really love it when I learn something I didn't know before as well. Though I did learn about toys for women so I give five stars for learning something...but also learning something a bit intellectual would have been a real woozer for me and have me saying I wish I could give six stars.

Free, short lesbian soft porn, July 5, 2010
For what it is, it's fine. It's a fast (as in 30 min max) read. If you want to read a little lesbian soft porn, give it a go. Just a short love/sex story with no unexpected developments.

Short, Good, Very Sexual, October 29, 2010
This little book (which is free, so I can't make too many complaints) only takes about fifteen minutes to read. It's a really short story that is short on the plot but long on the sexual action between the two women. The story itself is well-written and well-formatted and reads really easily on the Kindle, but I must say that I was a bit disappointed by the language.

There is a lot of bad cliches contained in this erotic story. For example, "When her bubble-gum colored tongue darted out to wet her lips, I thought I would die." However, it does help enhance the story in a sexual manner. It just doesn't help the plot be very believable which is something I like to read in your stories. However, for just being a short erotic story with the entire purpose of being arousing, it does its job.

The story includes a hot scene with the two women desperate for each other's bodies in a public bathroom, an oral sex scene in a bedroom, and penetrative sex with a strap-on harness. The sex is described in specific detail and makes it extremely easy to picture exactly what's going on. For being a 15 minute, no-cost read, I honestly can't think of any reason you shouldn't pick it up.

Meh., August 4, 2010
The setup was intriguing but there was no payoff--the "orgy" was more of an exhibitionist setup with couples having sex within the view of others. The whole undercover plotline went nowhere, and other than the fact that the main guy was standard-issue hot and kissed well, there was nothing else to the attraction. And the "twist" at the end is silly and also goes nowhere. With the length limitations it would have been better to pick one idea and stick with it.

Nice twist!, October 6, 2010
A short hot story. Nicely written and put together which surprised me that it was misstated. Not an Orgy, more of a voyeur type of situation, however it was saved by a nice twist at the end and I loved it. So one star off for the mishandling of the title but I did enjoy the tale nonetheless.

Old friends reunite to banish ghost, July 12, 2010
This quickie bears only a passing resemblance to the blurb above. Dera used to work for Alec three years ago at his real estate firm before he became an innkeeper; back then they had some sparks, but Alec wouldn't get involved with anyone he worked with. Now he's got a ghost problem, Dera and her brothers are in the business of ghostbusting and she's in town to see if she can help (and maybe rekindle the flames of her almost-romance with Alec).

From the nature of the haunting, they know that part of the way to send the ghost back to his resting place is going to involve resolving their own relationship, but it's done in a classic romantic/erotic way, not something overtly raunchy (although explicit descriptive language is used). The very, very brief secondary story of the ghost and why he's haunting the inn is sad, the resolution sweet though.

Altogether, this is an enjoyable, quick read and one that's easy to recommend, well worth the brief time it takes to page through.

This author was new to me but I enjoyed her story - lots of emotion and humor.
I would love to read all of the stories about the rest of the characters in the book but I'm having trouble figuring out which books they are from. Miss October is clearly one of the series, but I hate to pay $7.12 for a story thats only 196 KB (Isn't that a short story?) In my opinion, $7 should be a full length novel.

Madison Hayes shows us a peek into the lives of her characters from the Calendar girl series and we are once again treated to a glimpse of her witty dialouge and hot sex scenes. The only complaint I could make is this book is only a morsel and with Ms. Hayes I always enjoy a full meal.

Another Winner, August 7, 2010
Madison Hayes hits it out of the park (pun intended) with Playing Hardball. I loved this story! Madison writes such compelling characters in great situations, and tops it all with hot and delicious sex. The chemistry between Renny and Colt was wonderful and it was fun to revisit all the characters from her earlier work. If you're a fan of Ms. Hayes' stories, than this book will not disappoint.

Ugh Awful, June 27, 2010
Poorly written, poorly crafted story.....and just plain a waste of the time it took to download it. Ugh awful !

A Fast, Fun Read, June 28, 2010
I really enjoyed this story. It's a quick read but that is obviously the intent. It was a great way to take a little break and explore a new author.

too fast, November 2, 2010
VERY short story. You are just getting into the storyline when it is done and over with. Makes you want to know more (which may be the point).

Close but no cigar, October 6, 2010
What I liked about the story was Colin, he sounded like a hottie...at least in bed. The sex scene was well done to a point. What was missing was a bit more of a background on at least the two main characters. I felt I didn't get to know them well enough. Secondly, with the amazing varieties of love toys couldn't something a little more unusual been used...or as a second round of lovin' use something a little more creative? A perfect opportunity missed IMO But the author has promise and With a little more work and a wider imagination..don't be afraid to get more adventurous...the author could do quite well. Push the envelope a bit...go for it!

So, So, July 22, 2010
The story is about a girl who goes to a sex toy party and ends up winning an array of toys. She goes with her friend and ends up getting a ride home by her friend's brother. Of course he likes her and when they reach her house he goes inside with her. One thing leads to another and they end up using one of the toys. It got 2 stars because I liked the idea of the story. Bu it also only got 2 stars because it was super short and the toy they used was the most boring of the ones she won. ... Read more

Clara is a soldier taken hostage by Kane. But something happens and instead of Kane breaking Clara, he ends up falling for her. But what can they do? You'll have to find out when you read this short story. What I liked most about this story is the beginning when Clara is a hostage and Kane appears and does everything he does to her. You can actually feel everything!

Not what I expected, August 2, 2010
I thought I'd add a review for this book as the one I read didn't give a lot of information just enthusiasm.

I would actually rate this book as a paranormal romance instead of erotica. And it is of book length rather than novella.

We have our heroine Sara who has a "gift" of visions that she typically paints and who descends from the original line of "Hussies" who were protectors of warriors in times past. (You actually get provided with the origin of the word hussy that is quite interesting but I've not fact checked in the story.) We have our hero Morgan an amazing photographer who lost his father on his 12th birthday when he was trying to rescue a mother/daughter from a car wreck. Morgan has been tormented by his fathers words of the day that he had something to show him that would change his life. We also have a mystical "hussy trainer" Danu who the story starts with and pops up periodically.

In the story these two meet, have amazing chemistry and they pair up to work the Democratic convention/presidential race as photographer and assistant. Their relationship progresses and we're headding towards our happy ever after when there is a dramatic turn (which I won't spoil for you) before we get the HEA.

The book is an okay read. I think it needed a good edit as we have our major, drawn out, fantasies being fulfilled sex scene at the height of drama when they could be interrupted at any moment. This really should have been swapped with the middle sex scene. It didn't fit that we have our heroes stressed and worried for their lives but can take the time to not only get naked but draw it out endlessly.

As a freebie download it was worth the time it took to read but I don't think that I'd buy any others of the Hussy series.

Identity crisis, August 20, 2010
I downloaded this book hoping for a fun, sexy read. However, it soon became obvious that this book has an identity crisis. It does not have enough sexual activity or build-up to be considered erotica. Its paranormal aspects are not well-explained. You do not discover the main character's power or what she is supposed to do until you are almost at the end. The main characters don't meet until over half-way through the novel which means that it is not a romance.

This book left a bad taste in my mouth. With some editing ( and counseling) this book could have been decent. In its current form, save your time. It is not worth the kindle space.

Disappointing, August 18, 2010
I downloaded this book because I like fantasy, and I read good rewiews about it: a reader actually said that she read this book 30 times or more, so I thought it had to be interesting. I guess it would be an interesting "erotica" book, but for me it would need something else, a bit more structure in the plot, a bit more depht in characters: i.e, see Diana Gabaldon or George R.R. Martin. I'm sorry I really can't recommend this book, I couldn't ever finish it.

Confusing, November 7, 2010
Morgan hears voices since the death of his father when he was twelve. Sara has visions. At the beginning of the book, she is sent to Danu, a pre-medieval character who informs her that Sara is a Hussie and must save one man (you guessed it : Morgan). Morgan and Sara soon meet and they both realise they had erotic visions of each other. Passion is unleashed. Morgan is offered a job photographing some politicians and brings Sara as his assistant (great use of my income tax money by the way). They stop an attempt on the life of a politician and find themselves running for their lifes.
There is just too much going on for such a short book. Elements of fantasy, paranormal activity, and mystery compete with the erotic scenes. I feel that this was a much longer book that has been edited to death in order to be published or, conversely, that it should have been edited to concentrate on just one facet of the story.

Disappointed because of misclassification, August 13, 2010
The other evening, I settled myself into the bathtub with a glass of wine and my Kindle, hoping to read a nice piece of erotica. I opened up this ebook and found myself reading a story. A story. With plot and dialogue.... regrettably, lots of dialogue. Not exactly the titillating piece of erotica that I had hoped for. What is more, the length of the story was significantly longer than I expected... taking much, much longer than my usual bathtime reading.

I continued to read the story for the next several days because, just on principle, I like to finish what I start. Also, the story is not bad, it just wasn't what I had wanted to read. I am giving it two stars because, for 'erotica', it is very disappointing, particularly because the sexual moments are fairly tame and uninspiring, focusing more on how in love the two characters are rather than the nasty things they do to each other.

well done, August 15, 2010

“I want to taste you.” His voice seduced her. His body, costumed in a linen kilt and a mask of the ancient Egyptian lion-headed god of the massacre, made her body burn. It was inappropriate, unprofessional, but when he spoke, “I’m not a gentle lover. I’ll take you fast. I’ll take you hard, and I won’t stop until we’ve both come,” Diana willingly took the plunge into decadence, forgetting where they were and who she was. ... Read more
