As with any anthology there are favorites. Mine favorite was The Exploits of Her Thief. Your choice may be different, but there are plenty to choose from and a wide variety. Reviewing an anthology presents a unique problem when attempting to review the book as a whole, but I have tried to be clear and to cover all points of the reviews. The stories are brief romances, some we enter are already in the situations, others are entering them, all have some intense sex and all have unique storylines. The characters are not developed but considering the short length we do get insight into the characters. The story flows are smooth and easy to follow. I would have liked some of the stories to continue until more details were given.

to be in an auction. He goes to the auction and purchases it for
sixty-thousand dollars although it is by an unknown artist. Juliana comes

her body is found she is trapped and the painting is the only way she can
communicate with the living. She asks Duncan to find her body and her
murderer. The only clue he has to begin with is the artist of the painting.
This is a great story written from a male point of view. It is written as most men
that are bachelors are portrayed making the characters believable and well
written. There are several sexual situations. The tale is interesting, with
mystery and intrigue, as well as romance and some hot sex, and the story has
a believable ending. The story flow was great and the story plot is
excellent and well written.

This is a most unusual story. The flow is a tiny bit off and caused me to read reread a few short spots to understand what was meant, which could be caused by language difference as the writer isn't American and I am. But this is a Great story, interesting, original storyline, wild sex and the characters are well described considering the short length of the story. I did enjoy reading it.

It was Roberts job to find was to frighten her while keeping her safe. He was good at it too, he enjoy doing it for her, and he loved the way she repaid him. So he was really doing it for the both of them Sevra trusted him to handle all of the arrangement and Robert never let her down. They were good together, at work and home they were equals and respected each other. Only in the bedroom did Robert dominate, because she wanted him to.
He had every detail planned, to heighten her fear and arousal. They stop before the spooky old house and Robert leaves her sitting in the car, shivering with desire and fear while he prepares the final details for the evening ahead. He talks of ghost and vampires, things that make her ache with need.
A story to read in the dark of night, this tale is as delicious as the name implies. The romance and sex is hot and plentiful considering it is a short story, although the story is there also. If you love the twilight zone and such pictures you are going to love this story. A perfect tale for those things that go bump in the night. The story has a surprise ending. The character are well described and the tale intriguing. This is the kind of spooky story I love, because it is sexy too.
