THE COUNTESS' PLEASURE by Emma Holly --
Georgianna, the widowed Countess of Ware, dutifully kept
her deceased husband's impotence a secret throughout their
marriage, but during her stay in the desert city Bhamjran,
she's tempted by the sensual energy of a Yaman erotic
performer named Iyan. Physically and technologically, the
Yama are a superior race to humans, but Georgianna's
homeland controls them politically, and the two races are
discouraged from socializing. When she overcomes her fear
and offers to hire Iyan for a night of exquisite passion,
they both find pleasure beyond their expectations.
While Emma Holly draws on the societal strictures of
the Victorian era, her Yama characters add an exotic
element to advance the pleasure of both her characters and
her readers.
THE BREED NEXT DOOR by Lora Leigh -- Lyra
Mason's sexy new neighbor looks like a hard-bodied all-
American male, but he's a genetically enhanced feline Breed
created in a lab and raised psychologically as an animal.
Now legally freed and living among humans, Tarek Jordan is
not safe as long as his former captors hunt him. When Lyra
is threatened, Tarek must hone his animal instincts to
protect her, even though his feline genetics are fueling an
animal passion that may pose an even greater danger.
When Lora Leigh adds a science fiction twist to the
boy next door story, she gives her genetically modified
feline-man some physical qualities beyond my wildest
imagination!
FALLING FOR ANTHONY by Meljean Brook -- After
Lady Emily seduces Anthony Ramsdell, he promises to do the
honorable thing when he returns from the war in Spain.
Unfortunately, Anthony is only able to return as a
Guardian, complete with wings. Lady Emily's life is at risk
now more than her reputation ever was before -- her brother
is a vampire, her family is murdered and a nosferatu demon
still hunts them. Although Anthony's circumstances have
changed, his passion for Emily is a constant temptation as
he tries to fulfill his promise to make things right.
Meljean Brook successfully blends secondary story
lines and creates fantastic death defying love in a
paranormal Regency setting.
THE BLOOD KISS by Shiloh Walker -- Roman
Montgomery, the new wolf king, must infiltrate a costume
ball in the vampire-held city of New Orleans to extricate
his younger brother from captivity there. Julianna Capiet
is the rebellious and resentful blood-child of the vampire
leader. Although the feud between their families is fierce,
Julianna is furious when Roman takes her hostage,
exhilarated when he pursues her escape and deeply entangled
in the werewolf's arms when they're discovered. The angry
vampires in pursuit will stop at nothing to propagate their
species, and Roman must speed up his seduction and claim
Julianna as his own before they attack.
Shakespeare seems a lot sexier when adapted by Shiloh
Walker. If the Bard had populated his tragedies with
werewolves and vampires instead of the Montagues and
Capulets, his lovers may have had a better chance at a
happily-ever-after.
These four extremely erotic novellas play on our
traditional notions of love and romance, each with a
paranormal twist. Imaginative settings, enhanced characters
and out-of-this-world situations mean that the sex is
hotter, the emotions are more passionate and the erotic is
exotic during this HOT SPELL.
Venture into a world beyond the ordinary, where the dark
passions and voracious appetites of vampires, werewolves,
demons, and a few undaunted mortals combine to unleash a
potent spell...
Here are lovers to tempt the imagination: Eyes that glitter
with keenness born of ancient knowledge. Hands that move
with a tenderness belying superhuman strength. Inviting
smiles that reveal exquisitely lethal fangs. Rippling,
leonine muscles. There's danger in the air...and heat.
