"Hot, intriguing short stories by four outstanding authors"

Romance Paranormal

ENTHRALLED is a book of four short stories by prominent romance paranormal authors.

The Devil's Due is one of Lora Leigh's Breeds stories. Katie grew up not knowing she was a Breed but once it was known her world turns upside down. In the midst of everything Devil, the grim reaper for the breeds suddenly appears and hurries her away from the ogling hoard. She fears she is to die with no way of knowing that she is about to really start living. Anyone who loves Ms. Leigh's Breed stories will certainly love this one. It begins with a little prologue that gives you a beginning for Kate and possibly a hint for a future storyline. Devil is scary but hot and Kate is feisty with a hint of vulnerability that is endearing. Great story!

The Curse of the Black Swan by Alyssa Day introduces the League of the Black Swan. Brynn Carroll knows she will never marry it is the only way to end the curse until sexy firefighter Sean, with secrets of his own makes her rethink her plans. This is a sweet romance with just the right amount of action, magic and I must say it ... heat to keep the reader reading. Though I thought the ending was a little preemptive this was all in all the perfect beginning to a new series.

Salvage by Meljean Brook is the steampunk offering in her world of the Iron Seas. Thom believes he has not taken care of his wife as he should have and in trying almost loses everything that matters. When she is kidnapped to force him to dive for gold both of them learn what they will do to survive and for love. I enjoyed this story very much as the couple learns more about each other than they had in the early days of their marriage. The bad guys were really bad and the world incredible. If you haven't tried steampunk this will give you a good taste of the genre and probably hook you in.

Ecstasy Under the Moon by Lucy Monroe takes you back to her world of the Crechte. This is a story before Dragon Moon that shows Bryant a Faol, wolf-shifter, who has promised to protect the Ean, bird shifters and falls for the traumatized Una. This is a sweetly generous short story that will give readers a warm feeling of satisfaction. Bryant believes in what he is doing and feels immediately the attachment to Una. She feels guilty and torn between her family and the growing feelings for the wolf-shifter. This story proves that no matter what happens if love is there you cannot fail. I enjoy the Crechte books and look forward to the next full size one.
