Alexandra Ivy's name may be what grabbed my attention to this book, but all four of these authors made ON THE HUNT a wonderful read. Each brings us a riveting story full of great characters and emotions. I enjoy short stories, but they must pull me in and the characters must have depth. I can happily say that these four authors did a great job doing just that.

ON THE HUNT by Alexandra Ivy gives us Mika and Bailey's story. He is a Sentinel and she is a healer. Long ago, Bailey thought she lost Mika but now he is back and may be her only hope. Can the two find a way to save everything while saving themselves? I really liked Bailey. She is a great woman and a good match for Mika.

PHANTOM EMBRACE by Dianne Duvall is a romantic story. Yuri and Cat have a lot to say in this story. Emotions are strong and you may need a tissue with this one. Love is hard to find and even harder to let go. They are from two different worlds, but they make it the best that they can. Their friendship soon develops into more and the two must deal with the hand that they are dealt. This is an emotional story.

SCORPION RISING by Rebecca Zanetti gives us another great couple in Deacon and Nora. Circumstances have brought the two back together, but can they find a way to work together as Nora works to find a cure? Is their love worth giving Deacon a second chance? Deacon is one alpha male and Nora is a strong woman; together they make a great couple. This has an interesting story that weaves around their romance.

STAKE OUT by Hannah Jane takes us into the fashion world with this story. Nina has a big problem when a model is turned into a vampire. She needs help and Vlad and Pike are there to do just that. Can they stop the vampires and figure it all out before it is too late? This story is light, humorous, and makes for a nice read.

I enjoyed my time in each of these worlds. Some had me crying while others made me smile. Love is a strong emotion and many will do anything to keep it. I loved watching the relationships take shape and seeing the couples fight for their happy ever afters.

Each of these stories are wonderful reads that kept me engaged all the way to the end. I cannot wait to see what more is to come in these worlds.
