Jonah Billings is a surfer with a secret. Jonah is a selkie, a seal by night, and a lifesaver by day. He is in love with Samie, but has yet to tell her about his secret. Jonah is a dark haired handsome hunk of a man, determined to mate for life with woman of his dreams.
Samie McIntyre is a gorgeous twenty-four year old woman who is preparing, by sitting in the full bathtub daily, to become a mermaid. Her mother became one, and she told Samie her turn would come when she turned twenty-five. Unfortunately, her birthday is going to be in just a few weeks. Will she be ready? She only has one fear to conquer, but it is huge. Samie is afraid of water. What good is a mermaid if she is afraid of water?
This was a cute story about a young woman who is soon to become a mermaid but she is afraid of water. She is in love with Jonah and Jonah is in love with her. But how can she show him before she turns into a mermaid and must live in the sea? This is a fun story is about two people in love, the secrets that keep them apart, and how they come together.
This erotic romance has interesting twists adding the selkie and mermaid influences. I enjoyed the overall story, but I felt the language was a bit rough and took away from the romance has a whole. It may be all right for someone younger but way to harsh for this chickie. For me, the language was a turn off. I was thrilled when Jonah and Samie came together in the end
When she’s not tied to her computer creating sizzling stories to tempt her readers, she helps run a busy motel set on the edge of a National Marine Park in Australia. What better place to get inspiration for the tales she turns out? Ms. Fleming loves to hear from readers.

Suren, the Mongol war lord’s son, is an incredibly handsome, virile warrior with eyes for the new warrior who traveled back from the future. Suren knew in his heart that he was in love with her.
Tara Michaels is a spirited student studying to become an archeologist. She is quick witted in conversation, and is rising up from an abusive upbringing to being a woman of her own. Tara gets sucked back in time to the 1500’s and is introduced to many of the ancient Mongols.
Tara is transported back to the time period she has done extensive research on, and becomes enmeshed in the lives of those in the tribe. Tara meets her many times great grandmother, her many times great grandfather, and the love of her life, Suren. Tara ends up traveling back and forth between the two ages, battling evil and finally settling in modern day where her love Suren, travels forward as well to grow old with her.
This was a very creative work where the author beautifully covered some complex historical events. I totally enjoyed the love between Tara and Suren, it was hot, and by their actions, you could tell they deeply loved each other. The battle scenes were brilliantly written taking me back to the life and times of ancient Mongolia. The violence on the battlefield, although completely historically accurate was just a bit much for the passive girl that I am. The author obviously studied, and this story is beautifully written. I enjoyed the book, and knowing me will probably read it again. This book is well worth the money spent.
Ms. Taylor has short stories published on an adult oriented website. Ebooks are all she writes at present. She would love to hear from you and you can reach her at dianet_write@yahoo.com.

Tanner Dorsey was the leader of the largest American Drug Cartel. He was hot, filthy rich, and worked with Ally’s two older brothers, Darren and David. Tanner loved Ally beyond imagination, but he was on one side of the law and she was on the other. So he kept an eye on her, had his men photograph her, and he watched his beautiful girls grow, without his loving touches.
FBI Agent Ally Stevens has been in love with Tanner Dorsey since she was 12 years old. She made love to only one man, once in her entire life, Tanner Dorsey. She got pregnant and gave birth to beautiful twin daughters, their father, the only man she ever loved, Tanner Dorsey. The problem? He ran an illegal drug cartel and she worked for the FBI.
This the second book in a trilogy, which continues the intense love story between Tanner Dorsey and Ally Stevens. The two of them are on opposite sides of the law, but they have loved each other since Ally was twelve years old. This second book develops the love between the two of them, but leaves you wondering what’s in book three.
Okay this was book two, book one pissed me off, so I was expecting the same out of book two. As a matter of fact, the author (a dear friend), told me I would probably hate this book as much as I hated book one. I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the way Tanner and Ally’s relationship progressed. It was brought one step closer to each of the characters personal fulfillment with each other. I can hardly wait for book three. This trilogy is so well written, it keeps the reader glued to the outcome of the story. The sex is hot and the relationship strong and vibrant. I loved this story, and this trilogy will remain in my keep forever pile. I will recommend it to my friends.

Jamie MacGivern is an absolutely gorgeous lycant, a wolf shape shifter. He is a genetically engineered super human with wolf-like abilities and killer instincts. He has taken Allison, married or not; she is his mate, and he knows it!
Allison Groves was a Federal Agent, at least until her plane crashed, and she woke up without any memories, only to meet and fall in love with the lycant.
This is a fabulous paranormal romance filled with mystery, hot sex, and suspense. Allison Groves is matched and mated with her lycant hero, Jamie MacGivern. When her memory returns, she makes the choice to stay with the lycant, no longer to return to her old life.
I absolutely loved this story! It’s one of the best I have ever read. The author’s word pictures were phenomenal; the sex absolutely fabulous. The suspense, mystery and intrigue was so well written, I literally could not put the book down. The paranormal creatures completely captivated me with their texture, size and the description of their smell. This story was awesome, very well written. I would say to anyone - if you like paranormal, suspense, and good hot sex, this is a must read. If you are an aspiring author and want to effectively paint pictures with your words, this is a must read, as well as a writing course in a box. If I could give it more than five enchantments, I would. Absolutely fabulous.
Ms. Boyett-Compo is the author of fifty books, the first ten of which are the Wind Legend Saga. Married 40 years to her high school sweetheart, Tom, she is the mother of two grown sons, Pete and Mike, and the proud grandmother of Preston Alexander and Victoria Ashley.

Thirty-year-old Victor Davis is our hero, a six foot somthin’, blond hunk of gorgeous. He is a cop, Staff Sergeant Davis to be exact. Vic came to Passion as the police chief, and to get away from the death of his lover Michelle, who was killed in a drive-by shooting. Although the case was never solved, Vic knew that Michelle was killed by her husband Marshall, a big time drug runner or his minions. Because Vic needed a change of scenery he moved to Passion, two doors down from his best friend Tom, and Tom’s wife Cassie who is pregnant with their first child.
Twenty-year-old Julia Wilson is a darling little redhead with bright green eyes who gets pulled over by Cop Gorgeous, Staff Sergeant Davis to be exact, the very man she came to town to meet. She came to town to kill him for killing her older sister Michelle, or so she’s been led to believe by Marshall, Michelle’s husband. The more Julia gets to know Vic, the more she comes to realize that Marshall had to be mistaken, and the more she falls in love with Vic. But how can she ever reveal to him her true identity?
This is a story of suspense, intrigue, and murder, where one mentally broken police officer comes together with one heart broken redhead. They come together sexually, the sex evolves to love, and in the process a murder is solved, and a killer is unmasked.
This was an absolutely wonderful story, a must read for those who enjoy suspense and intrigue, the sex is good as well. I thought Shiela Stewart created marvelous characters with vibrant personalities; each character was so well defined, and blended harmoniously with the others, creating a symphony of believable relationships. I sat down last night to just read a couple of chapters and I could not put the book down until I had read the entire thing. I loved this story, the suspense, the conclusion, and the epilogue. This is a must read, and I will read it again.
Ms. Stewart lives in Saskatchewan, Canada with her husband William and their three children. She spends her days writing and maintains websites for two organizations she belongs to. Her passions aside from writing are stargazing, music, dancing, and home décor. Her favorite time of day is sunset.

Brandon, who’s very good looking, is an Emergency Room doctor with a busy schedule, but he’s never too busy to notice his lovely neighbor Gen.
Gen is a thirty-year-old virgin. She’s gorgeous and she writes romance novels, in which she uses her hunky neighbor next door as a pattern for her heroes. But she will never date or get to know him because he is a doctor.
Brandon, because of his profession, is ignored by Gen because of a fear she has that all doctors are alike. They are like her father, cold and self-serving. When she finally learns that Brandon is truly a nice guy and lets her guard down, they get together, date, and after she overcomes some of her fears, he asks her to marry him.
Cute! Cute! Cute! This is a darling sensuous love story where two single neighbors who have admired each other from a distance for some time, finally come together. I completely enjoyed the relationship evolvement in this story, it was totally believable, and when Brandon dressed as a highland laird, complete with white billowy shirt and kilt, comes knocking at Gen’s door equipped with a picnic basket, full of traditional Scottish foods, I cracked up. He was just trying to fulfill one of Gen’s fantasies from the latest romance novel she had written, and which he had purchased, to better understand her. The scenario was completely believable as well as darling. This is a cute story and well worth the read, this is a keeper; I will definitely read it again.

Miguel Ruiz was a half-breed, half Mexican and half White. Why she picked him to be her husband was beyond him, he wasn’t safe, but he WAS attracted to her!!
Abigail Sutton found herself alone when her father left her. She needed a husband and needed one fast! She sought out the only man she was attracted to, Miguel Ruiz. Besides, it was only a business arrangement, right??
This is a short historical romance that starts out as a business arrangement only, but soon blossoms to something much deeper, much more permanent, true love!
This is a great story I totally enjoyed it! The author took a creative idea, a young woman’s aloneness out on the prairie, and wove into the situation , a beautiful passionate love story, that leaves the reader with a warm tingly feeling, and a happily ever after. Great story, great read!!
Once upon a time, two little girls grew up hundreds of miles apart. They lived, they loved and especially, they read. Reading led them to finding each other and discovering a mutual love of writing. They are two lucky people who have found a best friend and a wonderful writing partner online. From that partnership, Melany Logen was born.

Toren Crushing is a biologist who has studied the integration of wolves back into Yellowstone National Forest.
Renee Faroque is a beautiful Crow Indian with the knowledge of Crow healing techniques.
This is a tale of suspense and intrigue involving the wolves of the forest, the great white wolf in particular, of the Nez Pierce Pack, and its cunning and leadership regarding man.
The word pictures in this story are phenomenal, example “The slushy crimson crystals of the snow freezing into a burst of red death,” I couldn’t put the story down once I started. It’s a quick read, it took me thirty minutes, but in that amount of time, the imagery was so clear, I could smell the forest, feel the cold, and hear the song of the wolf. This is really excellent work, and the story comes across almost like an Indian mythological tale. Excellent read!!
K.A. M’Lady currently resides in the suburbs of Chicago with her husband and three children. Her love of all things medieval draws her to the past like the last firefly at dusk in late September. She still believes that hope inspires all possibilities; dreams are always within our grasp if we just reach for them and love truly is the strongest warrior in any battle.

This is a compilation of forty-four poems that capture different aspects of human life. It is beautiful, picturesque, and romantic. I loved each section equally, but I would have to say, the part about children was my favorite. It beautifully painted childhood into a masterpiece of the delightful, the bright and the bouncy!! Remembrance, wow, what a way to colour aging, loss and death. Thank you Mr. Martin, this was truly lovely. If you enjoy beautiful poetry, this is a must read!!
The early death of his parents catapulted the author into touch with his emotions at a young age. Sincerity being the offspring of great emotion, Mr. Martin went on to easily make friends everywhere he went. Married at a young age, he quickly learned the joys of parenting. Although a divorce knocked him into depression, a love affair with a healing woman revealed to him that great sorrow can be turned into great art.

This is a compilation of forty-four poems that capture different aspects of human life. It is beautiful, picturesque, and romantic. I loved each section equally, but I would have to say, the part about children was my favorite. It beautifully painted childhood into a masterpiece of the delightful, the bright and the bouncy!! Remembrance, wow, what a way to colour aging, loss and death. Thank you Mr. Martin, this was truly lovely. If you enjoy beautiful poetry, this is a must read!!
The early death of his parents catapulted the author into touch with his emotions at a young age. Sincerity being the offspring of great emotion, Mr. Martin went on to easily make friends everywhere he went. Married at a young age, he quickly learned the joys of parenting. Although a divorce knocked him into depression, a love affair with a healing woman revealed to him that great sorrow can be turned into great art. Teaching himself to capture his emotions with paper and pen, he learned quickly the restorative powers that are unleashed when appreciating the
colors of a flower, the music of a violin, and the touch of a woman's smile.

Kenneth Ingram, a white interim professor working at Franklin College, is instantly attracted to a young Black woman he see while out walking one day. He knows in an instant that she is destined to be his mate. For Kenneth, it is love at first sight.
Unfortunately, the young woman, Chris, turns out to be one of Professor Ingram’s students. After ending an abusive relationship, she is a bit cynical when her professor tells her that he’s going to marry her. She doesn’t believe him, but she is definitely attracted to him.
This is a story about how a divorced white man, with a white mother and a black stepfather, finds love with a young black woman. Professor Ingram notices his sexy student Chris immediately, and then begins to pursue her. They develop a sexy steamy relationship together and they end up getting married.
This is a brilliant story of love, sex, relationships, and the impact of prejudice. I believe in love at first sight, and so did Professor Ingram. This is a light, fun read, encompassing some of the issues that are so prevalent in society today in a very productive way. I think the author did a lovely job interlacing these heavy topics with light fun to create a wonderful, believable story.
Ms. Cromwell‘s number one addiction is daytime soaps. She draws her inspiration for over the top and occasionally outrageous dialogue not only from her favorite daytime soaps – which she records religiously – but also from her family and friends. She‘s the first to admit that her characters are sometimes way out there, but millions of fans of the genre can‘t be wrong! You can reach her at pacd97867@cs.com or www.patcromwell.com.

Gruffydd ap Hywel, also known as the Black Dragon, is a good-looking man who is haunted by his past. He is a man who never allowed himself the pleasure of happiness.
Lady Isabelle is betrothed to Gruffydd in an arranged marriage. She does not want to go with him, but does so out of obedience and duty to her father. Will she ever find love?
This is a historical romance taking place in the thirteenth century. It is filled with murder and mystery. The man and woman do get together after much intrigue, and it ends with a beautiful Happy Ever After.
I wish sometimes I could give a book a higher rating, 5 is as high as we go, but this story was fabulous. Ms. Quinn beautifully wove romance, heartbreak, pain, happiness, and intrigue into a beautiful tapestry of a phenomenal story. I totally loved this story. I was glued from the beginning to the end, and I loved the epilogue! This is a must read, and I will read it again.
Ms. Quinn is married with children. She has been writing for years, and is the author of several acclaimed books. She is intent on writing - especially writing romance. There's something about writing these stories - creating these people and the world they live in, finding out how they fit together, and the knowledge that you're making people happy - that she loves.
