Home for the holidays and hot for it.
I thought this was a nice collection of erotic fiction, all set during the holiday. And this is the best time for a little refresher. There are four novellas in all, from some of the leading erotica writers. And all are told very well and have some good spice to them. If you are looking for a diversion right now from the holiday frustrations coming up, get this one. It will take you worlds away. For a quickie, you might also try Sex Scenes: Erotica Excerpts from the Novels of Kim Corum.
Definately HOT for the holidays!
An excellant collection of short stories. Not a bad one in the bunch! A new Mageverse story by Angela Knight that will thrill (hoping for more to come!), Anya Bast & Allyson James wrote solid stories that are hopefully to be followed up by full length novels and the incomprable Lora Leigh gives us another doozy of a breed to drool over. Overall, best collection I've read in a long while.
4 Stars for the stories, 3 stars for Kindle version
The four stories in this collection - Vampire's Ball by Angela Knight, A Little Night Magic by Allyson James, Sweet Enchantment by Anya Bast, and A Christmas Kiss by Lora Leigh - were all worth the price of the book and made for good reading, especially if you are a fan of any of the authors. I won't go into many details in this review because some other reviewer can do a better job of that than I. What wasn't worth the price was the Kindle version of this book which had some really careless mistakes that the publishers should have caught.
All four stories happen around the Holidays. I bought this anthology mostly for Lora Leigh's story which is part of her Breed series - this one being Hawke's and Jessica's tale. Though a short story, I felt it was complete and satisfying. It has the author's usual action filled plot (but not as much as in her full length novels) and of course, the hot sex scenes. I'm not familiar with the other authors so I don't know if their stories in this collection is typical of their writing. However, their stories were well written with engaging characters and interesting story lines. Vampire's Ball is about Mageverse and is the tale of Ridge (a Vampire) and Kat (a latent Majae (= witch)). A Little Night Magic is about Naomi and Jamison who is a Changer (shape shifter). Sweet Enchantment is about the Fae and is a Seelie vs Unseelie romance. The main characters are Bella and Ronan.
The only frustrating aspect of this book is the errors in the Kindle version that I bought. Almost before the start of each chapter or section, a letter was missing. It was pretty easy to figure out what the first word should have been but I just don't understand how the publisher cannot have done a better job with the Kindle format. How hard can it be to use spell checker? Sometimes the missing letter was somewhere in the next few sentences. There were some spacing problems also. The formatting problems were not major enough to hinder my reading but after seeing the same errors over and over again, I got angry about the careless mistakes. After all, the Kindle version is not that much cheaper than the paper print version so the publisher should edit their ebook formats just as well as they do the paper print versions.
