Eight of Roxanne Rhoads' previous eBook publications appear in this collection, along with two brand new, never before published tales of supernatural love and lust.

Review:

My deep rooted love for adult fiction lead me to Amazon looking for a break from everything I am reading and have been for months. I wanted something short, fast paced, raunchy and easy to read while at the same time I desired a little hint of paranormal and at least a slither of emotional connections between the characters. I got all of those things and so much more in this breath –taking [literally] collection of erotic stories.

What I loved most about this collection was there was a little bit of everything to quench my thirst. Being Bi-sexual I get turned off very quickly if I am subjected to heterosexual erotica for too long a period. Especially when I have read the same drivel, just a different cover, but this didn’t deny me of any longing and it seemed to tweak a lot of my own desires and fantasies which made it a hello of fun to read.

The stories are as follows, and rather than go through everyone one of them outlining the plot and my thoughts I feel they are better left as a surprise, an unraveling as you delve and test your reading boundaries or delight in something wicked.

1. The Last Goodbye

2. Overkill

3. Witch in the Middle

4. When it Storms

5. Monster Inside

6. The Questions Concubine

7. Reneta

8. Sea Of Blood

9. Halloween to Remember

10. Witching you a Merry Xmas

I hope you enjoy this collection if it does peak your interested and am more than happy to hear your thoughts.

P.s the last few stories are indeed heterosexual, but the story building is provoking. There were only a few stories that I read and thought WTF, the rest were decent. My favorite was Halloween to Remember as this really did sate my desires.

Publishing Spotlight - Carina Press

Carina Press

Recently I have been looking into reading outside the normal publishers, as well as getting into some Adult fiction. So upon thinking about it I considered what would be the best way to share this experience while offering others who may have not heard either about the publishing company itself or the books that are available.

This month I would like to spotlight Carina Press who have been kind enough to send me the following 2012 releases. I also thought to add a few books which are definitely on my wish list to read and review.

Carina Press is a fantastic company that has a wonderful array of themes and genres to suit every niche; from Sci-Fiction, Action, Cozy Mysteries to Steam-Punk, Dragons, Westerns and Space Opera’s. Not only are there many options to choose from but there prices are fantastic and most range from $3-$7 dollars. [Bargain] I must warn you, there are some seriously exciting titles available and it is a lot of fun shopping.

Carina Press publish Adult content only. No Y.A Literature. So if you are looking to branch beyond Y.A and are a keen Ebook reader than I most definitely recommend checking out their website.

Priestess of the Nile – Veronica Scott

The Best Mistake- Kate Watterson

I will be reading and reviewing both of these books in February so keep a look out for those reviews.

Two books that are high on my wish list to read and review are:

The Stubborn Dead - Natasha Hoar

Debut novelist in 2012 Natasha Hoar with her [January 23rd] release of The Stubborn Dead has me excited with the premise. After reading a number of fantastic reviews and circling it many times in one of my favorite romance magazines I am super keen to read this book.

Don't Bite the Messenger- Regan Summers

Also a Debut author in 2012 Regan Summers release of Don’t bite the messenger [January 16^th] release has me intrigued with her Vampire world and I am excited to get my hands on this one as soon as possible.

So go check out the website and have fun browsing and let me know your experience. I will be sharing mine.

Review/ thoughts:

Rather than do a review on this novella, I would just like to share my brief thoughts on this ebook version that you can find on Beth Fantaskey’s website.

I was a big fan of the first book in the series, Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side, and when I heard that there was a middle book between the first and the second; which I have in my pile to read, I decided I would rather read it in case there was something I missed when starting the second book. Also it was free – so why the hell not.

It was cute, it lacked substance of course, but it wasn’t really meant to progress the story any further than giving the fans something delicious to feed their desires between reading the books. I liked it, and it was worth the read and in some places it made me fantasize about what I dreamed about for a wedding. It was romantic and easy to read and while it did confuse me in some places as it was a little jumpy I would recommend it for fans of the first book and for those wanting to carry on with the series.
