Alluring Tales: Hot Holiday Nights

This book was great I really enjoyed the first book and this one just made it better. This one contains darker aspect of sex but still enjoyable. This one contained more dominance but just as much romance. This is one for people who are looking for something a little more than just vanilla sex.

"Peaches and Cream" by Cathryn Fox Jennifer Angel, a psychology student and bartender for an exclusive erotic club, agrees to be set up on a blind date with Jack Miller. When her best friend suggests she Google® Jack, Jennifer decides to look up herself as well. And when she discovers there's a stripper Jennifer Angel, aka Peaches, Jennifer decides to take a chance and act out her wildest fantasies. The premise of "Peaches and Cream" is a delightful one. A sassy heroine gets to act out her deepest fantasies with a gorgeous hero and, for part of the tale, his best friend. Yet while the plot sounds fun, I never really got into the story itself. Cathryn Fox piles one erotic encounter after another, which would be fine if I had any emotional connection with the either Jack or Jennifer, which I didn't. While the sex scenes were hot, the way in which they were presented seemed to me a bit awkward at times. In particular, the ménage scene seemed a bit forced, as if it were included for the sake of having a ménage scene. The story indicated there was a romantic connection between Jennifer and Jack, but it strained credulity that I was supposed to believe the two had such a connection purely because Ms. Fox told me so; in other words, I didn't feel it. I have read another of Ms. Fox's stories before and enjoyed it, but "Peaches and Cream" was just not for me. "Indecent Exposure" by Delilah Devlin Trouble has come back into town in the form of Harmony Wilkins. She's had a crush on Sheriff Dalton McDonough since they were in high school and she's returned home, determined to get her man. Even if she has to risk arrest to do it. There's something fun about a heroine brazen enough to strip down and skinny-dip in strangers pools in order to catch her dream man's attention. "Indecent Exposure" has the potential to be a sexy, fun story. Dalton is the archetypal alpha male who will take charge of his hellion heroine when needed. Harmony starts out as entertaining, but her boldness quickly becomes trying. I felt that I should like Harmony, since she's the heroine of the story, but she seemed to lack depth. Though it fizzled out, "Indecent Exposure" definitely appeals to the sense of "what if" when thinking about that elusive high school crush so many of us had. "Forbidden Fruit" by Lisa Renee Jones When her brother's sexy best friend moves back into town, Laura Cameron decides it's time to make her move. For years sexual tension has built between her and Blake Alexander, but fear of her brother's reaction has kept Laura and Blake apart. But now Matt has roped Blake into participating in a charity bachelor auction - a masked charity auction - and Laura's not letting a good opportunity pass her by. "Forbidden Fruit" sizzles with the hero and heroine's previously unrequited passion finally being fulfilled. Lisa Renee Jones definitely turned up the heat between the very likeable Blake and Laura. The only problem I had with the story i

"Silver Waters" by Vivi Anna. On the run, Sangria and Vance take a heated break in the Caribbean. These seven fun erotic tales are mostly spice with a sprinkle in spite of being very short for any happenings beyond the sexual encounters that run the gamut from ménage a trois, S & M bondage, and anal.

PEACHES & CREAM by Cathryn Fox Working as a bartender at Risque, a members-only erotic club has left Jennifer Angel with certain fantasies which she hasn't indulged in yet. She's been set up on a blind date and her best friend, Cat, suggests she Google him. She also Googles herself and discovers that she shares her namesake with a striper who goes by the name of Peaches. Dare she make her fantasies a reality with her unsuspecting date? After all, he has no idea she isn't really Peaches. Fantasy is the name of the game with this story. Cathryn Fox allows readers to visualize Jennifer and Jack's first meeting in startling clarity and even a bit of wistfulness and envy. This is a sinfully wicked tale that delights the senses. INDECENT EXPOSURE by Delilah Devlin Harmony has harbored an infatuation with Dalton since her teenage years. Back then she'd watched him at his most intimate moments and has fantasized about him ever since. What better way to garner Dalton's attention now that he's a very sexy sheriff than skinny dipping in the very pool where she was busted years ago - by his father? Remember that high school `hero' that stared in all your fantasies? Delilah Devlin expands on that idea and gives readers a chance to imagine what could have happened - if only that boy had noticed you. Of course she puts a very naughty twist to the tale. FORBIDDEN FRUIT by Lisa Renee Jones Laura's been infatuated with her brother's friend Blake since her early teenage years. She's come home for her brother's Super Bowl party and as soon as they see each other again the sparks start flying. Blake's not about to risk the friendship and closeness he shares with her family by getting involved with her but what if she devises a way for them to be together without anyone else knowing? What a fun story! Lisa Renee Jones masterfully brings Laura and Blake's long denied desires to light in a big way. What makes this story is so sinfully delightful is Laura's spunky personality and determination to `win her man.' BILLBOARD BABE by Myla Jackson Advertising Executive Angie, a.k.a. A.J., has taken a huge risk by posing as the woman on the billboard. Granted no one would ever realize that the traffic stopping babe is her but that doesn't stop her from being nervous about the whole thing. She's most nervous about Daniel's reaction to the billboard. They were supposed to come up with an advertising campaign together and he has no knowledge of what she's done. A.J.'s secretly been in love with Daniel for years, could she seduce him using her `alter ego'? Myla Jackson puts a modern spin on the Plain Jane to Belle of the Ball with absolutely delightful results - and of course plenty of sexual high jinks. A.J. is a character many readers will be able to relate to and that alone makes her highly memorable. WISH UPON A STAR by Sasha White Sarah loves the BDSM lifestyle but she's become a little disillusioned since she began taking in clients who

Connected Stories: Alluring Tales 1: Awaken the Fantasy More than a year and a half ago, seven talented authors teamed together to create a memorable collection of erotic stories in ALLURING TALES 1: AWAKEN THE FANTASY. That collaboration worked so well that this group of authors decided to do it again, following up their first book together with a new release for Fall 2008 - ALLURING TALES 2: HOT HOLIDAY NIGHTS. The stories run the gamut from contemporary romance to paranormal romance to science fiction, but one essential element in each is a heaping helping of eroticism. Each tale is a sort of vignette in the day of these characters lives, although some do actually span a little longer than a day. Although the stories are brief, the authors manage to immerse you completely in their individual worlds while they last, and each tale is sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of readers. ~PEACHES AND CREAM by Cathryn Fox~ Jennifer is a smart girl - too smart to let a prime opportunity pass her by. So when she finds her chance to live out her sexually fantasies with her oh-so-yummy and more than willing blind date, she lets herself go completely. Fans of Cathryn Fox's Pleasure Games series first met Jennifer in the third book of that series, PLEASURE EXCHANGE, where Jennifer was that heroine's neighbor. With her snappy wit and lively personality, she made a memorable appearance. That wit is back in PEACHES AND CREAM, where Ms. Fox once again delivers a story that manages to be both funny and ultra-hot at the same time. Series Order: Pleasure Control (Pleasure Games) Pleasure Prolonged (Avon Red) Pleasure Exchange (Avon Red) ~INDECENT EXPOSURE by Delilah Devlin~ Once upon a time, Harmony Wilkins had the crush of all crushes on the hottest guy in high school - Dalton McDonough. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do in hopes of catching his attention. Fate moved Harmony far away, but now she is back, and even twelve years later, old habits seem to die hard. This time, however, her sexy hijinks meet with much more success than they did before... Who of us hasn't that one high school crush we never forgot? Wouldn't you just love to meet up with that person again now and see what might have been? In INDECENT EXPOSURE, we get to live that fantasy right along with the story's heroine, Harmony. This vicarious thrill is ultimately satisfying in some much deeper ways as we find that sometimes love just needs the right place and right time to blossom fully. ~FORBIDDEN FRUIT by Lisa Renee Jones~ Laura Cameron has a problem. She's in love with her brother's best friend. Always has been, probably always will be. It was easier to ignore it when the object of her affection was constantly out of town, in service with the Army. Now Blake Alexander is back for good, and she's not sure she can hide it any longer, no matter how much her brother might frown on the pairing. I am always a sucker for romances where the lead character
