Bedtime, Playtime: Ellora's Cave

Loved this anthology. It was hot and spicy, just like the sex and the characters. Great authors.

The Ellora's Cave books are excellent collections of erotic short stories written by women for women. The three stories included in this book are all very good, and written by long-standing Ellora's Cave authors. In Warlord by the excellent Jaid Black, Janet Duval's trip to Scotland takes a strange turn when she and a friend suddenly find themselves transported back to medieval Scotland. Euan Donald has had little luck with women, but when he is confronted with the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, he will stop at nothing to make her his own. = Definitely the best story in the book, Jaid Black does a great job of presenting a great story, with interesting characters and an wonderful relationship. In Adam 483: Man or Machine? by Ruth D. Kerce, Captain Tyree Samou of the mineral freighter HCS Jenway, is bored by her unfulfilling life, but has no idea what to do to end her ennui. Her brother has given her a gift of a security android, Adam 483, but there's more to this `bot than meets the eye, and Tyree is very grateful indeed. = A very good story. I rather liked the characters and the sci-fi setting, and the sex is hot, hot, hot! Bachelorette by Sherri L. King tells the story of Catherine Stowe, a woman leading a double life. Never having truly recovered from her betrayal by her fiancé and best friend, she spends her off hours teasing and belittling men. But, when she meets Gideon Fevere she finds that she has meet a man who is truly a man, the kind of man who can touch her in ways she never thought possible. = A good story, with interesting characters in a very interesting situation. This is another great Ellora's Cave book, one that definitely continues their tradition of excellence in erotica! Get a copy today! (Review of Bedtime, Playtime: Ellora's Cave)

This is a great anthology. I thought it was a fun and easy read. I particularily liked the story "Bachelorette", which ended up being my favorite. I would defintely buy more books from Ellora's Cave if they are all this good. I really like the hot alpha males in the stories. A must have, along with Male/Female/Male and Romantic Hedonism: Two Erotic Novels.

I LOVED THIS BOOK...its hard to pick a fav. because i really like all of the stories worth the purchase and worth reading. KEEPER

This book contains three short stories, described below. 5 stars for WARLORD by Jaid Black. Good story telling for erotica. This was a fun story, very hot and good characters.

Very inventive sex with lots of sex toys and tying up. Usually this much sex comes with a weak story, but in this story the plot was pretty good. If you're looking for an erotic turn on, this is it.

Review Date 2-13-10. 3 stars for ADAM 483: MAN OR MACHINE? By Ruth D. Kerce. Heavy with erotic sex. The story was a little weak. This is one of those stories that are primarily for sex with the story as secondary. I prefer a little more story and/or character development. But it was ok. Adam is a man who nearly died in an accident but was saved with robotic body parts. He is called a cyborg. Cyborgs become outlawed so he lives in secret. He is hired as a protector for Tyree, a ship's captain, thinking he is a robot (not a cyborg). Data: Story length: 95 pages. Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: four or more.
