Something Wicked This Way Comes, 2
Fatman & Robyn Jaid Black Jake Chamberlin, star quarterback of the New York Bloods, has a dirty, not-so-little secret—he’s into chubby chicks. He does all he can to resist temptation, but when Jake bumps into the gorgeous Robyn DiMarco at a bistro in Little Italy, all bets are off. Scarred and Kilt Laurann Dohner Matty has a new neighbor, and she strongly suspects the kilt-wearing hottie is a vampire—he only goes out at night, has weird visitors and the blood bank is making regular deliveries. But he doesn’t seem to hurt anyone, so “live and let live” is Matty’s motto. Until she sees a guy armed with crosses and wooden stakes breaking into the neighbor’s house. Matty charges to the rescue—and ends up in Mr. Hottie’s bed…and on his desk…and… Tinderbox Regina Carlysle Set in the same world as Jaguar Hunger.

Find then claim Livvy in every raw, animalistic way possible…and release her inner beast. Asterion Katalina Leon Betrayed by her village chief, Larisa is brought to a mysterious island and left bound in a subterranean labyrinth, where drops of her blood summon the mythical Minotaur.

Darron, a shapeshifting being, ravishes Larisa, and she gives herself freely to the pleasure—a decision that will change both their worlds forever. Decadent Dance Aubrey Ross Surely the dress Zoe purchased did not transport her to an alien ship, right? No. Hallucinations. Must be. Though…the gorgeous alien who greets her seems real enough. And the sex? Out of this world. Vaden has waited years for his Decadent Dancer, and though Zoe swears she didn’t know what the dress could do, Vaden has been lonely too long to be easily thwarted. He’ll use every sensual trick he knows to convince Zoe she’s right where she belongs. Sahara Heat Diana Hunter As a favor to a friend, author Carla Braun agrees to meet with archaeologist Josef Anderson to discuss his recent desert find.

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Anthologies
Six stories all about the beginnings of relationships. As to the title, to me it hinted more of the paranormal, but that wasn’t really why I read it. Two of the authors are auto-buys for me, and I’m always excited to read a story from a new (to me) author. I’ll list the order of the books as they appealed to me.
By far my favorite was Scarred and Kilt by Laurann Dohner. This author could write a captivat

Review: Aug 25, 2009
Genre(s): Paranormal Romance, Erotic Romance
Stories set in Ireland always give me pause, since honestly getting Irish cant correct can be a bother (even for native speakers). A lot of the lilt in the language is better heard then seen on paper (like the Scottish brogue). Hunter does a very good job though of making Seamus (the leprechaun)'s accent seem both honest and over the top.
What I enjoyed most about Stiches in Time was that it wasn

Review: Jun 28, 2007
Diana Hunter seems to have certainly found a genre for her talents. Her story excites, her characters control, and her settings enhance in this story of romantic love in the world of BDSM.
Phillip dominates Sarah but throughout Submission Revealed both of them are intent on fulfilling the needs of the other, and rejoicing in their love for each other.
There is nothing to say other than keep writing
