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. Private investigators Nate and Daniel don’t expect to find their mate while working a case. But they recognize Olivia as theirs the second they catch the missing woman’s scent—the scent of a female jaguar shifter in heat. Nate and Daniel’s task? 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. She expects the man-beast to take her life…but it’s her body that’s sacrificed. 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. To her dismay, the man’s infuriating…as well as tall, blond, gorgeous—and into BDSM. If she can look beyond Dr. Anderson’s cool exterior, Carla just might discover some scorching Sahara Heat…

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
Sugar Roux Voodoo
New Orleans, 1834. Lark La Beau is a green-eyed beauty and respected beneficent voodoo priestess with the sometimes uncooperative gift of clairvoyance. Captain Valcour Curry is a debonair, larger-than-life buccaneer with ambition to burn and a taste for fine things. Following a whirlwind romance with Lark, he disappears at sea, leaving Lark with a riverboat and a child to rear—alone.
A guilty act of piracy causes Valcour to fall victim to a shapeshifting magician who practices the dark art of soul-swapping. For five years Valcour has been enslaved as an emotionless zombie with no memory of his loved ones or past. From dusk to dawn he is cursed to toil in the cane fields while the evil magician uses his soul to lure women and have his brutal way with them.
Lark will risk hell and journey to the oppressive Broken Oak Plantation to break the curse. It’s a terrifying place. Her only tools to call Valcour’s lost soul back to life are voodoo and the sensual power of love.

Review: Jun 17, 2010
I really loved this story by Ms. Leon, it was a fantastic blend of spicy romance with a very interesting historical setting. She clearly did her research for the time period. There were even some very light elements of bondage and dominance in the story.
The main character of this story was Astellus Dolabella, a Roman citizen, who has been assigned the position of Magistrate for the area of Belgica in Gaul.

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, May-December / Age Gap
Beautiful Stranger by Katalina Leon is what an erotic novel should be. The writing is tight, the plot well thought out and the story flows. I could see the scenes and the characters, hear the music and smell the bayou.
The heroine, Lily, is someone I'd like and get along with. She rang true and not like the usual heroine in an older woman younger man story. The hero, David, was everything a hero in

Review: Jan 7, 2010
Genre(s): Erotic Romance, BDSM
Leon's quickie about a former student returning to the college she graduated from and the second chance at the attraction between herself and the professor she still lusts for capitalizes on the fantasy. There is definitely something titillating about fantasizing about a hot teacher you’ve known. The societal taboo plus the instinctual need to be acknowledged as superior to your peers make f
Noblesword
Gwen and Jeff Bel Geddes are an attractive couple in their early forties who have loved each other since college—too bad they’re getting a divorce…
Jeff’s unexpressed desires have led him to Noblesword Vineyards, an exclusive sexual boutique that caters to sophisticated tastes. Gwen is desperately curious to know what has attracted Jeff to Noblesword. She goes to the vineyard undercover, willingly signs a contract stating she is the sexual property of Noblesword, and turns herself over body and soul to be transformed into an erotic plaything for dominant men.
Noblesword is a lush “free play zone” where adults can express their deepest fantasies and test their personal boundaries. Erotic games of every description play out behind its walls. Gwen must determine for herself if the risqué Noblesword is as dangerous as it looks or simply an erotic circus of the mind.
Reader Advisory: Noblesword Vineyard is a sexual dream come true, where boundaries are almost limitless and sexual expression is encouraged. In that spirit, the novel contains some sensual f/f interaction along with a detailed m/m/f ménage.
