Private Eyes

Genre: Contemporary lesbian erotic romance anthology
Heat rating: 3 Novas
Exhibitionism and Voyeurism. The thrill of watching … and being watched. Enjoy them both in this collection by Michelle Houston.
The camera catches the inner soul to a person, catching the hidden emotions we are too afraid to let others see. Daria is one of those people, and just for a brief moment, she lets Lynsay see her how she really is in "The Window of the Soul."
Tempted is the best way to describe Elaine's reaction to leather; especially when it was hugging the tight curves of a woman. She prowled the clubs, secretly thrilling in the view. What she hadn't expected was to run into one of her former students -- a former student with an interesting ultimatum.
Stacie's lover Amy has arranged things so that she can indulge her exhibitionist streak in a safe environment -- from behind the safety of peepshow booth windows. She gets to be center stage, putting on a show with her lover, without the risk of getting caught. It's an exhibitionist's dream, being watched by every Peeping Tom, Dick and Harriett.

Reviewer: Terrihawk
Review: Oct 5, 2010
Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Anthologies, BDSM
This anthology consists of two very short stories. "Jewels of Desire" by D. Musgrave is the story of Sabrina, whose new boyfriend Jack has her wear a piece of erotic jewelry to work one day. It is certainly hot, but I found that I didn't really care for Sabrina. I would have appreciated learning something more about her besides her need to orgasm.

Review: Aug 15, 2010
Healing the Fox: Animal Attraction by Michelle Houston is short and sweet. It’s the fifth book in the Animal Attraction series. Healing the Fox falls under twenty pages, and for such a short novella, it’s still a sexy and fun read.
Scott is a vet at a wildlife rehabilitation center. When a fox is brought in with a broken leg, Scott immediately recognizes that the fox is a fellow

Reviewer: Diana Coyle
Review: Feb 18, 2009

Rick was always in Katherine’s life and was there for her through the good and bad times. I really hoped on a wing and a prayer they would both realize just h
