Blurb: Five smoldering tales of gay submission and domination! Five best-selling erotica authors bring you their hottest gay historical stories of desires that cannot be denied.

From ruthless sultans, cruel emperors, and barbarian war chiefs, to captive warriors, arrogant princes, and thieves caught in the act, some men must dominate…, and some men must submit.

83 pages of sizzling sensuality! These stories are available only in this collection.

“Captured by the Sultan,” by Cherry Dare. A tale too hot for the Arabian Nights! When a young jewel thief is captured in the sultan’s bedchambers, the sultan makes him an offer: he can face the consequences for his crimes, or he can spend one night doing everything he can to please the dominating sultan!

“Caught by Scylla,” by Isabel Dare. A beautiful but arrogant prince sails too close to the lair of the legendary Scylla. The monstrous being’s slick tendrils caress the humiliated prince everywhere, while an entire ship full of sailors watches!

“Bound for Pleasure,” by Calandra Hunter. When the Roman commander Titus is captured by barbarian war chief Brinno, Titus uses his body to barter for his freedom. Titus thinks his only desire is to escape, but will he change his mind when he experiences the pleasures of submission for the very first time?

“He Whom the Gods Love,” by Lyla Luray. Hades, the god of the underworld, burns with frustration while his wife Persephone is away. So his lusty brother Poseidon arranges an encounter with a gorgeous young man, Lysander. Pierced by love’s arrow, Lysander experiences his first time in Hades’s powerful arms!

“The Emperor’s Pet,” by Dawn South. When Cornelius is imprisoned by the Roman emperor, he finds solace in bonding with the other captives. But they must all publicly perform for the emperor’s pleasure… and Cornelius’s new friends must break him in!

Review: As most anthologies go, there are always some stories that stand out more than others do. As a whole, this was a worthwhile read, but two stood above the others for me, Bound for Pleasure by Calandra Hunter and Captured by the Sultan by Cherry Dare.

Bound for Pleasure is a sure winner just because it features a Roman warrior and a barbarian, I mean, come on sexual tension and reluctant submission turned hot passion! I can’t blame him for not wanting to escape after those hot encounters! And everyone loves a fairytale prince, or sultan, and he’s wicked smart too! Tempting a tricky and elusive cat burglar into his bed is easy and sexy in the end!

All the stories seem to contain the usual light-hearted, sexy BDSM fare, with the exception of Caught by Scylla by Isabel Dare. Being captured by a sea monster, a scary tentacled molestation turned orgasm filled encounter…that one was one of the most creative yet not quite convincing scenes for me! I pondered that one for quite a while afterward!

Fun short reads to put a grin on your face and a flush on your cheeks.

Blurb: Prince Alar is notorious… and tormented.

The prince’s decadence is as famous as his extraordinary beauty. Rumor holds that he murdered his own brother to get one step closer to the throne. Some believe him to be the son of a fallen angel. But beneath his icy exterior, the prince burns with secret guilt… and untapped passion.

Farm boy Garin is innocent… and reckless.

Garin is shocked when Prince Alar rides into his village and demands that the young men strip for his inspection… so he can select one as his new slave! To protect his brother, Garin volunteers, leaving his peaceful village– and his innocence– behind. But even naked and chained, he is no helpless victim.

At the palace, Garin discovers a new world of decadent sex, dangerous intrigue, and devastating passion. But from the moment the arrogant prince puts a collar around Garin’s throat and claims him as his own, the men are bound together in more ways than one.

From sadistic sex games to tender caretaking, from erotic awakenings to a deadly gladiatorial match, their journey together pushes both men to their physical and emotional limits… and beyond.

A novel of the passion that consumes the love that sustains, and the ties that bind.

This erotic romance is intended for mature readers. It contains graphic scenes of gay sex and gay BDSM.

“Prince of Silk and Thorns” was originally published in serialized form under the title of “The Prince’s Defiant Slave.” It contains the complete text of the series, but has been corrected and revised, and some new scenes have been added.

Review: I must say I’ve always rooted for the bad boys, had a thing for dark, dominate and dangerous and this steamy novel fits that bill. Even in the opening scenes where the main character Prince Alar seems ruthless, I warm up to him. Throughout the story, as Garin shows his willingness to serve, and protect, the author reveals Alar’s softer side all the while the wicked is still there, a hard front to protect what’s his.

The BDSM content includes pain, public displays, discipline, and obvious master/slave scenarios. I thoroughly enjoy it when the hard and wicked Alar shows that he cares for his slave by treating his wounds himself and keeping Garin protected in his own quarters.

This is also a fantasy/historical, in days of Prince’s, Kings, Queens, and all the court intrigues that abound. The plot surrounding the fight for power is entertaining and keeps the story moving right along at a brusque and tantalizing pace.

If you like, romantic tales of kings and courts, along with some very hot BDSM, this book is for you! I’ll certainly read it again!
