Haunted Hotties Vol 01

by

Kiernan Kelly, Laney Cairo, Alex Cohen, Katey Hawthorne, Jamie Jennings, Aaron Michaels, Jacey Mills, L.J. Hamlin, Shira Glassman, Sheri Velarde, Kassandra Lea, Mychael Black

This Halloween collection has a little something for everybody. With demons, ghosts, psychics, reapers, shifters, and witches… a rainbow of paranormal/supernatural is included.

In Nine-Tenths of the Law by Kiernan Kelly, Oliver discovers he has a haunted sex toy. In Bear Hugs by Laney Cairo, Martin’s boyfriend might be bear shifter and apparently that’s news to him. In Houdini’s Masquerade by Alex Cohen, when Lila meets a succubus, everything changes. In Præsidium by Katey Hawthorne, Thackeray needs helps from a witch who won’t help him until he explains his demon. In Black Cat by Jamie Jennings, when a cat shifter can see ghosts, Micah’s simple life suddenly isn’t. In Haunted Honeymoon by Aaron Michaels, Dylan and Jake seem to be sharing their non-honeymoon with a couple of ghosts.

In And the Tarot Cards Said by Jacey Mills, an insistent ghost shouldn’t be too much to handle for psychic Vassily and his Tarot-reading assistant Ben. In Spirit Wolf by L.J. Hamlin, when Dawson rescues an injured wolf shifter, it’s not just his book that gets worked on while getting back to nature. In Wet Nails by Shira Glassman, it’s not every day a glamorous ’50s actress comes out of a TV but lonely grad student Adina isn’t complaining. In Possessed by Love by Sheri Velarde, a storm trapping them together gives Andrew and Damian the chance they’ve been waiting for. In The Last Night by Kassandra Lea, Eric gets one night a year and he always picks one particular Halloween. In Molly by Mychael Black, Detectives Cameron and Chase discover the murderer plaguing their city is more sinister than they could have known and not entirely human.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Hot damn! This is going to be one fascinating and extremely hot series. You need to read the first book though. It will give you more of a background into their lives.

I think I fell in love with these guys and there is nothing sexier than when two brothers find love with each other. I mean when these two get together it is smoking hot. Riley has gone back to the job he had lost ten years ago when he was turned into a vampire, but this time he is with his brother Jonah. And when I say with his brother, I do mean in every way.

They have a murderer to find and it leads them to a mortal. Jonah will do everything in his power to keep his brother and lover safe, even transforming into a vampire also. They are what ones call special even in the vampire world. They can walk in the daytime. And someone wants to drain the day walkers and take their blood for themselves. So Jonah is more intense than he once was. He will protect the one he loves.

This is an extremely hot book and I look forward to reading the next book in this amazing series. I loved it and I fell in love with these gorgeous men. I also got a kick out of the fact that they are brothers. The sex between them is hot and a turn on for me. Mychael gave me everything I could possibly want in this story except I was left wanting more. It gave me gorgeous men who carry badges and just happen to be vampires, excitement, adventure, suspense, mystery, danger and some hot sex.

I would recommend reading this story, trust me you won’t regret it.

Blurb: Gamer Elijah Burrows has rather seamlessly taken over the life of his game character, Elian Surgis, in the world of Timiria. Alongside his lover, the lupine mage Sarin Eckhert, Elijah leads survivors of Sarin’s mystical order through the wilds of the province of Tasmorum. They manage to stay just one step ahead of Timiria’s monarch, King Mirov, who seeks to destroy every magic-wielding soul connected to the Labyrinthine Order.

From encounters with a mysterious group of traders on the road, to a revelation of epic proportions, it’s a miracle Elijah has any time to explore his relationship with Sarin. Then Fate throws a wrench into the mix: the appearance of another “traveler” — another gamer stuck in the game world Elijah now calls home. But this particular gamer has ulterior motives that have nothing to do with the Order’s survival.

Review: He was now getting use to this new world and his lover Sarin. Sarin was a lupine mage and he was helping Elijah protect and lead the survivors to a safe place. They came across a woman pretending to not only be a captured wife but a servant. In fact, she was indeed royalty. They were trying to get the end of Mirov out of the way. He was an evil lord that wanted magic-wielding souls.

Sarin and Elija have very little time exploring their lives together. Elijac was also Elian a surprising twist. Sarin and Elian had been lovers for a while. Sarin had seen something in him that made him want to release him from the prison he set in and love him for life. Now he was here with Elija/Elian in more than just love, but protection and survival. The twist to this story was another gamer had found his way into their lives. Except he had chosen to work for Mirov. A gamer that has ulterior motives that might just get them all killed.

This story was a blast to read and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next story. I love the way it just comes together. I also love Elija and Sarin. They are so sexy and protective of each other. They are in love and are just trying to survive and keep their friends safe. They are trying to get rid of evil and give the world back to those who intend goodness.

I would recommend reading this story if you love dark fantasy, paranormal, magical beings, earthlings that get caught in a world that they created, excitement, adventure and suspense, danger coming at them all and hot sex.

Blurb: Lone wolf Korin Meyers has never told anyone his most closely guarded secret. Everything changes the moment he meets the man he’s been lusting after: Beau Trainor, a dragon guard in Bryn Navarro’s clan.

Beau only meant to meet the wolf who’d captured his attention. He sure as hell didn’t expect to discover the man is his mate. Now they’re both facing a challenge they knew would come, but hadn’t fully prepared for.

With the Navarro clan going to war against its demonic enemies, it falls on Korin, a packless alpha wolf with a history no one expected, to lead the dragons into the bowels of the earth. The Navarro clan is hoping for the element of surprise. What they get is an ambush. Korin finally finds the demons responsible for the destruction of his entire home and his kin and he wants nothing but revenge. But what price is he willing to pay for it?

Review: This is part of a series and best to be read in order for full impact. I think you could follow it but you may be a bit lost as to who all the characters are. Warning: There is sex in here with partially shifted characters, and shifted characters.

I like this series. I’m leaving out the run down since this book is so short and the blurb above pretty much says all I can without spoilers. The characters are dragon shifters, demons, vampires, werewolves plus some other mixed breeds. I find these characters quite interesting and they are in keeping of what you think they should be. (In other words not sparkly…)Beau is a dragon shifter and has just met Korin, a werewolf (or is he?)and found his mate. I really liked Korin and his secrets surprised me.

This story moves fast and there isn’t a lot of backstory or character description that is why it’s best to read in order. There is the connection between Korin and Beau some hot sex then we get straight into the mystery, which also moves very quickly but for a book of only 38 pages it has to. The end has more sex and a surprise of Tia finally laying her eggs. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

If you enjoy fantasy, paranormal, shifters, especially dragons, a bit of mystery a fast-paced short story and some pretty hot mansex this is for you!

Blurb: Witchcraft and homosexuality are punishable by death, but it doesn’t stop Lucca Moretti from embracing both. Lucca fears no man, but he has one weakness: his twin brother, Gabriele. When tragedy strikes, Lucca and Gabriele have few options, but they do have allies. They flee from the wreckage of their family’s home and take refuge in the home of Lorik, the unofficial leader of the vampires in the city of Rome. Lorik offers them safety, but not without a price.

Gabriele has spent years fighting an unholy desire for his twin, but even his fear is no match for the lure of Lucca’s kiss. In this new world they’ve stumbled into, however, there is much more to the people around them than meets the eye.

The vampires are at war, and Lorik’s court mage sees something in Lucca that could turn the tide in their favor. Secrets come to light which can either aid the twins in saving the new family they’ve found, or destroy them all.

Review: Warning!  This book contains Twincest, mild domination and a ménage.  So if any of these things turn you off, this book isn’t for you.

Now having warned you I did know the book contained Twincest and I will be honest, I still don’t know how I feel about Twincest.   This is a very hard book to review so I took my time and thought it over carefully.  I don’t like giving half stars so that’s why we have a four.  I gave it a moderate on the heat level since there is a lot of sex scenes throughout the book, however I found them tasteful and sensual not outright explicit to me. Explicit is a graphic description of the act and body parts and coarse descriptive words.  So, I loved the story and in my opinion, the sex is moderate. I thought it was very sexy, and sensual. 

I will say this, the domination part was so mild I could have done without it and it would not have taken away from the book. I can’t say much on the ménage since it will be  a spoiler, but I was ok with-it  found it sensual and I do  give Kudos  on how that  relationship went and can’t wait for the next  book to since I have a feeling it may be Dorian’s story.  At least I hope so. 

Now for my actual review. The storyline was action packed and very intriguing. I love Mychael Black’s take on vampires. They are gritty, violent and different from the norm. Nope you won’t find sparkly here, though Gabriele is close … I liked the mage, vamp combination. For some reason I really liked Lucca, though I think he needed to be a tad bit tougher, but perhaps that will come as he grows into his powers since he is just becoming a vampire here.  I liked the combination also of passion, fear, sensuality, and sadness. (Yes, you will need a tissue near the end.)

To sum things up… I recommend this if you like vampires, mages, shadows, spirits, sensual sex, devoted love and Twincest.

Reviewer: Thommie

Blurb:Dr. Alex Greene and his best friend, Dr. Darren Webb, have known one another for several years. They’ve danced around an unspoken attraction for most of that time, but since they’re both Masters in the BDSM lifestyle, they’ve never attempted anything more than friendship. That’s all about to change when Darren suggests they both sign up at the Black Velvet Society website.

Alex is, at heart, a submissive, but he swore off all chances of submitting after a bad experience years ago. He harbors an intense crush on his best friend, Darren, but acting on it would mean submitting. When a Master named LaCroix at a BDSM website suggests a weeklong, online-only session, Alex takes the plunge.

But LaCroix has a secret all his own, and when Alex discovers it, everything changes.

Review: I disliked the cover with a passion. I really don’t pay much attention to them when I pick a book, but this one nearly put me off. If I wasn’t a “don’t judge the book by its cover” kind of person, I’d definitely have passed this one.

Now that said I loved the story. It was short but to the point and very well written. The characters made sense and their interaction was hot as hell. The plot was pretty simple; Alex has been crushing on Darren for years, the share kinks and fetishes, they are both Doms, but Alex started as a sub. Deep down he is a sub or would have been if his first experience hadn’t put him off for good.

Now the attraction between the characters is not merely told here, you can actually feel floating through the text. As I said, the story is extremely well written and all emotions/feelings are near tangible making the read highly sensual and erotic. Alex’s want and longing, his fear and apprehension, everything is delivered beautifully, loading the text with intensity and anticipation.

Darren decides to take the plunge and approach Alex in a sneaky way, hoping he’ll feel safer in a more controlled environment, thus he takes them both in an online site with the pretence of finding a sub online. When Alex is approached by a Dom on this site he submits to him for a week in order to discover if he’s still capable of submitting, and realises that he can’t keep circling around what eats him the most; his longing for his best friend, even if he’ll have to face all his fears once and for all.

There is the dilemma of how ethical was it for Darren to play Alex like that. Didn’t it hurt the trust between them in the end? Shouldn’t Alex have felt betrayed by the way it happened? Does the end justify the means? Is everything allowed in the name of love? Weird isn’t it that such a short story would raise so many profound questions. I’d like to have the opportunity to have this conversation with this particular author, and it’s a rare thing for me to feel this way, especially from a short story. I’m baffled with myself!

Moving on to the erotic part, well it was the cherry on top for as it revolved around my favourite kinks. Edging and fisting with a rough treatment from the Dom and dear starts upon the sky, it was a highly tense and erotic read. At least it had me hanging from every word and panting in tandem with the characters, so kudos to the author, you’ve intrigued me into searching and reading more of what you have to offer.

Summing it up: kinks and fetishes the genre, middle-aged men characters (and I kept forgetting it), friends-to-lovers as well and if you’re so inclined take the chance for it was one wild ride. Strongly recommended!

Her escort, Loren Cole, is taking her to the dragons’ king: Bryn. Tia barely remembers Bryn at all from their time as drakelings, and she certainly never saw Loren before he showed up at Marcus’. Preservation of their kind means mating, which shouldn’t be a problem…except she doesn’t want to be a queen.

When a figure from Loren’s past attempts to quench all chances of their survival, Bryn and Loren chase the enemy into the depths of the earth, desperate to reach Tia before it’s too late

Review:  I haven’t read many stories with dragon shifters so I was pleasantly surprised with this find. I will start off by saying I got a little confused at first and it felt like part of another series, not a first book. So, I did a little research and found it is actually a spin-off of the Dark Reign series. After the first few chapters, it stands alone pretty well. Personally, I wish books that are spun from others series would say so in the front and have reading order and series numbers where they are easy to find.

This book is about Tia, the last female dragon shifter that has been in hiding and Bryn the king of the remaining dragon shifters and his consort and captain of the guards Loren. The story is good, but I found it a little confusing. I can’t say much about why I feel this way without giving spoilers. There was a little mystery but it came and went very fast. I wish it had unfolded much more slowly even if it made the book longer. 

I really loved all the characters. Each held their own personality well. I found the sex very hot. I will warn you that the shifters do shift during sex and have sex in shifted forms. I actually loved this. I found it different and hot.

 

If you’re looking for something different to read and like dragon shifters, mmf ménage, Kings, reluctant queens, and very hot sex with shifted shifters this is for you!

Review: I absolutely loved this book. This will be a little hard for me to do justice since I have not read the first three books. Trust me that this story stood well on its own but made my mouth water to read the other three. I could feel the love, the passion, and the angst between both Ryan and Elian. I cannot wait to read the other books to find out what happened to Ryan to put him in this position. I am very happy that Elian has stepped in to reclaim him and that they can go forward.

I really want to know what happened to Ryan to cause him to lose everything and bring him to this low level in his life. I LOVED Elian and that he has had to endure watching Ryan lose everything and nearly die. Not be able to step in, but has finally being able to save him, at the last-minute. 

This is a very well written, intriguing short story that makes you want to know more. The characters are well-developed, and the feelings are so deep and passionate.  I am intrigued by both the characters and the story.

If you like Christmas wishes, Angels, a man down on his luck, sweet, loving relationships and some pretty hot mansex; this is definitely for you!

Blurb:Eight men, four public venues, tons of hot action.

Whether it’s a dark movie theater or a snow-covered park, these men have a thing for sex in public places. In “Opposites Attract” a long-haired rocker finds himself the object of a jock’s affection in the middle of a movie theater. “Starting Over” for one man leads to hot chocolate and the best blowjob of his life in a snowy park. A Dom puts his beloved sub through sweet pain in “Birthday for a Slave.” And finally, two sword-fighting instructors give in to their mutual attraction during a RenFaire in “Faire Game.”

The four stories in this collection were previously published under the name Kay Derwydd. They have been re-edited for release in this collection.

Review:Public Displays of Affection is a short story collection of four stories centered on public sex.
Birthday for a slave
it’s Lucas birthday and his Dom Kynan has a special, erotic treat planned for him. 
This is very good, very hot, very sexy, story of D’s relationship. The public sex in a crowded club is extremely sexy.

Opposites Attract
Eric has to live in a dorm this semester and his roommate Russ has a handsome brother that lives in the Frat house. Eric has never been with a jock. His roommate Russ says his brother Carson likes him and also likes public sex. Their first night together they have hot sex in a movie theater.

Starting over
Chris is stood up by Justin, again, on Christmas Eve. This time Justin dumps Chris. Michael sees the argument and brings Chris hot chocolate. What happens next is hot enough melt the snow. You will have to read the book to see for yourself. It’s HOT!

Faire Game
Cory and Jason are sparring at the renaissance Faire and the swordplay gets really sexy.

I recommend this book to anyone that likes a good collection of smoking hot short stories and of course public displays of affection. (Sorry I couldn’t resist.)

Blurb:   Lance Shaw has achieved the impossible: secured an interview with the enigmatic and reclusive leader of the Inferi Brotherhood, a splinter group of vampires that broke off from the Romanorum in the 13th century. When he meets Triarius, he’s instantly intrigued. The vampire is petite but possesses a personality that far exceeds anyone Lance has ever known. Triarius isn’t beautiful by any means, and the silver mask he wears over half his scarred face attests to the brutality of his world. But just when Lance thinks he’s done, Triarius changes the game. Abducted and dragged deep beneath the Snowdonia Mountains in Wales, Lance discovers an entire world no one has ever seen, and, in time, he discovers the true man behind the silver mask.

Review: Lance is a reporter and has been investigating vampires for years. He gets an interview with Triarius, the mysterious, dangerous head of the Brotherhood, but does he get more than he bargained for?

I really liked this book. I loved that the vampires were evil, scary creatures. I liked how the tow bonded. I also liked the fact that Triarius wore a mask, his face was disfigured, and he wasn’t the typical pretty boy, hot sexy vampire model.

I did feel this book reminded me way to much of Interview with a Vampire though, and there was a lot of repetition in the sex scenes, but over-all the story was fascinating, captivating, and pretty hot too.

I recommend this if you like reporters, new worlds, Ghouls and of course Vampires!

Blurb: Mael Black, vampire prince of London, and his vampire-hunting angel, Cian, are back in their third and final book!

An ancient force has awakened and is hellbent on nothing short of the total destruction of the Romanorum. Mael and Cian are thrust into the middle of things, and it’s ultimately on their shoulders to save the Romanorum itself. In the meantime, they’ve got their hands full with bringing a new son into their family, and Mael’s father trying to force Mael to denounce his relationship with Cian.

Betrayals and violent court intrigue set the stage for what promises to be an epic end to Mael and Cian’s story. But it’s only the beginning for others…

Review: This book is part of a series and I would advise reading the series in order… oh and also reading the Blood series by Shayne Carmichael and also the Inferi Brotherhood series by Mychael Black as characters from both those series make appearances in this book. It’s been four years since we last saw Mael and Cian. A long, long wait but finally they are here. This book continues from not long after And The Two Shall Become One ends and Nigel (Meal’s father) is still causing trouble for Meal and Cian, but now a bigger threat is emerging that could affect the whole of the Romanorum.

This is a great final addition to The Prince’s Angel series (or Legends of the Romanorum if you prefer) that gives us excitement, danger, confusion, longing, jealousy and intrigue. Mael and Cian are struggling to find more than snatched moments together as an unknown threat drive the Weres into Vampire territory. But, the Weres are not the only ones that are targeted, as Vampires are being staked and rumors are spread. It is up to Mael and Cian along with Diocourides (father of all Vampires) to bring allies together to vanquish the enemy who threatens the entire paranormal world.

I must admit I was gobsmacked by the turn of events in this book and I had to flick through previous books to refresh my memory (all three series), because even though they are not of this series one of the characters has a fundamental part in this one. There is a lot going on with many different characters, but if you have read all three series, then you will know the characters that make an appearance and you will also understand why they were called upon. Now this is a well written story, with a strong storyline and plot, but there was so much going on that unless you have read all the books you might lose some threads.

I really don’t know where to begin… hmmm, Cian has chosen who he wants as his son. Mael and Cian have to sort out the influx of Weres and why they have headed their way. they have the warning of a powerful threat. hmmm they then have to go to Rome and Nigel starts his ranting again. Then, Christian (Mael’s son) becomes involved and Cian becomes jealous. Vampires start to get killed and the rumors begin. Nigel finds out the truth about Taylor (Cian’s new son) and rants even more. the new enemy decides to attack and the allies have a fight on their hands. And then we have the fall out after the battle is won. So, a lot going on and that doesn’t even begin to really cover it.

So, I recommend this to those who love an in-depth paranormal world, complex vampire politics, intrigue, betrayal, plots and jealousy, Love, frustration, battles and new love. There is a lot to experience in this book so I highly recommend this if you love vampires and angels.
