Customer Reviews

Fun!

This anthology is about alpha males. It's hot and sexy, to say the least. I don't think there was one story I didn't thorougly enjoy. What I liked most was the fact that it was quick and easy to read and didn't bog the reader down with minute details that aren't relevant at all. A good, fun read that most fans of the genre would love. Also liked Playtime.

sexy as hell

buy it. You'll see. It's worth every penny. very hot, very intense and a lot of fun.

Hot and Steamy

I must say out of all three of the books Kresley Cole's was the best. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to just escape into a book of intrigue, romance, and sexy men.

Dynamite Trio of 'Smoking' Hot Stories

This is a wonderful collection of highly sensual laden and sweetly sinful stories from three extremely accomplished authors. TURN UP THE HEAT by Sherrilyn Kenyon - Kenyon gives steamy and exciting story with a Cinderella heorine meets a `bad boy' on a fantasy island. Allison is the winner of a `live the novel' romance contest that lands her on a dream island, complete with major `stud muffins' and one darkly dangerous hunk who is hiding out from the mob. Attraction between the two sizzles and between bedroom gymnastics and dodging bullets these two create spontaneous combustion! HOT! HUNTERS OATH by Jaid Black - Inconsolable over the loss of her brother Sofia didn't pay much attention to the roads the cab driver took while plowing thru the snow to catch a plane back to Tampa. Too late she discovered that she'd been kidnapped and brought to a secret underground `otherworld' where she is auctioned off on the marriage block. Having been given a powerful aphrodisiac by the guardian of the `outsider brides', Sofia couldn't help the `itch' that her new husband, the seven foot warrior Johen is only too willing to take care of. Once the drug wore off, Johen himself becomes the aphrodisiac that convinces Sofia to stay. Romantic and sizzling! THE WARLORD WANTS FOREVER by Kresley Cole - `Myst the Coveted' is an immortal Valkyrie who considers vampires and other such ghouls her mortal enemy. Nikolai Wroth, a warlord general is a vampire who recognizes Myst as someone special. At first he didn't know just what exactly she was until just before he'd lost her. It then took him another five years to capture this very special Valkyrie. Their battles would be ferocious and their lovemaking exquisite as Wroth fought to convince Myst that she was fated to be his `forever bride'. HOT & SPICY! I've read Kenyon before and she definitely knows how to heat things up with her BAD boy series; Jaid Black was brand new for me and my,oh my, I do plan plan to look her up in the future. I've read great historical fiction from Ms Cole before and with this debut effort into the paranormal genre she has proven herself equal to the task. The reader won't be disappointed in availing themselves of this exceptional trio of short but extremely titillating stories. These are `smoking'!

A Wonderful Collection of Stories!

The Anthology "Playing Easy to Get" is one of the better anthologies out there. All three contributing authors have gifted the reader with some alpha yummy hero's and paired with feisty heroines. The end result...one hot entertaining read! Sherrilyn Kenyon's "Turn up the Heat" is one fun read. Allison spends her days cleaning up aisle "whatever" in her local Wal-Mart. When her friend suggests that she should enter a contest where the winner can live out her favorite romance novel she at first scoffs...ya like she's ever going to win anything. But, she does and the second she sets eyes on Vince...she knows her life will never be the same. Vince is on the run from "the family" they want him dead, and he's rather attached to the concept of living to see another day. So when his best friend from childhood saves his bacon and finds him a safe place to hide out he's all for it...that is until he sees Allison getting off the plane. Now staying one step ahead of the bad guys is not his only priority. Now he has to keep a lid on his lust. Will he be able to do this or will this bad boy finally give in? Jaid Black's "Hunter's Oath" is the story of Sofia. She's just been bride napped by one scary looking cabbie. She's alone in life now since her brother was recently killed in active duty. She's wondering what life has to hold for her now. Well she should have been careful what she questioned. Because now she is going to live underground in a lost Viking world as the bought bride of Johen Stefsson for the rest of her life. But, will this be as bad as she thinks it will or has she just found her hearts desire? Kresley Cole's debut paranormal read "The Warlord Wants Forever" Myst is a Valkyrie with a problem...she's the forever bride of a vampire. Now lets just forget the fact Valkyrie's and Vampires don't mix...ever...she happens to be attracted to him. Wroth is everything she's been taught to hate. Will she be able to put a lifetime's teaching behind her and accept her fate as this handsome vampires bride or will she let pride and family get in the way? All three of these short stories are yummy! Now readers should keep in mind...these are not full-length efforts but the author have made the most out of the word count allotted them. Ms. Cole's debut paranormal effort is very good and I look forward to reading her next book. It goes without say that Ms. Black and Ms. Kenyon know their stuff. Ms. Kenyon offers readers another BAD book and Ms. Black's Viking story...hot, hot, and hot. For a quick but very entertaining read...look no further. You won't find so much talent in one book very often.
