GREAT BOOK

THIS BOOK WAS WONDERFUL. WRITTEN BY SO MANY GREAT AUTHORS. THE ONLY THIS WAS THE LAST TWO STORIES WERE ALITTLE SLOW FOR ME. BUT OVERALL THE BOOK WAS WONDERFUL. I AM A BIG FAN OF MRS. BURTON AND WELL SHE NEVER DISAPPOINTS NEITHER DOES MRS. HAYNES. I LIKED THE BOOK BY JOEY HILL BUT I HATE THAT IT ENDED WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT CAME OF CASS AND LUCAS. TO ME IT NEEDED ALITTLE MORE FOR THE ENDING. THE STORY BEHIND MRS. HAYNES WAS GREAT LOVED TO BE THAT WOMEN. BUT GET THE BOOK YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

great combination

Anthologies are usually hard for me but depending on the authors I am unable to resist. Jasmine Haynes and Joey Hill were my motivation for this one and man oh man was it worth it. I loved every one of these except maybe the first one. Mz Burton's started out fine but once you know the couple is going to be together and just a matter of someone acting stupid it just didn't hold me and I was done by Chapter 5. The 2nd story was Jasmine's and it was the greatest little story. I loved the premise of older woman and younger man and the heroine finding her own through a few naughty pictures. JH really captured Margo's struggle with her insecurities and attraction with the hot stud Dirk without her being TSTL and whinny. Dirk was so awesome and steadfast. Its a great sexy feel good story that makes you feel like buying some lingerie when you are done. Joey Hill's story was my favorite. The way she used the corset to represent so much just worked. Lucas and Cassandra were just the strongest and sexiest couple. They were a perfect match for each other in every way. Cassandra was a no nonsense heroine holding on to her control by a thread and Lucas simply and considerately took over. There is an edge of menage that pushed this story into amazing and now I want to know about the other characters. I can only gush over this story. This didnt feel like a short story. There was nothing left out and almost seemed to drag at the end alittle bit which for a short story is a rarity. Worth the price of the book for this story alone. The last story was a 1st from this author for me and it was good too. Different from all the other ones as a historical and abit paranormal. Great tension and sexual energy. A nice way to end it.

The Ties that Bind by Jaci Burton Lisa Mitchell is a critical care nurse whose daughter has just graduated from high school and is planning out her life. This means that Lisa is now in a place where her life can change from being mainly a Mom to being mainly Lisa now. However this also means that her main connection to her ex-husband, Rick Mitchell, is also coming to an end. Lisa is not sure that even now she is ready to lose her connection to him. When Lisa's best friend and her daughter talk her into taking a Caribbean vacation as the first step in her new life, Lisa agrees. Rick agrees to his daughter's crazy suggestion in hopes that he and Lisa can just maybe start again. Lisa and Rick take it day by day, finding out if their love has not only stayed around but just possibly grown with them. The Ties that Bind was both hot and sweet. Lisa and Rick married very young with Lisa got pregnant. Even when the marriage ended, both of them were determined to give their daughter everything they could and remained close friends. Now its time to see if anything still exists between them. I loved both Lisa and Rick from the beginning. Young couples having to get married is common and so is the marriages breaking up, but it is rare that they not only remain friends but work hard together to support they child. I also loved that in The Ties that Bind Ms. Burton showed that your life does not end when your children are born and grow up. The Ties that Bind is a fantastic beginning to an anthology that I have a feeling is going to be smoking. Undone by Jasime Haynes Margo Faraday is a mortgage broker, who after a bad breakup is looking for a way to explore herself and her sensual self. When seeing a flyer at her friend's house, Margo thinks she just might have found a way. Dick Araman is an amateur photographer who is looking for some models to help him prepare for an erotic photo contest he wants to enter. After the both agree to terms, Margo goes to Dick's for an erotic night neither expected. Now the photo shoot is done and they had agreed to only one night, but what happens when neither seems to want their night to end? Can a businesswoman and a younger man with a secret of his own find a way to overcome society and take what they want? Undone took me by surprised in a great way. After reading the first few pages, I would have never expected just how erotic and loving Margo and Dick's story could be. Their photo shoot was much more than just erotic; it was warm, tender and loving even between two people who had just met. I could understand Margo's thoughts but I was so happy when she decided to heck with what others might think. All I could do was giggle when I found out exactly what Dick did while working on his photography. I found that Margo and Dick were a great couple and was very, very happy they found their happy ever after. Undone shows that younger men can be just what the doctor ordered and continues that very warm an

Stories by Jasmine Haynes and Joey W. Hill make this a keeper

In this book, you'll find a corset mentioned in each story. These stories are relatively short (page length varies anywhere from 80+ to over 150 pages), which many times means the stories lack depth. Not true here with the stories by Jasmine Haynes and Joey W. Hill - they placed this book in the keeper shelf. The Ties That Bind by Jaci Burton - 4 stars Lisa and Rick have been divorced for 15 years. They got married very young (16 and 19) when Lisa became pregnant. The marriage lasted all of 3 years, but they've remained close while raising their daughter. Each has had relationships with other people since they've gotten divorced, but nothing serious. Their daughter is now 18 and going off to college. Rick would like to explore their relationship but Lisa isn't sure - what if sex ruins their great friendship? Using a week alone together on a tropical island they decide to explore their feelings for each other. Sensuality wise, this seemed the tamest of all the stories in this anthology and seemed pretty mild compared to other Jaci Burton books I've read. I'd rate it as hot as a Harlequin Blaze novel. It's an enjoyable read, but not memorable. Undone by Jasmine Haynes - 5 stars Margo has been feeling down. She's 45 and her boyfriend of 8 years dumped her a year ago because she always played it safe. She sees an advertisement for a photographer who wants to take erotic photos. Thinking that this is something that isn't safe, she decides to go for it. Dirk, the photographer, is a sweet sexy guy who makes it easy for Margo to have her picture taken in some very erotic situations. Dirk is attracted to Margo, but she's very aware of the age difference and wants to limit their relationship to just photography. Thank you Jasmine Haynes for having an older woman as the lead character (an erotic story with a female character older than 40 - yeah!) and a realistic older woman/younger man situation (as opposed to some romance novels where the woman is in her mid-thirties, the guy is in his late 20's). This was one of my favorites and while it's the shortest stories (at ~85 pages), I felt like I knew the characters. I wouldn't have minded reading more about them. Controlled Response by Joey W. Hill - 5 stars Taking a break while biking, Lucas takes a short hike into the woods and runs into a woman sitting on a Harley "enjoying" herself. It's a relatively brief meeting - they don't even exchange names - but afterwards each can't forget their meeting. A month later, that woman, negotiator Cassandra Moira, goes to Kensington & Associates to help settle a deal - and there she meet Lucas again. Seeing Lucas again makes her lose her cool and that's something she never wants to do. If you read "Board Resolution" by Joey W. Hill (which told Matt and Savannah 's story and can be found in the book Behind the Mask), you'll recognize the characters and the company. The story in "Controlled Response" is similar - the "management" of the company
