Open a bottle of wine and snuggle up with this spicy hot erotic anthology from Jess Michaels, Leda Swann, and Julia Templeton. There’s something for everyone here, with scenes range from “oh yeah” to “hoo boy” in intensity and detail. This one is a sure-fire smoker and a highly tantalizing trio of tales! Four Angels!

Jess Michaels’ Fallen Angel is the story of a jaded former Bow Street Runner and a terrorized madam. Valentine is leery of trusting any woman, let alone getting involved with one after the debacle with his last honey. Arabella is a woman with a past, and she’s just trying to make her way in the world when she begins receiving threatening letters. She hires Valentine to protect her; they agree that it is best that he pose as her latest lover. Neither of them is prepared for what they feel and even more shocking is the identity of her tormenter...

Ms. Michaels pens a hot little historical number detailing the lust and danger that shadow this couple. Great ambiance, as well as a flair for the dramatic and likeable characters make this novella a winner!

Parlor Games by Leda Swann
Down-on-her-luck Sarah Chatham is nearly out of money and out of options. Her gentle rearing as a curate’s sheltered daughter didn’t prepare her for life on the mean streets of the city. After eating a meal in a local “coffeehouse”, she discovers that there is much more to this establishment than meets the eye. While peeking into the owner’s stash of erotica, Sarah is caught red-handed. Little does she realize that the man who catches her is just as captured by her as she is by him...

Parlor Games is a tale that will open your eyes to the behavior that goes on behind closed doors. This is a story about innocence, awakening and passion, and readers will be completely charmed and titillated by this sexy piece. Ms. Swann aptly and sensually weaves a love spell in Parlor Games.

In Julia Templeton’s Border Lord, Terri has fled to Scotland to escape the pain and humiliation of her fiancé’s betrayal. She never plans on being tossed back in time to the year 1294, and she certainly is surprised to find what (or, more precisely who) awaits her there.

Ms. Templeton combines legend and lust seamlessly in Border Lord. This story sets forth a great conflict, wonderfully at-odds characters and some good old-fashioned loving. You’ll long for a loch of your own after reading “Annabelle” and Brochan’s steamy love scene on the peaceful shore and their frolicking in the solar. Can these two have a happily ever after? Read and see for yourself!
