Merlin’s Eye by Ellen Ashe
Roger Brinckworthe, a purveyor of antique manuscripts, is welcomed to England by his host, the heiress Victoria Elwell, a client of his who just happens to be in possession of a large collection of just the kind of documents he likes. What he gets, though, is much more than he ever anticipated...a passionate and focused woman, along with the challenge of a lifetime.

Druid magic, betrayal and lust blend together to create an eerily satisfying story that will have you jumping at noises in the night. Ellen Ashe spins a tale of fear and greed, and she tells it with a spine-tingling flair.

Sixth Day of the Moon by Celia Ashley
While participating in an archaeological dig on the rain-washed cliffs of Ireland, Moira is transported through time when she uncovers a long-hidden artifact and is subsequently struck by lightning. She is “taken” to another place, another era, and meets the most delicious man...and encounters the most deadly danger.

Celia Ashley’s Sixth Day of the Moon completely blew me away! The parallel storylines and the rich, detailed characters were simply fascinating, while the vivid descriptions of the scenery and shivery danger were spot-on. Amazing!

Lord of the Night by Annalee Blysse
Camille Baron decided to go on her honeymoon – alone. She’s come to Tulum to heal, but finds herself mesmerized by an interesting stranger. Shad is unlike anyone she’s ever met...and in more ways than one.

Two passionate individuals come together and try to come to grips with their mutual attraction, all the while dealing with rumors of shape-shifting aliens and powers far beyond this world. Great pacing, a wonderful premise, and characters that leap right off the page make this one a very exciting read. Lord of the Night is an exotic blend of scepters, surfing lessons and sexy cats!

Curse of the Cat’s Paw by Tracy L. Ranson
Jamie’s had a rough life; her marriage to a mercurial man didn’t work out, and things have been difficult. She’s flying to Scotland to lay claim to her heritage, but finds more than she ever could have imagined...including a grieving widower, a ghostly cat and a perilous evil waiting to escape.

Tracy L. Ranson will have you locking doors and checking window latches in the spooky paranormal erotica called Curse of the Cat’s Paw. Characters are likeable and emote believably, even as the ghostly elements of this tale take on a life of their own. Showcasing a mood reminiscent of a dark Gothic story, Curse of the Cat’s Paw is danger and intrigue at their best!

Relic is a set of four short stories, with each individual tale having its own flavor and powerful relic. I really enjoyed this group of tales, and felt that they were very well-matched. Suspenseful, but with just enough eroticism to keep your body humming, Relic earns 5 Angels!
