Pleasure Master by Angelique Anjou
Anya Rambo is the medical officer aboard a space station where an alien
artifact impacts. Studying the artifact, she becomes aware that she and the
other women aboard the station are having dreams about the same man-and
discovers the alien artifact is in fact a capsule encasing the man she
believes they have been dreaming of, and who she fears is now attempting to
instigate a takeover of the station through those whose dreams he invades.
Like Alien-the original movie, not the sequels-but not gory, and with very
hot sex. One of the best sci-fi tales I’ve read in a while, but with a
disappointingly quick ending which made this reader wish the author would
expand the story and continue the journey through this very intriguing
universe. Recommended.
Debt of Honor by Elizabeth Batten-Carew
Angelica can’t believe what’s happened when she gets mugged switching planes
to return home: a man who claims she has either helped the woman who mugged
her, or helped kidnap her says she has offended his family’s honor, and now
he demands her body as recompense.
Harem scenes with highly explicit female/female and male/female/female
interaction. Bondage and fantasized forcible sexual encounters. May not be
for all readers.
Contact by Jaycee Clark
Meredith Fox and ex-cop turned P.I. Daxton Adams are a thing of the past
until he finds out the serial killer he’s hunting is on her trail as his
next victim.
Well-written thriller with sexual tension and sub-plot dealing with the loss
of family due to cancer. I’m not a big fan of most thrillers, but thought
this was well done, particularly given the limitations of a short story.
Recommended.
Prince of Desire by Donna Grant
Prince Lucian Sinclair must take Isabella home, or his kingdom will die.
Cursed by the Fae, the Princes of his people must all go to the outside
world to find their mate and bring her back voluntarily. Should even one
fail, the kingdom will be destroyed.
The author uses an interesting device for the drawing together of the two
principles here, and though the story takes some time to get rolling, it
picks up steam toward the end for a decent finish.
Mating Behavior by Mandy M. Roth
Alan is in love with Katie-but werewolves are forbidden to mate with humans.
Not only will they kill him, they’ll kill her if they should mate. But Alan
knows Katie is his true mate, and can’t bring himself to fully leave her,
staying on as her best friend and neighbor. Now Katie’s talked him into
taking her into the mountains to observe the mating behavior of grey
wolves-only after it’s too late does Alan realize the mountains are
inhabited by weres-and that he has placed Katie in great danger just by
being with her.
Mandy Roth-need I say more? Ms. Roth delivers her usual stylish punch to a
story that’s worth the price of the book by itself. Highly recommended
