HOW TO CHOOSE A COWBOY by New York Times Bestselling Author Daire St. Denis
When Tessa Savage is forced to choose between two hunky cowboys while vacationing at the Lazy L Dude Ranch, she finds herself at a loss; the Marlboro Man look-a-like or the fun-loving exhibitionist. Help Tessa decide in this smokin' hot interactive tale.
REVIEW: Tessa Savage is one sexy woman! She's not one for a monogamous relationship. Her friend called her "pansexual" which apparently meant she cared not whether the partner was man or woman. Well that made for fun times, didn't it?

Choosing between two cowboys must have been crazy difficult. I absolutely enjoyed the interactive aspect of the story. It allowed for an alternate twist to the story, but both stories were just as steamy. Wade was brooding and very serious, while Connor was carefree and flirtatious. The contrast in both men made for even hotter encounters! The twist of the story was even better ;) Definitely a must-read...and then read all the other Tessa Savage stories :)

     Wade and I don't speak as we follow a few stragglers in the direction of the lodge and then turn down a path toward my cabin. When we got to my door, I pause before fitting my key in the lock. "Would you like to come in? There's still wine..." My words trail off because I'm thinking about what Connor said about Wade not getting close to guests.
      Wade watches me with this stony expression and I have no idea what he's thinking, whether he's going to say yes or no.
     "Or not," I say. "I know you have an early morning tomorrow."
     "No. I'd like to come in. But..." It's his turn to not finish his sentence. He glances over his shoulder. Like he's looking for someone.
     "But what?"
     "I don't want to seem presumptuous."
     "Presumptuous?"
     He leans against the doorframe, watching me with that brooding stare. "I'm attracted to you Tessa. I'm not going to lie."
     "Okay."
     "If I come inside..." his words trail off again as his eyes focus on my lips. They move lower to the front of my dress.
     "I'd like you to come in," I whisper.
     "Are you sure?"
     I nod. Enthusiastically.

THE VAMPIRE DESIGN by New York Times Bestselling Author Vivi Anna
A naive young artist travels through Europe searching for the most infamous painter ever to live... who also happens to be a 300 year old vampire.
REVIEW: This story was interesting and mysterious. Obviously we know there is a vampire in the story. I love that he was a painter. I love it when vampires are able to capitalize on their talents the older they become. The experience of the young artist was like going back in time. I enjoyed reading about the "castle" that the vampire painter lived in and how it resembled the 1800s. I love medieval architecture! The author did a good job painting a picture in my head ;) (pun intended). It was a brief story but it was a story that promised more, and I wished it had a sequel...

ANYTHING HE WANTS: ATONEMENT by New York Times Bestselling Author Sara Fawkes
Jeremiah and Lucy have been through the fire and barely escaped with their lives, but can their love survive the real world?
REVIEW: I didn't know what to expect from this story, but the introduction to the story sure was STEAMY! I absolutely enjoyed the beginning :) However, beyond the sex, this story had depth. I was able to get to know both characters through Lucy's perspective. The surprise towards the end of the story was also such a heartwarming twist. I loved the passion that the characters had for each other, and that they genuinely cared. I especially enjoyed when Jeremiah defended Lucy in front of his mother. That was sexy ;)

"If I ever hear you bad-mouth Lucy in my presence again, I will make it clear to the world that any friends of yours are not friends of mine. I will cut you off, mother, as surely as Rufus ever did."

"This lunch was meant to be just for Lucy and I. I do not remember inviting you. I'll make certain to tell the host as much when I make reservations from now on."

Overall, this boxed-set anthology was a work of art! It will get you hot and bothered for sure!
