The Pirate’s Possession (New Release)
The Spy’s Surrender
* “My favorite story in this anthology,” ReviewYourBook.com
* “The first sex scene has Eva as a dominatrix, which was both a pleasant surprise and also a great way of establishing their characters. The dirty versions of Shakespeare plays are an inspired touch, too. A great read.” Cocktail Reviews
Lilly Cain
Dark Harmony

Leigh Court
The Bet
* Top Pick, “Scintillating!” Night Owl Reviews
* “Oh, mama! Period romances normally don’t attract me, but I’d make an exception to glimpse more of what this author has to offer.” 4.5 Stars, Bitten By Books
* “A well-told tale!” Whipped Cream Reviews
* “Because of great writing, “The Bet” feels like a novel instead of a short story.” Joyfully Reviewed
* Award Winner, The Beacon contest for Excellence in Romance
Lila Dubois
Kitsune
* Gold Star Award, JERReviews, “The pace is perfect, keeping the reader interested and moving to the conclusion. The secondary characters are well drawn and important to help move the plot along, but never overpower the main characters.”

Alice Gaines
Droit de Seigneur
* 5 Stars, Fallen Angels Reviews
Master of the Elements
* “Wonderfully descriptive….The passionate intimacy between Elsbeth and the Master is built upon and tended in every scene. It’s moving when an author can bridge a connection between the reader and her characters. Everything that happens unfolds slowly page by page until you become a part of their world. Timeless!” Joyfully Reviewed
* “Don’t miss this gem of a story that solidly launches the Red Sage line of ebooks and pledges to readers that there are many more wonderful stories to come.” Romance Junkies
* “Eloquent. Virgin sacrifice is a familiar plot device, but a bit of mystery and some interesting characters give it a new twist.” Romantic Times Book Reviews
The Hot-Blooded Husband
* “Humor and romance!” ReviewYourBook.com
The Wicked Wife
* “Certainly lives up to its name!” Romance Junkies
To Touch a Woman
My Lady’s Pleasure
* “Packs a punch from the very beginning. A fast paced read that leaves you wanting more Viking love. The pace was great and kept me intrigued until I finished the novella. The setting was intriguing and the characters well developed.” Fresh Fiction Reviews
Nathalie Gray
Full Steam Ahead
* “There are a whole crew’s worth of secondary characters that are just excellent, and the villains are brutish and dastardly–everything you expect a Victorian-era villain to be. The world- and character-building is very well done.” Romancing the Book
* Featured in The Independent (London)
Heartless
* “Now normally I don’t read paranormals, erotic romance or novellas as I’ve found they usually don’t work for me in any combination or alone. So imagine my surprise when this one does. Work, I mean. I just happened to read this after watching “The Mummy” which gave me some great visuals to go along with your chilling descriptions of the curse. And let me say how much I admire the way you portrayed it. It truly gives it a visceral punch beyond the usual curse.” Dear Author
* Top Pick, Night Owl Reviews, “This fast paced story, strong and dynamic characters, great world building and fantastic sex was a remarkable read.”
* “Excellent!” Romance Reader Connection
Agent Provocateur
* “Gray has built a fantastic world in a 24th-century Montreal dystopia with two disparate individuals thrown together. This novella captures the imagination with some spicy sex and nonstop action.” Romantic Times Book Reviews
* “Ooh, I think I’m in love with this story when Mercury and Troy start beating up each other the moment the person in charge is away. Ms Gray is one of those rare authors who can make such display of testosterone the sexiest kind of foreplay ever…. Very fast-paced and sexy.” 84, Mrs. Giggles
The Smiling Assassin
* “With its zooming pace and many actions scenes, this read much like a James Bond movie.” JERReviews
* “[Exercises] judicious economy so that only the details needed to bring the story to life and nothing more are present in this story…. a fun and fast-paced read.” 80, Mrs. Giggles
Compromised
* “Action-packed, emotionally charged, erotic. Compromised has everything I look for in a good short story…the sex, the characters and the story are all top-notch.” JERReviews
* “Blindingly fast-paced. But Compromised is superior to those [other similar] stories, I find, because of its much better pacing and the placement of the sex scene that doesn’t get too much in the way of the story.” 83, Mrs. Giggles
Unclaimed
* “Ms. Gray shows great sensitivity in writing the love scenes between Max and Eddy, what could be shown as an anonymous encounter becomes something much deeper between two people needing more than just physical contact. This progression of the characters is what makes Unclaimed an enjoyable story to read.” SSR
Chimera
* “Memorable characters, conflict and tangible passion.” Romantic Times Book Reviews
Sedonia Guillone
Fantasy Thief (New Release)
Enter the Hero
* “[An}action-packed story that will have you on the edge of your seat. Kass and Lian’s story is a very touching one and I enjoyed the friendship and love that exists between them in this enjoyable read.... Great characters." Jennifer's Random Musings Reviews
* "They fight so hard for their love and freedom that you become fully invested in their plight. When they finally do reach that happy ending, it as satisfying as if it were your own." Book Marks
Ann Wesley Hardin
Bonded
* 5 Stars, "Incredible! Funny and steamy." ReviewYourBook.com
* 5 Stars, "Be prepared to laugh and tingle!" JERReviews
Harriet Jones
Mask of a Gypsy
The Bride Unmasked
Titania Ladley
Renegade and His Rebel
* "This is a fast paced book with a smooth flow. I loved the western language and tone that Titania gave to the whole book. It made for a realistic read, even when a touch of paranormal snuck into the story." Dark Diva Reviews
* "From the first page, you are drawn into the story and not let go until far beyond the last page. Talk about starting with guns blazing and firing! This story is just that. I like how Ms. Ladley paints a picture of what life might have been like back then. Now you must remember there are paranormal tones to this story, so what you see isn’t always what you get. Sometimes, it’s way more." Whipped Cream Reviews
Selah March
Hard Harvest
B.J. McCall
Fire Angel
* 5 Stars, JERReviews, "Fire Angel had all the qualities of a perfect story. Drama, suspense, sex and humor were what kept me turning the pages as quickly as I did."
* "A true fairytale for women everywhere." Fresh Fiction Reviews
Natasha Moore
The Better to Eat You With
* Top Pick, Night Owl Reviews, "Artfully combined a fairytale with a common theme in romance; the one that got away. I found it cute and sexy at the same time."
* 5 Stars, Dark Diva Reviews, "Packs a punch....I enjoyed Ms. Moore's play on words as she incorporated parts of the original fairy tale into her erotic tale of Grandma and the Big Bad Wolf.... Elise and Nick’s love for one another is intense, yet endearing and only helps bring the characters to life."
Nicole North
Kilted Lover
* Top Pick, Night Owl Reviews, "This book was fabulous and not just because Nicole North manages to keep Scott in a kilt for most of the beginning of the book. I really liked this story and the idea behind it. Scott was really the perfect male hero and Leslie's actions and words sometimes had me laughing out loud as I read."
* 5 Stars from Dark Divas
* 5 Stars, The Romance Studio, "I loved this story! I can't say how much I enjoyed everything about this fantastic novella."
* "Nicole North's use of descriptive writing allowed me to easily picture in my mind what was happening and I truly wanted to be there. She did a great job putting this story on paper." Joyfully Reviewed

Beast in a Kilt
** "Memorable characters, conflict and tangible passion" Romantic Times Book Reviews
Anne Rainey
Reckless Exposure
* "Rand and Lucy are completely different characters from their upbringing, but both are confident and successful. Their differences make them such a strong couple. This is the first of this series I have read, but it will not be the last." Coffee Time Reviews
* "Three strong characters. Each will make an imprint on your heart as you struggle along with them in hopes of a happily ever after. All three characters caught and held my attention and my emotions. [Trey's] life and his purpose is a mystery that sucks you in and entices you to yearn for more of his story. The journey these three take is a great read. I really enjoyed this story, and recommend it for anyone looking for a hot menage and a deeply emotional tale.” Whipped Cream Reviews
Tori Scott
Double Exposure
* “The sexual chemistry is combustible. The couple faces conflicts that add depth to the story. Plenty of fun with a great amount humor, the story keeps the reader interested.” Fallen Angels Reviews
* “For a debut, Ms. Scott shows real promise.” JERReviews
Liane Gentry Skye
Believe
* “The writers’ style of writing was whimsical at times and heart wrenching tender at others.” Erotic Book Junkies
Wicked Temptation
* “The author blew me away with the complexity of her storyline, intertwining the fates of the humans with that of the machinations of the gods.” The Romance Reviews
* 5 Stars, Dark Diva Reviews, “I was immediately drawn in by Ms. Skye’s captivating writing voice, because it demanded my undivided attention. Then the emotional roller coaster began and I was lost to this book. Wicked Temptation may be scorching hot with passion, but it is about so much more. The emotions ranged from devastating to exhilarating and everywhere in between. Ms. Skye did not skimp on hot sex, but neither did she skimp on character and plot development. Trey is a compelling character in his own right. Pair him up with Sage and Russ, and you have one heck of a powerful trio. I was in awe of these three characters, and they are merely the main characters. The short line up of secondary characters is just as intriguing.”
* “The depths of emotion are profound, even drawing attention away from the explosive sex scenes. The characters are intriguing and complex, which is true of so few stories as erotic as this one.” Manic Readers
Heart Storm
* “The main characters are wonderfully written and the story is the perfect length for a sit-down read without leaving any unanswered questions. Most enjoyable.” RRTErotic
* Top Pick, Night Owl Reviews
Kate St. James
Kiss Me at Midnight
* “The story definitely focused more attention on the romantic aspect instead of the eroticism of the previous stories. The sex scenes in this story were absolutely sexy and hot, but you could tell that love was in the air and not just lust.” Whipped Cream Reviews
* “Characters are well developed, and the couples will take readers along on their path to a lasting relationship.” Romantic Times Book Reviews
Exes and Ahhs
* 5 1/2 Stars, Cocktail Reviews, “This was brilliant! I loved the opening scene of this novella – it’s hilarious, saucy, and a great introduction to Risa and Eric. The love scenes are blisteringly hot and very, very sexy. Ms St James spins some fantastic characterisation, not just with Risa and Eric but also with best friend Kyla and cute chef Dante, plus aging porn star Lainey. This is easily one of my favourite erotic romances of recent months. 5 and a half flutes.”
* “Well-written.” ReviewYourBook.com
Cricket Starr
Partners
* “PARTNERS is an interesting and fun read. A very descriptive world has been set up here.” The Romance Readers Connection
Jane Thompson
And Charlie Makes Three
* 5 Star Recommended Read, Dark Divas Reviews, “Wow. I am still in head spinning awe after reading this book. And Charlie Makes Three by Jane Thompson is a deliciously naughty thrill ride. Jane Thompson has her own unique writing style and certainly begs to be noticed with each and every punctuation mark. The plot of this story is relatively straight forward and easy to grasp. The characters are in depth.”
Mia Varano
Triple Threat
* “A sweeping story that captivates the reader from page one.” Whipped Cream Reviews
* “This is a quick erotic romp through the desert with a lot of danger around every curve. I found the sexual scenes extremely well done.” Night Owl Reviews
Saskia Walker
Sweet-Talking the Opposition
* “Memorable characters, conflict and tangible passion.” Romantic Times Book Reviews
Brenda Williamson
Sahara Heat
Samantha Winston
The Wife School
* “A pleasant read, well-written, and easy and quick to read.” Whipped Cream Reviews
* “Light humor and colorful characters.” Night Owl Reviews
* “This hilarious retelling of the Moilère play is filled with misunderstandings, white lies, and steamy sex. I’m sure the playwright would have loved it as will the reader. Keep in mind this is not a romance novel or you will be disappointed. With that in mind you will have no choice but to enjoy this fun read.” The Romance Reviews
