Carly Osborn finds herself a little green man who thinks she is a professor of sex and he is there to learn! This little green man, whose name is It, the Twenty Third, has come to Earth for Sexation. Sexation is a vacation for sex according to It. Since her husband, Randall and she hadn’t been doing so well in the sex department lately, this was an interesting prospect.

You need a spew warning for this book. It, Carly and Randall have awesome ménage sex that is everything from sex in the water to light BDSM. The language barriers make for interesting conversation between It and the Osborns. “Take me to your vibrator,” is classic. I about choked on my drink while reading it. The story itself was great as well. Sexation shows the conflicts of a normal marriage and how the alien helped Carly and Randall remember the more passionate side to life. Great Job!!!

A Christmas Pageant by Sahara Kelly - 4 Nymphs
A music teacher, moonlighting as a cocktail waitress in a strip club, and a Drill Sergeant get snowed in and have the night of their lives. While I enjoyed this story, it seemed a little out of place in this anthology as I could not find the “changeling”.

Jingle Balls by Judy Mays - 5 Nymphs
In this fun story, Santa and his wife set up a friend’s son with Ms. Claus’ sister. Kudos to the author for the way she went about getting the two together. The chemistry between Richard and Jessica was hot.

Changeling by Shelby Morgen - 4.5 Nymphs
Arien decides she has to mate with a human, but she can only have a relationship with him on St. Patrick’s Day, unless he guesses her real name. But he has to kiss her first. The way Ms. Morgen wove her story together was interesting, especially with the size difference between Arien and Mich.

Elven Enchantment by Willa Okati - 5 Nymphs
This was an interesting male/male and ménage story between two elves trying to find their third. Ciara, Ardal, and Seanan meet in a bar on St. Patrick’s Day. Be aware the chemistry between these three is so hot, you will need ice cubes on hand.

For the most part, these ten stories were fun to read. The authors did wonderful things with some of the imagery in their stories. There were a few that I wish had continued, as I would have liked to find out more about their relationships and more about some resolutions at the end of them. From horses turning to elves, trolls, and fairies, A Changeling For All Seasons has something for everyone. Some of the situations were so true to life that you jumped right into the story. I could not stop laughing when I read the last story.

Dominick Falchetti walks out of his publisher’s office with no regrets. Dom refused to pander to prejudiced people by writing genres that do not appeal him. Given the name of Bedtime Stories Press, Dom contacts them and his man-love stories were accepted. There he meets Jean-Paul Noir, his new editor and perfect lover.

Ugly Duckling is a heartwarming short story. Dominick is an author, who shifts into something else when he has been sexually awaken. Jean-Paul is an incubus and the only one who has accepted Dom’s other form without fear. Although the story is short, the plot has depth. The storyline reveals the origins of the creatures they have become, in addition to a feasible action that optimistically can be employed. Also illustrated are the human emotions of being different from the rest of society. Acceptance of the person you are as an alternative to someone’s perception of you is the key feature in this well-written book. The characters are intelligent and believable, as well as sensual. The amazing Lena Austin never fails to deliver an engaging saga with some of today’s social allegations incorporated. Ugly Duckling is an impressive saga that I enjoyed.

Cheryl Witte is a lonely bored writer for a newspaper who is on a very hot breaking story that only she must write as she needs to be noticed. After meeting the two men she summoned from a book she was given, Cheryl changes her mind about becoming a bride to mate with them and wants to go home.

Cy is a very hot hunk who wants nothing more than to claim his bride and get on with life whereas Maksim has other ideas about the whole situation. With Cheryl getting weak because they have not bonded, the time comes for Cy to press the issue between them so he can understand what the problem is so Maksim to complete the ritual needed for them to be together.

Maksim is in charge of his own company and doing somewhat ok, with only a problem or two and taking a bride only complicates his life with feelings he does not want. When forced to lead in Cheryl’s training of submission, Maksim starts really thinking about what is important to not only him but Cheryl & Cy. In the end, he realizes what it will cost everyone involved by his decision not to open up to his feelings for the two.

Reading Passion Unbound: Wicked Nights, about the Twelfth Knight Brotherhood, was not what I expected and I enjoyed every moment of reading the story. Cy, Cheryl & Maksim are very different from each other but emotions take over for each in its own way and they are having a hard time accepting their feeling for each other that is normal for bride bonding.

Cheryl does the very thing that will have her caught up in another world that she does not want and will resist because of her stubbornness. In the end, there is a complete surprise for the three of them that was not communicated with everyone not wanting to talk and very much enjoyed by me.

Vaaden Warriors is the second book in the Galactic Affairs series and centers around three warriors we met in the first book.  Rheul’s brother purchases a slave for him, Randar ends up with two slaves, one as a favor to a friend, and Thale has to overcome his past to finally get his dream.

Rheul - 4 Nymphs

Rheul isn’t happy with his brother, but ends finding Darcy fascinating.  After all is said and done, he ends up endangering his life, as he wants to give Darcy time to get used to her life as his slave. 

Randar - 4 Nymphs

Randar purchases a slave, Lyssa, as a favor to Rheul, but ends up buying a second one to better meet his needs.  Sophie is the type he always envisioned, but didn’t realize he wanted until he had purchased Lyssa.  Circumstances change his outlook, but he must find a new owner for Lyssa, or he can’t be happy.

Thale - 4 Nymphs

Thale has not had the best of luck with his slaves in the past, but ends up purchasing one from the harems.  Moira slowly makes her way into his heart, but he has to convince the prime minister and council he has changed his tune.  

I loved the ending in the last story, as it was difficult to think there would not be some changes.  I would have liked to find out more about what the other stipulations were that would be going into the law, but only two were listed.  I’m hoping in future stories more information will be given about it.  The differences among the men make for interesting reading.

Wild Bill and Michael are doing the party thing in a bit of a slum when they stumble on a few characters that don’t quite belong, despite the punkish, gothic feel of the crowd. After a racy photo shoot, they’re headed out when they spot another vamp, following one of the humans. They catch up, Michael’s intention to lecture and instruct the vamp and her future snack about safety, when the snack in question leads them to a houseboat. Bill’s senses go into overdrive, but before he can do anything, it all turns into a disaster. The trick is surviving it.

Sweet Oblivion 3: Fluid is the perfect title to this latest installment in Wild Bill and Michael’s story. Told from Bill’s POV (which I absolutely love), it’s sexy, visceral, and utterly dangerous, from beginning to end.

As always, the love scenes are scorching (especially during the photo shoot), and the pivotal scene toward the end had me genuinely worried about them and how they’d ever get out of the trouble.

This is another incredible addition to the series – one I highly recommend.

Detective Tahlia Roberts meets Killian in a bar one night and is immediately drawn to him. Each time she is with Killian, Tahlia feels safe and comfortable. Unfortunately, meeting him while undercover has caused some problems in paradise. There’s a murderer on the loose, and until he has been caught, Tahlia has to keep some secrets from the man she is falling head over heels in love with.

Killian Lionheart knows he’s next in line to get married and he tries everything he can to avoid it. If giving up sex is the only way to keep Killian from ending up mated, like his brothers, then so be it. Then one night Killian meets the sexiest woman he’s ever seen and realizes it will be impossible to walk away from her. Even the fact that he feels she is lying to him doesn’t dampen his desire for Tahlia.

Tahlia and Killian can’t seem to keep their minds or their hands off each other. This couple heats up the pages instantly and they fit together like a hand and a glove. There were moments where Killian was completely tuned into Tahlia’s needs and feelings and those moments touched me the most. When Tahlia shows up on Killian’s doorstep, I was almost speechless but in a good way. I loved the way she went to him for comfort and the fact that he was there for her. As much as I enjoyed the couple’s love story, I am still on the fence about how easily Tahlia accepted the fact that Killian was a lion shifter. I was expecting Tahlia to be more shocked than she actually was. Also, I still have many unanswered questions about the killer that Tuesday Morrigan didn’t tackle. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a follow up story. If you love the Lionheart family like I do and are dying to see another suave shifter meet his perfect match, then The Firm 2: Vixen has to go on your list of must reads.

Were-cat and co-owner of the Cat House bar Cole Lee noticed a cat tail round the corner, headed for the men’s room. When he stepped into the area, he found a dead body on the floor. The club was closed down and cops were all over the place. The only good thing that evening is Cole meeting Detective Alan Shaw. Alan can’t resist Cole; good thing Alan is a cat person.

Catnip Crazy is the second installment in the Cat House series. The talented Julia Talbot delivers a hilarious tale of chase the cat. Alan is a tough cop who did not believe in shifters. Cole knows the chemistry between them cannot be denied and takes the chance that he can convince Alan they belong together. Murder, mayhem, intrigue and mystery topped with sizzling hot sex can all be found in this tantalizing story. I enjoyed this excellent saga immensely.

Lexi’s family was trying to force her into a marriage she was totally against. Going on the run only got her into more trouble than she bargained for. When Lexi is attacked one rainy night, a mystery man saves her and changes her life forever.

Kameron is a different kind of wolf, who is dealing with his own family drama. Normally he wouldn’t get involved with humans, but something about Lexi was stirring Kameron in ways he couldn’t ignore.

Lexi and Kameron have a night of unbridled passion before they are separated. Several issues keep the couple from getting together for very long. Family secrets, and being without his woman, have Kameron on the verge of being a prisoner in his own mind, until his mate reaches out to him.

Tartan Mind is proof that Selena Illyria is an author with the power to enslave readers. At times Kameron was so focused on his sexual need for Lexi that I was not sure I could like him. After gaining entry to his heart and mind and remembering that wolves are more intense, I couldn’t help but feel for him. Not only do Lexi and Kameron set the pages on fire, but there are several other characters introduced that I am praying get their own story. I can’t wait for what comes next in this series.

Wizard Tyler Montgomery and his soul familiar Alex Layton are on the field facing their opponents for magical combat. This is the last test they must undergo and if they win, their shared bond will become permanent. The Council of Elders is there to witness the event and proclaim the winners. However, not all is as it should be! After having celebrated their victory, Alex awakens the next morning alone; Tyler had been taken away from him.

Soul Familiar 3: Fated is the final installment of this series. In this episode, Alex and Tyler have worked hard to fine-tune their magic and Tyler is more than capable of meeting the challenge. The connection that they share is also magnified in their lovemaking, allowing them to achieve the ultimate level of bonding. The very talented Kate Steele delivers another heartwarming story that radiates with the importance of love and trust in each other. I enjoyed this series immensely.

Elara Sotherlin has become accustomed to being the heir to her mother, The Dragon Queen, and she’s even found her life-mate in Zendar. But all is not right with her world because several of the clans refuse to accept her husband as co-heir to the throne, due to his views and previous banishment. Zendar doesn’t feel he has any choice but to leave the woman he loves to prevent war and the destruction of the Dragon kingdom. When he leaves, he takes along a physically and emotionally broken Darrek, who refuses to accept Rand’s love and devotion or that a male is his life-mate. Determined to save the people they love, Elara and Rand blatantly disobey the queen and set out to find them. Will they return or remain in another dimension forever?

This is the third in Ms. Dafoes’ ongoing Dragon’s Heir series and I freely acknowledge that I’m hooked on these fascinating dragon shapeshifter characters and their stories. Ms. Dafoe is a gifted storyteller and writer and each tale in this series just gets better as we find more out about the characters we have come to love. This book in particular is highly emotional as it deals with the lives of Elara, Zendar, Rand and Darrek and what each will do to protect the others. The vivid descriptions of Darrek’s disfigurement and how it affects him is heart-wrenchingly painful, as is Rand’s devotion. These characters almost leap from the pages they are so realistically portrayed…and in my opinion that in itself shows the ability of the author. Look for the next book in this series with Dravidian.

Cast down into purgatory, a demon is seeking revenge on the twin witches Nick and Nate Collins. Two years after he was banished, the demon is finally ready to strike the twins down, turning their dreams into nightmares. 

Personal Strangers is the third book in the Witches and Wolves series. Werewolf Bruce and witch Nate are married. Nick and his werewolf Redd are planning their wedding. Nate blamed himself for the many years of rift between him and his twin Nick, as well as their parents, all because of Nate’s paranoia and jealousy.  Finally the family’s broken relationship is mending. True to their nature, Bruce and Redd always did everything they could to protect, as well as make their mates Nate and Nick happy. However, because of Nate and Nick’s magic, both Bruce and Redd have been endangered by demons. 

Saloni Quinby’s Personal Strangers showcases a psychological plot posing the question of “what would the world be like if I did not exist?” This is the dilemma Nate and Nick are faced with. There are many intriguing aspects featured in this short story but I will leave those for the readers to discover. Personal Strangers is a marvelous as well as an exceedingly enjoyable saga.

Enslaved - 4 Nymphs

Darkrock and Strongsea have been forced into a marriage to merge their two sectors, as they are constantly at war.  As a gift, Radiance is given to them as a slave after she crashes on their planet.  She later ends up married to the two men.

Commanded - 4 Nymphs

Finesse has been hired by Radiance’s family to make sure Radiance is okay.  What happens instead is that she ends up in Blackstare’s and Rocksurf’s custody as their sector is at war.  Once she fulfills her mission to Radiance family, Finesse ends up staying and marrying the two men.

Devoured -  4 Nymphs

In an unusual move, Passion is allowed to become an ambassador to Shandra, even though she must be in the company of male co-workers to actually travel to the planet.  Timber and Red rescue her after she is kidnapped by thieves and ends up paying what is known as the Sacred Debt.

I really enjoyed the Naughty Nights (Box Set) by Kate Hill.  Ms. Hill happens to be one of my must read authors, though this is the first time I have read these particular stories.  She has created an interesting world on Shandra with ideas and customs regarding women that will drive independent women crazy.  Because of the lack of women on Shandra, one woman marries two men.  Some of these male couples could also be lovers, or in the case of Passion, she marries two brothers.

The contrast between the three stories regarding the circumstances of the marriages is interesting. One common theme is that all the men think Earth women are wild.  The women end up making some strides within the sectors, regarding the rights of women. 

Each story has a conflict that must be overcome, which allows all to give voice to their feelings.  The chemistry between each triad is intense.  Each of these stories were previously published as separate novellas.

John Macallister is a top Agent and has been sent undercover by the Agency to infiltrate a drug ring. He has moved up in rank and is now a crime boss. The agent no longer sees things in black and white, and will do what is necessary to stay alive. Over the past few months, John has come to rely on a yellow anaconda he affectionately names Nalini. What John doesn’t know is that Nalini has a secret that could help alleviate his current state of sexual frustration.

Kim is a shapeshifter and the agent who briefed John on his current assignment. She has lusted after him and now finds his life in her capable hands. Protecting him is easy but keeping her hands of the handsome man is what Kim finds hard to do.

Love and lust twist their way around John in The Agency: Serpent's Kiss. Kim is beautiful, alluring and the star of John’s erotic fantasies. John is strong, dependable and will be no less than master in all aspects of his life. The couple’s sexual chemistry is charged and exciting. Michelle Hasker delivers action, suspense and tantalizing erotic encounters in The Agency: Serpent's Kiss. Wonderful job Michelle!

Snake shifter Bailey has stayed on Earth too long and is now facing extradition, according to the laws of his home planet. However, there is a more sinister plan in progress, one that involves spies, murder and government takeover.

Roasted is book three in the Blood-Hound Series. In this episode, a power-hungry alien from Bailey’s home planet arrives on Earth to forcibly remove Bailey. The hound shifters Matt and Cliff, along with their lovers, discover the alien is behind the murders of several members of the Intergalactic Police. Plus the alien’s personal guards are mercenaries almost impossible to kill. A battle on Earth, as well as a space battle, is only partly successful in capturing the culprits.

I enjoyed the action thriller Roasted and look forward to the next installment.

Walking home because she got too tipsy at a party wouldn’t cause Isabelle alarm, under normal circumstances. Adding in the fact that it’s Halloween and her distant blood ties to Ichobod Crane makes this night about as far from normal as it can be.

Being abducted by one hot, headless man creeped Isabelle out at first. But then tremors of fright quickly turned into tremors of desire in Headless Horseman. Marteeka Karland puts an alluring spin on this legendary character that I didn’t see coming and I hated to see it end. Who wouldn’t lust after a man who doesn’t waste time on chit chat and takes as good as he gives? This is an excellent addition to the Jack-O-Lantern series.

Keegan Lionheart is known as “The Charmer” because of his ability to win over everyone, in the bedroom and the boardroom. Only one person seemed to be immune to Keegan’s good looks and nickel slick talk, the one person who he’d been given the task of charming. As far as Keegan was concerned, Daniela Davis was one coldhearted woman. His father had ordered Keegan to do anything and everything to keep her from leaving the law firm, so Keegan has to try.

Daniela Davis is a woman who longs for a husband and children someday. That day will never come while she continues working the long hours an attorney has to deal with. Resigning was the only option until Keegan offered his services. He promised to help Daniela lure Mr. Right into her life and keep him there, if she didn’t resign. So Daniela sold her soul to the handsome devil, with hopes of her solitude coming to an end.

With his special talents, Keegan was finding it easy to read Daniela’s dates, while at the same time finding it difficult to keep his eyes off her curves. Keeping his hands off her was impossible. Commitment, marriage and kids are definitely not on Keegan’s “to do” list, and Daniela wouldn’t settle for anything less. The situation gets more confusing when Keegan finds himself thinking about keeping Daniela for himself.

Morrigan created one irresistible matchmaker in Keegan Lionheart and his story is fantastic. I loved seeing Keegan’s secret being revealed by someone other than himself and the shock it gave him. Watching him fight the losing battle of love is hot, humorous and heartfelt. Daniela brings that man to his knees and does some charming herself. The Firm: Charmer is the first story I have read from this series, but certainly not the last. As usual with Morrigan’s stories, this is a must read.

Bobbi is running for his life after escaping two crazy men, who had kidnapped him with the intentions of rape then murder. Suddenly, Bobbi’s captors are attacked by a beast and Bobbi is rescued. 

Bobbi and the Beast is a heartwarming short story. The excerpt is misleading; the setting is a wooded area outside of a modern city. Bobbi is a female impersonator at a night club.  Dressed in drag, his kidnapping is a case of mistaken identity.  When Bobbi encountered the beast, he saw the beauty that lay beyond the outer appearance.  Days later, Bobbi also realized the man within the beast was who Bobbi wanted to spend his life with.  The beast is actually a wealthy businessman cursed with a cynical outlook at his empty life and blessed by the redeeming magic of love.  Saloni Quinby has created an intriguing and exceptionally enjoyable saga.

Robin has been lusting after Rorick and Lochlan since the day she started working for them. Their perfect looks make it impossible for Robin to ignore the rush of heat she feels each time she is near them. It also reminds her of how plain she is and reinforces her belief that there would be no way under the sun such men would look twice in her direction. Even though all three of them have an evening of uninhibited sex, Robin assumes that it had to be a drunken mistake.

Rorick and Lochlan have grown tired of sleeping with every available woman in sight, trying to satisfy their need for Robin. The wolf half of them recognized Robin as their mate, even if she refused to believe them. With the full moon approaching and Robin pulling a disappearing act, the twins’ patience is running out.

Selena Illyria has enslaved me with the Tartan series and another shackle was added after I read Tartan Twins. Robin, Rorick, and Lochlan make one sexually intense story sizzle like frying bacon. Understanding that they are part incubi allowed me to forgive the twins for sleeping with other women and flaunting it in front of Robin. I got a bit worried during moments when Robin was so unsure of herself but in the end, she stepped up to the plate. I can’t wait to see what adventures lay ahead for all three of them.
