Night Owl Reviewed "Something Wicked This Way Comes Volume 2"

The first review of Ellora's Cave newest anthology "Something Wicked This Way Comes Volume 2" is in!
This is what Chris at Night Owl Reviews had to say:

Score: 4.00 / 5 

Six stories all about the beginnings of relationships.  As to the title, to me it hinted more of the paranormal, but that wasn’t really why I read it.  Two of the authors are auto-buys for me, and I’m always excited to read a story from a new (to me) author.  I’ll list the order of the books as they appealed to me.
By far my favorite was Scarred and Kilt by Laurann Dohner.  This author could write a captivating grocery list in my opinion.  I’ve yet to read a bad story by this particular author.  Her males are always totally alpha, totally hot and the women they focus on totally lucky.  
Decadent Dance by Aubrey Ross was a different read that started in our world and ended up somewhere else.  The male character was an alien but oh so desirable.  This is a story I’ll be reading again.  
Jaid Black’s Italian love story called Fatman & Robyn was slow to start in the sex department but had plenty of chemistry and humor.  This couple fell in love before they fell into bed.  A change of pace from this author.  
Tinderbox by Regina Carlysle was a shifter tale that picks up in an established universe.  I enjoyed it, especially the two alpha shifters, immensely and will be looking up the author’s backlist accordingly.  
A touch of BDSM was explored in Sahara Heat by Diana Hunter.  Not hardcore, but a little rope and a slap and tickle.  A little ode to best friends know best.  
Earth’s mythology is explored in Asterion by Katalina Leon.  Otherworldly beings are the basis of the minotaur and the labyrinth as an unfortunate woman is sacrificed to appease a weak man’s desires.  But she has the last laugh.  A creative way to explain the evolution of how people interpret things.
As always, I loved reading all of the stories and while some hit my happy buttons more than others all were enjoyed.

Beautiful Stranger

I just finished edits on "Beautiful Stranger" and I am awaiting it's release date. As soon as I have it I will post it here. Until then here is a Blurb to give you a little taste:

Lily Fontaine is a former beauty queen and media personality but those roles don’t suit her anymore. She’s healing from a hurtful divorce and ready to make big changes in her life, but first she needs her sexual confidence back.

She wants a lover without the risk of heartbreak and considers hiring a male escort as a special treat. Her best friend offers a provocative solution to her request. On her birthday, Lily returns to New Orleans, the place of her birth to meet a special man. She plans to fly in and fly out for a three-day weekend of cool music, great food and hot sex with no emotional attachment and no further contact with the man. She wants to pay to play and hopes to stay in control -what can go wrong?

David is perfect, the man of her dreams. He’s gorgeous, intelligent and knows how to take charge. The attraction is instant. With just the clothes on her back Lily sheds her old life and follows a beautiful stranger into bayou country for the adventure of a lifetime.
