This box set gathers eleven entertaining stories that keep the reader well entertained from beginning to end. The stories are fast paced and intriguing with their lots of action and suspense and each with its own unique elements for variety. The stories are well written and grab the reader’s attention and setting their imagination free.

The chemistry between the characters in each of the stories send shivers down the reader’s spine and ranges from hot and steamy to scorching hot. There is sweet and tender romance, erotic sex play, ménages and more, anal sex and sexual language that heat up the pages of each of these different romantic journeys.

I found these books to be very enjoyable and they can be read one at a time or take a day to curl up and disappear into enchanting worlds. I am looking forward to reading more books by these fantastic authors. The only drawback I found was a couple was a little too short and I think they would have been fantastic if they had been made a little longer. ( )
