ALL WRAPPED UP contains exciting tales by four of today's popular erotic romance authors - all compiled within one book from Changeling Press.

BLOOD SERVICE by Angela Knight
Adiva is in big trouble. Her part in the effort to overthrow General Tang's government has garnered Tang's attention and he's placed a sizable bounty on her head. It's a bounty that has attracted the attention of Vigilante, a Vampire bounty hunter with an agenda of his own. Adiva's only hope of escaping the brutal bounty hunter is to get offworld before he finds her. Only she doesn't make it and Vigilante offers her the choice - become his willing bloodthrall or he turns her over to Tang where she'll be tortured and eventually killed.

Angela Knight will literally suck readers in with this storyline. It's action packed with sizzling hot sex scenes. Adiva's panic over being caught will get your heart pounding and Vigilante's ruthless yet caring nature will satisfy the readers need for the "bad boy" we crave.


BRANDED by Ann Jacobs
Saving submissive, Amber, from the brutality of a sadistic Dom called Dax results in Cole being exiled from Earth. This banishment that should be a punishment turns out to be a blessing. BDSM - the lifestyle Cole enjoys is outlawed on Earth. On Obsidion, Cole creates an environment where lovers and dabblers of BDSM can experience the beauty of this alternate lifestyle without being considered a sexual deviant. The only thing missing for Cole is Amber. Until his sister and Amber get caught in a raid and they're also exiled from Earth, unfortunately so is Dax. By the time Amber comes to Cole as his slave, she is unable to experience pleasure without pain. Will Cole be able to show her that pleasure can be obtained without pain?

Ann Jacobs depicts both the ugliness and beauty that can be found in the BDSM lifestyle in this futuristic storyline. Readers will fall in love with Cole. His love and devotion to Amber is inspiring. He may be the Master in the relationship, but there's no doubt that Amber holds his heartstrings.


SLAVE SCHOOL DROPOUT by Dakota Cassidy
Nyla is an Egyptian Mau, a descendant of the Goddess Bast. Her pedigree is impeccable and nothing but the best will do. Lucas has been her movie buddy for the past year, and while he's great to pal around with, he's a Tom cat, which makes any thought of a sexual relationship with him intolerable. The Goddess doesn't care about pedigrees or lineage, and neither does Nyla's nose. All of a sudden she can smell Lucas and he smells way better than catnip. He's definitely her lifemate and just one night together proves it, but good lord, what are the torture devices she spots in his closet while looking for a hand towel? Well, it simply won't do. There is no way she is going to allow Lucas to put a kitty collar on her.

Dakota Cassidy always writes such humorous tales and this is no exception. You'll laugh your way through this story as you imagine this uppity cat trying to deny that her lifemate is a Tom cat. I get this image of a Persian with a mangy barn cat and can't help but laugh at the pair of them.


TAINTED KISSES by Kate Hill
Ripped from his mother's womb and raised by the creature responsible for her death, Etlu has never known kindness, love, or mercy. His entire life has consisted of pain, anguish and death. Like the creature that changed him to a blood drinker and trained him, Etlu's life is full of destruction. He is curious about the happiness he sees amongst the humans, but he's never been touched or been shown kindness. Niabi is also a blood drinker but unlike Etlu, she was raised with affection and kindness. Niabi was sworn to protect the village that Etlu's warriors destroyed. Niabi's status as a female is revealed before the destruction is complete. Etlu strikes a bargain with Niabi - her complete surrender to his desires, in exchange for the lives of her people. Will Niabi be able to show Etlu that love is a strength, not a weakness?

This is the darkest story in this anthology but I was fascinated by the idea that someone who has grown up knowing nothing but hate and destruction can learn to trust and care for others. Kate Hill allows us to experience the metamorphosis of Etlu from a cold-hearted killer to a caring man who learns to love.


Readers will be delighted with the stories that can be found between the cover of ALL WRAPPED UP. With vampires, futuristic settings, a snobby cat and her Tom cat, as well as an evil force to be reckoned with - you get to experience a variety of emotions that will titillate your senses and leave you in awe of the talents that these authors possess.

Finally, I deliver a futuristic where Earth's exiles find a place to practice their BDSM lifestyle in a brave new world where love heals wounds both physical and emotional.

If you enjoy erotic romance, this is an anthology you won't want to miss!

Four dynamite stories no fan of erotic romance should miss!

Angela Knights, Blood Service is the story of Adiva Mayhew, a spy who's on the run from a bounty hunter. She's caught by 'Vigilante' who knows what he wants from her and doesn't want to let her go. No one writes sexy dominant heroes like Angela!

Ann Jacobs story, Branded, is a very touching BDSM story. About love and healing, it's highly recommended!

Dakota Cassidy's, Slave School Dropout is a hoot! It's the story of shape shifting cats and secret kinky desires - with a very humorous twist.

Kate Hills, Tainted Kisses is a wonderful vamp story about a woman who gives herself to save her village and finds love in return. It's a wonderful story.

Four excellent stories, all highly recommended!

I bought this book because I love Angela Knight, but I have to say that the other 3 authors did real well.
I only read and finish books that keep my interest in the first chapters, all 4 of these stories did that, and I will also add that this was a one night read, I just could not put it down.

All wrapped up is not for the faint of heart. This book delves in to the world of BDSM (if you don't know what this means well maybe this book isn't for you). All wrapped up contains 4 stories with a paranormal or scifi slant. The stand out story was by Dakota Cassidy, "Slave School Dropout". Its about cats...yes I said cats, shape-shifters no less. The main character Nyla is a tad neurotic and over the top but its filled with humor and well written. It touches on the BDSM world lightly,easily palatable. The next best is Angela Knight's "Blood Service" a bit more hard core but what do you expect from a story about vampires and blood thralls. Next is Kate Hill's Tainted Kisses a little light in the story telling department if this was a full novel I think it would be much better. The last and my least favorite was Branded by Ann Jacobs. The main characters Amber and Cole were too much for me. Amber was so weak and wishy-washy that I couldn't bear to read this through. Truthfully I just skimmed and it still wasn't good. Ann "A" for effort but "E" for the story. All in all spicy very spicy,but this would be the equivalent of 4 appetizers not entrees.

Best story in the book was by A. Knight the first story really got into the characters. the others stories were ok but it didnt WOW me like the first story. still entertaining

In this book I could see another side of love. It was a very erotic bdsm. An adult fiction for the strong at heart.

The first story by Angela Knight was the best in the book, but it still was not worth buying the whole book. It seemed like these stories were just a sad excused to write about sex. I enjoy actually liking the characters involved and an actual story line to follow.
