5.0 out of 5 stars Really hot anthology, April 14, 2009

This review is from: Dangerous Ties (Paperback)

Personal Possesion by Devyn Quinn

Mortally wounded in a shootout over drug money Nikki finds herself in hell, where she is greeted by a naked man when she awakens. Jackson Sullivan plans to test her limits to determine how she will spend eternity. What will the future will hold for her?

Ms. Quinn really knows how to set the pages afire. Personal Possesion is such a hot story with a very dominant hero and an equally strong as well as wicked heroine. They are perfect match for each other. A scorching start for this anthology!

Captive Heat by Jodi Lynn Copeland

Leia finds herself bound in the hands of an unknown captor, after she set the house of her abusive ex-husband, Kane, on fire and lost consciousness. Sebastian is neither dead nor alive, but he desires Leia and what he desires he gets.

Ms. Copeland is well known for her great contemporary stories, but her paranormal story really rocks. This reviewer hopes that Captive Heart will not be her last paranormal.

Liason by Anya Howard

Marcel would to everything in his power to keep Carina out of the reach of the evil vampires, who terrorize the small European village.

Liason was this reviewer's first story by Ms. Howard and she made her really curious about her other works.


DANGEROUS TIES is an anthology that takes it readers on a trip to the wicked and kinky side of life and the afterlife. A must read for all fans of extremely hot and wicked stories, with a kinky touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars dark well written heated romantic fantasy novellas, April 11, 2009

This review is from: Dangerous Ties (Paperback)

"Personal Possessions" by Devyn Quinn. During a drug deal, Nikki is shot. When she awakens she is in bed naked with nude hunk Jackson who welcomes her to his Helle.

"Captive Heat," by Jodi Lynn Copeland. The explosion knocked Leia out. When she regains consciousness she finds herself naked and tied down by vines in the underground abode of Sebastian. He plans to wakes up naked, underground and bound with vines as Leia's captor teaches her acceptance as he explores her sensual boundaries

"Liaison" by Anya Howard. Marcel tries to keep his beloved Carina safe from the ancient vampire using a magic collar; while the villagers, as they for ages, perform sexual rites to restrain the evil that resides in their monastery.

These three romantic fantasy novellas are dark well written heated thrillers, but not for everyone as the hunks in the Quinn and Copeland tales teeter on the line between mutually accepted bondage and abuse; on the other hand that also makes them seem plausible as they somewhat remain in character even when they find a love mate. This also leaves the Howard entry different as the lead male is a pure hero fighting a pure evil over the woman he cherishes. Sub-genre fans will enjoy the DANGEROUS TIES that bound the lead characters to one another.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buyers Beware, June 29, 2009

This review is from: Dangerous Ties (Paperback)

I usually enjoy the books from Aphrodisia, including most books with the theme I expected from one titled Dangerous Ties. The first two stories were decent but the settings were not what I was anticipating, and the third story by Anya Howard as descibed on the website and the back cover of the book is not the story actually contained in the book. Buyers beware! I don't know how the other reviewers did not notice or comment on this fact.
