Getting Slayed By Anya Bast Princess Jeweline of the Kingdom of Hask fears she will never shed her pesky chastity belt and finally get laid, especially since a dragon keeps charbroiling all her fiancés. Jeweline decides to slay the dragon herself, but the dragon is not everything she'd presumed. He's dangerous and fire-breathing all right, but he's not always a dragon. Marcus is a cursed man with dark, erotic needs that Jeweline finds herself all too willing to satisfy. That is, until Darrion the Brave, dragon slayer extraordinaire, explodes onto the scene with a goal of killing Marcus and taking Jeweline for his own. Passionflower By Ravyn Wilde What happens when you combine passionflower wine, a gorgeous foreign man whose understanding of the English language seems to short-circuit occasionally with a nightclub specializing in private booths? You wake up the next morning with a screaming headache. A suspicion the mattress beneath you just might be flesh and blood instead of memory foam. And a view out the window that seems to be the planet Earth, as seen from space. All Nancy wanted to do was put some social interaction back into her very secluded life... She ended up with something out of this world. Shadows Stir By N.J. Walters Warriors of the Shadow Realm are facing their own demise, so the Shadow Lord sends one of his Ryders into the world to protect a woman who might hold the key to their very survival. Gideon finds more than someone to protect. He finds a woman to love. Jo Harris is a woman on a mission to find her missing sister and she'll do whatever it takes. She encounters a mysterious stranger who becomes both protector and lover. But will their love be enough to save them both from the encroaching shadows? Sting of the Wind By Charlotte Boyett-Compo Shannon O'Rourke was thrilled to get the job at Durbin Enterprises. She believed in what the billionaire owner was trying to accomplish with medical research on blood diseases and a blood bank to provide blood and plasma for local and national emergencies. Despite his philanthropic endeavors, Shae Durbin holds a dark secret, one Shannon soon discovers the blood bank meets the needs of creatures that can never see the light of day. To protect his people, Shannon must be brought into that world within the erotic arms of a master vampire. Temperature Rising By Lena Matthews Danner Austin knows that falling for his best friend's sister could ruin their friendship but he just can't stop thinking about her. When Breanna Cole's brother asks her to house sit, she accepts so she can be closer to Danner. Unfortunately she didn't count the heat wave and blackouts into her grand plan of seduction. The heat's rising and Danner's self-control is slipping. If he can keep his cool during the heatwave, everything will be fine. Now all he has to do is figure out how to keep his hands off Breanna once the lights go out. Virtuosity By Kris Starr Three years after the wrongful death of her husband during a mission to an alien planet's surface, Commander Dillon Walker is still wrought with guilt. Seeking an escape and a lover's touch, yet not willing to open her heart to a traditional new relationship, Dillon turns to the virtual world of the HoloSuite.

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best Cavemen books Ellora's Cave has come out with so far!,
By C. Dionne "Chrissy Dionne" (Cloverdale, OREGON USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Ellora's Cavemen: Dreams of the Oasis Volume 4 (Paperback)
GETTING SLAYED by Anya Bast
Princess Jeweline is fed up with being a virgin and her chaffing chastity belt. The simple fact that she's still untouched is because of the fire breathing-dragon who's charbroiled all seven of her fiances. Obviously if she's ever going to have sex she'll have to take care of the dragon herself. What will Jeweline do when she actually meets up with the dragon and discovers he's not what he seems? Or when dragonslayers begin arriving hoping to win her hand in marriage by killing the dragon named Marcus? Anya Bast does a fabulous job with this tale! You get a headstrong princess with a dragon that runs amok destroying any chance Jeweline has of ever having sex. This story is both comical and endearing. STING OF THE WIND by Charlotte Boyett-Compo Shannon O'Rourke is one of the privileged few humans to work among the supernatural beings at Durbin Enterprises. She takes great pride in the strides the company has made in medical research on blood diseases and the blood bank that aids both human and otherworldly creatures. As Shae Durbin's special personal assistant, she gets the benefit of his expertise and loving which he's perfected over the past five hundred years. I've often jokingly said that hospitals and blood banks have vampires in the basement so I got a real kick out of this whole storyline. Charlotte Boyett-Compo has contributed a fun storyline with truly likeable characters. TEMPERATURE RISING by Lena Matthews Brenna Cole has had a huge crush on her brother's best friend and neighbor Danner Austin for as long as she can remember. Since her brother has asked her to house-sit, she fully intends to seize the opportunity to show him just how much she's grown up. She doesn't count on the extreme heat wave or rolling blackouts. Things are definitely going to heat up when the electricity goes out. I've always loved Lena Matthews gutsy take-charge characters and homey realistic situations. This is a very fun story to visualize especially when Brenna's brother returns home earlier than expected. VIRTUOSITY by Kris Starr Commander Dillon Walker has spent the past three years reeling from the wrongful death of her husband during a mission to an alien planet. After visiting with some of her fellow crew members and hearing of their experiences in the HoloSuite, Dillon figures a virtual lover, Aiden, would satisfy her physical needs without risking her heart. Or could Aiden be more real than she thought? I found Kris Starr's VIRTUOSITY to be poignantly heart touching. If you've ever suffered the loss of a loved one then you'd know just how hard it is to go on with life and I admire Dillon for her courage even if it is only with a virtual lover. SHADOWS STIR by N.J. Walters The fate of the Warriors of the Shadow Realm lies in the hands of a mortal woman. The Shadow Lord will do whatever he has to in order to save his kind and so he sends one of his Ryders, Gideon, to protect her. Jo Harris is determined to find her sister and in doing so is putting herself in danger. Gideon and Jo's attraction is too strong to deny but will they be able to save themselves from the shadows? N.J. Walters brings this tale into the light beautifully! Right from the beginning I was drawn into the storyline and didn't want it to end. I am fascinated by the Warriors of the Shadow Realm and their plight and would love to see more books about them in the future. PASSIONFLOWER by Ravyn Wilde Nancy only wants to bring a little social interaction into her lonely life. The last thing she expects is a gorgeous foreign man who seems to be having a bit of trouble with the English language to take an interest in her or the extreme desire she feels for him. It couldn't be because of the Passionflower wine that he's shared with her, could it? The whole experience is just out of this world - literally. Ravyn Wilde's PASSIONFLOWER is an awesome tale that will quickly capture and hold readers' interest. This is a fun intergalactic romp full of unexpected events, humorous conversation, and a far off planet. I'm intrigued by M'ike's home planet and would love to read more about it in future books. The Cavemen are back and better then ever in this newest anthology, ELLORA'S CAVEMEN: DREAMS OF THE OASIS IV. As always, there are multiple genres represented so that readers can experience old favorites and try out something new as well. As a longtime reader of the Cavemen books I am extremely impressed with this one. There isn't a single story in this book that I didn't absolutely love and in several cases I even visited the author's web sites to find out if there would be other books involving characters or themes that I'd like to read more about. Congratulations to all of the authors! You truly outdid yourselves on this one. Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies)

Either really good, or really bad,
By
This review is from: Ellora's Cavemen: Dreams of the Oasis Volume 4 (Paperback)
I bought this anthology as a fan of 3 of the authors already, so it's tough when some of the work just isn't that good. Most of the ideas in this have been done to death, so it just leaves the execution to make the stories stand out. Not all of them do.
The first story in the mix is "Getting Slayed" by Anya Bast. Jeweline is a spoiled princess stuck in a chastity belt until someone slays the dragon and wins her hand. Tired of being a virgin, she decides to take matters into her own hands and kill the dragon herself, only to discover he's really a gorgeous guy under a curse. Jeweline is far from saccharine and the set-up is fun and hot. Bast serves the story well, and this one is by far my favorite of the bunch. Story #2 is Charlotte Boyett-Compo's "Sting of the Wind." I'll admit upfront I'm not a fan of this particular author. I've read other work by her and found it melodramatic and overwrought. This was just more of the same, about a woman who's the human assistant to a vampire and his do-gooding corporation. Not my style. Lena Matthews' "Temperature Rising" is an interracial romance between Danner and his best friend's little sister. It's typical Matthews' style, with little actual plot but plenty of steamy action. It delivers exactly what it promises. My surprise read of the bunch was "Virtuosity" by Kris Starr. This was one of the authors I'd never read before, and I was surprised to find a slightly melancholy story of loss as a widow struggles to move on from her husband's death. It's set in the future, and the widow in question is a skilled starship captain, but even as she begins to explore her options by trying out the pleasure programs on the Holosuite, there's a sense of universality about her characters emotions that makes it not only relatable but a poignant read. The story that disappointed me the most was "Shadows Stir" by NJ Walters. I'm a huge fan of the author, but the more I read of her, the more I think I'm more a fan of her contemporary work than her paranormal. This is a story of love at first sight/know your true mate without any logical reason/save the future of a dying race through magic children kind of story. It's not my thing, and unfortunately, not even an author I love could sell it to me. The anthology doesn't end well with Ravyn Wilde's "Passionflower." This scifi is about a woman who gets kidnapped by an alien for mating purposes, chosen *specifically* because she's plus-sized and can thus accommodate his larger size and greater strength. Turns out, he also has extra endowments, which push the story so far into the realm of the absurd that I can only laugh at any attempt to take this story seriously. Oh, and the alien's name is M'ike. Because, of course, an apostrophe automatically makes a name exotic. Not a keeper for me, not even for the stories I did enjoy.
