Book Description

Publication Date: March 3, 2008

A.D. 2203: Adam and Eve By Ravyn Wilde Science has proven that Werewolves have but one genetic breeding mate. Their mate can be another Werewolf, a human female or possibly a warm-blooded Other. Male Weres can only detect their mate's scent during the full moon, so females of all warm-blooded species who don't want to be claimed make a habit of locking themselves in "safe rooms" so their scents can't be detected. For all of her 38 years, geneticist Eve Longtree, an independent human female through and through, has never forgotten to lock herself into her safe room during Lupine moon. Until now. At His Mercy By Doreen DeSalvo Faith Hartley is a researcher in the field of metaphysics. She's also a psychic. She desperately needs Jake McIntyre's approval for grant funds in order to continue conducting research at the university. Jake, a university board member and skeptical to the bone of psychic "charlatans", is ruthlessly determined that Faith won't get that grant money. He wants her to prove her psychic abilities before he'll even consider it. He wants Faith to read his mind, and he arrogantly believes she cannot. Faith can read his mind, all right. But the idea of admitting what Jake is thinking aloud is a bit unsettling. He's thinking of Faith. In wicked ways that would make even a Lady of the Evening gasp in shock… Barbarian By Kate Douglas Bryony believes her captive is the sex slave trader responsible for her sister's death. Holding him prisoner, she sexually "tortures" him for hours, getting him harder than steel but allowing him no release. Innocent of her charges and obsessed with Bryony, Jake hunts her down. Two years later he captures his prey. And payback is a bitch. Joshua 4.0 By Sahara Kelly Joshua is everything a woman dreams of: gorgeous, sexy, and built with a body made for sin (and giving multiple O's). The problem is Joshua is a virtual reality computer program. He isn't real…or is he? Manimal By Lani Aames All Kelsey Locke wanted to do was get away for the weekend. She was sick to death of her ex-boyfriend and his irritating attempts to remain in her life. When a friend offered Kelsey the use of her secluded cabin for respite, she jumped at the offer. Kelsey was expecting snow, forest scenery, solitude to get some work done without interruptions, and not much else. Little does Kelsey know, someone - or something - is watching her. And his need to mate is strong… Time-share: Amelia's Journey By Lora Leigh Determined to make Venus habitable for humans, a spaceship of scientists heads to the veiled planet to work. An unexpected crash separates the crew, leaving Amelia alone with Mike and Saber. Strange things are happening in the biosphere, a primal, primitive phenomenon that affects not only Venus' organisms, but its three human inhabitants, too. The need to mate, to be impregnated, overwhelms Amelia, and the desire to be the one who impregnates her overpowers both men. Mike. Saber. Two hot-blooded males in their prime. But just like with any other species of animal, only one man can be the alpha male.

Wow, this book is hot! I loved every story in it and especially appreciated the fact that the bondage was erotic, arousing, and did not involve humiliation of either party.

I can't wait to order the rest of the books in the series.

HIGHLY recommend this book.

I loved all these stories, but my favorites are the ones by Doreen DeSalvo and Kate Douglass. DeSalvo gives us a BBW, psychic woman who has to convince a skeptical man that her powers are real. The skeptic is hot and you really feel how vulnerable the overweight woman feels compared to him -- and to all the women she psychically "sees" in his past. The bondage is light, not heavy or super-kinky or done just for shock as in a lot of EC books. Love this story!

Kate Douglass' barbarian is my other fave. Again the bondage & sm type scenes really fitt he story and the characters. I like when these scenes aren't just tacked on. You feel that these people could really exist in the future and you cheer for them to solve their problem through the whole story. When they finally come together it's great.

The other stories in here are also great, too, I don't want to slight any of them, but the above two are my favorites.

As a whole, this is a very hot collection of tales from Ellor'a Cave. Some stories are better than others, but all are very sexy reads.

1) Joshua 4.0 by Sahara Kelly **** It's an interesting tale with a virtual reality theme and a funny ending, but I just didn't get into it.

2)Barbariab by Kate Douglas **** Pretty sexy story with some distracting dark emotions, including a heroine who doesn't care if she lives or dies at the beginning. She has to go back and repair the damage she caused to an innocent man. A futeristic space-travel setting.

3) Manimal by Lani Aames * This story was a complete turn-off for me. The hero is a werewolf who was injured and needs sex to heal, only he shifts. The idea of flipping back and forth between human and creature during sex is just... eewww... at least for me. Contemporary paranormal.

4) A. D. 2203: Adam & Eve **** In this future-world story, the Earth has dies and will be renewed and reborn by one group of settlers and their alien helper. Very well-balanced sensuality and engaging storyline.

5) At His Mercy by Doreen DeSalvo **** In this story a psychic is making a pitch for research funding to a hard-core sceptic. Their attraction leads them from the restaurant to the bedroom where they bond in more ways than physically. Contemporary paranormal.

6) Time Share: Amelia's Journey by Lora Leigh ***** Can I give this one six stars? This one is burn-your-fingertips hot. When two men and a woman crash-land on another planet their simple research voyage gets very complicated very quickly. Ms. Leigh is an expert at driving sexual tension and this menage story goes up in flames. This story alone is worth buying the book. Futuristic space-travel.

This book is a great showcase of Ellora's Cave's authors. I recommend it to ayone who loves a blazing hot and kinky read.
