Book Description

Publication Date: February 2, 2010

What a hot foursome! The authors of Unlaced returns in an all-new anthology of stories about corsets, and un-corseted desires.

Rough hands rounding the curves of a soft warm body-caressing, stroking, edging her toward exquisite pleasure. Seduction is a cinch in these four sizzling stories from the hot authors of Unlaced. And that's not just talk. These women deliver...

Jaci Burton breaks the rule about mixing business with pleasure...Jasmine Haynes explores the lust of a former supermodel who needs to finally fulfill a no-holds-barred sexual fantasy...Joey W. Hill reveals the erotic bond between a master and the beautiful submissive who stole his heart...And Denise Rossetti goes beyond the limits of desire when she pairs a battle-scarred veteran of love and war with a woman who's just as fearless and twice as dangerous.

About the Author

Jasmine Haynes lives in the California mountains with her husband. She loves writing hot, sexy romances.

When Denise Rossetti was very small, she had an aunt who would tell her the most wonderful fairy tales - all original. Denise grew up, as little girls do, but the magic of story still dazzles and enthralls her. On the good days, she likes to think of herself as Scheherezade's sister. On the bad days - not so much.

She remains an incurable romantic who loves happy endings, heart-pounding adventure and the eventual triumph of good over evil. All hail the guys in the white hats - unless the ones wearing black are more...um...interesting?

Denise lives in a comfortable, messy old house in the Australian suburbs. She's small, noisy and tends to wave her hands around a lot, which can be unfortunate if the tale she's telling happens to have explosions in it.

"No Strings Attached" by Jaci Burton. In Hawaii Ella plans to have a vacation fling with Clay constructed on her belief that what happens on the islands stay on the island until it is time for them to leave.

"La Petite Mort" by Jasmine Haynes. Fortyish Sophia is dying so she wants to go out with a bang provided by her boss Ford.

"Honor Bound" by Joey W. Hill. Military deployments and a serious war related injury cannot keep Peter and Dana apart.

"Rhio's Dancer" by Denise Rossetti. Queen Sikara's Guardsman Rhio feels hypnotized by the Ambassador's slave-Dancer though he tries to stay alert to any attacks on her Highness except for one problem he wants to go under the covers with the Dancer.

These are four heated erotic romances starring likable mature characters whose personal issues enhance the heat.

This review is from: Laced with Desire (Paperback)

Im not usually a fan of short stories but this is the second one with two of my faves Jasmine Hays and Joey Hill and they do not disappoint. I love that the stories all have the reoccurring theme with corsets.

The first story is nice. A good start. Ella and Clay are a nice couple if not a bit predictable. For some reason it bothered me that I knew up front how the story was going to end and that I was just going to read the hurdles to get to the HEA. It also had a nice bit of steam.

Jasmine Haynes story was just awesome. She does such a wonderful job of making her characters real. I feel like I know them. You experience what they do. Mz Haynes puts so much sizzle in her romance I was totally engrossed and felt like I had the whole story but the end.

Joey Hill. I dont even know what to say. This story was so gripping and erotic and...gosh I dont even know what. Powerful. The physical and emotional challenges this couple faced went through my heart. This story is worth the price of the book. It is the most well rounded and full short story... I'm not sure you can call it that. I wanted to read it again just so I could stay with these characters. You need a cigarette after this one.

The last one, I wont lie, I didnt finish it. It seemed interesting but I got distracted and never went back.

This review is from: Laced with Desire (Paperback)

Four incredible tales of love and romance, by four fabulously talented authors, gleefully spiced with erotica and guaranteed to get blood pumping!

Four stories, all so different yet enticingly similar in impact. A wondrous collection, that delights in one of the sexiest, most feminine, and beguiling of lingerie, the corset...
Irresistibly fascinating, wickedly entertaining, each tale is a treasure-trove in itself, and kept me engrossed to the end!
A "not to be missed" book, that is a definite 'keeper' on my shelves.

Titivating and tempting enough, -that I simply had find one again for myself, and began furtively searching the world wide web, for merchants specializing in the almost, "lost art" of corsetry...
Imagine my delight, at finding such an Aladdin's Cave of tempting wares in England, with an outlet in California. I purchased four exquisite examples, to my husbands' endless and heated appreciation...

I'll always be grateful to Joey W. Hill and her fabulous Knights of the Boardroom series, not just for her extraordinary talent, and another most divine and saucy installment, but also, for leading me the Denise Rossetti and her magnificent tales.
Both are masters of their craft, with a superlative skill that surpasses the many, yet is reserved for only the few.
