EXPLORE MORE SECRETS, reviewed by Ballston Book House Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance, Vol. 6 (Paperback)
Take a walk on the wild side of extreme sensuality with the latest edition of Secrets, romantic erotica at its best published by Red Sage Publishing, Inc. Secrets, Volume 6, is a collection of four erotic and deeply sensual novellas, written for women by women without the brashness typical to the genre. Keeping in mind that these stories are purposely written with a hero that is domineering, dominating, and delectable, they are reminiscent of the "bodice rippers" written 35 years ago but with the added heat of intense sexual description. Add to the mix a strong heroine that will not be pushed around unless she wants to and you have a sensual adventure just waiting to happen. While every story is not every woman's fantasy, they are all tastefully written, entertaining and often quite witty. FLINT'S FUSE by Sandra Fraser is a contemporary tale set in the hot, dry dessert. Dana Madison is kidnapped at the request of her father for her own good as he fears corporate retaliation. Flint, with his mercenary/ renegade persona is the man for the job. Things heat up to a fevered pitch as Flint struggles to keep her captive while keeping his hands to himself. If you like modern day Werewolves that are gorgeous, intelligent and have a good sense of humor,LOVE'S PRISONER by MaryJanice Davidson is sure to please. This story offers snappy dialog, dark sexuality and captivating romance. It is a definite page-turner to say the least. Next, enjoy the historical setting of "THE EDUCATION of MISS FELICITY WELLS" by Alice Gains. At Felicity's request, luscious interludes with the dashing Doctor Slade are meant to prepare her to be a perfect wife...to someone else. Who would have guessed that the innocent Miss Wells would be doing some educating of her own? And last, when you put together a very sensual vampire that is an elite career FBI agent and a small town journalist with big town dreams and you get the steamy thriller "A CANDIDATE FOR A KISS" by Angela Knight. Angela mixes her strong, well-developed characters with strong, well-developed appetites in this story that will leave you wanting the story to go on forever. The "Secrets" Collections have earned a reputation for recruiting writers who produce high quality romance with attention to detail. True to form, this most recent volume offers startling scenarios and wild passion mixed with heartwarming romance. If you're daring enough, take some time to enjoy these erotic romantic adventures when you're in the mood for something more. Secrets, Volume 6, will most definitely take your breath away!

The best Secrets anthology I have read!,
This review is from: Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance, Vol. 6 (Paperback)
I have loved these Secrets anthologies since I discovered them months ago. The novellas are romantic, provocative and erotic to the core. I picked up Secrets Volume 6 because I wanted to read MaryJanice Davidson's first story from her ongoing werewolf series (the third part, Derik's Bane, is a full-length novel scheduled for a January release. If only I could get the advanced copy!). Well, I loved Love's Prisoner. It is full of Davidson's keen storytelling, sensual scenes and memorable quips. Love's Prisoner is a bit darker than Jared's Wolf, the second part of the series, in content and situations, though I've noticed that her stories have always had a hint of edge to them. To my surprise, Davidson's novella isn't my favorite in this volume. I absolutely loved Alice Gaines's The Education of Miss Felicity Wells! The erotic scenes are so well written they are almost tangible, and I loved the story of a virgin getting lessons on how to satisfy her future husband from the very sexy Dr. Marcus Slade. The one thing I found confusing was the setting. Judging by the language and by Felicity's naivete, I assume that this is a historical romantica. I couldn't put this novella down and I wish it had been longer. The other two stories in the anthology -- Sandy Fraser's Flint's Fuse and Angela Knight's vampire romantica A Candidate for a Kiss -- were also great.
This is the best Secrets anthology yet. The others had two or three stories that I liked, but I hadn't loved all of them like in this one. Red Sage Publishing has quality authors in its imprint, and the stories are not formulaic or recycled like the Kensington Brava novellas. I got the chance to read another Davidson story and encountered three other great authors in the process (especially Gaines). Are you in the bargain for beautiful, sensual romantica? I suggest the Secrets anthologies -- this one in particular. I have no idea why this page shows the Volume 7 book and reviews for the same. For those who are confused, Volume 6 has MaryJanice Davidson, Sandy Fraser, Alice Gaines and Angela Knight.

Interesting anthology-and steamy to boot!,
By Stacy (St Paul, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets: The Best in Women's Erotic Romance, Vol. 6 (Paperback)
I will admit it right here. Maryjanice Davidson is one of my best friends(author of LOVE'S PRISONER)and that's the sole reason I bought this book. I will also admit that her story was my favorite in the anthology, but I was really suprised to find several others that "revved me up". Like several other reviewers, I found most of the stories the traditional "strong woman secretly wants to be dominated" bodice-ripper erotica that falls a little short. They were all entertaining and some of the sex scenes were downright molten, but it was the a-typical stories that I truly enjoyed.FLINT'S FUSE about an apparent kidnap victim playing a sexual cat and mouse game with her captor was hot! The characters were interesting and a little more filled out than the standard 2 dimensional ones found in the romance genre. REQUIM FOR THE KISS was a wonderful combination of the supernatural with plenty of action, sex and humor. The authors twist on vampirism was creative and her hero was a delicious champion of good fighting the good fight despite stereotypes of vampires being dark brooding and evil. THE EDUCATION OF MISS FELICITY WELLS was titillating as well as downright charming. A young bride to be wants to keep her future husband satisfied. Felicity hires a well known playboy to educate her in the world of pleasure, but neither of them realizes the fires they will ignite once someone stirs the coals. LOVE'S PRISONER-----sexy, hilarious and very creative. Ms. Davidson is making a name for herself as an author of highly imaginative erotic fiction. Her take on the modern werewolf is inventive and well thought out.---The Alpha male of a modern wolf pack is being pressured to pick his mate for life. After being trapped in an elevator with an unwitting female, an interlude in the dark convinces him he has found her at last. She has other ideas.
