The Red Sage books offer four great tales from different periods, the tales are exceptionally well written, cutting edge, steamy romances. But having read them all, find most of the tale soon fade. NOT Angela Knight. No matter the tale she is the strongest of the writers and needs to be writing big books!!

THis one offers another variation of periods.

Jeannie Cesarini give you The Spy Who Loved Me. She and another undercover FBI agent are posed as actors to break a porn-snuff ring.

Ann Jacobs' tale is The Barbarian. Started out really well, but went down hill. Lady Brianna and her castle are given to Giles, Earl of Harrow and she vows not to surrender. Medieval is my period - so I was really enjoying this tale. But sorry, when he turned her over his the Eunuch and had him teach her how to please him and told her when he was away the Eunuch would keep her happy, I lost interest.

BJ McCall has another tale of Love Undercover, in this one, Lieutenant Amanda Forbes finds herself in a sting operations at the local strip joint where she must perform on stage while her partner is bouncer. This was the second strongest of the group.

But as usual, Angela Knight gives you the best and most memorable tale. Red Sage's Secrets are very interesting cutting edge of Romance fiction. I would be them for Angela Knight alone. Her books are super. Frankly, they would make super movies. And once again, her story is the strongest in this set of four.

Angela Knight's BLOOD AND KISSES is really was cracking good story. It is a futuristic vampire tale. Vampire assassin, Tagliar is after Beryl St. Cloud. Her only hope lies with one good vampire named Decker. An ex-mercenary, he is now freelance and requires payment for help. Since Beryl is broke, there is only one thing she can offer in payment...her blood...however James Decker finds her wants a lot more...one year to be exact. Knight says sadly most vampires are either whiners or psychopaths...too true. So she sets out to give a dark hearted, vampire hero. One rocking story!! Angela Knight I would read ANYTHING YOU WRITE!! * * * * * for this tale

"The Spy Who Loved Me" by Jeanie Cesarini is about two FBI agents who fall for each other while they are working undercover. An excellent story as is the related story in Secrets 4.
"The Barbarian" by Ann Jacobs is about an Earl using the sensual arts he learned in the East to conquer his bride. Think Beatrice small, but hotter!
"Blood and Kisses" by Angela Knight is my favorite. It's a futuristic vampire romance with Beryl St. Cloud, hiring vampire and ex-mercenary Decker to protect her from a vampire assassin.
This is a wonderful and very steamy story.
"Love Undercover" by B.J. McCall is about a female cop undercover as bait in a strip club and her fellow detective who's undercover also. Excellent story!
Wonderful stories, Highly recommended!

Blood and Kisses was just the absolute BEST! I've always loved vampire romances and this story alone makes the purchase price worthwhile. The other stories were good (barbarian & princess, cops & secret agents), but Blood and Kisses was incredible - I can't wait to read all the other volumes!

Although short, I really enjoy these series of books because they give you a taste of what the authors can do. Once read you can find the rest of their books & enjoy them so much more because they are longer. A great way to find new talent.

I loved all these stories. These Secrets collections are really coming of age, from sexy vampires to pierced princesses. I can't wait to read Volume 4!

Wow! This was a great read. I especially liked the Blood and Kisses story. I will definitley look for these authors again and also the series. Keep them coming please.

Although the erotic scenes were good in all the stories, I only found Angela Knight's story of 'Blood and Kisses' believable. I never questioned why a character or situation occurred and felt I read a 'complete' plot. I plan on reading everything she has written.

This is the best Secrets Volume yet. Blood and Kisses (an erotic vampire story) makes the book worth the money all by itself! Not to downplay the other entries in this Volume. All EXCELLENT!

I'm not gonna summarize it, everyone else does that. I'll just give you my opinion of each.

The Spy Who Loved Me - The story started out good, and continued very hotly. However, there were a few parts I think could have been better written. As in, more tender.

Love Undercover - This one was my favorite. Love, steamy sex, humor, action, teasing, it had everything - including character development, which is cool for a short story.

Blood and Kisses - Everybody raved about this one, but I honestly don't understand the good reviews. It actually sucked in my opinion. I usually like Angela Knight, but this was not written well. It started out interesting, but just went downhill fast. Too soon it was...well, boring. Too much action, not enough sensuousness, or tender love, or even hot sex. It was just...disassociated. She could have done it better if she'd developed more. This would have been a better stand alone novel, not a short story.

The Barbarian - There was so little romance in this last one, I lost interest, like a few other reviewers I've noticed. It also wasn't much of a story, more like weird events happening.

OK, so now I have about 6 of the "Secrets" series...they are awesome. If you want to get the fire going, this is it.
