FEVER by Kimberly Dean

Delia Jenkins has only been working for Lloyd Security Systems for two months. Catching a bug that gives her a skyrocketing fever is a huge inconvenience. She tries to work but Rob convinces her that she'd recuperate better if she went home and took care of herself. On the way out of the office she practically stumbles into her boss, Jackson Lloyd. He is none too pleased to see her in Rob's care.

Rob promises to stop by Delia's apartment to check on her later so she's not surprised when she's awakened by the arousing voice and caress of a man whom she's sure will be able to help douse the incredible heat that has her practically delirious. Will she come to regret anything she experiences during this night of incredible heat?

Kimberly Dean does an incredible job creating a scenario where having a raging fever is unbelievably sexy. While being so ill and having a brain cell frying fever is no laughing matter, Delia's lack of inhibitions which is caused by the fever is downright funny. There's no shortage of suggestive ways to cool down a heated body in this smoldering tale but I can guarantee it'll raise your body temperature a notch or two.

PERFECTION by Summer Devon

Bryan thought nothing of agreeing to be a lab rat in exchange for an extraordinary amount of money, until the experiment went very wrong. The experiment had unexpected results and suddenly he's irresistible to women. Now he's running from the throngs of women who desire him and the goons who are determined to learn the secret to the essence he exudes... it could be worth millions.

While on the run, Bryan meets Allie, a late night waitress at a diner. He's immediately attracted to her but fears any attraction she feels for him may be a direct result of his the experiment. The goons who are after Bryan decide that they'd like Allie to visit their facilitiles for some testing. This is something that Bryan has no intention of allowing. Somewhere out there is the perfect woman and having sex with her will cure him of this affliction. Can Allie possibly be the cure to what ails him?

Summer Devon turns the male fantasy of being irresistible to women into a nightmare in this little gem of a story. I could just visualize this poor guy being mobbed by women and his fear that Allie will do the same thing. I loved the way Allie and Bryan form a bond and vow to help each other. Among such chaos their relationship is gentle and sweet and of course, very hot!

Unfortunately the flying saucer and the gorgeous alien who emerges from it appear to be very real. As he approaches the car Maggie tries to lock the doors but the locks refuse to stay down. He finally opens the door and she screams to no avail. The alien touches her and instead of fear, she's filled with longing and hope.

"Fever" by Kimberly Dean. Delia Jenkins is very ill with a high fever, but comes to work at Lloyd Security Systems because she has only been there two months and fears losing her job as she has a project budget due today; she adheres to "presentism" instead of absenteeism. Her peer Robbie informs the boss Jackson Lloyd that he is taking her to bed. Not long afterward, a drugged ailing Delia is awakened by a compassionate touch. As she feels better she sees her hero nearby nursing her though she wants him to provide her a different type of 104 degrees fever.

"Perfection" by Summer Devon. Metcher Corporation's experiment with pheromones made Bryan Hartigan irresistible to women, which proves a curse as he can go nowhere without a woman chasing his body; stalkers are the norm. He only recently learned from Dr. Nathan that his only escape is to find Ms. Perfect. However as he seeks her he also has to elude women and an apparent group that want to steal his essence even if it means killing him to do so. At a restaurant he meets Allie the waitress, who is turned on to him, but for the first time in months he is turned on too.

"Taming Him" by Michelle M. Pillow. Maggie Stewart is driving by herself when she sees an alien spaceship lands nearby. She thinks of fleeing before she becomes an alien abduction statistic, but then she sees the hunk Vladei. He kidnaps her, but on his vessel he treats her like no human ever has before. Instead of a prisoner or a slave, she is a queen given regal pleasure by her king.

These three erotic romances contain delightful storyline, hot hunks, and fully developed (not just their boobs) females who keep each tale focused. Sub-genre fans will enjoy these "everyday" sirens teasing, tantalizing, and taming their testosterone men.

Nannette reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed

I'll admit the sex scenes were hot - or at least they could have been. But the stories didn't really have the best plots.

The first one was confusing, as the male lead isn't even who you think he is. So when his identity is revealed, you now have to rethink of all the sex scenes with him instead of who you thought he was - and how is that even hot? - but you're not even given enough information about how the real guy is in the beginning so it's not a satisfying ending.

The next plot was just unrealistic and dumb, and the characters weren't likable.

The last one was the worst. I'm sorry, but alien sex is just ridiculously un-sexy, plus the fact that it ended so quickly, leaving a ton of unanswered questions.

Bottom line, it wasn't worth it.

lOVED IT....only the first and third were realllllly good. But the first can't imagine myself being horny with a high fever (JUST SAYING) but loved it, didn't care for the second story.

First story good - well written, belivable - very erotic

Second story - so-so. Quick end to story - like the author looks at computer and realizes time to wrap up

Third story - dumb. And I prefer not to read about threesomes. Would not have purchased book.
