Wow! This is the first book from the publisher Ellora's Cave that I have read, but it will NOT be the last. This was a fantastic anthology that has me ready to read many more stories from all three of these talented authors.

The three stories are tied together by the idea that it is three friends meeting at a halloween party, all of them hoping to (or at least thinking about the possibility) of getting laid. All three of them find their heart's desire.

The first story was Bloodlust by Marilyn Lee and was my favorite out of the bunch. It features a very sexy vampire (my favorite alpha male!) and made me wish that I could have (or be had by!) a vampire of my very own.

The second story was A Little Too Charming by Treva Harte. The hero is a witch who has discovered that to save his family from a curse brought down from the Salem Witch Trials, he must love the descendant of one of the women executed during the trials. This story would have been better if it had been longer. I wanted to know more about the curse and the history of the two families, but the story was still very good.

The third story was by a fave in the world of romantica, Jaid Black. This story was called Naughty Nancy and is in Ms. Black's very popular Trek Mi Q'an series. Although I have never read one of the Trek Mi Q'an Books, I have now purchased the first in the series and am loving it. Jaid Black is a very talented author who even had me interested in what it would be like to love a "gargoylesque" shape-shifter. Very erotic!

I really recommend this book to all readers who like their romance very erotic and spicy. Not for the tame of heart, but definitely a fantastic erotic read!

I have read romance for a long time and really enjoy it. It is stories like these that have inspired me to try writing myself. I have read most of what Jaid Black and Marilyn Lee have written. I really like their work. This is the first Treva Harte's work that I have read and it will not be the last. These stories while very hot all show the beginnings of what turn out to be wonderful relationships.

Bloodlust is the first in series of stories about a family of vampires. Mikhel and Erica are perfect together. Once Erica gets past the terror of a full blood female trying to kill her and Mikhel.

The Jaid Black story is set in the future history of the Trek Mi Q'an series. This is also a very good story. Jaid Black can write lush story populated with characters you can identify with. Her Trek Mi Q'an sereis will have you laughing and crying and cheering the Heroines on the conquer their seven foot plus husbands.

Treva Harte story is about the need to remove a curse and find redemption. Along the way the two lovers learn the meaning of love and understanding.

I would recommend anything written by Jaid Black and Marilyn Lee

All three stories in this Halloween anthology are fun!

My favorite is Naughty Nancy by Jaid Black. Although it's part of her Trek Mi Q'an series, it stands alone very well. Jaid Black has a way of making the bazarre very [physical]. I love her takes on the "beast" theme - be they gargoyles, ape-men, or humanoid.

This is a keeper!

I have to say WOW to Marilyn Lee's "BloodLust" and WOW WOW to Jaid Black's "Naughty Nancy". To Treva Harte's "A Little Too Charming" I have to say Huh? The first two stories were amazing. Jaid Black is more talented than most romantic writers I've read, including Johanna Lindsey and Virginia Henley. Of course the sex and passion are there, but so is the story! Marilyn Lee's story was fantastic. I think she'll make the ladies want tall, dark and handsome more than ever before! I just didn't feel the continuity in Treva Harte's story. I honestly thought the guy was too soft, then BAM! he wasn't. It just didn't transition as well as the other two stories.Despite my complaints, I still thoroughly enjoyed all three stories. I highly recommend this anthology!

This anthology is one of the best I've read in a long time. Three friends meet at a Halloween party and then meet three very different and sexy men who rock their world. This books offers something for everyone from a hunky vampire to a modern witch to an out of this world hero.

The writing is hot and the love scenes are hot. I can't wait to read more about the vampire in the next book.

This book is choc full of erotic tales of the paranormal. There's a tale of a sexual and deviant Vampire and his bloodlust for one lucky mortal woman, a tale of a warlock and his soulmate, and (my fave)the tale of a gargoyle/vampire and his destined mate.

I hated when this book ended, and I can't wait to read more like it. These women writers of the erotic genre really know how to pen an alpha male. And how!!
