It’s rare that you enjoy every story in a book of novellas, but I hit the jackpot with this book. Be warned, they are not necessarily graphic, but they are very sensual, but they are also well-plotted, with original characters, and lots of excitement. Knight writes a tale of the Mageverse, with vampires and Majae and battles and Direwolves and love and, well if you’ve read Knight’s other books you know what to expect. James’ story of a Changer, his beloved, and the bad guys after them, is nicely written, my least favourite of the four, but still a good book. ‘Sweet Enchantment’ by Bast is just that, sweet, full of high romance, Fae, and magic, although what a waste of thirty years! Lora Leigh’s ‘Breed’ story carries on from the betrayal, with Jessica Raines, who was drugged and forced to betray the Breeds, finally released from imprisonment only to find herself under attack, with Hawk, the mate she is determined not to forgive, her one chance at safety. There will be at least one story in here you will enjoy!

I bought this mainly for Hawke and Jessica's romance. This short addition of another breed story is still very hot with danger and suspense surrounding the heroine as someone is out to kill her. Hawke protects her and the love of a lifetime evolves. Knight's story is also entertaining and steamy, and the other two stories have a lot of paranormal elements in them but a great read if you're into fantasy plots. Overall, worth reading.

Four delishly sexy short stories with a Chritmas flavour.A quick taste of the paranormal romance genre to whet your appetite.

I bought this anthology mainly for for Lora Leigh's breed story on Hawke and Jessica but loved all the other stories.

In Lora leigh's we are given Hawke and Jessica's story. It takes place about a year after Jessica was caught betraying the Breeds. For such a short story, I felt like I was still given another great slice of life with the Breeds. Its christmas time and Hawke has been waiting long enough for suspicions and anger against Jessica to die down. He is ready to claim his mate. The sex was still spicy Leigh style and the plot concerned the council and the drug they've created that hides their scents. I am fascinated by how this author is going through the plot and giving us a great story line.

In Angela Knight's story we are back in the world of the mageverse. I dont know how she makes it believable that the characters have to have sex to reveal their power but it works.LOL. I have no problem believing it. The story is about Kat one of Lance's many children before he met his wife Grace and Ridge Champion the vamp selected to help her through her change. The plots very thin but I expect thats more to do with the anthology format then Knight's writing. It was still an enjoyable short story read.

I know Allyson James from her dragon stories. In Hot for the holiday, we are following the story of Naomi a single mother and the return of her old lover Jamison. Jamison left Naomi for 2 yrs when he discovered he was a changer(he can shift into a lion) Jamison had no control and left to protect Naomi, although she never had any idea why he left.

Lastly was Anya Basts contribution. I have never read this author before so I dont know if the addition to this was typical of her writing. It is about Ronan the unseelie and his lover or ex lover Bella who is from the Queen's court. Ronan is about to be sentenced to death but Bella steps in to save him. The story was GOOD not great but I will be looking at some fuller length novels by Anya Bast
