I am so very glad I did not pay for this collection. I love paranormal romance, I love erotica and between the 2 you have to truly suspend your sense of reality.
However, this collection has to be one of the most disappointing I've ever read. I did not finish one story in the lot, although I skipped to the last few pages just to see how they ended. Out of the 3, "Curse of Brandon Lupinus" by Shelley Munro has the most potential but still not enough to drag me away from the other books I am reading.
I guess I'm used to more from my paranormal erotica. I didn't find the males to be "dark" and at least 2 of the females were not even likable. I've got to like my leads to truly enjoy a story, even when the story line itself is good.
Others may enjoy it, may find it more Happily Ever After and romantic than the usual fare. I'm willing to allow it had those characteristics. It just wasn't enough for me.

This is truly a book of fantasies. All three stories are good and all are far-fetched but are enjoyable reading. This is one of those books that I'm glad I read and would definitely recommend to others. It won't be on my keeper shelf but only because I like my books hotter. :-)

Great short stories! The first one is way to hot, second is really entertaining, and the 3rd is funny and romantic. Enjoyed all 3.

this book really really could have been better!"tall, dark, and deadly" was a crappy story, come on a vampire who can't kill cause he will get into trouble?!"curse of brandon lupinus" had real promise right up until the end-what a let down kinda fizzled at the end. "kiss of the gargoyle" now there was a good story-good thing it started out first or i would have just stopped after if i read the others. now worth the money.
