I wasn't aware that this was a collection of erotica short stories until after I had started reading it. I had actually gotten it to read the one piece by Mary Janice Davidson but did find another author I may want to check out after reading this.
Flint's Fuse
Whereas this story did have some steamy sex scenes, the dialogue and some of the actions between the characters was extremely corny. I think my eyeballs may be stuck skyward from having rolled them so often and I don't know if I've ever read the term "lover" used as an endearment so often that the redundancy drove me nuts. If this is a classic example of this author's writing, I'm not really interested in looking for more works by her. Overall, the concept of the story was good, but the delivery poor.
Love's Prisoner
If your familiar with MJD, then you won't be surprised by this story having a lead female who's the typical "Witty Ditz" that seems to be found in all of MJD's stories I've read. If you're a fan of the Wyndham Werewolves, or just want to know how Jeannie and Michael met, then this story is for you. Overall, I did enjoy the story with the exception of a couple of rape scenes that made me feel like Jeannie was just a victim of Stockholm Syndrome.
The Education of Miss Felicity Wells
I have to admit, this author does have a great writing style, but when I first started reading the story it rather reminded me of a plot that you'd see in a cheezy old porn flick from a few decades ago before the actors started trimming their hedges ;P. I had a hard time getting the image of John Holmes in the role of the tutor out of my head for a bit, which almost ruined the story for me until I was able to banish the image and the hokey 70s music from my mind. After that though, it was quite an excellent story that was steamy and addicting to read. I'd have to say I'd be interested in reading more from this author in the future.
A Candidate for the Kiss
This story just bordered on stupid. The angst in both character got annoying fast and I just wasn't into the whole bondage/dominance theme that the story had going. I'm not sure why I kept reading it, though since I do usually like vampire stories, I suppose it was because I was hoping this one would get better. Unfortunately, the secret agent vamp plot in this one was just ridiculous. I don't think I'll be looking for anything by this author in the future either.
