She’ll get her mind out of the past and bask in the tropical sun, maybe even indulge in a summer fling. Within hours of arriving on the island, Chelsea encounters Ray, a gorgeous, fun-loving blond. She finds his smile infectious and surrenders to his charm. Chelsea is ready to abandon her inhibitions and spend the week in Ray’s arms -- until she meets Delano. Delano is intense and passionate. Chelsea is drawn to his dark mystique and challenged by his reserve. Finding herself torn between two men -- different as night and day -- how will Chelsea ever choose between them? Ray/Delano is a Dichotomy, a race of alien beings who sought refuge on Earth centuries ago.

Still, things like this just don't happen to Jamie. He's a journalist, an everyday kinda guy. Sure, he happens to be gay, but that doesn't make his life any more exciting -- unfortunately. The "Catch" is lying in wait in his bungalow on Chimera Island. A sorcerer called Niko is looking for a mate -- a "pet" to obey his every whim. But if he expects Jamie to come to him ready to be claimed, taken, and made into Niko's own possession, he’s seriously under evaluated his prey… Someone’s going to do some claiming, but it might not be Niko! "Fantastic paranormal romance, filled with magical places, compelling dreams and extraordinary characters. While filled with steamy sex, it also has a compelling plot everyone can learn from. For it to be true, love must be given freely. As always, Ms. Okati gives her readers a great story. One that I wouldn't miss for the world." -- Lisa Lambrecht, In The Library Reviews Stephanie Burke -- Taboo Talcor, First Son of the House of Aggression has just discovered something about himself that will rock the very foundations of his sexuality.

I have read both Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 in this AOEM series and I really enjoyed the stories. They all tie to this island where they help people find their perfect mate whether they are from human or not. I would suggest being open minded when reading these hot stories but I found them all fun and sexy which is a great combination IMHO. I have Vol. 3 waiting on my shelf.
This is the second book in the Agency of Extraordinary Mates anthologies. I really enjoyed this book, but I honestly didn't like it as well at the first book. I really want to rate it at 3.5 stars. Some of the characters were more cookie-cutter to me, and a couple of the stories were not as developed, but it was a nice, quick read. The backstory is Paranormal beings are seeking mates. They seek out mates by sponsoring possible matches. There are very sexually explicit situtation, including m/m interplay. If you are offended by this and dirty words, this book is not for you.
Themed multi author anthology. I liked the first story - Dichotomy - It had an 'extraordinary mate' that was [I thought] truly original. The second story was well written but I spent a lot of time wanting to smack the 'hero'. Third had a cute twist - in a culture where he is SUPPOSED to be gay, hero is accused of being [horrors!] straight.
All three of these extraordinary mates head off to Chimera Island - mating ground for the strange and the not so strange.
This is volume 2 - there appear to be 3 volumes. Light reads.
I don't think this book was as good as the first one, but it was okay. There were three stories in the book. The first story was about twins that find one mate. The second one was a man/man story. The third story was about two beings that were not sure about their sexual orientation.
