About the author

When taking the Myers-Briggs personality test in high school, Kimberly was rated as an INFJ (Introverted-Intuitive-Feeling-Judging). This result sent her into a panic, because there were no career paths recommended for the type. Fortunately, it turned out to be well-suited to a writing career. Since receiving that dismal outlook, Kimberly has become an award-winning author of romance and erotica. She has written for seven publishing houses, both domestic and international, and has recently focused her efforts on the exciting world of self-publishing. When not writing, she enjoys movies, sports, traveling, music, and sunshine. In her mind, a beach, some rock 'n' roll, and a good book make for a perfect day.

Huh. Who knew? I enjoyed reading "Sultry Summer Fun", a five-author anthology from Ellora's Cave. Granted I didn't LOVE every story, but there weren't really any I hated either.

"Hypnotica" by Kimberly Dean was my favorite of the five. A shy woman attracted to a quiet but hunky man is 'unleashed' during a hypnotist show on a cruise. Fun, funny, and way hot!

"Tandem" by Elizabeth Donald had some hot sex, but also two strangers falling in love over a weekend...eh, maybe.

"Off the Deep End" by Anna J. Evans was smoking hot and involves a sexy, well-hung merman! Need I say more?

Eve Jameson's "Saint JIllian's Rebel" is a reunion love story with a sizzling bad-boy hero. Yummy.

Mary Winter rounds out the list with "Water Lust" which has a very esoteric, metaphysical vibe.

Five authors, five short stories, each just the right length for a quick read before bed. Not a keeper for me, but still enjoyable.

Good read. Multi-author themed anthology of having fun in the sun. Definitely not a great vacation read - these folks are probably having far more fun that you are! Save it for winter when you can dream...


"Hypnotica" by Kimberly Dean - just a shy girl on a cruise with the family until 'The Erotic Hypnotist' releases her inner vixen.

"Tandem" by Elizabeth Donald Two strangers fall in love while backpacking.

"Off the Deep End" by Anna J. Evans A trip to a San Diego resort turns very hot when the heroine is rescued from the ocean by a hunky guy - who turns out to be a merman not a SEAL...

Eve Jameson's "Saint JIllian's Rebel" The ultimate high school reunion love story, complete with the scheming bitch and old misunderstandings.

Mary Winter "Water Lust" Dream guy made real...

Nothing special to me. Was okay, didn't really keep my interest, put it in paperbackswap. Is definitely not a a book I will read again. Just not my flavor.
