Pleasure Planet
Eros by Claire Thompson
Aria Loran has just paid a princely sum for a one-week vacation she'll never forget. Too busy and powerful for "real love," Aria has "rented" a mate who is guaranteed to be the man of her dreams. She doesn't bargain for the telepathic lover who will explore fantasies she has barely admitted, even to herself.
Forced to submit as his sex slave, Aria connects with fears and desires deep within her psyche. As the week draws to a close, Aria must face losing a man who can't be real and a love that most certainly is.
Tristan's Woman by Beverly Havlir
A half-breed and a pariah, exotic dancer Ava Summerlin dreams of leaving Pleasure Planet and finding a new home elsewhere.

But on Pleasure Planet, a half-breed is forbidden from having sexual encounters with anyone. But Tristan's lust will not be denied. He wants Ava and he will have her. But everything will change when he discovers her true identity.

Ummm. Two unrelated stories, both futuristic. IMO the first one was a series of sex scenes taped together - Sort of the worst elements of 70's romance. The plot was thin to non-existent although the hero and heroine were likable enough. The second story had a plot of somewhat greater strength and some action scenes beyond the sexual antics. You think the author could have done more with the characters with more pages. Or maybe not - the choice of names for the background bad guys 'Pagans' and the name of the heroes' world 'Kar'nal' makes you wonder...
Basically, good for what it is but don't spend a pile of money on it.

Be careful what you wish for - it might come true!
Not necessarily what you think you want but what you really need. A fascinating vacation with your deepest fantasies played out for your pleasure.
While the premise is exciting and seems like an incredible opportunity to have the experience of a lifetime, the recesses of our minds hold untold scenarios which we seldom acknowledge and perhaps should not ever have surface.
I absolutely loved the ending, I am such a sucker for romance.

In Pleasure Planet by Claire Thompson you become addicted to this new world that you are introduced to. To 'humans' it appears that they are using a magic of sorts to make the fantasies come true... and that's true for Aria. The main character in the story.
There is seriously enough action, adventure, romance and smexxi smut that I could see this being an X rated movie somehow. The setting is surreal but then again the author uses so many details that it does appear to be real and easy to imagine. The characters were both brought to life with such incredible back stories that you have no choice but to fall in love...
Oops! I said the bad word! The twist in this story will blow your mind and the HEA was really beautiful! this isn't my first book by Claire and it certainly won't be the last! I loved this story and give it five wonderful stars!
I received a gift copy of this book in exchange for an honest, non-reciprocal, review.

Anthology. A much better than average anthology. 4.5 stars
Eros by Claire Thomspon. Aria goes on vacation where they take into account her likes and dislikes and match up everything accordingly. She meets Ronan and they find out shortly after meeting each other that they care more for each other than they should. Now Ronan has to find his way back to her and she has to trust that he can. Very good story. First time reading this author too. ****
Tristan's Woman by Beverly Havlir. Ava is a half-breed on the same planet as noted above and as a half-breed, she's not allowed to get close to anyone on the planet. She can dance but that's it. Tristan is looking for his people that escaped their world for a time when war started. He may have found one but will the planet let her go? I liked the story the best although they were both really good.
