I received an ARC of this book in exchange for this honest review.

I loved how all 4 books took place in New Orleans & Madame Ysabeau makes an appearance in all of them!

1. Share Me by Julia Kent- I LOVE Julia Kent's writing & she certainly didn't disappoint me. She always makes you fall for her characters & want more. And that's what she did with Miki, Emma, & David. It was a hot, sexy book filled with fun friends & great sayings: What happens in New Orleans, stays in New Orleans!

2. Shake Me by Sara Fawkes- is about a Cassidy, who's a good girl & resident bad boy Travis. Cassidy thinks she has her life all figured out until a road trip to New Orelans makes her see the light. Go along on this ride with the virgin Cassidy & Travis & you'll see how unbelievable HOT these two are for each other.

3. Show Me by Cathryn Fox- Eva's on Spring Break with her friends. She's a nerdy physics student who gets her brothers best friend, Luke to help her become hot & land a guy. In the process Eva & Luke fall for each other. Bring on the SEX!

4. Shock Me by Lauren Hawkeye- The sex scenes in this book are HOT! Callie thinks she's in love either best friend Ryder, but at a masked party she meets Liam. And the sparks fly between them. You'll have to read this to find out what the story is with Callie, Ryder, & Liam!!

Who says spring flings can't last. In Some Beach by Harloe Rae spring in Cancun is the place for letting down your hair and doing something new. . . a one night stand. At least that's the plan. This author finds a way for this short to be filled with all kinds of goodies and a twist at the end. Fun, sexy and oh so bad insta-love.

Four fire starters!

Each book in this collection will have you squirming with anticipation and reaching for ice water!

All four tales are set in New Orleans during Spring Break and have an ominous reading by a psychic named Madame Yasbeau.

Each have fun of NOLA as a backdrop and a catalyst for some sexy interludes.

You will enjoy each one!

*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for this honest review*

Spring Fling is a fun and wild ride – just like Spring Break should be!

There is a real art to presenting either a good anthology or a quality novella. To achieve both is even more challenging – but Avon Impulse most certainly achieved that here. This anthology presents four new adult novellas centered on New Orleans at Spring Break. Each installment is developed well and provides hot, instant interest in the main characters, while still giving the fun-size of a novella. The way each story has a consistent sweet thread makes it even more delightful and therein brings the joy of a great anthology. Another important part of anthology is that I introduce you to authors you didn’t know before. And, boy, does this do that! I came for Julia Kent, but I stayed for the other three great authors.

I have been very impressed with how Avon Impulse has embraced the fun and adventurous side of this new generation of romance writers and readers. Keeping with that trend, there's nothing "traditional" about this anthology, except in the best ways possible – by playing off some favorite classic plots and bringing them each a new, sexy, and modern twist. Each novella is great and I was very impressed overall. Below is my review of each piece:

Share me – 5 Stars - It's about time a traditional publisher recognized the genius that is Julia Kent. She's been rocking readers' worlds for a while now and seeing her included in this Avon Impulse anthology is a brilliant move by them indeed. I love all that she writes, but Ms. Kent has a special gift for creating layered, unique, and sexy new adult stories that stick with you long after they're done. Share Me is no exception! This novella is hot, hot, hot, but also thoughtful and intriguing in the best way.

Emma is complex and a bit unlikeable at first, but her unfair dumping at the hands of a guy she gave too much of her life to, and her ensuing path of self discover with not one, but two, mysterious international men, is fabulous. My only complaint is not really one at all – I need more! I am sending a silent plea now to beg Ms. Kent to keep this story going – while still bringing me all the other books in her other series that I am desperately panting for from her.

Shake Me – 4 Stars - This is just the sweetest story, with sexual tension and descriptive writing to keep you up all night. I have a deep love of stories of boys with secret crushes on the girl next door, and, oh my, does Travis bring that. Light but fun and very well written, I enjoyed this, as well.

Show Me – 5 Stars - I am obsessed with the classic Pygmalion/My Fair Lady trope. You tell me someone is grooming another character for love or sex and I am there! Yet Show Me is so much more than that. Dual POV is used to perfection to tweak this story in that that "artist" was in love with his "creation" all along. I am looking forward to finding some time to reread this one, because I love it.

Shock me – 4 Stars – W hat New Orleans based anthology would be complete without some masks and wild passion in the French Quarter? Callie has convinced herself she loves her best friend Ryder and will finally take matters into her own "good girl" hands behind the comfort of a mask. She's not prepared for Ryder's devastatingly hot bad-boy brother, Liam, and trust me, he's not ready for her either. Loads of fun, if light on conflict and angst, I still adored it.

Spring Fling is an anthology of 4 sexy shorts written by authors Julia Kent, Sara Fawkes, Cathryn Fox and Lauren Hawkeye. Although I am not a huge fan of the new adult genre, I found each story to be fun, spicy and well written. Also, each story shares one common character, local fortune teller Madame Ysabeau, whose readings go beyond clairvoyance.

Read one or read them all, you'll be glad you did.

1. Share Me by Julia Kent: Three weeks ago Emma was engaged to the only man she ever slept with, Ryan, her high school and college boyfriend. He broke their engagement because he found Emma's controlled, planned and restrained way of life boring. At one time Emma was adventurous and fun, but over time she changed in order to be the woman she thought Ryan wanted.

Emma has big plans for herself in New Orleans, the main one being is to find a hot guy and get laid. She lives her dream by meeting not one, but two gorgeous men and as a result, has the best sex of her life. Emma finds her former self and through the use of social media, has Ryan begging to get back together.

This story is a lot of fun. Groups of people getting together to have a good time because you only live once. What happens in New Orleans, stays in New Orleans.

2. Shake Me by Sara Fawkes: Cassidy's childhood was full of adventure and fun, until her mother died. Then she morphed into what her mother would have wanted her to be, a conservative good girl that never stirred the pot. However, after years of living the life of the girl next door, she finally shakes things up with Travis, her former childhood cohort in crime.

From the moment Travis saw Cassidy, he was in love with her. Now years later he has the chance to make her his during Spring Break in New Orleans. Travis sees Bourbon Street through Cassidy's virgin eyes and turns her onto the sights, sounds and craziness of the area.

3. Show Me by Cathryn Fox: A hot seductive read about Eva, a nerdy physics student and Luke, her brother's best friend who is graduating college this year. Eva and Luke have been friends for years and overtime, have developed feelings for each other. Eva never pursued Luke because she felt she was too nerdy and unattractive for a guy as hot as he is. Luke never pursued Eva because of the best friends' code of honor.

Eva is in New Orleans to spend time with her friends, transform into a seductress and lose her virginity. Since Luke knows what men like, Eva asks him to help her change from nerdy girl to normal flirty girl. Luke reluctantly agrees to ensure she does not get hurt. Spending so much time together only exacerbates their lust and the rest as they say is history.

4. Shock Me by Lauren Hawkeye: Callie and Ryder are best friends, however, Callie's feelings go a lot deeper, or so she thinks. She plans to shed her good girl persona, pull up her big girl pants and seduce Ryder during Spring Break in the Big Easy. Wearing a mask gives Callie power over her insecurities as she actually gets Ryder into bed. She has no clue that she is in bed with Liam, Ryder's older brother.

Callie and Liam have unbelievable chemistry. So much so that Callie realizes that her feelings for Ryder may not be entirely true. Liam brings out Callie's kinky side, and Callie is beside herself with pleasure. Apparently, Liam is the one for her.

Overall, four great short stories!

Share Me by Julia Kent
Emma Barton has just been dumped—for being boring. Now she's letting loose and reclaiming her inner bad girl with not one, but two sexy strangers! Double the pleasure means double the fun, right?

Review:

I was gifted this anthology in exchange for an honest review. It was made very clear that this was not a final copy, although I really did not see any major errors that would need to be corrected. I was pulled in from the very beginning with Emma, being dumped by her high school sweetheart. It is a very relate-able story about losing that love and the emotions that rake through you. I loved the scenes in this book and how they flowed so seamlessly. I am excited to read more about Emma, Mika and David! Great Read, 5 Fangs.

Shake Me by Sara Fawkes
Determined to forget her cheating boyfriend, Cassidy Dupre agrees to a night out with playboy Travis Dean. But when she finds herself wanting more than she bargained for, this evening could spell desire … or disaster!

Review:

Oh my goodness! I adored this story. I was able to put myself right into Cassidy's shoes, going through a similar situation in my life. It was so well written, I loved that Travis had this bad guy motif going on and ended up being this Amazing guy who would steal the heart of any woman. Sara managed to bring this story start to finish with great tying elements and made it an amazing short read. Kudos! Five fangs.


Show Me by Cathryn Fox
Eva Parker wants a lesson in seduction … from her brother's best friend. When teaching becomes tension, will they be able to keep it professional? Or will friends forever become something much hotter?

Review:

Eva is the token nerd girl, soliciting the help of her brother's best friend (whom she secretly adores) to help her become the woman every man fantasizes about. This book was sexy, hot and unpredictable. My heart sped up in spots just waiting for the tension to be relieved. HOT HOT HOT read. I give this 5 fangs.

Shock Me by Lauren Hawkeye
Callie Gilmore is determined to break out of the friend zone with Ryder Hawkins. Donning a mask and making her move seems easy, but when fate throws a curveball, Callie must choose: turn and run … or embrace the night.

Review:

Callie is determined to seduce her best friend Ryder. She thinks that the perfectly laid plan will solve all her problems, donning a mask will erase every inhibition she has. What happens with the best laid plans? They usually don't turn out at all as you expect. Life happens. Callie is tossed this "curveball" and has to decide on figuring out who she is vs who everyone thinks she is. This book is so enticing, has the perfect level of dom and sub in it without being overpowering. Amazing short story. 5 Fangs.

Set in New Orleans in middle of Mardi Gras, we follow the stories of four young women. Emma Barton doesn't usually do "pleasure" trips. Her vacations mostly consist of charity work. After spending years with her high school boyfriend turned fiance, she finds herself single. He said she was "boring". Well, how boring is it to find two hot guys to spend the week with in New Orleans? Cassidy Dupre used to be good friends with Travis Dean until her mom died. She tried to become the young woman her mom would have liked, shunning Travis in the process. Travis tortures and teases her all through high school but when he sheds light on her cheating boyfriend they run to New Orleans to find him, together. Travis and Cassidy finally get what they both really need. Eva Parker is a self proclaimed geek and is ready to hand over her "V" card!! She has had a crush on her brothers best friend for as long as she can remember. She knows she can't have him but decides to trust him to show her how to be attractive to other men. He doesn't want her to be with other men, he certainly doesn't want some other guy getting her "V" card! Then there's Callie Gilmore. She is best friends with Ryder Hawkins. She doesn't want to be just friends and decides that New Orleans is the perfect opportunity to seduce him. At the masked ball she leads him back to his room, and just before she gets what she wants someone bursts through the door. It's Ryder at the door, with another woman. Which means the man it the bed is NOT Ryder! Turns out, its his brother. Callie has a decision to make.

All of these stories are hot! The collaboration between the authors was fantastic. There is one common thread throughout the stories that I will leave you to find for yourself. I would describe this book as watching a movie from four different perspectives. Its all the same time frame, setting, etc. We just get to experience Mardi Gras through four sets of eyes. The only thing that would have made it better would be if somehow the characters from the different stories would have had cameo appearances in the other books to tie them together a bit further. I could see how that would be a challenge and perhaps the authors may not have wanted to write about someone else's characters.

This is not a typical boxed set of somewhat similar themed stories. These authors worked together to create a seamlessly flowing anthology that takes you right to Bourbon Street. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a collection of mid length steamy reads!

I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Spring Fling In an Amazingly HOT set of books!! If only my College Spring Breaks went this well! Julia Kent, Sara Fawkes, Lauren Hawkeye and Cathryn Fox do not disappoint in this Anthology sure to make your heart roller coaster!

Share Me by Julia Kent.. What better way to get back at your ex-fiance, who called you a control freak, then to hook up with not 1 but 2 very hot and attractive guys? When he's posting pictures of himself with a ton of naked girls how do your friends talk you into one upping him? How about making it look like your getting married to 2 hot guys on Facebook? The adventure is anything but controlled!'

Shake Me by Sara Fawkes... What do you do when your old best friend.. now worst enemy comes up to you and tells you that his sister has run off with your boy friend? Join forces and go after them of course.. However, what happens from there is anything but what is expected as they learn that true love as kids can stand the tests of time..

Show Me by Cathryn Fox... A Eva's on a mission to break of the box everyone has put her in. The nerdy girl. She's had a thing for her brothers best friend Luke and since he's on this trip too she asks him to help her transform herself.. since he knows what guys like. As he realizes he's not enjoying other guys giving her the attention he wants to give her.. things go from Nerdy to hotter then Fire in a flash.


Shock Me by Lauren Hawkeye... A case of Mistaken Identity.. in a good way. Callie's had a crush on her best friend and decides it's time to act. What better time then a masked party. When she hears him talking in her ear seductively she's ready to head back to his room and see where the night takes her. Only her best friend Ryder shows up with a girl in tow.. so who is this masked man that looks like him...???? None other then his older brother. After running and some self doubt things become amazing and hotter then hot for Liam and Callie.

My Thoughts:

The Spring Fling Anthology by Julia Kent, Sara Fawkes, Cathryn Fox, and Lauren Hawkeye was outstanding. All four stories instantly pulled me in and hooked me! These authors sure know how to keep a reader's attention. None of the stories felt rushed or cut short. They all had a great plot, and engaging main characters. These stories were sexy, swoon-worthy, romantic, and smoking' hot!!! They were all tied together by a Spring Break spent in New Orleans that was used as a getaway to make a change in their lives! All of these characters were college aged, going through the transformation from young adult to an adult, and all dealt with exploring new things, and taking chances!

A common thread in all of the stories was a wise fortune teller, Madame Ysabeau. Some of our main characters were non-believers in what she had to say, but Madame Ysabeau was never wrong. The setting of New Orleans, during Mardi Gras, Spring Break was easy to visualize. All of the authors gave me a great sense of place, with the beautiful and old buildings, music, parades, crowds of people, clubs, and party atmosphere. All of these stories were very erotic and explicit in nature.

If you are looking for a great spring break anthology, with the amazing setting of New Orleans during Madi Gras, along with romance, sex appeal, fun, and laughter, this is the anthology to try out. This anthology contained the very first stories that I read by Julia Kent, Sara Fawkes, Cathryn Fox, and Lauren Hawkeye. Boy have I been missing out! I will be adding books by these authors to my TBR List, and this sampling has lead to a treasure chest of stories that I cannot wait to devour. I give this Spring Fling Anthology 4.5 Phenomenal, Engaging, Addicting, and Smokin' Hot Stars!!!

I loved this anthology! These four authors are great. I was already a fan of Julia Kent and Sara Fawkes, so this was a must read for me. I loved the characters created by both and I really hope to see more of them in possibly some upcoming novels. Julia gave us Emma who'd been dumped by an unappreciative fiance. That was probably the best thing that could have happened for her as she found two men to help her pick up the pieces of her broken heart. I so want more of this story to see if Emma, Miki, and David take things any further. I sooo see a future for them. Sara gave us Cassidy, the faithful and good girl in a committed relationship. Too bad her boyfriend Chad didn't get the memo. But Travis had no problems helping Cassidy get over her bruised heart. I loved Cassidy and Travis, their story was both sweet and sultry. Cathryn Fox was a new author for me, but I enjoyed her story just as much. Eva's character was great. She's shy, smart, nerdy, and a bit awkward but has no idea that she's also beautiful. She may not see her own beauty but her brother's best friend Luke sure does. When things heat up between these two, it's gets explosive. Lauren Hawkeye was also a new author for me but I'm looking forward to reading more of her work as well. What does a girl do when she's determined to finally go for who she wants? Especially if who she wants may not want her? Take a chance, that's what. And it's exactly what Callie decided to do and I think it was thing she could have done. I highly recommend this anthology to others. These stories are hot, sensual, emotional, and absolutely singe the pages.

Spring Fling is Hot...Hot...HOT!

Awesome book to read on your Spring Break, Lunch Break... or on any break. All four of these authors are established in the romance field. If you don't have them on your must read list you don't know what you are missing.

Julia Kent writes some of my favorite serials ever. While this story is a stand alone, it is extremely creative and steamy. In Share Me we will find out if it is too little (in more than one way), too late for Emma's Ex-boyfriend.

In Fawkes' Shake Me, Cassidy finds the best way to get over one boyfriend...is to get a better one. In the process, she finds that sometimes you get more than you could have ever asked for.

Fox's Show Me brings a new view of "the brother's best friend." Eva is set on seduction, her brother's best friend is willing to teach her. Will Eva get what she wants or will she get the only man she's ever wanted?

Lauren Hawkeye's Shock Me certainly holds up to it's title. When Callie sets out to seduce her best (guy) friend Ryder she ends up with a shocking case of mistaken identity at a masked party. Callie learns that sometimes you don't get what you want...but you get what you need.

Put all four of these stories together, you get an amazing read that keeps your eyes glued to the page and your temperature rising. Don't miss out on this excellent set.

Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a great collection of 4 short stories some by authors I have read previous works and some where these stories were my first reading. I enjoyed the book and was completely drawn in to each story and was sorry to see each end. I loved that all took place in New Orleans. This book features one of my favorite authors, Julia Kent, and for her story alone it is worth purchasing the book.
Julia Kent"s - Share Me - Emma goes to New Orleans with a group of friends to forget that her well planned life went up in smoke when Ryan breaks up with her telling her she is boring and too predicable! Well lets just say that Emma is no longer predicable! She finds "comfort" in Miki and David. Her friends respond to Ryan's use of social media to show her former fiance that two can play his game! Lets me say that I could have read more of Emma's story, I wanted to find out what happened after Spring Break was over and she returned to the "real world". This in my opinion could be another full length book! I consider myself very lucky to have been given a copy of this book by Julia Kent to read.

The other stories were written by Sara Fawkes, Catherine Fox and Lauren Hawkeye, these stories were first's for me by these authors. I did enjoy them would read more written by them. Overall a great collection and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good hot, sexy read with some drama thrown in! The men aren't too shabby either!

Spring Fling is set in New Orleans. Wanna know what excites me about that? I am jumping on a plane in 7 short weeks (EEEEEEEEP!) and making my way from Australia to N’awlins. I said to my blog partner after reading this, I am expecting a lot of hotties, bare breasts, crowds of partiers and Madame Ysabeau to pop out and direct me to my fortune.

Each of these four stories had me hook line and sinker. It surprised me that I didn’t feel like they were too short. They each had great writing, fun and honest characters, a setting I could visualize from the descriptions, smoking hot sex and super swoonworthy men. What more could you ask for? Did I say super hot sex? Holy Shitballs people. I needed relief!

The leading ladies in each of these stories are college students setting out to break the molds they, or someone else, had set for them. They are ready to find the woman they are meant to be. Add in some common threads Madame Ysabeau, the beautiful old buildings, the atmosphere, fun and music, the humor and hot hot hot sex (have I said that yet?) and you are set to be transported to New Orleans for Spring Break. Brace yourself!

Well done to these 4 authors who are completely new to me, but who have been added to my new goodreads list of authors to check out. I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology and would absolutely recommend it.

3.5 Cocktails

This was definitely a story of girls gone wild. Authors Julia Kent, Sara Fawkes, Cathryn Fox and Lauren Hawkeye give us for different stories of Spring Break madness in New Orleans. In each story, the heroine has to learn to embrace her inner bad girl and discover that it can be fun to be a little bad, but not loose who you are.

Each story is fun and very hot, with great heroes for the heroine. Whether it's two guys in New Orleans for work who teach a girl that she's not a "fat, egotistical bitch", a girl's childhood best friend/adult enemy who shows her there's more out there than Mr. Wonderful, to a girl's brother's best friend who teaches her it's easy to love her just the way she is and finally to the brother of a girl's best friend, proving his bad boy self is just who she needs. Each hero rocks the girl's world in a matter of a few days and proves that sometimes a spring fling is just what you need.

If you're looking for something quick and fun to read, definitely pick this one up.

Each novella in this collection centers around a different group of characters on Spring Break all flawless tied together by the mysterious and very wise fortune teller Madame Ysabeau.. what is a New Orelans without a little magic.. right? !

I received an advanced copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review. I have to say, I was not disappointed. One of my very favorite authors, Julia Kent is featured in the book with her novella “Share Me”. Let me tell you, in my opinion, the book is worth it for her story alone. She has such wonderful character development and has a way of drawing you into the story almost from word one. You’ve also got three other very talented writers bringing you three more excellent novellas. I wasn’t familiar with the other writers before this book, but after reading it, I am definitely a fan of each of them now.

With New Orleans Mardi Gras as a backdrop, these stories take you on four incredible journeys that will have you hanging on every word and rooting for that happy ending every time. These stories are all intriguing, endearing, sexy, and beyond HOT! You can’t go wrong with this one! Do yourself a favor and read it!

[Erica · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clearly I have been spending my spring breaks the wrong way. And Spring Fling definitely has fed my desire to go to New Orleans.

The happenings of these four novellas is sexy times personified, geez louise! They are filled with fantastic characters and I just loved each story.

All the stories left me feeling like they weren't quite complete - there was definitely some tag lines at the end that made me think there was going to be more, then there wasn't. So now I can sit in my land of wishful thinking and hope that they all continue the stories. Because that'd be pretty brilliant.

I have fallen so hard for all of these stories. All four distinctly different characters set in New Orleans, with the same character of Madame O, a fortune teller linking them together. It was a really fun way to escape for a few hours. Totally in love.

[Fiona Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a collection of 4 short stories with a common link, spring break.
This is a chance for college kids in the U.S. to head off for a break from life, studying, and at times relationship problems.

The stories in this anthology concentrate on 4 different characters who end up in New Orleans during spring break.

I loved each of the stories, but my favourite would have to be Shake Me by Sara Fawkes. Mind you, the scenes in Share Me by Julia Kent were very hot.

I also loved the fact that there was another common link throughout the stories. Madame Ysabeau is a fortune teller, and she is linked to the characters we meet throughout the book. I like the relationship especially in Shake Me.

A good collection of short stories, by some amazing authors.

[Laura Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a hot collection of stories.

Julia Kent does it again. She creates great character's and story lines that you want to keep going.
Sara Fawkes character Cassidy is so much fun and the difference between her and Travis is perfect. How their trips unfolds is an adventure.
Cathryn Fox created one fun self fulfilment between Eva the young sister and Luke the older brother best friend that I have read in a long time. You will love how Eva turns the tables on Luke.
Lauren Hawkeye created a fun mistaken identity during spring break into one hot revaluation. Sallie and Liam are so opposites that they are perfect for each other.

[Jessica Holton · Rating 5 out of 5]

I gave this book & the entire series 5 stars because I absolutely love Julia Kent's sense of humor along with her style of sexy writing. I can't wait for this series to be a box set and I just love every bit of her writing.You'll be rolling on the floor laughing and then crying with her characters within pages. I don't think that she can ever write a bad book and I will continue to own every single book she writes as long as she keeps them coming. :)

All is have to say is WOW..every one of these books were great. my favorite was Share Me by Julia Kent..love all her work but these other authors some of whom I have never read any of there stuff before were excellent too. Definitely worth the price of 1.99 for 4 full novels.

Loved this anthology. All of the authors did a great job. All of the stories take place in New Orleans. I am a huge Julia Kent fan and could see this story expanding into a new series. This is a book I will be rereading several times.

I had purchase this book so I could read Julia Kent part of the book, not sure if I would take the time and read the other authors. Well i did read the other 3 authors and fell in love with them. Looking forward in reading more of there books. Well worth time to read is book.

Fun!

Four fun novels in one collection!

Join in with the sexy sinful experience of Spring Break at Mardi Gras. Four women let loose in the Big Easy and find love and lust.

Wonderful stories and quick easy reads.

It was a great short by Julia Kent. Hopefully we will see more about Emma, Miki, and David.

3.5 stars. Loved most of the stories. The Share Me one I didn't really feel a connection to but all others were very good.
