OMG ......these Twelve books drove me insane.
The Heart wrenching emotion, and Sado-Masachistic lust is just over powering every page from the start of the first book to the last. These are not short reads. Each book is 200 pages or more so this Anthology took me some time to get through , but i enjoyed almost all of these Dark Erotica books.
My favs have to be Consequences, Play with me ,Beneath the burn,The hostage bargain,Captive in the dark and Tears for Tess.
Hope there is a make me #2 soon .
Here are my short reviews for all Twelve juicy morsals.
CONSEQUENCES - ALEATHA ROMIG (***** STARS)
I LOVED this book and enjoyed the series so much i bought this anthology to find more reads just like it .(I reviewed this book already )
WANDERLUST - SKYE WARREN (*** STARS)
This was a OMG ...... what the F*ck are you doing kind of read.
A little bit Scary and a little bit crazy weird.

PLAY WITH ME - ELIZA GAYLE (**** STARS)
I wasn't into this story at first . It takes you a few pages before you get into it , but once you're there you're hooked.

TAKE ME , BREAK ME - CARI SILVERWOOD (***1/2 STARS)
I have nothing against this kind of erotic fantasy read , but it just seemed so ...ehhh Faked in the beginning.
Jodie wants to document on tape a Capture fantasy , but she put in place all the rules .Klause doesn't like the rules ,makes his own . the story gets better once he does . He makes her need him and then abruptly ends things . the ending is a complete mind f*ck.
TAKE YOUR PLEASURE -JASMINE HAYES (**STARS)
I enjoyed this storyline and charactors except the part where the Ex boyfriend Van got in on the action,during a played out Dom,sub scene.I was just not ready for it i guess although it made Natalie realize she really wanted Lincoln.
Natalie comes home one evening to catch her boyfriend Van in a situation with another female. She screws up at work and her boss Lincoln Takes Control .

BENEATH THE BURN - PAM GODWN (*****STARS)
I am in awe of the writing in this Dark ,emotional book.I loved the broken charcators of both Charlee and Jay.How they somehow overcome these Heartbreaking obsticles to find that they are the missing pieces to each others faulty puzzles.In the beginning i wasn't sure i would read on because of the horrible rape scenes between Roy and Charlee ,but i'm glad i did.It's not about the abuse , it's about finding your own way to overcome the Darkness inside yourself and putting your trust in others.
Charlee is on the run from Roy . who has used her since she was a teen.He wreaks havic and kills whomever comes between them until Nathan and Jay come up with a plan to save her .Charlee meanwhile does a little bit of saving Jay in the process.
COMFORT OBJECT - ANNABEL JOSEPH (***STARS)
The story was good ,but it was to much like Fifty Shades of Grey.
Hot actor hires a woman from a BDSM club to play his girlfriend in public, his sex slave in the bedroom but not fall in love with him. Guess what happens ???
(oh in this read there are multiple partners)
ENSLAVED- CLAIRE THOMPSON (** STARS)
I couldn't get past the fact that once the female charactor was taken hostage.She was put in a dog crate ,made to pee in a plastic bottle and drink from a hampster water bottle. That was taken it a bit to far for me .
Rae works for Sam .He finds out she stole alot of money from him,but instead of calling the cops .He decides to make her his Sex slave .
THE HOSTAGE BARGAIN - ANNIKA MARTIN ( ****STARS)
Loved this book, it was full of Action, suspense , hot guys named after gods, great sex scenes and just the right amount of emotion.

Can't wait to read book 2 Taken hostage by the hunky bank robber.
(Bank robbers who wear kilts...I'm totally there!!)
THE MAN WHO HOLDS THE WHIP - SHOSHANNA EVERS (**STARS)

CAPTIVE IN THE DARK - CJ ROBERTS (*****STARS)
These two tortured souls were an emotional rollercoaster ride of F*cked - up situations,but Me, my tissues and puffy tear- filled eyes enjoyed every word written .The stuff that happens to them is pure torture.
Caleb and Livvie or Master and Kitten are two broken people that have connected through horrible circumstances. Raw emotion, romance , suspence and action fill the pages of this book.
