Let me start by saying I am a fan of most of the authors in the anthology and while I may not have read the others book I was aware of who they are and will be looking up their books now. lol.

I guess that means I LOVED THIS ANTHOLOGY!

Dark Surrender by Rachel Firasek

Typically I dont like Dom/Sub stories, they just arent my cup of tea but I really loved how this story was more about them rather than their lifestyle. The depth of emotion was amazing you felt each of their turmoil and pain. I have heard of Subspace but this is the first to make it understood to me. 5/5

Claimed by the Blade by Mina Carter
I loved this short! A sexy knife thrower and his lady! I loved that age plays no part in true love
5/5

Ring of Fire by Lacey Wolfe
I enjoyed this story but I was lost on why Ramone felt he had to prove who he was to the cirus.
4/5

Unmasking Her Dom by Jennifer James
This story was longer than the others but it was such a compelling story that I didnt mind. I loved the Sub who stood up for what she wanted. Wonderful story! 5/5

The Bratty Lioness Tamer by April Angel
Start with a F/F and then add in a long lost M. I love a good menage.
5/5

Sweet & Sticky by Sabrina Garie
I really enjoyed that this story was set in the audience and not necessarily part of the show. The characters were believable and Hot. The sex was WOW
5/5

Twice the Pleasure by Georgina DeBurca
As the bindings unravel, two brothers race to save the woman who has captured their hearts. To be honest, I didnt finish the story I was turned off on the two male M/C being brothers.
DNF

With the Greatest of Ease by Anne Lange
I enjoyed this story but would have liked it better if it was a m/f/m the whole way through. I felt bad for the sole male left out at the end.
4/5

I highly recommend this anthology. It has something to please everyone.

Whoo hoo!!! This is one HOT, SWEATY, SEXY set of stories! I'm dying! It was fantastic. Sure, there were 1 or 2 that I didn't really get into, but the rest, I couldn't put this book down! I'll never be able to look at a circus the same way!

I received a copy of this story for an honest review for Amber's Reading Room. Pictures used as part of this review are used for fun and do not belong to me.

CAUTION – If you are not a fan of hotness in large doses you may want to avoid The Sin Circus. One of the sexiest anthologies I’ve ever read, The Sin Circus features a grown-ups only big top where the wild and wanton are put on display nightly. Comprised of eight unique stories, The Sin Circus serves up a little something for everyone. Steamy but still kind of sweet stories – check. M/F/M and F/M/F ménage a trois – check. Light and heavy BDSM – check. Public orgies – super check. The stories are easy reads, full of quick bursts of excitement. The breakdown:

Ring of Fire by Lacey Wolfe – The fierce new ringmaster of The Sin Circus must decide if he’s strong enough to control the crazy troupe while giving his heart to its beautiful fire dancer.

Greatest of Ease by Anne Lange – Nicco gave up the circus life, as well as his childhood love Lucia, to pursue a career in law. After an injury side-lines his brother, Nicco is called home to fill in on the trapeze for The Sin Circus. A wild night with Lucia and her new man has Nicco questioning if walking away a second time is possible.

Dark Surrender by Rachel Firasek – Ivy D. Suede is the dark Mistress of The Sin Circus. When life throws her a curveball, Ivy’s frustrations cause her to cross a line with her loyal and loving Submissive that she may not be able to come back from.

Twice the Pleasure by Georgina DeBurca – A cheating boyfriend and a terrifying fall leave one star of The Sin Circus doubting her worth. It’s up to her handsome twin dance partners to prove that to them, she’s everything.

Claimed by the Blade by Mina Carter – Dani has spent so much time saving the knife throwing act her bastard ex left in shambles, she never noticed his gangly young protégé grew into a stunningly sexy man. Can they move their passionate act from the stage to the bedroom?

The Bratty Lioness Tamer by Milly Taiden – Gabby and her love Crystal perform as human lionesses for The Sin Circus. As much fun as they have together, they need a Master to truly be complete. When a face from the past shows up in the ring, the lionesses and the audience are in for a performance to remember.

Sweet and Sticky by Sabrina Garie – A struggling author earning extra money as a concession girl and a down-on-his-luck literary agent decide to put on their own show in the empty bleachers of The Sin Circus.

Unmasking Her Dom by Jennifer James – The King Harlequin is a powerful Dom whose confidence performing in The Sin Circus hides some terrible secrets. Afraid of giving too much of himself to his Submissive, he decides to send her away but she’s not going without a fight. She’s willing to invoke his rage to take their relationship to the next level.

In the world of anthologies, The Sin Circus is pretty hard to beat. Overall the stories are well written and cohesive. Though each story has its own flavor, the eight separate pieces flow together almost seamlessly. My personal favorites were Greatest of Ease and Claimed by the Blade. Fun and saucy, those two caught my attention.

Do yourself a favor and pick up The Sin Circus, it's a worthy walk on the wild side.

Happy reading.

Wonderful stories by great authors make for a book as hot as the sun. Although I do like BDSM stories this book doesn't focus on that aspect. These stories focus more on the people involved. The characters show people who work in a fantasy atmosphere as being real by showing how life runs away with us from time to time. These people love and have problems like anyone else. Though the characters could be anyone, there is still all the fantasy of the circus atmosphere we loved as children but in a very adult fashion.

"In Ring of Fire" Lacey Wolfe gives us a bit of mystery and misdirection in a sexy whodunit where you don't know who to trust and trusting the wrong person in this dangerous act could be deadly.

Anne Lange gives us a story with an ending as sweet as cotton candy with an emotional situation that has the potential to be just as sticky in "With the Greatest of Ease".

In "Dark Surrender", Rachel Firasek gives us a hardcore look at how things can go disastrously wrong yet still turn out well.

Georgina DeBurca gives us double the hotness with twins in "Twice the Pleasure". They are scorching!

Mina Carter's "Claimed by the Blade" shows how an irresistible attraction can blindside a person when she isn't paying attention.

"The Bratty Lioness Tamer" by Milly Taiden is a sexy menage that didn't appeal to me as much as some of the others but was still a bit steamy.

"Sweet and Sticky" by Sabrina Garie is a sweet story with some interesting if sticky situations. One character is as appealing as gum on your shoe but the primary characters made me think twice about decisions made in haste.

"Unmasking Her Dom" by Jennifer James is amazingly hot! I wanted to cry for her characters and more than once found myself holding my breath due to the dynamic between Maggie and Ronin. I love that the story shows a masculine character afraid of being judged on his body as opposed to a woman having those insecurities. This story is the perfect final act of this performance.

All in all a wonderful book full of incredible stories.

The Sin Circus was a titillating and tempting read. An anthology of short stories depicting different characters in the circus. Some slightly creepier, but always mesmerizing tales captured my interest and kept me reading. Intriguing characters, and panty drenching action will keep you reading.

I think I would really enjoy a circus of this caliber visiting to entertain me. The Sin Circus was full of characters bursting bigger than life. An erotic peak at life behind the scenes of illicit entertainment, purely here for your reading pleasure.

The Sin Circus is a collection of eight stories by eight different authors, all featured around The Sin Circus which is a risque circus for adults only. All stories are new and original to this boxed set.

I enjoyed all the stories, some more then others, but I definitely thought it was one of the best boxed sets I've read in awhile.

My personal favorite was Claimed by the Blade by Mina Carter. The story centered around a hot young man, an older woman, and knives. What could be better than that ;-).

I also really enjoyed The Bratty Lioness Tamer by April Angel. F/F/M stories aren't that common so I enjoyed the story's uniqueness. Plus I might have a thing for the name Leo, so hot in the story.

Dark Surrender by Rachel Firasek was also extremely good. The story centered around an older female domme and her younger sub. The domme is dealing with some unexpected news and takes it out on her sub.

All of the other stories are really good too, definitely makes me want to check out more works by the other authors. Definitely recommend!

I want to go to The Sin Circus!

Steamy collection of short erotic stories. You get a little bit of everything, menage, BDSM, F/F, F/M/F. It reminded me a little of the Zumanity show in Vegas, but a lot sexier. I couldn't put it down once I started it.

I wasn't familiar with most of the authors, but I have now added some of their books to my TBR.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Adri's Review:

Thank you to Rachel Firasek and all the other ladies who provided us with an ARC for this story so we could bring you this review.

This anthology makes me want to run away to the circus... (as I asked Rachel Firasek and Lacey Wolfe where the next stop for The Sin Circus was going to be). It's hot and sexy and has a little something for every kind of reader. Now it's no secret that my favorite stories are BDSM so of course those are the ones that stuck out to me the most. But there is also second chance loves, secretly loved you always loves and a bit of mystery and adventure. Even though none of the stories are really linked together, there is in a few the reappearance of some characters in the other stories. The last one of the group having brought back most of the others.

This is also an anthology that you won't even realize you finished reading until the whole thing is done. It was such a quick read most people should be able to read it in one weekend afternoon. Which to me makes a great way to relax.

My only complaint about this anthology is that the stories weren't longer. I so wanted more of everything.

Happy Reading... Adri

Erin's Review

Never before have I wanted to run away to the circus so bad in my life! These stories are panty melting HOT! There is a bit of everything in this anthology, BDSM, menage, not-so unrequited love, mystery and second chances. Like Adri, I LOVE the BDSM world so those stories hit a spot with me, a good spot *wink* The menage stories are smoking! You will not walk away from these stories unfulfilled, there truly is something for everyone.
There are some characters that make appearances in other stories, but each story is a stand alone. At the time I was reading this the circus was actually in town, and all I kept think was, "Damn, I wish it were the Sin Circus instead!"
After you read this, you will want to go under the big top, or on the table....the couch...the bed....the floor............

Enjoy your trip to the circus!

This was a fun anthology full of stories that varied from strong BDSM to mild and mostly love scenes to emotional plots (of course also with love scenes). I liked some while others didn’t thrill me much, but most of the shorts included in this book were very entertaining.

Lacey Wolfe’s Ring of Fire was predictable and I didn’t always like the characters, but I appreciated the ending and setup of the ringmaster. Anne Lange’s With the Greatest of Ease felt too easy, but it was very hot and sweet with characters I liked. Rachel Firasek’s Dark Surrender was good, but pushed some boundaries for me personally and had a couple things that were confusing and others that weren’t very plausible. I did appreciate that it didn’t follow the same formula that the first two did in terms of plot.

Georgina DeBurca’s Twice the Pleasure was completely different from the plot of the first three stories and was very relatable, realistic, and I adored it. I think this was my favorite one of the entire anthology. Mina Carter’s Claimed by the Blade was simple and sexy, but just didn’t really have any depth for me.

April Angel’s The Bratty Lioness Tamer was good, but short and mostly sex. It was also probably one of the kinkiest of the bunch. Sabrina Garie’s Sweet and Sticky was simply sexy, sweet, and very enjoyable. Jennifer James’s Unmasking Her Dom was endearing, though deeper and darker than the others. I enjoyed it, though it was a little on the rough side.

If you’re looking for a kinky anthology from some great authors with varying styles within the genre, don’t miss out on The Sin Circus!

The Sin Circus sure ain't your Momma's circus, or the one you went to when you were a kiddo! The Sin Circus is definitely for grown ups only!

This compilation book of short erotic circus tales was absolutely hot, steamy, and a whole lotta fun to read! Although many authors contributed to the book, I found the writing so cohesive that you would think it was written by just one person. The base storyline throughout the book was kept intact as you read along. I have read a few compilation books where this doesn't happen. So it was very nice to see it here.

Individually, the stories were all fantastic!
