Heartache
Erotic, romantic, poignant and wistful, this anthology collection from Excessica authors will thrill you, touch you, and stay with you. These stories dare to explore the pleasure and pain of a lover gone, the one that got away, the forbidden affair, a true love existing on borrowed time. These are tales of passionate affairs that cannot last, but they are exquisite gems while they do, and like the star that burns brightest, these stories burn fast, dazzle and smolder in the memory.
Stories included by Elliott Mabeuse, Selena Kitt, D.B. Story, J.E. Taylor, Bekki Lynn, Giselle Renarde, Erin O'Riordan, Sable Jordan, G.R. Richards, J.L. Dillard, T. Harrison and Willsin Rowe Autumn (Paranormals and Weirdness) Spring (Romance!) Winter (Darker Days...) Summer (Hot!)

I was gifted this by the editor and I couldnt be happier. The title says it all. This collection of love lost is beautiful. Not each of them was my cup of tea, truth be told but I enjoyed them all the same.
Heartache and heartbreak are not subjects normally written or read without a HEA. But that's the beauty of this collection. From the first story in the book, I was hooked. I found myself reading through tears and occasionally shock, but mostly it was real pain.
I felt the loss and grief of the characters and found the entire read quite cathartic. If you're in the mood for a good cleanse of the soul then pull up your e-reader and dive in. The stories arent for the faint of heart or the sensitive, but if you have loved and lost in one way or another you will understand and appreciate the beauty of the stories within.
