I've read the first three so far, but I can tell you I'm loving this boxed set. If you like your books on the hotter side which I do then I would recommend this! I'm going to edit my review as a I finish reading.

Debt of Honor: When i first started this one I was a little skeptical, but once we got inside
the Hero's head the story flowed very well for me. It is very HOT! When Angelica gets detained for a crime she is innocent of Kadin got more than he bargained for. Kadin thought to "punish" her in the delicious ways possible, but the tables are turned when hearts start to come into play. What happens when Dhiya returns? Will Kadin and Angelica"s love nest be over?

Yours to Take: Rebecca's friends think she needs to get away for the weekend to have a little adult fun. Rebecca gets more then she ever dreamed of when the man she can stop thinking about hijacks her to his island home. Soon Quinn is introducing Rebecca to all the delights of a Sub/Dom relationship.

Accidental Abduction: I want to find myself a purple alien like Tren. Tren accidentally kidnaps Megan and inadvertently saves her life from the water. Megan thinks her life can't get any worse after her fiance tries to kill, but now she has to deal with Tren galaxies away from Earth. These two can't stand one another, but soon fireworks of another kind flare to life. Tren keeps saying he's going to auction Megan off to the highest bidder, but when the time comes will he be able to let her go?

This anthology caters to a wide variety of tastes, there's something here for everyone. When you pick up this book, you can expect futuristic stories about alluring aliens and smoking hot paranormals, along with contemporary novellas featuring scorned sheikhs and young thrill-seekers who are flirting with danger. This anthology also contains one story about a young man whose inner darkness and family legacy casts 600 year long shadows...

Some of the stories are humorous, others simply sexy or touching. And for people who crave the dark and dangerous, well you'll find that here too.

The men are always possessive. Some of them are hurting, others are far too full of themselves and in desperate need of a female's kick to the groin;-) Some fall head over heels in love, others are hurting or hunt their women like prey. But they've got one thing in common, they're always possessive, and they ALWAYS claim their woman.

Many of the stories belong in a larger story universe, but most can be read as standalones, the two remaining ones have cliffhanger endings.

With only a few exceptions, I found this anthology very intriguing, and I'm glad I bought it. I will most likely buy additional books from two or three of the featured authors.

INDIVIDUAL RATINGS:


DEBT OF HONOR by Opal Carew Held captive by a domineering sheikh… …and made to pay for a crime she did not commit
* 4 sexy stars

YOURS TO TAKE by Cathryn Fox Revenge takes on a sexy twist when a powerhouse lawyer is stripped of her control by the handsome multi- millionaire she once took down in the courtroom.
* 4 domineering stars

ACCIDENTAL ABDUCTION by Eve Langlais Fall in love? Never! An alien assassin turned pirate has no use for an emotion he can't sell, but that doesn't stop him from falli ng for the human he captures.
* I've read this one before, and I still love it. 4 hilarious stars

JAGUAR’S RULE by T. J. Michaels After an irresistible night of passion with Reya, Aaron James longs to hold her close forever. Little does he know that the tall, sleek beauty has a carnal secret and he's the one who needs protection.
* 2 stars, what a snooze

HANDCUFFED TO THE SHEIKH by Teresa Morgan The last thing Maxine Foss ever expected was to be handcuffed to a sexy, but crazy, guy who claims he's an Arabian prince... and is determined to seduce her. Best. Abduction. Ever.
* 4 touching stars

FAST AND MINE by Sharon Page College student Claire gets lessons in seduction from sexy, hot street bike racer, Sawyer. But when she’s kidnapped by his psychotic sponsor to force him to race, can Saw yer save her and win her heart?
* 2,75 adrenaline junkie stars

BURNS LIKE FIRE by Mandy Rosko Jack Marilla is out for revenge for the deaths of his family, and the burn scars that cover his body. To get it, he has to hunt down the woman he used to love, the paranormal fire starter who set his house ablaze with him, and his family, locked inside of it. When he catches her, however, he faces his biggest challenge yet. To not believe her when she claims to be innocent, or fall for her seduction.
* 4 stars. Now this one would have been 5 stars, had it not been for the cliffhanger. I hope there is a continuation, couldn't find one at the moment, but will keep looking.

DEBT INHERITANCE by Pepper Winters Jethro Hawk receives Nila as an inheritance present on his twenty- ninth birthday. Her life is his until she’s paid off a debt that’s centuries old. He can do what he likes with her— nothing is out of bounds— she has to obey. There are no rules. Only payments.
* Warning: this is a dark, dark serial that will end in a HEA eventually. Absolutely ludicrous premise, no English court would uphold that 600 year old document, but the danger and mindfuckery is superb. 4 stars, but only because I think Pepper Williams could have made the debt inheritance and the Weaver family sacrifice more believable... somehow. Will read the rest of this series to find out how it ends. Nila is the only heroine who doesn't get a HEA in the anthology, and she desperately needs one. Along with REVENGE!

CHOOSING RILEY by S. E. Smith Things take a turn for the worse when Riley St. Claire is kidnapped by aliens and forced to choose a mate. The problem is, it would have been better, and safer, for the aliens if th ey had left Riley back on Earth.
*5 LMAO stars. Will continue this series, sassy heroines and clueless alien royals, yes please

DEBT OF HONOR by Opal Carew
Holy hot balls of fire! Um, I'm sure at one point in time we've all had a crazy attack fantasy. This story is so that! Eeeep, yes, it is hot, sexy, steamy and will have you whimpering. Wow, I don't want to give the story away but it's awesome! You need to read! Love me some Opal! "alone every night, with nothing but a battery-operated friend to keep you warm."
Hot story

YOURS TO TAKE by Cathryn Fox
Wow, um, "Good girls get rewarded." Um, yes they do! SO well! This was one red hot story. Can someone find me a sexy millionaire who wants to kidnap and spank me? *Fans self* This was a hot dom/sub story. It truly had me panting for breath. Rebecca had a stick up her butt and needed to loosen up. Quinn knew just what she needed. This was a fantastic story!

ACCIDENTAL ABDUCTION by Eve Langlais
I love me some Eve! #stalkingeve Yes, well, Ms. Langlais has done the impossible. Never have I found anything about aliens sexy. Ever. I don't watch Sci-Fi movies, don't read about aliens. But hot damn, hold on to your seat. Tren has changed my mind. I'm in love with his purple ass. You will laugh. This story is funny while sexy. Frukx, the alien version of a four letter word, well, it's witty and interesting and this story has changed my opinion on aliens!

JAGUAR’S RULE by T. J. Michaels
I have to say, it took awhile for me to get into this story. It moved around so quick that I felt lost. Their "attraction" and "love" happened super quick. But as the story developed more, I loved it. It was great to see a powerful female shifter in the Alpha like role. It was a sexy read with a crazy twist. The story really was a sexy theme. It just wasn't my fave in the book.

HANDCUFFED TO THE SHEIKH by Teresa Morgan
The story had me confused for a bit. But once I caught on, I thought it was a sweet story. It was sexy and romantic. There wasn't as much to it as the other stories, but it was still a good quick read.


FAST AND MINE by Sharon Page
I'm not normally a fan of young kids. There were points in the story where I was like WTF? Though Claire was a virgin, the first time she had sex, there's no mention of pain or anything? Threw me off. Plot wise, this was a good story. I would have loved to see it with older characters. I'm not into 18 year olds acting like mature adults. The suspense was good, the drama was well written. This really was a great story! It would have been a 5 star read for me if they were adults. As it is, the story itself gets 4 stars from me.


BURNS LIKE FIRE by Mandy Rosko

This was an interesting story. A Paranormal Hunter and a Paranormal. Past love and some crazy action. This story roped me in and I'm dying to read more of these characters from the author!

DEBT INHERITANCE by Pepper Winters

Ok, to start, this book had me boggled. It is a dark story. Very dark. I wasn't sure how I liked it. Nila had way too much "inner dialogue" but as the story progressed, I was hooked. I couldn't stop reading. Much to my dismay, the story ends on a cliff hanger and I'm dying to know where the next installment is!

CHOOSING RILEY by S. E. Smith

This was a fun story. Riley was witty, smart mouthed and so much fun! Her character is a klutz, gets into messes but I love her. Vox, the over bearing shifter alien was pure Alpha. Again, I'm not one to be interested in Sci-Romances. But this box set has totally changed my mind. I'm loving the ones in this book! Aliens have taken a whole new meaning with me !

I was asked by the wonderful Cathryn Fox to do a review of this boxed set and I more than happily agreed to do it. Not only do I love Cathryn's books, but I was also looking to see if I found any new author's that I may enjoy. So normally I would do a whole long review on each book in this set. But I don't want to bore you and I'm actually on a library computer so I have a limited time to write this review.


Anyways I'm babbling here.... On with the show, I'm going to write reviews for 3 of the books in here. A couple of the books that were included in this set were actually books that I have read in other sets. So they weren't really new to me. But I'm going to write a review for Debt of Honor, Yours to Take, and Handcuffed to the Sheikh.


Yours To Take:

As I said I was asked by the wonderful Cathryn Fox to review this set, especially for her book. This was a enjoyable fast and quick read. I almost wish that this story was a little bit longer than it was. I really enjoyed Rebecca and Quinn's character's. If someone were to kidnap me for a weekend I would definitely want it to be Quinn. I wouldn't mind him teaching me a few thing's. It was steamy and hot and everything delicious. Like I said it was a fun and quick read.


Debt Of Honor:

This book was the 1st story in the set and the 1st story I read. And it was one of those books that I normally don't read much of and when I first started to read it I was like "uhhhh." I found myself not wanting to read it but at the same time I couldn't stop reading it. In the end though I really did enjoy it and found that I enjoyed the character's in this book. I will warn you though there is some female on female action in this story. So if you don't enjoy reading that you might not enjoy this story.


Handcuffed to the Sheikh:

After reading Debt of Honor, I decided to go ahead and read Handcuffed to the Sheikh. This was another fast and quick story. It was steamy and hot and so much more. I loved the character's Maxine and Sayd. This story made me laugh a little bit and it made me really feel for Maxine (who can't remember she's married to Sayd) and for Sayd because he loves Maxine and just wants her to remember their love. It's another one of the stories in this set that I wish just a little bit longer than it actually was.


Overall I would give this boxed set a 4.5 out of 5 Stars. It was thoroughly enjoyable and I liked all of the books in them. I would recommend this boxed set to anyone who loves any kind of story that has a little bit of everything in it.


**Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this boxed set from Cathryn Fox for my honest review. The opinions in this post are 100% of my own and may differ from others.**

I thought this story a little too fast paced, but it was sexy as hell. Kadin is dominating and tough then sweet, sexy and wow enormous (giggles). Angelica I liked her shyness, attitude and toughness and wow her sexual appetite wow! Very sexy sex scenes, interesting twists and did I say sexy. Just a little too fast paced. 3-3.5 stars

Cathryn Fox:

Wow! What a weekend Rebecca's friends set her up on only it went way better then anyone would have thought. Sexy as hell, so freakin hot Quinn is one gorgeous Dom and he has his mind and heart set on Rebecca, these two are on fire or each other. Love the lessons tat Rebecca learns from Quinn. Very hot 4 stars

Eva Langeis

Very entertaining story, love how Sassy Megan is to Tren, Tren is hot as hell and smitten with Megan. Very action packed story and sexy as hell. 4 stars

T.J. Michaels

This is my favorite in this box set so far, loved the action, loved the intrigue and mystery but loved loved loved Reya and Aaron. Loved their flirting and their first kiss to wow! Loved them together, great characters, great story, great secondary characters ..love Aaron's brothers..lol..would love to read more by this author. 5 stars

Teresa Morgan

This story was way to fast, could have been given a little more time to play out, the characters were good and the story but it went by too quick, there was no real story just a fast paced few chapters. 2.5 to 3 stars

Sharon Page

Cute story, very highschooly. I enjoyed the characters specially caire and her geeky ness..lol..but she's awesome, smart and funny too. Sawyer is sexy as hell, smart, adorable and hot. Lol..I thought the whole kidnapping thing was a little boring but overall the story was ok. 3 - 3.5 stars

An awesome set that captured my attention the minute I started reading it. I have read 2 of the books before but it was wonderful to get the chance to read them again!

Debt of Honor by Opal Crew
This is one I had read before and enjoyed. Nothing like having to pay for something you did not do..only to find true love!

Yours to Take By Cathryn Fox

I've read this one before also since I'm a Cathryn Fox junkie :)
Nothing like getting a chance to throw someone who took you down in the courtroom for a loop and turn it into something special!

ACCIDENTAL ABDUCTION by Eve Langlais
Okay honestly I'm not a fan of Paranormal or Alien books but this one stole my heart. Normally I skip these but I was so glad I read it.. I fell in love with both of the main characters and can't wait to read the one about his brother. This is a must read even if your normally not into this type of romance!

JAGUAR'S RULE by T. J. Michaels

Again I'm not into shifters and such but I did enjoy this book! Can the man she found in the woods save her? Oh boy can he and even more :)

HANDCUFFED TO THE SHEIKH by Teresa Morgan

Nothing like finding yourself handcuffed to a guy you swear is crazy only to find out he's your husband and you have no memory and people are trying to attack you!!

FAST AND MINE by Sharon Page

Wow just wow! A great read about a street racer and an unexperienced girl!

BURNS LIKE FIRE by Mandy Rosko
I didn't really get into this one but it's also not my normal go to romance type. If you like Paranormal you will probably enjoy this book.

DEBT INHERITANCE by Pepper Winters
OMG wow this book was great!

CHOOSING RILEY by S. E. Smith
Again I'm not an alien/paranormal reader but this one kept my attention and I enjoyed it :)

I received and ARC in exchange for my honest review.. and honestly this is a great set of amazing authors!!

Debt of Honor by Opal Carew:
I'm kind of torn on this one. It had a lot of f/f action which I don't get into. But I really liked both of the characters.

I didn't like Kadin at first until you got his POV and discovered his reasons for "capturing" Angelica. Then I liked him a lot more and he wasn't really the bad guy.
Overall it was a really hot story. I just don't get into f/f and having harems.

Yours to Take by Cathryn Fox:
This one was super hot! It delves into Dom/Sub relationships.
Rebecca has been missing something in her relationships. Not realizing that she needed to let go of control. Quinn saw this in her and wanted to be the one to teach her.
My only issue with this one was that I felt like it could have been a longer story. I wanted more at the end.

Accidental Abduction by Eve Langlais:
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel going into reading this one. Aliens not so much my thing. But I am completely happy to say that I was wrong and LOVED it!
Give me a purple domineering alien anytime! Tren is just a super hot alpha male.
I adored Megan. She is such a strong sassy and super sarcastic character. She's utterly fearless. I laughed my way through this book. I can't wait to read more from this author.

This was not a romance more like horror with torture added. I was really dissatisfied with this book and the cliff hanger ending did not help. The heroine was tortured throughout the whole book and humiliation was in every interaction between the hero and heroine. I give Pepper Winters' book ZERO stars!
