MEET THE BAUMGARTNERS
---------
Steve “Doc” Baumgartner--alone, naked, face flushed with pleasure.

Carrie spies him indulging in a sexy, private moment. Though she’s sworn to herself she's through with guys, and her roommate-turned-lover Maureen is more than enough to satisfy her, Carrie can't stop fantasizing about Doc.

Then Carrie gets her chance. A summer getaway to Key West, the threat of Maureen’s zealot boyfriend, and Doc’s hunger for pleasure prove to be the perfect cocktail to lower Carrie’s inhibitions.

Smell the ocean air, pour yourself a drink, prepare for a summer to remember. It’s time to Meet the Baumgartners!

A BAUMGARTNER CHRISTMAS
---------
In spite of a brief experimentation early in their relationship, Doc and Carrie Baumgartner have since maintained a monogamous marriage without too much difficulty or even temptation--until now.

A move far from home, coupled with new friends and long hours away from each other, have left the young Baumgartner couple on shaky ground.

Doc believes bringing in someone "new," like they did early in their relationship, might add just the spice their marriage needs, but Carrie isn't so sure about that plan.

Doc has a surprise Christmas present for his wife anyway--but in an ironic twist, he discovers she has one for him, too.

Each gift allows the Baumgartners to rediscover, in the true spirit of Christmas, an expansive love that includes not only their feelings for one another, but the ability to share their passion.

THE BAUMGARTNER DIRTY SHOW
---------
Janie and Josh have been married ten years, and while life is good, they both have a longing for something “more” on occasion.

The two think they’ve found a good compromise between honoring their desires and still maintaining their loving commitment.

Once a year, on their anniversary, they embark on something so sexually adventurous, it gives a whole new meaning to the word “monogamy!”

A BAUMGARTNER VALENTINE
---------
Henry and Libby have a Valentine's Day tradition. Every year, this young, college aged couple share and explore a special fantasy with one another.

This time, though, Libby has discovered something shocking about the Baumgartners, leading her to speculate wildly about Henry's real feelings.

What she uncovers will lead them both to explore their wildest dreams and their true heart's desires!

This is another hot steamy book in the Baumgartner series. Although I would not recommend this book for anyone under 18, anyone older than that would have to be dead to not enjoy the steamy scenes Selena Kitt puts into this book and all the books in this series. I am usually more of a paranormal reader, but when I am looking for a steamy book Selena Kitt is my go to author! This is yet another hit for the series and I hope they keep coming.......

Meet the Baumgartners

Loved this and had trouble putting it down.
In this story, we meet Carrie and Steve.
Carrie is a young college student who one night wakes up needing the toilet and makes the decision to go the boy’s toilets because it is closer to her room.
Once finished her business in the toilets she hears a noise and upon investigating, she finds Steve Baumgartner in the shower cubicle, having a private moment with himself.
After being caught by Steve, she races off, only to find that her decision to use the boy’s toilet has her questioning her decision on her sexuality.
If you like hot, steamy reads then this is the book for you. Super Hot and Super Steamy.

The Baumgartner Christmas
This story takes place a little while after Meet the Baumgartners and Carrie and Steve (Doc) are married.
Doc and Carrie are meant to go to the timeshare in Key West with Doc’s parents. Doc is going to be late due to a rotation at the hospital so Carrie invites her friend Daphnie to come and spend Christmas with her.
Things get interesting when Doc turns up.
Another super hot and super steamy read by Selena Kitt. She is becoming a fast favorite.

The Dirty Show
This story doesn’t have Doc and Carrie in it. It has their daughter, Janie and her husband, Josh.
It is their 10 year anniversary and they are celebrating.
Their way of celebrating isn’t for everyone, but if it makes them happy then who are we to judge.
Super sexy, steamy.

A Baumgartner Valentine
This story doesn’t have Doc and Carrie in it. It has Harry, their son and Libby, his girlfriend.
Over New Year’s Libby stumbles upon a scene in the kitchen of Doc and Carrie’s house that totally shocks her and puts her thoughts in a spin, making her doubt her relationship with Harry.
On Valentine’s Day, Harry and Libby share their secret fantasies with each other. What surprises are in store for these two?
Another great read.

Meet the Baumgartners: Selena Kitt is a master at erotic fiction. She delivers all the amazing sex scenes from carnal to sensual while at the same time getting me connected to the characters and wanting to find out if a romance will survive. Carrie is a very sexual woman but everyone on campus sees her as the Ice Princess. She decides to prove them wrong and Doc "Steve Baumgartner" gets pulled into her vortex. I believe Carrie and Doc could melt an ice berg! Love meeting the Baumgartner's, excited to see where they will take us.

A Baumgartner Christmas: Carrie and Doc definitely know how to keep the heat in their relationship but as residency demands pull Doc away more frequently, Carrie starts to feel like she isn't enough. They haven't invited a third person into their relationship since college and Carrie starts to get an itch but feels guilty. Doc however knows that Carrie needs this to feed her inner sex kitten. When they both plan surprise Christmas gifts, well, let's just say great minds think alike which doubles their fun!

The Dirty Show: Very cleverly presented is Janie's sexual fantasy that Josh, her husband, is only too happy to fulfill. I don't want to give away the fantasy because it's too much fun to experience on your own. I know I was presently surprised, a bit shocked and totally turned on by their sexual fun.

A Baumgartner Valentine: Henry takes his girlfriend, Libby, to visit his parents. Libby learns the true nature of Carrie and Doc's relationship and is shocked, overwhelmed and dismayed that Henry never told her the truth. She begins to doubt that she is enough for Henry since he grew up in an environment of a polyamorous relationship. Does Henry want to introduce another person into their sexual relations? As Valentine's approaches, what gifts will really be exchanged?

I love Selena Kitt’s books. She is an amazing author. If you have not read any of her books you are truly missing out. She really needs warnings at the beginning of her books. The ones I have read have been very hot and steamy and will leave you wet and wanting more.

Meet the Baumgartners
Carrie was in college and had sworn off men. She did enjoy playing with her best friend and roommate Maureen. One night Carrie had sneaked into the men’s restroom and saw the Greek God Steve Baumgartner aka Doc jacking off. After that she could not get her mind off of him and after getting busted by Steve he was not able to get his mind off of her. Will Steve be able to break thru the wall that Carrie has built up?

A Baumgartner Chirstmas
Steve and Carrie are married. Though neither was tired of each other they both had a secret desire to spice it up a bit. Carrie was missing the bisexual experience and Steve knew she needed that in her life. Though he would love to be included he was well content if Carrie would play with a woman on her own. Steve thought he wanted to give her whatever would make Carrie happy. Would that be the case if it includes another man?

The Dirty Show
WOW got to love Janie and Josh. Loved the game they played at each bar. They had a reason they played this game. It was something they did every year. Want to know why they played the game? Well read the book. I assure you this is one hot sexy story.

Whether you've read the Baumgartners before or this is your first meeting of them, this is will definitely be enjoyable.

Meet the Baumgartners introduces you to Doc and Carrie and tells us how they met and fell in love. It's always nice to see a romance just starting out.

A Baumgartner Christmas shows how much Doc and Carrie love and trust each other. They do Christmas in Key West, with Carrie bringing Daphne as a present for Doc and Doc bringing Wilson as a present for Carrie. It turns into a very interesting Christmas surprise.

A Baumgartner Valentine is about Henry and Libby (Doc and Carrie's son and his girlfriend). Libby has just found out the surprising truth about Doc and Carrie and it has her questioning her relationship with Henry. But Henry has the perfect Valentine's Day present planned for Libby which will eliminate all of her worries.

The Dirty Show is about Janie and Josh (Doc and Carrie's daughter and her husband). They're out celebrating their tenth anniversary in a very unique way. ***Warning this is NOT for everyone.

Overall a great collection and a great addition to the Baumgartner series.

Hot and steamy...

Selena Kitt knows how to write sexy with a good story to boot. This collection of four short stories revolve around the Baumgartners which you may have read about in other stories. Carrie and Doc are the head of the clan and in "Meet the Baumgartners" you find out how they met in college and began their romance. Of course, nothing is typical and despite the love they have for each other they are not shy about sharing themselves, emotionally and physically, with those they care about. I loved finding out how it all began in a sexy but sweet romp. A Valentines tale reveal more about the couple a few years after they have tied the knot. There is nothing staid about the loving duo, however, and they remind us of how sweet love can be in its many forms. Janie and Henry have their own stories which are as sexy and, surprisingly, romantic as well. This author knows love and heat and we get a taste in each of these short stories. More great additions to the series!

Thank you to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

First let me premise my review by saying that although I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review, I actually own all of the Baumgartner books.

Hot Shorts is a great place to start for anyone new to the Baumgartner world. As always Kitt bring on the heat. Doc as the patriach of the Baumgartner family guaranteedthat the rest of the family is just as uninhibited and carefree when it comes to their sexual adventures. Which is why I was so happy to see that this shorts bundle begins with Doc and Carrie's first meeting. It sets the tone for all the fun to be had should you happen to meet and catch the eye of a Baumgartner

This bundle is fantastic, but I would definitely suggest if you enjoy it... go out and pick up the rest of the series

WARNING!!!! If multi partners and swinging is not your thing, then these book is not for you, but if it is then you will love this book. The Baumgartners are a wild couple and so are their children. This is a short collection of stories that deal with Steve aka Doc and his wife Carrie and also their children. These are some short hot reads that will leave your device smoking. This is some erotica at its best and will make you want to read more about this couple and there are more out there that is just as good as these in this collection.

Baumgartner Hot Shorts by Selena Kitt
4 stars

Whenever I'm looking for an extremely steamy, or smoking hot, story, Selena Kitt's books do not disappoint!
Every single story had a different appeal, and had characters that had an interesting thought process.
I liked that all the Baumgartner stories tied the characters together and created a timeline that spanned decades. I liked that dialogue was created to deal with the emotions and thought processes with each sexual scenario, and it followed a more healthy pattern of communication.

I received this book from the author in return for an honest review. I have read several books written by Selena Kitt, but had not read any of the Baumgartner series. This book has four short stories about the Baumgartners. They are steamy, sizzling hot. I knew that Selena was a wonderful writer, and this book lived right up to my expectations. I had only read about half of the first story, when I started looking at the other books in the series. I know I want to read more about this family, and you will too, but you might want to purchase extra batteries before reading them.

I recommend these stories for anyone who wants something hot and tantalizing to read!
I would like to thank the author for allowing me to read this book for free for an honest review!

Hot Shorts by Selena Kitt is an excellent way to get to know the Baumgartners. From the meeting of Doc and Carrie to their son Henry. The stories are hot and steamy but each has a story behind it that draws the reader into wanting to know more about each character. These four stories should encourage readers to get to know more about the Baumgartners and their exploits if one enjoys this type of work. Excellent job, another hit for Selena.

I found this shorts very entertaining I especially like getting to know all about the Baumgartner. I mean all the scenes are scorching hot. I wish that we had a little bit more backstory on what happened to Maureen after she got married. Overall I like it if your looking for a quick read to get you in the mood I would totally recommend this short.

Received an ARC copy from author for a honest review. Short, steamy collection of stories with the Baumgartners. They are quick and easy to read. Perfect if you don't have a lot of time for a longer story. Only drawback for me is the FF scenes but I know others will love it. Overall a good collection of stories.

I have read the Baumgartner series since the first publications years ago and the shorts in this book definitely lived up to their predecessors. The stories were spicy and sexy. Every example of how to keep a marriage lively, if that's what you are into, is contained in these shorts.

This one was one way to introduce the Baumgartner. It was quick and steamy. It went from the 2st generation to the next one without reading the whole series. One good thing for me.
I was kinda lost in between because I didn't know it jump to the next generation. Still I caught up with Henry.
I liked it because of Doc and Carie.
