I will be adding to my review as I finish each of the books. Finished :) FYI - This was a great box set, each of the stories were HOT and SPICY!
Unabashed by Sasha White Ian and Ronnie were friends as children and Ronnie had a major crush on Ian but then Ian moved away. Fast forward fifteen years and they meet again and all the past feelings come to the forefront. Ian has been in the lifestyle for a while but Ronnie is new to the scene, with her D/s training coming to an end its time for Ian and Ronnie to begin exploring a relationship. This was a quick, steamy, enjoyable, read.
Loaned by Annabel Joseph This story was unlike any I have ever read before. Bettina's Master gets off on loaning her to strangers, she is a "worthless slut" and they can do anything they want to her....Seriously? Now I have ready stories that the Dom would allow his submissive to pleasure another man, but to actually loan her to him for an indefinite amount of time...nope, nada, zilch. Mark was surprised when he was approached by Bettina in the club and told him that her Master was loaning her to him, actually to say he was surprised is probably an understatement if his actions spoke as to what he was feeling. I enjoyed the short story, it was a quick and intriguing read, plus it had Lots and Lots of steamy sex scenes.
Boots and Wings by Myla Jackson I really wish this was a longer story, I wanted much, much more. Jake and Tucker Maddox are both in love with Molly O'Brien and Molly is in love with the two brothers, how can a girl choose? Molly is the younger sister of Sean, Gabe and Tanner who are in a relationship with Isabella (From Boots and Bareback) so she know that a menage relationship can work but can she convince Jake and Tucker of that? I loved Molly's spunk and determination to get what she wanted she was fearless in her quest. I have to say it was fun watching Jake and Tucker come to terms with everything that was going on around them and try to one up one another. Like I said earlier I wanted MORE, I couldn't get enough of the three of them.
Pin Me Up Proper by Cathryn Fox Janie is tired of the same old men and needs to change things up so while out with her friends she decides she is going to seduce her camera man Kaden, when she made that decision she had no idea what she would be getting into. Janie is being stalked by a former maintenance crew member she is forced to take out a restraining order and change her phone number several times but that doesn't stop him from stalking after the beautiful actress. Needless to say that Janie doesn't exactly trust men and when she finds out that Kaden and his best friend Tate have shared everything and I mean everything, Janie knew she would be no different. Kaden and Tate introduce Janie to the BDSM lifestyle which is very different for her, she is normally the one in control so it scares her to become submissive to these two men. This was a suspenseful read with tons of spice and a HFN ending. I wish the story was longer and I want to know more about Tate....I can only hope that their will be another book with him as the Hero.
Acceptable Risk by Candace Blevins This was a hot quick read. Who would have thought that two wolves and a leopard could play nice together? Well, take those three and throw Bethany in there and you have a whole lot of playing nice. *wink* *wink* Bethany always joked around saying she wanted a Harem well, I guess her wish came true. I have enjoyed many books by Candace Blevins and although this one is shorter then most of her books it did not disappoint. One thing I really liked about this book was that you didn't need to read the first two books in the series to know what was going on but if you have it will make this story more enjoyable because you will know the back story to some of the secondary characters that were mentioned.
This collection is enjoyable and a mix of sweet light to slightly edgy BDSM. This book kicks off with Unabashed by Sasha White starts it off with a sweet maledom. It seems to be a story in part of series. This is fine and can still be read as a standalone.
Loaned by Annabel Joseph is FABULOUS! Bettina is a slave who is losing enthusiasm with her Master. She wasn't expecting the way he treated her, but she is not in the position to question. She hates being loaned out but she does it anyway. One night, she is loaned to a another dominant. Bettina receives a real education on how a slave can be treated. This is probably the "darkest" story in collection. It's still not that dark. What it is, is an excellent demonstration of what a slave would like and still be treated with respect. The kink is so arousing which is to be expected from Ms. Joseph.
Boots & Wings by Myla Jackson was okay. I didn't enjoy this one as much because I didn't like the ultimatum. The kink was non-existent. Molly was annoying and quite easy. Jake and Tucker were nonstop bickering. I feel like the mom in a car with the kids in the back poking each other. Then turning around and yelling, SHUT UP!
Pin Me Up Proper by Cathryn Fox is interesting. Glitterkink because of the exclusive club. The dungeon is fabulous and a fantasy. The "fixing" of Janie's trigger doesn't work for me.
Acceptable Risk by Candace Blevins is why I read the book. Dirty slutty Bethany finally gets her men. Wow, this one is a tasty glimpse into Chattanooga Supernaturals world. I love all the interconnections between her series. This can be read as a standalone. I loved the kinky sex. Loved the shifters and specifically liked Mac. Plus, REDHEAD! I can be bribed with redheaded females getting rough sex from multiple men. It is lighter than most of Ms. Blevins' BDSM book.
Overall, a good collection recommended for kinky readers who want to move one step past sugarkink.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I enjoy anthologies. It's always good to read a book that has many different stories in it. Price-wise and entertainment-wise, it's a great value. This goes without saying that for the fact alone that this book is an anthology already warrants a good rating for me.
Every Which Way is definitely a good compilation of hot, chockful, and stimulating erotica written by some of the best names in the said genre. The stories are all steamy and well written. I loved almost all of them. I had my favorites, but they were all so good, and there's really something for everybody.
Annabel Joseph's Loaned is definitely my favorite in the entire book. Then again, I always love her stories. It's about a sub whose owner loans her to other doms with the goal of hearing all about it when she returns. That is until she meets the one man who doesn't want to give her back.
Whether you are into tamer BDSM or if you like it more hardcore, or if you prefer menage or shapeshifters, there is a story for you in this book. I would most certainly say that this book is really something you should check out.
UNABASHED by Sasha White Overwatch series Mechanic Veronica “Ronnie” Mack joined the Overwatch club because she’d given up on finding love, and decided to settle for sexual satisfaction. Then Ian, her childhood crush, walked back into her life as one of the club’s Trainers, and proved that their connection was as strong as ever.
We met Ronnie and Ian in the first Overwatch story, Unfettered. This short picks up immediately after the conclusion of Unfettered, as the pair begin a new romance and venture further into the D/s aspect of their relationship.
All in all, I enjoyed Unabashed. The book continues the ongoing love story of Ian and Ronnie, which is still in progress. The story is a slice of life, but more satisfying. We see both Ronnie and Ian begin to get comfortable as a couple and in their rolls. They each grow a little more. While their story could end there, the author gives promise we will see them again, hopefully securing their relationship and finding love. Their love isn't in question, but it's too soon for it, and I'm very thankful the author isn't rushing into for the sake of an HEA. It’s an enjoyable story, made more so because I've already read their beginnings.
My Rating: B+
LOANED by Annabel Joseph Bettina’s Master gets off on loaning her to strangers. Afterward, she’s supposed to report back to him with all the raunchy details. It’s all kinky fun and games, until one of those strangers decides he doesn’t want to give her back…
Mark and Bettina meet because Bettina’s Master tells her to pick up Mark. Mark, instantly recognizing that Bettina is much more than a worthless slave, takes advantage of her offer, whisking her away from Chicago to New York.
The story is shared from the two alternating first person POVs of Mark and Bettina. I'm not typically a fan of this, but their individual voices are different enough and clearly demarcated, so it works.
Normally, I don’t tag my reviews with trigger warnings, but I feel it is necessary to share that this is not anything typical of what I read. Mark and Bettina enjoy the darker side of sex. While a Master/slave relationship and sadomasochism isn't remotely hot to me in this story, the mind games were fascinating enough to keep me reading.
Overall, Loaned is an interesting story, and I'm glad I read it. The mind games actually lead to some strong emotions, and I enjoyed where the author took the couple. This story is definitely not going to be for everyone, and although I didn't find the sex “sexy," I was able to understand what the characters were getting from the relationship and how they came to fall in love.
My Rating: B-
BOOTS & WINGS by Myla Jackson Ugly Stick Saloon series Pilots, partners and brothers, Jake and Tucker Maddox, are both in love with Molly O’Brien and she’s in love with them. Because of their crazy sibling rivalry she refuses to choose between them, and instead walks away. On the verge of losing the best gal that ever happened to them, the two brothers hatch a desperate scheme to kidnap Molly, carrying her away to their mountain cabin where they convince her she can have them both, if she dares.
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy Boots & Wings, and did not finish reading this story. The dialogue and narrative felt simplistic. The men came off sounding stereotypically shallow. I just couldn't get into it at all and DNF'd after 3 chapters. For some reason the characters all irritated me.
My Rating: DNF
Pin Me Up Proper by Cathryn Fox Breaking the Rules series Bored with the men in her life, actress Janie Monroe is looking for something different. On a whim, she decides to seduce her cameraman, a guy who comes off as a nerdy video gamer. After enticing him at a pin-up photo shoot, she learns that he does indeed like to play, but instead of a game console and controller, his toys are shackles, blindfolds and ropes. Janie soon finds herself immersed in a world of dark passions where her boundaries are challenged and pleasure beyond her wildest imagination is the prize.
Janie is bored with her sex life and is looking for something and someone new. She decides to look outside her usual crowd and seduces the nerdy looking camera man on the set of her TV show. She soon discovers that Kaden is much more than he appears.
Pin Me Up Proper is my favorite story from the anthology. I loved how the whole story, from the romance to Janie’s stalker, didn’t follow conventionality. Things I expected to happen didn’t, and the story was better for it. I also enjoyed the dynamics between Kaden and his hetero-life-mate, Tate. The emotional intensity of the story shines because of their relationship and love for one another, which also brings Kaden and Janie closer. Also, I enjoyed the dynamics of the trio and the alternating POVs. It really helped bring to the surface and understand the feelings involved. Overall, the story is well done, and I really liked this sexy and emotional tale.
My Rating: A-
ACCEPTABLE RISK by Candace Blevin Chattanooga Supernatural series Mac is a new werewolf, and still must be watched at every moment to be sure he stays in control. His kink has always been ménage, so when he overhears the beautiful redhead at the bar wanting to take on not only him, but also the werewolf and wereleopard chaperoning his night out… he has to convince them to let him take her home. He might not be trustworthy with a human woman alone, yet, but with two powerful shapeshifters in bed with them, what could go wrong?
Ranger is charged with the safety and development of his newly made werewolf, Mac. He and his partner Jonathan agree to take Mac out to a local bar where shifters are welcome. Since he can’t be left unsupervised, when Mac decides he wants to get laid, the trio find a willing partner in Bethany, who just so happens to be on the prowl for a harem of hot, kinky men.
Acceptable Risk started strong with the trio of sexy men each experiencing chemistry with Bethany. Their night together is hot and holds potential for a longer-term arrangement. However, once Bethany finds out the group isn’t human, they have to perform an odd ritual, and frankly I got confused and found the whole scene off. And while I appreciated that Bethany did not have “insta-love” feelings for the group of men, it did cause for the story to drag on a bit longer than I wanted it to. However, it still was an enjoyable read, and I loved mixing in a little paranormal into the anthology.
My Rating: B
Overall Review: Every Which Way is a diverse and entertaining erotic romance anthology. I enjoyed the variety, from ménage to kink to BDSM to Master/slave. From contemporary to cowboy to paranormal. If you enjoy sexy and erotic, there is something for you in Every Which Way.
OVERALL BOOK Rating: B, Liked It

Review for UNABASHED by Sasha White; received a copy of the anthology through author.
This post to be revised when other four stories are visited!
Readers of Sasha White's OVERWATCH series and fans of Ian and Ronnie will enjoy this new extra little look into the lives of Dom Ian and his sub Ronnie. This short story picks up right where UNFETTERED left off -- the morning following Ian's words that he never brings a sub to his home.
These two are still fun to watch. I'm enjoying watching Ronnie learn the ropes and find her place in the Overwatch world, and I love the friendships and support that she's getting from her new community. Adam is not only the owner of the club, but he's a good friend to Ian and has his best interests at heart -- and is willing to help Ronnie find her way.
What I loved most about this Ronnie/Ian story is we get to see more of who Ronnie is -- we get to experience her in her true element, working on cars. We get to understand her more as a person.
I can't wait to see where else Sasha brings the Overwatch community!
Four of my favorite authors and one new one…AWESOME SET OF STORIES!!!!
Continuing Ian and Ronnie’s story from Overwatch Sasha gives us hot BDSM with sweet romance and snappy lines.
Myla Jackson’s western world at the Ugly Stick Saloon is sexy and will have you hoping that Jake and Tucker will not pass up Molly’s ultimatum .
Oh Cathryn. in the Breaking the Rules series Pin Me Up Proper is my favorite and watching Janie fall for someone completely different. As a self proclaimed menage fan I was very disappointed when Kaden decided not to share with Tate I know I would have loved that story as much as this one :)
My favorite story in this set is Acceptable Risk. I wanna be Bethany! Imagine whispering to your friends that you want a harem and being overheard by three sexy built shifters….oh yeah!!!!! Great characters and wonderful story!
I was lucky to receive an ARC. This is an anthology of five books. I rated it four stars because I didn't enjoy all the books. Really liked Unabashed, Loaned, and Pin and Proper. Acceptable Risk Felt like something I read before, so I struggled reading this , and Boots and Wings to me was a slow read. I still suggest you read it though.
So far I’ve only read a few of the stories in this anthology my review is for those 3 stories. Snap this up before the price goes up or the boxed set goes away!
Unabashed by Sasha White – An Overwatch story – light BDSM 4.5 stars This is the first book I’ve read by Sasha White and I loved it. I understand it is part of the Overwatch series but it stands alone. I didn’t feel like I’d missed anything while reading this story.
Ronnie and Ian meet again after several years apart. Ronnie had a crush on Ian when they were teenagers. She has just begun to explore her submissive side. She joined a club where it turns out that Ian belongs and is a Dom.
This is a fairly short story but it packed a punch. The sexy time is hot and you get to know a little about Ronnie and Ian. If I had one criticism it would be that the story ended a bit abruptly. There is a HFN (happy for now) and no cliffhanger. I was just enjoying the story and guess I wanted to know a little more about where their relationship is going. I’m now very interested in reading more stories in this series.
Loaned by Annabel Joseph – I’d call this one hardcore BDSM 4.5 stars Bettina’s master likes to loan her out to other Doms. When he loans her to a stranger named Mark, Mark doesn’t want to give her back.
The writing of this book was fine but the story was a bit too hardcore BDSM for my taste with strong S&M. There’s no cliffhanger which is always a plus. Just because this one story wasn’t to my taste doesn’t diminish the overall fantastic value for this collection of books.
Boots and Wings by Myla Jackson – An Ugly Stick Saloon story – MFM ménage 5 stars I love the Ugly Stick Saloon books and this is no exception. While this is part of the series it can be read as a stand-alone and you won’t feel like you’ve missed anything.
Tucker and Jake Maddox have been working hard on their air charter business but have finally decided to take a break. Both of them think it’s time to settle down. Unfortunately they’ve both decided they want the same woman; Molly O’Brien.
Their separate courtships of Molly, and the antics that ensue, provide a very entertaining story. Molly doesn’t want to choose between the brothers but they don’t want to share her. She finally gives them an ultimatum; they share her or neither of them can have her. There is a nice amount of sexy time and an interesting “kidnapping.” There is no cliffhanger; read it and see how things work out.
I received an early copy of this book for review purposes but I also bought a copy for my own.
***A gifted copy was provided by the author for my honest review******
I received this collection of Five brand new stories to review by Ms. Jackson ----The review I provide will be for “BOOTS & WINGS “
Jake and Tucker Maddox want to finally settle down but the only woman they want to do so with is--Molly O'Brien . They bicker on how to determine who gets her thru this weird dating method and figure its all straight. Meanwhile MS. Molly O’Brien has had enough of the Brothers Maddox. They have run hot and cold with her. Because they have done some crazy stunts of late and blown her off and then treated her rough, she has had enough. Molly has had enough and refuses to choose between the two men. She loves them BOTH. She decides she would rather have a broken heart than live with half a heart because that would be the case and the brothers are refusing to act like adults, the whole pulling and tugging is driving her insane so she just walks away… When the brothers realize that Molly was serious and wasn’t going to choose one over the other, they realized they let their heart go and quickly got their rears in gear and came up with this outrageously perfect plan to get their woman back. It involves kidnapping, whisking Molly away to their mountain lair and seduction…Need I say anymore? Will this win their dream woman back to their side and into their forever after? Will, that is something you have to find out by reading…
This is a wonderful novella and the characters are so rich and real . Even though this is a short story, the story packs a punch. Everything is vivid and in color in description. I loved everything in reading and couldn’t get enough of the MCs. I wanted more and didn’t want to stop reading. The only thing I have a small concern/grumble is that I would have loved to have seen an epilogue between Jake, Molly and Tucker. Something showing how life is treating them; it just kind of left us the reader with a blank spot but other than that, everything else, including the intense passions between the main characters is in point and I loved this story. Cant wait for more stories in this series. My rating: 4.4 stars ****
Five smoking hot tales of submission that will involve you head, heart and soul.
UNABASHED by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Sasha White – We met Ronnie and Ian in Unfettered (Overwatch #.5). If you haven’t read it you should but you can enjoy this without it. I love and can identify with Ronnie. She is a woman in a male dominated field. She has to hold her own in the garage but that isn’t who she is in the bedroom. When she ran into Ian, her first love, at Overwatch things got hot now they get real. I loved this story and want more. LOANED by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Annabel Joseph – The thing about BDSM is the only rules are Safe, Sane and Consensual. Not everybody has the same kinks. Bettina and Mark were a little too hard core for me but I was glad he got her away from her old “Master” and that they were able to find each other. BOOTS & WINGS by New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Myla Jackson – This is part of a series but can be read just fine stand alone. I was really glad to read this after Loaned because this is a fun ménage story and lightened my mood considerably. Pin Me Up Proper by USA Today and New York Times Bestselling author Cathryn Fox – I really got a kick out of this kinky tale. The actress who always needs to be in charge needs a change of pace from the pretty boys she has been dating. Who would have thunk the camera man was so hot and so very commanding? ACCEPTABLE RISK by Candace Blevins – This sizzling hot werewolf ménage has just enough love to back it off the edge for me. Bethany wants what her friend has a happy ménage. Hers comes with a few extra issues but love conquers all.
Consent is a hot button issue for me and Loaned and Acceptable Risk push at my limits but didn’t cross them. All in all I really enjoyed these well written stories and recommend you checking them out.

*This review is based on Acceptable Risk as I have not read the others yet.*
Bethany’s always wanted to settle down with a harem of men but she gets a bit more than she bargained for with Mac, Ranger and Jonathan in this smokin’ hot paranormal romance.
Bethany isn’t really looking for a relationship but she is looking for a really good time when she meets three sexy guys in Duke’s bar and the reader can’t help but get caught up in the sizzling passion and scorching hot sex scenes which include BDSM, m/f/m scenes. The chemistry between Bethany and the shifters burn up the pages with intense heat but the relationship building has a major obstacle – Bethany has some emotional issues that has her holding back and grips the readers by the heart. These strong compelling characters explode with sexuality and charisma while demanding the reader’s attention and the fast paced smooth flowing plot captivates readers with lots of suspense, passion and romance.
Adding even more tension and excitement, Mac is a new werewolf which keeps everyone on their toes and I have to say what a way to find out that shifters exist - I wouldn’t mind that at all and I am quite jealous. Vivid imagery brings the story to vibrant hot life while the expectation building events ensure that the reader can’t put the book down.
I was completely consumed by this story from beginning to end and I have to warn you that this story is so hot that you risk spontaneous combustion just by picking it up.
This is a great anthology, with my favourites being Acceptable Risk by Candace Blevins and Loaned by Annabel Joseph. Both of these are a little more intense, but that’s my preference. Unabashed by Sasha White was a well written and enjoyable story of a woman finding someone from her past who can satisfy her in the present. BDSM is presented in a sensible light as they negotiate their relationship. Boots and Wings by Myla Jackson was OK, but didn’t really engage me. The characters and situations felt a bit like I’d read them before, but it was well written. Pin Me Up Proper by Cathryn Fox was entertaining. This is the first time I have read this author. Loaned by Annabel Joseph was her usual high standard, with an intriguing opening which just kept developing. The BDSM is fairly intense, but as usual the characters are interesting, and the situations compelling. Acceptable Risk by Candace Blevins combines BDSM, ménage and paranormal. Sounds like a lot, doesn’t it? But it works really well together, with all the characters well rounded for a short story and lots of fascinating situations for the leading lady, Bethany, to deal with. The sex scenes as always are intense and well written. This anthology worth having at a price much greater than is currently being asked.
Review for Acceptable Risk, but will be updated when other stories are read.
Candace Blevins continues her streak in mixing BDSM, ménage and paranormal. The first two, she’s written about before, but adding paranormal is a new genre but one she has excelled at, make sure you check out the other current stories in other related series.
Bethany has always longed for what her friend Cassie has, a ménage and she decides that nothing but a harem of men will do for her. Well lucky for her, a shifter, who has excellent hearing overhears her and he and his buddies decide to make her dreams come true. Ranger, Jonathan and Mac certainly rock her world, but as in every relationship there are a few hurdles to cross. The sex scenes are very hot and everything and more that I would expect from the author. I felt Bethany’s frustration at wanting to keep the at arms-length but also wanting to get to know them better.
If anyone needed a happy ending, it was these four, they have all overcome so much in life. I really enjoyed Bethany’s story and really hope to visit with these bunch in upcoming books just to see how they are all doing together.
* I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review
I purchased this anthology because I am a fan of Sasha White’s Overwatch series. Her contribution, Unabashed, continues Ronnie’s and Ian’s story beautifully. Those unfamiliar with the series should be able to jump right in.
The other four authors in the anthology were all new to me. Loaned, by Annabel Joseph, was a touch too hard-core for my preferences in reading kink, but I enjoyed her voice so I’ll be looking to try another of her works in the future. I thoroughly enjoyed Pin Me Up Proper by Cathryn Fox and Acceptable Risk by Candace Blevins and I have added books by both authors to my TBR list. I particularly liked that Acceptable Risk brought some PNR to the otherwise contemporary set of stories and that I had no trouble with the world-building despite it tying in with some already established series. Boots & Wings was the only story that didn’t work for me. The story felt tepid (especially when compared to the other stories in this set) and the pacing seemed rushed.
Five sexy, sensual, satisfyingly kinky reads. Each book brought their own level of heat, kink, and sizzle.
UNABASHED ~ When an old love walks back into his life, a Dom now has the Submissive he’s always dreamed of but both of them have a lot to learn about this new relationship.
LOANED ~ Very hardcore BDSM was a little more than I usually like but still a good read.
BOOTS & WINGS ~ What happens when you can’t decide between two sexy brothers? Take them both, of course. Unable to decide who to choose, Molly tries to walk away but the boys have other plans for her. A sexy ménage story
PIN ME UP PROPER ~ One of my favorites in the set. Actress Janie is bored with the men in her life but bit off more than she can chew when she decides Kaden is the one to change things up. Will definitely say, Tate needs his own story. Yum.
ACCEPTABLE RISK ~ Extra hot shifter ménage was the perfect end to the box set. Another favorite and sure to entice, this was my first Candice Blevins book but most certainly not my last. Three is always better than two.
Uneven. There are five stories by five different authors. The first one is bloodless and annoying. The second one is a typical lesser work of Annabel Joseph (whose catalogue I've mostly read my way through) and it's the sort of thing you'll like if you like that sort of thing. The third is a sweet two cowboys meet one cowgirl and they live happily ever after in a poly triad for ever. That's probably the strongest story of the lot and surprisingly fun and light hearted including phrases like 'We did it in front of God and the horses'. Next is a boring story about a bored movie star who gets it on with her kinky cameraman. Except it also completely lacks any emotion, dramatic or erotic. Last is a bizarre supernatural romance about a woman and her harem of three hot ware-people (one wareleopard and two warewolves). The sexy bits are OK but the whole thing is weighed down by the supernatural elements. I had a feeling I might dislike supernatural romance and now I know.

Though this is an anthology, this review is strictly for Unabashed by Sasha White! I will post reviews for the other books at a later time.
~Unabashed by Sasha White
This was another quick read in the Overwatch Series, and this one continued the story of Ronnie and Ian, whom we met in Unfettered. This story takes place right where that book left off-the morning after they get together. It is another great read in this series, and this book is about their negotiations as Dom and Sub. They have to learn the in's and out's of what is going to work for them as a couple. This is chock full of steamy, sexy times, and we get to know the couple a bit better-including their shared past. I recommend this little novella, and I am sure that the other stories in this book are just as tasty.
Well, that was kind of different. The books all feature BDSM or a menage relationship (or both). They all go beyond hook ups into something more long term. The stories are more hard core than most other erotica I've read. They feature themes like humiliation, sadism, menage/harems, masters as well as one story that features a paranormal storyline. The last two stories were my favourites.
If you're looking for some quick, smutty stories with some edge, this book might interest you.
I received an ARC copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I love reading anthologies.......Short stories written by your favorite authors. I liked this group of books and the authors that penned them. I thought the length of the books and how many were written for Every Which Way was perfect.
I especially liked Loaned by Annabel Joseph. She was able to deliver a short but well balanced book that had you routing for Mark and Bettina. I loved the connection between the two. The knew their roles and both did a great job portraying Master / slave.
So far I've only read Boots & Wings by Myla Jackson in this collection of hot romances. When Molly O'Brien decides that she just doesn't just want one Maddox brother, but both of them. Their sibling rivalry makes her walk away from them and they scramble fast to prove to her that they can be what she needs she only has to ask. I'm looking forward to reading more of the stories in this collection.
This is one HOT read! Five sexy reads from some of my favorite authors. The stories are all a bit different so there is something there for everyone. The characters are excellent and the stories kept me glued to my e-reader. These all can be read as stand alones but if you are looking for a new series this might be a way for you to enjoy finding one. Enjoy!
I truly only bought the book for the Annabel Joseph story. I thought about reading the Blevins, but I don't read shifters often, as so closed it and the book
