This mix of authors have nailed it with great romance stories based on Duran Duran's music.
“All right, I’ll suffer.” He smoothed his pants over his ever growing bulge. “Look what you do to me.”
Each of these stories were based on one of their songs. You feel like you're back in the 80’s era. There were different elements in each story giving them individuality.
New Moon on Monday by Kim Carmichael: I loved Luna and Blake, you could feel the instant connection no matter how hard Luna would fight it.
Ordinary World by Solera Winters: There was a deep connection between Yancy and Tessa when they first see each other. This story is about finding your soul mate, loved it.
Hungry Like the Wolf by Louisa Bacio: This is a paranormal story that you will love. A great hot read with a surprise twist.
Before the Rain by Kerry Adrienne: This was a futuristic read about Maddox and Allana. I was pleasantly surprised with this read, really enjoyed Allana’s sassiness and strength.
Wild Boys by C. Margery Kempe: This was an apocalyptic read, with several characters trying to survive This is a M/M read that has a great ending.
Love Voodoo by Alyssa Breck: You read about Collette who is just learning how to read tarot cards, Luca walks into her store and changes everything for her.The connection between these two was intense and the story was a great read.
Union of the Snake by KC Burn: This is Zarek's story, it was an intriguing story. This is a M/M read that was written very well. Great read.
Girls in Film by Linnea Alexis: This story was about Sophie and Greg, a great read that had mystery and danger.
Rio by Sabrina Sol: This is Chase and Rio’s story. Loved the hot sex and intensity between them. A great romance to end a great anthology.
Unable to keep his hands off her, he lifted her to the counter and began making a meal of her unique flavors.
I felt like I was taken back to the 80’s with the titles of these great reads. And each story had their own spin and I thoroughly enjoyed them, especially the hot sexy scenes. This is a must read.

☆♡☆♡☆♡♡☆♡☆♡☆ 5 STAR REVIEW ☆♡☆♡☆♡♡☆♡☆♡☆
If you are an 80's lover then this box set is for you. Come Undone is based on the music of the greatest group Duran Duran.
Each and every story based on one of their songs are so well captured it will take you back to that era. Love, passion, compassion, laugh, lust and hot sex are the components you will find in this anthology that will make you want to read it time and time again.
The way the authors captured the essence of the song and made a great short story will have you mesmerised. Like I said if you are a fan of this group then this stories will have you remanence.
Don't let this great book get away and what better way to spend a less than one dollar for this stories.
If I had to pick a favorite story from this anthology I wouldn't know which one to pick they all are amazing and incredible.
You can say I became an instant fan of this anthology. I won't miss it if I were you.
I recommend it with no doubt in my mind.

Review
5 Platinum Records
What a great idea this is. Here I go again dating myself, but in 1978 I graduated from H.S. and Duran Duran began their musical career. Yes I had to listen to these song again and see how they inspired these wonderful authors to write such provocative stories in line with the sexual inferences of the song that they are written from. Each author has taken a song and has written their own story from their interpretation. At $0.99 this is worth one clicking and enjoying.
Each story takes you on a different journey be it a simple love story, a paranormal romance, or a love reunited. This collection of books have something for everyone. For me it was a trip down memory lane while lead on nine different paths of love, and lust.

Rating only for Union of the Snake by KC Burn (I did not read the others); M/M; loved it! A sequel in this world would be awesome.
