[Amber Eckstein · Rating 4 out of 5]

It had a little bit of everything in it, some of the books were better than others.

[Dana Busenbark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Silent Sky by Regina Kammer - Jennie and Scott meet at her 30th Birthday party when her friends throw a "Bring a Single Guy" party for her birthday. He's late, due to working on class work for his MBA. What happens next between them is something I think most little girls dream about finding. Suddenly, her world is turned upside down as 9/11 hits. She watches the second tower crash down. What happens to her? What happens to Scott? Is he one of the lucky ones or does she lose her chance for kids and loving the love of her life for the rest of their lives?

Homeward Bound by Alexa Silver - We pick up the story of Bry and Kell again, after having met them in the Naughty Escapes Anthology. We know from the first anthology Bryson is in the closet still as a bi-sexual man. What happens when he brings Kell home to meet his parents? Why does he drop him off at Starbucks and what happens there? What does Bry's family say about his being bisexual? The reaction is priceless and not at all what I was expecting!

Lady Esther's Lesbian Lover by Berengaria Brown - What happens when Lady Esther Barrington decides she is too old, not rich enough and not beautiful enough to land herself a husband after a failed season of making a match with her older brother's help? Once her season is done, she moves back to her childhood home with her oldest brother and his wife, and their two children. The twins from next door, who's father has passed and was a good friend to her brother Stephen, have a governess, Cessie. How does life change for Esther, when her brother holds a ball for her to introduce her to the local society, so that she may acquaint herself with those that she will be living around? Jut what does Stephen's wife know about the friendship between Esther and Cessie as it has grown? It is great to see her suggest some of the things that she does, helping their friendship to grow stronger.

Renovating the Relationship by Katerine Kingston - Brad and Drew live together in a rather large house. Neither is a good cook or housekeeper. An old friend of Brad's needs some relief from monetary issues and he recommends her to Drew to interview as a cook and housekeeper. Apparently she was married to a man named Tom that she met after her relationship with Brad did not work out quite as she needed things to be. What happens when she meets Brad again, while she's interviewing with Drew? Brad takes care of the gardens, and is working on bringing them back to life. Does the love still exist between Brad and Dani? Where does Drew figure into the equation with them, other than as Employer? Read this wonderfully erotic story.

Part 2: The Wyndmaster's Homecoming by Charlotte Boyett-Compo - Once again we see Marisol and Santos embroiled in issues. This story picks up where the first one in Naughty Escapes leaves off. She is on a rescue mission. Does she succeed or fail? What happens to Santos, how close to death is he? What happens to the Princess that had the audacity to steal his ship and lie to him by stealing a uniform? What does her father do about her transgressions? What does Marisol come up with as a truly perfect punishment for the pampered Princess and what does she say to the father that he capitulates? Read and see what happens. I'm grinning from ear to ear with the end result.

Back In Your Arms by Marianne Stephens - Brian appears to be a general contractor of sorts in a small town. Years before, his father was the banker in that town, and a girl he loved, Liz and her parents owned a B&B there in town. The bank had to foreclose on it. One day, Mrs. Morton comes in, wanting to buy the former B&B, and has stipulated in the contract that Brian be on hand every day, he does the work, and oversees everything. Who is this Mrs. Morton that comes in, and is making him jump through all these hoops to get this former B&B back to it's glory days?

My Cups Runneth Over by Francesca Hawley - Once upon a time, Brook and Delia were seeing one another, and probably would have married, until a tarot reading done for Brook and a premonition. This caused him to cast Delia out of his life. Years later, they run into one another at a friend's wedding. They're both part of the joining ceremony for the couple. Can they work out what happened? Can he put his fears aside, and listen to what the tarot cards from his personalized deck are telling him, or does the premonition get in the way?

Ocean Dreams by Suz DeMello - This is one of those crazy little love stories that will have you giggling your way through the book. Especially when you find out who Blue is to Sandi. How does she know him and when was the last time she saw him? Oh my goodness! This book is a hoot! I so was NOT expecting what happened in the middle of her time swimming with a dolphin! What happens when a former boss shows up at the B&B she's staying at with a uniformed person, looking for something she 'clearly' does not have tucked away in her shower? This is one of the cutest books I have read. Lots of fun.

Hybrid Mates 5: Take Me Home by Nicole Austin - A lioness, wanting to be free and run, Chloe's father ruled the local pride of lions. He banished her after she had been raped and forced into a mating with the bite that he gave her. It took years for her to go back and visit her family, but when she did, what was waiting for her was a shock for everyone! What a wonderfully inspirational story about overcoming adversity and race.

A free reading copy of this book was provided to me in exchange for my honest review. I RECEIVED THIS BOOK AS A GIFT FOR A FAIR/HONEST REVIEW and REVIEWER FOR Bloggin' With M.Brennan.

[Lizabeth Tucker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nine stories of lovers reuniting and finding their other halves. Another great collection of stories from the group of writers known collectively as Naughty Literati. I give the collection 4 out of 5.


"Silent Sky" by Regina Kammer. (m/f) After the Towers fell, Jennie thought her husband had perished in them. As she grieves, she remembers how she first met Scott and how his job began to affect their marriage and love life. I don't like heroes and/or heroines who commit adultery, so that did affect my reaction to this story. Kammer has, however, provided a well-written tale about a horrible day. 3.5 out of 5.


"Homeward Bound" by Alexa Silver. (m/m) Sequel to "Get Away" found in the NAUGHTY ESCAPES collection. Popular actor/director Bryson Ossnick has decided it is time to come out as bisexual. His lover, musician Kellen Petric is thrilled, but isn't certain Bry is ready for all that comes with the reveal. I really love catching up with Bry and Kel. It would be great to continue checking in on the two men to see how Bry's decision affects them, both professionally and personally. Both men are well-drawn and relatable. I enjoy them both! 4.5 out of 5.


"Lady Esther's Lesbian Lover" by Berengaria Brown. (f/f) Too old, not beautiful, and with a portion barely adequate, Lady Esther Barrington had no marriage prospects. She wasn't really disappointed as, deep inside, she knew she was more attracted to women. Cecilia Aylmer was a very well-educated vicar's daughter who was governess to Lady Esther's nieces and nephews, Cessie and Esther begin as friends, then become so much more. Erotic, but not overly graphic. A meeting of two women outside the norm who seem to have an understanding helper. 3.5 out of 5.


"Renovating the Relationship" by Katherine Kingston. (m/f/m) Brad Carpenter knows his boss, Drew Robertson, needs someone to supervise the mansion renovations. He suggests widow Dani Scott, a woman he loved, but lost because he couldn't supply the type of intense pain she desired. Now he has an idea that will give them both what they want. Very hot, a unique solution to a difficult problem. I am pleased that Drew will be getting his own story as I'm intrigued by the character. 4.5 out of 5.


"The Wyndmaster's Homecoming, Part 2" by Charlotte Boyett-Compo. (m/f) Continuing the story begun in NAUGHTY ESCAPES collection. Major Marisol Diaz rescues her player lover Santos Cabrera from the prison planet. Santos has plenty of time to think about their relationship as he heals. A nice finish, with Marisol as both the rescuer and the solver of Santos' many problems. Extremely hot at the end. 3.5 out of 5.


"Back in Your Arms" by Marianne Stephens. (m/f) Brian Benson is surprised that his new client is the woman he once loved, but lost after his father's bank foreclosed on her family's home. Elizabeth Morton is fixing up the place to give back to her parents. Started out very strong, but soon lost what could've been an interesting conflict, falling instead into a series of sexual encounters with a touch of spanking. 3 out of 5.


"My Cups Runneth Over" by Francesca Hawley. (m/f) Brook Linden had left the woman he loved to avoid causing her death. As the years moved on, he focused on his glass-making art. Now the Tarot cards are predicting marriage. Delia Heath meets Brook again at a joining ceremony. Maybe they have a second chance. Sweet and hot, all in one. Brook's struggles to keep Delia safe are understandable, but what he *saw* was just waiting for him. 4 out of 5.


"Ocean Dreams" by Suz deMello. (m/f) Sandi Ricks returned to see dolphin Blue and is convinced to come in the water with him. Boy, does she get a big surprise when doing so! LOVED the tip of the writing hat to the original Ivan Tors series FLIPPER as well as the two films that preceded it. A generation of children came to love and respect the ocean creatures. An unusual shifter tale that also touches on the movement to free or, at the very least, improve the lives of the acquatic creatures in captivity. 4 out of 5.


"Take Me Home" by Nicole Austin. (m/f) Hybrid Mates 5. Chloe Stanis brought her son Cody to a family get-together, the first real contact since she was raped at 16 and thrown out of the pride by her father. She is terrified when she recognizes her new stepbrother, Declan Andris, as he mate. Told in first person, we see that Chloe may be damaged, but she was strong enough to survive and raise her son on her own. But to have happily ever after, Declan must convince her that she is safe with him. And then there is Leo, her father, appearing at the reunion. 4 out of 5.

Satisfyingly naughty tales of reunion

SILENT SKY by Regina Kammer ♥♥♥
When the tragedy of 9/11 hits Jennie is left reminiscing her romance and marriage to Scott. Like so many marriages it started out hot and steamy, but life and careers have gotten in the way of their relationship. Now Scott is in NYC, very probably in the towers when they fell. Did she even tell him she loved him before he left? Will she ever see him again? Is there a chance to resurrect what they had?

HOMEWARD BOUND by Alexa Silver ♥♥♥♥
Bry and Kell are coming home… home from Barcelona. Coming out is on the horizon. First on the agenda is telling Bry’s family and introducing them to Kell. Nerves are taut. The stress is high. But love is definitely in the air.

LADY ESTHER’S LESBIAN LOVER by Berengaria Brown ♥♥♥♥
Lady Esther sacrificed her prime years as a debutante to the care of her father. Now she has had her season and she can’t exactly say that she isn’t happy when it doesn’t result in an offer of marriage. When it comes down to it, she really isn’t interested in men. Not that she has any experience with women either.

Cecilia “Cessie” Aylmer, daughter of a vicar and governess to Esther’s brother, Stephen and his wife, Patience has no interest in men either. When the two meet there is instant attraction and heat. When they finally kiss I was reminded of a song… I Kissed a girl and I liked it.

While an f/f romance isn’t really my thing, this was a great story. Bottom line it’s all about the romance and the relationship regardless of gender or sexual preference.

RENOVATING THE RELATIONSHIP by Katherine Kingston ♥♥♥♥♥
Brad has loved Dani for years but he hadn’t been able to give her what she needed when they were younger. Now she is widowed and available once more and perhaps he has the solution to meeting her needs. Perhaps they can have a second chance with the help of their employer, Drew.

PART 2: THE WYNDMASTER’S HOMECOMING by Charlotte Boyett-Compo ♥♥♥♥♥
May I suggest you never piss off a Riezell Guardian by harming her man? When Marisol discovers Santos has been imprisoned on Hell 12 because of an indiscretion with an overindulged princess she’s off to the rescue and out for a little revenge. Pity one poor princess who’s about to get a comeuppance.

BACK IN YOUR ARMS by Marianne Stephens ♥♥♥♥
Liz has her mind set on reclaiming and restoring her family’s inn. The question is… Is she doing it for them or for herself? When she hires her old lover Brian to do the renovations things get heated and leave her questioning the past and her motivation.

MY CUPS RUNNETH OVER by Francesca Hawley ♥♥♥♥
Five years ago the cards and a premonition predicted the death of the woman he loved. So he left. Now the cards tell him marriage is in his near future, but how can he possibly marry anyone other than Delia? Perhaps the Lord and Lady have decided upon a second chance at love. It sure appears that way when Brook runs into Delia again at his cousin’s joining ceremony.

OCEAN DREAMS by Suz deMello ♥♥♥♥
Years ago Sandi worked at the marina as a teenager. She despaired at the way the animals were treated, especially her Blue. The dolphin was her best friend. Now after years of study getting her degree as a marine scientist and veterinarian she has returned to check in on Blue. She sure didn’t expect her clandestine trip to the marina one night to result in the discovery that Blue was a dolphin shifter. Nor did she expect the joy that comes in loving him.

TAKE ME HOME by Nicole Austin ♥♥♥♥♥
Chloe and her cub have come home. It’s been five years since her mate was slain and she was exiled. She has no reason to trust in the male gender. Not after being callously used by her mate and brutally betrayed by her father. But, oh how she wants to trust when she first spies her mate… her new stepbrother. But, dare she? Will Declan prove to be the male she has always craved? Finding out may prove a trial and the past is definitely not dead and buried. Perhaps it’s time it was.

[DebbieReadsBooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarin I Dig Good Books. I was gifted my copy of this anthology.

9 books in this set, from the authors in the Naughty Literati group. I didn't read one, because I knew very quickly I wasn't going to like it, and I didn't read the last, which is a step sibling story and a personal hate of mine.

There are two recurring couples from the Naughty Escapes collect, Bryson and Kellan, In the Homeward Bound story and Marisol and her lover (I'm sorry, I forget his name!) in The Wyndmasters Escape.

All the other 5 couples are new, and I enjoyed them as much as catching up.

I stand by what I said in my Naughty Escapes review, 9 books will never get individual reviews and only one stood out for me here.

Lady Esther's Lesbian Lover, by Berengaria Brown. I thoroughly enjoyed this, set in a time where I find all things about proper ladies somewhat amusing. The things that are expected of ladies of that era is beyond belief. But Esther and Cecilia seem to have found each other just when they both needed it. I'd like to catch up with them at a later date.

I still want to read longer pieces of work by some of these authors, and some I can pass over.

BUT a great little bundle, with BBW, Contemporary, F/F, M/M, New Adult, Paranormal, Regency, Shape-shifter, Speculative Fiction & Stepbrother Romance. Something for everyone, even if they are not all for you.

And for the current price of 99p/99c (Oct 28th 2015) a bargain if ever there was one.

4 stars overall.

**same worded review will appear on Goodreads, Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com**

A Terrific Set of Sweet, Sexy, Funny and Steamy Reads
This box set has nine really great romance reads. All of the books are quick, fun steamy, romantic and different reads, that each very easily make you feel as if you've read a full length book. I also found myself a few new to me authors to watch out for. You have something for everyone from straight up romance, to the paranormal to out there futuristic tales and everything in between. I can not tell you how much I liked every story, which is unusual for a collection, often there are at least one or two that are kind of nah... to me but I really liked all of the stories included in this set. My favorite was Silent Sky by Regina Kammer. It was very emotional for me and I just felt very involved in the story and found myself very much able to relate to Jennie. I definitely recommend this collection and as of the writing of this review you really can't beat the deal, on Amazon it is only 99c and FREE on Kindle Unlimited! I was generously provided a complimentary copy of this book for an honest review.

Another entertaining box set from the Naughty Literati. It’s like opening a gift box of gourmet chocolates. You don’t know what you’re going to get, but you know you’re going to love it!

This box set is based on the hesitation and hopeful joy of reuniting with lost loves. Nine erotic stories with an emphasis on romance whether they be set in real life, the paranormal or the furthest reaches of space, this collection has something for everyone. And all for the tiny price of only $1! Talk about fantastic value for money and a wonderful way to explore this talented group of authors, all in one neat package.

If you’re a fan of the Naughty Literati as I am, you’ll be delighted that some much loved characters from previous box sets make a welcome return as their stories continue.

Sexy, steamy and sweet. Blissful sigh…

[Sheri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Naughty Reunions: Return to Romance offers the reader a variety of quick steamy reads. There are nine different stories that will get your juices flowing, from the sweet encounters to steamy exploits but all are fantastic. The box set also gives the reader a chance to get introduced to new authors. There was actually three authors who's stories I enjoyed so much, I started to read some of their other works.

I applaud the authors because unlike some other box sets I have read and reviewed, which tend to be either totally over the top, this set was so diverse. It offered BBW, Basic Contemporary, F/F, M/M,Paranormal (not my personal fave but it was a good story),Shape-shifter and Stepbrother Romance.
I would strongly suggest you to pick up this bundle (the price is also fantastic)if you are looking for something that can get you juices flowing.

[Judy Miracle · Rating 4 out of 5]

In this box set there are 9 stories that range from sweet to steamy but they are all amazing reads. With this box set I was introduced to some new authors that I know I will be following and reading in the future.

This book had stories with Contemporary Romance, F/F, M/M, Stepbrothers as well as soem that were never on my list to read before like Paranormal and Shape shifter's. So if you are like me and read a range of different Romance Genre this box set is for you.

Although I cannot say for certain I will be reading more Paranormal and Shape Shifter books the stories in this box set were good.

[Geri · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a terrific anthology with something for everyone! I enjoy collections where no matter genre you like you can find a few in it and this set has that. From stepbrother to shifter.....it is in here! Each story is short, but each is very well written. One of my favorites was Back In Your Arms by Marianne Stephens. The stories about lost loves and being given second chances always gets me! Also, the heat between Liz and Brian is electric! This is a perfect set to keep on your kindle and when you are waiting for an appointment, open this up and pick one to take you away while you wait!

[Michelle Austin · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is definitely an 18+ read. Lots of hot and steamy hook-ups.

[CDBW · Rating 4 out of 5]

From what I've read so far, I've enjoyed this anthology. It's a nice mix of some great steamy stories. My favorites so far were Silent Sky and Homeward Bound. I haven't completed all stories as of yet and as I do, I will update my review accordingly. I give this a 4 Crazy Ass Stars. Below are my reviews broken down by story.

Silent Sky - 5 stars

This was such an emotional story for me. I didn't experience the loss first hand but having a husband who is an airline pilot, 9/11 really holds a strangle hold on my heart. Jennie and Scott's story really pulled on that hold and I was able to easily connect with everything Jennie went through.


Homeward Bound - 5 stars

I didn't read Bry and Kell's story in the first anthology they were presented in but regardless I enjoyed this quick bit on them. It was easy to get lost in Bry's anxiousness.


Lady Esther's Lesbian Lover - DNR

I didn't really read this entirely because I'm not really into historical romances. Just not my cup of tea. What I did skim through, I did like. I may just have to read this when I'm done.


Renovating the Relationship - 5 stars.

Enjoyed this one a lot. Kinda wished it was a bit longer though. I didn't want it to end. To say it was hot would be an understatement.


The WyndMaster's Homecoming - DNR

I skipped this one because I want to read the first part of the story from Naughty Escapes. I will adjust my review after.


Back in Your Arms - 3.5 stars

I enjoyed this one as well. Felt it needed something more but overall liked the story.


My Cup Runneth Over -DNR

Will update review when completed.


Ocean's Dreams - DNR

Will update review when completed.


Take Me Home - DNR

Not sure about this one as I'm not into fantasy but I may just give it a try.

[Kathy Wideman · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great box set. Each book is a quick fun, steamy read. If you don't have a lot of time to read but you want to, this is the box set for you. Each story feels complete but doesn't take long to read. Some are steamier than others but they are all great. There is a great mix of genres as well. Some regular romance, shifter, paranormal, futuristic, and more. I can't say enough about it and I will be looking at their other box sets. Great way to get introduced to new authors as well. Great work!
