A series of erotic tales by various erotic writers (Day, Jackson, etc.) make up this book (read as a Kindle e-book). Some have paranormal overtones, some have futuristic overtones, but most are boy-meets-girl and they get together for hot sex. Some could be fleshed out into full-blown novels/novellas, but because they are short stories, each is a quick read that can read be as desired. Some are better than others, but there is enough there to cause some "hot flashes".

I wasn't very into this anthology. I think I liked two stories, maximum, but that's about it.
Curiously, they were both the only paranormal romances in the book and I'm not usually into that. Maybe they were interesting because they were out of this world? I don't know.
What I do know is that the "normal" ones bored me.

“Peaches and Cream” by Cathryn Fox
Jennifer Angel, a psychology student and bartender for an exclusive erotic club, agrees to be set up on a blind date with Jack Miller. When her best friend suggests she Google® Jack, Jennifer decides to look up herself as well. And when she discovers there’s a stripper Jennifer Angel, aka Peaches, Jennifer decides to take a chance and act out her wildest fantasies.
The premise of “Peaches and Cream” is a delightful one. A sassy heroine gets to act out her deepest fantasies with a gorgeous hero and, for part of the tale, his best friend. Yet while the plot sounds fun, I never really got into the story itself. Cathryn Fox piles one erotic encounter after another, which would be fine if I had any emotional connection with the either Jack or Jennifer, which I didn’t. While the sex scenes were hot, the way in which they were presented seemed to me a bit awkward at times. In particular, the ménage scene seemed a bit forced, as if it were included for the sake of having a ménage scene. The story indicated there was a romantic connection between Jennifer and Jack, but it strained credulity that I was supposed to believe the two had such a connection purely because Ms. Fox told me so; in other words, I didn’t feel it. I have read another of Ms. Fox’s stories before and enjoyed it, but “Peaches and Cream” was just not for me.
“Indecent Exposure” by Delilah Devlin
Trouble has come back into town in the form of Harmony Wilkins. She’s had a crush on Sheriff Dalton McDonough since they were in high school and she’s returned home, determined to get her man. Even if she has to risk arrest to do it.
There’s something fun about a heroine brazen enough to strip down and skinny-dip in strangers pools in order to catch her dream man’s attention. “Indecent Exposure” has the potential to be a sexy, fun story. Dalton is the archetypal alpha male who will take charge of his hellion heroine when needed. Harmony starts out as entertaining, but her boldness quickly becomes trying. I felt that I should like Harmony, since she’s the heroine of the story, but she seemed to lack depth. Though it fizzled out, “Indecent Exposure” definitely appeals to the sense of “what if” when thinking about that elusive high school crush so many of us had.
“Forbidden Fruit” by Lisa Renee Jones
When her brother’s sexy best friend moves back into town, Laura Cameron decides it’s time to make her move. For years sexual tension has built between her and Blake Alexander, but fear of her brother’s reaction has kept Laura and Blake apart. But now Matt has roped Blake into participating in a charity bachelor auction – a masked charity auction – and Laura’s not letting a good opportunity pass her by.
“Forbidden Fruit” sizzles with the hero and heroine’s previously unrequited passion finally being fulfilled. Lisa Renee Jones definitely turned up the heat between the very likeable Blake and Laura. The only problem I had with the story is that it seemed to heavily rely on the protagonists’ fear of Matt’s reaction to their relationship. Given Matt’s character, this fear seemed unfounded and therefore it came across as an obvious plot point. Yet, all in all I enjoyed “Forbidden Fruit.” The characters were endearing, the sex hot, and Ms. Jones’s writing style fluid, making for a satisfying read.
“Billboard Babe” by Myla Jackson
Angie Jordan can’t believe what she’s just done. She and Daniel Adams have been tasked with creating an ad to bring up their advertising agency’s sales during Christmas. Taking a risk, A.J. comes up with an ad on her own featuring an alluring woman in a sexy, traffic-stopping red dress. When Daniel, the man A.J.’s secretly in love with, sees the giant ad, he’s struck by the gorgeous “Billboard Babe.” To A.J., Daniel’s reaction to the model is the sign she needs to seduce the man of her dreams. Because “Billboard Babe” is her.
Myla Jackson heats up the workplace with this sensual, charming story. A.J. is an endearing heroine who is easy to identify with. She and all those around her have gotten so used to her job and work attire that the woman she is beneath has gotten buried beneath the plain suits and pinned back hair. A.J. isn’t magically changed by her “Billboard Babe” persona; it just gives her the confidence she needs to take what she wants. And what she wants is Daniel.
What I love about Daniel is that he isn’t just attracted to the “Babe” side of A.J. Though she doesn’t know it, Daniel had been fantasizing about A.J. long before she donned the slinky red dress. It made the connection between them feel more powerful, the love story more believable in that the ad just gave the pair the extra push they needed.
“Billboard Babe” is an utterly delightful story. It’s both sexy and sweet and has two incredibly likeable protagonists whom I couldn’t help but adore.
“Wish upon a Star” by Sasha White
Professional Dominatrix Sarah Williams excels at what she does, but lately her life has been a bit empty. When she wishes on a falling star for her soul mate, she doesn’t actually expect for her wish to come true. Nor does she expect her soul mate to be an out-of-this-world commander.
“Wish upon a Star” combines D/s eroticism with a touch of science fiction for a story that should work. Yet, though all the elements are present and I enjoyed Sasha White’s writing style, “Wish upon a Star” never truly captured my attention. Sarah certainly had potential, but when paired with the fairly one-dimensional Nealon, the spark I hoped to see in her never surfaced. I liked that Nealon appreciated Sarah’s strength, but I never truly felt their connection as I should have.
“That Old Black Magic” by Sylvia Day
Once, warlock Max Westin had been charged by the Council to collar or kill Victoria St. John, a feline Familiar who had gone feral after the death of Darius, her warlock. Now, Max and Victoria have angered the Council by choosing their love for one another over the Council’s dictates. Their bond is as strong as ever, Max and Victoria are determined to take down the Triumvirate, those that killed Darius, and the Council is refusing to help. But when facing an enemy that draws its power from the Source of All Evil, will one warlock and his Familiar be able to survive?
Love, lust, action, and danger – “That Old Black Magic” has it all. Sylvia Day has penned an erotic thrill-ride that captivates from start to finish.
Max and Victoria’s story began in “A Familiar Kind of Magic” in the first Alluring Tales anthology. Though I haven’t read the first story, Ms. Day provided enough information that I was able to follow along with ease. What drew me to “That Old Black Magic” is that I could not only feel the bond between the lovers, but as the story went on I could see their love for one another deepening. I was completely engaged in the tale because I felt connected to the characters, wanted to make sure they’d survive the seemingly impossible odds stacked against them. The trials and pain, both past and present, that Max and Victoria endure and overcome make “That Old Black Magic” both heartbreaking and heartwarming. Enchanting!
“Silver Waters” by Vivi Anna
It’s been two years since Sangria Silver and Vance Verona were able to escape from First Lady Maxine Madison. But the lovers’ luck has just run out – Maxine’s man has found them. They escaped Maxine’s clutches once. Will Sangria and Vance be able to do it again?
“Silver Waters” is a continuation of the story “Quick Silver” from the first Alluring Tales anthology. Though I was able to follow along with the tale, by not having read the first story I feel I missed the emotional component, which would make me connect with the characters. Sangria and Vance had the potential to be interesting, but fell short of that mark. Perhaps the story would have benefited from a longer format so the characters, villain and hero alike, would feel more three-dimensional. While “Silver Waters” did not appeal to me, fans of “Quick Silver” should enjoy it.
Overall, Alluring Tales: Hot Holiday Nights was not, for me, quite as tempting as the title suggests. All seven tales are erotic, to be sure, and fans of each of these authors will likely enjoy these vignettes. I thoroughly enjoyed Lisa Renee Jones, Myla Jackson, and Sylvia Day’s contributions to this anthology and will be on the lookout for more of their work in the future.

So sorry I even started this anthology. There are 7 "sensual" stories. So far, I have read three and apparently "sensual" means raw, down and dirty sex.
"Peaches and Cream" by Cathryn Fox , 40 pages
Jennifer takes her blind date to her bartending job (Stripper Club), to change clothes, but they end up having sex on stage in front of the audience ??? But then Jack invites his friend to join the threesome without asking Jen if it was ok. Shocked and put on the spot, Jen goes along with it. I had a problem with that.
2) Indecent Exposure by Delilah Devlin, 59 pages.
Harmony is a high school senior and she has been stalking Dalton, the quarterback. He does not know she exists. She watches him have sex with another girl and ends up arrested.
To get his attention, she begins swimming nude in their neighbors pools????
Years later he is the sheriff. Rather than arrest her, they engage in the type of sex that will make you lose your lunch. Yeah I'm done!!!!!

This Anthology is for titillating erotic reading. Not a deep seated romance. People shouldn't read to much into these stories! This is for fun!
If you're looking for serious, my advice, you need to move on.
Cathryn- 3.5 stars. Short and interesting.
Delilah- 4.5 stars. I loved this one. The sarcasm and everything. This is my kind of story! Definite reread!
Lisa- 3 stars. Decent read.
I skipped on Myla's story.
Sasha- 3 stars. The story was rushed. I found it bland.
Vivi-Anna- 3 stars. Decent read.

Well call me allured. These are all short and hot with a variety of tropes. Not much depth. There’s some different stuff in there, which I appreciated. I miss the days of Sylvia Day writing paranormal stories.

GREAT short stories
I Liked all the stories, loved several. My fav was Mila Jackson's "Billboard Babe". This book is all about Christmas stories full of forever love. Linda

Lisa Renee Jones is one of my go-to authors. She never disappoints. As with all multiple author books there are some good ones and some disappointing ones.

Meh
It was ok but very limited on passion in many of the stories. I would like to have seen more in-depth stories.

Quick reads.
Cute and quick little tales. Very fantasy though. Not too real life in my opinion. You could finish the whole book quickly.

Most of these short stories were not for me
November 20, 2012
Saldo positivo, embora alguns contos eróticos deixem muito a desejar.
“Peaches and Cream” por Cathryn Fox. Se tirarmos partes do início e o modo como Jennifer e Jack se encontram, que é tão corny que foi impossível não me escangalhar a rir, é um conto muito razoável. Boas descrições e ritmo de narrativa. A estória em si não é nada de transcendente, mas está bem justificada a nível psicológico. 3 Estrelas
"Indecent Exposure" por Delilah Devlin. As descrições não são tão boas como o conto anterior but it has some funny shit. lol Para começar tem duas palavras que nunca pensei ser juntas num conto erótico: Chuck e Norris. Acaba por ser um história muito cómica. 3 Estrelas
"Forbiddent Fruit" por Lisa Renee Jones. Lamechas demais, com muitos clichés ao estilo de comédia romântica. 2 Estrelas
"Billboard Babe" por Myla Jackson. A história em si não é má de todo, mas tem tantos clichés e palha... Além disso as cenas de sexo não são das melhores. Não obstante, sempre é melhorzinho que o "Forbiddent Fruit". 2,3 Estrelas.
"Wish upon a star" por Sasha White. Começo fraco, meio bom e final... razoável, na melhor das hipóteses. Pelo menos BDSM faz sentido e as personagens não são secantes. 2,7 Estrelas.
"That Old Black Magic" por Sylvia Day. Parece tirado das fantasias de uma adolescente insegura. Nem quero acreditar que foi escrito por uma adulta. 1,5 Estrelas, com muito boa vontade.
"Silver Waters" por Vivi Anna. Boas descrições, boa história e personagens interessantes, sem serem extraordinárias. Não obstante, com tudo o que ouvi desta escritora estava à espera de algo mais elaborado. Mesmo assim, 3,5 Estrelas.

I really enjoyed these short stories! Some better then others. Very juicy sexy tales. What I liked is the descriptive terminology along with the fact that the characters in each story are so deeply in love. I read this book pretty quickly for me. On a scale of 1-10 on steaminess, I'd say it's an 8. My least favorite I think was the Billboard short story. I found it a bit annoying. It's about a woman who's everyday attire for her work isn't seen as sexy or beautiful basically she isn't even noticed by her co-workers. Simply because she is plain. Then for an advertising ad they snap a very sexy picture of her in a red dress hair down for a gigantic billboard outside their business building. It literally stops traffic! No one at her work knows it's her? Really? Interesting.... She has deep feelings for a man at work but he is obsessed with that fantasy billboard of her! What does this mean? That people are truly superficial? Mainly men. Since in this story the men only see a gigantic sexy woman on display, not the one that talks to them everyday by their side. She is still the same girl. Maybe that billboard is a fantasy for the men. I think what this story is trying to say is in each of us lies that inner uninhibited free spirited woman wanting to be seen! I just don't like that no ones seems to notice or care about her nor finds her attractive as her everyday working self. Overall the sex made up for my ranting here! :)

Combination of modern day and paranormal tales. Sizzling tales that range from a repressed advertising executive who declares her blossoming on an enormous billboard to a warlock and his familiar who have a different kind of threesome. Most of stories end too quickly without all of the loose ends tied up but probably to whet one's appetite for more.

I loved most of these stories! A few had a bit of kink and they were good, but some of the kink I don't usually go for reading. I do know that were all well written!!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Alright. I was suuuper disappointed that the Sylvia Day story was the worst one in here since that's what attracted me in the first place -.- Some of the other stories were pretty good though!
