Fated Trilogy #1 (Voyeur)
Lover from Another World
Three seductively sinful tales of lovers who are out of this world...Rachel Carrington. Her Lover's World. After two weeks of erotic dreams about wild nights spent with a darkly handsome lover, Anna meets him -- in the flesh -- in her apartment. Onyx tantalizes and teases her senses, leaving her clamoring for more. But Onyx has no time for love -- as the immortal king of a vanished world, he is fated to wander worlds and centuries in search of a new home for his people. But when he's with Anna, it's as if no one else exists -- and that passion is all he needs to survive.
While swimming in a treacherous storm, Gilly, a seal who can shed her skin to become a beautiful woman, finds the lifeless body of David Fraser. Intrigued by this incredibly attractive man, she brings him to land and revives him with her passionate kisses and warm embrace. Soon they are spending their days blissfully in each others' arms. But as a creature of the sea, Gilly cannot give herself to any man -- unless David can find a way to keep her with him forever.
To fulfill his wife Ashlyn's fantasies, Kye invites another man into their bed. A brawny Irish stallion, Connor is Kye's best friend -- and that night he secretly falls hard for Ashlyn. Three years later, Kye is killed in a car accident and Connor is at Ashlyn's side for comfort. Soon, with Kye watching from above -- willing for Ashlyn's pain to ease -- Connor and Ashlyn recreate that hot, arousing night they spent together -- leading to much more than they ever imagined.

An erotic anthology with at least two good stories...
Series
"Voyeur" (Fated Trilogy, 1)
The Stories
Rachel Carrington's "Her Lover's World"
This is a suspenseful, fantasy romance with a mystery lover appearing in Anna's bedroom and shower. Never allowing her to see him as he brings her pleasure. Until one night, Onyx does allow her to see him for it seems she is his soulmate. A woman he has waiting on for thousands of years ever since Atlantis sank. As king of Atlantis, Onyx has a responsibility to his people, a responsibility that does not include this woman.
I must confess that while I enjoyed the romanticism of it, its execution was terrible. I got in more "oh, pleases" in this story than I could count.
Carrington couldn't be bothered to work out even an unbelievable scenario to enable Anna and her son to transit worlds before she shows up in Onyx's castle. He had told her he was king and when Ezrel shows up to escort her to the king, she's clueless and afraid of this "unknown king" . . . oh, please . . . Onyx tells her she'll have to leave, she can't stay with him and yet she allows her son to be taken from her?? Gimme a break . . . Then Carrington can't keep track of Anna's panties. On an earlier page, they've been removed and now they're suddenly back on her body?
Guess Carrington was in a rush when she tossed this one off.
Elizabeth Jewell's "Lady of the Seals"
This is a cute paranormal-romance that plays with the selkie legends. Gilly is a selkie who comes across the almost-dead body of a shipwrecked seaman whom she rescues. Their love blossoms even when David discovers her dual nature and hides her coat thus preventing her from changing, preventing her from leaving him. But then Gilly becomes pregnant and her life is threatened . . .
Shiloh Walker's "Voyeur"
This is an erotic threesome that also appears in Good Things Come in Threes , another anthology. I really enjoyed this particular story for its eroticism "and" for its homey qualities. Kye truly loves Ashlyn and sees giving her this night with himself and his friend, Connor, as a gift for her pleasure. A gift that becomes necessary three years later.
The Cover
It's a bit of a shame that only two of the stories include a watery theme when there is such a hunky guy waist deep in sparkling blue water.

August 25, 2011This anthology (except for Shiloh Walker's "Voyeur" wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. Rachel Carrington and Elizabeth Jewell seem to think putting porn on paper makes up for no story line or writing skill. I gave it three stars only because Walker's story was an interesting one. Sex was overdone but the plot was a couple, Ashlyn and Kye, deeply in love, giving menage a one time try with a trusted friend, Connor, who is silently and secretly in love with Ashlyn. They don't connect again for three years, when Kye is killed in a car crash. Ashlyn grieves and Connor returns to help her. The twist is that Kye is tied to his wife and cannot continue to cross over, although he is a spirit. Fun twist.

I read the Shiloh Walker story.. I have to agree with another reviewer, a bit too raw for my tastes. The ending made no sense whatsoever.
February 28, 2011
The story by Shiloh Walker was a little too... how do I put this? There was too much sex and not enough story!
The rest of the book was good.

These are novellas in which I learned about new authors. I'd never read any of them and each story got better and better. The first Her Lover's world dealt with a ghostly lover, the second a selkie lover called Lady of the Seals (for a novella, very sweet and full of emotion), lastly Voyeur why these people wore clothes who knows! But really I liked the passion with which all the stories were told. I give the setting (surroundings if any description was given city, outdoors, whatever), story, (what the characters are invovled in) characters, overall likability, and author (if its a first time read).

I read this anthology to familiarize myself with some more new (to me) authors. This time they were Rachael Carrington, Elizabeth Jewell (read her in another Ellora's Cave anthology) and Shiloh Walker. Of the three stories, I enjoyed Carrington's the most, found Jewell's too prolonged for the premise, and Walker's too raw for my tastes.

WALKERS STORY WAS THE BEST.
February 12, 2016
Loved the first and third stories and they are the reason for the four star rating. The second story is about a two star. Just not up to par bit the other two are definitely worth a read.
