Overall Review
This was a decent addition to the Between the Sheets anthologies. I liked the longer stories, and encountered new authors whose books I will be reading. It was hot, and I read the whole book in a day. 4 stars.

Oracle Adored Review (*I received a copy of Valentine Between the Sheets in exchange for an honest review*)
Oracle Adored, by Kiera Blackwood and Liza Street, was a good story, as I got to see Sparrow and her guys again. I liked Trevor, and I am glad we got a bit of story with the hot sex. Sparrow is one of my favorite heroines, and I liked seeing her fire again. I look forward to following more of her adventures.

Well fk, that was just *starts daydreaming* ... what was I saying? Oh yeah, I was ... and ... oh I don’t remember.

The increased word count of the stories has upped the amount of steamy scenes, but hasn’t taken away from the Between The Sheets original concept. These anthologies are phenomenal and well worth the read. You’ll possibly be introduced to new authors or new stories from some of your favourite authors, which are all full of sexy scenes and perfect underlying storyline’s.
Trust me you’ll want to be alone this Valentines Day to read this collection of novelettes/novellas in Valentine Between The Sheets.
If you can’t tell this is me recommending this series then ... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VALENTINE BETWEEN THE SHEETS SOOOOO MUCH, READ IT!!!

💖 Valentine Pride by L.A. Boruff & Laura Greenwood
Valentine Pride was everything and more. It flowed really well as a co-write and I absolutely loved the story.
Leola is a captivating MC (also vegan, yay), who’s lucky enough to stumble upon some very hot shifters - Cas (I licked him), Kerry and Levon.
The storyline and characters are beautiful and intense, which is what you’d hope from this collection.
I want more from these two, and can’t wait to read what they write next (hopefully together).

💖 Beloved Heart by Skye Mackinnon
Abandoned Heart is one of my favourite books by Skye Mackinnon, so this spin-off had me hooked before I even started the story.
Emily and and her men - Luther, Ben and Alistair are adorable and intense in this story full of twists.
And just because the team have been been given an assignment, that doesn’t mean that they won’t get their chance for some sexy time. The steam will rise from the pages of this story and leave you wanting more from Em and her “hot-as-sin” guys.
Hopefully everyone has memorised the chocolate recipes from Abandoned Heart, as you’ll be needing all of that chocolatey goodness.

Valentine Pride L.A. Boruff and Laura Greenwood: Leola thinks she is a deer shifter out for a hike in the woods. She suddenly comes upon 3 men who she is inexplicably drawn to. After an afternoon of fun she goes home but finds herself thinking of the men. Being raised by adoptive parents she doesn't understand the shifter world. These men help her understand and bring so much love to her life. I really liked the story. It was cute, fun and hot. I would love to read more about Leola and her men.

The Music She Makes C.R. Jane and Mila Young: Clarissa has always felt unwanted and unloved. Her mother only using her for the prodigy child she is. Clarissa dreams of her teacher Alexander. Then she meets Jack and finds herself drawn to him too. I enjoyed this story alot. The characters are well written I definitely want to read more about Clarissa and her love interests.

Sorrow RM Walker: Sorrow needs to plan the Valentine's ball for the kingdom and is overwhelmed by the amount of work that goes into it. Add to that her best friend has just received news she is to be married to a man she doesn't care for at all. This book is fun and makes me want to read more about Sorrow and her guys.

Beloved Heart: Skye MacKinnon: Emily and her men are on the hunt for some missing royal jewels. Who did it and why will surprise you. There is some serious steam in this book. I loved it.

O-M-G Every single book in this anthology is just phenomenal and definitely worth the read. This anthology is the perfect way to be introduced to new authors and parts of series from other authors. Every single book is unique in its own way and let me say every one of them is worth the read. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book

Valentine's Day. Flowers, candy, romance, and steamy sex. Twenty-three authors have come together to create a collection of stories that would make Cupid proud. Stories included are by L.A. Boruff, Laura Greenwood, R.M. Walker, Tabitha Barret, Keira Blackwood, Liza Street, T.L. Reeve, Michele Ryan, Skye MacKinnon, T.B. Mann, Grace White, Helen Scott, Serena Akeroyd, Lacey Carter Andersen, C.A. Storm, Erica Andrews, Maggie Lee, Vannah Summers, Rae Tina, Erin O'Kane, Katie Knight, C.R. Jane, and Skyler Andra. This is a review in progress.

Valentine Pride by LA Boruff & Laura Greenwood, 3 Star
While mountain hiking Leola finds herself suddenly surrounded by 3 men, Cas, Levon, and Kerry. Instead of being scared, she is unexplainably drawn to them, recognizes that they are like her, and soon finds herself in an intimate encounter. A week later unable to focus on anything other than the men and their shared afternoon, Leola again heads to the mountain, this time to shift into her deer form and hopefully find the three men again. She gets more than she hoped for.
I am a big fan of both of these authors and expected to love their collaboration. However, this story didn't work for me. The characters are fully developed and the sexy times are steamy. However, I didn't feel any emotional connection at all. The men let Leola leave after the first encounter without a word and didn't follow or reach out to her afterward. She had to seek them out. Knowing what they knew it made me question if this was a choice of love or demanded by their shifters. They never spoke of love or even showed affection towards her. There were no assurances of or if they would remain faithful. It only seemed about sex, marking, and mating. Not for me.

Stained Hearts by Helen Scott & Serena Akeroyd

The Harpy's Gift by Lacey Carter Anderson, 5 Star
Celaeno is mated to and pregnant by three overprotective gargoyles. So when she sneaks out to get their Valentine's presents and spend a few moments on her own, she knows she risks upsetting them. When she finds herself in unexpected danger, she knows that even though she handled the danger with her own powers that they will be angry. She's not wrong. After a heated argument, Celaeno is left in tears and her men are upset. Valentine's is ruined. Or is it? A few memories, gentle reminders, compromises, and a sexy pose or two and the romance of the day is saved. Now it's time for presents and a chance at winning the title of "best present ever"!
I loved this little story. I was unfamiliar with this series but it didn't matter. I immediately fell in love with all three overbearing, overprotective, over-sized gargoyles. Their sweetness towards Celaeno and their baby more than made up for any ridiculous behavior. This made me realize that I must grab the Monsters and Gargoyles series.

Artificial Integrations: Valentina's Day by CA Storm

A Valentine's Day Revenge by Erica Andrews, 5 Star
Valentine's Day. Roses. A romantic dinner with her fiancee. Well, let's just say the evening didn't go like Jessica expected. But what started out humiliating and heartbreaking turned into the most delicious night spent with three beautiful men in a sexy adventure.
This story drew me in faster than any other story in this anthology. I was immediately captivated. All three men were mysterious and delectable. Jessica was a role model for unappreciated women worldwide. The evening was passionate. The ending was priceless. My only complaint was the unfinished feel. Will there be more? There needs to be more!

Cherished by Grace White, 4 Star
Terra and her protectors saved the world. Now she's safe, going to school, living with her guys. She has the love she always wanted. She's happy. She doesn't need them to do anything for Valentine's Day. She doesn't need the flowers and candy, the dinner, and jewelry. She has their hearts, that's enough. But her guys want to show her just how loved she is.
It was great to catch back up with Terra and her protectors. Movie night with Endo and Cael, dream-walking with Ross, and Sol finally taking a moment to open up. My only complaint is that I didn't get to spend any time with them all together as a group. I love that dynamic. No complaints about the shared moment I did get. Hot! This story made me realize that these five have more adventures to share. I feel like they need another challenge...

Vero's Lace by Maggie Lee & Vannah Summers

Love's Challenge by Tabitha Barret

Oracle Adored by Keira Blackwood & Liza Street, 4 Star
Sparrow and her four guys are searching for her sister Wren. Following a lead, they visit Freak, a shifter dance/sex club. Sparrow hones in on their target and her guys tell her to seduce him so they can get their hands on him. Sparrow finds Trevor on the dance floor but they quickly head to a more private place. The plan is for her to seduce him as a distraction but Sparrow wonders who exactly is being seduced as she gets closer to Trevor. And why are her men not stopping this?
I really enjoyed this story. I think it would be even better had I read the first book so I was more familiar with the story and characters but I was able to follow along even without having read the series. The characters were interesting and their interactions were hot! The storyline was compelling enough that I have added Oracle Defiant to my tbr list.

Sorrow's Valentine by RM Walker, 4 Star
Sorrow is planning the kingdom's Valentine's Ball nearly overwhelmed by the politics of the occasion. She's also worried about her best friend Mystral. She has received a letter from her and although it says little, Sorrow can't help but feel something is wrong. Preparations for the ball, stolen times spent with her husbands, the ball itself, and Valentine's Day occupy the next week. Conversations, shared confidences, and confessions of love are interwoven throughout.
I confess I was a bit lost at the beginning of this story. I think it would be better to read A Tale of Sorrow first. I could have used some backstory and clarification with the unfamiliar characters. Their unusual names further complicated things. I spent the first chapter confused between Sorrow's husband and her dragon. I didn't understand who Mystral was or her relationship to the others. Once I sorted the characters, I did enjoy the story. The intrigue at the ball and my suspicions about Sorrow held my attention. I do plan to read the original story so that I am fully prepared when the next story is released.

Operation: Valentine's by Rae Tina

Lupercalia by TL Reeve & Michelle Ryan

Beloved Heart by Skye MacKinnon

One Night Only by KA Knight & Erin O'Kane, 4 Star
Gabriella is the stage manager for one of the hottest male stripper acts around. The Wild Boys are made up of six incredibly hot dancers; one is her best friend, the others are her boyfriends. They are putting on a special Valentine's Day performance. One night, one show, one special meet and greet. But it's the 'after-party' Gabriella is looking forward to the most.
I was torn about this story. It was hot. No denying that. There was an intense sexual attraction between Gabriella and her men. I'm not sure it was as successful showing the emotional connection. The guys briefly said the right words but I didn't feel it like I needed to. It didn't help that the guy's characters were not defined enough. Her best friend didn't amuse me. He didn't seem much like a best friend and I found the dynamic odd. My issues could be because I couldn't share my guy's bodies with other women like this. Insecurities would destroy me. Because of this, I needed to know that the guys' entire universe revolved around Gabriella, not just sexually. Lust is easy. Love is not. It bothered me that Gabriella was so upset and never discussed it with her guys. Her feelings were valid and important to their relationship but they were pushed aside for sex. I did see that this story will be expanded into a series. Both of these authors are so talented that I fully expect each issue I have to be addressed and resolved. I do know that I will be reading the series to find out.

The Music She Makes by CR Jane, 5-Star
Daria's mother never wanted her for anything beyond the claim and fortune her talent provided. Placed on display as a piano prodigy, she has been paraded in front of adoring crowds from the time she was a small child. But now if her audition for Julliard goes as expected she has a chance to live her life for herself, find her own happiness. That is unless she loses her focus because of her attraction to her tutor Professor Alexander Miller or one of the judges, famous singer Jack Ryder.
This was my favorite story in the book. Daria drew me in immediately; talented, beautiful, lonely, hopeful. She's an enchanting lady. The characters, the sexual tension, the storyline were immediately addictive. That ending! I definitely want more.

Stupid Cupid by Skylar Andra

Dump N' Chase by TB Mann, 5 Star
Kayla is looking forward to celebrating an early Valentine's with her three husbands and give them her special present but it doesn't appear as if they are as eager. They are late for dinner and then seem more interested in the hockey game than they are their wife. Have they lost interest?
This novella is part of the Red Line Series which I love. It was wonderful to spend a little time with these four again. Hormones raging, moods swinging, frustration and sexiness. This had some of everything. Not a fan of the guy's plan but they made it up to Kayla quite nicely. And I loved how Kayla delivered her 'present' as a final statement. Perfect!

Enchanting collection of reverse harem novellas and novelettes. Quite a few of these authors are new to me, but I look forward to reading more from them in the future. Each author has approached their books in this collection in a unique way. There is such a variety of paranormals in this collection, that it would be hard to find at least one story that you liked. I received an ARC copy of this collection and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

My favourite story is Oracle Adored by Keira Blackwood and Liza Street.
Sparrow, along with her mates, Zac, Everett, Roman and Drake set out to search for information about Wren. You would think that four mates would keep Sparrow busy, but it seems that fate has something else in mind. Enter Trevor, half wolf and half witch, will he be able to persuade Sparrow that she belongs to him as well? I enjoyed this story and highly recommend it. I look forward to reading the next book in this series.

The review relates only to One Night Only by K.A Knight and Erin O'Kane
This is a great, hot and steamy short story that was initially published as an introduction to the series and it is a glimpse into one day in the character's busy lives. It occurs after The Wild Interview, and I am glad I didn't read it before as it would take away some of the suspense from the first book.
The relationships, inter-character dynamics, and the work routine are well established by now and the story revolves around their performance on the Valentine's Day. It is super hot and steamy and not for the faint of heart. The authors' imagination does not seize to amaze me and I loved it as much as the first book. 
The ending hints at a very interesting family reunion which I can't wait to see and together with the cliffhanger from the first book, the authors promise a very exciting sequel. I can't wait to see what happens next!
It is best read after The Wild Interview.

The Music She Makes by C.R. Jane and Mila Young: WOW!! I was sucked into this story and the characters from the first words. I’m so sad it it was so short. I really need more of this and was glad to see it will be continued. Everything C.R. writes is gold and just gets better and better. I am so thankful and grateful to have found her. Another amazing world she’s created and the rest of the story cannot come soon enough.

This compilation has such a wide variety. Even if you dont like one if the stories, you can just go to the next one and it's always something completely different. Some are paranormal, some are not. From gargoyles, to fae, dragons, to a piano player, ex nanny, and more. Some stories are light hearted, and some intense. I cant imagine anyone not finding a story in here that they wont like. For anyone who enjoys reverse harems, I'm positive you will find at least one, if not all, stories to love.

Another wonderful between the sheets anthology! I usually am interested in a few stories from authors I know, but I always find additional authors and characters to fall in love with. I believe the novelettes/novellas provided here are longer than in the original between the sheets anthology providing a wonderful background for steamy scenes and world building. If you want sexy scenes and a way to explore new authors, this is a wonderful anthology to do that!

This review is for "Beloved Heart" by Skye MacKinnon.
"Beloved Heart" is a wonderful extension to the book “Abandoned Heart.”
Emily and her men are on an investigation into missing royal jewelry. A great combination of mystery and romance with some very steamy, sexy scenes.
I received an ARC from the author. This is my honest review.

This is a great addition to the Between the Sheets collections. These stories are a little longer than previous anthologies, more room for extra steamy scenes.
I love being able to catch up again with characters I already know and love, as well as meet new ones and new authors.

loved most but not dump and chase.

A lot of my favorite authors? Count me in. I enjoyed the books I did read except the last one. Dump and chase. I feel like the characters ruined Valentine’s Day. I don’t care if they thought it was romantic but ruining her dinner, she couldn’t even share her exciting news in a good way. She just tossed it out at the end. ignoring her, making her upset and cry doesn’t seem romantic to me. I felt so bad. And. Don’t think s3x makes up for the pain and self doubt they reopened.
