This part of the review is for the short story “Valhalla Bound” by Erin Bedford in this set; I will update as I read more. I’ve read many books by this author, and she never disappoints. I was surprised at how the short story progressed in a good way; I never thought that would happen. Ashleigh was an interesting character as were her love interests. I hope the author makes a longer version of this as she has before as I’d like to get to know them better. This is a great introduction to the author’s writing; give it a try!

This part of the review is for “Hades’ Goddess” by Mila Young in this set; I will continue to update. This story was a nice follow-up Ms. Young’s Harem of the Gods series. I think Hades was probably my favorite of the gods, and it was good to see him again. I think Elyse should have been over her angst, but since I’ve never been a….well, read the book to find out…I probably wouldn’t know! I also loved the glimpse of other gods in this. If you love hot and steamy paranormal romances, give this author a try!

I do recommend this set! I was provided the e-books which I voluntarily reviewed.

I really enjoy reading about mythology, so I absolutely loved this anthology of different mythologies. Really intriguing new ideas, short stories of previously loved characters, and amazing authors.

I need more

I had to get this book because CR Jane had a story in it and well I have to read everything she writes,I'm obsessed lol. Mila Young is still pretty new to me, but so far shes also outstanding !
My review:
Follow me into the dark- CR Jane is amazing!Elena is forced to live with what she believed to be a cult as a sacrafice her ancestors signed up for.Enter some familiar names, Cerebus, Hermes, Charon, and the best Hades. I have to be honest and say I stalk this Author , but for very good reason! She writes such amazing books ! Hades is looking for Persephone and believes Elena to be her reincarnation. Elena maintains herself, but let's go to Hades and sees the man who is hurting, in need of healing. Nothing is ever easy and I anticipate issues from Aphrodite and Zeus as they weave into the storyline. Hades can't get past Elena not being Persephone and it may end up costing him the only happiness he has known since Persephone died. There are some signs that she may carry the same attributes , but the story isnt finished yet, the rest a promise of more to come and I'm sure I'll be waiting for it !
Hades Goddess- Mila Young..I really enjoyed this story! It's part of the Gods and Monsters series and if you haven't read those do it NOW!  Elyse and her 4 Gods are amazing...the others on Mt. Olympus maybe not so much. Trying to force someone to be someone they aren't and give up the most important things in life to live on Mt.Olympus is not something Elyse takes well. This story flows well and is a great addition to the series ! I'm a new Mila junky , but so far loving this ladies talent !

*** No Spoilers ***
I found that 7 out of 8 stories were amazing. I'm going to list the name of the story and the author, plus how many I gave each story. Let's get started.

1) Follow Me Into The Dark Book 1 When The Darkness Calls Series
By: C.R. Jane 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
C.R. has created a storyline that is very unique. She has done a 180 on the myths about Hades and Persephone. I absolutely love this storyline! Elena our female main character, was born into a family that are required to sacrifice for the gods. She receives a letter stating her service is required. It is Hades that she is sent to. To be continued soon

2) Hades Goddess Gods and Monster Series
By: Mila Young 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mila did an amazing job with this story. It takes place about a year after the series is finished. Elyse and her 4 gods, Hades, Ares, Apollo, and Poseidon have some decisions to make. Heracles, Persephone, Zeus, and Athena are also in this story. Zeus tells Elyse she has 1 week to leave Earth and move to Olympus. That goes over very well with Elyse and her gods.

3) Raven's Fall A Their Dark Valkyrie Companion Novella
By: Eva Chase 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I have not read the Dark Valkyrie books. After reading this novella, I have to read them. Eva has a fantastic storyline in this book. Muninn is the female main character that is normally a raven. One day out of the blue, she shifts into a human. Odin (Allfather) thinks it's great and sends her to see how things are going in another realm. Muninn meets 3 men on her journey. Jerrik, a light elf, Gunner, a giant, and Svend, a dark elf. The 3 men help Muninn with her quest and then the craziness stars.

4) On Death's Wings
By: Joely Sue Burkhart 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Two alien species comes to Earth. A short time later a virus starts and jumps between the aliens and humans. Thanatos (she names herself) wakes with no memory. Two aliens come to her rescue, Karon and Hades. Most of life on Earth has ended They decide to find out who and how they were experimented on. I really hope this gets turned into a series. I'm so interested in were this story will go.

5) Cupid's Kiss Cupid's Heart Book 1
By: Helen Scott 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Helen has written a story that I'm looking forward to becoming a series. Sage is the FMC and she is an assassin. She is trapped in a life she hates. She was sold to the "Family" to pay off a debt. Now she owes the "Family" a debt. Four sexy cupids meet Sage at a club one night. They all fall for her and vow to help her get away free and clear from the "Family" .

6) Valhalla Bound
By: Erin Bedford 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is a complete story and Erin did an amazing job writing it. Ashleigh is in college. She goes out one night and dies. She wakes in Valhalla. Loki, Thor, and Baldr take Ashleigh to see Odin. Odin believes she is going to have a high position in his court. Ashleigh and the 3 gods fall hard for each other. Then she awakes from a coma. Ashleigh wants to return to Valhalla and her gods but she has to complete something on Earth before she can return.

7) Luna Goddess of Eternity
By: Yumoyori Wilson 2 stars. ⭐⭐
Honestly I don't think this story went to beta's or to the editor. There is so many grammatical errors that this story is unreadable. The plot has potential to be really good from I could understand. I hate giving bad reviews, but it's not readable.

8) Flame of the Phoenix A Brightling Court Story
By: Ella Cross 3 stars ⭐⭐⭐
This story has alot of potential to become a series of books Ella wrote a story leaving you wanting more. Xiulan is the female main character and there is something different about her. She finds herself fighting things not of her world with her 5 guards. She is tasked with saving the world.

[Sydney · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fantastic anthology

Follow me into the dark - C.R. Jane
This had a really cool concept of a generational contract for a "sacrifice" from the women of the main character's family. But as it goes on, more things need to be described and explained because things just don't make sense. It takes a sort of "Beauty and the Beast" turn as she finds out the truth of the contract from Hades. Overall, the story is awesome. Elena's realisation at the end got me super excited for more! But it could have used a bit more explantation and editing throughout the book. Lots of little punctuation errors were distracting from the promising plot.

Hades' Goddess - Mila Young
Kicks off with a very steamy scene, major brownie points! I was really enjoying this version of Hades, until he kinda snapped and was hurtful for no reason. He said some really horrible stuff and then in his next scene it was like he hadn't said half of it. Be angrier, Elyse!! I did enjoy the established relationships and how they're all a little different. It really made me want to read the series this story is from.

Raven's Fall - Eva Chase
I really like how this book is set in multiple Norse realms. Usually with books based on Norse mythology you get one, maybe two. This really explores the mythological universe with a great knowledge of creatures and legends. It's filled with great action scenes, as well as romance, and I can't wait to read the series which follows this book.

On Death's Wings - Mythomorphoses - Joely Sue Burkhart
This one had much less mythology than the others. They each had names representing death, but Thanatos's name is the only one that really makes sense given she was found in a pile of dead bodies. But even then I prefer the nickname, Eve, that they gave her. The guys are two different alien species with different powers that compliment each other, but don't represent the mythological figure of death the way Thanatos does. This is more of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi story. It's promising and maybe the death-names well make more sense in a continuation of the story.

Cupid's Kiss - Helen Scott
A cold, emotionless, and abused assassin discovers she's the mate of a group of cupids. This is awesome!! Also the fact that she ticks lists off on her hand, leaving her with her middle finger up is just genius. The guys seem fun too. There's lots of potential for this series.

Valhalla Bound - Erin Bedford
The writing is so fun in this one! The Winnie the Pooh line made me laugh a lot. Loki is a very fun character to read. Thor and Baldur were great fun too, but a little too similar in their personalities. Overall this was a cute standalone with some steamy fun.

Luna - Yumoyori Wilson
This is a really promising start to a series! There were a few spelling errors here and there but nothing too distracting. The characters are intriguing and I would have liked to see a little more of Luna talking to all three guys as a teenager, to understand the evolution of their long friendship with each other. I love the whole premise and I really want to know what happens next.

Flame of the Phoenix - Elle Cross
I loved this one so much. It has a Mulan vibe, with zombie-like creatures and phoenix powers. I loved the mix of supernatural mythologies and the Asian setting. I also adored Xiulan as a main character. She's fierce and doesn't let anyone push her around, while also being unintentionally hilarious. Definitely going to check out the series this novella is a part of.

Seduced By Myths is a set of novellas based on Greek, Norse, and Asian Mythologies by 8 bestselling authors. C.R. Jane, Mila Young, Eva Chase, Joely Sue Burkhart, Helen Scott, Erin Bedford, Yumoyori Wilson, and Elle Cross have all come together to create this outstanding assortment of adventure, romance, and fantasy

Follow Me Into The Dark by CR Jane, 5 stars.
Elena's life changed overnight when her mother receives a letter that it's time for her family legacy to be fulfilled. Elena is sent away to be the sacrifice of what she believes is a Greek cult. The Fates promised Hades his beloved would be reincarnated and Elena is the next in line to be "tested". Along the way, we meet Charon, Cerebus, Hermes, Aphrodite, and Zeus. As Hades' dreams seem realized, Elena's nightmare begins.
This was definitely my favorite story in the anthology. So imaginative. I love this new twist on the well-known Greek characters. Each one carrying a spark of their original story but with a new twist. I am amazed by the creativity shown. It had humor, a budding romance, intrigue, and set up nicely for future conflicts. I can't wait for more!

Hades Goddess by Mila Young, 4 star
This story is part of the wonderful Gods and Monsters series. Elyse and her four gods are everything. Mt. Olympus presents one challenge after another and Mila is not one to back down. This is a nice novella to add to the series.

Valhalla Bound by Erin Bedford, 4 stars.
I truly loved Ashleigh and her potential loves. This needs to be a full-length book so I can spend more time with them.

On Death's Wings by Joely Sue Burkhart, 4 stars
An original apocalyptic story complete with aliens. The beginning scene was just, WOW! After that, however, I struggled with this story because the main character suffered from memory loss leaving her confused, overwhelmed, and lacking confidence. It's definitely interesting with its take on a futuristic world but I think it may have been better with more detailing in a longer story. That would have allowed true character development.

I haven't read the remaining stories but plan to. Will update this review in the future.

[Emily Pennington · Rating 5 out of 5]

You’ll love this set of fantasy tales steeped in Greek, Norse, and Asian Mythologies, full of adventure, unexpected twists, and each following the pursuit of true love. Below is a review of one of the stories to give you an idea of the great books you’ll find inside!

*** Reviewing CUPID’S KISS by Helen Scott ***
When her Uncle sold her to the Family, Sage had thought her life was over. But the actual end was when she turned 18 and they informed her how she would repay them for raising her until she was old enough. She was now one of their assassins.

Sage crept silently down the hall at 3 a.m., hoping that Thurston would not be upset with her. But there was no way to know his mood until she stepped inside the room. He was cold as ice, her keeper, controller, the finger that pulled the trigger -- she was the gun. She had to do his bidding, he owned her body and life, but her soul and mind were not his and never would be. She had to serve out her sentence and clear her debt; until then, she was his to use. And the worse part was having to come back after a kill and, reliving each moment, describe it all to Thurston while he yanked back on her hair and took her. When finished, he told her Family rules gave her the option of two weeks of vacation. She usually declined, to avoid making her debt repayment last even longer. But this time, she accepted.

Sage’s path will cross with four young guys in training to spread love through Cupid’s power. Their final assignment for earning their wings will not be easy. They must reach the heart of a cold, ruthless killer and help her to love again. Keeping her emotions turned off is what has allowed her to survive all these years. But when they realize what she has gone through and what she comes to mean to them, they will do all they can to free her and give her a better life. Can they succeed? Or has she smothered all emotion for too long to find the courage to open her heart?

This is a very unique story that you won’t want to miss. Take a chance on this one and the others provided in this anthology. You’ll be glad you did!

I was very excited to find out that a group of my favorite authors were coming together to contribute novellas that revolve around different types of mythology. All of the stories in this anthology are fantastic, but my particular favorites were by Helen Scott, Joely Sue Burkhart and Mila Young.

Mila Young gives readers a novella from her Gods and Monsters series and since I had just finished reading Hades is Mine, I was most excited to see this novella and experience another look into the life of Elyse and her Gods. I love how strong she is and how far her men have come in their quest to be together. This story did not disappoint and I am curious to see if we will get another novella at some point.
Helen Scott delves into the world of Cupids in her story Cupid's Kiss. There are four young men who are working together to spread love through the power of Cupid when they come across a young women who is so turned off by it that they don't know what to do with her. When an unexpected event occurs, they realize how much she truly means to them and fight to give her a better life. I am hoping that this in an introduction to a new series because I definitely want to know more about this particular world and what will happen next.
Joely Sue Burkhart's On Death's Wings give a look into a world of the future where a virus is running rampant through the world killing off humanity. Thought to be brought by a group of aliens who have come to Earth, scientists have been experimenting to find a cure. A young woman is pulled from a mass grave, sole survivor of that group, by two such aliens. Thanatos, Hades, and Kharon must work together to figure out how to save themselves and humanity.
I truly enjoyed each story in this anthology and look forward to more works by these amazing authors.

[Seraphia Bunny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Valhalla Bound is Erin Bedford’s contribution to the Seduced by Myths collection. Valhalla Bound is Norse mythology short story that follows a studious young woman by the name of Ashleigh. She’s off at college and studying for her finals, but her friend wants to go out and party. When Ashleigh concedes and agrees to go she has no idea that this night is going to be the one that truly changes her life…and afterlife.
Valhalla Bound is a reverse harem romance that is fast-paced but well done. Answers arise, the author answers them at the right time and gives us everything that we could want. I like that we get a nice dose of variety in this book with the characters. We get Ashleigh’s best friend and I like how different they are compared to each other – not just physically but in their mentality. While they both are studious you get the vibe from Bev that she likes to have fun, where Ashleigh is perfectly content studying, staying out of trouble, and working toward her 10-year life plan. I appreciate the romance angle in this story as well. There is old love and then we get a new “love.” I say “love” because it’s more born from lust than the first love.
There isn’t anything that I don’t like about this book. The author gives the reader just enough steamy to be enticing but not too overwhelming for those who don’t like lots of graphic detail. Me personally, I love lots of detail, but I think that for this book the author gives us just enough to be satisfying. I also love that the author gives us the whole story as well. We know what happens all the way to the end.
I am rating this short story 5 out of 5 stars. This story is short, steamy, and satisfying. I applaud the author for the amount of thought and work that went into this book and how well it came out. I am an avid fan of this author and look forward to reading more from her in the future.

[Tera Comer · Rating 5 out of 5]

If it is a collection, anthology or box set I am always buying them to support my favorite authors and the fact that this one is about the Gods from Mythology made the purchase double fast.

Follow me into the Dark - C.R. Jane
I can not wait to see what this author has in store in the continuation of this story for Elena and Hades!! I felt so sorry for Elena as she has to overcome the past that Hades is trying to fill.

Hades' Goddess - Mila Young
SO happy that I got to see Elyse and her Gods again. But I must say I am not happy to see the other Gods this time And I need to say OMG is there a chance at a book for Heracles?!?!?! I guess I will have to wait and see.

Raven's Fall - Eva Chase

On Death's Wings - Joely Sue Burkhart
Ok, I must say this first but I want MORE! This is not the typical alien type story and lets just say that in this dystopian future of earth we find out what can happen when scientist decide to screw around with genetics.

Cupid's Kiss - Helen Scott
O-M-G I totally adored this book and can not wait to see if the author furthers the series to see what happens next

Valhalla Bound - Erin Bedford
I really enjoyed this short story by one of my favorite authors. I totally fell in love with the characters and the world building. If you have never read anything by this author this is a great introduction to her writing.

Luna - Yumoryori Wilson
I love this authors books and this short story is no exception to that! I love Luna and Ansiel and can not wait to see what is in store for this series.

Flame of the Phoenix - Elle Cross
I really enjoyed this story and can not wait to read more about The Phoenix Court

[Bo0kSLoth · Rating 4 out of 5]

*3 stars Valhalla Bound by Erin Bedford *
It's a short story with RH themes that are based Norse mythology. A photojournalism student running from a past flame because "he loves her too much" at a party gets hit in the head by a pool ball and gets sent to Asgard in the afterlife. There she falls in love with Odin's sons (Thor, Loki, and Baldr), only to find out she is in a coma back in the world and it was her spirit that was knocked out of her body.
This short story seemed to be that she was forced to go back to her body and live, though the author tries to put a happy spin on it. It just felt like a let down for the character after what she felt and loved in Asgard. The love scenes were very glossed over and PG-13 so don't worry if you are squirming about those things. Overall, I could take or leave it.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

* 4.5 stars for Cupid's Kiss by Helen Scott *
This story has a different take on the RH paranormal-romance theme. Instead of chubby Cupids with wings and arrows, the authors gives you for hunky Cupids-in-training who are sent for a final assignment to earn their wings - help a stone-cold killer open her heart to love. It's not going to be easy as Sage was basically sold to the Family to work of her parents debts by being an assassin. She as closed herself off to all emotions just to survive; but these guys not only want there wings, they want to help free her. I just hope there is more come for this story.

*This review pertains specifically to Joely Sue Burkhart's entry, "On Death's Wings." Cross-posted on an individual Goodreads entry for this story.


The main character wakes up in a pile of corpses, and a couple of aliens rescue her. At this point, I was on board.

She has no memory of who she is or how she got there. Less on board now, because this is one of my least favorite plot devices/tropes. It's just never all that interesting to read about someone who doesn't know anything about themselves, because they inevitably don't have much of a personality. It's just confusion and "I don't know" all day every day.

The one part of the FMC, who names herself Thanatos, that does become apparent is her lack of self-esteem and sense of martyrdom. She has feelings of self-doubt and unworthiness about her body and beauty, which I completely understand and empathize with, but the fact that the aliens read minds ruins it because it just becomes a repeated thing where they respond to her thoughts and talk her up. Because these doubts aren't private, Thanatos doesn't get a chance to take control and gain her own confidence--the men just tell her how desirable she is.

The apocalyptic elements were enjoyable if not groundbreaking, but I found little to like or admire about Thanatos since she has no true personality. If JSB intends to expand on this story, then perhaps there's room for development. It's not a bad read, but it doesn't hold the same interest for me as JSB's other works.

[Lene Blackthorn · Rating 3 out of 5]

* this review is for Valhalla Bound by Erin Bedford*

Valhalla Bound was a quite okay story, considering it was a short one relatively well progressing - smooth development, not too jumpy, focusing on just one plotline. There was not enough space to get to know the characters in depth, but one could at least get the feeling - and in this case, I would definitely give more space to Ashleigh's background, see more of her personality, because her actions displayed are not really in line with how she is presented 'verbally' in the book. Okay, so she studies a lot, and the epilogue definitely helps her image, but other than that - party, wish for freedom and running away from the love of her life (ok, I accept she was not prepared, but then you see what happened in Valhalla and the opinion is skewed), and even not willing to go back to her life after experiencing the life with Norse gods... I hope there will be an extended version of the story which will give more character development, world building, and backstory facts to improve the first impression. Other than this, I must say it was well written, easy to read, with appropriate language and dialogues, and holds more promise than is shown now.

Fab collection of stories full of interesting characters, emtions and heat

This is a really fun anthology - full of so many different myths and the interesting characters that make them up. When you have this many great authors all together in one place, and the fascinating worlds they each have created, you know you're in for a good read. It certainly was a page turner for me. I enjoyed Erin Bedford's Valhalla Bound, which pairs up our gal Ashleigh with Loki, Thor and Baldr. This is a shorter story but it packs the emotions and heat quite nicely ;) I also really enjoyed Helen Scott's Cupid's Kiss. This one I feel we're going to see more of. Bad guys, hot guys and a very talented female assassin have a lot more journey ahead of them. It's definitely worth checking out this opportunity for hours of binge reading fun by great authors.

Some Stories Need More Detail

There was one big standout in this story collection, and that was Raven's Fall by Eva Chase. It was a gorgeous introduction to a series I did not know I needed in my life. All the pieces to a masterpiece are there, and from the samples I have read of the main series, I will not be disappointed in that regard either.
On to the rest of the stories, however. Most of them, except for Luna which I could not finish because it honestly had hardly any plot to speak of, have the same issue. Plot development. It's as if each author looked at the pieces given for a bigger picture and decided to ignore some of them in order to create the very same picture. The result, stories that are okay in their own rights but not fleshed-out enough to truly impress with their storytelling.

[Kassi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This anthology contains myths of Greek gods, Asian gods, Norse gods; however I only read "Follow Me into the Dark" by C.R Jane which is about Greek gods. "Follow Me into the Dark" is about a decades old curse until the right one is found to be able to break the curse. While this concept isn't original, it is interesting enough that anyone who reads "Follow Me into the Dark", let alone me, will want to read the full length series.







(Okay, I've been debating whether to post this or not, the former has won because other readers might want to know about this, don't get mad at me.) In my opinion, I did have a problem with the MC always insisting and repeating that this is a cult until the end.

[Theresa Wesley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Into the Dark C.R. Jane- Elena's family has been cursed for generations by the Gods. Every so often someone is called to be what they think of has a sacrifice. When Elena is chosen she has no idea what is going on. The different gods in the story are interesting. They seem to be nicer than they are portrayed a lot of times, in my opinion. Hades is looking for Persephone to be reborn. The question is whether he will be able to overcome his past to look forward to his future.

Valhalla Bound Erin Bedford - This is a cute story with lots of laughs but a love story ending. Ashleigh is a college student studying hard with her life planned out. Going to a frat party may be the best choice she's ever made. Her life changes drastically but she realizes what she really wants.

This review is for Valhalla Bound by Erin Bedford.
Ashleigh wasnt ready to get married - she wanted to study, and travel - and have an exciting life. But when she goes to a party, she is hit in the head by a pool ball - and ends up in Valhalla. She meets Loki first - and is told she died - then she meets Thor and Baldr, and is happy to stay with them - but when she meets Odin, she finds that her body is in a coma - and she might have to go back. What will happen to her? Will she go back and maybe find the human love of her life? Or will she have a future with her three amazing Gods? A beautiful, stand alone romance - loved it!

Seductively Magical and Haunting!

Beautifully written and descriptive! I love this set of tales! Teasing me with just enough to want more! These authors know how to tug at the heart strings and excite with magical adventure! A wonderful grouping of tales and authors, it's a fantastic addition to any collection. For instance, In Flame of the Phoenix, we are teased with a new addition to the Brightling Court series, which I absolutely love! I loved the take on Eastern myths, and the protagonist, Xiulan, had my heart from the start! I'm so looking forward to reading more and watching her own her fiery heart! Loved it! There's a fantastical story for every taste in this anthology. Let it inspire your own imagination and get lost in these pages! ❤️

Specifically for CR Jane's Follow me into the dark.
Elena has always lived a normal life. She's got her mom, her friends and now things are starting to click in her love life. Then out of nowhere a family secret takes that all away. She's thrown into a world of curses and Greek Gods.
I always love a good Hades story and this is no different. While it's a short intro into this new series, it's enough to get me interested and wanting more. The author has also stated that this will turn into an RH for those wanting to know. I definitely recommend you give this a shot and I'm sure the others stories in this anthology are great as well.

5 Stars for Raven's Fall by the enchanting Eva Chase!! If you adore Norse mythology with the added appeal of an RH theme, this is just for you!!! This is also a brilliant introduction to mythology if you've never read that genre before. This is the prequel to Ms. Chase's Their Dark Valkyrie series. This absolutely may just changes your view and set your mind into another space and perspective! What if the villain wasn't so terrible after all!? What if the savior really was more blood thirsty and evil than we thought!? Buckle up peeps!!! Things just became even more intriguing and exciting!!

What happens when an unwilling, streetwise assassin meets her soul mate. Or mates? Who aren't quite human?

The story is fast paced, the sex is hot, and you're left on a cliff hanger that has me anticipating the next book!

There are so many paranormal stories these days, that I really appreciate it when authors go outside the normal vampires, shifters and witches, as it gives a fresh take. No spoilers as to what these guys are.

Can't wait to see where Sage and the guys' story goes next!

Cupid’s Kiss by Helen Scott is one of the eight compelling and sensual tales included in the Seduced by Myths Anthology. Cupid’s Kiss is about an assassin who meets and accidentally becomes mated to two twin cupids. This story was exciting and sensual and definitely a standout in this collection. However, all the tales in this mythological mashup of stories about different gods, goddesses, and mortals who become involved were quite the fun, sexy read that kept me turning page after page. This anthology has something for everyone who enjoys a sensual story intertwined with excitement and adventure.

Review for Cupid’s Kiss by Helen Scott.

I really enjoyed this short read. It was an introduction to the main characters and set the scene for future books. The book was well written and the story and characters were well developed considering the length of the book. I loved the character dynamics and their individual personalities. The story was good and provided a background to the characters while also including some suspense, intrigue, emotion and hot chemistry. I look forward to the next book!!

NB: This book ends on a cliffhanger.

This is a review for Helen Scott’s Cupid’s Kiss
I enjoyed this story and the unique interpretation of Cupids. I also enjoyed the chemistry between Sage, Lysander and Alistair. I am looking forward to her developing relationships with the others as well. This is a interesting story and I want to read more! Sage is a memorable and feisty character who is pretty kick-ass even though she has some major challenges in her life already, and it’s just got that more intense for her. I am interested in reading more of this series!

This collection of stories are beautiful examples of how excellent writers make use of format to pack a novel worth into so few pages with deep emotions, humor and sweetness. This is Helen Scott's story Cupid's Kiss. I liked these characters so much! Their attraction was strong and their chemistry generated lots of sparks. The storyline was engaging and fun but offers a solid amount of drama and emotional turmoil as this couple's relationship evolves into more than they ever imagined. A must read!

This review is only for Helen Scott (Cupid Kiss)

This was a very unique fast-paced story I especially liked the interpretation of Cupids. Not sure if this is a start for a new series or not but I really hope it is. I'm look forward to seeing developing relationships between Sage, Lysander, and Alistair. Also I want to know what else is in store for this story.

What an amazing anthology! Eight amazing stories written by fantastic authors. A job well done!

One of my favorite is Valhalla Bound by Erin Bedford. I love the twists and turns, the adventure and of course the romance. The story held me spellbound until I finish the story. Erin Bedford has an amazing talent on how she creates her characters and the world they live in. She has never disappointed me and Valhalla Bound is definitely did not disappoint me! Cudos to one of my favorite author. I can't wait to see what else she brings!

Outstanding collection

What an amazing collection. So much going on and so many steamy moments that you just want more of. I can't wait for the spin off of fallow me into the dark by C.R. Jane. She really knows how to through you for a loop with those cliffhangers. But she's not the only one that's for sure. I'll just say this you will not be disappointed with choice of authors and stories within this anthology. Ok you may be disappointed but that's cause you need more. Definitely 5 stars all the way.
