About the author
Kallysten
134 books432 followersKallysten is a writer of romance novels and short stories, most of them with paranormal elements.
Her first eBooks were published by Linden Bay Romance in 2005. The defunct Venus Press subsequently published a few of her short stories. Because so many of her stories are linked as series and part of the same universe, she decided it would make sense to have them all in the same place, which is why she self-published, first with the co-op Alinar Publishing and now on her own. When she sees calls for submissions that speak to her muse, she sometimes tries for them, and was published this way by Samhain and Torquere.

The Out of the Box books are a series of short and steamy novellas. I only happen to own the first two, but I will definitely be continuing on with the series. I don't know why I waited so long to get to them.
Book Two of the Out of the Box series takes place a week later, when Virginia finally caves in and returns to the On the Edge club. This time, she tells herself, she will not give in so easily. She will control herself around the dark-honey skinned vampire. She again runs into him and is brought back to his lair for another play session.... But is she truly the one who is in control?
This book was just as good as the first one, but just as quick. I personally found this one to be a bit sexier, and it more accurately played up to what I would enjoy doing were I to stumble across a gorgeous vampire. I liked watching their "relationship" expand a little bit as Virginia tests herself and learns what she really wants, and how he can best give it to her. I'm really bummed I don't yet have book three.
This was a steamy, fast, and fun read. If you like a good vampire sexcapade mixed with a club scene and trunk full of adult toys, than this is a series I recommend you check out. This review can also be found on my blog, Bitches n Prose.

Wow! What a rush! This story is the second of Kallysten's Out of the Box series. First off, I absolutely must say that this book was fantabulously HOT! Also...I've decided that I need a box of my own. After reading about Anando's box my drawer seems almost...empty.
After a week had gone by, Virginia could no longer deny the urge to go back to On The Edge and Anando. She had tried to convince herself that their encounter had been a mistake but she just HAD to return. While watching Anando dance, an unwanted thought occurred to her. With all the women flocking around Anando, there was no way that he had gone home alone the week that she had managed to keep herself away from the club. The unexpected jealousy that she felt gave her pause and she decided that she shouldn't have come back. That is, until Anando changed her mind.
In this installment of the Out of the Box series Kallysten delve's a little deeper into the psyche of both Virginia and Anando. We learn a little more about Virginia's insecurities as well as Anando's reasons for choosing her. This is something that I really liked about this story, besides the "hot", pun intended, sex. The way that Anando treats Virginia is really heartwarming, making him even more desirable. Despite the fact that pretty girls surround him, he chooses Virginia. She may be confused by his choice but he makes her understand why she was the more desirable choice. I love the fact that he takes a moment to address her insecurities.
Anando not only seduced Virginia with his words but me as well. I would love to be in Virginia's position! I so want to play with Anando and his box. Plus, it doesn't hurt that he knows how to please a woman!
Kallysten brings life to her characters like no other an I for one, can't wait to see what else comes out of the box!
*I feel stupid. I just noticed that the cover of each story hints at what type of game Virginia and Anando will play.

There is just something about this series that draws you in and hold your attention the whole time. Kallysten really has a talent for crating a beautiful tale that easily enthralls the reader.
Virginia is a great character, being curious myself I could really relate. Anando is delicious and charismatic. Loved this pairing and they make a delightful couple.
This book is beyond steamy!! Oh holy, hot and heavy!!! Seriously sit in a tub of ice while reading this!! Do not make the mistake of reading in public. You will be blushing and feeling naughty, everywhere. Loads of smexyiness throughout, each encounter hotter than the last.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Hollie Jackson, who does an awesome read. She has a great pace that helps draw out the heat. I love the slight rasp in her tone, it makes naughty bits really sing.
I am very happy I listened to the whole series in one book rather than reading it piece mail on my Kindle. I would have hated having to wait for the next part. This book merges the story and I really could not tell how it was broken up previously.
I am not always in love with vampires, but Kallyston really makes it HAWT!! I love her style and voice as an author, I really hope she does a smexy bear shifter series to really make me happy!

This is the second one in the Out of the Box series and I must say it’s even hotter than the first one. Virgina tried to stay away from Anando, though that doesn’t work out the way she wants to. She gives in, he gives in, sparks fly. Really liked it!
