What I love about Carol Storm's special romance novels for Blushing Books is that you know you're always going to get a good story, tons of passion and some naughty spankings -- but the settings and stories are always so different! This collection features two full-length novels, plus a special trilogy of three short stories about three best friends. The whole thing is an incredible bargain and so much fun!
Love Beyond Time is a really cosmic love story, set on another planet. Polly is an archaeologist and she finds an ancient warrior who isn't really dead -- he's just been sleeping for centuries, put under a spell by an evil witch. But this Sleeping Beauty wakes up with more than kisses on his mind!
Merit's Reward is like one of those stuffy, sleepy novels you always see at the library, about a fancy, classy, stuffy old businesswoman who runs her family business and is always boss. But this story is different, because our woman of substance has a weakness for motorcycles, much younger men, and being spanked on her naughty bottom right in her own office! Merit and Vic make a lovely couple and there are some real surprises along the way.
My favorite part of this collection was definitely Unexpected Dreams. That's because it's three totally separate short stories about three girls who are best friends and go on vacation together. Only when they fall asleep in the jungle in the shadow of a stone idol, they each dream about a separate adventure and experience a life-changing journey! Someone ought to tell Carol Storm that this story is really a lot like Picnic At Hanging Rock -- except with tons of humor and a happy ending for all. That's what I love about Carol Storm, and romance novels in general!
