Not to my taste.
Tale the first features a h and her bestie getting caught up in the mists of time and finding themselves in Scotland long before indoor plumbing was invented. Add to that, the convenience of the H and his band of merry men being on a rieving mission to steal his would-be bride (steal her and marry her in some random priest's hut as opposed to a formal arrangement between families. Gotcha). I mean, I suppose it wasn't bad, but it's hard for me to get past the 0-60 aspects of it. But then there was that position where we're beat over the head with the fact that her buttocks and labia are skyward (that's what it said. :shrug: )
Tale the first reminds me of a book I read sometime last year. I'd swear the book author read this and decided to improve upon it. Basically the H is a dragon, the h is trying to get something from him, and as he discovers quickly, she's his mate. Irritants - that 0-60 aspect, coupled with bdsm.
Tale the third is an alien abduction, with the H being a dragooni or something like that. The h spends several days in an induced sleep while getting "prepared" for mating while she's awake. The impression I got was that the H (and with this sort of thing as a norm, I'm using that term v. loosely) was boinking her while she was drugged out of her mind. Then expected her to be all warm and fuzzy about things when she woke up. Frankly I would have been out for blood. Also, this is a menage.

I liked all of the stories, but to rate them by the ones I liked best, I would say:
1. Taming Him
2. Warlord
3. Dragons and Dungeons
For me, Maggie was just so in tune with herself and really questioned "why am I not freaking out?" I've also been into novels recently that involve more than two partners 😳
Janet was also good and she had a great inner will and strength. I would have liked to see her have a chance to have the choice to return to her world or not though.
Jestin was the one I connected with the least just because I feel like he was too cocky and that turned me off to him and Kaya freaked out about everything. I'm also not super into that "call me master" stuff. Reminds me too much of "50 Shades of Gray" which I consider a poor version of erotica.

Hilarious anthology - or least Tawny Taylor's and Michelle Pillow's. The premise of each of their story was very original and well executed.
Great read to relax by.

Read this book twice and loved it every time. Will probably read it many more times. Sexy cover too!

it was okay. I am not wild about BDSM things, so i really don't enjoy reading about them. I really enjoy the highland story and the last one in book.

The first story was mediocre, but the last two were poorly written. Pity.
