I bought this anthology because it was for a good cause and because Laura Thalassa wrote trashy dystopian smut in it. That's good enough reason for me. 😌😌

Caroline Peckham & Susanne Valenti – ZA Seth & Caleb novella
: 3.25 stars
I MISS MY MAN LANCE ORION SO MUCH IT’S SICK.
Only 252 days til I get them back, but who’s counting. 🤡
Laura Thalassa – Famine’s Homecoming : 3 stars
I believe in Famine supremacy. 😌
It’s still making me laugh every time I see Pestilence as “Victor” lmao.
Ana Huang – Twisted Bonus Scene : 1.5 stars
My mood when I see Alex and Ava happily engaged: 📉
Ilsa Madden Mills – Bonus Epilogue Boyfriend Bargain : 1.5 stars
Read Boyfriend Bargain almost 3 years ago and no wonder the bonus scene didn’t do anything for me, but well.
Kandi Steiner – The Dance : 1 star
I’m sorry, but I hate poems.
Karla Sorensen – The last Ward Wedding : 3 stars
Missing Paigelogan.. maybe it’s time to reread The Marriage Effect.
Just before my butt naked self could dive into the water, a blur of motion forced me to skid to a halt and my fangs snapped out as I came face to face with Lance Orion in his professor bullshit suit as he snarled right back at me with his fangs out too.
“Fifty points from Terra for showing your cock to a teacher, Altair,” he snapped, his nose wrinkling as he glared at me and I glared right back.
Though sometimes Professor Orion showed up here to hang out with Darius, promptly disappearing whenever me or any of the Heirs appeared. I knew Darius had been friends with him for years, but the dude had issues, and since he’d shot a peach into my mouth during sex ed the other day and nearly choked me to death on it for talking too loudly about my sexual experiences, I couldn’t say I was much of a fan of him.
I MISS MY MAN LANCE ORION SO MUCH IT’S SICK.
Only 252 days til I get them back, but who’s counting. 🤡
Laura Thalassa – Famine’s Homecoming : 3 stars
“Despite myself, a laugh slips out. “Shut up,” I say softly, pushing his shoulder lightly.
“Only if you put something in my mouth,” he replies smoothly. “I prefer pussies, but tits work too.”
“I wrinkle my nose. “You stink like a human.”
The room is quiet for a long moment. Then Famine lets out a loud, booming laugh.
“I hate to break it to you, flower,” he says, “but for the rest of our mortal lives, you’ll probably have to lower your standards. I now am in the unfortunate habit of eating and sweating and”—I see him shudder in the dim light—”shitting. What an ungodly activity shitting is.”
It’s now my turn to laugh. “How undignified that must be for you.”
“I have been humbled before God,” he agrees.”
I believe in Famine supremacy. 😌
It’s still making me laugh every time I see Pestilence as “Victor” lmao.
Ana Huang – Twisted Bonus Scene : 1.5 stars
“Whoever invented feelings deserved to be shot.”
My mood when I see Alex and Ava happily engaged: 📉
Ilsa Madden Mills – Bonus Epilogue Boyfriend Bargain : 1.5 stars

Kandi Steiner – The Dance : 1 star
I’m sorry, but I hate poems.
Karla Sorensen – The last Ward Wedding : 3 stars
“She curled a hand around the back of my neck, resting her forehead to mine. “You better not ever be done with me,” she said.
“Never,” I vowed. “Not for as long as I live.”
Missing Paigelogan.. maybe it’s time to reread The Marriage Effect.

4 Star
I came for the good cause and I stayed for that one Lucy Lennox story.
I may pick this up again to try some new-to-me authors, but 90% of the 70 stories within are more like established series extras and epilogues, and therefore, I won’t read them unless (until) I have read what came before.
There are a handful of solo shorts and a couple of prologue type stories, that serve to kick start new series to come, but those were far and few in between and the reader has no idea, unless, like me, they painstakingly go to the author’s note at the end of every single story and check.
Still, worth it for a great cause.

I know there are many stories from this book but I have yet to read all so I will just edit this if I'm done with the rest.
Twisted Love - Ana Huang
Alex in a mess? 🙌 We always knew how much Ava had her fingers wrapped around him but in these few pages, we saw the sweet side of him who was insecure at the chance of Ava not saying yes. It is a cute POV and I think it was good revenge to leave Alex on his knees while Ava took her time to say yes 🤣
Twisted Love - Ana Huang
No one could ground me quite like she could, even when she was the source of my nerves

not what I expected
I’ll start off by saying I’m happy to have spent the money to support the cause. I think it’s great. That being said, I was under the impression that this was a compilation of short stories. To me, short stories are just that-short stories with a beginning and an ending. I felt like this was a lot of prequels leading up to stories that aren’t published yet (that end on cliffhangers) and also a lot of bonus epilogues to complete books I have not read. It feels like the advertisement was a little misleading regarding content. I just wanted to share my thoughts for anyone contemplating purchasing.

Oh my, I have been waiting for the collection of fabulous stories, by some amazing authors.
I have not read all these stories, but I wanted to share some of the ones I have read now.
Queenside by Skye Warren gives us a sensational glimpse into the future of Avery and Gabriel's wonderful story that begins in The Pawn.
A little Surprise by Katee Robert was a wonderful teaser. I have not read any of the books in this series, and this snippet makes me want to rush out and buy them!
Old Money by Amelia Wilde us Mason and Charlotte's story from Net Worth and boy Charlotte has a surprise!
The Whitney by Alta Hensley & Livia Grant give us an expanded view of that infamous closet scene at The Whitney with Katja and Dex!.
Taken By Moonlight by Pepper Winters gave us a peak at Lawrence and Bellamy on the island of Rapture and Rayvn who arrives to steal and pillage. I can't wait for The Thief and The Heiress!

3/5 ⭐ para Famine's Homecoming de Laura Thalassa
Nightingale: An Anthology for Ukraine es un compilado de historias cortas de varios autores, entre ellos, obvio, Laura Thalassa, quien en esta ocasión nos regaló un capítulo extra sobre uno de los jinetes del apocalipsis, en este caso, sobre Famine.
La verdad es que, esperaba con el alma que está pequeña historia se centrará en Peste y Sara, porque fue precisamente con ellos con quienes se inició esta saga, pero no fue así, y lo acepto.
Ok, paso a lo siguiente. Este capítulo titulado Famine's Homecoming se centra en Famine y Ana, justo después del final del último libro que fue Death y lo que aquí ocurre en sí, es una interacción entre estos personajes y -donde yo creo- que más bien se da un cierre al ciclo de ambos, más para Famine, lo que tiene sentido, ya que Famine, no tuvo una conclusión como si la tuvieron Pestilence y War en sus respectivo libros, además que se confírma cuál es el destino de los humanos después de los eventos ocurridos con la llegada de los cuatro jinetes.
Es una historia muy corta que se lee en cuestión de minutos. Agradable y sencilla.
La frase que destaco:
"ᴍᴏʀᴛᴀʟ.
ɪᴛ ʀᴇᴀʟʟʏ ʜɪᴛs ᴍᴇ ᴛʜᴇɴ, ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴀʟʟ ᴏғ ɪᴛs ʙᴇᴀᴜᴛɪғᴜʟ, ᴍᴇssʏ ɪᴍᴘʟɪᴄᴀᴛɪᴏɴs. ɢʀᴀʏ ʜᴀɪʀs, ᴡʀɪɴᴋʟᴇs, sɪᴄᴋɴᴇss—ᴇᴠᴇɴ, ᴇᴠᴇɴᴛᴜᴀʟʟʏ, ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ."

April 12, 2022I am so honored to be part of the NIGHTINGALE anthology organized by Skye Warren. All royalties from this project will be donated to relief and human rights organizations working in Ukraine.
My story is “The Night We Met,” a bonus prologue to CREAM AND PUNISHMENT that takes you back in time to…you guessed it…the night Tanner and Lucy first meet! I loved getting to revisit these two lovebirds for this anthology and finally write the moment they fall in love at first sight.

What a treasure trove of AMAZING stories for an incredibly important cause. Not only is the humanitarian leadership of these authors in this endeavor admirable, but the stories inside this story are addictively yummy. So many favorites- Siobhan Davis, Shantel Tessier, Parker S. Huntington, Carian Cole, Natasha Knight & Ashleigh Zavarelli, Karla Sorenson, Jenika Snow, Amo Jones, Harloe Rae, Tijan, Amelia Wilde, Skye Warren,Ilsa Madden-Mills, Kandi Steiner just to name a few. Their stories I adored, but I also loved getting to meet some new authors to learn more about. FIFTY original stories and all the royalties to support relief and human rights organizations working in Ukraine. Amazing stories for an amazing purpose. And this cover is a work of art- and in love with the stories inside. Brava to this authors for giving us something beautiful to support something so important.

This Bonus Epilogue takes place 6 years after the Epilogue of Ruthless Empire. It's a short chapter but really good. Serves as a bit of introduction/bridge to the Legacy of Gods series.

A nice little bit of sweet, cheesy filler while I sit here and think of how much book 8 is going to ruin my life.

The chapters by Carian Cole are pure perfection. 😭
Torn is one of my favorite books and this glimpse we get during the ending/after the book takes place absolutely stole my heart. It’s everything you could want but yet it excites you all over again.
We get moments from both Kenzi and Toren’s POV that are utterly beautiful. Their connection just incinerates you! It immediately made me want to relive their story all over again while simultaneously yearning for more.
Rina Kent’s chapter is fabulous as well! We get more from our favorite RES families in all their cheeky glory. It‘s always so fun to read anything with this crew and how they’re doing in life.
(I’ll update this review as I read!)

Solo lei algunas escenas concretas, no la antologia al completo.
- A Summer In Paris de Jennifer Probst.
Una escena breve pero entretenida. No me gusto tanto como para leer la novela principal, pero estuvo bien.
2 Estrellas!
***********************************************
- If Only They Saw The World Like You de A. L. Jackson.
Pese a no haber leido el libro Give Me A Reason de la autora, debo admitir que esta escena fue muy linda, me gusto la pareja principal.
2 Estrellas!
***********************************************
- She´s The One de Helena Hunting.
Fue corto pero me gusto el cierre que tuvo Nolan. Entretenido y agil de leer.
2 Estrellas!
Aun me quedan otras escenas que quiero leer dentro de esta coleccion, asi que cuando las lea actualizare esta reseña y puede que tambien la puntuacion.
2 Estrellas!

Fifty authors collaborating on one anthology: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All author royalties donated to relief efforts in support of Ukraine: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Getting this volume produced and released within 6 weeks of the invasion: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (some typos)
Readers and fans getting to sample and revisit favourite romances: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My own personal favourites:
A Little Surprise by Katee Robert- a very romantic and “happy” peek at what Hades and Persephone have been up to. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Protected by Rebecca Zanetti- Janie and Zane are rudely interrupted by Kurjans during a wintery weekend getaway and Janie reveals some tantalizing visions about Sam and Garrett’s futures. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Taken By Moonlight by Pepper Winters- An heiress is on the beach in the middle of the night, crying over her abusive husband, when she stumbles upon a pirate. Inexplicably, heiress and pirate trade insults and blows, as she appears to lack caution or good sense. Within minutes, their animosity has turned into angry sex in what can only be the fastest ever turnaround. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Smolder by Aly Martinez- Ivy, a mafia boss’ reluctant girlfriend, finally relents to his criminal lifestyle after a kidnapping makes her see the big picture. Nothing could stop Mateo Rodriguez from finding her and keeping her safe. Very well written and burning with the title sentiment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wolf Ranch Legacy by Vanessa Vale and Renee Rose- Willow and Rob are the Alphas of their pack, but Willow has been feeling more territorial lately, like the horny version of hangry, “horngry”. Wait until Rob sets her straight! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Famine’s Homecoming by Laura Thalassa- The Reaper, of The Four Horseman, returns from battle and is now mortal. A poignant and sexy welcome awaits him. Having lost his immortality, will his Ana consent to a very human alternative? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Twisted Bonus Scene by Ana Huang- Alex proposes to Ava in London. If you know, you know. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I appreciate that this was for charity, but I’m pretty disappointed with the content. It was advertised as “never before seen stories”, so I was expecting… stories. But there are MULTIPLE “stories” that are actually bonus scenes and epilogues from existing books ( some that I have never read or heard of), so In order to actually enjoy the content I have to buy another full length book and read it in order to read the bonus chapter in this anthology. The very first story in the anthology is a bonus chapter about characters from an existing series.
I LOVE anthologies in general- I was looking forward to this one. Never have a read an anthology where there were so many bonus chapters and extended epilogues from existing books/series in it. I was expecting a collection of actual short stories. I realize anthologies are supposed to help authors get their work out there for people to get a taste of, but this one is just basically blatant marketing for existing books and series. Not standalone stories or prologue-esque hfn stories like most anthologies.

The perfect distraction by Piper Rayne SINGLE DADS CLUB SERIES
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun short story about Killian, at 33 he’s a widowed single father of a 6 y/o daughter, who has just moved to Climax Cove, Oregon to take over a law practice in order to give his daughter a better life. And Sydney who is 22, a college graduate who is living in the small town she grew up in working in a bakery because she can’t find a job in her field. They have great chemistry and I’m hoping that the authors will at some point continue their story so we know if they actually get their HEA.
Gravity by Aleatha Romig INFIDELITY SERIES
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ OMG if you ever wanted to know about all of your favorite characters from Aleatha's past series then you want to read this story! Oren and Adelaide are finally getting married and they invited EVERYONE!
Our New Forever by Claudia Y. Burgoa THE BAKER’S CREEK BILLIONAIRE BROTHERS SERIES
⭐⭐⭐⭐💫 Layla is in Target Shopping - she goes in for one item and spends $300...we all know how that goes when you go into Target 😂. Anyway if I say anymore it will give away the premise of the cute short read. so I'm finished.
A Summer in Paris by Jennifer Probst
This was a bonus scene so if you haven't read Our Italian Summer it really doesn't have any impact other than its a cute five minute read. I didn't read the book yet so I couldn't really appreciate this short, I'll probably reread it after I read the book.
