Secrets Volume 28: Sensual Cravings
Four ultra-sexy romance novellas in the one volume:
The Pirate's Possession
When Lady Gertrude Fitzpatrick tries to bargain with a fierce pirate for escape across the water to her childhood home, she unwittingly becomes the possession of Merciless MacGowan, a fierce privateer on the run from Cromwell’s army. Ewan MacGowan has been betrayed and mistakenly exacts revenge on this proud noblewoman. He may have stolen the lady’s innocence, but buried beneath her plain exterior lies a hidden treasure he never thought to find: the true woman of his heart.
Seducing Serena
Serena Hewitt has given up on love. Her experience has taught her there’s no such thing as ‘Mister Right’, but when she interviews for a potential partner she’s not prepared for her overpowering sexual attraction to Nicholas Wade, a fun-loving bachelor with bad-boy good looks and a determination to prove her wrong. But Nick’s hiding a secret that might just do the opposite. Can two people afraid of love risk exposing their hearts one last time?
Mind Games
Damien Storm is a Varti—a psychic who can connect to one special person to communicate with telepathically. For three years he’s tried in vain to get his Vartek partner, Jade, to acknowledge their link, but fear has made her keep him at a distance, even as he’s bared his heart and soul to her in order to gain her trust. He will do anything to know the sweetness of her body and mind in closer proximity, but first he must save her from the forces of the government who wish to see all Varti destroyed.
Kiss Me at Midnight
TV co-hosts Callie Hutchins and Marc Shaw fake an on-air romance to top November sweeps, but before long the battle of the sexes burns up the sheets and the ratings. Callie thinks Marc is a womanizer who should help her snag her dream job...on the other side of the country. As the month progresses, however, she realizes Marc isn’t the handsome playboy he portrays on their show--he’s funny, kind, and too sexy for words, damn it. So...can she give him up when November ends?

I'm in love with my Kindle for a variety of reasons, with a major one being that I can once again read erotic fiction without any fuss. Because honestly, who wants to be that mom, the one that reads naughty books while waiting at the classroom door for the dismissal bell to ring? I'm not ashamed of the books I choose to read but I am aware that other parents might judge my kid, and it's not really my fault that their own lives might be lacking sparks. My Kindle solved the pesky problem of cover art for me and I couldn't be more thrilled with my first choice of Secrets Vol. 28 from Red Sage.
Each and every short story did exactly as intended~ they entertained and titillated, filling in the few spare moments I have in my day with something fun and exciting. As an added benefit I was treated to authors that I hadn't read before. If you are looking for a complex, involved relationship then these novella length books might not suit, but if you want a quick, steamy read then these 'secrets' are just for you. And the ebook format ensures that nobody will be the wiser...and your secret is safe with me:)
My favorites from this edition:
It's a toss up tie between Seducing Serena by Jennifer Lynne and Kiss Me At Midnight by Kate St. James.

It’s was a very cold Sunday, and I decided that there’s no better way to warm up than to read adult fiction that is more than hot enough to burn the sheets. Secrets Volume 28 Sensual Cravings is a collection of stories written by four authors. They’re Juliet Burns, Kate St. James, Jennifer Lynne and Kathleen Scott. Each and every one of their stories are unique and very tantalizing. This book is definitely something worth reading, and I assure you that this will make your uneventful Sunday be more… exciting. This book will guarantee you a sensual adventure and not to mention escapism from reality, if you’re actually looking for any. Thumbs up for Secrets Volume 28 Sensual Cravings. I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars.

When Red Sage approached me to review this newest anthology in their Secrets series, I jumped at the chance. I'd been wanting to read one of these books for quite a while, but just never picked one up. I always ended up going with a safer choice, sticking with picking up the newest releases by some of my favorite authors instead of trying an anthology of lesser known names. However, I was not disappointed with my first experience with Secrets and I can't wait to read more.
This anthology had it all: romance, red-hot sex scenes, and a variety of settings (location and times). "Kiss Me at Midnight" by Kate St. James is contemporary story revolving around L.A. talk show co-hosts. "Mind Games" by Kathleen Scott is set in futuristic US and is filled with suspense and had paranormal elements. Jennifer Lynne's "Seducing Serena" is a contemporary tale set in Australia. And the historical offering in this anthology is "The Pirate's Passion" by Juliet Burns.
All of the authors were new to me. I felt a little confused by Kathleen Scott's story, only because it was part of a series that I felt like I was coming in without back story. And the fact that it is a futurist also put it at a disadvantage for me, as I don't read the genre all that often. However, I was able to overcome my preconceived ideas and enjoyed the novella. I would have loved for "The Pirate's Passion" to have been a longer story as I feel there is opportunity to add and expand on the tale. The other two stories were just the right length to tell a satisfying story.
I look forward to reading more books from the Secrets series. The authors of the next volume of Secrets will be our guests during a special week in July. If you want a copy of this volume, you can by the book at Barnes and Noble or Amazon.

I edited two of the stories in this volume, but I love all of them. :)
