Rate this book
Her Lance-Alot By Delilah Devlin
Newlywed Lady Margaret du Bary must find a way out of the marriage her king has decreed. Lord Roland is far beneath the ideal knight she's dreamed of! But how can she distract the brute from consummating their marriage until morning when she plans to steal away from the keep and return to the convent?

Lord Roland is very pleased with his bride. Besides the lands and fine castle she brings, she's pleasing to the eye and has a suitably demure demeanor. The only thorn in the ointment is he has no experience tupping a gentlewoman. Bedding his modest bride will prove a true test of this knight's steel!

Dance of the Plain Jane By Lillian Feisty
Shy Jane Holliday has loved sexy Navy SEAL Michael Sky from afar for over a year. But one night the sultry beat of an exotic drum loosens her inhibitions and empowers her to seduce her dream lover.

It's the wrong time and place, but the instant Michael spots the veiled dancer weaving her sensual magic he's stopped dead in his tracks. His hands itch to touch not just the curve of her undulating hips but every spot on her enchanting body.

But having Michael run out on her after she's revealing her deepest, darkest desire reminds Jane that trust is a difficult issue.

Club Vamp By Allyson James
When master vampire Kenelm sees Helena Girard, he knows she's the one destined to restore him to power. He sends his lover, Adam Chase, to bring her to his club. Helena is instantly smitten with gorgeous Adam, but knows she can't be with him because of the deadly electricity her body sends off when she orgasms.

Kenelm demonstrates he can siphon off her power so she can make love to Adam — as long as he is with them. Helena revels in the excitement of both of them, until the deadly Guardians attack, revealing the truth about who she is.

Reader Advisory: Contains male/male sexual interaction.

Choosing Madison By Sherrill Quinn
Gaelen Brecca has to track down the errant fiancée of his world's leader. When he finds her hiding out on Earth, Gaelen has no choice but to take along Earthwoman Madison Marquette as well. Finding a mate was the last thing he and his bond-brother, Leax Ilan, expected on their mission.

When she discovers that her new friend is actually an alien princess, Madison is ready for a grand adventure with her. She's immediately drawn to Gaelen and Leax, who make no secret of their attraction for her. Can they secure her sensual surrender?

Come Howling By Denise Rossetti
Being a banshee is a lifetime Curse — and a magical pain the ass. It's lonely, oh so lonely. Needing a career change in the worst possible way, Maeve O'Brien the banshee visits an employment agency. Surely someone will listen!

Luc hangs on every single word. The woman's voice is sex incarnate. She might dress in bag lady chic, but a single whisper and he's got the hot chills. Two sentences and he's hard enough to pound nails. To help Maeve — Hell, Luc would do anything, even go to the devil.

Lyrael's Sacrifice By Jory Strong
Lyrael's blonde hair and blue eyes mark her as Azzura, one those raised to be given to the Djinn. When she dreams of a panther that shifts into a bird before changing into a serpent, she knows she will be the next Azzura sacrificed.

Whether she lives or dies will depend on her courage, her determination. And her trust in Asrafil, the Djinn prince who introduces her to carnal pleasure and will name her the wife of his heart, his flesh, his spirit—if she passes the tests necessary to enter the city of the Djinn.

HER LANCE ALOT- DELILAH DEVLIN
Lady Mary was given to Lord Roland as bride by the king. While Lady Mary may not have had a choice about the marriage she deceides not to consume the marriage. Of course Lord Ronald can't wait to bed his bride and seduces her while forcing her to bathe him. While the storyline was pedictable it was still an enjoyable read. Very hot bathing scene.

DANCE OF THE PLAIN JANE- LILLIAN FEISTY
Jane Halliday is attracted to Navy Seal Michael Sky. She watches him when he is jogging or when they run into each other at the coffee shop. Michel never notices her. To make herself feel desireable Jane took up belly dancing and performs at a local restaurant. One evening while dancing, Michael walks in and Jane seduces him with her dance. While making love Michael gets a call to report to duty. He leaves Jane behind embarrassed and humiliated. A week later Michael comes looking for her. Very hot and steamy. I loved it that Jane has a little meat on her and is usually not Michaels type. But he was truly hooked.

CLUB VAMP- ALLYSON JAMES
Kenelm is a master vampire who is loosing his powers. Together with his lover Adam they are looking for a certain woman to restore his power. They find her in Helen. Helen can't make love to any man because her body gives of a deadly electrical energy when she reaches an orgasm.
Pretty hot. Does have m/m interaction.

CHOOSING MADISON- SHERRILL QUINN
Madison is a romance novelist who unbeknown to her befriends and alien princess. One evening while spending some time with her new friend two guys appear in front of her. Gaelen and Leax have come to take the princess home. After getting over her inital shock she Madison agrees to travel with them to attend her friends wedding. Gaelen and Leax know that Madison is their mate and start the seduction.
This was a fun read.

COME HOWLING- DENISE ROSSETTI
Whenever she comes near someone with irish blood who has suffered a tragic loss, Maeve starts to act like a banshee. Needing employment she meets with Luc who runs an employment agency. She confideds her problem to him. Luc is attracted to her and fails to mention that he has his own secret. When he gets excited he grows horns, his eyes turn red and he grows a tail. This story was kind of weird. There was a a scene where Luc used his tail (not the cannon) in the sex act. Talk about double penetration.

LYRAEL'S SACRAFICE- JORY STRONG
Lyraeal belongs to the Azzura tribe. She has been chosen to be sacraficed to the Djinn. Asrafil is the Djinn that comes for Lyrael. Since the previous sacrafices killed themselves before cpmpleting the Djinn's test he does not have alot of hope to ever bringing a wife home to the City of Djinn. Lyrael is very strong and survives each test. Whenever she passes a test Asrafil rewards her sexually. He is impressed with Lyrael's courage and falls in love with her.

This book has 293 pages and holds 6 stories. Don't expect deep character development.

Six stories. Most were ok but too short to be really good. Sex scenes were pretty good.

Jane is full-figured with a belly. He is so turned on he can’t leave. After her dance, without a word he carries her to a back room.

Lord Roland has just arrived home after traveling. He is dirty and smelly. He meets his arranged marriage bride for the first time. They are married that day. She finds him disgusting.

Kenelm needs to find a woman who has a tattoo/birthmark which means she is a daughter of Osiris. Having sex with her will restore Kenelm’s weakening powers and provide vampire offspring. Helena a tv news reporter has the mark. When Kenelm sees her on tv, he sends Adam to get her. She is attracted to Adam. She is unable to have sex with human men because she gives off electricity during sex which kills them. Kenelm tells her he will draw off the electricity when she has sex with Adam or him.

There is some hot sex between the two men and also with the threesome. There is rear door activity. The story was pretty good. The sex was good. Overall I liked it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 ½ stars for CHOOSING MADISON by Sherrill Quinn.

Story was good. Sex was very hot. Sex includes two men with one woman and rear door activity. I would have liked more about the characters. But I wouldn’t shorten the sex scenes to do that. I’d make the story longer.

Gaelen and Leax are bonded buddies from another planet. When they take a mate it will be to one woman whom they will share. They travel to earth to pick up Julie who is engaged to their ruler. Julie came to earth for an escape adventure before marriage. She and Madison are friends. When the guys come to get Julie, they see Madison and desire her.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3 stars for COME HOWLING by Denise Rossetti.

Maeve is a banshee with a curse. When she sees someone who has a dying relative, she howls and her clothes fall off. They disintegrate. She also howls during sex. Luc is a human/devil shape shifter, but a good guy - no evil. The meet and have some hot sex. He hides his devilness by blindfolding her.

The story was ok, but not the best. It could have used more character definition and development. The sex was ok, lots of detail, but not as hot as other stories.

Data:

Weak 3 stars for LYRAEL’S SACRIFICE by Jory Strong.

Lyrael is a young woman (or teen) living in a desert village in the past. Every so many years her clan makes a sacrifice to the Djinn, the spirits who create and control sandstorms. Lyrael has been having dreams about a Djinn named Asrafil. She is the current sacrifice. She is taken to a mountain and tied to a tree. She is given poison as an option if things become bad. Asrafil produces frightening creatures to test her courage, trust, etc. He does this three times. He does not tell her she is being tested. There is a lot of sex during the tests.

The story was weird. I like weird, but this was not the best weird. Parts of the plot did not make sense. It wasn’t well developed. There is almost no conversation. He keeps telling her not to speak. I guess that’s ok since the purpose of the story is erotic sex with a handsome stranger. The sex scenes were very detailed and well described, but they didn’t excite me as much as some of the others. There is rear door activity.

Data:
Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 41 pages. Swearing language: none. Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: 4. Setting: desert in the past. Copyright: 2007. Genre: erotic paranormal romance.

Ellora’s Cavemen: Season of Seduction anthology is filled with hot, fantasy type characters.

The first titillating tale, Her Lance-A lot by Deliah Devlin, is about the king’s knight and a beautiful maiden. The second sexy story, Dance of the Plain Jane by Lillian Feisty, has a belly dancer and a navy seal. The third tale, Club Vamp by Allyson James, features a sexy male vampire, Kenelm, who owns the exclusive, by invitation only, Club Vamp and his lover, Adam. They are hot for each other and make an even hotter trio with a female descendant of Osiris, Helena, who usually can't have sex without electrifying her lovers. But she can mate with Kenelm and Adam. Her electrical charges can’t hurt Kenelm. In fact they restore him to full vampire strength. In choosing Madison by Sherill Quin, when two men come to take Julie to her betrothed, Madison finds out her best friend, Julie, is really a princess from another planet. On Julie's planet all marriages and serious relationships are between one woman and two men, triads of love. The two men who save Madison from raiders are as attracted to her as she is to them. Next, in the tale, Come Howling by Denise Rossetti, a banshee meets a lover so hot and with such devilish charm he has a forked tail and horns. In the last offering in this amorous anthology, Lyrael's Sacrifice by Jory Strong, an exotic male Djinn, Asrafil, is given a sacrificial virgin, Lyrael. Before she can be his forever, Lyrael must pass three tests.

These stories are fun, sexy reads that I highly enjoyed.

This is a very enjoyable book and if you are thinking about reading any of these authors (new to you?) this is a good sampling of their work. This is a anthology with 6 short stories. Very HOT, sexy reads all around:

Choosing Madison By Sherrill Quinn ~ Alien Gaelen Brecca has to track down the errant fiancée of his world's leader. When he finds her hiding out on Earth, Gaelen has no choice but to bring back Earthwoman Madison Marquette as well. Finding a mate was the last thing he and his bond-brother, Leax Ilan, expected on their mission.

Club Vamp By Allyson James ~ When master vampire Kenelm sees Helena Girard, he knows she's the one destined to restore him to power. He sends his lover, Adam Chase, to bring her to his club. Helena is instantly smitten with both of them, until the deadly Guardians attack, revealing the truth about who she is.

Come Howling By Denise Rossetti ~ Being a banshee is a lifetime Curse—a magical pain the ass and oh so lonely. Needing a career change, Maeve O'Brien the banshee visits an employment agency. Luc hangs on her every single word. The woman's voice is sex incarnate. To help Maeve—Hell, Luc would do anything, even go to the devil.

Dance of the Plain Jane By Lillian Feisty ~ Shy Jane Holliday has loved sexy Navy SEAL Michael Sky from afar for over a year. One night the sultry beat of an exotic drum loosens her inhibitions and empowers her to seduce her dream lover. The instant Michael spots the veiled dancer weaving her sensual magic, his hands itch to touch not just the curve of her undulating hips but every spot on her enchanting body.

Her Lance-Alot By Delilah Devlin ~ Newlywed Lady Margaret du Bary must find a way out of the marriage her king has decreed. Lord Roland is far beneath the ideal knight she's dreamed of! But how can she distract the brute from consummating their marriage until morning when she plans to steal away from the keep and return to the convent?

Lyrael's Sacrifice By Jory Strong ~ Lyrael's blonde hair and blue eyes mark her as Azzura, one those raised to be sacrificed to the Djinn. Whether she lives or dies will depend on her courage, her determination. And her trust in Asrafil, the Djinn prince who introduces her to carnal pleasure.

All of them are very good but I would have to say that Delilah Devlin's "Her Lance-Alot" was my favorite!

This was an ok book. There were some good stories and some I couldn't finish. I liked most of the story lines and characters. The few I couldn't finish were because of personal preference (don't really dig the same sex unions) or just turn me colder than ice on Antarctica. The ones I did like we're pretty good. There were definitely steamy scenes, some emotions, some out-there settings that were interesting, and good personalities. A pretty good read for one-sittings (each story), just for something to read, passing time, or rainy days. Overall...eh. Good Luck

There is nothing better than reading a book from Ellora's Cave unless it is an anthology.

You get a book that will make you scream and it will make you happy to have different authors to read. Makes you happy and it touches something for each fantasy that you have.

I can't seem to pick my favorite one out of this book so don't ask. I loved the cover and if this guy is who I have to dream about then I will be happy.

I bought this to read Delilah Devlin's story 'Her Lance-Alot'. It was good, but, with the exception of 'Plain Jane', the other stories were also very good. Wish the authors would do some re-writing and make some of them into books. I don't usually like anthologies, but this is a good one, altogether.

Out of the 6 stories I've only read one so far. Lillie Feisty's DANCE OF THE PLAIN JANE. It was a very quick read (as it should be in this type of book) and very enjoyable. I especially loved the ending. Thought it was perfect.
