Nice break from Reality
|
Based on the reviews, I decided to try this book, I had only ready one of the authors before.
Turn up the heat, for a short story it was excellent, but potentially it could have been expanded, the action part of the story was short, a little too short in my opionion, but well written.
Hunter's Oath, again short story, it began to show a relationship, then it was months later and they were happily married.
The Warlord Wants forever, This I though was the best of the three, the charaters were allowed to develop, and the story line did not leave you feeling a little cheated, in other words it wasn't an abrupt end or seemingly missing a huge chunk of the story.
In conclusion, if you have never read any of the other workings of any of the authors, read a full book first to see how they expand the story, when you want a nice escapism from normal life and a little bit romance - with some nice sex scenes - then this is the book for you.

One very good story

Two of the stories were OK, but the last one of Cole is very good. If you have read her other books in her paranormal serie you have to buy this one to see the start. It is the story of Myst that also appear in the following book "A Hunger Like No Other". It is very hot and sexy, but also romantic.

fans will appreciate the characters as the women PLAYING EASY TO GET take charge of these tough wise guys.

Turn up the Heat by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Allison cleans aisles at Wal-Mart, but escapes her dreary life when she wins a vacation. Vince hides at the resort as the mob want him ded. They meet and sparks fly, but so do bullets.
Hunter's Oath by Jaid Black. Needing closure, Sofia heads to the Arctic Circle where her only relative her beloved brother died in a military helicopter crash. However, she is kidnapped and taken underground where she is put on the marriage auction block. Viking warrior Johen buys her, but now must persuade the Outsider that they belong together.
The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole. Nikolai the vampire chief and Myst the Coveted Valkyrie are in love with one another. However, vampires and valkyrie are natural enemies so the two duel for superiority in their taboo relationship.
These three fine novellas star delightful protagonists starring bad dudes and s3xy females challenging them for who will be the top gun. Though the Black and Cole have a fantasy spin to their tales while Ms. Kenyon's contribution is straight suspense.

It's ok

Does not deserve 5 star rating. The first story by Sherrilyn Kenyon was fairly pitiful, plot and story line were non existent. It was enough to put me off the book. But the other 2 stories by Kresley Cole and Jaid Black were enough to save this book from total disaster.

3 fab books in 1

I have to say I was really pleased with this purchase, I assumed that the book by Sherrilyn was one I had read before in her short stories and was pleasantly suprised that it was not and it was a rather good short story. The best story by far was that of Kresley Cole, even though she is new on the scene she did a fab job and I will be reading all her books after this. The one book that disppointed me the most was Jaid Black (hence the 4 stars and not 5) I have been a fan of hers for ages and read all of her Trek mi Q'an books which are great, but this one left me cold. Her New Sweden stories just dont do it for me there was no real plot and no chemistry between the characters it left me rather cold. She should stick to warrriors of Trek Mi Q'an they are much more interesting.
