Good book to travel with.......... |
I bought this book because of Christine Feehan and to also add this book to my collection. This book came with me on my trip overseas. I must say that I had enjoyed 3 out of the 4 stories in this book. I read this book in the month of July which took me about a week to finish.
I'm going to start with Christian Feehan. This novel is base in the jungle, in Borneo, and we are dealing with wereanimals. Maggie Odessa inherited properties from her biological parents. While there she learns a little secret that changes her life forever and along the way meets her lover (who by the way is sexy), the attraction with these two is very intense. Ms. Feehan had put alot of sexually tension between these two characters which comes to a point you yourself might feel it. I love the part when both of them were in the kitchen drinking the nectur juice that was hot.
Down the list of favorites would be Elda Minger's. First time reading anything of her. Her story is about a female reporter who goes undercover to get a story about an all male seminar concerning seduction. While doing this, she is introduced to the bachelor of her dreams but is forced to continue her role as a man. The story was cute but I thought the sex was on the dry side.I won't be running to get her books no time soon.
Next would be Sabrina Jeffries'whom is also my first read. This story is about a widow by the name of Isobel who heads a council at an all boys school. Isobel and Lord Justine always sees differintly about what is best for the school. Things finally come to a head and the council has to choose between either her plan or her rivals plan concerning a factory at the school. This throws her into a "mood" and her friend, who is also on the council, attempts to help her experience a little JOY in life. The friend offers to take Isobel to a Widows Auction where women are "sold" to the highest bidder for a night of passion. Her rival, Lord Justin, just happens to be there and wins her for the night. I thought it was really interesting how both of them pretened that they didn't know each other. The chemistery between them was loving.
My least favorite, sorry to say, Emma Hollys, also first read from her. Story is about Luisa who travels to the far off land of Tibet to find out if the monks can cure her of her need for blood. While at the temple, she meets a monk who is about to make his final vows and finds something that she has been without her whole life. To me I thought it was a bit cold.
Don't get me wrong it's a good book which has its weak point and its strong point for each individual reader.But a type of books like this your not garuntee 100% fulfillment from each and every author (unless you know them all).

Great Stories! |
Fantasy has four short stories in it and I loved every single one!
The Widow's Auction by Sabrina Jeffries is about a lonely widow who on her friend's urging disguises herself and puts herself up for auction! A one-night only bid that for Isobel Lamberton will change how she feels about sex forever. Only things don't work out quite how she plans when the man who bids on her is her rival, a man she goes toe to toe with on decisions concerning her late husband's boys' school. This story was just wonderful.
Luisa's Desire by Emma Holly is about a woman vampire who fears the necessity of drinking blood to stay alive so she travels to Tibet, to a refuge inhabited by monks who can hopefully help her curb her unnatural cravings. There she meets a man who has to choose between her and the emotion she rises within him and his chosen path. Very delightful read.
Mr. Speedy by Elda Minger was probably my favorite in the bunch, its about a woman writer who goes undercover to an all-male seminar called The Swiftest Seduction, a seminar boasting it will teach men how to get in a woman's pants within 24 hours! Miranda cuts her hair and borrows her friend's clothes to slide into this seminar undetected. Her womanly instincts are sorely tried though when she finds herself with a roomate who could knock her socks off! Jake is at this seminar with plans for a story himself, and when he meets "Randy" decides the "Little guy" needs to be taken under his wing. This story is funny and heartwarming. I absolutely loved it!
The Awakening by Christine Feehan is about a vet who goes into the jungle looking for her inheritance. What she didn't expect to find was that her inheritance included a legacy that inabled her to change into a leopard. And that her mate was waiting for her, and was ready to help her make the change. This was also a good story.
Basically, I recommend this book b/c I loved all the stories in it. They all had good endings that left you with a good feeling and cute little plots. If you want to pass the time with pleasure, pick this book up. You can't go wrong!
