Rating:  Summary: boring Review: After hearing so much praise on these reviews about Angela Knight I had expected to find her novella and this book a lot more exciting than I did. I'm sorry to report it was dull and definitely does not live up to its hype. You're better off sticking with Christine Feehan if you want to read about sexy vampires. The Lawless story was pretty good but not long enough to justify the price of the book.
Rating:  Summary: Enjoyable read Review: All the stories were good, the last one about a Vampire was the best. Just alittle hotter than "regular" romances, but not as hot as Robin Schone!
Rating:  Summary: SSECRETS VOL.7 BY KATHRYN ANNE DUBOIS Review: ALL THE STORIES WERE GREAT. HOPE THIS SERIES WILL CONTINUE WITH MORE VAMPIRES,WEREWOLFS,PIRATES AND MAYBE SOME HALF-BREED RENEGADES MORE RAKES,ROGUES,SCROUNDRELS THAT MAKE THIS SERIES SO INTERESTTING TO BUY AND READ. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT EDITION IF AND WHEN IT DOES COME OUT.

Rating:  Summary: All stories are HOT and well written! Review: Both Julia Welles and Kathryn Anne Dubois stories are historicals and very well written. I must admit that my favorite stories in this book are Jade Lawless and Angela Knight's contemptorary stories. Jade Lawless story involves lovers reunited years later through their dreams. Angela Knight brings us another Fantastic vampire story. When you read this book and love it like me, I would suggest going back and getting Secrets Vol.6 which has another Angela Knight's vampire and a MaryJanice Davidson's werewolf story.
Rating:  Summary: Disappointing Review: Disappointing stories - heroines too submissive & weak. Found each of the stories to be disappointing & sappy which is unusual for this line of anthologies. I have all of the previous volumes & will buy the next one hoping this was a fluke.
Rating:  Summary: A GREAT BUNCH OF STORIES... Review: HERE IS ANOTHER FINE COLLECTION OF ROMANTICA.. EROTIC STORIES WITH A HAPPY ENDINGS... ENTERTAINING AND INDIVIDUAL...
Rating:  Summary: Ever read Susan Johnson? This is ten times hotter Review: Hot doesn't even begin to fully describe this anthology. Since, as of so far, I've read every Secrets volume Red Sage turns out, I can't easily say this is the most intense yet. Not only are the novellas included spicy but they're also extremely well written and romantic. These women have talent. One scintillating story of a woman and her kidnapper who is secretly her bodyguard, an independent and aggressive woman and her werewolf, an innocent who arranges "lust lessons" so that she can keep her husband faithful, and an extremely sensual vampire who intends to make a life mate of a woman who was just going to be his meal. Even if the plots don't sound like the most original in the world, buy this, read it, and then go ahead and compare it to a Johnson or a Devine, not say that any of those authors are lacking but any of the authors writing in Secrets are without a doubt in my mind, just as talented as the top names in erotic romance. I think that Red Sage should expand and offer some of their authors a chance to publish full-length novels.
Rating:  Summary: Hot and Enjoyable Read! Review: I bought this book because of Angela Knight's short story and my enjoyment of this series from Red Sage Publishing. I was NOT disappointed. Angela Knight's story was my favorite, but I will admit to some prejudice since I have been enjoying her books and stories for a while now. It has been amazing watching how her style has evolved and Kissing the Hunter is a great story with a lot of emotional depth, particulary for a novella. If you are looking for a sexy read that involves a story line and character development, then read these stories - you will not be disappointed.
Rating:  Summary: Most rwere okay but Jade lawless's story was great! Review: I have been reading romance novels off and on for the past 15 years but this was the first time I read sensual fiction. Altough I gave the book 4 stars not all the stories were that good so here is my opinion of each story: AMELIA'S INNOCENCE: (3 stars) Overall the story was interesting and the sex scences very steamy. The only thing I didn't like was how submissive Amelia was but considering her circumstances it was understandable. I perfer strong female heroines. SURRENDER: (1 stars) This was a classic 80's bodice ripper if I ever read one. I didn't like the hero and felt sorry for the heroine who was forced to marry him. I know that these are short stories but this one needed more development. There was no reason for them to fall in love other than good sex. The worst past of the story was when Johanna lay sick and unconscious and Nicholas while cooling her off became "aroused" and touched her breast. Give me a break! He didn't know what was wrong with her. She could have been dying and all he could think about was sex. Ugh!!! KISSING THE HUNTER: (2 star) I read the rave reviews about Ms. Knights writing skills and this is one of the reason I chose vol. 7. Well now I know the saying to each his own is true. I didn't like the whole vamp needing sex to survive plot. I didn't like Victoria either. One minute she is picking up strange me for sex/survival and the next she is blushing like a virgin because Logan basically call her a slut. Victoria and Logan had strong sexual attraction but I didn't like their sex scenes. So way did I give this book four stars? The one saving grace was Jade Lawless' WOMAN OF HIS DREAMS which I give a (5 star) rating. This story was fantastic. I liked Joanna and Gray. Gray was sexy, strong, and giving, everything a hero should be. The passion and love between Joanna and Gray was hot and sensual. Jade Lawless told a story of love that transended time and I loved it! I wish that this story was full length novel because it ended too soon. I can't wait to read more from Jade lawless.
