Summary: A GOOD INTRO TO EROTICA. HOT!
Review: Bonnie Hamre's "A LADY'S QUEST" has great sexual tension but 'finishes' (& I use the term loosely) just when things get real interesting.....Dougal MacDonald, Duke of Sutherland rushed to London to make the lovely & newly-unattached widow Antonia his mistress. Determined to remain single, Antonia needs to find a completely satisfying lover in order to resist the Duke's charms. Some scenes were kinda dragging & I also expected a lot more than was delivered in Alice Gaines's "A SPINNER'S DREAM".....Novice priestess of the goddess Dendra, Kareth sa-Damil was exiled to her forest cottage when the escaped churl Thiele burst in on her solitude. Grateful for her help in evading the slave hunters, Thiele thanks her his way--as the recipient of his considerable talents of a love slave. My personal favorite, Jeanie LeGendre's "THE GIFT," is highly romantic yet positively scorching! Alessandra is the unwilling 'gift' bestowed upon Sultan Soliman. Determined to prove her unsuitability as an houri, she challenges him to 3 nights of erotic resistance. Ivy Landon's "THE PROPOSAL" is rather shocking & kinky.....CEO Craig Logan is determined to bring his company president Tracey Vennet to a sexual climax! His plan includes a 'spanking' game of dominance/submission. Don't miss the rest of the "Secrets" series: volumes 2, 3, 4, etc...You won't be disappointed!

Summary: Insatiable romantic erotica!
Review: I loved this erotic anthology. It awoke my senses from beginning to end. And the best part is that this wonderful series illustrates various sub-categories of romantic erotica -- contemporary, historical and fantasy. My favorite out of the four novellas is Bonnie Hamre's A Lady's Quest. This historical story centers on a young widow's tenacious need to find a lover that could replace her lust for Dougal MacDonald, the gorgeous seventh Duke of Sutherland and notorious womanizer. But she'd never envisaged Dougal's delectable intentions. I savored this story like fine wine. It was as sensual as it was erotic. The Gift is my second favorite novella. I loved the historical elements and delicious erotic scenes. The Spinner's Dream is the weakest one out of the four, but it entertained me nevertheless. And I loved The Proposal. The aforementioned novella reads like a toned down Black Lace novel. This is a memorable erotic anthology. The novellas' descriptions are rich with sensuality -- guaranteed to satisfy the reader. They're lighter than Black Lace books, but not sugarcoated like the rather formulaic erotic romance novels in Kensington Brava. I cannot wait to pick up the other volumes. Highly recommended...

Summary: A wonderfully stimulating, romantic and sensual read.
Review: This book was exactly what I was looking for. Sensual and imaginative, the author's characters had me 'there' with them, my heart beating and my breath coming fast, as I became enveloped in the story. Never tawdry or cheap, this hot romance left me craving more. The settings of different time periods and places, made it even more interesting. I can't wait to read Volume 2.

Summary: 4 hot stories.
Review: This is the 1st of the secrets anthologies i've read & I have all of them up to number 9. Although short they are a very exciting read. Like most anthologies you are not going to enjoy all of the stories, but in this case I did. Though saying that the order in which I enjoyed the most is:
The proposal by Ivy Landon, The gift by Jeanie LeGendre & A lady's quest by Bonnie Hamre, the same & The spinner's dream by Alice Gaines.
A great book & i'm looking forward to reading the rest.

Summary: Secrets made me blush! and keep right on reading...
Review: Wow! I was tracking down Bonnie Hamre's works and fell in love with the Secrets anthologies. They are provocative, heat-provoking fantasies and I enjoyed them all, but I rooted for the duke of Sutherland who wants Antonia, and he wants her now. I laughed at the idea of meeting as antagonists by night and as masked lovers during the afternoon... hot hot hot! Or am I giving too much away?
