Four Degrees of Heat [Paperback]

MAXED OUT by Brenda L. Thomas

Maxie's a bored high school teacher who needs some spice in her life. After taking a trip home during the summer break, she gets a little bit more than rest and relaxation. Using her great dance skills, she ventures on the wild side of life and parlays this innocent hobby into a lucrative money maker. The one thing she hadn't thought about: when you play with fire, you usually get burned. Torn between her new life, new love and old boyfriend, Maxie is faced with the challenge of making some hard decisions; is she up for it?

SEX, SIN AND BROOKLYN by Crystal Lacey Winslow

Being gorgeous is usually a ticket to stardom for some; for others, it's a hard way to go. Nicoli uses her looks to get everything she's ever wanted in life. She's always had a close-knit bond with her three friends: Joy, Stacy and Fertashia. They all have one thing in common, the love of money. Using her body has never been an issue, but a sure ticket to getting what she wants. Meeting the famous Black King and having him interested in her was money in the bank, but she never "banked" on karma coming around to step on her like she stepped on others.

SUMMER MADNESS by Rochelle Alers

Always a bridesmaid, finding the man of her dreams was never a priority. Nina Watkins was content to stay in love with the only thing that seemed to give her fulfillment: her books. When she catches the bouquet at her best friend's wedding, everything else falls into place like clockwork.

REBOUND by Reshonda Tate Billingsley

Getting stood up at the altar is never a woman's dream, but the ultimate nightmare. Victoria finds out firsthand when it happens to her. Never one to wallow in sorrow, she ends up taking that expensive honeymoon trip to sun, sand and freedom all alone; running into handsome Damon was just icing on the cake. In a foreign land with a complete stranger who is there to catch his wife in the act of cheating, Victoria and Damon find out that love deals us unfortunate cards, but sometimes you gain the best deck if played right. Who said love doesn't come by chance?

In Four Degrees of Heat, these authors demonstrate their own rendition of its "hot in herre". Nicely packaged in four intimate stories, these are bundled with sizzle, sex, and more sizzle. There's something in this for everyone. Graphic, no holds barred, straight up give it to me and more, all wrapped up in storylines sure to keep you reading. It may definitely be a little too risqué for some, but if you're into erotica, these novellas truly capture the essence of heat, sensuality and romance. Looking for something to keep you up? This is definitely one to start; although if you have a mate, you won't be reading it for long...

A Nice collection of summer stories.

I enjoyed Maxed Out by Brenda L. Thomas. A teacher turns exotic dancer for the summer. This was a good story.I like how Thomas weaves a tale and I really liked the way she ended it.

4 degrees of heat

Sex, Sin & Brooklyn by Crystal Lacey Winslow takes you to the darker side of a fling. I found it to me more like a street fiction tale. I didn't find it a sexy summer read. I did really enjoy the story and because I did I'm going to check out her books. It just didn't fit in this collection as a sexy summer story. But I rate this story 4 stars as a street fiction tale.

4 degrees of Darkness

Summer Madness by Rochelle Alers was an outstanding sexy summer read.

A shy librarian meets a sexy brother that is mysterious while on vacation in the Hamptons. A sexy, passionate read.

5 degrees of heat

I found ReShonda Tate Billingsley's story Rebound to a summer sizzler.

A jilted bride takes the honey moon anyway and finds some fun in the sun in Belize. This was comical as well as sexy.

5 Degrees of heat.

I could not put this book down because it was just that good. I rarely give reviews but this book is definitely a must read if you are into erotica books and follows a close pattern to erotica books by the infamous author ZANE.

MAXED OUT by Brenda L. Thomas

This is the first story of the book and starts off with a bang and was also my favorite. Zane herself could of written this story because it was just that erotic.

SEX, SIN AND BROOKLYN by Crystal Lacey Winslow

This story had a lot of "street" in it and put you in the frame of mind of sister souljah (coldest winter)

SUMMER MADNESS by Rochelle Alers

This story was a typical wonderful Ms. Alers romantic storyline.

REBOUND by Reshonda Tate Billingsley

I had never read a book by Ms. Billingsley but after reading this story I'm going to locate some of her work because I just love how she ended this book with drama and romance.
