Half good half bad,
By
This review is from: Secrets: Volume 4 the Best in Women's Romantic Erotica (Secrets (Red Sage)) (Paperback)
For me the 4 stories in this anthology split into the good and the bad.
Based on the fact that this is supposed to be romantic erotica, I thought 2 stories hit the mark. If you want something hot, but with emotional engagement between the protagonists, the ones that deliver are: Jeanie Cesarini's An Act of Love Emma Holly's The Love Slave I really like Emma Holly's writing (hence me buying this anthology). She manages to combine really sexy and really romantic stories whether in the short form or as a novel. Here we have a virginal princess having to choose 3 male slaves for a year who have to do everything for her. All in preparation for marriage and ultimately ruling power. The principal characters are well drawn and attractive. The sex scenes reinforce the characterisation as well as being hot. There are a number of secondary characters who have a direct impact on the story and EH manages to invest them with life without padding out or distracting from the central story. I'll definitely investigate more of Jeanie Cesarini's work as her story was also really romantic and very hot. The troubled actress who cannot act out a sex scene and the man drafted in as her acting coach. Again - we get depth to the characters, so I was hoping and cheering for the HEA. Of the other two stories, I found the whole premise of Enslaved by Desiree Lindsey distasteful, and the HEA at the end left a particularly sour taste in the mouth. The characters, particularly the irritating heroine, were rather shallow, and their motivations were not credible to me. No romance, but I suppose you could find it erotic (I didn't). No romance (and not particularly sexy sex) in The Bodyguard by Betsy Morgan & Susan Paul. The female bodyguard assigned to protect a client who puts a lot of time and effort into her sex life. The men were ciphers, and the women left barely an impression either. I know the short format means that things have to happen in a rush, but this was ridiculous. As this is my first experience of a Secrets anthology, if I investigate the series further, I'll be lowering my expectations of romance or eroticism in future... Star rating for each story: An Act of Love - Jeanie Cesarini 4/5 The Love Slave - Emma Holly 5/5 Enslaved - Desiree Lindsay 2/5 The Bodyguard - 0/5

This review is from: Secrets: Volume 4 the Best in Women's Romantic Erotica (Secrets (Red Sage)) (Paperback)
I just love this series & was so pleased to read Jeanie Cesarini's story, "An act of love". It's a must just for that story alone. It follows on from her earlier story "The spy who loved me". Shelby, was mentioned in the previous story finally got her own story & it was brilliant. It was great to see Paige & Chris again. The others are equally as brilliant, I was not disapointed with any of the stories. They are:

A Cross Between Romance and Black Lace,
By M. A. L. "metal_monkey" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets: Volume 4 the Best in Women's Romantic Erotica (Secrets (Red Sage)) (Paperback)
Anyone who had read the Black Lace books will recognize Emma Holly's name. She is one of the best writers of erotica that I've come across. On my quest to collect everything ever written by her, I found Secrets vol. 4. Let me say that I was pleasantly surprised by the other stories in this collection. Each story is based on a romantic premise, so readers of romance novels will enjoy this book. The "steam" factor has been pumped up, so readers who don't like graphic love scenes should avoid these stories. However, people looking for one-handed reading would do well to remember that these stories have PLOTS. That said, I enjoyed every one - but especially Emma Holly's. Others have done a wonderful job reviewing the contents of this book, so I won't rehash. This review is just to emphasize how much you will NOT regret purchasing Secrets vol. 4. :-) 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

Get this one for The Love Slave,
By MattieG "mattieg" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets: Volume 4 the Best in Women's Romantic Erotica (Secrets (Red Sage)) (Paperback)
A good anthology, but flawed by "The Bodyguard," which seemed cobbled together, and suffers from an absolutely terrible ending that had my mouth falling open in disbelief. Not what I expect from the series, at all!"An Act of Love" is entertaining and steamy, a good contemporary romance that apparently picks up a character from a previous volume. Made me want to get the original! "Enslaved" was OK, but the heroine annoyed me, which wrecked the story. That's more personal bias than any fault of the author - I need a really strong female protagonist in period romances. "The Love Slave" was AMAZING, the best story I've read in the Secrets anthologies. I read it twice through in two sittings. The sci-fi premise is similar to another novel I read by a different author but the characterization and romance are so much stronger I found myself thinking, "This is the book the other author was trying to write." Terrible, I know, but honest! Steamy, steamy, hot erotica - heart-tugging romance - Emma Holly is my new hero. lol I'd recommend this volume on the strength of this one story alone. 13 of 14 people found the following review helpful:

Get this -- if only for Emma Holly's novella!,
By CoffeeGurl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Secrets: Volume 4 the Best in Women's Romantic Erotica (Secrets (Red Sage)) (Paperback)
I skipped over a couple of installments because Emma Holly is featured in Secrets Volume 4. I am a big Emma Holly fan and I've devoured everything she's written. The Love Slave, her novella in this anthology, is so hot it sizzles! Set in make believe times, Princess Lily has to choose three gorgeous men to attend to all of her needs. While she revels in the attention of two of the slaves, it is the tall, dark, gorgeous and mysterious Grae that refuses to submit to her desires. Not only is he rough and insubordinate, he has a painful secret that keeps him at bay. This is a beautiful erotic story that awoke my senses as well as my intellect. Emma Holly has done it again!Desiree Lindsey's Enslaved is my second favorite. This is a wonderful novella of dark desires and exquisite building of tension. Nicholas Summers is one of the most insatiable heroes I've ever read and the scenes are smoldering and delicious. I'm not familiar with Ms. Lindsey's work, but I'll be sure to look for her stuff in the future. The other two novellas, An Act of Love and The Bodyguard, are contemporary romanticas that failed to spark my interest. I guess I was in the mood for some fanciful stories. The Love Slave and Enslaved more than satisfied my craving for the same. I recommend Secrets Volume 4. Emma Holly's delectable story is well worth the cover price! |
