Wow! what a great anthology and follow up to Wicked Firsts and all from some of my favorite authors and now I'm hooked onto a couple of new ones as well. I wonder if we're going to be getting and Tempting Thirds ;-D ( )

Sinful Surrender: Loved it. What a great quick read! I think Naughton's Novella's are my favourite. They feel like perfectly filled out stories. Looking forward to the next in the Aegis series... a full length book! OOh it shall be good!!! ( )

SINFUL SURRENDER by Elisabeth Naughton
In each of these novelettes about the agents who work for Jake Ryder at Aegis the author gives us a perfect blend of suspense and off the charts sexy romances. This one is about Jake’s sister Grace. It seems she has a stalker of sorts and with her aversion to dealing with anyone in the security field her brother secretly assigns Brian Walker to watch her. Brian has been emotionally closed off for so long that his sudden attraction to this woman who is hands off as she is the boss sister is shocking to him. And when this sweet and naive woman comes on to him wanting a one night stand his resolve doesn’t last very long. It’s not long though before they are reminded that Grace has a stalker and wants her dead.

SINFUL RAPTURE by Alexandra Ivy
Holy smoking hotness.. This one will have you squirming in your chair.

SINFUL SECRETS by Cynthia Eden
Even in a short novel Cynthia Eden can give intense. A year ago Catherine Donnelly not only had a hot night of wild sex but she also married the man that was the enemy. She ran out on him the next morning. Now she is back in Vegas because someone is threatening to show a video of that night to world which would ruin her family. She thinks’ its her husband but its not. Jason August has had one goal in mind since he was a boy – to destroy the man responsible for ruining his family – and that man is Cat’s father. He never expected when he met her that she would be his soul mate. He made a mistake and let her go a year ago but now that she is back he is going to do everything within his power to keep her. There is quite a bit of suspense and body count in the web of deceit the blackmailer has cast. This was tough, edgy and smoking in the bedroom scenes – loved it..

SINFUL IN SPURS by Laura Wright
The bones of this story were good but it felt choppy and the extreme quick emotional changes of the characters were too quick even for a short novella. We get a short glimpse of Sawyer Black at the end of a bull riding competition. He’s a previous champion who hasn’t been performing as well lately. He grew up with his best friend’s family and while his friend is overseas serving he asks Sawyer to watch over his sister Keely. Keely is in her senior year of college and is ready to examine the kinkier side of life at a BDSM club. When Sawyer finds out where Keely is he storms into the club to bring her home but Keely refuses to go and makes an offer to Sawyer. Seems these two have been harboring feelings for the other but Sawyer doesn’t want to disrespect his best friend by starting something with his sister and Keely feels Sawyer will never see her as anything but in a sisterly way. She couldn’t be more wrong and once she breaks down his resistance his inner Dom comes out and the sex is explosive.

Its not until he sees a woman being mugged and jumps in that something slowly awakens in him by the woman he just saved.
