"Paranormal creatures you will love"

In THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT, Nancy, Erica, and Jenna all meet at a Halloween party given by another of their friends. This is their adventure.

Blood Lust by Marilyn Lee
Erica Kalai has finally decided that she will get lucky tonight costumed as a hooker. She no longer has a husband but she does have condoms she intends to use up tonight. Erica spies a tall, dark handsome man dress as Count Dracula across the room.

Mikhel Dumont talks Erica into leaving the party with him. Mikhel eventually takes Erica back to his hotel room and there the fun begins. Sex after sex after sex. Enough sex to make a body sore, but you'll fall asleep with a smile on you face. How are Erica and Mikhel going to work things out? Will Erica stay? Through many pitfalls you get the understanding that both Erica and Mikhel will stand side by side to face everything.

A Little Too Charming by Treva Harte
Jenna O'Neil has gotten bored at her friend's Halloween party. Maybe it's a combination of being over-tired and having no one to talk to that eventually sends Jenna out of the party and back to work. Jenna's been told by her boss that she must get Tedwell "Ted" Grims to sign with their ad agency. To make matters worse on this Halloween, Ted claims he is a witch. When Jenna gets to Ted's Wicca shop she is greeted by a stranger French kissing the daylights out of her. Things progress too swiftly for Jenna's peace of mind but Ted leaves her little choice but to go along with his seduction. However, Ted has secrets that may doom their relationship before it even starts.

Naughty Nancy by Jaid Black
Nancy Lombardo is no longer the wallflower she used to be. She has taken off tons of weight, changed her hair, and even gotten rid of the bothersome glasses she used to wear. Nancy wants men to notice her and she is bound and determined to get some action tonight.

Nancy goes outside for a breath of fresh air and discovers herself transported to a planet with four red moons. On top of that, she's in a nest miles above the ground with no way of getting down. Now if this doesn't panic a girl, I don't know what will. After she screams for help for what seems hours, an eight-foot man appears. A number of misunderstanding happen between Nancy and Vorik.

For everyone who has asked for more sex, more sex, more sex, this anthology is definitely for you. You get the sense that all three women will willingly trade what they had for a chance to be with these men, and will fight for the love. The phrase that comes to mind is "The more things change, the more they remain the same." All three of these stories have lust, love, sex, and alpha males loving their alpha females. There is not a squeamish, whining, complaining gal in the bunch. If you are leery with graphic sex, THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT is not for you. I can now understand why all three authors are in such demand. THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT will have you asking for more.

Summary

"Bloodlust" by Marilyn Lee: Schoolteacher Erica Kalai is always warning her female students against letting teenage boys sweet talk them into bed. But on her 40th birthday, she encounters a man dressed as her favorite anti-hero, Dracula. One look at the younger, strangely compelling giant, and Erica is soon out of her clothes and into his arms. It won't take her long to figure out, however, that she's put herself into the clutches of a real Dracula...

"A Little Too Charming" by Treva Harte: Janna doesn?t believe in magic, or witches, or fate, or even love anymore. Such fairy tales as romance are for women who don?t have to live in the real world. What she?d really like is some hot sex just to satisfy her hormones. Once Jana gets a good look at Ted Grimes she has a very hard time keeping her mind on business. He practically kisses her senseless before he even says hello. Something really weird is going on. Is Ted her destiny? Or is this man who's reputed to be a witch just A Little Too Charming?

"Naughty Nancy II - Book 4 & 1/2: Trek Mi Q'an" by Jaid Black: Nancy Lombardo is determined to become a new woman. No more wearing spectacles, no more pulling her hair back into a tight spinsterish bun, and no more spending every night alone and sexless. Nancy gets more than she bargained for when she's whisked away to a planet of Barbarians and claimed for a mate by an eight-foot tall shape-shifting predator.
