"Cross the Threshold to a new world"

The Summoning by Shelby Morgen

Marylin Henry at forty-five is convinced that the only man she will every keep is the fantasy man that she has been dreaming about for years. She decides to take a vacation at Desire Island Inn, and invites her best friend Gray to join her. Once there, they decide to drink their troubles away. Gray believes that they will only find their soul mates in an alternative universe. Gray dreams of a lion or lioness as a lover, and Marylin wants a warrior. Someone to make her feel small and petite. Just someone to make her feel special. In her dreams she has loved a fantasy man, from Ancient Egypt to futuristic times. Somehow she always finds her love, then loses him again. Marylin wakes up with a blinding headache -- in the year 2456 with her fantasy man by her side. Can she keep him this time or is this just another fantasy.

Take Me With You by Stephanie Burke

Gary is convinced he is having a major hangover when he awakens to find a pink-haired, bright yellow eyed woman offering him a big bug to eat. It doesn't take long for Gray to realize he is in another world. A world where you herd bugs for food and a woman can become the broodmare for her village. Is the love Gary feels for his pink-haired vision enough to keep him here or is there something better for them?

THRESHOLD VOLUME 2 has two delightful novellas -- very different stories that are connected. I thoroughly enjoyed The Summoning. The interaction between Marylin and her warrior is not to be missed. There are spots that will make you laugh as well spots that will heat up your senses. Take Me With You is the funniest thing I've read in a while. I loved the idea of herding bugs. Both stories are like a mini-vacation. Don't pass these up.
