"Three excellent science fiction/paranormal romance short stories."

"Earth-Born Lord" is part of the Kegin Series. Justin Hayes is a rebred human but because of his Kegin roots he must find a Kegin woman to mate with. While at the breeding office he meets his future mate, a woman named Renna. They marry and travel to his home where they can consummate their relationship and hopefully conceive.

"Playing Games" is part of the Night Warriors series. Police officer Denise Roberts is trying to find out why women are being abandoned at hospitals -- with no memory of how they got there, anemic, and with puncture marks in their necks. Little does she know that solving this crime will bring her into contact with two less-than-human beings who are playing a game of cat and mouse with her. Will she give herself to one of them?

"Stealing Innocence" is also from the Night Warrior series. Haylie is out for a night on the town dressed in an unusually provocative way. When she catches the attention of Lorin, a sexy good-looker, she can't believe her fortune. What she doesn't realize is that her good fortune is really a vampire.

I enjoyed this collection of three short stories. The plots and characters are well developed and the stories are well written. While I would recommend them for a good short read, I would suggest reading previous related works in the series in order to have a better understanding of the worlds and characters.

Rating: erotic.
