"Three wonderfully funny tales of lust and love"

There's No Such Thing as a Werewolf by MaryJanice Davidson

Drake Dragon is a physician who is just a little different. Not only is he blind but he is also a werewolf. He has done well for himself by using his werewolf senses to help patients. Most people didn't even realize that he was blind. One night he meets a young girl who helps him. He doesn't know what to think, he can actually see her. Not just shadows, he can even tell the color of her eyes. This has never happened before. He is not able to let her out of sight now that he can see her.

Crescent Muhn has been on her own for years. She was used to doing things her way. She is attracted to Drake for some reason, even if he is older than her. The next thing she knows she is sharing a house with him. Besides, he has the perfect house for jumping off. After all, she knows she can fly. It just hasn't happened yet but she knows it will. What will Drake think if he knows her secret? What will Crescent think when she finds out that Drake is a werewolf?

This is the shortest story of the group, but it is one of funniest I have read in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Ms. Davidson certainly knows her werewolves. You don't want to miss this story.

The Lust Bastion by Michele R. Bardsley

Kira Maxwell had been left unsatisfied again. Her last few relationships were all wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am type of guys. For once she is going to get satisfaction. At an adult store, Kira is sure her problems would be solved with the Pharaoh 3000, the ultimate in vibrators. Kira was really amazed when the glamour woman in Egyptian clothes offers to help her. The next thing she knows, she is going home with a two hundred and fifty dollar "The Great Smenkare".

The Great Smenkare is not just a vibrator. It turns out to be an Egyptian prince who has been cursed to be a sex slave due to his treatment of women 3000 years ago. Kira finds just what she needs to satisfy her sex life. But what happens when she has to return him in 30 days? Smenkare finds something he never had before, love. But he knows that Bast will take him away anyway. Can Kira save Smenkare?

The Lust Bastion has revenge, humor and hot sex. It had me laugh out loud in spots. It's a great story about why you don't want to anger the gods. Bast came up with the perfect revenge by turning Smenkare into a vibrator. A great read.

Drenched in Affection by Chris Tanglen

Tim realized that his marriage was over when his wife bulldozed their home, destroying all his horror movie collectables along with the front of the house. He decides that his next relationship is going to be different. He would make her feel special. He would be so romantic that she would never want to leave him.

Melody, a writer, was living with a handsome guy seventeen years her junior. Her sex life was great, but it seems her writing took all her free time. So he dumps her and goes home to mom. Melody decides the next boyfriend would be different. She would make him feel special and well loved so he would never leave her.

When Melody walks into Tim's restaurant, Tim is immediately attracted. Will it be love or will the competition to prove who was the most romantic kill them both?

I loved the comedy mishaps of Tim and Melody as they fall in love. I could just see it happening. This was a delightful anthology that I thoroughly enjoyed. A great read for a cold winter afternoon.

Summary

There's No Such Thing As A Werewolf By MaryJanice Davidson
He's a doctor. Blind from birth. Alone and lonely his entire life. Oh...one more thing: he's a werewolf. She's homeless. And too young by far. Worst of all, she's crazy: she thinks she can fly. And keeps leaping off buildings to prove it.

Is it lust? Is it love? Anything's possible...if there's such a thing as werewolves.

The Lust Bastion By Michele R. Bardsley
