"Miznari" by Stephanie Burke

Miznari Anderson is a cover artist and costume designer. She had planned a threesome with her boyfriend and her best (male) friend. Unfortunately her boyfriend seemed to prefer her best friend instead of her. Running away, she runs into a blue fairy. Only Kell is not really a fairy, he is Prince Kell of Lornadale. He had just escaped from a female pirate who wanted his sperm. It seems that if she gets pregnant with a daughter she would be the next Queen of Lornadale. Kell had been given a powerful aphrodisiac just before his escape and Miznari is just in the mood to take advantage of his problem.

This great story had me laughing out loud. I loved Kell and the way he is a softer hero, just what Miznari needs. Miznari on the other hand is a tough, fast-thinking, nothing stands in her way type of woman. I couldn't put the story down. This spicy little read is a must-have for all collections.

"Colonial Ghost" by Mlyn Hurn

Kerry Perry looks just like your average old fashioned schoolteacher. Except that her sideline is writing erotica. When her hotel reservation is lost, the manager hooks her up with a new bed and breakfast. When the owner arrives in leathers and riding a motorcycle she knows that she is in trouble. By day she lectures at the convention; by night her dreams are taken over by a ghost that looks a little like the handsome owner. Is he the one giving her the mind-blowing sex or is it really a ghost? I guess they will both have to wait to see what's real and what's ghostly.

"Colonial Ghost" is filled with hot sex scenes. I enjoyed the way Ms. Hurn weaved the story of the ghosts lost love. The ending was unexpected but just what the story needed. A fitting end to a great anthology. Don't pass up any of these stories.

Miznari by Stephanie Burke
Miznari Anderson thought her world was coming to an end. First, she finds out her boyfriend Mike lusts after her best friend, Aaron.

But Kell isn't a little blue fairy. He's the prince of his planet and certainly not little, but a size-altering warrior who has the hots for Miznari. Now Kell has to defeat the evil Stinza and figure out a way to keep Miznari as his mate-bond. Easy, for a determined hunk like Kell. All he needs to keep Miznari happy...lots of love and sex.

And the man who rescues her from that dragon...he's dark and dangerous, powerful and muscular, and so devastatingly sensual that a mere glance makes Natalie want him with an urgency that frightens her.

While tracking down the loathsome killer of Fae, Evvan of the Devline Elves rescues the strikingly beautiful, yet peculiar Natalie. From the moment Evvan saves the maiden, he has every intention of possessing her in every way.
