"A sword wielding barbarian, a futuristic cyborg, and a meddlesome dragon"

A sword wielding barbarian, a futuristic cyborg, and a meddlesome dragon? Authors Celeste and Corinne Carson never stood a chance.

After years of putting their characters through tragedy and trials, all for the whims of their readers' pleasure, sisters Corinne and Celeste find to their amazement that the worlds they have been writing about are real. Breaking through the barriers of realities, story heroes Mykhayl and Jarred had only one thought in mind: to steal the sisters away to their realities and punish them for the pain they had given, even unintentionally.

In BOUND BY THE DRAGON by Diane Whiteside, Mykhayl drags Corinne off to his fantasy-based world, where the laws of magic and the sword rule. Aroused at first sight of her, Mykhayl plans to spend his spare time making Corinne beg for his touch, while still dealing with issues of his impotence and an upcoming invasion by dark magic.

In the meantime, in BOUND BY THE DREAM by Angela Knight, Jarred pulls Celeste into his futuristic world of ion pistols and space aliens. He plans to slake his lust with Celeste, while battling his internal demons, then give her into the keeping of his sex-driven, harem-owning friend so that he can continue with his life, without worry of her interference.

Little did Jarred and Mykhayl know that the best-laid plans often backfire.

From page one, I couldn't stop reading. It sucked me in, tempying me with both fantasy and sci fi, with romance and erotica. CAPTIVE DREAMS perfectly blended some of my favorite elements, making for an incredible read.

The only disappointment for me, is that I have to say good bye to the characters. I especially want to see Jarred and Celeste again. They were definitely not your usual hero and heroine. Oh, and I wouldn't mind if that giant green lizard was brought back. I love dragons, meddlesome creatures that they are, and Khyber definitely lives up to the meddlesome part.
