Cupid is hot to trot! One fateful weekend at a country estate, a beautiful, well-bred widow is caught between a rock and a very hard place when she must choose between two deliciously irresistible lovers...in Lacy Danes's seductive tale of courtship à la mode, Torn Desires. Long-distance lovers Edie and Ty are counting the hours until their scorching Valentine's Day reunion, each titillating the other with steamy letters describing their erotic journeys. And getting there is definitely half the fun in Megan Hart's wickedly wild Get There. Eternal damnation has its perks—especially for a voluptuous succubus who is about to receive a very special, very hot Valentine's Day "gift" from her demon lover...in Jackie Kessler's ode to paranormal passion, Hell Is Where the Heart Is. London's most irresistible rake has one week to prevent the woman he loves from marrying another. And he plans to do so by adeptly employing his most well-practiced arts—seduction...sensation...and erotic love—in Jess Michaels's sumptuous feast of juicy Regency romance, By Valentine's Day.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

Romantic reads are plentiful in this collection of erotic stories. Settings range from nineteenth century England, to modern day America, to Hell itself, but all feature a couple trying to find their way to everlasting love on that most passionate of holidays—Valentine’s Day.

Lacy Danes’ Torn Desires—A post-Regency tale of the cheerfully debauched is certainly sexual, if not exactly romantic from my point of view. It’s a smooth read but not to my taste—too many bodily fluids.

Megan Hart’s Get There—The author’s gift for language is showcased in this novella. All lovers will wish they had a reunion as hot and delicious as the one in the story, not to mention all the tantalizing literary foreplay.

Jackie Kessler’s Hell Is Where The Heart Is—Best Valentine’s Gift ever! If you’re a demon, that is. Kessler shows off her creativity in this story. Just because your job is having sex doesn’t mean it can’t be special with the one you love.

Jess Michaels’ By Valentine’s Day—A winter game—can it lead to a lifetime of sensual pleasures? Can a rake and a lady, old friends, find a future together?

If you are looking for a solid quartet of erotic romance novellas, you will enjoy A RED HOT VALENTINE'S DAY.
