eBook Review: Ashes to Flames by Nichelle Gregory

By

Ashes to FlamesAshes to Flames by Nichelle Gregory is an erotic romance short story released as part of Totally Bound’s What’s Her Secret? series. In this case, the secret leads into a very unique short tale that I enjoyed very much.

The heroine of the story, Sabria, has been searching for her blood-bonded mate, Jai, for over a year. If they don’t reunite soon then both their lives will be cut short. When she finds him, though, her delight is quickly quashed, because it turns out he doesn’t know who she is, and he’s engaged to someone else!

This has never happened before, and Sabria does not know how to react, what to do. She doesn’t want to hurt Jai or his fiancée, but there is a great deal at stake if she and Jai do not consummate their bond in this lifetime. She must find a way of making it happen, and fast.

Jai, on the other hand, is deeply confused. As soon as he laid eyes on Sabria he knew there was a bond between them, something he could not explain or comprehend. He knows he must find answers and that she can supply them – but how can he do this without upsetting the new life he’s built for himself?

Soon, the mysteries of his past are too much, and Jai must find out what on Earth is going on. When he does, though, his whole world is turned upside down and he must overcome more than just disbelief to get what he really wants. How will he fix this?

Ashes to Flames is an excellent short story. It’s a unique storyline with equally unique characters. The premise is fascinating, as is the way the story unfolds and the way the characters react to this. There is quite a lot to deal with in a short space of time, and I feel that this could have been expanded upon, but the tale still worked. It’s a really intriguing, well-written story and one I’d recommend to fans of paranormal erotic romance – particularly if you’re looking for something different.

eBook Review: Sleepwalker by Tanith Davenport

By

SleepwalkerI’ve read and enjoyed Tanith Davenport’s work in the past, so I looked forward to checking out Sleepwalker, a paranormal erotic romance short story. It tells the tale of Tally Haslam, a woman who is a herbalist and aromatherapist, who hasn’t been in a relationship for a while. One night stands are all well and good, but anything more seems impossible as men get the wrong idea about her because of her choice of profession.

Her customers also ask her to make an aphrodisiac, a task she’s happy to take on, but it’s difficult, given she has no one to test her creations on. Just to add insult to injury, she sleepwalks, too.

In an attempt to get away from it all, Tally goes to nearby Madigan Hall for their annual Paranormal Evening. On the first night, much to her dismay, she sleepwalks. But what makes it even more disturbing is the fact that when she wakes up, she’s outside the room of another guest, one who she catches in the act of pleasuring himself. She manages to get away without him seeing her, but her awkwardness is not easy to ignore when she finds herself at the same table as him the following evening. There’s clearly an attraction there, but when the paranormal evening starts properly, Tally ends up seeing the ghost of the Blue Lady, who seems attached to her, somehow.

When Tally wakes up outside Kyle’s room again, she’s floored, especially when it becomes apparent that the Blue Lady has led her to him deliberately. She has no idea what the hell is going on, but doesn’t have time to find out, as Kyle discovers her outside his room…

This was a really fun story, with Tanith’s usual great writing style and hot sex. The storyline was intriguing, particularly as different threads got woven in. The only downside to Sleepwalker is that it was too short – I wanted more, much more of this tale. But, nevertheless, I’d recommend this to fans of paranormal erotic romance.

When I first began planning Sleepwalker, it was intended for an anthology called Bayou Heat and was to be set on a plantation. However, by the time I got to writing it, the anthology was no more and I needed a new location – and I found one by spending the weekend at a stately home turned hotel.
