Note:

In the interest of being better able to keep this list up to date, I'm no longer going to be posting my own synopsis/comments about the books I've been reading. Instead, I'm just going to post the blurb from the cover. To be honest, it takes a lot for me to not like a book, so you can pretty well bet that only the keepers make it to my booklist.

13. Sexy Beast II

by Kate Douglas, Noelle Mack, & Kathleen Dante

I used to think of books like these as mind candy - stories that have no nutrition but are okay as a treat once in awhile. However, this book changed my mind. Yes, it's an erotic romance anthology so it has plenty of sex, but primarily it has really good stories that just happen to have sex in them.

From Kate Douglas we have a story of the Chanku, one that pre-dates Wolf Tales IV. This is the story of Lisa's sister Tala, who's lived a troubled life made worse by the fact she suffers amnesia. It's not until she's discovered by a Chanku couple, Mik and AJ, that she finds her true destiny.

Noelle Mack spins a tale of a hairdresser who goes on a fantastical vacation to France to groom a lion's mane. There she finds the immortal Jean Claude and is caught in his web of fantasy. And no, he's not a shapeshifter.

Kathleen Dante presents a tale of a woman on a quest to find information regarding her parents. She's rescued from a car crash by a hunky sheriff's deputy who helps her discover an astonishing family secret.

Any one of these stories makes this book worth buying.
