Cave Creek Cowboy Ménage
When the heat turns from friendly to deadly…
A dynamite duo, Zandra and Spence are best friends with a history of sexual exploits. When a handsome cowboy joins them, three isn’t a crowd, just pure raucous fun for all.
But something goes wrong. What starts as amusing entertainment with a splash of kink, becomes complicated for Zandra. She can’t control her emotions. What’s worse, Jake brings more to the ménage than anyone suspects—a desperate stalker.
Jake’s already questioning whether the experimentation is messing with his mind, not because of Zandra’s bisexual friend, Spence, but because Zandra awakens feelings he’d wanted to bury forever. Even worse, she’s missing and everyone thinks he’s to blame. Jake’s life is what he wants, freedom to fulfill his every desire and some he didn’t know he had. He doesn’t need a six-foot-tall blond complication…

Kyle Hansen is the black sheep from the poster-family for dysfunctional relationships. His reputation as a hell-raising womanizer began at the ripe age of twenty-one when the woman he fell in love with became pregnant and didn’t want him. Since then he’s been on a mission to prove her right…he doesn’t deserve to find someone who’ll love him.
Juel Kelly’s world spins out of control when she comes face to face with the only man she’s ever loved. He’s unredeemable, incorrigible, and disrespectful, but she wants him as much as she always did, maybe even more. Teaching Kama Sutra had always come easily until she’s coerced into using her ex as a partner for a demonstration.
Unbeknownst to both Kyle and Juel, family and friends from Cave Creek have decided to get them together again. Can Kyle risk another rejection, and can Juel handle the heat from a Cave Creek cowboy?

It’s a welcoming place…one where you drink in the beauty, coupled with the sensation you’ve stepped back in time. This weekend, while driving our daughter home from the Scottsdale cancer treatment center and hospital, I had the occasion to reflect on Cave Creek. We came the back way, up Scottsdale Road and through Carefree and then down Cave Creek Road. While Carefree is beautiful, it doesn’t smack of the quaintness Cave Creek exudes. Nor, for me, does it make me smile when life weighs so heavy on my heart.
http://britblaise.com/blog/?p=23
Every Friday night, for several years, my mother and father, my husband and I went out to eat. We tried to dine at different place each Friday, and seldom ventured into Phoenix because dining out in Cave Creek was so much fun. Many of the places we frequented are gone now, along with my parents…but my memories remain. Bittersweet now as I reflect, but mostly just sweet while I’m driving through the quaint village they made their second home.
I live over the mountain, and not in Cave Creek proper. I’ve thought of moving there, but that was my father’s dream. While he stayed on a ranch there with friends in the winter, he didn’t buy a property. He couldn’t convince Mom to release the purse strings. Until he died in 2004, that spring, right before he died, she agreed. And they started to look in earnest. He died in April. That summer, while I helped Mom get her finances in order, I found she’d stashed an ungodly amount of money in a passbook savings, earning less than 1 percent. It was enough for Dad to buy his little chunk of heaven in Cave Creek. I take solace in the fact, I lived here in AZ, where he loved to come. If I hadn’t been here, he could never have dragged Mom out of Ohio, even for the winter!

Fantasy Quest by Tina Gerow
Astiria Petrey needs a vacation and when the opportunity for a free one pops up, she takes advantage of the opportunity. Fantasy Quest is a beautiful Caribbean resort where the oddest things keep on happening such as room service arriving with exactly what it is she wants to eat without her ever ordering it. It’s enough to make a girl wonder if she’s losing her mind. As a self-proclaimed computer geek, she’s more than happy to play video games while a storm brews outside.
Lord Lerik is a strong and powerful master warrior that lives in Verrath, an alternate universe to Earth. He’s been waiting for the mate that the Seer foretold would arrive when the time was right.
Tina Gerow is an absolutely delightful author. If you’ve read either book in her Maiden series, you’re in for an immediate chuckle as soon as you start Fantasy Quest. I was completely captivated by the characters in Fantasy Quest and amazed by Ms. Gerow’s creativity. Astiria’s insecurities and Lerik’s ability to alleviate them brought balance to their relationship.
Guarding the Hellion by Linda Wisdom
Brad Hayes is hired by Shar, the Lord of the Underworld to keep an eye on his baby sister, Raven. Raven is not to know he’s there to protect her while she’s on vacation.
Raven convinces her half-brother, Shar, to let her go on vacation. Shar doesn’t know that her main purpose is to spend the time trying to come up with a way to have to return Below.
Guarding the Hellion is a lighthearted romp with several serious moments. It’s a nice balance and both Brad and Raven are likeable characters. Their private thoughts and interactions were entertaining. Their chemistry was hot and exciting. I enjoyed reading Guarding the Hellion.
Mac To the Future by Dakota Cassidy
Jaynie Renfro is the Editor-In-Chief of That’s Amore’, a magazine owned by her mother. She hosts the annual cover model contests yet is not impressed by man-girl vying for the coveted role.
Cormac of Anglesey, or Mac, is from the year 1450 and is on a quest to find his magic sword.
Mac To the Future is fantastic. Jaynie’s interaction with the cover models was hilarious and her inner ramblings pure entertainment. Mac is truly a sexy man with a rapier wit and his bantering with his sword is absolutely delightful. Dakota Cassidy really “owned” these characters and made sure that they lived up to their potential. I wish this had been a full-length story, as I didn’t want it to end!
Time Thieves by Brit Blaise
Colonel Daken Parker is a Borka, and head of Shadow Team Ten. He’s been sent with his team to catch Korin, individuals that wreak havoc throughout time and space. When a security guard attempts to stop his team, they try to erase her memory and when they fail, are forced to take her with them.
When Jenny Bender came upon five men breaking into a storage unit, she didn’t know it would save her life by altering the future. When one series of events leads to another, she offers her assistance and her loyalty to these men and their quest to save the future.
Brit Blaise is a master storyteller. The characters in Time Thieves jump off the pages and the storyline is both action packed and exciting. The love scenes are so hot you’ll be challenged to catch your breath. I hope that this is the beginning of a wonderful new series because I would love to hear Peck’s tale. Or Lawsard’s. Or….

Four Fallen Angels from Fallen Angel Reviews
Knights of the Magical Realm: Warriors Gone Wild
In Knights of the Magical Realm: Warriors Gone Wild be prepared for action, adventure, lots of laughter, and plenty of heat.
Tina Gerow starts off the anthology with Fantasy Quest.
Astiria Petrey is on vacation at Fantasy Quest; however, the beauty of the beaches and sunsets seem lacking. The only man who appeals to her is within the confines of the resort’s online game. What happens when she finds herself standing next to her dream man?
Tina Gerow always delights with her ability to blend humor and romance. With unusual situations and witty dialogue, I found myself smiling throughout. The connection between Astiria and Lerik is passionate and romantic. What I especially enjoyed is how Ms. Gerow crafted an ending that captures Astiria’s personality to a “t”.
Linda Wisdom continues with her own type of warrior in Guarding the Hellion.
Brady Hayes owes a very powerful demon a favor. Fortunately, all that is asked of him is to guard said demon’s sister while she is on vacation in the human realm. Of course Brady is expecting someone hideous, not the vivacious and alluring Raven. The ideas running through his mind have nothing to do with protection.
Guarding the Hellion is a fun story. Raven is nothing like readers or Brady expects and thus begins the excitement. The instant chemistry between them delivers some wonderful scenes. Raven’s secret intent brings conflict and tests the bounds of their feelings, but also makes this a unique romance. The story flows well from start to finish with the ending being especially touching.
Mac To the Future by Dakota Cassidy is next and it continues the trend of sexy warriors.
Mac is not from our time and he is especially not your average cover model contestant. This warrior is on a mission and it does not include discovering the best hair gel and sleeping with a Prima Donna author. However, his quest is interrupted by lovely coordinator, Jaynie Renfro. Can this time traveling hero finish his mission and have the girl too?
Dakota Cassidy delivers plenty of raw wit and comical dialogue. Jaynie’s dilemma is enough to have any woman rolling their eyes and laughing at the antics of her charges. Mac is a wonderful counterpart to this often too serious woman. He brings her laughter and passion that are wonderful to experience. These two combine to create an unlikely, but well-matched couple.
Brit Blaise rounds out this anthology with her engaging story, Time Thieves.
Daken is on what should be his last mission. He and his team are supposed to stop the latest round of time thieves and return home. Only their mission hits a snag in the form of Jenny Bender. This twentieth-century cop can’t believe the bevy of sexy men before her; even more unbelievable is that she is stuck with them as they embark on a fantastic assignment. What’s a girl to do?
Time Thieves is an action packed story that brings this anthology to a wonderful close. I was impressed with the level of character development and storyline details Brit Blaise conveys in this short story. Not only are Daken and Jenny fun to get to know, but the additional characters have this reader hoping we will be seeing more of them.
Knights of the Magical Realm: Warriors Gone Wild is winning combination. The four distinct stories combine to create a composite piece of work well worth reading.

Fantasy Quest - Tina Gerow
Fantasy Quest Resort, the Caribbean and Verrath - Present Day
Astiria Petrey is on a free vacation at the Fantasy Quest Resort, the perfect place to relax, read and walk on the beach. Her sister, Amy and brother-in-law, Doug, spent their honeymoon at the resort and enjoyed it so much that they bought this trip for Astiria’s birthday. So far the resort has been spectacular, the room service team seems to be able to read her mind, and the weather has been beautiful. But when a storm rolls in, Astiria decides to try the online role-playing game that is named after the resort. With Max, her trusty stuffed gargoyle, by her side, Astiria answers the list of questions designed to enhance her game play and she chooses the handsome warrior, Lerik, as her game required consort. But when the game starts and Astiria finds herself in her elfin character’s body, complete with “stripper boobs”, and a live version of Max, in a place he says is Verrath, the game is suddenly way too real. When Lerik shows up looking like he just stepped out of her fantasies and with the kind of attitude she’s always dreamed of, Astiria has some decisions to make. Is a world of goblins, gargoyles and lords the kind of place she could live in forever? And when Lerik sees the real Astiria, flaws and all, will he even want her to stay?
After reading Fantasy Quest Resort, you’ll never look at role playing games in the same way. Viva la consort!
Guarding the Hellion - Linda Wisdom
The Underworld and a remote Pacific island - Present Day
Favors are a great thing, as long as someone owes you one. When it’s the other way around, well then they can be a real pain. Brady Hayes owes someone a favor, not just anyone, but Shar, Lord of the Underworld. Now Shar has called in his marker, and luckily it’s an easy request, as all Brady has to do is watch over Shar’s younger half-sister, Raven. She has been granted a short time above to think over her family situation and accept the place she has in Shar’s political ambitions below. When Brady meets the Malibu Barbie look-alike, he’s overwhelmed by the attraction he feels for her, then he finds out she feels the same way. Can Brady hope to have a future with the Dark Lord’s sister? Can Raven convince her brother that her place is in the mortal world with Brady? And last but not least, what happens when Raven finds out her brother sent Brady?
With the ability to make herself and Brady invisible, Raven finds some very public places to have a little fun. Now that’s a skill that could come in handy.
Mac to the Future - Dakota Cassidy
Somewhere in the United States - Present Day
Have you ever dreamed of spending some time with the handsome model from your favorite romance novel’s cover? After reading this story you may decide that isn’t such a great idea after all. Jaynie Renfro is in charge of corralling the contestants at That’s Amore’s latest cover model contest. As Editor in Chief of her mother’s magazine, Jaynie is less than thrilled to be coerced into this job as she doesn’t even enjoy romance novels. And the metrosexual man-boys in the contest are driving her insane with their demands; “Jaynie, I need hair gel.” “Jaynie, it can’t be that brand!” Sheesh, where’s a real man when you need him? There’s just one contestant Jaynie lusts after; Mac with the fake Robin Hood accent. Sure it drives the ladies wild, but really, it’s a little insane, even if it does send a pleasant tingle down Jaynie’s spine. Unbeknownst to Jaynie, Mac, or Cormac of Anglesey as he would be called in his home, is a time-traveler who battles injustice wherever he’s called. After spending a steamy night together, Mac reveals the truth to Jaynie and asks her to accompany him on his travels. What would you do? To see what Jaynie does, you’ll have to read the story.
I’m not sure that I’m adventurous enough to take up time traveling, but for a man like Mac, I’d seriously consider it.
Time Thieves - Brit Blaise
Las Vegas, Nevada - Present Day
Colonel Daken Parker is the leader of Shadow Team Ten, Borka men are from the twenty-ninth century and move through time trying to stop the Korin who are a society of rich men who use their power to take what they want, kill recklessly, and change history in the process. The Borka are heroes for the common people, revered for their willingness to put their lives on the line protecting them. Every time the Borka time-travel, they face the threat of both the Korin and the damage to their bodies that time traveling can do. This is Daken’s last mission, as next up is retirement and marriage to a submissive, petite, twenty-ninth century woman. But when Jenny, a beautiful, spitfire woman is saved by his team from what should have been her death, the timeline has been changed and decisions must be made. Can the team fulfill their mission and preserve the timeline? How can Daken look forward to being with a subservient woman when he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the determined Jenny?
With an interesting plot and lots of action, Time Thieves provides non-stop thrills. (yes, Yes, YES!!!!!, Brit says!)
The strong men, and fiery women, fuzzy purple gargoyles, and talking swords who populate WARRIORS GONE WILD will entice you to forget your worries and enjoy the moment. The sex is hot, the locations interesting and the plots are surprisingly well developed for the length of the stories. WARRIORS GONE WILD is deserving of a place in your library.
