Each author was new to me and these are the stories I’m reviewing:
Bear – by Teagan Brooks
I had a big, soft spot for the biker named Bear in this story. A man willing to help and look after someone purely because it’s the right thing to do melted my heart.

This story is an entire family affair, but at the heart of the story is a young girl trying to grow faster than her parents would like.

Review/Synopsis:
Review:
In this new anthology, where you’d think darkness reigns supreme, but it’s more about women empowerment and how women find their own happy endings…or beginnings.
This anthology is jammed pack with short stories, prequels, and novellas. Here is a look at just a few I reviewed:
Len Webster’s Juniper;
Len is a fantastic writer of angsty love triangles. Juniper has been in love with her friend Benny forever, but Benny has recently fallen in love with Darsha. This new development hasn’t lessened Juniper’s feelings any, but tell that to her best friend. While Juniper has tried her best to shove those feelings in a box, it doesn’t help when she has to see him making kissy face with his girlfriend. While it’s been almost a year and Juniper knows she needs to move on it’s easier said than done. However, when she meets Brandt, he might be the answer to finally starting a new path. Could this be the beginning of Len’s famous triangle?? While she doesn’t mention this continuing in a bigger book, it does have all the lovely components of a Webster angsty novel, so I’m hopeful to see these characters again.
Kelsie Rae’s Samantha;
A second chance love story. This novella is sweet and steamy all rolled into one second chance romance. Phoenix and Sam were best friends until Phoenix moved away ten years ago, but neither ever forgot the other. When they were just six years old they made a pact to marry one another on their twenty-fifth birthdays. Phoenix is now a rock star and Samantha is just an ordinary girl living in LA, they shouldn’t have the opportunity to run into one another, much less think about a pact they made almost twenty years ago, but can birthday wishes come true? This particular story, or at least these characters do continue in Kelsie’s next book.
Check out this book full of empowering, strong women.

Obsession and forbidden dark romance, this anthology is filled with everything taboo. Yummy!
I chose Erin Trejo’s MC romance, Devious Obsession, and her short story did not disappoint with everything forbidden.
Both Harley and Devious were watching one another from across the way. Looking at each other through the windows or rooftops of where they lived, a deep obsession began without ever seeing much more than a body shape or shadow outline. It certainly made for some wicked fantasies, but that was all it was. Stalking one another from a distance, until it became more.
However, Devious did have an advantage, he actually knew who Harley was, so her form actually had a face when he gave into his fantasies. Harley was also off limits as she was the daughter of his rival MC. Even though he knows she is off limits, it doesn’t stop him from stalking it only makes it more tantalizing.
This story is super delicious, extra streamy and dark, while all wrapped up in a short story. I loved it.

About Ashley Jade Ashley Jade is a top 20 bestselling Amazon author who craves tackling different genres and tropes within romance. Her first loves are New Adult Romance and Romantic Suspense, but she also writes everything in between including: contemporary romance, erotica, and dark romance. Her characters are flawed and complex, and chances are you will hate them before you fall head over heels in love with them. She’s a die-hard lover of oxford commas, em-dashes, music, coffee, and anything thought-provoking…except for math. Books make her heart beat faster and writing makes her soul come alive.
If she’s not paying off student loan debt, working, or writing a novel–you can usually find her listening to music, hanging out with her readers online, and pondering the meaning of life.
About Cora Reilly Cora Reilly is the author of the Born in Blood Mafia Series, The Camorra Chronicles and many other books, most of them featuring dangerously sexy bad boys. Before she found her passion in romance books, she was a traditionally published author of young adult literature.

When she doesn’t spend her days dreaming up sexy books, she plans her next travel adventure or cooks too spicy dishes from all over the world. Despite her law degree, Cora prefers to talk books to laws any day.
About Jade West Jade has increasingly little to say about herself as time goes on, other than the fact she is an author, but she’s plenty happy with this. Living in imaginary realities and having a legitimate excuse for it is really all she’s ever wanted. Jade is as dirty as you’d expect from her novels, and talking smut makes her smile. She lives in the Herefordshire countryside with a couple of hounds and a guy who’s able to cope with her inherent weirdness. She has a red living room, decorated with far more zebra print than most people could bear, and fights a constant battle with her addiction to Coca-Cola.

She’s written nine books and has many more planned for the years to come.
About Lylah James Lylah James lives somewhere in Canada. She is usually pretty busy but she uses all her spare time to write. If she is not studying, sleeping, writing or working – she can be found with her nose buried in a good romance book, preferably with a hot alpha male. Writing is her passion. The voices in her head won’t stop and she believes they deserve to be heard and read. Lylah James writes about drool worthy and total alpha males, with strong and sweet heroines. She makes her readers cry – sob their eyes out, swoon, curse, rage and fall in love. Mostly known as the Queen of cliffhanger and the #evilauthorwithablacksoul, she likes to break her readers’ hearts and then mend them again.

About Sam Mariano Sam Mariano has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. She lives in Ohio and has a lovely daughter. Because of You was her first finished story (she started writing it when she was 18) and due to a full-time work and college schedule, it took her years to finish. She has also been telling people for years that there would never be a sequel (sorry, guys!)…which turned out to be a lie. In addition to the sequel, After You, Sam Mariano is currently writing another sequel, Irreparable Lives, featuring Ethan and Willow. She hopes you will love them as much as she does—but be warned, it’s a darker romance!
About Sierra Simone Sierra is a voracious reader of all things including the smuttiest smut, young adult, piles of non-fiction for research, and everything Bill Bryson (especially on audio). She loves writing the dirtiest things that she can think of, King Arthur, sparkling water, Tarot, coffee, leggings, and learning new words daily. Her previous jobs have included firing ceramics, teaching living history lessons in one-room school house in full, 1908-approved school marm attire, and working as a librarian for several years—not in that order She lives in the Kansas City area with her husband, two children, and two giant dogs. (And two cats, but they’re so naughty we don’t talk about them.) The social media she cares about the most are Spotify and Instagram. Following her in those places is a true love language, indeed.
About Skye Warren Skye Warren is the New York Times bestselling author of dangerous romance such as the Endgame trilogy. Her books have been featured in Jezebel, Buzzfeed, USA Today Happily Ever After, Glamour, and Elle Magazine. She makes her home in Texas with her loving family, sweet dogs, and evil cat.
Full of dark or delicious sinful stories by some of the best authors who write in this genre. Many have co-written or brought out a new solo piece to truly make our dark sides happy. All of these short stories, or snippets of stories on works soon to be released, they are all excellent and I for one wasn’t disappointed!!
Here are a few highlights or synopsis of what’s inside:
–Sold To The Highest Bidder By Aleatha Romig & Skye Warren I haven’t had the chance to read all of Skye’s books, especially the world this story was inferencing. Whereas I am more familiar with Aleatha’s as I’m right in the middle of one of her trilogy’s, however, this short story had me highly intrigued to jump into Skye’s books. This short story, while short, had lots of twists and turns and was packed with suspense. I loved the plot and it had me wanting to read more.
–Mr. Foster By K Webster & Sam Mariano This short story falls on the sinful side of this anthology. An age gap/workplace romance where Chelsea Parker comes to intern at her fathers’ best friends PR firm. Mr. Foster does his best to keep things work related, but Chelsea ends up impressing him in and out of the boardroom. I love both of these authors separately and together they bring the sizzle!!
–Stalker By A Zavarelli & Ashley Jade A twisted short story involving a stalker and his prey.
–Poisoned Hearts By Giana Darling & Parker S Huntington A dark, mafia short story, what happens when two families are crossed in an arranged marriage.
-Dirty Bargain By Lylah James & Cora Reilly A mafia/enforcer short story, who hires who to make the kill?
–Not A Dirty Little Secret By Giana Darling & Sierra Simone A MM forbidden short story.
