  • The Erotica Anthology on Jan. 27, 2013

    If you are not 18, this book is not for you! Synopsis: Erin O'Riordan has penned some short stories, articles and film reviews for webzines such as Clean Sheets and the Erotic Woman. She has also contributed to Hustler Fantasies and Playgirl. This collection of short stories also has a sneak peek of Erin O'Riordan's full length novel, BELTANE, Pagan Spirits, Book 1. Also the previously unpublished "HERBERT". The collection is quite good. It seems to me it moved rather fast, maybe it was just a fast and furious read. They were fun interesting stories with a big touch of HEAT. In THE EROTICA ANTHOLOGY there are six short erotic stories and are more than hot and steamy. The titles are Herbert, Beltane, Anatomy of a Lesson (A Tribute to Our Bodies, Ourselves), 900, Innocent and Going With the Flow. Anyone who reads erotic stories will find more than one story to satisfy their need. If you are a fan for the heat of desire than you've found the right book. I especially like HERBERT Dante Sugar had rust colored hair that gently curled. The curls partially obscured his long, dark curly eye lashes and his brown-green eyes. He had luscious cinnamon lips. You could just eat him up. The descriptions made you a little warm, well, maybe a little hot. Dante Sugar was arrogant. He kept checking his reflection in the mirror over the bar and smoothing those curls. He was a full quarter faery on his father's side. Dark creature of the night. I feel somehow, that makes him all the more desirable. Like the bad boy. Beltane- original short story on which the novel was based occurs in the middle of May. First of Three important harvest festivals on the Pagan calendar. I received this complimentary e-book THE EROTICA ANTHOLOGY from the author, Erin O'Riordan for this unbiased review. http://www.goodreads.com/books/show/12123561-the-erotica-anthology http://bemiown.blogspot.com The book contains unsuitable content for readers 17 and under and may be offensive to any age reader.
  • Twenty-Five Years Ago Today on May 28, 2013

    REVIEW: I was never quite sure where the mystery was going. But that's good because it keeps you wanting to read the book. I did a lot of wondering about the mystery. Kris Langley worked the night shift writing obits, weddings, etc. She came upon a 25 year old murder. Kris wanted to help the family so she investigates. Did she find anything new after twenty five years? Kris feels close to this since her cousin was murdered when Kris was younger. They caught the killer. She wants to make everyone feel better so she was determined to find Diana's killer. She thought it would make a difference. there was a long line of suspects and they knew someone had been stalking Diana. This is a great murder mystery. You'll find yourself caring for the family just as though you were part of it. I'd recommend this book to anyone. It is well written, the characters are well defined and the plot keeps you turning the pages. So grab up a copy and curl up on the sofa and help find Diana's killer. I would give this book 4.5 Stars. I was given a complimentary copy of this book from Smashwords on behalf of the author, Stacy Juba, for an unbiased review.
