A collection of short stories that for the most part are good and hot. A few I would have hoped were longer but I knew that going into reading this book.

While I love most of these authors I usually prefer more in my reads. These are short stories that tantalize and whet the appetite for more and I already have an appetite for more. If you're looking for a collection of short, sweet and steamy romance reads that will leave you wanting more this would be the right pick for you...

This collection of short stories is quite nice reading if you are looking for something easy to read and yet steamy!

This book is good if you are not sure about a book you get to read a little bit of the stories before you purchase the book.

I didn't enjoy this book at all. It is just snippets from full stories but you don't learn anything and nothing happens. I wouldn't class it as an erotica book, the full books maybe but not this one. Disappointed.

A sampler of some erotic works.
The first one features a woman with amnesia being reintroduced to her husband’s kinky sex life. There’s some fun banter, and she seems like an intriguing character.
#2 is about a recent—as recent as possible—Harvard grad looking for investment for her start-up. As usual in these stories, the guy she meets is a total jerk, but I’m sure he’ll somehow redeem himself by the end. It’ll have to remain a mystery, for I’m not interested, just from that little snippet of him.
#3 has a just-legal wannabe submissive at her first gathering, where a Dom instantly takes her somewhere private so they can. . . talk, as in teach her some of the things she might expect were she to consent to playing with him. As far as dominants go, he’s far from the worst, but I absolutely love her. Wouldn’t mind continuing this one.
#4 has a rebellious young woman being interviewed for a million-dollar job without knowing the guy she’s talking to is the one she slept with the previous night. This left me curious about her, and even more the situation.
#5 has a young lady eager to try submission with a guy she basically just met. Her roommate thinks she’s crazy but lets her borrow some clothes for her date and who knows what else.
Though plot wise it’s nothing special, the dialogue makes it intriguing enough for me to want to read more. For once the guy isn’t a jerk, and I definitely liked her.
#6 takes place in Hong Kong, in a ritzy hotel where the lady is overwhelmed by all the splendor before her dinner date with the rich man. But as small-town Midwest as she seems to be, and as much as she wants him, she’s strong enough to make him work for it, and he doesn’t mind. This would be an entertaining couple to follow.
3.5 pushed up to 4/5

Somehow I missed this was a sampler. I read it because it's short but it wasn't what is thought it'd be.

A great little sample collection of books. I've only read Jodi Ellen Malpas previously so I was interested to read the other samples and see what each author had to offer. I will definitely be checking out each authors books.

This was an interesting way to sample different books and authors, though I wish there had been more to each story. In any case, I wouldn’t pay for a preview collection like this - I finished it in 20-30 minutes.

I received a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.

Loved that fact that you have some much in one book. Some authors I didn't know but would give a try now. It definitely sizzles. Will curl your toes and leave you breathing heavy.

I really enjoyed reading this sampler book from these authors. There's not much I can say other than I found a couple of new authors I will definitely check out. Also, it was really enjoyable re-ready my fav Meredith Wild's Hardwired!!

Great book, thanks for the ARC. Fun and realistic! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is a great sampler that includes excerpts from five different authors. The samples were well chosen and a good representation instead of just including the first chapter of each book. It's a great way to get to know new authors!

Great collection to get a sampling of different authors and books!

I didn't realize just looking at the cover that it was a bunch of samples. I did read the description before requesting it, so I read the first two. I actually already read Meredith Wild's Hardwired, so I landed on this page because of the search results for Jodi Ellen. It was definitely interesting to read little snippets.
