Outstanding; the right blend of voices, a myriad of story-lines, stellar character development and fire inducing love scenes.  This powerhouse group of authors are all exceptional on their own but reading their stories back to back is like being at your favorite all you can eat restaurant…the goodness just keeps coming.Sienna Mynx kicks it off with her story Rallenti. This novella continues the Battaglia series (which I think is her best work).  I love mix of culture between the Italians and Nigerians both very strong family belief systems.  The character development in this story is off the charts. Kyra grows as the story grows and characters that I despised are redeemed.  It’s hard not to feel like you are sitting in a dark theater watching the story unfold on the big screen.  It’s also hard to reconcile in my mind that being an “enforcer” is sexy.  My mind says “no” but my heart says “ Rallenti”.Pepper Pace is a writing enigma that is so underrated.  You cannot put her work in a box; I love that I never know what I am going to be treated to when I read her work.  The story “Everything is Everything” harkens the Donald Goines gritty way of telling the tales of the inner city.  Vanessa and Scotty are not your average kids living the average life or anywhere near the America dream, but you root for the just the same.  I want better for these two so BAD.  I feel like the guardian angel for these two.  This is an awesome story and I look forward to part two.Tiana Leveen penned Tattooed Moon and I wasn't ready (in my Kevin Hart voice).  This author knows how to reach a remote place in your heart and tug on your heart strings.  Her descriptive writing makes her stand out in a crowd; it’s tangible.  Of course, the male lead in the story is the textbook definition of an alpha male and highly opinionated.  Milan the heroine balances his character and consumes his love.There is so much more…..I stand in amazement that these amazing authors gathered together to give us Scandalous Heroes.  A year from now we will look back at all nine of the best-selling authors in this box set and be reminded greatness started here.
