What did I just read you ask? I just read one of the best ding dang short erotic paranormal romances that I have read in a long time! I don't generally enjoy books under 100 pages because it is seems very difficult for authors, especially in this genre, to tell a good story in so little space. However, Paloma Beck has done it and done it well. Plus I'm a cheapskate and I don't feel I get much bang for my buck from a short story. Sorry authors, but it's the truth. However, Beck has me giddy with excitement. There wasn't anything about this story that I didn't like. You get the main lead female and male characters getting together right away of course, but it seems perfectly acceptable when you know why it happens so quickly.Layla is the youngest of the seven Sinster sisters who are all part of the Magdalena Circle and have powers and destinies that are directly linked to the Valendite Breed with whom they are meant to mate. Each sister bears the mark of a sin that she is released from after finding her mate. For Layla, lust is her marked sin. Madden, a powerful and respected Valendite Breed male, is her eternal mate. However, their mating has a unique twist that Layla never could have anticipated. That's all I'm going to say on that one, I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't read the book. But it was a twist that happened so fast that I almost got whip lash!This little gem is firmly in the erotica category so if you are easily offended by extremely steamy scenes and need only sweet romance that discretely and delicately hints at passion please don't pick this one up-you may get a case of the vapors! I, in all of my jadedness, enjoyed this very much. This is the first time that I have ever given a book so short a five star rating, but Beck did something phenomenal by making me fall in love with a world in under 100 pages! I am so pleased that I had the opportunity to read Lustful Cravings and can't wait to dive into book 2 Eternal Envy.**I promise that I was not paid to gush this much over this short little book, but I did receive a copy in exchange for an honest review from the author. Beck's gamble on me just paid off!**You can find more from me at Monlatable Book Reviews
