I really enjoyed these erotic short stories.THE GIFTThe first story by Samantha Kane, "The Gift" is a ménage romance.  Although I don't usually read this genre of books, I thoroughly enjoyed this short story.  It is an extremely poignant story of two men who return home after being held as prisoners of war for several months.  Both men, Rhys in particular, suffered extreme cruelty and torture at the hands of their captors.  Jeremy and Rhys return home to Cordelia, a woman they had both courted and loved prior to her marriage to Jeremy.Jeremy and Rhys have been best friends for many years.  However, while P.O.W.'s they realized a newfound love for each other.  Their greatest desire is that Cordelia will be willing to accept them both so the three of them can forge a new relationship with each other.This story really touched me on an emotional level.I was particularly sympathetic to Rhys who had suffered so much and was both physically and mentally scarred from his horrendous experience.  I was happy Jeremy, Cordelia, and Rhys were able to get their HEA, but I felt the story ended a bit abruptly.  An epilogue would have been nice to allow the reader to see how the three were faring a little down the road.  Otherwise, a very entertaining read.  I give this story 4 stars.  BTW of course it's not clean...there is sex, it is graphic, and the language is crude.  It is after all, an erotic story.  LOLMY HEART'S DESIREThe second story, "My Heart's Desire, by Kate Pearce is a wonderful erotic story.  I loved it!  A five star read as far as I am concerned.  The story is about a young woman who not only loses her husband, but also suffers extensive disfigurement during an accident.  Two years later, Caroline is still living with her overbearing older sister, hiding away from society.  She suffers from an extreme case of insecurity due to her altered appearance.During a house party, thrown by her sister, Caroline is reunited with her old friend, Jasper.  Jasper now wants more than just friendship from Caroline, but she is reluctant to let any man get too close.  The story of how Jasper finally convinces Caroline to take a chance on love is a very sweet, very touching one.I loved Caroline and felt true empathy for her.  And as for Jasper, who doesn't love a man who can overlook a woman's outside to see and appreciate her true inner beauty.  What a hero!  There is, of course, scorching sex as one would expect.  If you like historical romance novels and erotic books, then these two erotic historical romance stories are for you!
