Review: Different and HOT!

Anthologies are hard to review … do I review each book separately or should I review the book as a whole? My decision is to review the “book” itself, not break down each story but comment on certain things that caught my attention.Honestly, I smiled throughout this anthology. I enjoy capture fantasies because they take me away from the normal grind of life, they don’t make me wish it was me and I know that none of them would be my book boyfriend. Well, I can’t say that … Leia Shaw’s Baen definitely had me wishing for a Scottish Brogue … Talon could take my vein anytime and if a Preyfinder wants to find me, I will personally put my coordinates into his GPS. I have to give Sorcha props – even though I don’t usually like straight f/f (I do enjoy f/m/f or m/f/m) she caught my attention with Shiloh and Moth and held it throughout the story. Then we have our Aliens … both stories were hot, steamy and outrageous. I honestly loved all the books in the anthology even though they were all so different from each other.With that being said, Capture Fantasies can be a hard read. You have to open your mind to the possibilities, look the other way at what could be illegal or immoral in the real world, and hold on for what could be a wild ride through space and time. It’s a touch of paranormal mixed with some BDSM and then topped with the HEA – sometimes in a weird, round-about way. Each author had their own style of writing, of telling a story. I was familiar with 3 of the authors and the other 3 were new to me so I was looking forward to this sampling of new and old. I am always a little hesitant in reading a new author and am usually pleasantly surprised, and I was not disappointed in any way. Each story was well written, fun, exciting, sexy and a story unto it’s own. They didn’t overlap and no two stories were alike – it was like reading 6 different books in one shot. So, enjoy Kept and keep an open mind … you never know when an alien, Scottish lord or vampire may come to you at night and sweep you away to an alternate universe.Review copy provided for an honest review.
