The scenes between Ayailla and Roanen are smoking. The love they share is beautiful. I found Ayailla a strong woman especially when it comes to helping others. She shows not only strength but bravery. With the passing in time, she faces any challenge that comes her way. I really adored the way their passion and devotion was tested through the years. Shelby Morgen pens a tale that stirs the imagination and keeps the reader on their toes. I love how she connects Marylin and Ayailla in this thrilling story. The Summoning: A Northlanders Tale is a brilliant read that deliciously engages the reader.

Reflections by Treva Harte
Lilli Dayton makes reservations at a cozy Inn , then shoots the email to her husband and waits his arrival. Perhaps this little recreation will make him forget about his excessive work for a while. While waiting for Mason, she takes pleasure in an antique mirror. Each time she looks at herself in the mirror, she is reminded of good times. In no time the mirror transports her to another time and place. One that is indeed inviting, with a special dream lover, by the name of Harry, that promises tantalizing moments as she takes employment as Governess for his lovely daughter, Anabelle. Lilli never expected her to develop a lingering desire for Harry becoming his mistress. Will she return to Mason where the love had died or stay in the arms of Harry where she finds passionate times?

Treva Harte captivates the audience with her story between Lilli and Harry. The erotic passion that transpires with Lilli and Harry sizzles. I could feel Lilli’s pain as she tries desperately to keep her marriage afloat. Then finding happiness through the mirror of time has the reader wondering will it last or permit Mason to complicate matters. Reflections is definitely a story that entertains the reader while sending blazing heat throughout the pages. This splendid tale is gripping at its best.

Take Me With You by Stephanie Burke
Gray thought meeting Marylin at a quaint Inn would be a delight. They would celebrate her divorce with her husband then share some conversation and drinks about old times together.

Gray is certain he is dreaming or perhaps hallucinating. Gray really doesn’t like bugs but he knows the people need help. He and Gethla are different from each other in many ways. Can he get over his fright before it is too late?

Take Me With You is a stunning read. Stephanie Burke instills some great fun mingled with heated passion, and a touch of intrigue. I love how Gray and Gethla were different from the other and how they faced the difficulties that came their way. They both have pointers they teach the other that makes this story an eye-opener. Ms. Burke keeps the reader spellbound as she creates an Earth that makes one wonder about possibilities of such events. She creates an awesome read that hooks.

Desire Island certainly knows how to capture the reader and hold until the last page. These three talented ladies deliver some scrumptious tales that will delight beyond anyone’s imagination. Steaming hot, sexy, and downright fun, these are stories not to be missed in this trio of delights.
