As always, Ellora's Cave has produced a sizzling, erotic read from some fabulous authors. Although I enjoyed all these stories, I'd like to highlight Jaid Black's and Ashleigh Raine's offerings. AR offered a quirky erotic romp which left me with a smile of my face; whereas JB's story just scorched the pages. The depth of character and range of emotions she can create in such a short story really show her skills as a writer. This anthology hosts a wide range of erotic genres, from alien battles to werewolves, and from Orgasm Instigators to contemporary romance; more than enough to satisfy any reader.
