review 1: This was a very very smutty addition to the Vampires in America series which consists of 9 short stories set in that world. While not all of them take place after Duncan’s book, the last few do, so make sure you don’t spoil yourself!I think these short stories are better read individually than in quick progression, like I did. There is probably a 75/25 smut to story in them, so it might be a little repetitive. Rather than review all the stories individually, I’ll just summarize throw some general comments at you. First, Emma and Duncan are still the best couple in this series. Love, love, love! I wish there was more Emma/Duncan and less Raphael/Cyn, but I understand that they are the center of the universe as far as these books go. It was nice to be reminded o... moref the softer side of the vampire lords, when they’re not constantly under attack. The last story was the least smutty and the most story-y. It was probably the one I was hoping for the most. Sadly, again, not enough Emma, but the story follows the three girls as they hang out and run into trouble (as they often do). It reinforced Cyn’s tough chick persona and made me wish for a true girl’s night out short story. The characters are all fun and witty, which makes for some good reading. If you want a quick read that is filled with smut and little bonus goodies, check this book out (especially since it’s only 99 cents, or free to borrow via prime!).
review 2: really liked this collection of short stories. Funny, lots of sex and some action. Most were short, but a few were over 30 pages. The first one was Cyn & Raphael's first New Yr. Eve together, about 10 pages. Funny with some sex. The next was also about Cyn & Raphael. It was a Valentine's short story, 16 pages. Raphael returns from dealing with leftover stuff from Jabril, and brings back a gift for her, a ring. A diamond band to go with her other ring. The next was Cyn getting an invite to her Grandparent's 60th anniversary party. More sex. The next is a continuation of that one, it's the actual party. 33 pages, and showed Raphael's ruthless protectiveness of Cyn. He meets her father, doesn't care for him, and buys some property out from under him. More sex, and humor. The next one is about Raj & Sarah. He asks her to marry him and gives her a ring. 31 pages, more sex & humor. The next one is about Sophia, and confronting some left over issues from Lucien, 35 pages. She travels to Montreal with Colin to check on a vampire there. There's some posturing and a slight confrontation before she shows who rules the territory. More sex, and humor. Also gives some info on what happened with Darren. The next one is about Cyn & Raphael, and about Christmas. More sex & humor. 23 pages. Then there is one where Duncan checks out one of the blood houses in his territory. Sarah goes with him, against his wishes. There is a little confrontation at the bar, and Sarah stands her ground against a vampire. More sex & humor. About 50 pages. The last one is about Raj & Sarah's wedding, about 100 pages. It includes Cyn & Raphael, and Duncan & Sarah. The ladies go out on a shopping expedition with their daytime guards. Two get kidnapped. They get away and call Robbie (day guard). The 3 ladies return to their mates, who are all furious and become even more uber protective. Then the wedding happens and a little after wedding reception. More sex, plenty of humor, action. These were good short stories, some better then others. I really liked Duncan's story about the blood house, Sophia's story, and the wedding story. less
