MERGE – Kate Hill (June 2006) – RRT Rating: Multiple O's

Futuristic, Male/Male

In the year 2098 mankind has driven itself to the brink of extinction.  Human males and females are conceiving fewer and fewer children by the year.   Luckily, contact has been made with an alien race also facing the same dilemma.  When scientists determine that the two races can create offspring together, hope is raised that their merged species can be saved.  There's just one problem, the only viable biological match can occur through sexual relations between the males of each species.  Although he has never been a lover of males, Mitch volunteers for the experiments.  Perhaps it's for the huge bonus he'll make, or maybe it's because he feels a need to dominate these aliens that he's brawled with in the past, but whatever his reasons, Mitch believes this is one encounter he can quickly get through and forget.  However, his partner is unlike anyone he's ever met before.  Masculine in nature while androgynous in form, Geron intrigues and beguiles him, and Mitch quickly wants more than just one night.  But can Mitch overcome his fears and prejudices and claim his lover before Geron leaves for home?  Kate Hill creates a passionate non-traditional couple in a fascinating futuristic environment that is sure to hook you and leave you wanting more! ~ Isabelle - 9/20/06

Erotica, Contemporary

A worried Delia decides to ensure her cop husband's safety by performing a sex ritual.  Unfortunately, it's not her husband who is in harm's way.  Much too short and ultimately distressing, this one's hard to recommend. ~ Isabelle - 9/20/06

PLANETFALL – Ariel Graham (August 2006) – RRT Rating: Multiple O's
Erotic Science Fiction

Jenna is bored with life and joins EarthForce, a company that lends helping hands to lesser evolved species. Her first assignment is on Planetfall, which is inhabited by the Shen, who engage in uninhibited kinky sex acts. It’s Jenna’s assignment to “counsel” them about the wrongness of it. But one of her first patients soon turns the tables on her and shows her just how good the life of a Shen is. Short and hot, I wouldn’t mind seeing more tales from Planetfall and learn more about this intriguing species. ~ Holly - 10/5/06

BLINDED BY THE BEAR – t’Sade (August 2006) – RRT Rating: Multiple O's
Erotic Paranormal, Shapeshifter

Wynd awakens to the smell of smoke, the pain of being hurt and the sounds of fire crackling near her. A fire is burning, but she can’t see it because she’s blind. Wynd and her father were on a wagon when it got attacked and she was thrown. Now her father is missing and Wynd is in danger. Crawling away, she seeks refuge in a tree trunk, but is sniffed out by a strange man named Blackfur. He appears kind and takes her to his cave, where he tends to her. As each day passes, Wynd grows stronger and begins to wonder about her protector. Despite her blindness, she can sense there is something about him that isn’t human. As the days go on, she begins to have feelings for Blackfur that soon burst into passion. But can there be anything between a human and a were-bear?

A beautiful, emotional story of a woman who must rely on her other senses to survive and a man who’ll do anything to protect her. As desire explodes between them, BLINDED BY THE BEAR turns fiery hot and involves some shape shifting, which may not be for some readers. ~ Holly - 10/5/06
