The Isle of Naxos
Ariadne is a princess, the younger daughter of King Minos of
Crete. She has vowed to marry only after her older sister
Phaedra does; since her sister is so beautiful, no man will look
at Ariadne. One day, Ariadne broke that vow when she asked
Theseus to marry her, but alas, Phaedra got to him first. Ariadne’s
heart is broken and her sister forces her to be exiled to Naxos,
a remote island. Ariadne is settling into her new life when a
stranger appears. He tells her his name is Baccs, and he brings
out in her feelings she’s never had before. He’s kind,
trustworthy, but more importantly, he’s attracted to her and not
because of who she is. As the days pass, Ariadne wonders if
she’s found her one true love. But who really is Baccs and why
is he there?
Brenna Lyons has penned a warm tale of love among mythical
Greece in BLACK SAIL. Ariadne’s low self-esteem rises under
Bacc’s erotic tutorage and those who’ve wronged her may soon
learn a lesson of their own. For a charmingly told short story,
head on over to Phaze today for BLACK SAIL.

began. When a blizzard hits just as a long weekend begins, the
pair find themselves alone in their freezing dorm. As the two
roomies bond by watching a scary movie and huddling together
under Paul's comforter, it's quickly apparent they're connecting

The Jits released a virus, Jit'suku, in an attempt to eradicate
mankind. But, they were defeated and humanity will not be gone
in three generations as the Jits had hoped. There is, however,
still the possibility of extinction. Very few males are born and
Dr Amber Waithe takes great pride in her Sons. She should; they
are all genetically perfect, designed to her specifications.
Their main mission in life is to sow their seed in order to once
more make the human race viable.
One of them, Ezekiel, has run into trouble and is aground on a
planet with binary suns. Despite his stamina, he succumbs to the
heat and solar radiation. He is found by Angela, a member of a
small society that was never affected by the virus.
The Jits have not completely given up and Ezekiel has to work
with damaged communication equipment to tell his mother and
others of the pure Colony without letting the Jits know. Soon
Ezekiel's feelings for Angela go beyond procreation and duty.
When his brother, Michael, comes to the rescue, they join Angela
for a sensuous afternoon romp.
Short, hot and sexy, I recommend EZEKIEL.

Molly has
been dating Seth for two months, and so far things have gone no
further than a kiss goodbye at the end of a date. So when Seth
asks Molly to go away with him for a weekend of snowboarding,
she jumps at the chance – and conveniently forgets to mention
that she doesn’t know how to snowboard. Of course, if Molly has
her way, neither of them will be seeing any snow!
Though it
has a romantic setting and an interesting premise, HALFPIPE
ROMANCE focuses more on the troubles Molly and Seth have trying
to take their relationship to the next level than the sex
itself. As a romance short story, it works well, but the erotic
aspect of HALFPIPE ROMANCE isn’t as well-developed.
