I loved each individual story in this collection the majority of which are by authors who are completely new to me (Aubrey Irons being the only one I'm completely familiar with) and it was such a fantastic introduction to them.

As for these stories they were all packed full of heat and I loved how they were all based around this one Halloween party and blended so perfectly together yet were all so different and entertaining to read.

Overall a fantastic collection and one that I couldnt put down and would totally recommend to everyone. As it really is a great way to find new authors.

This was a great collection of Halloween novellas. Instead of most compilations, where each story really stands on its own, this one featured 12 different couples who experience the magic of Halloween at the same party.

Each story added to the fun of these steamy Halloween stories and I loved how different all the bad boys were. I wish my college professors threw parties like the one described in this book!

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book.

I had some high hopes of finding some new-to-me authors with this compilation. I’m sorry to say it was quite the disappointment. I love the idea of a group of authors that write the same genre getting together to write multiple short stories that flow together into one larger story. The attempt was there, but the execution was terrible in this book. I kept reading though, hoping to find the diamond in the rough. Unfortunately, there is only one author in the bunch that stood out to me. Now, if you want a book that’s sex, sex, and more sex with little to no story that makes sense…this is your book! Here’s my breakdown.

Bad Boy Next Door by Willow Winters

This book didn’t isn’t starting off strong for me. I was not a fan of the writing on this one. It’s not that I have a problem with a first person point of view; it was the way this particular first person was written. And the first real sex scene seemed very abrupt and took the character of Ryker from likeable to insensitive in an instant. I get that these characters have a history so there was no need for a bunch of getting to know you stuff, but it just felt disjointed from the very beginning. – 1 star

Playing for Keeps by Lauren Landish

Much better than the first story in its writing style. I liked the honesty of Jake as to why he never gave Cassie the time of day while they were in high school. They actually have a pretty sweet story, although I thought Cassie’s reaction to Jake’s initial pick-up lines was a bit over the time since it’s what she wanted anyway. The story also had a pretty natural ending point, yet didn’t end there. Nothing that was important for this story occurred after that point. It remains to be seen if it will be crucial to one of the other stories that are coming up. – 2.5 stars
