Night Games by T. k. Leigh was a great start to these characters. Being the greedy reader I am I always need more. I am really liking Lincoln! I can't wait to see these two fleshed out more.
Dirty thoughts
This was a super quick but enjoyable read! Hallie had a crush on Levi in highschool and she sees him again in Vegas. Seems the feeling is mutual between the two of them. My only complaint is that I wanted more! It was a great story to read when time is limited.
Thank you for the privilege of reading this story! Well done ❤️

This review is for a Stephanie St. Klaire's story Close Encounters. (Will update once I read the rest of the stories)
This story was all action from start to finish. Cain and Charlie are trying to stay alive. The story was so good and so twisty and so different, I couldn't put it down!

I was lucky to get a copy of this gem early.
I was able to read 2 of the stories before release and wanting to devour the rest. This is a fun anthology with a quite a few new to me authors. One of my favorite things of anthologies is I get sneak peaks of authors I have never read before and this group really had a fun idea for this anthology.
Blind Faith by Lauren Runow
This is the main reason I signed up for the opportunity to read this anthology early. I love all the words from Ms. Runow. And I will say this story did not disappoint. We get fun and sexy in one quick story. But as always when I read Ms. Runow's work I want more!! ABSOLUTELY a must read!!
Close Encounter by Stephanie St. Klaire
Like I said at the beginning of this review I love anthologies because they are a way to sample new to you authors in a fun way. This is definitely a new to me author. For this being a lshort novella I really did enjoy this story. You get a roller coaster ride while reading and you can not turn the pages fast enough. When I was done with this story I quickly ran to my goodreads to check out all of Ms. St. Klaire's books because I will definitely be reading more of her work! A must read for sure!!!

Night Games by TK Leigh
I REALLY enjoyed this novella! I can't wait for the full novel.
There wasn't anything to speak of that I didn't enjoy about this book. From the meet to the meet again to the meet again, then final meet, I really enjoyed this story.
The characters already have me hooked! I need more for them, and thank goodness I will get it... hopefully soon!

Close Encounter by SSK is action packed, full of suspense, humor, and sexy times during a full on Blackout in Las Vegas. This is everything you want and expect from Stephanie. Cane is cousin of the Brother's Keepers and he is in charge of protecting Charlie from a serial killer determined to get the one who got away from him. Throw in con-artists Skye and Eddie, with a strong penchant for PDA who wind up wrapped up in this mess by helping Charlie out, and you've got a story you won't be able to put down. It ends in a cliffhanger, and I cannot wait for the continuation of this story in Stephanie's new spin-off series, as well as the other stories in this anthology.
I thoroughly enjoyed this anthology. There was something for everyone with each story. There were stories that made me laugh. Stories that made me gasp with twists and stories that made me swoon. I loved each and everyone of them. I loved finding new to me authors and I can't wait to go back and read more full stories by them.
5 stars
What a fantastic anthology. I preordered this book as soon as I had heard about it because Vegas is my favorite US city. The storyline intrigued me.
I really liked the various spins on how to work their stories into the Blackout. Many of these authors were new to me an d left me pleasantly surprised. For an anthology this was very well done because every story combined gave a nice variation on this story as a whole. I liked that because it is so hit and miss in anthologies.

Honeymoon Hideaway-Blackout-Cary Hart
If you're looking for a fun and hilarious read, then Honeymoon Hideaway is a must.
Everyone needs an Aunt Dottie! She also needs her own book, Cary!! Vegas (yes, that's her real name) was never meant to go back to Vegas, expect she had no place else to go. She definitely wasn't supposed to run a wedding chapel, yet here she is. When the owners pass, they leave it to their grandson, Grant, who didn't even show up to their funeral. Either wanted to get married. Vegas actually hates Grant. Until...

This is a collection of steamy, contemporary stories that revolve around Vegas and what happens during a blackout in the forbidden city.
Given this premise, there are so many options on what would happen when all the lights go out in the the city where "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". This is a city where people already lose inhibition, so the additional cover of darkness adds another layer to whatever someone is feeling. It heightens awareness of sensuality, mystery, or fear to a whole new level. This book is filled with tales of the same night and everyone experiences something in the city of sin.
Blackout is packed with excellent authors and lots of steamy romance, thrilling experiences, and titillating storytelling. This anthology holds something for everyone and certainly for the price you can't go wrong in picking it up and discovering authors you might not have read before.
Here are just a few of my personal favorites:
"Blind Faith"- Lauren Runow
When a blackout happens while staying in a hotel room, you are locked out of your room, because oops, the keys all work on electricity, and to top off the madness...you are standing in the hallway in your bathrobe. Yeah, life would seem to be kicking you in the face right about then. As helplessness, panic, desperation and lots of other emotions begin to kick in, because hey, you're basically naked, stuck in the hallway, and it's dark. Life doesn't exactly hate you when the hot guy across the hall comes to your rescue.
Mr. 7007 may offer up his sweats and his company so you don't feel quite so alone, but as the night goes on Mr. 7007 might actually be Mr. Trouble. Was it coincidence that he happened to be in Vegas, prepared, calm, and seemed to know just a little too much? Gemma has a lot of questions, but will they ever be answered?
Blind Faith was a heartwarming story that was also thrilling. I enjoyed the mystery mixed in with the sweetness of the story.
"Night Games" T.K. Leigh
Is it fate when you run into the same man multiple times in different locations? Could fate possibly intervening on your behalf because you are too stubborn to fall in love?
Whether fate has a hand in your love life or not, Chloe doesn't believe in happily ever after, but when she runs into Lincoln multiple times at different locations, while staying in Vegas for a bachelorette party, she begins to wonder the meaning behind it. When the lights go out in Vegas and they spend a night getting to know one another, playing board games since all means of technology or electricity is down, she experiences a level of intimacy she hasn't felt in years.
Lincoln and Chloe experience an extended foreplay long into the night, that when they do decide to go to bed their chemistry is explosive. Perhaps fate knows what she's doing after all.
This short story reminded me how much I enjoyed TK's writing. Unfortunately, I haven't read anything of hers for a of couple years, but her writing is flirty and page turning. I am looking forward to catching up on the Chelsea and Asher (the other couple you get a taste of in this story-I need to know what happens!)
This anthology is filled with several other stories and I hope you pick up the anthology for yourself so you can read each and every one to discover just how thrilling a blackout in Vegas would be.
