The only story in the anthology that I've been able to read so far is Twelve Days of Kinkmas by Raisa Greywood. It's a wonderful story, set in her Club Apocalypse series, and it mostly focuses on Ryan and Carrie. The story is based around the 12 Days of Christmas song, and it has a little bit of everything. You don't have to read the rest of the series to enjoy the story, but there is a backstory to Carrie and Ryan that make this even more enjoyable if you have. I really loved the way Ms. Greywood introduces Carrie, along with the reader, to many different types of kinks, and I loved seeing how Ryan and Carrie's relationship is progressing. It's a steamy read that will heat you up on even the coldest night.

Claimed By My Lawyers - Sylvie Haas:

Yvette (h) is facing legal troubles when Hendrix (H) and Damian (H) spy her and immediately let her know that she is their girlfriend and they’ll be taking over her case. Short fast-paced instalove menage quickie. Given that this story has to meet anthology limitations, the author did a really good job of quickly moving into the story and delivering a lot of heat in just a few pages.

Excellent erotic short story. Very engaging. Ru and Saint are both interesting and likable. I would love to read more about these characters. Definitely keeping my eye out for more from this author. Highly recommended. I received an advance review copy for free and am voluntarily leaving this review.

Twelve Days of Kinkmas by Raisa Greywood
4.5 stars

Carrie and Ryan, the lead characters, have had their story in Pestilence’s Cure, and this is a slice of life story for them - I adore slices of life and always wish they were longer. Carrie and Ryan are at Club Apocalypse for a kinky twelve days of Christmas and they’re mostly watching other kinksters work through themed activities but Ryan is pushing Carrie to actually use her safe words and feel confident that he will actually appreciate her use of them, not be angry!

This short story is dual POV, well written, and a beautiful extension of the main story. I adored the relationship development in the context of kink but especially the underlying trust growth between Ryan and Carrie. The erotic nature of their engagement was a rousing and engaging but I really loved the personal growth and development.

Yvette, the female lead, is being sued for having allergens in her allergen-free cafe that caused a customer to have an anaphylactic reaction. Hendrix and Damien, the male leads, enter her meeting with her lawyer, claim her as their girlfriend, and then advise they’ll be acting as her lawyer and intern. Whilst she’s deeply attracted to them both, she’s not sure they’ll be able to save her…

This short story is female lead POV, well written, and complete though I wanted more. I enjoyed Hendrix’s assertiveness in setting up a situation that worked for them all. I enjoyed Damien’s capabilities and willingness to ensure the relationship was facilitated. I enjoyed Yvette’s willingness to give the relationship serious effort, even though she was in a highly stressful situation. I also enjoyed the sexy intimate scenes and the amusement of such an over-the-top unrealistic but fun setup.

I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
