2.0
Unlike the first collection, which was all m/m, here we're given a variety of sexual pairings. I am not a fan of multiples or stories that fall into what we in fandom call "Plot What Plot", which is simply sex scenes. While I did read some of the stories, nothing really was my cup of tea so I finally gave up.
"First Time Fang Bang" by Victoria Blisse. m/f/m Curious about the vampires at The Point, Carrie dresses up to visit the club. She soon attracts the attention of Jean and Sebastian, two local vamps. A bit too much sexual fantasy with little emotional connection between the characters. 3 out of 5
"Ghost Beside Me" by Kathleen Dienne. f/m In the country for a friend's wedding, Tricia is booked into a haunted hotel. When things turn creepy, she finds shelter and sexual comfort with Justin, another guest. Tragic and sad, but wonderful characterization. Graphic sex scene, but at least there was some emotional connection between Justin and Tricia. 3.5 out of 5
"Fangs, Fur, and Fae" by Marie Harte. f/m/m/m Devon Meadows is desperately searching for a place to hide from her childhood friends. Even her fae talents aren't helping against the vampire/werewolf hybrid triplet men. Alistair, Lachlan, and Douglas Drake was to mate with Devon and won't take no for an answer. Considering that I'm not a fan of threesomes, you can imagine how little I cared to read about a foursome. And the fact that Devon isn't interested in getting involved at this time makes this borderline rape even if the author throws in that Devon is really attracted to the men and might be interested sometime in the future. 3 out of 5.
The last story is why I finally gave it up. It might suit other readers, but it is definitely not my cup of tea.
