5.0
14 Shades anthology 5 stars X 14!
Who needs 50 Shades when 14 is clearly enough!! This anthology is erotic, dirty, hot, deviant. It promises no judgement for your preferences, fetishes, or desires. This is Fourteen shades of hot. Fourteen shades of yummy. Fourteen shades of O.M.G! Some of the stories could lead to more. Some stories were more! I can’t complain about a single one.
Story 1 is called Petition Denied by Alyson Hale. It is about a husband and wife. And like all good, long marriages, communication is key. However, the wife, Lana wonders if divorce is the answer to their relationship differences. Anton, the husband, has a different way he wants to handle the situation. There’s a shirt circulating on social media that says “every girl wants a guy with a little Christian Gray in him.”
Story 2 is called Darkness Consumed by Ariel Marie…This is about bad girl Arissa, who kills for a living. She meets a guy, Ryland, who turns out to be the love of her life. But how can this possibly work? Great start to a what should be an amazing story! Cannot wait for the rest of this!
Story 3 is Excitable by Britteny Coon. This could easily be the best story ever. I really hope there is more to this one! What could possibly happen when two doms get together!? A sure battle of the wills!
Story 4 is Consensual by Cristina Slough and is about husband and wife duo of Michael and Erica. But holy moly the names could be changed to be my life. Married with kids and no time to do anything dirty! This couple is feeling like they are drifting apart. Together they decide to check out the local swing house. After a night of fantasy will their marriage survive? Have they changed too much? Another 5-star story!
Story 5 is called F*cking Addicted by JA Kerr. This story is as hot as it can get for two young addicts. No drugs or alcohol needed. Just a whole lot of sex! This story kept me turning the pages and has me wondering if there will be more of Keira and Aiden.
Story 6 is Forever Promises by JL Baldwin. This story tells about our friend the demon, Elijah. Elijah has a secret from his wife and mate of over 20 years. When she finds out what he is keeping from her will she send him to a fiery death? Great immortal intro that could lead to a series if Baldwin desires.
Story 7 is A Strange and Distant Safety by Jennifer Loring. “The truth is that I’m tired of pretending. He may have kidnapped me, but I’ve been waiting for him my whole life. Someone to steal me from my commonplace life. To save me from it.” I have no other words for this very deep, revealing, crazy story that I loved!
Story 8 called Wicked Games is by Lilly James. What the What?!?!! Wicked Games indeed! Wow! “Our love is based on flaws and scars not romance and hearts.” This story is about Lyle and Ivy, with a few minor characters thrown in. These two love to hate each other, they degrade each other, their relationship is toxic. I wonder if there will be more outside of this anthology. Will they get what they deserve!?
Story 9 is called Affliction by Marie Skye. Ooohhhh that Marie Skye. She is so good. She loves to give it to the reader! This story is no less than intriguing, hot and captivating. My only response to this story is MORE MORE MORE! There is a secret or a feeling of something else in this story only it is never revealed. Killian is a professor at a college and a doctor. He has a vendetta against the Clyper family for killing his parents and sister. He doesn’t expect the unknown of Alegra Clyper. I cannot wait to read the rest of this story!
Story 10 Story of Us by ML Rodriguez. Rodriguez is another new to me author from this anthology. And what the what!?! Rodriguez’s writing has pulled me in, grabbed me and has not let go! #neversawthatendingcoming This story is about Adelina and Cristian and so many secrets and lies are in play throughout this story.
Story 11 is a story called Her Mistake by N. Mills and is the only biker story in this anthology. But what makes it even better is that it is hot and sweet. A biker vs librarian story. There’s all kinds of action and mystery! I look forward to seeing where Mills takes Trick and Jezabelle. (Love these names!)
Story 12 Miss X by Quinn This story is a good reason the anthology has the name it does! This story is about Lana or Jane and Damien or Michael. No one tells the truth in this story or so it seems. Which is just the first of the fourteen shades of effed up this story is!
Story 13 is Killer Dom by S. Valentine. This story while quite deadly, it was funny in a twisted sort of way. Karma rules this story in my opinion. Brandy and Reid are perfect!
Story 14- Another Last Chance by Zack Halford. Wow, last but certainly not least is a story that is a complete mind screw! Hal is richer than anyone, has more power that anyone and is dying. He wants to go out on his terms and is with a new program he can go out in ecstasy. But greed and lust fill this crazy story and there are plot twists waiting on every turn of the page.
I can’t believe that I have found 12 (of the 14) new to me authors all in one place! This anthology is definitely for the 18 and over crowd...maybe even the even older crowd! The title kind of tells you just how this anthology is going to go, but you really have no idea!
