Reviewed by Dawn
Four erotic stories from the mistresses of romance that will leave you begging for more as fantasies and inhibitions become undone and satisfied in every possible way. Can you resist the desire to try on a corset and see if all your fantasies come alive……… one lace at a time?
Jaci Burton kicks off this fabulous anthology with THE TIES THAT BIND. Meet Lisa Mitchell, a divorced woman who doesn’t quite remember the last time she had sex much less a relationship with another man. Friendly with her ex-husband, her ex teams up with her best friend and daughter to give her a vacation of a lifetime and to see if that spark that smoldered between them is still there. Can one woman let herself go to the flames as the past collides with the present?
Oh my god….Ms. Burton doesn’t disappoint as she kicks off UNLACED with a story that is both tender and erotic at the same time. A story of one woman who still desires her ex though she has pushed back her longing and desires for so long, it is a miracle she hasn’t combusted before now. Fast paced storyline combined with so much sexual tension, I was fanning myself trying cool myself down. I enjoyed the way the two main characters, Lisa and Rick, bantered and worked their way through their thoughts and desires.
Next up was Jasmine Hayes, UNDONE. A story of an older woman wanting to prove to herself she is still desirable after her ex-boyfriend insults her pride and heart. When she comes across an ad for a model for an amateur photographer, she never expects it to be a night she will never forget.
Oh my, this was the first story I have read by this author and she doesn’t disappoint me at all. Margo is out to prove that since turning forty-five, she is not old news and is out to prove to herself she is still a desirable woman. Finding out that the photographer is sexy as sin has Margo ready for anything, even though she may never see him again after this one night. Wow, this was sexy, fun, flirty and very erotic. With the right amount of tension and playful banter, Ms. Hayes delves into a world of older woman/younger man scenario and delivers a story that capturers your heart along with your emotions. I was rooting for Margo and Dirk to get together in the end though I did have to cool down as this was a really hot story.
Delving into a world of Domination and submission, the next story by Joey W. Hill, CONTROLLED RESPONSE, had me almost ready to scream from the sheer delight of it all. It was wild, erotic and such a pleasure to read that I was looking forward to seeing this author’s backlist. Meet Cassandra, a woman tightly laced up and controlled in all ways possible; until she meets the one man with enough strength to get her to lose control, one step at a time. The only problem Lucas has is getting Cass to trust him enough to let him be in control. Man oh man, this was a deep emotional story that centers on dominance and submission but in a way that shows the love, understanding and strength of it all. I thoroughly enjoyed CONTROLELD RESPONSE and look forward to more from Ms. Hill.
Finally, Denise Rossetti delivers a dark and passionate story of RUBIES AND BLACK VELVET. A sorceress tossed aside, a magical corset that will make any woman become a femme fatale and the one couple determined to break its reign of destruction with the power of love.
RUBIES AND BLACK VELVET is a dark story that involves black magick, love and erotic passion thrown all together and mixed briskly. Strong characters, fast pace and erotic passion brings two former lovers back together as they try to deal with an enchanted corset bent on destroying love and delivering vengeance. Can Meg and John find a way to break this magical spell before one or the other dies from the corsets dark desires?
UNLACED is one of those anthologies that delivers something for everyone, be it former lovers learning to love again or dark desires coming out to the satisfaction of both partners. I enjoyed this anthology very much and look forward to reading more of these stunning authors' other books. Do you dare to get UNLACED and see what hidden desires you hold deep in your heart?
