CLICK TO PURCHASE! This collection contains the following novellas: Dark Desire, Summoning Darkness, Darkness Becomes Her, and Seduced by Darkness.

Heidi Cole was on a night out with her sister when it pours with rain. Her sister gets her to go to a magic show. The magician has an erotic affect on her and suddenly he is pulling her onto the stage to be part of the show. He puts her into a coffin and makes her disappear...to another plane. There he joins her and brings her to pleasure to save her from the beast that wants her. Then Luke, the magician, disappears. Heidi is determined to save him. Some time later, she opens a portal. Unfortunately, magic doesn’t always do what it should and when she pulls Luke through, she also pulls his cellmate too. A man who is raw sex appeal and who keeps dark secrets. Heidi is now on a journey into the darkness where her body, heart and humanity will be demanded. Also, the one thing she doesn’t want to sacrifice, her men.

As a fan of Lacey Savage, and one who has read these novellas separately, I was thrilled to see them together in one collection. Ms. Savage is an amazingly, talented writer who keeps her readers enthralled. She gives her readers characters to fall in love with and a plot that makes you breathless. And to put the cherry on the cake, she gives her readers satisfying love scenes that will have you panting along with the characters. Yes, there is a lot of graphic sex in these stories, but Ms. Lacey doesn’t write it for the sake of producing an erotic story. She infuses those scenes with emotions, bonding, deeper characterization and most of all they are very poignant. This talented author builds a world that comes to life and writes an adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is one book I would like to see in print...and on my shelf.

CLICK TO PURCHASEIsabel Warren is standing on a bridge trying to make up her mind to throw herself off. At 41 she’s not old and she’s running a clinic that tests males for fertility. In 2030 a virus ran rampant and most of the male population was made infertile. It seems that older women are now the most dangerous thing around since the virus itself. For when they make love to a younger man, that man will become infertile. Isabel has done just that, and not with one man, but with two. She has ruined their lives and has destroyed herself. How could she go against the morality laws that forbid such ‘Dirty Love’. Connor and Trevor have other ideas and are not going to let her go so easily. They are willing to risk everything for the woman they both love, but is she willing?

As with every book by Lacey Savage, I just sigh after enjoying a really good read. Ms Savage gives her readers a story with great characters that are full of emotions. A plot that delivers a few surprises and sex that will knock your socks off. In this story we visit a very bleak future where women over forty are no longer allowed to have sex with men. A vibrator can help for a while, but a full-blooded woman needs a man to completely satisfy her and our heroine is no different. As usual, Ms. Savage infuses this story with emotions and feelings that will have the reader sitting on the edge of her seat in one moment, and in another squirming in her seat. I can’t get enough of Lacey Savage’s work and am always on the look out for her next release.

When Eliza’s daughter announces that she is getting married at Cowboy’s Hideaway, she is elated. She’s been having fantasies about its owner, Jacob Clarke even though he’s twelve years her junior. She can’t indulge in her fantasies, he is after all the best friend of the groom and as a stand-up comedian, she’s considered a bit eccentric as it is. She needs to play the demure mother-of-the-bride. But the location brings her even closer to her fantasy and even Jacob seems to be always close and seeking every opportunity to get near her. Eliza has had enough; she wants to see if her fantasies can come true. She needs to persuade Jack that she is a naughty madam who needs to be punished, and big, bad, sheriff Jacob is just the man to do so.

No matter which genre Lacey Savage tackles, she always manages to give her readers an exciting, deliciously sexy story with a surprise at the end. Here, we are introduced to the sexy, sassy Eliza, an older woman whose daughter is getting married, and Eliza may be old, but she ain’t dead. I loved how she embraces her femininity and uses it to the full. I think many of ‘us’ older women have a secret fantasy of being seduced by a younger man...oh my! This talented author has the uncanny knack of infusing her stories with a whole lot of emotion so that the reader just takes the characters into their heart. I loved this story and plan to read it again. You can pick up any of Lacey Savage’s books and thoroughly enjoy a fantasy of your own.

CLICK TO PURCHASE! Ava Atwood has come to her cottage for some needed rest. Newly divorced and the author of The Diva’s Handbook, her own love life is sadly lacking and her libido has practically died. What she didn’t expect to find was a big black wolf sleeping on the bed. Then it turns out that the owner of the wolf is renting the cottage from her ex-husband and has lived there for two years. She also didn’t expect this man to awaken her libido and the fact that he has an aversion to wearing clothes doesn’t help either. But Devlin isn’t out for only a short fling and he struggles to tell her the truth about himself while he seduces her. She tries to ignore her suspicions but when Ava finds out the secret that Devlin has been hiding, will she run in terror or accept the obvious.

This author has done it again. You can always expect a heart-gripping story, a good plot, tight sexual tension and a very good dose of hot sex in Lacey Savage’s stories. I always look forward to her new releases and devour them with relish. In this story, she puts a very hard working, lonesome man toether with a woman who is facing a change in her life and is looking for herself. Lacey Savage keeps her readers on the edge of their seats as she leads them through a story full of rich description and deep emotions. I am always astounded how this author can pack so much into a short story. Not one word is wasted. The romance is thrilling and hot. Hot enough to steam up the monitor and the reader. Yes, Ms Savage, you still have me panting for your next release!

Angie has her twin brother and his friend over for a game of Dungeons and Dragons every week. She’s been dreaming about Scott, her brother’s friend for years, but Scott only seems to see her as his friend’s sister. So, she’s spent her game time, fantasizing about their characters in the game. A web designer by day, in the game she’s a sorceress who is more than willing to submit to his elf character. Then, one night, they both get sucked into the game for real and get to live out the fantasy. After all her years of wishing, Angie is a pro at playing the seductive sorceress. But, what will Scott do, when he’s faced with the fantasy of a life time and a willing, sorceress who is ready to do whatever he wants?

Yes, naughty in this title is right on and as with every story from the talented pen of Lacey Savage, the reader is sure to have a few fantasies of her own come true. Ms. Savage always, yes, always gives her reader good value for her money. Not only in her characters, which are always very much alive, but in a great story and some really scorching, hot, seductive, romantic and erotic sex scenes. This one may just melt down the monitor, so reader beware. Have some ice cold water ready or a good man handy. This reviewer thought the plot rather clever, using the Dungeon and Dragons game. This is a fantasy you will not want to miss. But another warning, if you’ve not read a Lacey Savage book before, this author has a large backlist!
