This fairytale like story is simply delightful.While at first I wasn't sure what to think of Wendy's easy acceptance of the various `duties' assigned to her, I found her upbeat personality and enjoyment of her peculiar situation witty and exciting.In addition I got a huge kick out of the prologue to this story.

I have to confess, I loved this story and not just because it's full of hot sweaty sex either!I was fascinated by Cad's rogue attitude and his tough persona while it's so obvious that he's falling for Jade.They're wonderful characters stuck in a world that doesn't understand them or their needs.

Three great short stories!
Warlord's Destiny by Delilah Devlin

As a member of the Mellusian royal family, Mora was chosen to fulfill the decades-old Promise of a bride for Lord Tetrick, the ruler of Kronak. Although, by rights, it was Mora's older sister who should have fulfilled the promise, Mora was chosen because she was - according to her parents - "sturdy." In truth, Mora was a buxom, sturdily built girl, but she was nervous and - almost - frightened by the prospect of a future on another planet, among barbarian people. She had even heard rumors that they could make a woman scream with delight from their lovemaking ...

This one is very good. While not breaking new ground in the genre, it is well written, with a plot that moves along fast, and a believable conflict between the protagonists. The love scenes are extremely erotic, and involve male/female and multi-partner sexual activity. I really liked the fact that the heroine is a large-sized woman who learns that she can be sexy too.

Love Me Tomorrow by Sally Painter

Only a million humans had survived the Final Coup years before, when the Demrons invaded Earth and destroyed human civilization, as we know it. Commander Shalene Courers was among them - she lost her husband that terrible night. Now, she commands a reconnaissance troop of rebels, trying to cause as much trouble for the Demrons as possible. On one mission, they discover that a human collaborator is helping the Demrons. Shalene is determined to capture the traitor, and make him tell everything he knows to help the rebel cause. But the situation is not quite as it seems - for either of them - and they find they must work together to save the human race.

This is a science fiction story that skillfully incorporates romance/erotica elements. The story is quite interesting, with a fairly complex plot. I quite enjoyed it, although I did think the author put too much emphasis on what I felt was a relatively minor plot point, and then had to rush the climax and conclusion. The sex scenes are quite explicit, with just a hint of kink.

Secrets of the Wind by Charlotte Boyett-Compo

Major Chastain Neff is a Riezell Guardian, a highly trained member of a special force within the Fleet. The Guardians protected important people from assassination. When the story begins, Neff and her partner have just completed one mission successfully, by saving their client and blowing away the bad guy. Although Neff is due several days of leave - and does she need it! - her superiors give her another assignment immediately. She is to protect the heir-apparent of the Council of Cosaint, Prince Ruan. Ruan, on the other hand, is a warrior himself, and thus unlikely to go along with the Council's plans. Therefore, a bit of subterfuge is required, and Major Neff must pretend that she is a helpless female and play upon Ruan's protective instincts and libido to get her into his household where she can protect him.

This is a very interesting science fiction love story that integrates the two different styles quite well. The writing is literate and engaging, and there are some twists and turns of the plot that will surprise the reader. I found it slightly difficult to follow in some spots, because the back-story is revealed piecemeal throughout the action. The reader must flip back and forth in some places to understand the timeline. This was a minor problem, however. The love scenes are quite graphic, and, in some cases, funny - the characters seem to have a liking for role-playing during their love-making.

I enjoyed all three stories in this book, although I will admit that I enjoyed Warlord's Destiny the most. OK, I'm a sucker for arranged-marriage-to-barbarian prince-from-another-planet stories! Maybe it's the idea that change, even if one doesn't choose it, can be good. This book is a fun read, and I recommend it to those readers who enjoy futuristic romantica.

Embrace the Wind
When Reaper Eanan Tohre is brought to the Citadel, he doesn't know what lies ahead for him. He's not aware of having done anything wrong, but he still feels uncomfortable. And he's horny. Being a Reaper means it is easy to find a woman more than willing to help him with his needs. Why he's been summoned and placed before the three Gatekeepers of the Citadel is something he's not been told, and the stares from the beautiful women make him more than a little uncomfortable. The information they give to him is more than shocking, and it takes a little time to convince him it's true. Time they are more than willing to spend on the man.

Embrace the Wind was a tantalizing taste into Charlotte Boyett-Compo's world of Reapers. This story is better read in the order of the series. I didn't and was still able to enjoy it, but was a little bothered by what I missed in between Owen's tale and this one. Embrace the Wind was a fun romp with a delicious sampling of what her Reapers are capable of.

Ghost Wind
Lanelle Durant, recently divorced and moving back home, runs into trouble when her car breaks down on the Interstate. This is fortunate for her, because when she calls her cousin to say she'll be a few more days, her ex-husband gets on the phone and starts threatening her.

After enduring a too long marriage to a man who beat her viciously, Lannie is more than ready to stay in this friendly town. Especially if it means it will take longer for her husband to find her.

Soon after she falls in love with a house near by, she learns the tragic history of the inhabitants and others in the area. She also sees what she thinks is a ghost. But ghosts can't be real can they? If not, why does she see him every time she goes to the house and in her dreams?

Ghost Wind took my breath away with its intensity. I love Charlotte Boyett-Compo's books, and this one was as good as the rest. I enjoyed the line Lannie said when she mentioned Reapers. The whole cast of characters, were so lovable that I want to see more of them. I want Brad to have a happy ending. I would love to see more of Alton and Rae and of course Lannie and Remy.

There is a very graphic violent part near the end of the story. It wouldn't be a Charlee book if it didn't have this scene, but I felt the need to warn those readers who are opposed to something so intense. I had to skim one page because it was a topic I don't stomach well, but that section of the story was a necessary evil.

The ending left me hungering for more. I hope this talented author will write more books set in Rock Creek so that I can spend more time with these characters. I love the way I can really hate a character, and then Ms. Boyett-Compo will turn my world upside down and I find myself doing a 180.
