Review: Crow Magic by Mary Quast
Crow Magic
Author: Mary Quast
Release Date: April 24, 2013
Publisher: Decadent
1 Night Stand series
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Novella
Format(s): e-book
Book Source: Publisher
About the book:
|
Lucy Richards is tired of being timid around men. Hoping to overcome her fears and feel like a real woman, she turns to Madame Eve to find a man who will fulfill that goal. Eve arranges a one-night stand with a handsome Shawnee shaman who will teach Lucy to use her womanly power and take her to unimaginable heights.
Shape shifter Seth Crowe is a Keeper of the Spiritual Law who carries souls from darkness to light, and enjoys using his body to accomplish his magic.
Tucked away in the Castillo Poconos Resort, Seth helps Lucy find spiritual and sexual freedom, never dreaming he might find his own mate in the bargain.
What I’m talking about:
|
Our story opens with Seth (aka Tecumseh), who is a caretaker of sorts for lost souls. He is the Crow of legend, leading a solitary and lonely life. In order that his own soul does not fill with darkness, he needs to find his mate. Knowing this, him mom and brother ambush Seth and set him up on a date via Madame Eve’s 1 Night Stand (1NS) because his brother Kam had much success with the dating service.
After a history of abuse, Lucy feels awkward around men and is not comfortable with her own sexuality. She hopes that Madame Eve and 1NS can help her overcome her fears and maybe find something she feels is missing from her life.
Crow Magic is a story filled with spirituality and self-awareness. The author uses Native American culture and beliefs to spin her own tale of romance centered around inner peace and freedom. While I found much of the culture presented entertaining, at times I felt the spirituality of the story was heavy-handed and overshadowed the romance.
In the beginning of the book, Lucy finds herself alone with an attentive crow at the secluded resort. She begins a dialogue with the alert bird that was a bit goofy and silly. Personally, I'd be freaking out if a crow pulled out my hair band and stared at me. However, after a while, her odd behavior is attributed to a history of abuse and the scene makes more sense in that light.
The overall “courtship” between Seth and Lucy was based on her spiritual and sexual awakening. Seth uses his powers to free her mind and body, allowing her to become centered and at peace with her own self. Because of this, I felt that the story wasn’t very romantic in the traditional sense of the genre. However, Seth realizes almost immediately that his connection to Lucy is deeper than that of previous charges, so he pursues her more intimately.
Overall, Crow Magic is an enjoyable story with an interesting concept. It is filled, and at times overfilled, with spiritual awakening, using sex as part of the process. The connection between the primary couple isn't as steamy as in other 1NS stories, because the focus of the relationship is equally physical and spiritual. I liked that Lucy was able to shed her past and let out the awakened spirit inside of her. I think that those with an interest in Native American culture will enjoy this novella; however, if you are turned off by spirituality, you probably won't like the novella as much.

Review: Frost by Taryn Kincaid
Frost
Author: Taryn Kincaid
Release Date: Jan. 30, 2013
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Sleepy Hollow #3
1 Night Stand #160
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Novella
Format(s): e-book
Book Source: Publisher
About the book:
|
Dagney Night, a sought-after succubus, is no stranger to blazing hot sex. But as Valentine’s Day approaches, she longs for something more. When oddly erotic paintings arrive for display at her art gallery, arousing everyone who views them, she wonders about the mysterious artist who created the works.
Maxwell Raines, a fire-sex demon, lives a life of solitude and seclusion behind the walls of his compound at Sleepy Hollow, channeling his lustful impulses into his art—until his muse deserts him and his temperature rises past the danger point. He needs sex. Now.
When Madame Evangeline arranges a torrid Valentine’s 1Night Stand for them, will the flames of their encounter be too hot to handle?
What I’m talking about:
|
Dagney Night is a succubus, therefore she requires sex to survive. She’s frozen her heart and emotions to make it through each encounter. However, she’s tired of her passion-less trysts and wants more. After seeing her sister, Lily, find love with Campbell Jones (book 1, Lightning), Dagney turns to Madame Evangeline’s 1 Night Stand service in hopes that she can get a romantic rendez-vous for Valentine’s day.
After Dagney’s studio showcases the erotic paintings of Maxwell Raines, everyone, including Dagney, exhibits increased carnal need and aggressive sexual behavior. Dagney describes the work’s effects as “A strange, sensuous vibe emanated from every painting. The compelling passion infusing them leaped from the canvas and infected the viewer with lust.” It was then that Dagney realized her 1 Night Stand must be with Maxwell Raines.
Max Raines is a fire sex-demon that pours all of his need and energy into his paintings. He is worried that his passion and heat will burn any lover to a crisp, so he stays secluded. However, he takes a chance, hoping Dagney will be the exception who will satisfy his desires.
Frost is a lovely, sensual work, full of gorgeous descriptive detail with sultry undertones. I delighted in reading Dagney’s POV as she views Max’s work. The way she describes the paintings and their erotic impulse effects is a mixture of sensual and artistic which is sublime.
Both characters are immediately likable. They are sexy and getting sex, but missing the soulful connection. Their initial interaction (pre-sex) is fairly open and honest, which is an enjoyable change from the norm. And since they are both paranormal, they don't have to worry about hiding what they are/can do.
Ms. Kincaid takes the pair up and down and up again, making their eventual connection more exciting and sensual. The couple are quietly romantic and a perfect fit for one another.
Frost is another wonder novella from Taryn Kindcaid, and my favorite Sleepy Hollow story to date. The story is sexy, sensual and romantic, full of amazing descriptive narration. I look forward to see where she’ll take the characters of Sleepy Hollow next!

Review: A Marine and a Gentleman by Heather Long
A Marine and a Gentleman
Author: Heather Long
Release Date: Feb. 6, 2013
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Always A Marine Series, 1 Night Stand
Genre: Military Romance – m/m
Format(s): e-book
Book Source: Publisher
About the book:
|
Lieutenant Brenden Fitzpatrick is a dedicated Marine, loyal son, and devoted uncle but he’s lonely. When he went Marine, the rule was don’t ask, don’t tell. His brothers-in-arms pretty much didn’t ask and didn’t care. Watching so many friends settle into long-term relationships highlighted the absence of someone to come home to in his life. When his unit encourages him to give the 1Night Stand service a try, he asks for the impossible—a night with the one man he almost gave up the Marines for in the first place. A man he called best friend but let time and distance carry away.
Liam Gardiner grew up on the same Boston block as his best friend, Brenden. Unlike Brenden, Liam always accepted that he was gay—a fact he didn’t mind flaunting to all the bullies and naysayers in school. It got his ass kicked more than once but Brenden always had his back, rescuing him time and time again, until the day Brenden left for the Marines. He missed his buddy—the crush he never confessed, lest it cost him the precious friendship—so when Madame Eve’s invitation arrived to meet Brenden, Liam faces uncertainty for the first time.
What B is talking about:
|
Unlike most of the other 1 Night Stand stories I’ve had the pleasure to read, A Marine and A Gentleman is a “happy for now” tale of two childhood friends reconnecting with one another, each filled with a lot of hope, but neither offering a promise of forever. Set against the possible romance between a civilian and a Marine who’s dedicated himself to a lifetime of service, it is an open, sincere look at what might happen if only second chances could be given a little extra help to come around.
Having read quite a few Military m/m stories by now, I found this one particularly interesting. Brendan comes from a military family, and never questioned that he’d follow the same path, except once. Knowing that his best friend, Liam, wouldn’t be content to live his life in the closet, bound by the required code of silence imposed by “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Brendan let any thoughts of pursuing Liam go, remaining the steadfast friend until he left to join the military. Not that Brendan did so without regrets, but he always lived his life with the acceptance of a man eager to do whatever needed to be done in service to others, as heroes tend to do.
Since this is a 1 Night Stand story, things heat up very quickly between the pair once Liam lets go of his understandable skepticism. There’s no real awkwardness between the two old friends, their mutually realized desire not to waste another moment taking over and resulting in a sweet, yet thoroughly hot, sexual encounter. Brendan and Liam are absolutely perfect together, and their lingering familiarity with each other makes the affection they both know they’re lucky to have feel warm and alive.
Not to let the reader forget one of the major points of the story, the end of A Marine and A Gentleman brings the truth of Liam and Brendan’s situation back into focus. Ms. Long does a wonderful job of keeping the spell she’s woven around the couple vivid, without making more of their future than there really is, all while giving proper due to our heroes fighting abroad, as well as those waiting at home. There is a kind of bravery that’s equally as strong found in those who dare to reach for happiness despite the possibility of loss, a fact that this story illustrates simply and concisely. Liam and Brendan both felt very real to me, and their mutual desire to take what happiness they have now with a hope for the future made this one of my favorites in the series yet.

Carly Kimball, columnist for the popular magazine, Chit-Chat Weekly is going undercover to reveal the truth behind Madame Evangeline and 1Night Stand. She’ll infiltrate the Grand Turk Castillo hotel and resort to find the proof she needs for her article.
But Carly is in for the biggest shock of her life when she comes face to face with a man from her past, Quinn Alfasi, who she shared one passionate night with back in college.
Quinn never thought he’d see Carly again, and now six years later she’s come back into his life with the purpose to take down his employer. He’ll do whatever he has to in order to expose her as a liar and a fraud. But then his friend Woody shows an interest in Carly and has a plans to seduce her whether Quinn likes it or not. Quinn won’t allow Carly to fall for Woody even if he has to team up with his Lothario best friend to claim Carly as his own.
Carly is in danger of not only giving up on her mission, but also falling for the adorable Woody. But then there's Quinn, the one man she has always loved and has never forgotten...
What I’m talking about:
|
Carly Kimball is trying to get ahead at her tabloid newspaper, so she attempts to find some dirt on the 1 Night Stand match-making service. Believing it’s a front for an escort service run by the Castillo brothers, Carly attempts to infiltrate one of their hotels by pretending to be her twin sister, Cassidy. However, Carly isn’t fooling anyone, especially Woody and Quinn, two friends of the sisters from college.
Island Pleasures is a delightful romp in an exotic locale. I enjoyed the descriptive details of the luxurious hotel, island setting, and delicious men.
Carly was a mixed bag for me. She certainly isn’t cut out for the undercover work. She is only fooling herself, believing that Woody and Quinn are buying her story. She comes across a bit green... especially when she uses her own credit card to secure her stay at the resort! It bothered me at times that she came across so naive; I wanted her to be strong and successful, not down on herself.
Quinn is a confident man, but unsure when it comes to the woman who broke his heart. Determined not to let her fall prey to his best buddy, Quinn’s aggressiveness is bolstered, and he pushes Carly into revealing the truth. I liked Quinn a lot. I enjoyed how Quinn confronted Carly, taking and claiming her. Their mutual passion is steamy. However, their communication skills were lacking, which made for a (purposely) frustrating read at times.
Woody is lots of fun and he wants to share a good time with Carly, especially since Quinn doesn’t seem to be making any moves. However, I didn’t care for they way that Woody picked up Carly, knowing exactly how Quinn felt. I also was annoyed that Carly just went off with Woody without talking to Quinn first, seeing as they have a history. With that said, the results are pretty steamy. I was a bit unsure about the menage because it wasn’t something that Carly mentioned she was open to and/or desired before she was put into the situation of having to accept or walk away.
With that aside, I did enjoy how it the story ended. I liked who Carly ended up with, and without spoiling the the story, I will say that the emotional journey of Carly and her guy was well played. Neither person was willing to "give up" for the other, and each had to find his/her own way. The path/s they took made their relationship more believable and touching. Now... if only our poor guy left out can find a match!

Sleepy Hollow #1 & #2
1 Night Stand series
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Novella
Format(s): e-book

About the books:

LIGHTNING... In mystic Sleepy Hollow, succubus Lily Night put her prom date, Campbell Jones, into a coma after a night of wild, unbridled sex. She has steered clear of mortals ever since, afraid of damaging them or worse, not to mention the inconvenience of knocking out the power every time they have sex.
Successful architect Campbell Jones has lived with strange powers and a sexy secret since that prom night. He’s buried himself in work to forget the woman who’d dumped him at the ER then vanished from his life without a trace.
Neither Lily nor Campbell have forgotten that night or the love they’d shared. Will a 1Night Stand help them bury their past?
THUNDER... Lonely young witch, Veronica Hardwicke, has struggled to get on with her life after the death of the elderly husband who’d left her a fortune and a sprawling estate in mystical Sleepy Hollow. When frightening things go bump in the night on a stormy Fourth of July, who better to call than the sexy developer and contractor, Sean Jones, who's been renovating her mansion for months?
Sean may grace the tabloid pages with a different supermodel on his arm every night, but it's Veronica who drives him nuts. Ignoring his instinct to stay away, he answers her summons.
Will the thundering passion of their 1Night Stand tear down the barriers between them?
What I’m talking about:
|
Both Lightning and Thunder are novella-length books in Decadent Publishing’s 1 Night Stand series. For those unfamiliar, the 1NS series is a set of loosely-tied, yet completely stand alone stories, written by several different authors, all based on a dating service run by the mysterious Madame Eve. Although we never meet her, Madame Eve’s name appears in every story, and she has a exemplary track record for making perfect matches for anyone and everyone - no matter how simple or complex.
In Lightning, our heroine Lily Night is a celibate succubus, refusing to have sex with a mortal man for 10 years since she sent her first and only love to the emergency room and into a 6-week coma. Campbell Jones hasn't forgotten Lily or that night which changed his life forever. Now the pair are reunited thanks to Madame Eve, where they may find a second chance at love.
I adored that this couple had a prior history and both still deeply cared for (and lusted after) the other. This history allowed me to feel a deeper connection with the couple right from the start, and the “I love you” didn't seem out of place after coming so quickly. Lily and Camp had great chemistry, although I’m not sure why Camp was instructed by 1NS to blindfold Lily for so long. That piece didn’t add to the story and was a little odd. Their uncertainty giving over to lust created a wonderful atmosphere for their reunion. Overall, Lightning is an enjoyable romantic and lusty novella.
In Thunder, Ms. Kincaid’s second story from Sleepy Hollow, Camp's younger, playboy brother Sean fantasizes about the widow Veronica Hardwicke to the point that he is having performance issues with the models he normally dates. But since he is the construction foreman for the revisions of Veronica’s multi-million dollar mansion, he would never get involved with the boss, no matter how hot she is. Meanwhile, lonely Veronica dreams of Sean day and night. Having been celibate for the past 5 plus years, Veronica finally decides to give Madame Eve a try, signing up for the 1NS service after the referral from Camp. Of course, Madame Eve always knows the perfect match...
Once again, Ms. Kincaid is extremely adept at creating just the right amount of backstory, creating a pre-existing history between the individuals, which makes this shorter length story more satisfying. While allowing for an emotional connection, this story is also full of heat, sex and fun. Although Thunder was slightly more erotic than Lightning, I felt some of the dialogue between Sean and Veronica was a little cheesy, which was mildly distracting. However, the story was another fun romp and a pleasurable read.
Both stories are primarily contemporary with a slight paranormal edge. Each can be read independently, but since the Jones brothers are featured in both, it makes it a little more fun to read them together. Lightning and Thunder are both entertaining reads and fun quickies!

Even the good turn bad sometimes...
A life of servitude to God has left Ariel Raine feeling worn out. Being an Angel isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. Day in and day out of the same routine tends to get tedious. Wanting some spice in her life, she sets her mind on discovering the allure of a sexual encounter. With the help of Madam Eve and her 1 Night Stand dating services, Ariel is about to have her world rocked.
Only problem is…her match is a demon.
Edison Grey has relied on dating services to claim minions for not only him, but for his master Satan as well. 1 Night Stand just happens to be this week’s preference. No use wasting a good service, Edison decides to have a little fun while he’s at it.
Stripping an angel of her purity is an added bonus...
What happens between Ariel and Edison is a surprise to both. Even with the threat of punishment looming over top of them.
What VampBard’s talking about:

I adore the 1Night Stand shorts! The Naughty Angel, by Sheila Stewart, definitely delivers an action-packed (read: HAWT!) short story.
Innocent Ariel, an angel, wants to partake of Earthly pleasures. She's voyeuristically watched couples 'get it on' while performing her duties as a guardian of children. Once deciding to break her vow to remain chaste, Ariel contacts Madam Eve and submits her information to 1Night Stand dating service. Excited to have a match, she prints off the picture of her match, Edison, and looks for approval from her confidante, Seraphina. After receiving approval, she schedules her date at The Castle. Ariel is very innocent, believing that sex = making love. She's shocked at pornography, as well as vulgar language.
Edison, Ariel's 'date', turns out to be a demon. His original intent was to 'turn' his date after a night of hot sex. After taunting Ariel for a bit, he decides to romance her. He does the rose petals on the bed, and soft music. He makes the experience all about her.
Ultimately, the couple ends up agreeing to remain together, renouncing their duties to God and Satan. And they lived Happily Ever After. **eyeroll** The story was a bit trite, but it was a great read, around 40 pages according to the digital PDF, and kept me occupied and NOT annoyed while waiting to pick up a child from something-or-another. Great addition to the 1Night Stand titles!

Trauma surgeon Dr. Dallas Olson is too busy to date. Signing up with Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand service seems like a good plan, but his plans are sidelined when he’s nearly killed by a wolf attack. While still recovering and dealing with unexplainable side effects, he nevertheless agrees to meet the woman Madame Eve found for him.
Looking forward to her 1Night Stand date, werewolf shifter Cara Johnson is disappointed when it’s canceled unexpectedly. When Madame Eve lets her know that the man she should have met has suffered a wolf attack, Cara fears he’ll become a rogue werewolf himself during the next full moon. Unless she finds him and brings him home to her pack before that happens, her Alpha will have no choice but to kill him.
With only days left before the full moon, Cara and Dallas meet. He thinks it’s a one-night stand. She thinks it’s a mission to save his life. Madame Eve has other ideas.
What VampBard’s talking about:

Paging Doctor Wolf was my first venture into Decadent's 1Night Stand stories. I find myself wanting MORE! This hot little snippet was the perfect unwind story when I found myself with an hour or so of time available. Read in one sitting, this short was in-depth enough to feed my detail-driven psyche as well as satiate my steam-factor requirement.
Dallas, attacked by a pack of rogue wolf shifters in the emergency room in the hospital where he worked as a trauma surgeon, was heading down a precarious road until he was hooked-up with Cara, a shifter wolf ordered by her Alpha to make sure Dallas ended up a member of their pack. Ms. Royce's world-building was awesome. She delivered details regarding the rules of her shifter world, and also imparted the dire situation in a manner, given the length of the story, with deliberate method.
I'd like to go on record saying that this was 1Hot Story. When Dallas and Cara met, not far into the story, the reader was transported into the castle bedroom in a voyeuristic manner. It felt as though I were a fly on the wall. Throughout their encounter, Cara was planting small hints as to what Dallas was feeling. He was out of his element, and she was seemingly the one in control, although Dallas definitely had his moments.
As a reader of other paranormal romance stories, I really enjoyed the fact that the couple was mated during that initial meeting. It showed that sometimes fate does have a role to play in what appears to be a chance meeting, and that there seems to be a bigger plan for all of us.
My only complaints about Paging Doctor Wolf was that it was short. Ms. Royce definitely has enough of a plot potential for at least a novella length story. I was also a little uncomfortable (possibly not used to) the language used during the smokin' hot sex. I was able to get past it because this was 'supposed' to be a one night stand, which ended up turning into (potentially) a lifetime of happiness. I look forward to having the opportunity to catch more of these snippets in the future.

About the book:
|
Gwen Trembley is disturbed by the upcoming wedding of her reprehensible ex, and coping with her emerging fiery talent. Gwen seeks the services of 1NS for a night where new carnal knowledge will revive her damaged soul. Madame Eve has the perfect arrangements, but perhaps twice what she bargained for.
Twin brothers Tatsu and Yong Li, are in desperate need of a unique woman who can accept them as inseparable. They carry not one, but two secrets. These exotic brothers can’t be with just any woman, and if Gwen is willing to try, she will face the most passionate, lust-filled night of her life, but will she survive? Will they? 1NS finds a match they never expected possible.
What I’m talking about:
|
The story opens with our heroine, Gwen, reading the society pages of the paper, where she discovers that her ex is getting remarried on her birthday. Obviously the news is upsetting to Gwen, because she causes the newspaper to spontaneously combust. Best friend Cindy helps console Gwen over a bottle of amaretto, and we discover that although Gwen and Jamison spent 10 years together, things weren’t all that great, and Gwen doesn’t want Jamison back. But in order to move on, Gwen has enlisted the help of Madame Eve’s 1 Night Stand service, where she has request a m/f/m menage.
Twin brothers Tatsu and Yong have sought out the help of Madame Eve because their lives depend on it. No spoilers here, but let’s just say that the brothers, descendants of dragon shifters, are under a time constraint to find a date - sex - and Madame Eve assured them Gwen is their match. The trio agree to meet at Niagara Falls for their special rendez-vous at the same time (and same hotel) as Jameson’s wedding.
I have mixed feelings about this story. The first half to three-quarters was a good mix of story-telling, action and plot development. Jameson is an abusive bully, which we get to witness first hand. I really like how bold Gwen is after 10 years of abuse. She's not a meek woman. She is a fighter. She's a take charge woman. We also learn about the twin’s dragon heritage and why sex is critical to them at this juncture. It’s not an easy story to digest for any woman about to have sex with the pair, but when it comes to the twins, Gwen's not going to run. So I have to wonder why she agrees to meet the men at the same time and place as her ex’s wedding. Yes, it causes a lot of tension and allows for some compelling plot development, but to me, it just doesn’t seem the smart thing to do for a woman who is so confident.
As I said, I enjoyed quite a lot of the beginning and middle of the story. However, the switch from discussing the brothers’ dragon heritage to the getting busy, menage time is awkward. The whole transition and the sex scenes didn’t feel sexy to me. Since the twins are virgins, Gwen must teach them. The sex comes across almost clinical, and honestly, I lost interest in the trio. In addition, there is some mid-sex shifting which turned me off.
In the end, Double Dragon Seduction just didn’t keep my interest throughout the whole story. Although I enjoyed the start and set up of the book, and I felt the mythology was worth investigating, the ending fell flat and left me wishing things had gone differently.
