A Touch of Sin by Elisabeth Jason
Kaylene has a delivery for the man who haunts her nightly visions that leaves her aroused and craving more. Known for his lusty carousing, she vows never to become another notch on his bedpost, should she peak his interest.
Yet, the moment he opens the door, Kaylene’s staunch resolve dissolves, practically salivating at his brawny build as his sinful Scottish brogue seduces her. A renowned Las Vegas magician, Cyric Amon has sensed this fiery woman’s passionate thoughts, even before reaching his doorstep. Her shy confidence teases his sensuous hunger, anticipates fulfilling her every wish. All she needs to do is ask.
Eros Lost by Dawn Montgomery
The Fates summon Psyche to persuade Eros to reign in his mother, Aphrodite. Her dating service is wreaking havoc on the humans, causing loveless matches or worse, keeping destined lovers apart. Aphrodite’s skill is bringing lovers together without ensuring one critical element has been unleashed - desire. Case in point, mortal Jeffrey Donovan’s attraction to Angela is clear but her nasty disposition makes him reluctant to pursue her. Only Eros, the God of Lust commands passion, but can he fix the mayhem his mother has caused, while salvaging the fate of two lovers.
A Haunted Love by J. M. Snyder
Eighteenth century America reenactments are fun but hard work, reason for Nick’s decision on taking a short nap after his shift. Over sleeping, he misses the last bus so searches for someone to drive him home. Nick runs into David, who takes his reenactment role seriously, given his authentic colonial speech and mannerism. Desperate, Nick coerces an invitation to stay the night in David’s room at the inn. However, the next morning Nick finds David gone, and nowhere to be found.
Three intriguing short stories pulse with romance making for a prefect Valentine’s Day read. Vibrant characters pull the reader into their enchanting world, barring any intrusion until the final page is turned. From Ms. Jason, A Touch of Sin is engrossing, sizzling with erotic pleasures, invoked only by a redheaded lass and her Scotsman. Psyche and Eros’s lusty interlude opens Ms. Montgomery’s, Eros Lost, then leads into an absorbing story about wayward lovers, and the Goddess who leads them astray. An eerie aura swirls around A Haunted Love, written by Ms. Snyder, brings together two young men for some unearthly clandestine unions.
Published through Aspen Mountain Press, Cupid’s Arrow is an entertaining, though exquisitely gratifying anthology. Ms. Jason has also published under Aspen Mountain, Soul Sacrifices, whereas Ms. Montgomery, under Aspen Mountain’s Plain Brown Wrapper serial, publishes a short story, Own Me. Ms. Snyder’s other Aspen Mountain publications include: Babes in Toyland and Creatures of the Night, Creatures of Delight, both anthologies.
A Dedicated Reader,
