*SPECIAL NOTE From the Publisher*
Dear Readers,
By purchasing this collection, you can help turn someone¹s nightmare into the pursuit of dreams. Every year, four million women are assaulted by their partners. At Freya¹s Bower, we want to do our part to bring this statistic down to zero. To this end, all net proceeds from every Dreams and Desires Anthology purchased will go to a battered woman's shelter. Through education and support, we can make a difference.
Sincerely,
Freya's Bower
This is not your normal review, nor is this your normal anthology. In Dreams and Desires, you have nineteen authors with nineteen perspectives on love. There are nineteen different tales to tug at your heartstrings, and nineteen different ways to say, “we love you,” and “we are here for you.” The true and culminating fact binding this book together is the single minded purpose, and the altruistic venture bringing the talent together. It is not every day a group of people can put aside profits, no matter what the sums they might receive. In this case, battered women are the recipients of the funds these authors would receive for this project. All profits from this fully donated work are to be donated to a charity. In this, the anthology is unique, and in this, the authors are special. From the first story to the last, these stories are filled with hope, love, and the promise of the future. From the insecurities of the city, to the quiet of the country, these women have lent us their amazing talent, and brought us delightful tales through which we are allowed to tickle our imaginations.
From the Sweet to the Sizzling, from the new relationship taking steps to become more enmeshed, to a friendship evolving into something more, there is truly something here for everyone. All the talent brings to you these stories that will give you a lift, and bring light to any grey day. They are stories to make you smile, make your sadness disappear, and will even in some cases give you hope. They are realistic, yet they are the stuff of dreams, they are ethereal, but sound. They are written by authors of talent, and although they are very short quick reads, they are complete, and express themselves in a depth that is surprising for their length. For the most part, they are very fast reads, stories that fly by, and surprise you when they end. You are ready for them to go on, yet you realize there is not much else to say. They are simple and sweet, they are sexy and hot, and above and beyond all, they are entertaining. You can go on and on, and before you know it, you have been swept away on the wings of romance.
There are a dozen simple and sweet romances in Dreams and Desires you will love, they will bring out the dreamer, and the romantic soul in all of us. They range in genre from contemporary to fantasy, from paranormal to historical, and each is a masterpiece of romance in its own way. As you travel through this anthology, you will get stories that will increase the heat level as well. From an art loving succubus, to a witch who wants to be free, these are the quandaries that abound in romance, and some included her of which life itself is made of, and upon which the authors so keenly draw. The person who travels down these roads will be touched and return feeling better for the escape. Some are written in first person, but they are all full of love, life and imagination. The talent displayed for this good cause is staggering, and the volume will be a treasured addition to every bookshelf it graces.
The romance glows, heating the blood, and bringing to the reader that snap we all wish for in a slightly erotic romance. With a light touch, authors bring you to the edge of wonder, and allow you glimpses of what lies beyond. They bring the excitement of true love, the search for the perfect mate, disappointment when love must be left behind, and the satisfaction in a job well done and love realized. Some of these authors are new, some are veterans in the business, but all are talented, working toward the goal of giving us great reads, lots of love, laughs, and memorable stories for a great cause. I have to say, I highly recommend Dreams and Desires for those of you who cherish your romances, and for those of you who are looking for a great read. Dreams and Desires is a fantastic volume, and will be available February 1, 2007.
Look into your heart, make the right choice, and get a copy of a book you will have to return to again and again, and while you are at it, feel good because you are doing something for a great cause. Here are the particulars:
