My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon ReviewThese are mostly very short short stories and the ones that worked for me out of this collection were the ones where the authors gave little vignettes from their long running series. Which meant that because I already was familiar with the characters they were nice fill-ins. I think that Jim Butcher, P.N. Elrod and Katie MacAllister did the best job of telling their tales in the short space allotted, Armstrong, and Saintcrow's were okay, Lui and Thompson's were near misses. Kittredge's prequel was ambitious for the space but her characters and world have promise.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*** Kelley Armstrong has her existing characters Clay and Elena on their honeymoon being stalked by a nonpack mutt, and if you know these two at all you know that they are going to relish having a hunt to break up the boredom of their idyllic vacation.
*** Jim Butcher manages to carve out a nice little tale from the rescue of a stolen bride employing a couple of his existing characters and using them and some Norse legends to flesh out Marcone's hired wizard Gard.
***Rachel Caine gives us part two of her pirate tale from My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding, here the formerly cursed pirate and his wench get more than they bargain for on their honeymoon cruise but are saved by an intriguing character, a beautiful but damned pirate at the end of the story.
*** P.N. Elrod's vampire detective tackles finding a missing bridegroom for a mafia princess-bride.
*** Caitlin Kittredge's contribution -- a `dectective' story set in a world where a dark magical world, "The Black" that lies at the fringe of ours --the only connection to the honeymoon theme was that the main characters stay in the honeymoon suite and fall into a mystery involving sacrifices and black magic.
*** Marjorie M. Liu gives a story that is supposed to be a prequel to her Dirk & Steele series. It is a very pre-pre-quel, the story of Lucy Steele awakening to the world of magic.
*** Katie MacAlister's tale is a nice little fill-in to her Dark One's series, and answers the question of what Raphael St. John really was -- because we all wondered.
*** Lilith Saintcrow steps away from the dark side on her honeymoon tale of a vampire hunter and a werewolf who both left the full disclosure until the honeymoon and make their discovery when they find they've landed in vampland for their honeymoon.
*** Ronda Thompson give us a decendent of her cursed historical Wulf's. Here we get a modern bridegroom who gets furry now that he's found his true love but hopes the honeymoon consumation will cure him. Unfortunately it's not that easy and his unsuspecting nature hating bride is about to get up close and personal with a wolf.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While many of these stories were screaming for more space, I would recommend that you don't cross any of these authors off your list based on their work here. All have popular multibook series and all of us fans can't be wrong in our slavishly keeping them on our 'must buy' lists, so check out their longer works. With this collection of authors there is something for everyone from humorous romance, to darker suspense all with a touch of the paranormal or magic, I've included the first books in their series to help you on your hunt.

Penthouse Variations (Letters to Penthouse) ReviewThis is my first "naughty" book experience, aside from my late teen Jackie Collins novels. As a married mother who on a naughty impulse decided to give it a try, I have to say I have no complaints and I am reccomending it to all my girlfriends who have a stalemate in the bedroom department. The language is raw, the sex is exciting and it doesnt beat around the bush with too many bells and whistles of a storyline. I reccomend it if you have it in you to be naughty, but spend too many nights not in the mood to try.Penthouse Variations (Letters to Penthouse) Overview28 Flavors, No Vanilla To find the limits of lovemaking, how far would you go-to Paris or the Caribbean, to miles above the earth, to your very own bedroom? Who would you invite-a threesome, a foursome, a whole houseful of eager erotic revelers? What props would you deploy-a wisp of knotted silk or a pair of high spiked heels, a stream of scented oil or a sheath of shiny black leather? From the pages of Penthouse Variations-for over two decades America's boldest explorer of the most adventurous frontiers of the sexual revolution-come twenty-eight sometimes shocking, always exciting stories by people who dare to be different. They range from risque role players to sexy bi-sirens, from casual encounters to the delights of domination. And they just might inspire you to walk on your own wild side.

Penthouse: Naughty by Nature: Female Readers' Sexy Letters to Penthouse ReviewYes, the stories in this book are letters written by women, but what they don't say is that the letters are all about women with women. If that's your thing, then this book is for you, otherwise, you may want to look elsewhere for your erotica.Penthouse: Naughty by Nature: Female Readers' Sexy Letters to Penthouse OverviewDo good girls do it? Do they ever! And month after month, women who love making love tell how they take every pleasure and shatter every taboo in their very own letters to Penthouse-America's premier forum for thrill-seekers of all sexes.

Tasting Her: Oral Sex Stories ReviewThere are people who "taste a woman" because they have to. There are people who "taste a woman" because they want to. I'm a definite "want to taste a woman" person and I loved reading about people who love this part of a woman as much as I do. This is pure erotica, and every story is about the worship of a woman's lips. I say worship because this is exactly what it is. This is much more than just a passing lick and kiss, it's more like a reverence. The stories are very descriptive and will make you salivate at all the different techniques people use.
There is nothing more powerful or ego driven than making a woman loses her mind with just the use of your tongue! These stories... mmmm....mmmm... good! Some of my favorites:
`Snatch'
`Teaching Teresa'
`Suspension' (my second favorite)
`Treatment for a Tongue Job'
`The Goth Chick'
`The Vitality of Youth' (my favorite)
`Cunnilingus 101'
`Read Her Lips'
`Hold On, I'm Coming'
`All About the Girls'
`The Dominance of the Tongue'Tasting Her: Oral Sex Stories OverviewThe primal sense of taking in the essence, taste, smell, and sexy up-closeness of a lover is a powerful aphrodisiac that affects one physically, mentally, and emotionally. Once this special connection is made, the heat of desire, passion, and lust focus before one's eyes and tie arousal directly to them. Tasting Her explores the ultimate joys of oral sex from a distinctly male point of view.

The Genius of Language: Fifteen Writers Reflect on Their Mother Tongue ReviewAll fifteen authors have one thing in common: they love words.All of them were drop-shipped, via their parent's fiat, to worlds where their mother tongue was no longer heard.These are the stories of how they lived, learned, spoke and eventual wrote English. Initially, their minds were full of ideas, but the words to express them were no longer understood outside of their family.The need to communicate burned inside of them and drove them to English, and maybe drove to the unencumbered freedom found in writing.
If you are looking for a work in the field of linguistics, keep looking, for this book is a `niche' book that gives one an unusual vista on the joys of words via quasi-autobiographies. This anthology is as unique as it is interesting to read. Strongly recommendedThe Genius of Language: Fifteen Writers Reflect on Their Mother Tongue OverviewFifteen outstanding writers answered editor Wendy Lesser's call for original essays on the subject of language–the one they grew up with, and the English in which they write.Despite American assumptions about polite Chinese discourse, Amy Tan believes that there was nothing discreet about the Chinese language with which she grew up. Leonard Michaels spoke only Yiddish until he was five, and still found its traces in his English language writing. Belgian-born Luc Sante loved his French Tintin and his Sartre, but only in English could he find "words of one syllable" that evoke American bars and bus stops. And although Louis Begley writes novels in English and addresses family members in Polish, he still speaks French with his wife–the language of their courtship. As intimate as one's dreams, as private as a secret identity, these essays examine and reveal the writers' pride, pain, and pleasure in learning a new tongue, revisiting an old one, and reconciling the joys and frustrations of each.
