Of course I'd forget to post my review...

Read Queen Takes Twins and floved it!
Shara is amazing. The Their Vampire Queen series was incredible and it was wonderful to read about Shara and the twins.

This review is specific to Queen Takes Twins by Joely Sue Burkhart from this anthology, but I'm sure the other stories will "measure up."

I love Shara Isador and her Blood, and this story is another piece of the puzzle that allows us to get to know two of her newest Blood. And, TWINS!

Hot as hell, beautiful darkness. If you love Joely like the rest of us, you won't be disappointed in this work.

I liked "Between the Sheets" more. This book had some stories I couldn't read due to spoilers, which was irritating.

That said, I quite enjoyed the "Literary Yours" bonus scene, and will be looking for that series. I also liked "A Work in Progress", LOVED "Dragon Ever After" (I ARC reviewed that series and loved every one of them!), "Polar Dream", "Madame X", and "Queen Takes Twins" (LOVE that series!).

I thought "Goddess of the Ball" was okay. Same with "The Demon's Last Kiss" (I'm intrigued by the world), "Desire in Their Eyes" (again, intrigued), "Something Wicked", and "Halloween Madness".

In regards to "Beautiful Monsters", I've read the Phoenixcry series and am very interested in hearing more about what all of that was. Not sure exactly what I thought of it, but intrigued, and disturbed, too?

Out of the 29 stories in the anthology, I liked 12 or so. A few I wasn't super interested in reading, and there were some marked as having spoilers. I give this anthology 3 stars.

Very sexy and to the point short reads.

I like that most reads can be read without reading previous books in the series and not give away many spoilers. Some even make me interested in read the series to find out what happens before.

Polar Bear dreams is sweet, sexy and has the Halloween spirit through and through

Short on plots, this is a series of reverse harem sex scenes from mostly established books and series, a little steamy extra for fans, not that you really have to know the stories to enjoy these scenes. There are a few little starter pieces to go with, some introductions to stories yet to come, but mostly it's a night in the life of a woman and her men.

You get exactly what this promises, hot, three- and four-way action between one woman and multiple men. Expect to be turned on and maybe have your boundaries pushed a bit.

Enjoy.

Halloween Between the Sheets is an anthology of reverse harem romance short stories. These short stories are from a variety of some of my favorite authors and some promising new ones that have piqued my interest.
Each of these stories are a few pages long, but are quick to turn up the heat and get steamy real fast. Some of these authors give us glimpses of their paranormal worlds and characters, while others give us a welcoming balance of regular humans who have struck the perfect balance of all of them being together happily. Of course, as the title of this anthology says all of these stories take place on Halloween. From a witch who is told she must find – a ghost, a vampire and a cat shifter to avoid a terrible curse, to a single mom who is able to enjoy her Halloween night with her three lovers, these stories are sure to leave you feeling more than a little hot and bothered.
If you love reverse harem novels, enjoy lots of steam then this anthology is absolutely perfect for you and it’s a great addition to have for Halloween or just a night you want something more exciting to read. Be prepared though, these stories move quickly, but they all have a more than satisfying ending.
I am rating this book 5 out of 5 stars. These stories are short, steamy, perfectly Halloween and absolutely enjoyable from start to finish. So check out some of your favorite authors in this anthology and discover some new budding authors as well.

This anthology is a fabulous streamy collection of 20 stories. Each story will leave you wanting more (in more ways than one 😉), so its lucky that there’s plenty more to come from these characters and authors.

Laura Greenwood: Spells and Curses
According to a fortune, Cecilia needs to find a ghost, a vampire and a cat shifter before midnight, otherwise something bad will happen.
Well lucky for her all 3 are at the club she’s at, and are all willing to comply with her needs.
Spells and Curses has a fast paced storyline with things heating up straight away. This is a standalone from the Paranormal Council Universe.

Skye MacKinnon: Polar Dream
Just because Isla has a walrus for a belly doesn’t mean that she doesn’t get a little sexy time in Polar Dreams. After a steamy dream, her four bear shifter will certainly help her, that is until....
This short and instantly steamy story will leave you wanting more of The Drowning Series.

Julia Clarke: Under Her Spell
It’s the wedding of Kati and her men - Declan, Adrian and Elias. The POV is from Adrian in this perfect steamy tease of the events of the wedding night.
I’d recommend reading Time of Enchantment first and then Under Her Spell.

KT Strange: Beautiful Monsters
Max is hiding secrets and this dark but slightly twisted short story delves into just what they are.
Beautiful Monsters is a POV from Max and a little side step from Phoenixrise series.

Marie Robinson: All Souls Night
Maeve and her harem need to renew the balance between life and death.
All Souls Night is a sexy short story from the Magical Kingdoms series.

L.A. Boruff: Literary Yours Bonus Scene
After a Halloween party things really heat up for Ellie and her men - Arch, Grey and Wes. Each of the men have their own skill set and preferences, which Ellie loves.

Joely Sue Burkhart: Queen Takes Twins
This is Shara, Itztli and Tlacel story, when the brothers share their queen for a night of pleasure.

Marissa Farrar: Wolf-fully Theirs
Ava and her friends join a Halloween party in the forest which turns out to be with the Helsing men.

Quinn Arthurs: A Work in Progress -A Halloween Treat
It’s Halloween night and Emily is on her after the kids are at their friends places. But with some rather unexpected visitors arriving, she’s in for a magical night with Max, Alex and Troy.
A great teaser of what’s to come in this contemporary RH story.

I received an advanced/review copy of this book. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content and honesty of my review.

This was a fun anthology filled with quick reads that have plenty of heat. Several of my favorite reverse harem authors were a part of this anthology, so I was pretty psyched to read each of their contributions.

I genuinely enjoyed each story that I read, though I did skip a couple simply for spoiler reasons; I haven't read the series that its a part of, so I didn't want to spoil the series for myself before I had a chance to read it ;)

I specifically wanted to write a review on Julia Clarke's part in the anthology, Under Her Spell. If you've followed my reviews at all, whether here or on GoodReads, then you know that I am a huge fan of Julia Clarke. I loved reading this POV from Adrian, one of the characters from Charms of Attraction; one of Katerina's men. I always joke that when I read a really good RH, I can never decide which guy is my favorite--which is what makes it such a good thing that I don't have to choose :) But I have to say ... reading this story from Adrian's POV sure racketed him right up there for me. The way he views Katerina is one of the sweetest things I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Part of what I loved so much about this story is somehow, Ms. Clarke managed to show the love that's shared in this little family, particularly the love Adrian has for Katerina. It's simultaneously sweet and sexy, and it makes a lovely addition to their story.

Other than just this story, there are plenty of sweet and sexy stories to choose from in this anthology. If you're in the mood for lots of variety and fast-paced stories that get straight to the point, then you'll love this collection! :)
