And while he's saving her from her enemies, he plans to prove that, even in human form, a bad-boy dragon can show a girl a good time that's truly off the scale...Spellbound - Cynthia Eden. No witch in her right mind would summon an immortal soul-hunter to her aid, but Serena Tyme needs Luis D'Amil's help to destroy the warlock who's stalking her coven.

Finally, Beth Danforth has found a man who can flip her switch. That's because super sexy Justin Watts, CEO of SpectraSign, is literally made of light.

 irresistable bad boys October 19, 2008
CAN'T GET ENOUGH by Shelly Laurenston
Ailean the Wicked has earned himself a myriad of nicknames over the course of his lifetime. His fighting skills and success with females have garnered him attention that he never desired. The most troubling of all is Princess Adienna's obsession with him. She's taken her rage over Ailean's disinterest in her out on the one female who does hold his affection - Shalin the Innocent. It's going to take every skill in Ailean's dragon arsenal to save his dragoness but he's going to discover that Shalin is neither `innocent' nor appreciative.
Ms. Laurenston had me laughing out loud through much of this story. These characters are absolutely a riot and I couldn't help but adore them. Shalin's a fireball with an attitude that equals Ailean's. He may have a reputation for being wicked but she's just as wicked - just far more `innocent' appearing which results in some hysterical scenes.
SPELLBOUND by Cynthia Eden
Serena Tyme will do anything to save her coven from the warlock who's marking the witches. That's why she's chosen to summon a soul-hunter. Luis D'Amil isn't happy about being yanked from his normal existence but he can't deny that having Serena indebted to him is extremely appealing. Will Luis be able to catch the warlock before he marks Serena a third time and binds her to him? During the course of their time together Serena and Luis share an unforgettable passion - what will happen when it's time for him to return to his `normal' life?
Ms. Eden delivers a tale full of passion, magic and a bit of suspense that keeps readers eagerly turning pages awaiting each new scene. Serena's sensuality and fear of the warlock play a pivotal role throughout this story. Luis may live forever but he's lonely and that becomes glaringly obvious as you read. At first `glance' Luis and Serena don't appear to be a likely couple but by the time I finished reading I couldn't help but think that they're perfect for each other.
TURN ME ON by Noelle Mack
Beth Danforth has finally found a job that she loves working with SpectraSign. The best part of the job is her employer Justin Watts. Beth can't help but find herself incredibly turned on by the dynamic man. What she doesn't realize is that Justin is literally made of light - that is until they share a heated sexual encounter and she wakes up to find him radiating light. How on earth will Justin explain about his unique abilities so that Beth doesn't bolt?
Ms. Mack's truly stunned me with this tale. I'd never considered light or any of the other elements as having a `life of their own' but TURN ME ON gave me a new perspective. Beth's willingness to accept Justin's oddity fascinated me and Justin's adoration of her really charmed me. I loved the unique way Justin gets himself into trouble and who he has to `call' for help.
The EVERLASTING BAD BOYS anthology continues Brava's fine tradition of presenting readers with the bad boys we can't resist. Shelly Laurenston, Cynthia Eden and Noelle Mack delve into the unusual and tempt us with stories that capture the imagination. Each story is full of passion, laughter, and enough wonder that I found it very easy to `slip' into each story and become a part of it rather than a bystander. EVERLASTING BAD BOYS is a wonderful addition to the BAD BOYS line and I'm very happy to add my copy to my keeper shelf.

Well worth the wait. September 19, 2008
This is an excellent book, well worth the money paid for it. I read anything by Shelly Laurenston and Cynthia Eden and can't wait for their next books. I had not read anything by Noelle Mack before but found this story very good. If you do not like sex and paranormal themes do not buy the book and complain about it later. I highly recommend anything by these two authors.
 3.5 stars overall - An odd mix of dragons and demons and sunshine(?) September 13, 2008

Paranormal Bad Boys yum, well two are dark, dangerous and yummy and one is light (literally) and perky.
Shelley Laurenston continues her flames and chains streak with another Dragon story "Can't Get Enough". This time it is Ailean the Wicked (AKA Ailean the Bold, Ailean the Killer) a powerful warrior dragon who lately has bcome better known for his conquests in the bedrooms of human females and has added Ailean the Whore to his list of monikers. When a naked flight from one of those bedrooms with an angry father and local guardsmen in hot pursuit leads Ailean to the studious Shalin the Innocent, he can't help but steal a kiss that seals both their fates. --- I really liked the first half of the story. Ailean's relationship with Shalin is steamy but Laurenston connects them out of the bedroom too so it is easy to see why Ailean is so smitten with Shalin. And I was really enjoying Shalin, who was a much different heroine from Laurenston's norm, until Shalin goes psycho on Ailean. This was so out of character for Shalin that I didn't quite get back to my previous level of enjoyment with the `new' Shalin who finished out the story. This is the third of Laurentson's dragon shorts out this month -- she's reissuing these previously epublished Dragon Kin stories (the leads' crazy dragon siblings are a fun part of these stories). Ailean's son and grandson have their stories in Dragon Actually (Dragon Kin, Book 1) published as Laurenston's alto ego G.I Aiken. The reissue of the very hard to find cheaply The Distressing Damsel: Book 2 of the Dragon Kin is coming later in the year as About A Dragon (Dragon Kin, Book 2).
Cynthia Eden's story "Spellbound" is a paranormal quickie. Witch Selena summons Luis - demon soul-hunter and death dealer to wayward paranormals- hoping that he can save her and her coven from being the next victims of a Warlock who plans on killing the witches to steal their powers. -- Both Selena and demon Luis were interesting characters and I would have liked to see them in a longer story so that they, and their relationship, could have been fleshed out a bit more. Instead we get a couple lustful hookups that voila' turns into a soul connection.
The last story "Turn Me On" by Noelle Mack was just strange, and oddly paced with huge jumps in time between the chapters. The hero Justin was light energy somehow embodied in a gorgeous wrapper and he was exceedingly perky. I didn't find the relationship between him and the heroine Beth very engaging, I thought it lost its focus once they consummated their relationship and he revealed his secret. I ended up skimming through the last half of the story.
So two pretty good stories but I thought that Laurenston and Eden's last shifter collaboration When He Was Bad was much better.
Three different short stories September 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This collection of short stories contains three very different tales, each with their own charm.
'Can't Get Enough' by Shelly Laurenston follows the playboy dragon Ailean who's always getting in trouble, usually at the hands of a woman. When he has to take responsibility for Shalin the Innocent, a quiet dragoness, he discovers that there's more to Shalin than the other dragons think. As he teaches her how to live with humans, and that horses and puppies aren't dragon food but are pets, he begins to discover what's important and what's worth fighting over. This story was the longest of the three, taking up about half the book, and although original in its ideas I found it slightly lacking in other ways, but it was a decent read.
'Spellbound' by Cynthia Eden had a storyline which was slightly familiar but still enjoyable. Serena is a witch and in order to protect her coven from a warlock who is attempting to bind them decides to summon a special kind of demon, a cazalone, who is extremely powerful and can hopefully defeat the warlock. Unfortunately the demon that she summons, Luis D'Amil, isn't too keen about being wrenched from another job - and he's less keen when he realises how attracted he is to Serena. The two have to work together to track down the Warlock - but Serena's opinions of assassins like the Soul-Hunter might begin to change. This was a good read with both hero and heroine being well written and with good pacing.
'Turn Me On' by Noelle Mack was the shortest of the three stories and, although enjoyable, I found the pacing a bit odd. Beth Danforth goes for a job interview at SpectraSign and finds the new CEO, Justin Watts, a very attractive man. However when their working relationship moves to something more personal she finds out Justin's not quite what she originally thought. Can a being of light and a human woman be together without some of his energy rubbing off on her? This story moved in odd leaps occasionally where a couple of weeks had suddenly passed, and it wasn't very easy to get to grips with how Beth thought. Justin was written in a rather childlike manner and I felt some disbelief that he could be a successful CEO. I also felt the ending didn't entirely wrap things up as I wasn't too sure about the resolution of some of Beth's issues. Still, this story was a reasonable read and an original plotline.
