Dani Rene

This book is full of short stories by fantastic authors some I knew before and some are new to me and I have fallen in love with. There are a lot of short stories and some I have not got to yet, but I definitely plan to, so here are my reviews on the stories I have read so far:
Her Mafioso’s Honor by Patricia Eddy:
In this story we are instantly introduced to Evelyn who has been captured by some mafia guys. She is treated horribly but she is strong and can hold her own. Damian is the nephew to the current mafia boss who thinks it is horrible the way his uncle has ran the family into the ground so he is out to right the wrongs and he starts by saving Evelyn from an even worse fate. At first Evelyn is very skeptical a guy like Damian wants to help her and cares for her well being but their attraction is undeniable. The story is a short one, but I loved it so much and enjoyed the characters. A fast paced intense read with an incredible alpha and tough as nails heroine.

Real by Magan Vernon:
In this cute read we get to see the banter between two individuals who entertained me and made me laugh. Wren is starting a paper for her English class and starts to email her professor so she can get a few things approved but the TA answers to response. This TA comes off as abrupt, kind of mean, but she does not know it is not her professor but instead his TA, Wolf the school bad boy. Wolf is smart and knows what he likes, and he knows his stuff when it comes to the class he works for. Their back and forth arguing is so good that you know they love to get a rise out of each other but know it may be kind of forbidden. I loved Wolf and the way he was straight forward with Wren. I also how Wren could give back as good as he could and that they were so attracted to each other just by arguing.

The Cabin Between Us by Dani Rene:
This story was cute, and it followed Calandra who left her hometown to try and make it in Hollywood, but we find out when she left town she left behind her heart. She is returning because her mother has decided to sell their cabin but she has so many memories there it’s hard for her to see it go, but when she gets home Kolton her heart and soul at one point is there. Kolton let the love of his life go but now he has a plan to make up for lost time.

I loved this anthology because it gave me a chance to discover new authors. I read every "chapter" in the anthology, and while they were all good, I preferred the ones written by Dani Rene and Jennifer Bene best.

All the stories are dark and include some kind of sexual scene, but I wouldn’t call it romantic at all.

They all take place in a private sanitorium known as "Serenity", where the doctors and patients have a much “closer” relationship than normal. Many of the doctors, who are very good in their fields are free to practice more unusual techniques. One doctor prescribes sexual pleasure to treat “hysteria” in one patient, while another feels that helping a sexually deviant who uses any kind of sex, especially risky behavior as a coping mechanism by screwing her on the roof. It isn’t as sordid and “porn storyline” as it sounds.

Regardless, there are six stories written by different authors. They all center around a female patient and her doctor. Because I went into this story completely blind, I am not going to review each story, but I will say that I didn’t skip through any and didn’t feel that any should be skipped. However, this is a Dark anthology, not a Dark Romance anthology, so be aware of that distinction.

With that, I must admit to really enjoying this anthology, and am looking forward to the new books I will read because of it.… (mehr)

Full Review on my blog!

Wow, Wow! I loved reading this book! This was a short, fast paced, steamy erotic romance!

I really wish it was longer, I feel like this book has so much potential to be more than a 62 paged novella...

This is the first book I’ve read of author Dani René and it wont be the last! Can’t wait to read more by her! I recommend it!
