Eye Candy

This is such a fun collection of stories by an amazing group of authors! These Halloween shorts and novellas will have you swooning, laughing, and a little scared all at the same time! In my opinion, the Eye Candy anthology is not really a collection of stand alone stories. I think each story is best enjoyed after reading the previous works of these authors so that you're familiar with the characters. You can certainly go in and read this "blind", but I believe it is so much more fulfilling if you already have a bit of an introduction to the characters.

Each author's contribution felt like an extended epilogue of sorts. A way to spend time with our favorite characters and see how they were and where they were headed. My favorite of the anthology was Helena Hunting's Getting Down, followed by Fallen Crest Nightmare by Tijan, and So Much More by J. Daniels.

I really enjoyed returning to the world of Fallen Crest and spending time with Mason, Sam, and Logan. Other favorites appear as well, but you can't beat the threesome fearsome. As much as I loved it though, this was definitely a darker and scarier read. Fans of the series will surely gobble this up!

J. Daniels brought plenty of sweetness and some delicious heat while giving us updates on our favorite BAMA boys. The last chapter though, truly stole the show and I can't wait for more! Seriously, that ending was too cute!!

Getting Down by Helena Hunting read the most like a regular book to me. Truth be told, I have not read Shacking Up, but I completely fell in love with the characters (Ruby and Bane are freaking amazing!) and didn't feel lost at all while reading this. I definitely plan on reading it now though and am excited to read Amie's story next in Hooking Up. This was an entertaining read and a great way to set the stage for the next book.

If you're a fan of these authors, you really don't want to miss this anthology!

*I voluntarily read an advance reader copy of this book*

A great mix of sweet and sexy novellas that are also a bit frightening in unconventional ways and allow readers to reconnect with the beloved and crazy characters from some of our favorite authors.

Fallen Crest Nightmare - Tijan

I hate to admit this, but this is my first time in Tijan's Fallen Crest world. I've seen a crazy amount of posts about Sam, Mason, and Kade, and their entire series is sitting on my kindle right now, but I just haven't found the time to get to them. Regardless of my lack of knowledge, though, Sam's drunken Halloween is quite the nightmare and it's easy to understand why she reacts the way she does when everything in her life turns upside down in the darkest of ways.

Fans of the series will be quite frightened by the events that take place in this short novella, so it's a good thing they only exists in their nightmares!

So Much More - J. Daniels

If there's one cast of characters that have stayed with me far after I've finished their books, it's the crew from J. Daniels' Alabama Summer series. There's just something about the way these heroes and heroines love and it's not just one couple...it's all of them...and with each filthy word, soft caress, and kinky position, readers embrace the wild, sexy, and sweet times with Ben & Mia, Luke & Tessa, Reed & Beth, and CJ & Riley, and we also can't get enough of the next generation of southern gentleman - Nolan and Chase are well on their way of becoming swoonworthy young men!

So Much More checks in on each couple and provides an update on how they're spending Halloween night in ways that only these couples can.

Getting Down by Helena Hunting takes readers back into her Shacking Up world and illustrates just how much Bancroft and Ruby still constantly crave one another and how Halloween costumes add a whole new level of foreplay for this sexified couple. This novella also sets up Ruby's best friend's story, Hooking Up, and I'm hoping that Amalie scrapes off her 'average' fiancé for someone more worthy of Anarchy Amie!

Bella Jewel's Unsafe Haven provides a night of ghouls and goblins for Jade to realize just how strong of a woman she is despite her past and gives her the perfect setting to let go of her fears and start a new chapter in her life.

The Pumpkin Was Stuffed by Tara Sivec had me laughing out loud from the first scene. As if Sam and Noel haven't had enough holiday mishaps but this time around not only is Noel pregnant and ready to pop but she also has to get through her best friend's Halloween wedding as well as her father's holiday decorating war with his neighbor, which definitely adds to Noel's fear of getting into the holiday spirit.

Tara Sivec's Halloween novella is the perfect story to close out this Halloween Anthology because in true Sivec fashion Noel, Sam, and her crazy family illustrates what true family dysfunction is in the most hilarious ways!
