Before topping multiple bestseller lists—including those of the New York Times, USA Today, and the Wall Street Journal—award winning author Elisabeth Naughton taught middle school science. A voracious reader, she soon discovered she had a knack for creating stories with a chemistry of their own. The spark turned into a flame, and Elisabeth now writes full-time.
Though primarily known for her romantic suspense work, Elisabeth has penned over thirty books and continues to write in multiple genres, including paranormal romance and contemporary romance. Her books have been translated into numerous languages and have earned several award nominations, including three prestigious RITA® nominations from Romance Writers of America. In 2017, REPRESSED, the first book in her Deadly Secrets series, won the RITA® for best romantic suspense.
Elisabeth's work has been praised by the Chicago Tribune as being filled with "deadly intrigue, high adrenaline action, and scorchingly hot passion.” Kirkus calls her "a writer talented enough at weaving a yarn to get her readers ensnared in it.” When not dreaming up new stories, Elisabeth can be found spending time with her husband and three children in their western Oregon home, wrangling two cats, or chasing after one very rambunctious Dalmatian.

Stolen Fury by Elisabeth Naughton Heroine was dislikable. Overlong. Skimmed. 2 stars
Bound By Blood by Cynthia Eden Already read so I've skipped it here. 3 stars
No One to Trust by Katie Reus Heroine is an idiot. I hate it when women are portraited like helpless females who turn in a puddle of goo just beacuse a guy is hot no matter of circumstances. Hero also had those thoughts of her hotness bla bla bla poppin in every 4 sentences. Give me a break. 1 star
Raphael by Alexandra Ivy Maybe because it was first story so the premise hasn't settled in or because author needed to draw readers, there were too much of shmexy times not enough of everything else times. 2.5 stars Parish by Laura Wright I like a story that doesn't pretend to be something its not. No flowing lyricsms and description. Even though it was extra insta love, it was short and sweet novella-like. 3 stars
Intimate Enemies by Joan Swan Looong and confusing. Skimmed towards the end. It had potential but the writing is such that it doesn't create enough excitement for me. 2 stars
When I bought this, I had already read the first 2 stories but since I liked them so much I thought I would give the rest a shot and I wasn't disappointed. In fact I thought that they were so good that I felt they each deserved it own rating and review on their individual book postings. After all, I had already rated Stolen Fury (http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...) and Bound By Blood (as part of it's box set - http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15...) so it seem only fair to do it for the rest.
This was a great bundle with a few authors I've been wanting to try. I already own Raphael/Parish and loved it. But for $0.99 I figured I couldn't go wrong. I was right! I wish I could do half star ratings. This is definitely 4.5 stars. I highly recommend this bundle if you're thinking you'd like to check out any of the authors. All the stories are first books in a series by each author. I know I'll be purchasing the next book for the ones I've read so far. Stolen Fury is my favorite and I can't wait to pick up Stolen Heat and other books by Elisabeth Naughton.
This book was: very disappointing. I had expected more from this book-bundle than what I got. The only "book" in this bundle that I enjoyed reading, was Cynthia Eden's book called "Bound by Blood". If not for that book, I would have rated this bundle much lower.
Would I recommend this book? Yes/no? Why/why not? No, I would not recommend this book-bundle. However, I would recommend reading Bound by Blood.
I am very glad that I bought this collection. For the first time, I actually read EVERY story. Usually I buy an anthology and only read one or two stories. But this time, I actually read and enjoyed every single story.
What was my favorite? I'm not sure I had a favorite. I really enjoyed all of them for different reasons.
I'd definitely recommend this collection. I wrote reviews for all the individual authors/stories- that's how much I enjoyed.

I DNFed half of the stories, and I didn't like the fourth. I appreciated Alexandra Ivy's Raphael, but it was a short novella and as such it was difficult to accept the Hea.
The sixth was a novella I had already read (and loved), Ms Eden's. So from my point of view this collection was a waste of time and space. At 0.99 it wasn't a waste of money. But honestly this doesn't really improve my mood.
This book contains six novels and novellas. They are romances in the suspense and paranormal areas and have a lot of adult content. I reviewed each story seperately and rated most of them three and a half to four stars. The exception was the final story, Intimate Enemies which I rated at one and a half, largely because the heroine seemed Too Stupid to Live.
I thought the whole thing was great.I've commented on the first 3 books, and really enjoyed Raphael and Parish even written by different authors, they were part of the same story.
Intimate Stangers was a great read I really enjoyed the who undercover thing. And Cassie, she's just a pit bull that never gives up. My kind of role model.
Fab set for the price. Lots of different styles of writing styles and characters. Great stories, although I have read the bayou heat books before. With exception of these two books, the books come to an end, with none of them leaving you hang on on for a follow up! Some sex, violence and danger, but very much in keeping for the stories.
These were all great full-length books that I enjoyed immensely! I read authors that I've heard of and now want to read more from, authors I've never heard of and want to read more of and authors I love and love more!
Jessa's pithy reviews: Great collection by a bunch of my fave authors. How convenient! With strong voices and sexy heroes, this is a fabulous collection to recommend to reader friends who haven't yet discovered the many-flavored joys of romance.
I read some of the stories to the end, others I couldn't get past the first two chapters....As a whole I wasn't too impressed however, there were one or two, ok maybe one, that I enjoyed more than the others and would have received a 3star rating...It is what it is.
I just loved this book, I can't wait till the authors do it again, made me get the series that they belong to. job well done, a must read for everyone!
Only read these two stories which I really liked them: Raphael by Alexandra Ivy - read this one before then the second title I have listed Parish by Laura Wright Bound By Blood by Cynthia Eden
