I am not a big fan of novella. I have read many of them and end up with disappointment. Not only because they left me with unfinished things but also because some of them just did not let me get a bond with its characters. I felt they were in such a hurry. So when I received and started read this ebook, I did not put many expectation.
One remarkable thing from this anthology was each story connected with one red line, an antique shop. Each character met Mrs. Higgins and from one thing in her shop, they were brought to something peculiar. I found this unique.
I could not found appropriate words to revealed how the stories surprised me. My ignorance held the responsibility for this. Because the authors have warned me in advance about the genre. Still, It left me open-mouthed. I never expect for those kind of scenes. It is just too hot for me. But at least after reading this ebook, I finally understand what they called as paranormal-erotica.
From all of the stories, CRADLE OF DREAMS is my favorite. The ending was better.
For anyone of you who love romance, erotica, paranormal stories, you should read this book.

The reasons why I joined the tour and read this Anthology was the cover. It's lovely.

Synopsis
CRADLE OF DREAMS
Keta Diablo
With visions of battle still fresh in his mind, Roane Bradfield returns home to find the woman he loves betrothed to another. He corners Kendrick Moreland at Dowager Huggins’ Grand Ball and whisks her into the secluded library. One way or the other, he will know the reason the duplicitous beauty cut him from her life when she promised to wait forever.
Kendrick can’t believe her eyes when Roane suddenly appears at the ball. Has he truly risen from the dead? Amid wagging tongues and hushed murmurs, the fantasy of her every dream whisks her from the ballroom. And the expression on his face is anything but loving. Revenge, danger and powerful love collide in the Cradle of Dreams.
A LOVE SOUL DEEP
Amber Scott
If only Sara had known no man would ever make her feel like Crew did, she would have let him love her. A regret that can never be undone. His death haunts her dreams, and her wishful thinking only reminds her of everything she has lost.
Years later, a visit to an antique store in sultry Savannah changes everything and makes her deepest wish come true. Her beloved returns to her. Her every fantasy gets the chance to be fulfilled. But she wants more than one night. She wants a lifetime and wonders what magic will let her keep A Love Soul Deep.

Elise Hepner
Flynn has been cursed for over a century for a social slight he never committed. A voodoo priestess hexed him and forced him into a teapot where he could be summoned by the rub of a woman’s palm. Once free, he grants these women three sexual favors—and cuts off his own emotions in the process. Unable to break free from an invisible cage of lust and sex to fall in love again he’s resigned to being a sex object and nothing more.
Helena has been house sitting far, far away from her complicated past in England— including her former childhood sweetheart, who wasn’t satisfied when Helena didn’t want to be barefoot and pregnant. She’s resigned to leave behind the complications of men and sex. She hopes logic will win out over her unreliable emotions—but she’s put to the test when she accidentally summons Flynn from his teapot prison.
