Francine Wallace works for an ad agency and she�s up for a vice-presidency. She�s worked hard for it and will allow nothing to get in her way! She�s called into her supervisor�s office one Monday morning and who walks in after her but John Woods. The man that stole an account from her and broke her heart! What in the world is he doing in Chicago when he�s based in Seattle? Is he here for her promotion?
John Woods has been called to Chicago to work on a brand new account with Francine � the catch is they have 5 days to complete it! The account, Invigra, is a male enhancement drug that is rapidly taking the market by storm. However, they face a severe time constraint, with the 5-day deadline. How are they supposed to get any kind of market research done in that period of time?
Isabella Jordan has written a terrific book with great characters and a very interesting storyline!!! Francine is a heroine who doesn�t appear to take any garbage from anyone, and is still very hurt by John�s deception. John�s regret shows through almost from the start. He�s loved Francine for so long and now he will not let her get away. Ms. Jordan has written these characters in such a way that we see, and almost feel, their anger, hurt, regret, passion and love for one another. Treat yourself to a wonderfully written, quick, hot read but be prepared for a surprise ending!

Captain Jeff Holst of the Alliance High Command is on a mission to obtain some valuable iridium from a moon that the Telesian people are currently claiming is theirs. The Telesian�s are a matriarchal society, and the woman Jeff faces is a Siren. She proposes a challenge � the winner of which will keep the moon. The challenge is a sexual one, seven rounds of trying to make the other person orgasm first. The Siren, Chiara DaeJanay, seems pretty confident, and has probably been trained well, but Jeff thinks he has a few tricks of his own that will let him bring home the moon. When Jeff sends a message to his Commander about the challenge, he finds there is more at stake than the moon � the new political party in charge of the alliance is looking to test a new weapon, and they want Jeff to use in on the Siren and blast away half the galaxy. He has four days to win the challenge and save the galaxy.
The Siren�s Challenge is hot, hot, hot. It was truly inspired of Alice Gaines to focus the plot around a sex challenge. It gave her a great reason to include as much sex as humanly possible in a novella. Both characters stayed true to their cultures, and their genders, and Ms. Gaines wrote them the only ending that was possible. Throw in some evil administrators and you have a sub-plot about how we don�t want the Earth to end up in the future, making the reader think along with their sex. The orgasms were plentiful, and the dialogue was sexy as hell. I do wish she had made a little more use of the conflict that was evident, but perhaps that will be expanded on in later books of the series. I recommend The Siren�s Challenge to all lovers of futuristics, and look forward to the next book in the series.

Samantha and Michael�s marriage is falling apart. Having been happily married, Samantha is devastated to find that her husband Michael is so busy with his new job that he no longer finds time to be intimate with her. Almost ready to give up, Samantha�s new friend Wicca suggests taking him to spend a night in a castle in France. According to the legend, a single night there will solve their problems.
�The Enchanted Castle� has a lovely fairytale premise, yet the story is also very real. Samantha is particularly believable as she struggles to cope with her husband�s loss of interest; the circumstances surrounding their marriage breakdown are equally realistic. Simply put, Samantha wants sex, and spends much of the story trying to convince Michael to deliver. She still loves him despite his high-handed attitude towards her.
There is a lot of sex in this book, and a lot of variety, both in location and type. The sex is very hot, but this reviewer found the large amount of dialogue during the sex to be somewhat off-putting. The characters seemed to spend a lot of time talking about what they were doing. This reviewer also found Michael�s sudden change of attitude after the night in the castle rather abrupt. Despite that, it is a sexy and enjoyable book that manages to bring a little fairytale magic into the real world.
Reviewer's advisory: This book contains a forced seduction / anal scene that may offend some readers.
