Paranormal Pleasures by Roxanne Rhoads is a erotic collection of wicked supernatural tidbits that will have your blood boiling. In a world where nothing is taboo, this anthology has a little something for everyone and is definitely not for the faint of heart!

Since all of these nibbles are so small it seems impossible to actually rate and review them properly thus I will do it as a whole. They are all well written with some being a bit more stiff --no pun intended-- in terms of writing style then others. There is also a bit of a crassness about them that isn't off putting, but there seems to be little artistry to the sex scenes unlike most of the erotica that I've read. In some ways this is refreshing, but definitely made me span out my reading a bit, which was perfect considering the shortness of the stories. Also, I would have liked to see a bit more storytelling and character development. I know these are shorts, but some characters I would have loved to see more of, as well as some of the worlds. I definitely mourned a bit on the loss of a plot a few times where plots where mentioned that seemed intriguing but ended up taking a back seat to sex and then disappeared all together.

But, as these tales are so short, this definitely makes for the perfect quick read before playtime, erm, bedtime, with short tales of lust and desire. With creatures ranging from just about every kind of supernatural creature, no two stories are alike and each vary in their level of heat with some being beyond mind numbingly hot and other being simply scathing, exactly as advertised.

In the end, it was a good read that definitely kept ones interest piqued with ten scandalous and scintillating tales steeped in the supernatural. It's an easy read perfect for those nights when you want to give in to lust and wickedly enticing!

My Rating: 3 out of 5 Scars

Advisory: Strong, explicit sexual content.
Adult readers only.
