Blurb: Clans of Kalquor 5. Dani Watson is a sex slave on the planet of Dantovon. Having escaped post-Armageddon Earth, she’s resigned to spending several years working in a brothel to pay off her slave contract. Her one consolation is that she avoided being captured and enslaved by the Kalquorians.

Review: I love Tracy St. Johns 'Kalquor Series'. The Kalquorians are prime examples of uber-manliness, yet caring and protective of their women. If they were real, I'd like a clan of my own!
Alien Slave starts with Danielle or Dani as she's mostly called in the book, an Earther woman who rather than be taken by the Kalquorians, has sold herself into sexual slavery to escape a nuclear devastated Earth. She has a stipulation in her contract about not wanting to serve Kalquorian men, as they are the enemy and all. However, she soon finds herself being employed by a Kalquorian clan, and as they've paid a large sum, she figures that one night couldn't hurt, and maybe she'd get her contract paid off a bit sooner than planned. She soon learns that one night with the Kalquorian clann will never be enough. It's a hot sexy romp with a plot. It's sizzling hot erotica at it's best, the way erotica was meant to be. If you haven't read any of the Kalquor Series, I highly recommend you get the series, you won't regret it!

Blurb: If Shadowmere had a ruler, Balian would be king. He is the most powerful of their number, feared above all others. And the time has come to find his mate.

In the land of Wyverns, men compete for the hand of the princess and the riches of her father's kingdom. One among them stands out, for he is the most skilled ... the most dangerous, and Princess Kisah knows this barbarian warrior will be her downfall should he win the games.

Review:I like a good fantasy fiction read, and was looking forward to one that portended to be a bit spicy. The setting was nice and believable, the majority of the dialog flowed well, and even the old cliché of the haughty princess and the darkly mysterious, adamant suitor played well. The spicy bits were a bit disappointing. The thing about fantasy fiction (and erotica set in that vein) is that it should give the author license to play with words and actions relating to sex. That is to say—don’t tell me the usual names for anatomical stuff. You’re supposed to be pulling me into a completely different world, so there MUST be a different way to describe sex—the feeling of it as well as the act itself. There, it fell down. All the pageantry was a great setup for what should have been steamy “we’re-not-from-here” relations. In the end, those parts ended up being more pedantic than titillating.

Overall, I liked the book; until the end. The problem I had with the end is that it just ended. It was rushed. I got no further feel of the characters, even though there is a momentous event at the conclusion. I could not figure out if the author was setting up a sequel, was bored by the writing at that point, or did not have a real grip on how the characters would react to the situation. Rather than a “AND THEN?” feeling at the end, I was left with, “Um…that’s it?”

I noticed the 2003 copyright date, and wonder if there is a Book 2. It’s not that I’m dying to read it, but, I have to admit, I’d go for the first two chapters or so just to try to get an idea of what the author intended those final reactions to be.

Blurb: Escort Brandilynn Payson is shocked to discover she’s dead. Even worse, she’s the latest victim of the Fulton Falls Ripper, a vampire serial killer. Being deceased is no obstacle for fun however, and Brandilynn quickly proves she’s the life of the after-death party. But her killer is still on her trail, and she learns there are worse things than death to worry about.

Review: This is one of the most original books that I have read in a long times! Vampires that become ghosts during the day, without the sinister-ness of their vamp bodies. Weres that even in their Human form, still slightly resemble the animals they shift into. Ghosts who spend a lot of time making love to ease the boredom that eternity brings. All I can say is more!

Escort Brandilynn is murdered by the Fulton Falls Ripper. Her body is discovered with the help of a psychic, and Dan, whose a ghost. Dan helps Brandilynn adjust to being dead. Dan and Brandilynn help vampire Tristan find her killer, another vampire. Though the discovery comes a bit late, and Tristan and his sister are almost killed, as their bodies resting place is discovered. Brandilynn is almost turned into a wraith. If that doesn't seal the deal for you, the sex is hot, kinky and, in Brandilynn's case, mind blowing!

Blurb: All men were toads as far as Miranda was concerned, and she had no intention of marrying only to please her father. She meant to rule her kingdom herself.

Review: This book is about a princess that has to marry before her birthday or she will give up her right to rule the kingdom.

Miranda (the princess) meets a handsome prince who is dreamy and mysterious, but Miranda is falling head over heels way to fast for Lord Waterman (the handsome man) but she is not sure who he is or where he comes from since he will not reveal anything other then details about why he is there seeking her help. When Miranda agrees to have lunch with him they end up in bed together. Where after they make love he basically rushes out the door.

Miranda is trying to figure out if this is love she isn't even sure who he is and why he cant tell her who he is.At the end of the story we find out about the curse that Lord Waterman paid a witch to put on him so that he could spy on Miranda's fathers kingdom.Only a selfless act will break the curse. So he sacrifices himself so that he could warn Miranda's kingdom of the up and coming attack.

I liked this book even though it had some parts that I didn't understand. There were some really good sex scenes between Miranda and Tristen and it had a great plot. I would read more by this author and I would recommend this book to my friends.
