Lisa Faulkner Books

This excellent book creates the world of Williams and Faulkner with power and passion, leaving no stone unturned. Within its pages, I discovered adventure, life poetry, compassion, complexity, and a splendid analysis of two lives, forever merged. If you love literature and, learning more about the challenges of the human heart, this is a book you must read. Its engaging style is also about the struggle of choice, inconvenience, and the collision of unknown forces. It's about life and how we try to navigate within the inevitable difficult moments to elevate our souls to another dimension. Enjoy!

A great collection of really engaging stories - I had a hard time putting the book down. Some great scenes and characters in all three - I would certainly recommend it! Hot Hot Hot!

This book contains the following three stories.

4.5 stars for ROMEO by Gail Faulkner.
Wild and exciting read. It was fun seeing someone so obsessed and in love in a good way with a woman he just met. He treated her so well! Some interesting lines as well. I'm looking forward to trying something else from this author. I keep thinking about this Romeo. Wow!

CAUTION SPOILER: I loved the way Romeo confessed things to her right away on the same day he did them, because he wanted to be totally honest for her.

Sexual language: erotic. Number of sex scenes: five. Setting: current day Texas ranch. Copyright: 2005. Genre: erotica and contemporary romance.


3 stars for HURT SO GOOD by Lisa Renee Jones.
Good erotic scenes, but plot was just ok. I didn't like the way Kelly avoided the relationship.

CAUTION SPOILER: She ran away from him for what I felt was an artificial reason. She felt any relationship would conflict with her schooling and career goals so she avoided having a relationship with Mark. This was not interesting for me.

Sexual language: erotic. Number of sex scenes: five. Setting: current day Manhattan, NY. Copyright: 2005. Genre: erotica and contemporary romance.


2 stars for SIZZLE by Sahara Kelly.
Readable but not recommended. The erotic parts were interesting but the plot and characters were not. I didn't like that she had sex with him and then left him because she "found a guy (him) who made her feel." She missed him but wouldn't initiate going back to him. That was not believable for me.

Sexual language: erotic. Number of sex scenes: about six. Setting: current day U.S. Copyright: 2003. Genre: erotica and contemporary romance.

To date, I've read one other story by Sahara Kelly. I gave 4 stars to "Beating Level Nine" Copyright 2004, which appears in the anthology "Lady Jaided's Virile Vampires." My 4 star review for the anthology was posted on 9/11/08.

I am not going to go into detail, I see this has been done quite nicely. I am not a big fan of multiple story books and this one did not exceed my expectations. I believe Romeo might not have been too bad if it were full length and more in depth. I thought all the characters, in all the books, lacked passion (but they were lusty). I do not recommend this book, its not a keeper.

This book is comprised of three short stories. The first story is absurd. I kept saying... "Gosh.. I hope the other two stories are better written." And luckily they were. So 2 out of 3 isn't too bad.

Romeo by Gail Falkner
On the way to her friend's family's ranch, Lauren discovers that one of the reasons Carla invited her along was to watch her turn down her cousin Romeo. But Carla wasn't counting on Romeo's determination to have Lauren, or Lauren's willingness to be had.

Romeo is a very hot and romantic story. Romeo is all alpha male. I loved his protectiveness and persistence, it's very sexy. Lauren is innocent and sweet and she fits Romeo like a glove.



Hurts So Good by Lisa Renee Jones

It's all work and no play for Kelly Marshall. When she finally lets her hair down, she meets Marc Majors. Marc makes her forget her career and her inhibitions when they share a night of steamy passion. When it's over, Kelly intends to go back to work and forget all about the special night they shared, but Marc won't give up that easily.

In Hurts So Good, Marc is very sexy and Kelly is strong and yet vulnerable. From their first kiss to their last embrace, I found Hurts So Good to be a very romantic and sexy story.



Sizzle by Sahara Kelly

Eleven years ago Dylan Sinclair and Susanna Chalmers shared and intimate moment without ever touching each other. Susana ran off afterwards and Dylan has wanted her ever since. Now Dylan is back, and he intends to show Susana how good they can be together.

Dylan and Susanna are very different and yet they work. Although I really liked seeing Dylan fall hard for Susanna I wasn't sure he would because he is such a playboy. Sizzle has a lot of hot sex and sweet ending too.

All three stories in Hurts So Good are fantasies, and those small improbable details made them sizzle for me! Hurts So Good is a very hot and fun to read anthology.
