Australia Reviews
-
I am an Australian girl fortunate enough not to be affected by our devastating bushfires. But if anybody wants to help, treat yourself to 'Australia' put together by these incredible authors, to who I say thank you š
100% proceeds will go to our hero fire-fighters and wildlife.
Just FYI regarding the catastrophic affects of our bushfires:
š¦šŗ Since September, Australia has experienced the worst bushfires in our history.
š¦šŗ The conditions have been described as āapocalypticā and likened to āan atomic bombā.
š¦šŗ An estimated 480 million animals have been killed since bushfires in NSW started in September 2019.
š¦šŗ At least 1700 homes have been destroyed across the country in the fires.
This is now available for preorder. š -

HERE'S AN EXCERPT FROM MY STORY:
A drop of water falls from his eyelash, and Iām helpless. This strong man uses every ounce of muscle to protect me. Heās like the water wrapping around the earth. I want to soak him into my skin. āWash my hair,ā I say. āLater. I want you now. Liam, I want you.ā
āYou should rest. And I shouldāā
āDo a perimeter check?ā Itās not fair to tease him about this, but he needs the teasing. He needs something light and playful in his life. āI need my perimeter checked.ā
Emerald glints down at me. āEast? West? North?ā
I take his hand and drag it lower. Heās my very own Atlas, holding up the weight of the world. Itās my job to make that load a little lighter. He lets me pull his hand between my legs. A light, watery touch makes me gasp.
āSouth.ā He rubs my intimate places with blunt, casual strokes. āThere does seem to be some weakness in your defenses.ā Two fingers invade me, sandpaper on velvet. āHere.ā
Iām gratified by the roughness of his voice, by the dark look in his green eyes. Iām spread open to him, vulnerable and wet, impaled on his fingers, but heās affected, too. Hurting with it. His cock presses against my hip, heavy, insistentāhotter than the water that streams over my skin. -
Have you read Audrey and Elias's story yet???!

A huge THANK YOU to Skye Warren, who put this anthology together! -
Just what the doctor orderedā¦ sort of
Iāve been in and out of the hospital for the last few weeks (nothing too serious or life-threatening) and Australia was the perfect book during this time. My attention span hasnāt been fantastic, so short little stories that packed a punch were great. I definitely had my favourites of the bunch and there was even a couple that had me wanting to throw my Kindle against the wall. The start of each story was a little surprise and I never knew what I would be getting. A lot of my favourite sub-genres have been covered and the authors have given us a wide range of characters and storylines to keep most romance readers satisfied.
Iām proud to be an Aussie and Iām proud and so grateful that Iām a part of the romance community that is thoughtful, sweet and caring enough to put this anthology together.
**********
Penny Reid, you make my wee little heart go pitter, patter. ššš
Kylie Scott, I was worried that Iād bust my stitches I was laughing so hard. The best laugh I've had in ages...just wished it hadn't hurt so much. š
Rebecca Yarros, your Basket Day made me smile, sigh and blush.
Tamsen Parker, youāre new to me, but Waltz with Me, Matilda was definitely one of my favourites and Iām glad to have āmetā you and your wonderful story.
Sierra Simone, I keep telling myself Iām not really an M/M reader but then I read Sanguine and youāve made me a liarā¦HOT!!!
Robin Covington, I feel like I need to know more of your characters. This little glimpse at Jezebel Cove has left me wanting MORE!
Ummmā¦Mary Catherine Gebhard, Iām a wee bit embarrassed at how much The Boogieman turned me on. Heās a really, really bad man, but geez he gave me shivers up my spine.
Melanie Moreland, I LOVED Stitches and Iām so glad that I got to experience your wonderful story. Even though it was short, it left me satisfied...but...wanting more.
Iām thinking Iāve been missing out, Michelle Heard. Those Trinity Academy characters were cool and Preston was the perfect nerdy hero.
Iāll be honest, Brighton Walsh, I loved Adam a lot more than Paige but I definitely liked her enough to want more.
Chelle Bliss, I thought I was over the āHot Bikerā faze, but One Wild Ride has made me reconsiderā¦
Willow Aster, I wish all our Aussie Footie players were as hot and sweet as your Lochie, and Violet was my favourite kind of heroine and I easily slotted myself in her shoes.
These were just a few of the stories that stuck with me and left me wanting more. I loved getting a glimpse at some new authors and getting a snippet from some favourites.
**********
Thank you, to all the authors who contributed to this anthology. It was for a great causeā¦ my recovery. š And, alsoā¦ thank you for contributing your stories to raise money for all the firefighters that fought the fires, and the wildlife that was killed or injured in the bushfires.
I LOVE THE ROMANCE COMMUNITY!!! -

My contribution is called Where the Current Takes You and here is a little peek. Thank you for reading <3
"Why did you really come and sit down at my table?ā I asked him.
āYou want the truth?ā
āThatās the rule, isnāt it? Your rule?ā
āAye. All right, Iāll tell you. I watched you try to paddleboard and fail. I watched you get up again and again. You kept trying. There was something in your expression that I liked. Here is this beautiful womanāāNate held up his handāādonāt argue with me. Hereās this beautiful woman with a little bit of sadness and a whole lot of determination on her face. And when your oar skimmed my way after that spectacular wipeout, I felt it was like an arrow pointing right at me.ā
āCupidās arrow?ā I said dryly, trying not to show how much his words touched me.
āLetās not get carried away; we just met,ā he said with that charming grin of his. āI donāt believe things happen coincidentally, is my point.ā
āOkay, well, youāre out of questions, but I have one more.ā
āIām ready.ā
I sucked in a breath. āWhat do you see happening next? Between us?ā
Nateās face lit up, and he was so devastatingly handsome, he was nearly blinding. āThis is my favorite question, and Iām so glad you asked..."

It warms my heart as an Australian (fortunate to be unaffected by the devastating bushfires) that a massive amount of romance authors have banded together to create Australia.
100% of proceeds will go towards firies and wildlife organisations.
Some facts that reveal the destruction that ravages across Australia (including some perhaps lesser known facts about Australia's horrendous, disinterested government):
šØ Bushfires have been ongoing in New South Wales since September 2019.
šØ Over a billion animals have been killed (the count was originally half a billion, but estimates have gone up), with an indescribable amount of habitats destroyed - this will cause species to become threatened/potentially extinct and dismantle delicate ecosystems.
šØ New South Wale's fire front stretches from Sydney to Afghanistan if made into a straight line.
šØ Some of Australia's firies are volunteers who are unemployed - government benefits have been suspended because they can't apply for the requisite jobs needed to continue receiving the benefits whilst they continue to volunteer.
šØ 29 people have been killed (at least) with over 2,500 homes destroyed.
šØ Australia's government is more interested in discussing the economy instead of acknowledging that climate change is a genuine political concern (Australia won't forget Smoko abandoned us to holiday in Hawaii!)
šØ Australia's indigenous fauna requires fire and heat to germinate - as beautiful as nature is, this process, combined with prolonged periods of drought, means Australia's fire season is longer and more dangerous.
šØ Even when the fires cease, the destruction won't - besides lost pets, homes and livelihoods, mental health concerns will increase; the rain will wash charred debris into freshwater sources, affecting aquatic wildlife and humans; land animals will continue to suffer from habitat loss and starvation, making them easy targets for cats and foxes.
The Last Song by Skye Warren (3)
I havenāt read North Security. However, you donāt need to have read the series to understand this novella. Skye Warren delivered a narrative of thrilling beginnings.
Be There With Me by Giana Darling (5)
Giana Darling delivered an evocative novella of loss and love. Darcy and Tennessee have a bond that wonāt be wavered or canāt be shattered by difficulties. Beautiful, intense and haunting, I wouldnāt hesitate to devour a longer version of Be There With Me.
Fireworks by Aleatha Romig (4)
Brought back into Aleatha Romigās Web of Sin mysterious world, we witness Winnie and Garrett explore a newfound romance filled with heat, danger and intrigue.
3,2,1 by Parker S. Huntington (5)
Iād consume 3, 2, 1 if Parker S. Huntington decided to turn this into an angst-filled lengthier second chance, enemies to lovers romance. Quick and short, 3, 2, 1 is intense and filled with so much heat! -
I would solely reading this book just looking at the amazing line-up! But knowing I can help firefighter and wildlife charities in Australia? SIGN ME TF UP!

My contribution to this project is Just Jane, a fun and sexy short story about the bonds of friendship and the risks of spontaneity. It's not a prequel to any story. It's just meant to make you smile. -
Ah, another lovely tale that whisked me away to a land of dance and thrills.
Waltz With Me, Matilda is a great short story by the always lovely Tamsen Parker. Matilda and Sebastian make quite the pair of neighbours, who might just be interested in a little bit more...
He is a writer, and Tilda inspires him. But, she doesn't know that. She has always lusted over him - that neighbour down the hall that helps her out when she has to peace out for days at a time. He's a great friend and is always there to help. Yet, she wants more. When she propositions him, he comes to her dance class and opens up a world of opportunity to her... And there may be a bit of dominance in the bedroom, if ya know what I mean. Which, you better - I made it kind of obvious with that sentence, just saying.
This book is so hot and is the sweetest little gem I've found in a while. It makes me feel all ooey gooey and was just the right amount of Tamsen Parker to remind me how much I love her writing, while I wait for her next book. It's like Christmas in July for me over here!
Five out of five stars. -
It's release day!!! So honored to be part of such a worthwhile cause.

What a super treat this book is. Short stories by amazing authors that are just the right size to get a happy into your day. I have read a few stories and I know that I will eventually read them all. And the most important thing is that these authors gave of their time and income to donate to all the proceeds to firefighters and wildlife in Australia.

Where the Current Takes You- a sweet second chance romance by Emma Scott. It is set in Australia and will have you smiling and believing that fate is alive and well and always working to get things right where love is concerned.
The Rule of Always- a saucy little short story romance by Kennedy Ryan with the Professor and his former student. As always itās great to have Grip and Bristol be part of the story.
Sanguine by Sierra Simone. A former priest and a vampire......need I say more. A delicious and scrumptious MM short story that you can sink you teeth into.
And off to read more........ -
This amazing collection isn't only entertaining and from some of my favorite authors, the proceeds benefit the firefighters and wildlife of Australia.
We have all be devastated by the fires in Australia, and feeling helpless. This anthology was conceived to do what we do...write...to help what so many are doing...fighting the fires and helping the wildlife.

Aleatha Romig...just one of many trying to help.

Solo lei Basket Day de Rebecca Yarros y Mal + Anne + 1 de Kylie Scott.
Basket Day de Rebecca Yarros.
Ame esta escena corta. Bash y Emerson son tan lindos y adorables que quede con mas ganas de ellos en Point Of Origin, y ahora con esta escena extra me paso lo mismo.
Ojala Rebecca Yarros se animara no solo a continuar la saga Legacy sino a hacerlo con novelas mas largas, siempre me saben a poco sus lecturas.
3.5 Estrellas!
*********************************************
Mal + Anne + 1 de Kylie Scott.
Fue una escena tan entraƱable y a la vez tan divertida. Ni siquiera en un momento tan especial como ese, Mal y la banda son capaces de ser serios y adultos. š
Me gusto mucho, no solo narra una vivencia muy bonita, sino que encima la autora supo plasmar muy bien la dinamica de esta gran y loca familia.
3 Estrellas!
Ambas historias que lei me agradaron mucho, los personajes son especiales para mi, y personalmente creo que al leer estos extras puedes llegar a conocer que tipo de libros crean estas autoras, no descarto leer alguna escena mas, tal vez de una escritora que conozca o una a la que desee conocer.
3.5 Estrellas! -
Me: Hates anthologies.
Also me: Buys it anyway. -

Review of King of Libertines
Short pirates romance, King of Libertines plunges the reader into the 18th century, intoĀ an atmosphere of sailors andĀ costumes thatĀ IĀ highlyĀ enjoyed. This prequel is definitely the kind that picked my curiosityĀ and left me longing for more. It screams adventure andĀ steamy scenes. I am not familiar with this genre at all, but I am completely under the charm of Bennett and Priest. Should have the lady pirate heeded the warning?
"Heāll bed you. Then heāll cheat you. Donāt sleep with him."
I am very excited for the upcomingĀ Sea of Ruin!
Ā
I VOLUNTARILY REVIEWED AN ARC COPY OF THIS BOOK. THANK YOU!!! -
4.5 stars, I read 4 of the stories in this anthology so far.
Mal + Anne + 1 - Kylie Scott
If you've read the Stage Dive series, then this couple needs no introduction. Years after having read Play, they still remain one of my favorite couples in the romance world.
This novella is pretty self-explanatory with the title, as the two prepare to add to their family. While I love Mal and his crazy antics, I'm not sure a normal pregnant woman could handle his behavior for hours on end.
While this is a super quick read, it definitely put a smile on my face after a long workday.
Where the Current Takes You - Emma Scott
A sweet vacation romance that honors the beauty of Australia and what they have lost with the wildfires.
Kate Collins' trip to Australia is far from what she envisioned when she booked the trip.
It was supposed to be her honeymoon.
Now it is a quasi mini-vacay/work trip.
How things changed so drastically, I'll keep for you to discover, but it makes her hesitant to take a risk when a sexy Aussie begins flirting with her.
Nate is instantly charmed by Kate and will do whatever it takes to remain in her orbit. He's not overtly aggressive, and it is his more subtle approach that makes the difference.
I'm not usually a huge fan of novellas because of the speed of the romance, but of course, this author makes it work. It didn't feel rushed and the turn of events at the end was amusing and not totally unrealistic. The perfect quickie read!
King of Libertines - Pam Godwin
What I loved about this installment is it is a prequel to her full-length release, Sea of Ruin, but the author manages to give the reader enough so that they aren't hanging.
This is an unusual genre, dark historical romance, featuring a pirate. Not something I typically read, but I was intrigued. And what I read, I really enjoyed. First, the main pirate is a female, Bennett Sharp. Second, it offers the promise of buried treasure, with some sexy times along the journey.
I don't entirely trust the "hero" of this story, Priest Farrell, and I'm guessing he is part of the reason the full-length story takes a darker turn. We shall see if I'm right. Sea of Ruin releases on April 28th, 2020.
Fireworks - Aleatha Romig
This novella is a spinoff from the author's web trilogies, featuring Winnie Douglas, who works with Araneae (Web of Sin trilogy) at Sinful Threads.
Upon arriving in Chicago, she is quickly overwhelmed with a security threat at the Sinful Threads office. Enter Garrett Givens, who comes to save the day.
Having read the Web of Sin trilogy, this novella was a nice addition. If you haven't read that trilogy, or any of the author's other books, this is a good intro into the romantic suspense her books offer. A blend of fast paced action, endless twists, and intense chemistry between the main characters. Stories that will keep you engaged throughout.

Great charity anthology where some of my all time favorite authors participate! Loved it!
Some of my favorites include Penny Reid, Kennedy Ryan, Emma Scott, Jewel E. Ann, Rebecca Yarros, Pam Godwin and Sierra Simone. Definitely recommend and itās for a good cause! -
King Of Libertines by Pam Godwin
"The raw, uninhibited magic I felt with him wasn't one-sided, and I didn't know if I was strong enough to keep this partnership out of my bed."
King Of Libertines is a glimpse of Ms. Godwin's upcoming novel, Sea of Ruin and I'm captivated already. A peek of how hot the passion will be between Bennett and Priest. This is going to be an epic historical romance worth waiting.
Fireworks by Aleatha Romig
Winnie, a part-owner of the Sinful Threads, is in danger and Garrett was assigned to be her bodyguard for the time being. The undeniable attraction was present when they are together. Will there be fireworks? Your guess is as good as mine.
The Rule of Always by Kennedy Ryan
"You've wanted to keep me since the day we met, and tonight I'm going to show you why you should."
A steamy short story of Iz, the professor, and Callie, the former TA. It's really good, and I hope a full novel will come to fruition in the future.
Off to read more stories from these well-renowned authors of today! -
This book is amazing the amount of brilliant authors that are in it it's hard to choose what to read first. All the money from the book goes to the wildlife and freighter in Australia.
So far I've read
Pam Godwin - King Of Libertines
I need more now !!!
I'm not a big fan of pirate and historical romance but what I've read here was just brilliant and I'm totally hooked. I need more of this story like now. This short story was so good and it got us knowing a small part of what's to coming next. There is so much to come from Bennett and Priest. Priest is a guy that has a strong presence he knows how to deal with the life of being a pirate. Also he knows a lot about everyone else to. But now Priest as his eyes on Bennett this isn't goin to go well. Bennett might be the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen and he would do anything to help her.
Now Bennett she is a strong woman being the captain of a ship that used to owned by her dad is a big deal but she can deal with them. Anyone that goes against her they better beware of her. Now she has Priest and Reynolds her crew just got stronger. But does she have Priest and will be make her stronger or weaker. We will just have to find out when the full story is out. I'm so excited for that book. This author is dark and twisted and I luv it I just know that this story is goin to brilliant.
Aleatha Romig- Firework
Love the Sparrow Crew.
Fireworks is the prequel of Garrett and Winnie's story. The Sparrow gang are just brilliant I've loved all the books so far and I'm dying for more of the hot security and the Sinful Threads partner. Garrett is smoking hot you can talk into his eyes there so sexy. He doesn't have much of life outside of Sparrow but Winnie has caught his eye and she is hard to forget.
I'm glad we are getting more of Winnie there is still a lot to know about her but she is close to her partners in Sinful Threads and she is dedicated. The girls can't travel like they used to do know it's down to Winnie and she doesn't mind she luvd meeting people and traveling. She doesn't have much time for relationships but one guy that she met has been a big part of her fantasy Garrett. She just fell for him as soon as she met him and know he has just saved her and there stuck in a room together till things calm down. What on earth could happen between them when there sexual tension is crazy hot.
I'm dying for more of this story. I've luvd what I've read from these characters so far so bring it on. -
A limited time romance anthology (so grab yours now), an excellent opportunity to meet new authors and visit your most loved ones. Some of these stories introduce us to new worlds, others will bring you back down to memory lane.
And the best part is......
All royalties from this project will be donated to relief funds in Australia, with 50% going to a firefighter charity and 50% going to a wildlife charity.
Do you really need any more reasons to grab this booty...
And about booty... among these stories there is a certain pirate who stole my heart already š¤
Ms Godwin please give me some more Priest...
Other stories I enjoyed...
Thank you Ms Warren for some more Samantha and Liam
3,2,1 Ms Huntington short and addictive
Ms Simone... bite me one more time š§š¾ -
I can't go past an anthology especially one that's raising money for a good cause and honestly these bushfires didn't directly affect us but watching the country burn with nothing that could be done to stop it was devastating.
So obviously I one clicked this and have read a book here and there then plan to come back and finish it off and I finally got back and read a few more of the stories so I can finally rate it and add it to my reading challenge.
