Demon's Captive by Stephanie Snow, Loose ID, LLC, 2007

Copied Blurb:

Captured by the invading Commander Melmanon, Charity is torn between dreams of freedom and the brutal domination of her master. Yearning for the heart of his slave, Melmanon must decide if it is better to be loved--or feared.

     The two stories here are both ebooks and both by authors that I really enjoy. I turned to these books when I was having reading problems… I needed something that I knew was going to hold my interest and both Amanda Young and Megan Hart can do that without even trying.
     Amanda Young was my introduction to gay romance and, regardless of the genre that she writes, she’s a wonderful author who really brings her characters to life and they, very often reluctantly, find it hard to give themselves over to love.
     Megan Hart’s stories are just as absorbing, but different. She writes extremely well about the complexities inherent in human relationships ~ her characters are always facing having to learn more about themselves and about the person with whom they have a relationship ~ and never a dull moment anywhere to be found.
     As to Excellence, both stories are individually rated, but the steaminess rating ~ Inferno ~ is the same for both ~ they are, after all, romantica (aka erotic romances).

Overall RATING:
Excellence: Great to Excellent
Steaminess: Inferno

     I found Amber Quill Press when I went looking for some of Megan Hart's ebooks; so of course I signed up for the newsletter.  Uh yeah... I should have known that this would be very tempting... and I was right!  The first two stories reviewed here are both stories that I came across in one of the newsletters, and they both sounded so good... and my ability to stay away from stories that appeal is notoriously non-existent. 
The third story reviewed here is by a fairly new-to-me author ~ Amanda Young ~ that I've been gobbling up anything and everything that I can get my hands on.  Eye Candy is her latest release and actually a sequel to two of her previous stories, so that was a given.  Fun, fun, fun!

RATING:
Excellence ratings follow each story
Steaminess: Heat Wave to Inferno
