Madeleine Oh gives us a pleasurable Interlude, bringing erotica writer Alex Carpenter to a cozy cottage on the mystic Isle of Wales, and into the dangerously sexy arms of lawyer Dai Hughes. Alex never dreamed house sitting for her Aunt Maria, and dipping into her personal magic hot spring would find her the Dom who would steal her submissive heart. Dai is immediately captivated by the feisty Alex, but unwittingly makes her believe he is married. Still, a moment sharing the steamy waters of Morgaine's spring brings them together in fevered dreams where her ultimate submission could lead to love.

A very hot read with charming scenery, local music and folklore, and a touch of romantic magic start this anthology on a memorable note.

A smiling alligator in a storm-ridden Louisiana marsh leads the way in Dominique Adair's heated offering The Cajun. Rachel Thierry grew up in the marshes by the shores of Gulf of Mexico, teased by her older brothers, and eventually tempted by their best friend Etienne Broussard. Etienne was a notorious ladies man who always kept her at arm's length. When a hurricane brings them together in his isolated house years later, a second storm erupts. In the dark and stormy night, neither one can deny that they need the special brand of sensuality the other can supply. This Cajun Master is summoned to his destiny in an ending with a twist that brings a smile to the reader too.

Sexy and fun, with an underlying message about maintaining the treasures of the unique Louisiana marshlands and shore, so damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Jennifer Dunne brings us the final story in the anthology, taking us to sunny Florida and a highly imaginative story of sin, atonement, and what constitutes true freedom. Life Sentence presents us with Samantha Taylor, who is forced to put her teaching career on hold to care for her injured mother. Trying to ease her frustrations, she buys a book about domination and submission; which magically provides her with the sexy Master Giacomo. This sinfully seductive Dom wants only to pleasure her to her heart's content, as part of his repentance. Together they begin to learn that freedom comes when you can let go of the past and welcome the chance to give with love.

Cleverly crafted, with heat and tenderness deftly intertwined with the tragedies of each characters past, this is an excellent ending to this Masterful anthology.
