Stephan’s life is on a bit of a downward slide. His book deal is stalled, and his lover Gary has left him for a younger man. Things begin to look up when Patrick walks into his life.

Though only half his age, Patrick is the kind of man that Stephan can spend hours fantasizing about. He could never hope to have a man like Patrick - or could he?

Brought to us by award winning author Jade Falconer, “Around the World” is a short story that follows the May-December flirtation between young dog groomer Patrick and the somewhat jaded travel writer Stephan. Though aimed at a particular audience, any reader will become engrossed in this story and root for Stephan and Patrick to move beyond their sexy banter into a real relationship. Well written and engrossing, readers will get pulled in and wish for a full novel when they reach the end.

Editor Alessia Brio brings us Coming Together Against the Odds, the seventh anthology of erotic fiction from the Phaze Books Coming Together series and twelfth in the Coming Together collections from all publishing venues. Two things make this special collection stand out from the pack. First, there is that all of the proceeds from the sale of the book are donated to Autism Speaks, and second, that each of these tales involves an element of mystery that captivates the reader and holds them riveted to their seat.

Each of the fourteen stories featured in this book is uniquely crafted to take the reader on a journey that can be taken alone or share with a partner, as well as reading the entire book through or enjoying it in single story bites. From the four couples taking their revolving dinner parties to a new level in “Blind Tasting” to the Psychic Advisor with a penchant for S&M in “Sixth Sense” and the somewhat psychotic Trina in “The Arch”, the characters are each so well written and engaging that a series or a novel could be written around them. With a balanced blend of both intrigue and erotica, Coming Together Against the Odds would be an appropriate book for neophytes to the genre of erotic fiction.

About The Book:
“All behavior is communication. The trick is to figure out just what it’s saying. No behavior communicates as clearly or on as many levels as sex. All the physical and emotional senses are engaged. Add the element of intrigue, and the intellect is engaged as well.

Phaze Books, in partnership with editor, Alessia Brio, is proud to announce the release of Coming Together: Against the Odds, a collection of erotic fiction with a mystery theme, with an introduction written by the one & only Maxim Jakubowski.

All proceeds from the sale of this special anthology will benefit Autism Speaks.”

This historical tale is both sexy and exciting as Ms. Killion delves into the sometimes brutal and unjust lives of the Lairds of the Scottish Highlands in the late 1400s.

The secrets of Brycen Castle were the reason a young lad was able to witness the birth of a young lass, her father’s maniacal temper, and his father’s, her mother’s and members of his clan’s violent and savage deaths. Stepping out of the shadows to take the babe from the priest’s hands before the Laird returned to lay waste to her young life, too, he brands the bundle with his father’s signet and escapes with the little one in tow.

Throughout the young maiden’s life, she has been shunned as a witch or worse. Akira is much loved by her adoptive family but is not privy to the information on her real heredity. Her benefactor, although unknown, has captured her young heart as he has long said that he will send for her to become his bride when the time is right. Laird Calin MacLeod has grown since he escaped with his betrothed from Brycen castle and now was a Laird in his own right. When he arrives to get his bride, it is found that she has been taken by someone of his own house, and he and her brother Kendrick must rescue her from the slave auctions to which she had been sold. Returning from the auctions, Calin must slowly woo the lady he has trothed his life to as they make their way back to MacLeod lands and to the wedding. When Akira finds out he is one and the same as her benefactor and that she is not truly a sister to Kendrick, Akira shows her strength in battling her feelings of betrayal and her growing feelings for Calin.

The two must deal with their growing relationship, internal strife and betrayal in the MacLeod lands and the uprising of Laird Kinnon, Akira’s true father, in his attempts to control not only his lands but neighboring clans as well.

I was truly enraptured with this story and its characters. Calin and Akira were both very strong and brave in their drive to protect the ones they love and rid themselves of a man who had left a trail of blood and turmoil throughout their young lives. The book was a sensual and romantic read that fascinated me from the start to the finish with its both amusing and tantalizing scenes, including two weddings and a mass murder. This would be a great beach or summer read to fill your thoughts with imaginative, suspenseful and arousing images of a life long ago.
