Concealed Weapon by Barri Bryan

This is an erotic type poem slipped in between the heated stories of the other authors. This reviewer felt Barri Bryan’s sinful poetry and skills would be better suited grouped in a book that contained similar works.

Chocolate At Midnight by Susan M. Sailors

Two people work at the same place find that love covered with chocolate can be not only sweet but also highly decadent and sexually satisfying.

This reviewer will never think of chocolate the same way again. Though this story was entertaining, it did not have the descriptive depth of the other stories, which keep this reviewer detached emotionally throughout the tale.

Here again, Barri Bryan’s lusty poem would shine in a compilation of like poetry. One that displays this author’s wordsmith abilities to their fullest. In this book, both poems got lost, and felt awkward in this anthology.
