He then claims her as his mate and he uses her and rapes her and beats her up, i feel so sorry for Bethany because her life ahas been so hard with nothing in it to make her happy. Its to much of a shock for her, she ends up passing out. When she comes to they talk it out and find out whats been going on, Devon gets all jealous when he finds out she has someone else and pulls her into a hot kiss, yummy. She breaks away from Devon and makes her way home to Tyson. When Tyson see's her he knows she's been kissed by someone else he walks round her smelling her and then he flips out on her and beats her up..
Devon has to find somewhere to stay while its day light, so he seeks out an old vampire, we dont learn much about this vampire and i think it would be nice if we had but he gives Devon some place to stay but at the same time he warns him what trouble will come if he goes after Bethany. Devon rescues Bethany the next night and theey make love for hours, i will say that this was really hot and sexy..
Tyson beats Beathany so much for taking off that he kills her and this then leads to Devon wanting revenge. Right im going to leave it there or ill be telling you the full story, but just know that there is twists to this that you wouldnt think of. I liked this first story in the book, but it did jump just a little bit and i had to reread little bits twice to see what was going on, other then that i think it was a great story and i loved the way it ended, they is so much detail in this story and i do think its worth the read.
Now on to Cruz's Salvation this is the second story in this book, and its the story of one of Devons close friends who was turned into a vampire at the same time as Devon was. He spent a lifetime fillied with suffering and loneliness and despair, untill one night he found Kiara. Kiara is a werewolf who Cruz is forbidden to love. This is such a sad story but is the better of the two in the book.
We start off with a very romantic but sexy scene where Cruz is following Kiara through some woods, he's watching her and carving her, while they are both teaseing each other, its so hot i wish i was her. This goes on to a very sexy scene that made my toes curl but they get disrupted because Kirars father all most catches them, its heart breaking when they have to part, looking into each others eyes, yes the big girl that i am i all most cryed. Kiara ends up taking off and finding Cruz.
Ok ill stop there because i want you guys to read this for your selves. May 05, Evelyn Amaro rated it it was amazing.

Not only are they on opposing sides of the supernatural world, but she is the mate of an Alpha that will not give up easily. Soon they have to make a decision: As everyone who reads this blog knows, I am a huge Stacey Kennedy fan and she did not disappoint. This is a steamy, action-packed thriller that takes you through a rollercoaster of emotion, danger, and sizzling romance. This is the story of Cruz and Kiara. Cruz is a vampire in love with Kiara, an alpha's daughter.
They keep their love a secret because of the war between Vamps and Weres, but that doesn't stop how they feel about each other. Unable to see each other often, Kiara gets depressed and her loving alpha father believes it's because she wants a mate and that is when everything goes from bad to worse. When her father chooses a mate for Kiara, she is forced to make the biggest decision of her life: Accept her appointed mate that her father has chosen, or leave everything behind, including her pack and her adoring father, and the wolf inside to be with Devon forever.
This is a captivating, sensual, tear-jerker, heart-racing thriller of a read that will leave you begging for more! This book is rated 5 fangs by Paromantasy. Short stories are always difficult. Whether it is to write them, or to review them. You have just a few pages to get everything you want across, so in general I'm usually not a big fan of them.
However, they can usually be an easy read. Overall, this was a fun, sexy short read! Devon and Bethany were in a relationship 10 years ago, when he had to go to war, hoping to come back and marry her. Except destiny had Short stories are always difficult. Except destiny had different plans for them. He dies in a battle field, but is Fast forward 10 years, and now Bethany is in a bit of a bind. She was turned into a werewolf against her will, and is now forced to be the Alpha mate, who just happens to be an abusive prick. She was physically abused and raped constantly.
However, the author does an excellent job making you feel ok with this situation, if not comfortable with it. And after 10 years apart, Devon is now finally back for her. Now he just has to protect her from her husband and get her away. Their relationship works well for me, specially considering that in a short story there's not a lot of space to develop a true relationship, so the fact that they had a past together made the whole story work.
And the sex scenes were pretty hot! They already knew each other, and what they liked, and I liked the small reference of "we had just started experimenting with this His story is completely different, even though it still manages to incorporate the previous one, and it does take place after Devon and Bethany are together. Cruz is a lone vampire. He had met a girl and fallen in love, except she just happened to be the daughter of a werewolf Alpha.
And their species hate each other. Of course this is still a pretty sexy story, even though Kiara is a virgin, they still manage to be quite creative in their short sexual encounters. May 05, Amber I. AwesomeSauce Book Club rated it it was amazing. Wow, 2 amazing authors in one book. Both these stories where great! I couldn't put it down. Both books offer forbidden love, were wolfs and vampires,and totally hot sexy scenes!! Both women really pull you in. You feel so sad for them and want to help them out. The men in the story are amazingly kind and there for them.
You get totally sucked in with the emotional factor. If you love paranormal romances then this is the book for you! I Wow, 2 amazing authors in one book. I know this review is short and all but I really think the stories speak for themselves and it is totally worth picking it up! I give you my guarantee!! I read the first short story, then I DNF'ed the freebie. Whatever this ss wanted me to understand, I clearly failed. I can't accept abuse and a "plot" in which the saving came from outside.
O Believable, yes, normal, no. May 14, Jody rated it really liked it. This is a smoldering anthology featuring two of today's exciting young authors and features two friends, made vampire on the battlefield, searching for redemption. Through the love of two women forbidden to them through prejudice and fate, they find the happiness they've been searching for by committing the ultimate sacrifice. This first story in this collection is Devon's Redemption by Eve Langlais and is probably my more favorite of the two.
Devon and Bethany had a love they thought would last This is a smoldering anthology featuring two of today's exciting young authors and features two friends, made vampire on the battlefield, searching for redemption. Devon and Bethany had a love they thought would last forever, but after his change on the battlefield and her being violently claimed by and changed into a Lycan they now appear to be lost to each other forever.
This is an intensely emotional read with Bethany going through much more trauma than Devon. She's been mentally, physically, and sexually assaulted by her Lycan mate Tyson and seeing that brutality makes you ache for her. She refuses to give up and I applaud the strength she showed in getting away from Tyson.
She's a worthy heroine. Devon is strong and sexy and is very accepting of his vampirism. There's no bemoaning his situation like some vampires do and it's refreshing to see. With some short stories you feel cheated when it comes to the relationship. Sometimes the word count doesn't allow for a relationship to be fully explored, but because these two have a past I could easily understand them coming back together so quickly. Their sexual interludes are steamy and perfectly spaced throughout the story so that the storyline flows smoothly.
Forbidden Fruit – P.S. I Love You
The ending definitely makes you feel that there's more to this story with an intriguing world full of stories still to be told. My individual grade for this is an A. The other story in this collection is Cruz's Salvation by Stacey Kennedy and involves a Romeo and Juliet kind of storyline where Cruz the vampire is forbidden to claim the only woman he loves because she's a Lycan. Kiara is that Lycan and at times seems very immature. She keeps expecting Cruz to fix everything and doesn't have the backbone to stand up to her father about what she truly wants.
Forbidden Fruit
In that respect she's a much weaker heroine than Bethany. She's had an easy life which encourages her immaturity. Cruz is honorable and strong and willing to sacrifice much for Kiara's safety and happiness. He's a carbon copy of Devon and it's easy to see why they're friends. Having Devon show up in the story is a nice way to tie the two stories together and the ending leaves possibilities for the future.
The relationship doesn't feel as strong as the previous couples. And I think it is because of Kiara's immaturity that their relationship doesn't ring true. There's no equality between the two and I don't feel as strong of a connection. This was an entertaining anthology and I can't help but think that the world these characters inhabit would make a great series.
See a Problem?
The battle between the Vampires and Lycans would make a great foundation to a series and if that happens then I'll definitely be in line for more stories. Once Bitten, Forever Burned was a very sensual and romantic anthology that made a quick little read by two great authors.

Each was full of romance, action and desire with plenty of smexy scenes heating up the pages. The characters and relationship were well developed and the suspense had me eagerly turning the pages.
A great bite of erotic paranormal romance! Aug 31, Ning rated it really liked it. After reading YA books for the last month, I was starving for some romance. I felt like an addict having withdrawals and this book served as a quick injection. I finished the book in one night before going to bed! Both authors managed to make the characters alive and special in such a short novella. She never gave up and held out hope for escaping. I admired Bethany for standing up for herself.
Her story is very emotional for such a short novella. In the second story, Cruz loves Kiara, but werewolves and vampires are enemies never meant to be together. Both authors are really good at the smexy scenes! With so few pages, they still made the sex scenes smoking hot and used them to form connections between the characters!

They were both tender and steamy love stories that tugged at my heart because I enjoyed the characters too. The first story tells of Devon and Bethany. Devon left home and his girl to fight in the military only to take a hit, This dualogy written by two different authors and tied together by the theme and the connection between the two heroes offered up two superb reads.
Devon left home and his girl to fight in the military only to take a hit, die on the battlefield and rise to become a monster from his own nightmares. He stays away from home as long as he can before he finally goes back needing to see how Bethany gets on, but dreading that she is with someone else. Ten years of Bethany's life have gone by since Devon died, but so much has changed. She lives each day in dread and misery since one fateful night six years before. She is no longer what she once was and she is with a possessive abusive creature who won't let her go.
Devon learns of the situation and resolves that he will protect and love Bethany like he should have done before. Things are not simple and the male who had her once her back.
The second story is about Cruz and Kiara. Cruz is a vampire and Kiara the alpha wolf's daughter. Their love must be kept secret and they must meet in the shadows. Kiara's father notices her melancholy and misinterprets it. He thinks her wolf nature pines for a mate which is true, but not fully true so he finds her a worthy mate and insists she complete the bonding. Kiara's situation has now become desperate so she runs to Cruz. This leads to the confrontation they were dreading when their love is discovered. This is probably one of the few times that I can say both are well worth the read and I enjoyed both equally.
These stories would appeal to most Paranormal Romance fans and definitely to those who like these writers. May 26, Tishia Paperback Opinion rated it it was amazing.

The young woman was considered one of the hottest girls on campus and is extremely popular amongst both of the sexes. She was easy to make friends with and is a member of more than one of the social clubs at the school.
With this much energy, it is interesting that the one fear Brandy has is being abandoned, so she keeps herself totally immersed in activities in order not to feel lonely. It is this kind of paranoia that ultimately gets her in hot water. Kindle Edition , 13 pages. To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up.
