Lia’s Ebuzz
I enjoy reading the EC Cavemen installments, because they give me an opportunity to try a variety of authors. In this case, all six authors were new to me.
Allyson James’ “Dragonmagic” was my favorite of the six stories–I thought James did a wonderful job of world-building and romance. I like the way she transformed the traditional save the woman from the dragon tale into a unique maiden saves enslaved dragon story.
I also enjoyed “The Ambassador’s Widow” by Myla Jackson, a story about a man who must pretend to be an ambassador so he can ensure the success of certain negotiations. Watching Andre try to resist made me smile, although I wished the story had been a little bit longer.
Three of the stories included a menage, and I admit I’m not the best reader for this kind of story. “Call Me Barbarian” by Liddy Midnight was the one I enjoyed most. Midnight creates an intriguing world, and I loved how the heroine ended up in a position of power at the end.
I enjoyed the book overall and plan to check out other books by James and Jackson to see if they interest me.
An excerpt can be found here, as well as check out the authors site for more info. You can buy the ebook here and here in print. Thanks for the Ebuzz Lia!
