About 1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Twelve: From New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Alexandra Ivy, Laura Wright, Lorelei James, Lara Adrian, and introducing Nazarea Andrews and Megan Erickson. Six Dark Tales. Six Sensual Stories. Six Page Turners.
Kayden by Alexandra Ivy- 3.5-4 stars. This was a really good, quick read! I really liked Becca and Kayden. I wanted to see them actually shift and be with their pack. It was a little abrupt in the ending. This was my first read by this author and in this series, but I definitely want to read more! Very interesting and different take on shifters! Puma shifters at that!
Simon by Laura Wright- 3.5-4 stars. Also really good! I liked Simon and Tryst. They were really hot together! I still thought the ending was abrupt, but I definitely want to read more from this series.
Strung Up by Lorelei James- 4 stars. This was a good read. M/M is not my thing. It just doesn't ring my bell, so to speak. But I still enjoyed this book for the interesting story. I definitely felt the connection between Cres and Breck. I like the story. I liked the western/rodeo setting.
The writing was good. It was a good length with lots of depth to the characters. I definitely want to read more of this series too.
Midnight Untamed by Lara Adrian- 3.5 stars. This was a good little short story. I liked the world that was built. This story was a bit OTT sweet, but still I enjoyed it. There is some insta-love, suspense, sweet and sexy times. All good stuff.This was my first read by this author and and I definitely want to read more from this series.
Dirty Sexy Secrets by Nazarea Andrews- 3.25-3.5 stars. This was a pretty good read. This felt like a full length novel and I did like that. There were parts of this I liked and parts I didn't. I liked the story. It was interesting, different and fast paced. I wasn't sure about the writing style at first. It was so fast paced that I felt like I might be missing something but I got used to it after a bit. I liked Hazel and Archer. I definitely felt their connection. There was a good bit of suspense, some family drama, good friends, a bit of a taboo relationships, humor and love. It did feel a little overly dramatic and high school drama at times. Archer was a manwhore and it is brought up often with no mention of Hazel's partners/past. There is a lot of mentioned of secrets from the past that we're left to just wonder about for much of the book. I hated Hazel's nickname, Hazy Eyes. And the words "Green County" is mentioned about 50 times. There were small annoyances like that. But overall, I was definitely entertained and wanted to find out what happened in the end. I did need a bit more resolution and an epilogue would have been awesome to see how the couple's future turned out. There were a few plot holes and things that happened that were never fully explained. Still, I did enjoy this book overall and I would definitely try this author again in the future.
Bite the Hand that Bleeds by Megan Erickson- 3.5 stars. Sexy little short story. Roxy is a poor young woman supporting her teenage brother. She heads to Bite, a Vampire club, with her friend to donate blood for money. Sparks fly when she meets Dru, who is head of the club's security. This prequel was pretty different than Blood Guard, book 1 in the series. It is much sexier and less YA feeling. Looking forward to more from this series!
Overall, I enjoyed all the stories in this bundle! I definitely recommend this series. It is packed full of great novellas and stories I have loved!
About the 1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Twelve Authors-
Alexandra Ivy is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Alexandra: “I’m not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother’s knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library.
Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on.
Years later (no, I’m not admitting how many) I’m still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold!
I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes.
Laura Wright is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. From Laura: “Unlike many of my peers in the writing world, I wasn’t a writer or a reader until I left high school. During my youth I was into theater, song and dance, commercials and boys. I loved romance surely, but I had never read a romance novel until my late teens. With that said, I remember the day I did like it was a moment ago – my aunt gave me the Jude Deveraux novel, Knight in Shining Armor and I couldn’t put it down until the very last word. Then I went straight to the library and got another – then another until I’d read everything she’d ever written. After that, it was McNaught, Howard, Schone, Kleypas, and the Silhouette line, Desire. I instantly loved those emotional, sexy reads, so much so that I began to carve out ideas for my own stories, themes that were unique to me and moved me. In 1997 I enrolled in UCLA extension writing classes, met my mentor and critique partners and since have never stopped writing. I was committed then and I still am now; the need to tell my own romantic stories a full on obsession. My first manuscript was rejected, and though the second one was as well the editor who’d rejected it wanted to see something else from me. I had something (note to authors; always keep working, even after you’ve sent in a proposal) and sent it right away. The day I got the call telling me Desire wanted to buy Cinderella and the Playboy was the best day of my life. That is until I married my husband, and had my
two beautiful children. But I must say, writing is much like motherhood – tough, grueling, surprising, delicious and for me, a dream come true.”
Lorelei James is the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of contemporary erotic western romances set in the modern day Wild West and also contemporary erotic romances. Lorelei’s books have been nominated for and won the Romantic Times Reviewer’s choice Award, as well as the CAPA Award. Lorelei lives in western South Dakota with her family…and a whole closet full of cow girl boots.
From Lorelei: “Why do I have a particular fondness for all things western? Well, I’m a fourth generation South Dakotan, living in the Black Hills, which is chock-full of interesting characters, including cowboys, Indians, ranchers, and bikers. The geographical diversity of the surrounding area showcases mountains, plains, and badlands. Living in and writing about rural settings gives me a unique perspective, especially since I’m not writing historical westerns. Through my fictional world, I can show the ideals and the cowboy way of life are still very much alive.”
Lara Adrian is the New York Times, USA Today and #1 internationally bestselling author of the Midnight Breed vampire romance series and seven award-winning, historical romances, previously released under the pen name Tina St. John.
Lara’s Midnight Breed series is available in hardcover, mass market paperback and e-book through Random House, and in limited edition through Doubleday Book Club, Rhapsody Book Club, Book of The Month, and the Science Fiction Book Club.

Nazarea Andrews (N to almost everyone) is an avid reader and tends to write the stories she wants to read. Which means she writes everything from zombies and dystopia to contemporary love stories.
When not writing, she can most often be found driving her kids to practice and burning dinner while she reads, or binge watching TV shows on Netflix. N loves chocolate, wine, and coffee almost as much as she loves books, but not quite as much as she loves her kids.
N is a self-professed geek and enjoys spending her spare time lost in her favorite fandoms and can often be found babbling about them on social media.
She lives in south Georgia with her husband, daughters, spoiled cat and overgrown dog. She is the author of World Without End series, Neverland Found, Edge of the Falls, and The University of Branton Series. Stop by her twitter (@NazareaAndrews) and tell her what fantastic book she should read next.
Megan Erickson is a USA Today bestselling author of romance that sizzles. Her books have a touch of nerd, a dash of humor, and always have a happily ever after. A former journalist, she switched to fiction when she decided she likes writing her own endings better.
She lives in Pennsylvania with her very own nerdy husband and two kids. Although rather fun-sized, she's been told she has a full-sized personality. When Megan isn't writing, she's either lounging with her two cats named after John Hughes characters or... thinking about writing.
