SECRETS VOLUME 22 DARK WHISPERS

Elisa Adams – Birthday Wish

In BIRTHDAY WISH, Anna Kelly takes a chance when her former childhood friend, Dean Harrison, asks her what she would wish for on her birthday if she could have anything that she wanted. Easy decision for her. One incredible weekend with Dean. And Dean is more than willing to give it to her. But can one weekend open up doors and possibilities that neither of them planned?
     SECRETS VOLUME 22: DARK WHISPERS is a great continuation of this series of anthologies. Although I struggled to get through the first story the final three were more than worth the effort. This is a group of stories that portray the strong independent woman beautifully. But BIRTHDAY WISH by Ms. Adams was by far the best story in the anthology for me. The sexual chemistry between characters was erotic and captivating. The lust pulled you in, but it was the development of deeper emotions that kept you there, eagerly turning the pages to see what was next. Red Sage Publishing definitely has a winner with the SECRETS anthologies. Each new volume offers something for everyone and this reader is rarely disappointed. So believe me when I say that you can’t fail with any of these exciting volumes!

AFFLICTION BY ELISA ADAMS

"Affliction" by Elise Adams. Shane asks Holly what does his friend Andrew offer her that he does not. She says stability and safety; he says boredom as he begins to understand she fears the fantasies he brings out in her without revealing his most inner secret though the attacks on her make that difficult.

Affliction by Elisa Adams - Blue Ribbon Rating: 4
    Holly hasn’t had an easy life. She has been through some stuff that would put most sane people in an asylum.  Andrew is the type of man she has longed for all her life.  Andrew is sensitive, caring, and absolutely perfect in every way.  Holly thinks she has found the one until Shane, Andrews friend shows up and things change.  Now there is tension between Shane and Andrew and she’s caught in the middle.  All three are keeping secrets that are dark enough to rip the three of them apart that will change their lives forever.
    AFFLICTION reaches out to the reader on an emotional level and has plenty of drama to keep you sighing in wonder.  Holly is a strong woman to have gone through everything that she has. It has made her even stronger in character.  The conflict between Andrew and Shane is rampant. I could feel the tension as if I was right in the middle of it.  Holly was torn as to which man she wanted to be with. I empathized with her as she battled with her emotions. Love scenes are highly erotic and leave the reader panting in ecstasy.  Elisa Adams is a talented author who is quickly making a name for herself in the romantic genre. I am excited to see what her next tale will bring.
