Celeste and Corrine Carson are sisters that have reached the pinnacle of success as authors. Corrine writes historical fantasy romances featuring Mykhayl Tibronson, the High King of Torhtremer, and his family, while Celeste is the author of a futuristic/sci-fi series starring Jarred Varrain, an enforcement officer. Mykhayl and Jarred have each gone on many dangerous adventures through the sisters' books. What Corrine and Celeste don't know is that somehow, some way, what they've written has become reality in two alternate universes. Worse yet, Jarred and Mykhayl know about them and plan to take their revenge. In a bold move, Jarred and Mykhayl penetrate our dimension and kidnap the sisters (while they're in the middle of trying out lingerie, no less). Now it's payback time for Corrine and Celeste as they each face a furious and handsome (not to mention well-endowed) warrior. In Diane Whiteside's BOUND BY THE DRAGON, Mykhayl Tibronson, the High King of Torhtremer, has brought back his tormentor for punishment. Thanks to Corrine, Mykhayl has been imprisoned and tortured numerous times by his enemies. Worst of all, she caused an ice serpent to bite him and render him sterile. An intolerable situation for a king. Mykhayl intends to make sure that this sorceress will no longer be able to make his life hell, even if he has to shackle her to his bed. Bewildered, bemused and definitely aroused (after all, she's very familiar with every inch of that physique) Corrine finds herself accused of being a sorceress and being eyed as a tasty snack both my Mykhayl and the imperial dragon, Khyber! Wanting to make amends for all that she unknowingly put him through, Corrine is determined to cure his sterility and help him fight his enemies, even if it means being stuck in this universe forever.
In Angela Knight's BOUND BY THE DREAM, Jarred Varrain finally has his chance to avenge himself on Celeste. Because of her he'd been betrayed by the woman he loved, tortured by alien reptiles and, worst of all, had watched her plot his best friend's death but was powerless to stop it. Yet for all she's put him through, Celeste has also been his obsession for years. To ensure she will wreak no more havoc in his world, Jarred plans to give Celeste to his friend De'Lar as a new sexsub. But first, Jarred is going to torture her slowly, exquisitely, on his specially made pleasure rack. He was going to rid himself of his fixation once and for all. Once she realizes that everything she's written has truly come to pass, Celeste expects Jarred to kill her. Instead, she's tortured with pleasure and Celeste slowly realizes a truth she's hidden for a long time. She's never been able to have a real relationship because a part of her has always been in love with her hero, Jarred. Now he's real, but her days with him are numbered unless he can forgive her and she can convince him they belong together.
CAPTIVE DREAMS will have you asking yourself that eternal question "What if?" and the result is raunchy and a lot of fun. Corrine and Celeste are two unusually fabulous heroines who, after learning to believe in the impossible, immerse themselves in their new worlds and find a way to adapt and relish their new roles. Mykhayl and Jarred evolve from men bent on vengeance to heroes worthy of their unusual heroines. Erotically charged, lushly romantic, and yes, slightly kinky, this delicious anthology was a wonderful read. It is now one of my "go to" books, when I want a funny, romantic, hot read.
