I STILL REMEMBER
Successful news anchor Elise returns to her hometown after running away from a love she couldn’t understand nor act upon twenty years ago. When she bumps into her old best friend Amy, the one she had to get away from, all that was left unspoken bubbles to the surface and they revisit the past in more ways than one.

A HIGHER EDUCATION
At an economics conference Gail Garvey ends up sharing a room with a teacher she had a crush on twenty years ago. They’re both professors now, and Gail’s crush has long faded, but finding herself in the same room as Professor Joanne Ferguson two nights in a row proves to be more challenging than Gail would like to believe.

A HARD DAY’S WORK
Jo fancies her straight, married boss Amanda. She’s convinced her crush is a hopeless one, until a performance review changes everything.

YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY
Rose’s husband died seven years ago, but when she welcomes an unexpected guest in her Tuscan holiday home, she’s forced to remember what instant desire feels like. Desire for a younger woman no less.

LEARNING CURVE
Ada’s company relocated her to Berlin, provided that she’d take an intensive course in German. It proves to be a steep learning curve, until her teacher Giselle implements some alternative educational methods.

THE HONEYMOON
A sizzling novelette featuring a couple of newlyweds honeymooning in Phuket. When they encounter a mysterious Asian woman in their beach side resort, they decide to give each other a very special wedding gift.

PIANO LESSONS
Ruby is finding it hard to get over the break up with her girlfriend, but her piano teacher Jill is not having any of it. After Ruby’s lack of focus makes for another dismal lesson, Jill invites her reluctant student into the home she shares with her partner Charlotte for an afternoon of extreme relaxation, and getting over her ex.

REVIEW:     

These stories are all told in first person and from one point-of-view. They are all also extremely erotic.

I STILL REMEMBER – LoveBytes_4.5Hearts

A wonderful story of love lost and found again. Just the right amount of backstory was given to allow me to connect with these two ladies. The massage scene was scorching hot, it had my blood pumping, and girlie bits tingling!

A HIGHER EDUCATION LoveBytes_4.5Hearts

Imagine having a crush on your teacher then twenty years later, while attending a conference, you find yourself sharing a room with her due to a series of events out of your control. That is exactly the situation Gail finds herself in with her former crush, Professor Joanne.  I have one word to sum up this story – Brilliant.

A HARD DAY’S WORK – LoveBytes_4Hearts

Hot damn, I’ll never think of a performance review in the same way again. Wipes brow.

YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY – LoveBytes_4Hearts

I’m a sucker for a story featuring an older woman/younger woman. However, initially I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy it due to how the two knew each other. But the power dynamics the author spun on it made this another sexy story.

LEARNING CURVE – LoveBytes_3.5Hearts

A thirty-year-old woman with a crush on her German tutor makes for another delicious story. I liked both of these ladies and the Berlin setting.

THE HONEYMOON LoveBytes_3.5Hearts

Once I got over the fact the leading ladies were on their honeymoon and my preconceived ideas of how that should be spent, two people celebrating their love, alone – this was one hell of a hot ménage story.

PIANO LESSONS – LoveBytes_4.5Hearts

While this story was short, it lacked nothing. The story sucked me in right from the start. I liked the older women, younger girl scenario. If this is the best way to limber up your fingers for piano lessons sign me up!
