Laura Reynolds, the owner and CEO of I Scream, has the opinion that ice cream is better than sex. The ice cream she manufactures definitely is. After all, it has the right chemicals in it to stimulate an orgasm. She knows her ice cream is popular as people keep coming back for more even though it is expensive. If only she can get her hands on Ryan's new no-calorie, no-fat, no-side effects sugar substitute, she can make I Scream an international success. But her libido and her heart seem to have different ideas where Ryan is concerned. Laura had a crush on him in high school and looks like she is no better now. Can she look forward to real orgasms and real love from Ryan?

Ryan LeJeune is in big trouble. Though he knew his sugar substitute was a sure-success, he had sold his share of the factory to his younger brother, Blake, a couple of years ago. Now Blake has run off with his girlfriend and huge amounts of money from the factory, leaving Ryan in a fix. Ryan has no choice but to get the factory back on its feet as soon as possible. What better way than to climb Laura's bandwagon of orgasm-inducing ice cream? The problem is that Ryan starts having difficulty to keep his hands off the vulnerable Laura. Is there a way of saving his factory and his heart?

Better Than Ice Cream can have you panting! You will definitely never think of ice cream in a normal way again. Alicia Sparks writes a story that sparkles of lust, vulnerability, love, ice cream, ice cream and more ice cream! Ryan is a dynamic man whose overbearing attitude gets exactly the right reaction from the readers, where as Laura is an absolutely delightful lady who can arouse sympathy as well as admiration in the readers. The sex scenes with ice cream or otherwise, are totally blistering, provocative and inflaming! The chemistry between the main characters is, in one word, wow! If you are a person who enjoys it when it gets extremely steamy, then this book is perfect for you.

Better Than Ice Cream novel is better than eating ice cream *winks*.

Six of today's great authors come together in one book to tantalize romance readers with tales of wonderful romance and erotic, heartwarming love.

Eleanora was a virgin who was to be sacrificed by her village to appease the thirst of dragons that combed the land. Eleanora was determined not to be a victim like her sisters before her. She was determined not to cower and face the destiny that fate had decreed for her. Then he came, the dragon that she was meant to be sacrificed to. Before she could use the magic she learned to escape the bonds holding her another dragon came. The two dragons began to fight over her. In the mist of the fight Eleanora lost consciousness and when she woke she found a beautiful man laying next to her unconscious and with a raging fever. This man must have saved her from the two dragons. She was bound and determined to return the favor and help this man back to good health. But Eleanora was in for a shock. This wasn't an ordinary man but a dragon who thought she was sent there by his brother to spy and betray him. Will Eleanora be able to over come the odds that were stacked against her?

Dragon's Law: Mace is a heart warming romance written by author Alicia Sparks. While the heroine is a bit naive, she is a strong and determined woman with a big heart. The hero is a tormented man who finds that with the right woman his cold heart can be thawed. And that just maybe he can achieve a happily-ever-after for himself. This was a wonderfully written tale that tugs on the reader's heart strings.
