Melanie has been without sex for almost two years. She has all she can handle, just having very noisy, vigorous neighbors who go at it constantly. One day she goes into work to find she and the supervisor are the only ones there. If only she would have put a dollar in the weekly lottery numbers, like her fellow workers, she too could be off spending her millions like they were now. Could her life get any worse?

Melanie and her friend, Dawn, are commiserating each other on how their lives basically suck and decided to live life to its fullest. Dawn fixes Melanie up with numerous dates that turn out to be losers. Melanie has had enough, until she gets a phone call from her aunt's lawyers advising her of her aunt's untimely death. They fly her in for the off-beat funeral and shortly thereafter, Melanie, one of only two of Penelope's living relatives, finds out her wacky but loveable aunt has left her thousands of dollars plus her mansion and all of her possessions.

Melanie soon quits her job and moves into the house her aunt has left her. She is left stunned. She now has a butler, a cook, maids, more rooms than she knows what to do with... and a harem of eight guys who are there for her personal pleasure. A harem? What is on earth is she going to do with a harem of eight sexy studs? She couldn't take up with them where her aunt has left off... or could she?

Oh my God! Chris Tanglen has gone over the top (I didn't know that was even possible) in Aunt Penelope's Harem. Chris Tanglen is an amazing author and all his stories are great, but Aunt Penelope's Harem has got to be the very best one yet. He has put the right mixture of humor, romance and very hot sex all into this one great story. If I wasn't laughing while devouring this story, I was fanning myself and eating ice cubes to cool myself down. The heroine is someone we all can relate to, and the guys.... *whew* boy these guys where hot... very hot and sinfully sexy and came in all shapes and sizes. *weg* They knew how to treat a woman right.... boy did they. *lol*

Major congratulations to Chris Tanglen on yet another great story (my favorite of all so far). For those who like to read a great humorous story filled with moresexmoresexmoresex, please read Aunt Penelope's Harem as soon as you can. You definitely will not regret it.

Luck of the Irish anthology consists of three stories written by three of the top new authors from Ellora's Cave Publishing.

Three men are over in Ireland for the wedding of an ex-girlfriend. The food and drinks are flowing heavily and the guys find themselves all sitting at the same table. The talk moves to how they each know the bride and one man lets it slip that she had been his nanny. To divert the guys' attention away from this slip, he suggests they all go outside to hunt down their own leprechaun and get his pot-of-gold. But what happens when a business tycoon, a drunk computer nerd and a staid lawyer find and catch the legendary little green man and are granted their hearts' desire?

Greg was a respected prosecuting Attorney with high hopes in the political field. A well respected man who never got into trouble or caused any scandal, until he woke up one morning to his ideal "perfect woman". Then everything started to go downhill.

Vivian told Greg she was sent there because he asked for his heart's greatest desire from a leprechaun he and his friends had caught in Ireland. Greg thought this was the greatest thing: his ideal woman was willing to have sex all he wanted, whenever he wanted. The one stipulation being, she would give him all the sex he wanted as long as it was in public.

Greg couldn't believe this was happening to him. How could his heart's greatest desire be to have sex in public places? Him, a well-respected attorney? He tried to turn down the wish he made with the leprechaun, but sexy Vivian would have none of it. She was there to make sure he got his heart's greatest desire and that was all there was to it. How could Greg refuse such determination?

In The Public Eye, Chris Tanglen takes us on a hilarious ride throughout the whole story. Libraries, Movies theaters, hotel broom closets, you name it, they did it there. This story had me laughing and rooting for the hero when I least expected it. You couldn't help BUT love the handsome Greg, who even despite his best intentions and great arguments with himself, couldn't say no to the enticing Vivian. Even when his great future was at stake.

While I was reading The Public Eye though, I was thinking "Just how is this author going to input the great romance that all of us look for in a story?". Chris Tanglen did it so well that I could have never have seen it coming from the start. You were guessing throughout the whole story. This was a great story that I highly recommend. And bubble wrap?? Thanks to Chris, I will never be able to look at it so innocently again. Thanks Chris. *BG*

Luck of the Irish is an anthology filled with great stories and written by wonderful authors. Jennifer Dunne, Kate Douglas and Chris Tanglen are three authors who will now be an automatic buy for me.
