Ellora's Cavemen: Tales From The Temple I (2004) - Plot & Excerpts

As with most anthologies, there were some of these stories that I liked better than others, but overall I enjoyed reading all six tales.(Just a short note for each one):A.D. 2203: Adam and Eve By Ravyn Wilde (4 stars)I really enjoyed the futuristic aspect of this book. Male weres can ony detect their mate's scent during the full moon. Females that don't want to be mated lock themselves up in safe rooms during the full moon, because if a male smells his mate, he can claim her whether she likes it or not. True...it's the law! Eve was really stubborn, worried she would lose her job because of an overbearing shifter mate. Adam was so lovable, he just wanted to find his mate. Hot 'n sexy.At His Mercy By Doreen DeSalvo (5 stars - freaking hot!)Faith is a psychic, Jake is a non-believer. Boy does she teach him a thing or two about psychics and he teaches her a few things in a very sexy way. Plenty of hot scenes packed into the short story.Barbarian By Kate Douglas (3 1/2 stars)Bryony is all upset after torturing a man she believes was responsible for her sisters death. There's a definite fem-dom quality to this story, which is fine, but I had really wanted Jake to be more dominant than he actually was. And his revenge reminded me of some other electronic sexual torture that I've read before and I would have liked the story better without it.Joshua 4.0 By Sahara Kelly (5 stars - awesome!)What happens when a sexy computer savvy woman hooks up to a virtual reality program and gives it a sexy trial run? I really loved this book! I immediately went looking for more of Sahara's books, because this one was fantastic.Manimal By Lani Aames (3 stars - meh)I wanted to like this story more but it had a lot of back information shoved into a relatively small book and that just made me feel like the whole thing was rushed. Either the storyline needed to be less complicated or the book longer because the plot overshadowed the romance and that was a downer.Time-share: Amelia's Journey By Lora Leigh (5 stars - menage at it's finest)So yeah, I love Lora Leigh. I was not surprised that this book was one of my favorites of the bunch. Scientists crash land on an earth-like uninhabited planet and something turns them into horn-dogs. Amelia, Saber and Mike were great characters and the action between them was so hot. From one scene to the next I was riveted to the story. Lora writes scorching hot scenes of m/f and m/f/m menage.So I loved the book in general and will definitely be picking up the other volumes and hopefully find some new-to-me authors to check out. It's still free as of today (6/3) on Amazon, so grab it if you're into paranormal romance and variety!

This book is very hard to review. Since it's an anthology, and written by many authors, the submissions vary. Some were ho-hum, and some were err... explosive. What made me give it only a 3 star rating was the writing. I am not a writer--just a fan and avid reader. I don't know what makes writing particularly good-it should just pull me in and I forget I'm reading-almost like virtual reality experience! Some of the writing in this book reminded me of a sputtering car that just couldn't get going. If cliched expressions pop up (especially in a spicy scene) it just kills the momentum. I have read other titles from this series, and LOVE Ellora's cave, but this is not one of my recommended titles.

What do You think about Ellora's Cavemen: Tales From The Temple I (2004)?

Wow, hot and sexy. Joshua 4.0 by Sahara Kelly - A female computer geek's sexual fantasy with a Virtual Reality hunk goes from virtual to actual reality. Sexy and funny.Barbarian by Kate Douglas - Futuristic. A woman's need for revenge leads her to kidnap and torture he man she believes is responsible for her sister's death comes unraveled when she realizes she has captured the wrong man. Two years later they are both haunted by the event and their need for each other brings them back together.Manimal by Lani Aames - A woman breaks from a possessive suitor because of her secret longing for another. Her fantasy man turns out to be a werewolf. This was a simple story but the author managed to make it work. I will definitely look for other titles by this author.A.D. 2003 Adam and Eve by Ravyn Wilde - Werewolves and Vampires mix with society and laws protect them but there are factions of "One-Racers" who would see them wiped out. The law recognizes a Were's right to his fated mate even if the mate is not interested(once claimed the mate is committed). This story involves a human scientist who finds herself mated to a were. I liked the hero a lot and the heroine was ok but her sister was very annoying and unlikable. Still, good storyline. I'm going to check out the other to see if there are connected stories.At His Mercy by Doreen DeSalvo - Hot and sexy. A intuitive (psychic) woman meets with a sexy skeptical University Trustee hoping for a grant for research. Sparks are instantaneous. This was an intensely erotic story and the characters were very likable. Loved it.Time-Share: Amelia's Journey by Lora Leigh - *Contains ménage* Futuristic. Two men and a woman marooned on an alien planet become a sexual ticking time-bomb. Well done, very erotic. Menage is not my cup of tea but I don't mind as long as the HEA is between two of the characters. It's clear in this story that Amelia and Saber are emotionally connected and Mike, the third party, is involved due to the planet's atmosphere amping up the sexual desires of the three.

6 novellas in one book. And I mean there are 6 different stories to read. But, yes, they all include sex scenes. If I add my review points and divide it by 6 I get 2,5 and since you can´t give half stars I decided to give the book a three as an overall rating. 3. Joshua 4.0, written by Sahara Kelly is set in the near future. It´s a fun story about the cyber world and thing that can happen when you connect your self to a computer. 2. Barbarian written by Kate Douglas was really bad in my eyes. It started rather explicit so I braced my self for a sort of hard core story but then it plummeted and it couldn´t end to soon for me.1. Manimal written by Lani Aames. It was not good at all. A flimsy story with characters that was so uninteresting. No over to the next story.4. A.D 2203 Adam & Eve written by Ravyn Wilde I liked a lot. It was well written, exiting and fun. I liked the idea that the weres has emerged out of the closet and demand equal rights. the only set back was that the story ended to soon.3. At His Mercy written by Doreen DeSalvo. I have always been fascinated by mind reading so in was interesting to sink my teeth in this story. Nothing much happens but it was still fun and engaging. The thins we think and the things we say can differ quite a lot!2. Time-Share: Amelias Journey written by Lora Leigh got me a bit disappointed. I am such a big fan of Lora Leigh so I think I was expecting to much. I didn´t care about the characters at all. The story didn´t have any depth at all.
