Summary: three ?Sexcapades? tales are all hot, exciting and fun
Review: "Going All the Way" by Carly Phillips. In Chicago, Regan no longer needs the services of Divine Events since her fiancé dumped her. As the best man at his friend's wedding, Sam is in town for the nuptials. He and Regan meet at Divine Events and both feel instant desire. They share a fantasy weekend, but also fall in love. Will they recognize their feelings in time to join the mile high club as a recurring duet?

"Illicit Dreams" by Vickie Lewis Thompson. Once again her apartment neighbor Hunter awakens her with his marathon sexual performance that leaves Lindsay desiring the same from him, but is six cups to small to compete with "Silicon Sally". When Hunter makes love to Pamela, but dreams of Lindsay he knows he needs to make Lindsay his forever, but she thinks his girlfriend dumped him and refuses to be a rebound romance.

"His Every Fantasy" by Janelle Denison. Since her boyfriend seems immune to her attempts to arouse him, Leah turns to her brother's best friend Jace for sexual mentoring. Once Jace recovers from the brazen offer, he refuses for fear of destroying friendships until Leah threatens to find some other stud. Jace has loved Leah from afar for years; she reciprocates. So once in bed together, there is no turning back.

These three "Sexcapades" tales are all hot, exciting and fun. The key is that in each case the lead couples are likable in and out of the sheets. The only drawback to this anthology is that it is too hot for July beach reading so to avoid embarrassment stick to the AC (active companion).

Summary: What A Waste....
Review: ....of paper, talent and time. I like all 3 authors but not in this. I could almost feel the pressure they were under to write the required number of words and get in the required number/style of sex scenes. Of the 3 stories, I liked the middle one the best. The last one was ridiculous. The first one had no plot at all and the other 2 were hard pressed to come up with one.

It was all to fit around the sex scenes. The sex is boring to read about. How can that be? I love a good erotic story but these definitely are not that. I think that's why the whole Blaze line leaves me cold. It's mostly sex without passion, love, caring or any other emotion a romance novel should have. Oh, the words are in there but you just don't feel them. ...

Frankly, I didn't care about any of these people. ...

Summary: Promising concept fizzles out
Review: It's difficult to be captured by stories that seem to have been rushed. The whole Sexcapades thing was a promising concept, but the stories fail to deliver the amount of romance and eroticism that said concept required. All three novellas lack story development. The characters jump into the sack before the reader gets to know them. There's no building of sexual or romantic tension. Janelle Denison is one of my favorite erotic romance writers, but His Every Fantasy is an enormous disappointment. I couldn't finish Carly Phillips's Going All the Way. The aforementioned novella had more cliches than the average romance novel. Vicki Lewis Thompson's Illicit Dreams is passable, albeit insubstantial. All in all, Invitations to Seduction is a feeble effort. I'll stick to Kensington Brava anthologies from now on.

Summary: Romantic Times Review plus some extra comments
Review: THE VLT OFFERING IN THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE- THE SUBURBAN FANTASY OF SEX IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM SIZZLES AND STILL MANAGES TO CAPTURE THE REALITY OF HAVING TO GET INTO STRANGE POSITIONS FOR WILD FUN:)
In "Illicit Dreams" by Thompson, Lindsey unwittingly eavesdrops on Hunter when his girlfriend dumps him. Offering him comfort, she is careful not to get close, believing he's on the rebound. However, Hunter knows that in Lindsey he's found his soul mate.

SAM AND REGAN'S STORY LEFT ME KIND OF FLAT- ARE THERE REALLY STILL DEBS OUT THERE? I HAD A TOUGH TIME RELATING TO THE POOR LITTLE UNFULFILLED RICH GIRL.
After being jilted, Regan has no need for Divine Events wedding planners. Yet it's there that she finds a fantasy'and a man to share it with. Prepared for a weekend affair, Sam and Regan have a fabulous fling. In "Going All the Way" by Phillips, nothing prepares them for the love that results.

THIS ONE STEAMS!HOT MECHANIC JACE SHOWS LEAH HOW TO REV UP A GUY'S ENGINE AND HER OWN....MAKEOUT SESSION IN THE BACK OF A CLASSIC CAMARO IS HOT. LEAH IS VERY SYMPATHETIC AND LIKEABLE AS IS THE GUN SHY JACE WHO IS A SENSITIVE HERO PORTRAYED NICELY.
Leah needs help discovering what sex is really about, and her almost fiancé isn't the one to illuminate her. So she asks Jace, her brother's best friend and the man she's been in love with for years. Jace has a secret too: Loving Leah would fulfill "His Every Fantasy," by Denison.

Tied together by a red leather book of sexual fantasies, these three stories are not only genuinely romantic, but scorchingly hot. An excellent way to spend those sizzling summer days.
