I don’t read a lot of anthologies for some reason, and when I pick up books like this I always think “Why the heck don’t I read more anthologies?”

This is a series of some very sexy stories that revolve around the Sin Circus. Here’s a breakdown of the stories you will find in this anthology:

Ring of Fire by Lacey Wolfe – A story about a ringmaster who gives his heart to a fire dancer. Can he lead the circus and love?  Wowza, it was hot. I was a bit confused as to why Ramone felt such a great need to prove himself.

Greatest of Ease by Anne Lange – Nicco walked away from the circus and his first love to have a career in law.  Yet now that his brother is injured he is called to be his replacement for the trapeze. He is reunited with Lucia and discovers that his feelings are still strong as ever.  Can he walk away a second time? This was a M/F/M story (squee!!!) that was awesome.  Nicco is smoking hot.  My only complaint is that I wish it’d been a M/F/M story the whole way through…the end made me a bit sad.

Dark Surrender by Rachel Firasek – Ivy is the dark Mistress of the Sin Circus. She lets a bump in the road cause frustration that she takes out on her loyal submissive that has her questioning her ability to be a proper mistress. This is obviously a D/s story, but what is really great about it is that it’s not so much about the whole BDSM thing as it is about the emotions of the characters.  It was a really deep story that I enjoyed very much.

 Twice the Pleasure by Georgina DeBurca –Two brothers must save the woman they have both come to care a great deal for after she experiences two very emotionally crushing events.   This was a strange one for me.  I enjoy M/F/M as much as the next person, but I’m always a bit uncomfortable when the bread of the ménage sandwich are brothers.  Kind of a high ick factor for me there, but a good story nonetheless.

Claimed by the Blade by Mina Carter – Dani is the knife thrower.  After her ex leaves their act in shambles, Dani is so busy saving it that she doesn’t notice the sexy beast that her protégé has turned into.  But Dani is a lot older, can they transition to a romantic relationship that they both want or will the age difference be too much? I loved this story.  Seriously, as an older woman I can appreciate a good story about a May/December relationship where the woman is older than the man.   Probably my fave story of the anthology.

The Bratty Lioness Tamer by Milly Taiden – Gabby and Crystal are the human lionesses of the Sin Circus.  They feel something is missing from what they have together, and that something is a proper master.  Will a blast from the past be what they are missing? A great ménage story with a lot of passion and history.  Loved it.

 
Sweet and Sticky by Sabrina Garie –A concession girl who is a struggling author and a literary agent have a hot encounter in the bleachers.  Wowza..one of the sexiest stories of the anthology.  I liked that it was about members of the audience rather than the performers.  And the sex was friggin’ HOT.

Unmasking Her Dom by Jennifer James – The King Harlequin is a powerful Dom in the Sin Circus who’s hiding some awful secrets. He’s afraid of revealing too much to his submissive, but she’s not going to let him let her go, so she stands up for what she wants and takes their relationship to the next level.  Obviously, this a D/s story, but it has a twist.  As the submissive is willing to fight for her Dom when he needs her most.  One of the longer stories in the book, but a great read.

 If you ask me, the circus is the perfect place for mystery and sex.  I can’t remember the last time I read stories that just oozed sex.  They were steamy and the mood of all of them was original and mysterious.  I really liked all of the stories in this anthology.  4.5 stars.
