Sherrilyn Kenyon is a superb writer. ENJOY !!!!!!!==================================================================================

The book of stories has many links to old friends from the dark hunter books. The bears of Sanctuary, Acheron and Simi, and Nick. Although the stories weren’t novels, they covered the material and had perfect endings. Pick up a copy, get a comfortable chair and settle in to a lovely evening.

Bathymaas & Aricles story was my favorite. What a loves story these two characters share. Also, reading Bathymass & Aricles story helps with back story for Styxx.Some of the stories had nothing to do with paranormal romance. I was surprised but not disappointed. I love a good geek romance.The book made me happy, cry & curious. Why? Curious because some of her short stories had such potential for a full novel. I hope these characters get their own book. Happy, because some characters have a happy ending. Cry, this is Sherrilyn Kenyon(queen of torture) does she make a book that you don’t shed a tear while reading.I would recommend these short stories for anyone that enjoys Sherrilyn Kenyon.Five Roses for Dark bites

This was brilliant, with each story so different yet equally enchanting. I had difficulty putting it down. Her imagination and descriptions are really so good that before I even start any of her books, I am assured of a magical experience, in an exciting, unpredictable world. She builds tension in even her short stories with a masterly touch. All these stories were magical and the book was unputdownable!!

When I ordered this, I did not know what to expect but quick romances wrapped into neat little packages of dark hunters and were hunters-pure fun.Pandora and her panther, pirates.dream hunters. If you like Sherilyn Kenyon, you will enjoy this. some of the offerings seemed incomplete like Nick's story, and some seemed like deleted exerts from other novel's like Seth's tale. I wished Fury's tale was longer, since his early life mirrored Vane's in misery and confusion which would explain how rapidly he became devoted to Vane and Fang. In her novels, Ms Kenyon's characters often endure abuse, betrayal then find love and redemption, the characters are fleshed out more, some viewers may feel less connected with the condensed version.

Usually when reading a book of short stories, you find one or more that you really don't care to read. Not so with this collection of stories. I really enjoyed all of the stories. Sherrilyn Kenyon does a masterful job integrating stories from this book into other series she has ongoing.I can happily recommend this book to all readers of paranormal, romance and just plain good short stories. KUDOS Ms. Kenyon on stories well told.

It was wonderful reading all of these little side stories that we've been given in other anthologies over the years in one book. Of course, being an avid Sherrilyn Kenyon fan, I'm not going to complain about having repeats from other anthologies I've purchased. I love how her characters seem to be perfectly suited to one another and different enough that I don't feel like I'm repeated the same story over and over again. When I want something fairly light hearted, but with serious undertones, in the paranormal romance genre, I always come to Kenyon.

Great to have all the side stories in on place.I hav emore room on the bookshelf for more Sherrilyn Kenyon. Haven't read the Dark Hunter books yet? Get to it you don't know what your missing, a great mix of action, romance and humour. First time i read Night Pleasures I almost cried with laughter.Get it while its hot the series is ending soon. You don't wanna miss out.

I loved this collection of short stories, most I had read before in other anthologies or on the site but there were a couple I hadn't read and two that were brand new! I love having them all in one book though and I believe their are still a few not included so I hope their will be another collection to group the rest of them in one volume as well!

Brilliant book

I am a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon and am pleased to have most of her novellas in one book. There were also a couple of new stories that hadn't been in print before. Loved them all ! Especially Aricles story. It connected to Cronicles of Nick and Styxx's books. This author never disappoints with her emotional rollercoaster ride stories.

Loved this book all though would like to see most of the stories made into full novels. Especially the one with Adrian and Sam.

each book is fantastic, w you don't often get in a compilation. some give you a snippet of other books in the series, while others are new.

Yet another in the series of a Dark Hunters. Must really be read as part of the series to get the full benefit and enjoyment from the book. Although didn't enjoy quite as much it was still a decent read. But, there again, I am hooked anyway and can't put these books down.

Sherrilyn Kenyon never fails to deliver. As expected, a witty, sexy and eminently readable addition to her series. If you haven't tried entering the Dark-Hunter world, don't delay any longer - it's magic!

The stories from the dark hunter series were great as you expect from sherrilyn kenyon but some of her other stories that weren't related to DH series were a bit boring.Overall this book was worth buying but dont expect to love all the stories.

Love Dark Hunter books, good to have the short stories together.

Reading book

I can never put the books down, sometimes k finish the book in one read it's that gripping and amazing.

I love this book. My only problem is their not longer enough. It leaves me wanting more. But it did answer a few questions. I hope Sherrilyn will turn some of them into full length books.

I was very disappointed in this book.Each story was so short and felt very rushedNot what I expected at allVery disappointing

i gave it a five star because sherry didn't disappoint as usual it was an amazing read and it had a little bit of everything , it was all of her series in one book .
