I reviewed Book 4 here last week and I'm back reviewing the fifth book and telling you again that you REALLY need to read these books! I absolutely cannot wait to now read more and now I have to wait. 

I said before that I loved the fact that Mike and Juliet's story is continuing and in this book it all gets complicated again. This story has continued to evolve so well and I'm glad it's the first story. Not that I don't like the others but now that the other stories are newer, this one feels like catching up with a friend. 

The next two stories continue on so well that you could forget they are new to the seasoned Romantic Tales reader. I think I am finding that the final story, Mail Order Groom is becoming my favourite. But my opinion changes so quickly!

You need these books, they are the perfect bedtime read!

I have absolutely LOVED this series and was so glad to see Episodes Four and Five drop into my email. I have said before that short stories are not really my favourite read but these have changed my opinion totally. 

I was so pleased to see Mike and Juliet's story being continued and there was definitely a big element of what will happen next? Such a tease! Thank god that I have Episode Five to read :) Thank you Riley for continuing this story!

The next story we're hundreds of years into the future and kick-ass females assasins, about time if you ask me. This was great and I'm looking forward to where this develops.

The last of the three is the sad story. I felt an automatic respect and protection for Jessica and with everything that happens to her. It can take me a whole lengthy book to feel attached to a character so props to Langston for doing it so quickly. I think I know where this one is heading and I like it :)

If you haven't read any of these books yet, hurry up - they are totally worth your time!

First of all... I absolutely love the covers of these books. You cannot look at the cover and not know what it's about and there are so many poor covers that I am glad these have brilliant covers. We all like them, admit it ;-)

Now in Episode 3, my favourite story has changed from Crave to The Genesis Project. This isn't because Crave has gone bad but because I was totally in awe of this third part of The Genesis Project. I have since re-read it twice. Crave was still brilliant and such a good but annoying cliffhanger! The Getaway was also really good and I don't know why I feel I have to say which one I have enjoyed more but it seems to become practice with an anthology type book.

Separately these books would all get 5 Loveys now. So it seems only fair that they get the final 5 Loveys score from me. Looking forward to more....

Thanks for reading!

Romantic Tales: Bedtime Stories Episode 1 by Ty Langston, Tigris Eden, Riley Ross

You can read my review of episode 1 here

Luckily I had Episode 2 downloaded and ready to read otherwise I might have been going mad to read this. I have dropped forgivings over anthologies (for now) because of this series. I straight away started reading the next episode and it didn't disappoint. The hardest part is now waiting for Episode 3!

I have no idea when Episode 3 is released and that's making me anxious!

Anyway, Episode 2 - I still really love the story 'Crave', being the first it really takes my attention and I very nearly shouted "NO" as the last page turned. The other two are great also but 'Crave' is definitely my favourite.

Also how fabulous are both the covers for this series. They tell you exactly what you're getting with these. Perfect bedtime reading ;-)

Sarah's Reviews: Romantic Tales: Bedtime Stories Episode 1 by Ty Langston, Tigris Eden, Riley Ross

Romantic Tales: Bedtime Stories has a little of everything. From your everyday Contemporary Romance (The Getaway) To your Hot and Heavy Rockers turned Werewolves (Crave) and your Sci-Fi/Paranormal with Erotic overtones…. (The Genesis Project) Each Episode will entice its readers, draw them in. A quick Bedtime story before they dream, keeping them pleasantly satisfied.
By Author Ty Langston: CRAVE
As a reporter for the Wakefield Post, Harper Erkstine has seen everything. From murders to robberies, all of her recent stories have ended with tragic consequences so great, that she began to question if she made the right career choice for herself.

While all of her friends were dating, or going to clubs, she was winning journalism awards for covering the latest drive-by shooting or a home invasion that cost someone she knew, their lives.

She loved her job, it was rewarding to be a crime solver and get to the truth of the matter. As much as she loved her job, but the hours of a Metro beat reporter began to descend her into burn out mode.

She craved balance. A break, a welcome distraction every now and then. She forgot what it was like to have fun, to take a breath, smell the roses.

Was it wrong to want a great career and to have some kind of a personal life? She couldn’t remember the last time she had a date or danced with someone from the opposite sex.
In the middle of working on a missing person’s story that has rocked her town to the core, Harper decides as a favor to her friend and colleague to do a feature on local an up and coming rock band, called ‘Crave.’

It was a break from her routine, but Harper soon discovers that this band may have ties to the missing person, not only does she question why, but she also finds there is more to this band than just their music.


By Author Riley Ross: The Getaway
The Getaway isn’t your typical romance woman meets man of her dreams, loses him and then they get their happily ever after. It’s a romance story with hints of drama and plenty of comedy. Mike and Juliet have been dating for about four months. Juliet is madly in love with him but has never shared her feelings.

Mike hasn’t said those three magical words so she doesn’t even know if they are on the same page when it comes to their relationship. Mike takes Juliet on a two week vacation, so she can escape her family drama and stresses from her job. He has romantic surprises planned and there are several unexpected surprises for them both. How well do Mike and Juliet really know each other especially when an explosive secret from his past is revealed? Will their relationship survive a visit from his family and his ex-girlfriend? Will the secret destroy them or make them stronger as a couple? His mother has made it clear to everyone that she wants Mike back with his vile ex-girlfriend?
Will his mother sabotage her son’s relationship with Juliet? Juliet does have an ally in Mike’s father. Will Juliet fight for her love? Or will she let him go without exposing his mother for her dastardly schemes? How far will his mom go to ensure she gets what she wants for her son?

By Author Tigris Eden: The Genesis Project
Old earth has been deemed unsuitable for life, New Earth is home. With the Uni-War over, races have joined together in order to sustain their way of life. All life was deemed worth saving, but only one race failed to submit. Humans.

Now extinct, humans are a thing of the past, or at least their way of life. The people of New Earth won’t acknowledge their hand in the human’s eradication, but they have benefited from it. Dr. Vaggo Blackmore has found the answer, he’s restored his races way of life- sustenance through farming. The one thing that will give them back their long lives….. Blood: human blood.
Biologically engineered in a lab, Genesis Blackmore has always been different. Her father has told her it’s due to her enhancements, the Federated Council sees her as a genetic mutation; and her fellow peers see her as the shiny new toy. Gen has had better days.

Everyone on New Earth has milky white skin, platinum blonde hair, and electric blue eyes. It’s the norm. Genesis’ glossy, black hair, ice blue eyes ringed by gold, would have almost made her socially acceptable- if it wasn’t for her honey, almond skin and blue, gold veins. In a sea of milky white she alone is the dark anomaly.

All Pars get their life’s nourishment through blood plasma. All Pars find their match through the tasting. Gen can do neither, forbidden by her father to do so. She can neither taste, nor be tasted. Something that’s never bothered her until now.

I have said many a time how anthologies are really hard to get into and I wasn't sure how I would take to these three short stories that would then continue in another book. The cover of this one did entice me though, it tells you all you need to know really about the book. This is definitely not for a young audience and the fact it's called bedtime reading also made me want to add lots of wink faces to this review but I'll only add one ;-)

I found all three stories to be gripping and frustrating... I hate cliffhangers but was relieved that I have Book 2 so I can find out what happens next asap! I was most drawn to 'Crave' as I love music and the band seemed like someone I'd want to see. As anthologies go this is a must have and it is perfect for bedtime reading. With Book 2 now out at least you won't have to wait to read it!
