I had planned on doing this review a days ago. It is all Tracy Jane Jackson's fault. I hand planned on just skimming Bound by Fire because I have read the series twice. I got sucked in as usual. I ended up reading them all again (good thing I am a quick reader). If you had to buy this anthology for just reason this would be it. Bound by fire has everything--gorgeous alpha male, unique paranormal romance, suspense, challenges, deep friendship. If you need another reason just think Wicked after Dark has approximately 45 hours of reading time for only 99 pennies, and 100 percent of the proceeds from the box set benefit the Epilepsy Foundation. It is a win-win. Don't get me wrong, the anthology is loaded with great stories. Julia Mills Her Dragon to Slay is a goo intro to her dragon shifter series. Mina Carter's Reaper and the cop left me knowing I would be buying more of her books. Melanie James doesn't disappoint either. And to think this is only a few of the awesome authors that were kind enough, generous enough to donate their talent to a worth cause. Wicked After Dark is a fantastic way to find new to you authors. one click and enjoy.

Her Dragon to Slay by Julia Mills
Kyndel Masterson is a strong willed, independent, and no nonsense type female. Left to walk home from work because she lent her friend, who can be a bit absorbed at work, her car. This is a big thing for her as she’s afraid of the dark. She hears a thud and doesn't know whether to assist or keep walking and phone for help. She decides to keep walking and next thing she knows she’s tripping and braces for the impact but then feels someone holding her around her waist, then falling again and lands on top of a hot man, who is now out cold.
Rayne MacLendon is the Dragon Guard Commander of the Golden Fire Clan. His dragon has been telling him to find his mate, and when he caught her scent and saw someone waiting to attack her, he quickly dives from the sky and snaps the would be attackers neck. Struck by a silver headed arrow of some Hunters, Rayne fought to keep the attention from his mate and keep her safe. Kyndel decides to take Rayne home and care for him.
There follows a fabulously original shifter story and the introduction of Raynes fellow guards, all hotties of the highest magnitude!!! I loved Kyndel internal discussions with herself, they made me laugh out loud. Rayne is your typical alpha man but with a soft and caring side that he definitely doesn't want his clan-mates to find out about. The way he kicks himself when he forgets to feed Kyndel is soooo sweet!!!
The Witch The Wolf and the Vampire by AK Michaels
Peri has been on the run since she was a teenager, hiding from some very powerful and bloodthirsty magic users. She stays under the radar and works for cash, doing difficult bounty jobs in the supernatural world.
In the midst of a bounty, she is surrounded by nasties and fears the worst when help comes in a very yummy package. Gabe and Josef come to her aid and when she collapses, take her to their home and care for her. Peri trusts them quickly, which is unheard of for her. She knows they are special, Josef being a Vampire, with extra, and Gabe a Wolf, but she feels drawn to them both in ways that she can't describe.
When Josef finds out that there is a bounty out on Peri's head by her family, he knows that he and Gabe will protect her at all costs. She is their Mate!! But Will Peri stay? Will she accept that she has not one but two mates?
I loved the characters and the story! Josef and Gabe were such great characters and so opposite of each other, each bringing some other quality to the trio which the other does not. But both still very Alpha. Lump in my throat when a cameo character died and I really wanted him to become part of the bigger family of Peri!!!
The others will be updated as i get thru them!!
