Book Review: Seducing the Myth

****

Anthologies are great when they contain a collection of sizzling reads. In ‘Seducing the Myth, Myths and Legends With an Erotic Twist,’ Editor Lucy Felthouse delivers a treasury of steamy and romantic tales. Felthouse includes some incredible up-and-coming writers who share their passions with readers with higher standards craving truly emotional stories. These shorties blend the intrigue of mythology with modern sensibility and a street-smarts approach to lessons in love.

From the sexually seductive, romp of ‘The Weary Traveller’ to the intricately bound lovers ‘In the Springtime’ these stories feature strong characters who deliver quite a punch in just a few pages. The authors chosen by Felthouse (she includes her own work as well) beautifully reflect the challenge of compiling an anthology with skilled writers. Felthouse has assembled some of the most talented writers with a gift for combining superb writing and solid story-telling abilities that make this collection one that sets the standards ever higher.
