Overview
Desire, Danger, Damsels and DragonsIn Thrones of Desire, erotic story-spinner Mitzi Szereto has created a timeless place where lust and legend abound, where adventure, passion and danger entwine. Romantic chivalry is alive and well in these mythical kingdoms, but so are secrets and hidden yearnings as the battle for flesh rivals the battle for power. In editor Mitzi Szereto's own words, "You'll find it all right here: corrupt kings, lusty queens, handsome princes, virginal princesses, randy knights, wicked sorcerers, kickass heroines, vengeful witches, mysterious shape-shifters...and we're definitely not short on a few dragons either!" Inspired by the television series Game of Thrones, these imaginitive, steamy tales transport the reader to romantic and dangerous realms.
Synopsis
Thrones of Desire is a place where lust and legend abound, and adventure, passion and danger entwine. Think mystical lands and creatures, kings and queens, knights and renegades, heroes and villains, warlords, maidens and princesses. Think battles and danger, honor and dishonor, good and evil. Most of all, think hearts filled with passion and secret desire. This is a place where romantic chivalry is alive and well, but so too is romantic wickedness. This is a place where the good do not always win, and the bad are often more captivating and desirable than their altruistic counterparts. In these lush and timeless landscapes, the battle for flesh can be as important as the battle for power. Intrigue, sorcery, revenge, lawlessness, dark secrets and mysterious elixirs; entanglements with supernatural beings -- everything is possible in these magical mythical landscapes. Inspired by Game of Thrones these imaginative steamy tales transport the reader to fantastical realms.Editorials
From the Publisher
"I enjoyed reading each and every story. Almost every one got my blood pumping and in a good way. So if you love dragons, wizards, warlocks, or just anything to do with magic. With some hot erotic stories around them then this is the book for you."—Romance After Dark
"It's as good as the blurb promises and just as hot as it sounds! Thrones of Desire is every fantasy geek's wet daydream!"
—For the Love of Reading
"Anytime you can throw a knight in front of a dragon for the love of a woman, you have my undivided attention!... These are fantastical stories of myths and knights, with a sexy element."
—KissinBlueKaren
"Mitzi Szereto has done a top-notch editing job as each story seamlessly flows into the other. The stories range from lonely women tending to wounded soldiers to fierce female Dragonmeisters strutting around half-naked and generally being awesome. There are elements of magic, forbidden love, bitter sexual tension, violence, death, good versus evil, myth and folklore. Something for everyone, unless you are in anyway prudish
My favorite stories in the collection were "At the Sorcerer’s Command" by Kim Knox, "In the Kingdom of Roz" by Madeline Moore and "Eyekeeper" by Aurelia T. Evans. These three were very different stories but seemed to involve the broadest range of fantasy elements. They all flawlessly determined recognizable genre, believable characters and rich plot, which is something I always find extremely admirable about short story writers. Thrones of Desire is a fantastic collection of erotic stories that carry a severe hotness warning and definitely require recuperation intervals. Digest this collection at a slow pace or you are sure to suffer a swordplay (*wink*wink*) overload!"

"It’s a book I didn’t want to put down. It’s a book that I didn’t want to take my eyes off of, and MOST important, it’s a book that, at the end of every story, I wished it would just continue on-and-on. That’s how amazing the writers are. If you like the fantasy genre and like your erotica with some heavy plots mixed in, Thrones of Desire is most-likely going to be the best erotica book you’ve ever read."
—Pop My Cherry Reviews
"It's fantasy in the epic tradition, but with lots of steam! You'll find dragons and warriors, kings and queens, heroes and villains, sorcerers and secrets—it's got it all!"
—Romance Junkies
"Allow yourself the pleasure of being one to read this new anthology of fantasy and eroticism that brings together that world with sex. Even though these stories are basically by women and for women, as a man I really enjoyed the collection as I am sure you will."
—Reviews by Amos Lassen
"Sexier than Guinevere and Sir Lancelot’s indiscretions in Arthurian mythology, hot, passionate and magical to boot."
—Killer Aphrodite
