Do you like the idea of having a lover that is VERY unique? One that you might only encounter in your wildest dreams? If so then Dream Lover: Paranormal Tales of Erotic Romance. This collection of 17 stories was edited by Kristina Wright, who has edited other anthologies of erotica/erotic romance.

I have recently started to incorporate more erotic romance collections into my reading line up. Usually I go for “regular” erotica, but it is nice to read stories that have mostly “happily ever after” type endings. With that being said, if this isn’t your cup of tea then you might want to skip out on this anthology. Almost all of the stories leave you feeling happy about love, even love that is not always between two “average” individuals.

There is a mix among well known and less well known authors. Some that you might recognize right off the back are: Delilah Devlin, Kristina Lloyd, Saskia Walker, Sacchi Green, and also a story by the editor Kristina Wright.

I really liked the fact there were different types of characters: vampires, succubus, mermaids, fairies, ghosts and even a gargoyle. I was honestly expected more vampire and ghost stories because that is the first thing that comes to mind when I think “paranormal” but the variety was more than appreciated when reading this collection.

If you have read any of my other book reviews you will know that I always have favorites. In this anthology those were:

Dreaming by the Sea by Delilah Devlin

Living off Lovers by Kristina Lloyd

Moongirl Meets the Wolf Man by Alana Noel Voth

Succubus Comes Home by Lucy Felthouse

Lust as Old as Us by Madeline Moore

Thief of Dreams by Kristina Wright

I give this collection 4 stars because the majority of the stories were interesting and well written. Not all of them did it for me, but as with most anthologies every story is not going to be for every reader. If this collection sounds like something that you would enjoy then I suggest you pick it up, even if you are on the fence reading these different stories is a nice break from the norm.
