He’s vowed no allegiance in the war between mortal and immortal, but when a beautiful maiden seeks him out and begs for his help, he’s once again powerless to say no. Soon, Prometheus is drawn into the very conflict he swore to avoid.
HARD TO SERVE: A Hard Ink Novella by Laura Kaye
When Internal Affairs investigates Detective Kyler Vance as part of the new police commissioner’s bid to oust corruption, everything is on the line. Mia Breslin’s career is golden. Now if only she could find a man to dominate her nights and set her body—and her heart—on fire. When a scorching scene with a hard-bodied, brooding Dom at Blasphemy promises just that, Mia is lured to serve Kyler again and again.
DRAGON FEVER: A Dark Kings Novella by Donna Grant
Rachel Marek intends to expose the truth about dragons to the world – and her target is within sight. Nothing matters but getting the truth, especially not the ruggedly handsome, roguishly thrilling Highlander who oozes danger and charm. Asher is more than just a man. He’s a Dragon King – a being who has roamed this planet since the beginning of time. With everything on the line, Asher must choose to trust an enemy in the form of an all too alluring woman whose tenacity and passion captivate him.
BENEATH THESE SHADOWS by Meghan March
The only permanent thing in my life is the ink I put on my clients.
I drift from city to city, in and out of beds, from one tattoo shop to the next.
Every time I start to put down roots, I rip them up.
Until New Orleans.
Until her.
She’s everything I’m not.
Full of fire and life. An innocent where I’m a sinner.
I want to consume her. Protect her. Keep her.
But first, I have to escape from beneath these shadows.
BEFORE I FALL: A Falling Novel by Jessica Scott
Beth Lamont knows too much about the harsh realities of life. She’ll do whatever it takes to take care of her father, even if that means tutoring a guy like Noah. Noah Warren doesn’t know how to be a student. All he knows is war. But he’s going to college now to fulfill a promise and he doesn’t break his promises. Except he doesn’t count on his tutor being drop dead gorgeous.
Every Dark Nights tale is breathtakingly sexy and magically romantic.

REVIEW
One of my favorite things about the 1001 Dark Nights stories is that they are quick reads but they absolutely aren't lacking. Though I can read each story in one sitting - they thoroughly grab and hold my attention sucking me deeper into the worlds created by the authors. What I like about the Bundles - finding a group of stories from authors I love mixed in with authors I've never read or new series I've not yet been introduced too.
Discovery Bundle 11 is full of a variety of different types of stories, which is always a good thing because I love to change up my reading often. From contemporary to BDSM, to Dragons and more - this bundle has a little something for everyone. From compelling plots, to fantastical settings, alluring characters and emotions galore, each of the stories in this bundle will suck you into the pages and leave you wanting more.
Easy for Keeps by Kristen Proby pulled me in from the first page, making me curious to know more about the character and how they will come together. As a single mother, Sarah, is more cautious about who she lets into her life - but she's ready to move on with her life and get back on the relationship horse so to speak. Adam's never been one to hide his conquests - not that he brags about them, but he's a flirt and happy to have a romp when he chooses. But lately he's not feeling the same way - he's wanting something different, though he couldn't say what that something is until he meets Sarah and is drawn to not only her, but her little girl. Can these two opposites find something lasting between them?
Unchained by Elisabeth Naughton was my first foray into the world of her Eternal Guardians and it left me wanting to dive into the others as soon as possible. This is the story of Prometheus and the battle waging that he wants no part of, but finds himself drawn into anyways.
Hard to Serve by Laura Kaye dives us deep into the world of BDSM with a novella that takes place in Club Blasphemy. Mia's new to town and finally using her invitation to the exclusive club Blasphemy where she hopes to find a true Dom, the one who can give her the peace she needs as a submissive, and fulfill that area of her life. She's had no luck finding someone who can handle her the way she needs, especially not when they know who she is. Kyler, a master at Blasphemy, isn't looking for anything permanent - he knows his limits but when he sees the new sub at the club - he knows its time to get back into playing. Outside of the club, he's dealing with other issues, but inside he can focus on anything else. But could there be more for these two than what they find together inside the walls of the club?
Dragon Fever by Donna Grant pulled me right into the fantasy world where Dragons exist once again. I've read a few of Donna's previous books and this one was just as appealing. In addition to the fantasy aspect this book had the undertones of enemies to lovers which always adds a thrill.
Beneath these Shadows by Meghan March takes us to New Orleans and into the "Beneath" world again. At the start of the story we find Eden who is about to embark on an adventure of sorts, a new start for her; a new start as a new person in a new place - New Orleans. Bishop isn't one for staying in one place or settling down, or at least he hasn't been until her. There's something different about this woman who draws him to her making him feel things he hasn't before; but it's not as simple as acting on these feelings.
Before I Fall by Jessica Scott was the another book that was by a new to me author. I was drawn into the story by the synopsis alone, there's just something about the allure of opposites attracting. Noah and Beth both have their own struggles, their own pasts, but when they are thrown together as tutor and student - they might just find there's something else there.
About the 1001 Dark Nights: Bundle Eleven Authors-
Kristen Proby was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.
During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.
Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.
Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.
Elisabeth Naughton is a
New York Times and
USA Today bestselling author. From Elisabeth: “I was never one of those people who knew they wanted to be an author at the age of six. I didn’t have imaginary friends. I didn’t write stories in my journal or entertain my relatives by firelight after Thanksgiving dinner. For the most part, I was just a normal, everyday kid. I liked to read, but I wasn’t exceptional at it. And when my teachers complimented me on my writing abilities, I brushed them off. I did, however, always have a penchant for the unique and absurd. And as my mother told me all throughout my childhood, I should have been an actress—I was a drama queen before my time.
“Years ago, my husband bought me Scarlett: The Sequel to Gone With The Wind. If you ever saw the book, you know it’s a long one. I sat and read that thing from cover to cover, and dreamed of one day being a writer. But I didn’t actually try my hand at writing until years later when I quit my teaching job to stay home with my kids. And my husband? After that week of reading where I neglected him and everything else until I finished Scarlett, he vowed never to buy me another book again. Little did he know I’d one day end up sitting at a keyboard all day drafting my own stories.
“My writing journey has not been easy. I didn’t just sit down one day, decide I was going to write a book and voila! sell my very first attempt. As most authors will probably agree, the path to publication is filled with hours of work, pulling all-nighters I thought I’d given up in college, sacrifices, rejections, but a love I discovered along the way I just can’t live without. Instead of a big, thick book to read by lamplight (I do read much smaller ones when I get the chance), I’ve traded in my reading obsession for a laptop. And I’ve never been happier.
“I’m one of the lucky ones. I have a wonderful family and fabulous husband who put up with my writing—and obsessive personality—even when life is chaotic. More than once my kids have been late to swimming or baseball because I needed just five more minutes to finish a scene. Their support and encouragement mean the world to me. I also have amazing friends and a support network I couldn’t survive without. So to all of you out there who have encouraged me along the way, sent me emails and fan letters, phone calls and congratulations, I just want to say, thank you. You make this whole writing gig that much more enjoyable. I truly wouldn’t be here without you.”
Laura Kaye is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of over thirty books in contemporary and erotic romance and romantic suspense, including the Blasphemy, Hard Ink, and Raven Riders series. Growing up, Laura’s large extended family believed in the supernatural, and family lore involving angels, ghosts, and evil-eye curses cemented in Laura a life-long fascination with storytelling and all things paranormal. Laura also writes historical fiction as the NYT bestselling author, Laura Kamoie. She lives in Maryland with her husband and two daughters, and appreciates her view of the Chesapeake Bay every day.
Donna Grant is the
New York Times and
USA Today bestselling author of the sizzling Dark King series featuring dragons, immortal Highlanders, and the Fae.
She was born and raised in Texas but loves to travel. Her adventures have taken her throughout the United States as well as to Jamaica, Mexico, and Scotland. Growing up on the Texas/Louisiana border, Donna’s Cajun side of the family taught her the “spicy” side of life while her Texas roots gave her two-steppin’ and bareback riding.
Despite deadlines and voracious reading, Donna still manages to keep up with her two children, four cats, and one long haired Chihuahua.
Jessica Scott is the USA Today bestselling author of novels set in the heart of America's Army. She is an active duty army officer, a veteran of the Iraq war, is the mother of two daughters, far too many animals, and wife to a retired NCO.

A USA Today bestselling author of over fifteen novels,
Meghan March has been known to wear camo face paint and tromp around in woods wearing mud-covered boots, all while sporting a perfect manicure. She’s also impulsive, easily entertained, and absolutely unapologetic about the fact that she loves to read and write smut. Her past lives include slinging auto parts, selling lingerie, making custom jewelry, and practicing corporate law. Writing books about dirty talking alpha males and the strong, sassy women who bring them to their knees is by far the most fabulous job she’s ever had.
