“Ellora’s Cavemen: Jewels of the Nile, Volume 1,” takes you into the erotic worlds of six women.  In the first story, “Earthly Pleasure,” written by B.J. McCall, a healer discovers that she has been matched to mate with a sensual warrior.  In “Erotic Sacrifice,” written by Cynthia Rayne, a woman is volunteered to participate in the Carnal Sacrifice ritual with the Dark Lord who is the demon leader.  During her erotic encounter, she discovers that other sexy demons will play a role in her sacrifice.  “Hot Under the Collar,” by Katie Blu, offers a humorous change of pace when a woman finds herself lusting after her minister.  Her guilt is diminished when she discovers that he is at the church to do some undercover work.

In Kate Hill’s “Incensed,” a skeptic challenges a mystical matchmaker to help her find her true love.  She is in for a surprise when she discovers that it is him.  Delilah Devlin gives new meaning to the term “Merry Widow” when she has a widow named Merry inherit a saloon with working women from her aunt in “Making the Madame.”  Being inexperienced in owning both a saloon and operating a whorehouse, Merry has to hire an experienced man to show her the ropes.  “The Emissary,” is the final tale in this awesome collection.  The author Jenna Reynolds takes you into the world of an apprentice courtesan just as she is about to have her virginity claimed by a curious alien.  Talk about out-of-this-world sex!

“Ellora’s Cavemen: Jewels of the Nile, Volume 1,” offers some of the best short stories that I have ever read.  Having already enjoyed works by some of these authors, I knew I was in for a treat; however, they were all excellent.  I am happy to have discovered some more excellent writers.  These stories are so sensual and erotic; they should definitely be read privately and not left out for public access!
