“If you like a fun, short, easy hot romance then pick–up Ride of Her Life by Anne Rainey and Feel the vibrations.” –4 Delightful Divas from Deb, Dark Diva Reviews
“Ride of Her Life is a wonderfully erotic, younger-man-older-woman read. While Kyle may be a decade younger than Lily, it’s easy to see that he’s a mature, older soul. And thoroughly mouthwatering. Ride of Her Life is the perfect short story for those who want to read a great erotic romance without a lot of time to do so.”– 5 angels from Bella, Fallen Angel Reviews
“Sweet, spicy and unbelievably sexy are the first words that come to mind after reading this book…the plot was entertaining, the characters very well developed and the sex scenes were remarkable. If you are looking for a story that is easy to read and that you won’t want to put down til the end give this book a try.” –4.5 hearts from Jacquelyn R. Ward, The Romance Studio
“If you want a book that sizzles and makes you think, then you need to read What She Wants. It’s sure to make your keeper shelf, because it’s on mine. I give it 4.5 cherries.” – 4.5 cherries from Tiger Lily, Whipped Cream Reviews
“Believe me, this is one quickie read you will want to get your hands on! Is Summer just a tasty little treat for Gage or will he stick around for more than a season? Or will Summer get What She Wants!” – 5 Ravens and a Recommended Read from Cecile Smutty Hussy, Black Raven Reviews
What She Wants
“Anne Rainey made my pulse pound. From the first story I was mesmerized. Positively mouth watering, heart palpitations’ had me looking for a cool drink of water.”– 5 lips from Sin at Two Lips Reviews
“If you like hot passionate stories that make your toes curl, then pick up Body Rush by Anne Rainey; you will not be disappointed. The rush is amazing but the connection you feel with all the characters is what will have you putting this on your Keeper list.” — 5 divas and a recommended read from Deb at Dark Diva Reviews
“These three hot contemporary tales from three writers don’t disappoint. Each provides a titillating read and a satisfying ending. They’re all different, but they all provide a good plot with developing relationships and attractive characters. The steamy situations include menage à trois, anal sex, voyeurism, dom/sub situations and toys.” —Gail Pruszkowski, 4 stars from Romantic Times Magazine
“The final story is my personal favorite – Cherry on Top, by Anne Rainey. I’ll admit Rainey is one of my can’t-miss authors. This story is one of her best. If you want slow seduction with a heavy dose of eroticism, then Cherry and Dante are the ones for you.”–Tiger Lily, 5 cherries from Whipped Cream Reviews
“Reckless Exposure is one of those stories that makes the reader keep checking the page count to see how much story is left – because you don’t want it to end!” –Valerie Mann, Night Owl Reviews — Reviewer Top Pick
“As much as I loved Trey and Lucy, Rand was my pick of this trio. His past is typical of a bad boy, but he has prevailed over his past and become a successful, kind, and caring man. He is still holding onto just a little bit too much of his past, and I felt for him during his struggle to let go of the pain so that he could hold onto Lucy. He was as awe aspiring with his emotions as he was with his possessive, hot, alpha attitude.” – Melissa, Dark Diva Reviews — 4.5 divas
“Anne Rainey is a talented writer and Tempting Grace is a good example of her ability to make her imagination come to life for the rest of us.

He loves Chloe and will do every thing to save their marriage. While he is a very alpha type male, he is also very vulnerable and it makes him more real.” –Laura J, grade A from Good, Bad and Unread

The writing style flows well, hooking the reader from page one until the very end.”–Tiger Lily, 5 cherries from Whipped Cream Reviews
