I was introduced to Wendy\u2019s work through Stealing Time — the first book in the Servants\u00a0of Fate series about one of Father Time\u2019s sons who falls in love with a human. Wendy\u2019s stories in the Enchanted series have a lot in common with those in the Servants of Fate series. First of all, they are sweet. In romance and erotica \u2018sweet\u2019 can simply mean there is no explicit sex scenes, and Wendy\u2019s Enchanted stories are sweet in that way, but they are sweet in another way as well. They have a sort of innocence to them, to the plots and especially to the characters. Each of them is sort of clueless in their own adorably sweet way. That, coupled with her awesome dialogue skills, is what draws me into her stories again and again and again.<\/p>\n

Em\u2019s Stories<\/strong><\/p>\n Em\u2019s stories were the biggest challenge in this series, but the bigger the\u00a0challenge the bigger the reward, right? These stories are about relationships, not just romantic relationships but familial ones and friendships as well. Like most\u00a0relationships they have aspects of light\u00a0and darkness, surface-level attachments and hidden depths, and like\u00a0 <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sara\u2019s Story<\/strong> Sara is a bit of a badass and a rebel (and I mean that in the best possible way), as evidenced by the fact that subheading says \u2018Sara\u2019s Story\u2019 not \u2018Sara\u2019s Stories\u2019. Sara was supposed to send me three connected novellas but instead she sent me three novella length sections of a single longer story but, remarkably, each of those sections contains its own arc. Sara\u2019s story is gritty, but with hints of sweetness that keep it from becoming too heavy. It\u2019s about true love and destiny, family and magic. It\u2019s got loads of twists and turns and though you might see some of them coming, I bet you won\u2019t see them all. And the powerful conclusion will blow you away.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”HR 30%” _builder_version=”3.0.73″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” saved_tabs=”all” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” global_module=”3593″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the past, she has used various pen names to provide top notch erotic story content to some of the biggest names in the adult entertainment industry, written well-reviewed erotic novels, worked as an editor for a romance small press and even, once upon a time, was a cover model.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”HR 30%” _builder_version=”3.0.73″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” saved_tabs=”all” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” global_module=”3593″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Magic Flame Cover” _builder_version=”3.0.101″ saved_tabs=”all” src=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Enchanted3b200x300.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” align=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” url=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/books\/enchanted\/3-magic-flame\/” global_module=”5361″ \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Magic Flame Buy Links” _builder_version=”3.0.98″ background_layout=”light” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”5362″]<\/p>\n Available April 3rd<\/strong><\/p>\n Pre-order now!<\/p>\n Amazon (US<\/a>) (CA<\/a>) (UK<\/a>)<\/p>\n Or go here now<\/a> to read more<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_image admin_label=”Magic Spark Cover” _builder_version=”3.0.92″ saved_tabs=”all” src=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/EnchantedCover200x300.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”off” url=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/books\/enchanted\/1-magic-spark\/” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” sticky=”off” align=”center” always_center_on_mobile=”on” border_style=”solid” force_fullwidth=”off” show_bottom_space=”on” global_module=”4781″ \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Magic Spark Buy Links” _builder_version=”3.0.92″ module_alignment=”left” saved_tabs=”all” show_bottom_space=”on” background_layout=”light” global_module=”4782″]<\/p>\n Available Now<\/strong><\/p>\n Amazon (US<\/a>) (CA<\/a>) (UK<\/a>)<\/p>\n Read for free on Kindle Unlimited<\/p>\n Or go here now<\/a> to read more<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.0.105″ background_layout=”light”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image admin_label=”Magic Ember Cover” src=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Enchanted200x300.png” url=”http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/books\/enchanted\/2-magic-ember\/” align=”center” _builder_version=”3.0.101″ show_bottom_space=”on” show_in_lightbox=”off” url_new_window=”off” use_overlay=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on” force_fullwidth=”off” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”5077″ \/][et_pb_text admin_label=”Magic Ember Buy Links” _builder_version=”3.0.101″ module_alignment=”left” show_bottom_space=”on” background_layout=”light” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”5078″]<\/p>\n Available Now<\/strong><\/p>\n Amazon (US<\/a>) (CA<\/a>) (UK<\/a>)<\/p>\n Read for free on Kindle Unlimited<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/friends-1390679_1280.jpg\")
everywhere, not all the people in them are nice. Or likable. Or someone you\u2019d\u00a0want to hang out with. More than once while I was editing these stories I\u2019d have to email Em and say, \u201cUh, can we dial back the darkness just a wee bit?\u201d (which, if you know me should tell you something). I think it says a lot for her storytelling skills that she managed to address the issues I brought up in my emails while staying absolutely true to the stories she wanted to tell. The complexities and moral ambiguity in these stories will stay with you a long time after you\u2019re done reading.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.penandkinkpub.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/DDL-Promo.jpg\")
