FALLING HARD is a powerful, erotic collection of short tales from the talented Shelly Bell, M.K. Schiller, Aliza Mann, Sage Spelling and Heather Novak. Each story is based in the small community of Hayvenwood University where magic, mayhem and uncontrollable passion flares to life. There are five stories in total, and they are effortlessly interlinked with many characters making an appearance in each tale. Add a little magic for true love and the adventure begins.

In FORBIDDEN: FRESHMAN YEAR by Shelly Bell, we meet Isabella on the eve of leaving home for University. Having suffered severe abuse by her ex, Isabella wants to reclaim her life and decides to attend her first BDSM party. But she never expected to meet Tristan, a Dom who makes her heart want more. After one unforgettable night, Isabella leaves as neither of them are capable of a relationship. But what should a girl do when her new college professor is none other than the man she craves? And when a nightmare from the past resurfaces, will Tristan and Isabella stand together to fight for each other?

TIN MAN'S DANCE by M.K. Schiller is one of my favourite tales. We meet Hutch, aged 24, an injured Marine who is attending University, and hoping to figure out what he wants from life. Scarred both inside and out, Hutch isn't looking for love, but when he sets eyes on dancer Lilly Franklin, she is everything he ever wanted. Hatching a plan to meet this dancer of his dreams, neither Hutch or Lilly are prepared for their explosive chemistry, or how good they are together. But when Lilly gets a chance of a lifetime, will she leave Hutch behind her?

In DARK HEARTS by Aliza Mann we get to know Mitch Rowland, a werewolf who is struggling with controlling his inner beast, and Aurora Tanner, a half demon who is also fighting with her inner self while trying to avoid her father who wants her dead. Add them together and this magical story ticks the box in all of the right places.

Another favourite of mine is HIGH STAKES by Sage Spelling. Cat Vega is a student working in the library, who has always hidden herself away from the world because of her epilepsy. But when she is paired with Blake Holland, the wealthy, sexy jock on campus, her whole world will change. Blake has taken a bet that he can get Cat into bed, but the more he gets to know her, the more he knows that he cannot live without her. But as secrets emerge, can Cat and Blake trust each other enough to make it work?

HUNTING WITCH HAZEL by Heather Novak is the final instalment in this collection. Hazel Evanora will do anything to protect those she loves, even if that means avoiding them. As a witch, Hazel is carrying a heavy burden trying to pay off her mother's black magic debts before they kill someone else, trying to keep her twin sisters spirit alive, helping her friends, working, studying and avoiding Grayson, the sexiest man alive. But Grayson is not your average guy. A retired witch hunter, he needs to steal Hazel's power so that he can save his younger brother. But how can he hurt Hazel when all he wants to do is protect her and give her everything he has to offer?

FALLING HARD by Shelly Bell, M.K. Schiller, Aliza Mann, Sage Spelling and Heather Novak is a sensual, steamy, erotic collection that will leave you hot under the collar. But alongside the erotic component of these stories, you will also find wonderful characters that draw you in and make you a part of their world, and I completely fell in love with the community of Hayvenwood University.
