Much like romance novels themselves, the dishes range from spicy to sweet. There is something for every taste and every level of culinary expertise. The cookbook includes New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Mari Carr’s “Wild Irish” Cream of Crab Soup recipe. Western GBLT author BA Tortuga contributes a dish as spicy and colorful as the straight-shooting author herself with Ranch Hands—a blend of Tabasco, salsa, onions and cumin, added to pinto beans, eggs, Canadian bacon and cheddar cheese and served in a tortilla. And for those of you who are feeling extra creative and sexy, there’s the Avocado Dip that doubles as body paint from mystery writer Marcia James.

Some recipes are simple, such as Nicole Austin’s Down Home Mac & Cheese, while some are more exotic, such as Spicy Shrimp Risotto. There are even some gluten-free selections, like the Sweet and Spicy Gluten-Free Lo Mein-ish Noodles from erotica author Sommer Marsden. And a few are perfectly timed for a Halloween, such as Tracey H. Kitt’s Gamberi del Diavolo or Shrimp of the Devil.

Best of all, they are FREE!

Night Magic by Anna Leigh Keaton

One of These Nights by Josee Renard
Being a half breed Other who turns blue when it rains isn’t easy in the wet city of Vancouver. And Mary Lou’s already complicated life becomes even more so when she runs into a kitsune half breed on the beach, a man who is, according to the rules of the half bred world, her mate. They won’t have a choice about being together if they spend more than a few minutes together and if they touch? It’s the rest of the life. Both Jake and Mary Lou realize the problems, but they can’t resist - and the few hours they force themselves to spend getting to know each other only make the combustion when they inevitably end up in each other’s arms even hotter.
