This little fantasy is a lot of fun because what woman wouldn't want a great-looking guy - who is also smart, fun, and nice - fulfill our sexual wish list, and want more in the bargain?
As for Bad Boys Ahoy!, it features three Regency-set couples. Because Day writes for both Ellora's Cave and Brava, the stories are raunchier than many of the Brava anthologies. Still, the title is no misnomer; the boys are bad, the women feisty, and the sex sizzling. The promise of pirates as suggested by the book's title may disappoint readers, and of course, the history is entirely wallpaper, but I don't imagine you're reading an erotic short story for a history lesson.
The stories don't read in chronological order, which confused me somewhat, but I referred to our review of the book to set me straight. I didn't enjoy any of the stories as much as our reviewer did, but as a whole the book earns a qualified recommendation from me. I won't say more about the stories' specifics because the back cover blurb provides that easily enough.
In looking at Sylvia Day's stories for Ellora's Cave, I don't see any others that interest me right now, and her full-length books haven't earned good grades at AAR. But between Bad Boys Ahoy! and Wish List, I'll be keeping an eye out for future releases nonetheless.

Hmmm - I have this one - as well as a number of her books. I've yet to
read any though. I should pull this one out and give it a go - since they
are shorter stories
