Risque Romance Vol. 1 comprises two paranormal romance novellas by Mandi Konesni. The first novella is Awakened; it follows Mia, who is perfectly content in her less-than-thrilling life until her best friend signs her up to be auctioned off as a date at an event and is quickly highly bid after by Erik. Erik is sinful and sensual bliss is consuming, and quickly Mia realises there might be more to life except she can’t keep Erik, even if they both desire exactly that. The second novella is Enthralled; it follows Dieri, who was cursed many centuries ago by the Romani, and he has hunted them ever since. In comes Mirela, a light in his ever-darkening existence, a little bird that he shouldn’t have, but they are drawn to each other, but the faire isn’t as quiet as it seems. Are all monsters monsters, or is that just what you’ve been told?
