My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an absolutely must read collection for any PNR fan! As I’ve come to expect from anything I have ready by this author, these stories are so unique and well written, you definitely won’t want to put this book down! D.P. Payne makes you want to believe in the supernatural!

Parched is the story about a man who was so greedy, he was cursed to be a wendigo for all eternity and hunt down other greedy souls and feed from them as punishment for his evil ways. When he comes across a completely black aura, what could it possibly mean? Who could this woman be? What could she be so greedy for that her aura would be this dark? Prepare yourself for a hot and steamy, panty melting story as you find out these answers!

Cursed is the story of an Egyptian pharaoh and a modern day archeologist who have three days to break a 4000 year old curse. This kind of makes me want to change professions! How else am I ever going to meet a man like Wyre???

Spirited is probably my favorite out of the four stories in this book! It’s pretty much my lifelong dream to by old plantation homes and restore them to their former glory! And throw in a few ghosts and a super hot love story??? Yep, dream come true! Margot and Blake stole my heart in this one!

Loched is definitely the coolest of all! The mystery of the Loch ness monster has been solved! At least I’d like to think so after reading this one!

Each of these stories is unique and different. You get a bit of heat, a bit of romance, and a whole realm of emotions as you read through them! I fell in love with all of these characters and highly recommend this collection!

By Gwyn McNamee/ D.P. Payne
5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely loved reading this group of stories. There are supernatural creatures, mystery, and romance. The book has steamy moments that will make the temperature in the room rise. These stories pulled me in and had me turning pages to find out what happened next. I enjoyed reading about the characters that are introduced. Their personalities make it seem like they jump off the page. Each story will take you on a journey. Each one will have you hooked. I love stories about Egypt, pharaohs, and archeologists so Cursed is a wonderful story. The other stories are just as wonderful as you meet a wendigo, a ghost, and a legend. I highly recommend these stories and you will not be disappointed reading them.

DP Payne is one of those must read authors, especially when it comes down to PNR. I had read a few of the Supernatural Love stories prior to this box set being released and I am so glad that I got the chance to scoop them all up in one neat package to devour at my own pace and time. I also adore box sets when they are from my favorite series and authors because it makes the ability to gift them to family and friends and spread that author love. Each book could be read in whichever order and at your discretion but I read them as they were arranged and loved every moment of it. The option to bounce around is there as long as you read them all, because they are too good to pass up. Ill give you a touch on each book but these really should just be scooped right up and devoured. You won’t regret it once you do. I look forward to finding out what else we will get from DP Payne in the near future! I am sure it will be wonderful!

~Parched~
This scooped my heart up and crushed it, then proceeded to put it all back together in a way I never knew I needed. Yes this has it all and dives into the greedy, dirty, sexy parts of life. Each of the characters shined in their own way and complemented the story perfectly grasped my attention for the next awaited book. There is 4000 plus years of angst packed into this short and sweet love story that will give you a taste of the dark paranormal as well. All around a five star read on its own.

~Cursed~
We get a bit more time travel with this one and of course some more of that paranormal and dark twisty love that we love reading from DP Payne. I was so excited to see the woman heroine shine in this novel and it made for some funny parts as she stood her ground. The names caught me up a tad in this book, simply because I am a fast reader and sometimes I found the flow thrown off with trying to make sure I got the name to sound right in my head. All a personal preference though so this book comes in at a strong four stars. Not my favorite of the group but I still loved it nonetheless. A very mummy like trip that I really was happy to have had the chance to read. I am so ready to get my hands on Spirited though!

~Spirited~
Margot and Blake steal the story with Spirited, and the favorite spot for me with this series. I adored Margot, in fact she reminds me of myself in some ways for sure. I can be a bit of a smartyalec and she is the epitome of one. I found myself high-fiving and cheering her on a few spots. I really loved her lol. I also enjoyed the setting of New Orleans, it really shined in the novel and took me away. Blake was a blast to follow as well and I really just overall enjoyed this book! Murder, laughter, dark and magical feelings, and of course the heat of romance all combine to make this one shine the brightest of them all!

Each of these books are different yet alike, something I really enjoyed and even more so was something that broke up the monotony of reading that I sometimes find myself in. I can’t wait to share this with some friends and reread them for myself in the near future! Hope to see more of these box sets as well!

4 Stars

Parched:
This story puts an interesting twist on the legend of the Wendigo. A man cursed to be a wendigo meets a woman with insatiable sexual needs. An extremely sexy love story. These pages are sizzling hot!

Cursed:
An archeologist stumbles upon a tomb of a cursed pharaoh. He awakens every thirty four years and as luck would have it, he wakes when she enters. With three days alive, can these two break the curse placed upon him four thousand years ago?

Spirited:
Unknowingly a contractor buys a haunted house to renovate. Unfortunately, falling in love with a ghost can really put a kink in your relationship. These two need to come up with some drastic measures if their love can survive the barriers of death.

Loched:
This was an interesting twist to the myth of the Loch Ness Monster. Lore, myth and magic meld together to bring this wonderful story to life. Man or monster, can he be both?

Four books filled with love, laughter and a multitude of sexiness. Definitely a must read!

I have absolutely loved every single read in this series, each one while being a quick read, keeps you utterly captivated from start till finish, and leave you wanting more from each book, to see the character’s journey continue and to see where this author can take them. These books are full to the brim with sexiness, steaminess, adventure, history & just brilliant well developed storylines.

With each book giving us new characters and a new supernatural character, you can’t help but be excited about what you are about to get. They are well-developed characters that are strong, and know what they want and won’t stop in order to find love, and get their HEA.

I can’t wait to read more from this author and see what others stories she brings to the Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd. I highly recommend these stories you won’t want to miss them!

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection. One of my favorite things is that each story was a bit different than ones I’ve read before. They are super long but I really don’t think that hinder any of the stories. I love a story that can find just the right mix between romance and paranormal and each of these stories has a nice balance. You’re definitely taken on an adventure with each unique story world that’s been created. I think I’d have to say Spirited (book 3) was my favorite, it really just pulled me in and I wasn’t ready for it to be over. But all these are great and who doesn’t love finding a collection of stories?! Four big stars and Highly recommended!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by D.P. Payne is a set of paranormal stories that are each unique and different from other stories. Each one is steamy and the finding of true love. I love the way DP used characters that are less shared in stories such as a Wendigo, a Pharaoh, a ghost and the Loch Ness monster. It also didn’t hurt that three of them where sexy men and one sexy woman.

Parched is the story of one greedy man who due to his greed was turned into a monster but could all that change, when he stumbles upon one strange enigma?

Cursed is the story of one woman obsessed with one man who was a Pharaoh but little was known about him. When she attends a dig in Egypt she uncovers the truth behind the man and maybe help break the curse.

Spirited is the story of a haunted house where the new owner gets up close and personal with the residing ghost. When she becomes more to him, he sets out to find a way for them to be together but what will the cost be?

Loched is the story of a little girl who knew there was more to the myth of the Loch Ness monster. After years away she returns and sets out to find the truth of the monster that no one else knows like her. But when she learns the truth behind the two families could all that she wants, be taken before it really began?

I enjoyed each and every story and the uniqueness of each tale. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

There is alot of adventure and intrigue brought out in these stories and they have a great amount of steamyness.

This collection of four novellas is a quick read for romance lovers. I wasn’t sure what to expect other than something a bit unexpected. The situations were unique and the characters were intriguing. I found this author to have an interesting voice for the characters presented, one that kept my attention from beginning to end. Definitely not a dull read!

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by D.P. Payne was certainly some unique little tales. Very easy to read, and each one a very different story. Romance and really weird happenings is the common thread here. My favorites were Spirited and Loched. In Spirited the enchanting Margot has been haunting her last place of employment for more than a hundred years. When Blake buys the house to renovate it, he gets a lot more than he bargained for. There is some sexual situations that some may find offensive, but all these little stories are quite unique with new little twists on some old legends.

Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd: Four Book Collection by Gwyn McNamee writing as D.P. Payne was an excellent collection of various types of romantic supernatural love stories. These different stories were addictive and I was hooked at the start of each one. Each one had magnificent characters and fun settings. The author’s creativity really shines through with these stories.

My favorite story was the one titled Loched. It features the Lochness monster and had amazing scenery. The characters Bryce, Ainsley, and Ewan were wonderful. It definitely featured a whirlwind Romance tied into an event from long ago that brought on a curse.

I absolutely loved this group of books. I feel it would appeal to a varied audience. I highly recommend it!

There are four different stories in this book and each one less expected than than the last. The consistency in the tone and steam factor definitely keep you turning pages. The tone comes off as redemption and the plot centers on learning and growing. The steam factor is off the scale, if you are looking for a hot read here they are!

“The first thing you need to understand is there are powers and forces in this world most humans don’t know about or or believe in.”

This is a terrific set of stories. Each story is about the size of a novella and features a different set of main characters. The common thread that ties them together – supernatural love and super hot sex.

I was able to all four books in one night.

I absolutely recommend this boxed set.

I completely enjoyed this set of stories! Supernatural books are one one of my favorite genres and this did not disappoint.
I am thoroughly intrigued by the use of less common supernaturals such as the wending and a pharaoh, but surprised and pleased with how they worked into the story nicely. Cursed, the story of pharaoh Wyre was probably my favorite because I am always interested in ancient Egypt and mummies. I also really enjoyed Loched, because who would have thought the Lochness monster could turn into a hunky man?
All four stories are equally as nice, all are very sexy and have a wonderful story behind each curse or legend. I would highly recommend this for any supernatural romance lover. Very nicely done!

This collection of stories is a good way to pass a couple of hours. The first three felt more like short stories, but the last one is a bit longer. I like the use of a wendigo as a character because you don’t see that very often. The spin on the mummy’s curse is a bit different as well.

The title is apt, because you will have to suspend belief for some of it, lol. But, since I read it during Halloween season, it seems right in the spirit of things. Also know that there are plenty of steamy scenes. ? The only thing I had a difficult time with was the collection that Chastity had. The bottles…Gag! That does not belong in the refrigerator beside the food. LOL!

Overall, I’d say this collection is a fun little reading jaunt to spice up your Halloween…or any day, really.

A wendigo. An ancient cursed pharaoh. A haunted brothel. And the Loch Ness monster.

There’s something for every paranormal romance lover in each of the four books in the Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd series.

If you want to laugh, cry, and need to change your panties, check out these unique paranormal love stories.

PARCHED (book one)

A wendigo controlled by a curse. An insatiable mystery woman. One sexy, crazy ride.

Greed. For the last 4,000 years, it’s been my curse.

Every day, I live with the repercussions of the terrible choices I made.

I thought I’d seen it all…then a black aura crosses my path.

The beautiful woman it belongs to sends my world into a tailspin.

She gets under my skin, hypnotizing me with her adventurous and kinky nature. I almost forget I know nothing about her.

Thinking with the wrong head can certainly get a man in trouble, but in this case, it could mean an end worse than my curse.

CURSED (book two)

A cursed pharaoh. A determined archeologist. Three days to find true love.

The dank depths of the Egyptian ruins reveal something I’ve been searching for my entire adult life—the tomb of the mysterious pharaoh, Nebtawyre Mentuhotep IV.

And somehow, the sexy king steps from his sarcophagus very much alive.

Lust soon overpowers reason as I fall down the rabbit hole with Wyre.

He claims me completely—my mind, body, and soul.

We only have three days to break a 4,000-year-old curse placed on him by his crazy ex.

If we don’t, he’ll return to his tomb and take my heart with him.

SPIRITED (Book three)

A haunted mansion. A sexy ghost. A contractor determined to fix both.

Buying and renovating the old plantation house seems like a great idea. The fact that it’s supposedly haunted by the spirit of a murdered prostitute is a minor oversight.

I don’t believe in that crap anyway.

But after a late-night rendezvous with a sexy spirit elicits a very real nocturnal emission from me, I have to rethink my belief in poltergeists…and love.

The intoxicating woman who has been trapped here for over a century casts a spell over me with her humor, courage, and passion.

I have to do something to free her from her ethereal prison.

But will my actions break her metaphysical chains, or will they release something darker into my new home?

LOCHED (book four)

A legend under the surface. A woman obsessed. A destined love.

Returning to Loch Ness means coming home in more ways than one.

The monster exists. I’ve seen him. Visions of the beast haunt my dreams and waking hours.

I need to get back to the loch. To him.

When he rises from the water again, I watch him shift into a sexy Highlander right before my eyes, and everything I think I know evaporates.

He’s so much more than I imagined.

A magical attraction between us leads down a path of ancient curses, family lore, and to an unmistakable love.

But will it be enough to keep him human, or will he return to the murky depths with my heart?
