The Case of the Cupid Curse
Sam Enderson is a human detective who inherits a building from where his Uncle used to run a detective agency. He finds himself working for paranormal creatures despite his resolve to stick with humans only. To supplement his income as a new PI Sam rents out rooms in the large house.
Bob is a vampire and turns up on Sam's doorstep to rent a room. Sparks fly and Sam is attracted to the vampire despite himself.
Sam is cursed by a witch, and has two cases landing on his desk. Werewolves, annoying ghosts and a grumpy gargoyle are enough to drive Sam mad. But somehow in amongst all of this he has to find a missing fae and a missing shifter child.
The Case of the Wicked Wolf
Naiads, humans, sirens and a challenge for Alpha make up the intricate story in the race to rescue the missing children.
Sam and Bob have more than just the case of one lost child to handle. Not only is Shelby Hartman missing, but other paranormal children have disappeared. The race to rescue the children is hampered by naiads, humans, sirens and a challenge for Alpha.
Hartman Hunter is desperate to find his daughter. He turns to the demon Danjal Naamah for help. The problem is that Danjal is the only person Hartman has ever loved—the man he let go for the sake of the pack…

Reviews
Reviews for The Complete Collection
The Novel Approach – 4.5 – “…. I really enjoy both Amber Kell’s and RJ Scott’s individual works, so finding this book, where both are involved, thrilled me. They have a similar writing style, and this joint project reads seamlessly. I almost don’t want to know who wrote which chapter, or how they did it, because I just loved the world they created….”
Crystal's Many Reviewers – 5 – “….Overall both books are very entertaining, quick reads, easy to get lost in the story while waiting for a plane, train for a raining afternoon in Fl, like I read them….”
Reviews for The Case of the Cupid Curse
The Romance Reviews – 4/5 –
“….With stories that are written by more than one author, there are
sometimes gaps in the flow of the writing. There are none here. The
writing flows smoothly and seamlessly I wouldn't be able to tell you who
wrote what. The world describe within the story was easily imagined as
where the characters….”
MM Good Book Reviews – 4/5
– “….I really enjoyed this first story in the End Street Detective
Agency and I am looking forward to more. We are introduced to an
interesting array of characters and some very interesting cases that we
delve into. We see as Sam struggles with his attraction to Bob and as
they come together, with Sam still not really understanding the depth of
Bob’s feelings. The storyline is cool, the cupid curse was very
interestingly carried out and the various paranormal we come across are
great. Sirens, Vampires, Werewolves, Gargoyles, Ghosts, Fae, Witches
and a cat familiar, they all add that little spark of magic that makes
this a great story….”

Hearts On Fire Reviews – 4/5
– “….This was a fun and action packed read. There is something about
Sam that attracts paranormal creatures but also nullifies the effects
on their magic. Bob and Sam were a great couple and well developed
characters. I enjoyed Bob’s protectiveness toward Sam even if it was
sometimes misplaced. The old witch and the Cupid Curse that she put on
Bob made for some laughs until the half vampire, Mikhail comes up with a
way to neutralize the spell. The story is jam packed with secondary
characters that range from the fairly mundane twin fae to the dangerous
and exotic siren with a whole slew of werewolves thrown in on the side.
The result is a plate full of crazy for Sam and an interesting story for
the reader….”
Long and Short Reviews – “….I recommend this book for the gritty storyline, the sexy men and the imaginative world the authors have created….”
Because Two Men are better than One – 3.5/5 –
“….This book was so not what I was expecting! I was expecting the
vampires and the witches and a bit of mystery as Sam takes over the
detective agency. What I didn't expect was the wonderful humour which
was in bucketfuls!….”
Reviews for The Case of the Wicked Wolf
Mrs Condit Reads Books – 4.5/5 –
“….Bob the Vampire is back! Oh, and so are the rest of the folks at
End Street Investigations. But mostly it’s Bob. The vampire. The sexiest
undead since Dracula. Oh, Bob. Anyway (truth be told, if Bob was
a shifter, I’d be mooning over him…get it? Shifter. Moon. Never mind.)
Bob is back along with Sam, the more-than-human (though no one is quite
sure what he is yet) investigator he’s in love with. In the first book
we met Hartman Hunter, Alpha of the werewolf pack, whose daughter has
been kidnaped. This book, we learn the identity of the abductor, why she
was abducted, more about Hartman and also find out more about Sam’s
sleazy, slimy, no good ex, Josh. It’s a lot to pack into a short book,
but Ms. Kell and Ms. Scott do a great job of it….”
MM Good Book Reviews – 4/5 – “….This
story is really well written and switches between the couples as they
hunt for the children. There’s danger, excitement, some great
characters and just a touch of hot loving. There’s betrayal and there’s
forgiveness and then there is the mystery that is Sam. I can’t wait to
see what happens next in this series. Could there be a love interest
for Mikhail? Ohhh. Maybe for Teddy the ghost??!! I also hope we get to
see Trawl again, because he seems like a lovable big lug.
I will recommend this to those who love paranormal PIs, vampires, hot
demons and wolves, betrayal, danger and a great storyline with a happily
ever after for a wolf and his mate….”
Live Your Life, Buy The Book – 4/5 – “….Sam
and Bob are just as fun as ever. I truly adore them as a couple.
They’re funny and sexy. Sam may not like it when Bob reads his mind but
I LOVE it! Sam develops some new powers in this book and because he’s
still clinging to his need to be just human doesn’t want them. I find
that crazy with all the trouble he keeps finding himself in lately.
I liked the introduction of the bracelet; it makes me anticipate a
battle looming in Sam’s future. The baddies have marked him and they
seem the persistent type so allies are good. I really enjoy these
books. They’re fun and short with really likable characters. I’m a
fan!…”
Long and Short Reviews – “….This
is a gritty detective novel that is blended smoothly with a sexy M/M
romance story with delicious magic adding just a touch of whimsy to the
story. I thoroughly enjoyed this collaboration and I hope for
more from these two authors together in the future. I recommend this to
paranormal romance and detective story fans equally who love when men
love each other and aren’t afraid to express it….”
The Romance Reviews – 4/5 – “….Once
again, the two authors have done an amazing job of blending their
writing. The world created by these two is a very easily imagined; the
paranormal characters are so varied and different from other books and
from the first book in this series. I'm wondering who or what is going
to show up next. I can't wait….”
Paranormal Romance Guild – Gloria Lakritz – 4.5/5
– “….The great personalities of these two authors made the
collaboration of Amber Kell and RJ Scott a ‘no brainer’. You can see for
yourself by the last interview we had with them, when we did the Dual
review for The Case of Cupid’s Curse, Book one of their End Street
Detective Agency series. This series is so off the wall, I cannot
recommend it enough….”
Paranormal Romance Guild – Penelope Adams – 4/5
– “….This just a plain out good story, the author’s have a way with
words that entertains and intrigues at the same time. Their characters
are rich and well fleshed out, their humor is contagious and I couldn’t
help but smile through most of the story, even the yucky parts. We get
the obligatory warning in the beginning: “this book contains sexually
explicit content” and it does so I’ve warned you….”
