Blurb: Nadja Mederios knows what she wants after months of watching Donato keep order at Club Mist, and an intervention from her best friend Taleena. As a lounge singer, she portrays a sensual, sultry woman; underneath she’s not the high maintenance girl people assume she is. A tomboy lies under her protective costume. When the real woman comes to light she hopes Donato finds her just as sexy.

Donato Falcone isn’t looking for commitment, but when someone touches Nadja without permission, rational thought leaves him and rage steps in. After his temper cools, he sees a different side of Nadja. Her sleek sophistication may well be a front for the girl who could be his forever, if he can break down her barriers.

Review: Flaws and All was a fun story. The dialog was fresh and the characters likeable. I liked Nadja and her insecurities made her real and her fear of relationships made for a great conflict. Donato was hot. He’s strong and protective. The story is a bit slow in the beginning and the middle is a bit weighted with filler, but once the action begins, its fast and entertaining. Donato is true hero material. My only complaint was in keeping the names of the characters straight because they all sounded too much alike. Flaws and All is a great short story and Ms. Levey has a nice style and voice to her writing.

Blurb: Upon finishing the first semester of college three child hood friends meet up again at their familiar haunting ground. Fantasies never acted out, have the chance to happen for one night. Addie, Galen and Teagan find in each other’s arms an affinity for each other that has never evaporated but grown stronger during the length of their long lived friendship.

Review: The opening of Soulbound was a bit slow but offered needed backstory to give this hot ménage a foundation. Once Addie arrives on scene with Galen and Teagan, the story erupts with hot erotic action. What I liked best was that Addie wasn’t left out. Teagan and Galen are involved, but she is the missing element in the story. She’s not the center of this relationship, but she is an equal part. Ms. Levey pulled this off with erotic style and flare. Not easy to do since Teagan and Galen were so intensely sexy on their own.

Blurb: Naval Aviator Lark Maddox works for the United States Coast Guard. Honor and Integrity are the morals she lives by, yet her heart has been stolen by one under her command.


Master Chief Survival Tech Acer Davidson doesn't believe in love or marriage and has forsworn making any permanent ties. When tragedy occurs, will he seize the opportunity of a lifetime or let the best thing in his life float away on the rippling tide.

Review: Normally I am not big on children in erotic books, however this story runs middle of the road on the Phaze heat meter. 3 Novas so even though the sex was hot and heavy, fully depicted and well done, the addition of a child at the end really didn't bother me. The baby played a very small part.

With that said are you ready for the review?

NICE!!!!!!! This well written story really tugged on my emotions and more than once I felt my stomach drop or swoop when the heroine was facing something difficult. *clapping* GREAT JOB!!!!

*SNAPS* Ms Levey on a job well done. Loved it :) can't wait for more :)
