Blurb: Ashlynn Sweeney has been in love with Reese for ten years, which would be no problem if he were not her stepbrother. Being near him is unbearable, but Ashlynn likes to think she plays it cool, and his living on campus definitely makes life easier.

When Reese comes home for spring break, Ashlynn does her best to avoid him. Yet temptation’s hard to resist, and discovering the object of her affections masturbating to pornography is about as tempting as it gets. Though she flees before they can lock eyes, Ashlynn finds Reese isn’t about to let her off that easily. Instead, he suggests they watch the rest of the movie together.

Ashlynn’s low on options. She can either face the forbidden with her head held high or brace herself for uncomfortable family gatherings. Either way, her life’s about to change . . . she just doesn’t know how much.

Review:  Not bad :) Naughty and sexy all at the same time. While I personally found the virginal sex a bit more pleasurable than what I think most women experience their first time, it was still well done and a story worth reading. A bit more than erotica, this one has a bit of a story and a nice resolution. There is more than just the hot sex...though not much more. But the sex is HOT HOT HOT :)

Blurb: An innocent woman. An assassin with a conscience. A deadly attraction.


Although Anna Winter doesn’t fit the profile, Nathanial ‘Wolf' Thornton can’t be sure she isn’t the woman he’s supposed to assassinate without getting a closer look.

Once he discovers his cover’s been blown, his options are limited: walk away or watch an innocent woman suffer the consequences.

A slave to his conscience, Wolf decides to take Anna along for the ride of her life…all the while battling his desire for her.

Content warning, explicit sex, language, exhibitionism.

Review: This story was filled with passion and excitement. The hero is quintessential hot! He’s strong, dominant and oh so bad. He’s serious sex appeal with a dangerous edge. Anna was sweet, yet strong and Wolf knows just how to bring out her wild side.

The story starts with a bang. And in such a short story, Ms. Stanton was able to perfectly blend action, suspense and sexual tension. This is sizzling little story to heat up your afternoon. Keep a cool beverage close by because the sex is smoking. But the story is even better. I loved it and it’s definitely a keeper.
