Blurb: Serena Traydon was tired of playing it safe. All her adult life, she’d done what was expected—worked hard, went to school, cared for her aging grandfather, and ignored her own needs. Just once, she wanted someone to take care of her and bring her passions to life. But those deeper, darker desires seemed so forbidden without the right partner.

Keith McLauren had spent years training for this moment. He was a Dom and a he’d finally found the perfect submissive. She might be his secretary but she’d never been at his beck and call. Could he make her his without ruining everything?

Review: OH SNAP!!! Perfection!!! I am so in love with this book that I think about it off and on through the day!!!

What a fantastic ride from page 1 until the very end. Sassy sex, a hot boss, BDSM, bad guys, friends, a mystery man......YEAH BABY!!!! Ms Gordon has penned a story worthy of awards!!! I was so pulled in that the real world just melted away and the story was my ONLY focus for the duration. And did you see that cover? WOW!!!! Simple, sexy, elegant.

Ms Gordon, I am in awe of you. I pray that this one comes out in print because it is a MUST for my bookshelf!!!!! *SNAPS* I want more!!!! and then I want it again!!! You have a new fan and I will be on the lookout for your name in the future :)

Blurb: It’s a classic case of mistaken identity. But this time, it’s no mistake.

Plans go hilariously and seductively awry when mild-mannered Audrey Thompson dresses as Ava, her flamboyant but cowardly twin. It is Audrey's task, as Ava, to break up with Ava's fiancé, Zach Banister. However, as Audrey is stuffing her bra and tottering around in her sister's stilettos, she falls for Zach instead. Little does she know Zach has an agenda all his own.

Review: Oh My Goodness!!!! I giggled, I gasped, I snorted!!!

What a delightfully wicked, witty, funny, laugh-out-loud, rip-roaring-ride from start to finish. Let me give you a hint at how much I loved this book. I was still reading it when the time came to go get my little one from school....so what did I do? well, I packed up the laptop and took it with me!!! I COULDN'T STOP!!!!!!!!!! Hell, even if I could I sure didn't want to :)

A story that will stick with you and keep you smiling. NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! TOTAL WINNER!!!

Since discovering e-books, I don't buy many paperbacks anymore but I am willing to make an exception. I was so over the top blown away by this story that I am glad it is available in print so I can get a copy for my shelf. And just check out that cover...Simple, sexy and IMHO perfect!!!

Ms Clark, *SNAPS* you have a new fan :)

Blurb: Mark, at thirty-three, is over the whole finding-sex-online thing-until he comes up with a posting that turns into the ultimate lure for finding straight men that can be talked into some gay sex. An ad on Craigslist nets him a slew of replies, particularly in two prospective young bunkmates, Kyle and Chuck-who, at twenty-one and nineteen respectively, have a lot more in common than Mark could ever realize. Planning them for back-to-back head sessions (Mark shares with NO ONE), when Kyle arrives late and Chuck shows up only minutes later, Mark concocts a last-minute scheme to try and work a sizzling threesome with the two straight guys-with himself as the star-and his sexual appetite is only made more ravenous when he learns that, quite by accident, he's now standing in his bedroom with a pair of brothers. The only question now is, just how far can he get these boys to go…not only with another guy, as advertised…

But good God, maybe even with each other?

Warnings: This title contains graphic language, m/m sex, coercion, anal sex, and incest.

Review: Oh Kris baby, you are quickly becoming my naughty little obsession.

Readers—heed the warnings and be prepared. The Brothers Dim is sinfully naughty in a most delicious way. This story will make you laugh out loud. The narrative is witty and engaging and so apropos. I was charmed by Mark from the start. He is funny, daring, and horny! While he was hedging his bets with hopeful number one, Kyle, I was absolutely sure he was going to find himself entangled with hopeful number two, Chuck. The story doesn’t disappoint. Wow, the encounter between the three is shockingly…hot! I know, (and what you will find out when you read this story) is that Kyle and Chuck are brothers and the scene makes for some brotherly love that will have you cringing (because it’s just so naughty) and squirming (because damn, it’s just so hot).

This story is not for the timid. This story is for you if you enjoy raw, hard-core sex between hot, horny men (and brothers) :) .

Blurb: What would you do if your husband cornered you one day and asked you to fill out a list asking for your thoughts on every sex act under the sun? Would you think “Fun! I can steal some of these ideas!” or would you get scared that he’s trying to tell you something? That maybe your sex life isn’t spicy enough for him, that he wants more? Soon after Mia McIntyre completes her list and hands it out to her husband, her life gets turned upside down. At first it’s fun. A lot of fun. Their fantasies are suddenly becoming reality and they both get a kick out of it. But when other people start getting involved, things turn complicated. Mia pushes on, intent on pleasing Kevin. She loves him after all and she’d do anything for him…wouldn’t she?
Warnings: This title contains graphic language, ménage, some elements of non-consent and anal sex.

Review: I hardly know what to brag about first. The deeply personal way you get to know the characters, the palpable tension of the plot, the intensity of the sex or the heart-wrenching ache you feel at the points in the story where your emotions are twisted and played with.

Mia is shy, hesitant and questions her sexual appeal in a way I think all women can relate with. She’s married to a totally hot man and worries a thinner more adventurous woman would suit him better. I loved how her insecurities weren’t really brought to light until Kevin pointed them out. While he thinks he’s helping her become sexy and secure with her full figure, he’s actually making her feel inadequate. And still, I loved Kevin and his good intentions. What started out as a bit of fun becomes complicated, emotional and threatens their relationship. There is hot sex including a ménage scene to make you squirm. Oh and expect to fall in love with Nick. He’s as scrumptious as Kevin.

The story is impossible to put down. Each turn of the page took me deeper into their lives. There were moments that I feared for Mia and times I was sure Kevin was going to fail her. But in the end, their love was the strong force and helped them to rediscover what they needed from each other.

Blurb: Alek likes to tie up women. As a rigger, he’s into the aesthetics of bondage—the pattern of rope against skin, the marks left in tender flesh—but he also likes the high of being in control and, yeah, it turns him on. When Alek needs a model to complete the photographs for his book on rope bondage, he asks his friend Shaela.

Shaela has known Alek since high school, and while she disapproves of his kinky sexual habits, he’s a friend and she agrees to help. She’s not prepared for the experience of being tied up. Being bound and helpless releases her from her everyday problems—her slave-driver boss, her unsatisfying career and her derogatory father. She’s also helplessly aroused.

So is Alek. He sees how Shaela loves being bound, even though she doesn’t want to admit it, and proposes they explore it together. Intrigued but nervous, Shaela agrees. Neither of them expects to learn the things they do about each other—and about themselves. And neither of them expects to fall in love.

Review: Oh my hell, this book was impossible to put down. Alek has all the wonderful qualities we love in a hotter than hell hero. He’s sexy and yummy, and has a deliciously naughty streak that made my heart pound and my panties damp.

Yep, this is a perfect example of erotic romance, because while the sex is scorching and just remembering while I’m writing this review is making me hot again, this is also a wonderful friends to lovers stories. Both Shaela and Alek have emotional baggage that adds depth and motivation to their characters. Through bondage, Shaela is shown true sexual and emotional freedom. Alek has some hang-ups, Yeah, he wants control and he’s a sexy Alpha male, but he reveals vulnerability with Shaela.

This truly was a hot story to read that satisfied on all levels. I won’t be forgetting Shaela or Alek for a long time and I’ll never look at a piece of rope with out seeing the dark, erotic possibilities.

Blurb: Whips. Blindfolds. Restraints. And a man rumored to be the most skilled Dom in the city... As the BDSM instructor at the hottest fetish club in Los Angeles, Bianca Alexander prides herself on being open, honest, and informative with her clientele when it comes to kink. The fact that she hasn’t knelt before a master of her own in four long years doesn’t affect her ability to teach, though a part of her longs to be back in her Dom's arms. But when her boss hires Cade Sinclair--her primary rival from a competing club--to assist teaching her classes, Bianca’s comfortable solo act becomes a sinful duet drenched in Pure Sin.

Review: VERY NICE!!! What a wonderfully decadent tale of love, sex and bondage! This fantastic treat was a show stopper from start to finish with characters, plot and SEX that left me breathless!

Bianca really has her work cut out for her when she discovers who her partner is supposed to be :) A totally great story!

Ms Raines has done such a great job that I am ready to read this one again and anxious to find more of her work. SO....as I make my way out into cyber world to scout out other work's by this author you need to whet your DBSM appetite with this succulent bit that I promise will please!

Blurb: Goldie thinks she's prepared for the death of her doting Grandpa who's raised her since childhood. But after his passing, she finds herself curled up on the sofa watching television, feet clad in fuzzy slippers. She knows God has a new plan for her life, but she's simply too tired to figure out what it is. To make matters worse, sweet, shy coffee shop owner, Joe Montgomery, keeps showing up on her doorstep with morning coffee. When she tells him emphatically that she doesn't like coffee—never has and never will—he shows up with a dog instead! As she takes steps to start a new life, with her new puppy scampering playfully at her side, Goldie begins to realize a cup of Joe just might be what she's needed all along.

Review: What a great feel good love story! Ms Wilson does such a great job creating her stories, her characters always have wonderful depth, the animals are super nifty and the Lord is always there :) lending a helping hand, guiding those who seek him and showing those who ask the wonder of His way.

This heartwarming inspirational is filled with laughs, love and friendships that really open your eyes and take you to new heights. The death of a loved one is a challenge and can be devastating, this tender tale takes us for a ride along one couples discovery that sometimes death opens more doors than it closes.

It is easy to see why this story won a prize in the SARA Merritt contest this year! *SNAPS* Ms Wilson on such an endearing, truly inspiring love story :)

Blurb: As a first-grade teacher, Bridget thinks she’s prepared for anything a classroom of six-year-olds can throw at her. So it’s a bit of a shock when she’s bitten by a were-puppy and transformed into a dog.

As if peeing outside, excessive furriness and squirrel-chasing urges aren’t enough, it seems as if everyone is after Bridget—including a billionaire with an unhealthy interest in the paranormal, and Micah, the smoking-hot uncle of her were-puppy student.

When she takes refuge with Hammer, a kind stranger who has the body of a god and feeds her hamburgers, Bridget thinks she’s safe. Micah’s hot on her trail, however, and the crazy billionaire isn’t about to let a were-dog slip through his fingers. Meanwhile, Hammer is determined to discover the truth about the mysterious woman who visits his bedroom at night—wearing nothing but a black leather collar.

Chasing Her Tail features a cameo by Hammer’s friends Harry, Beth and Ky. Get to know the trio more…intimately…in Katie Allen’s One-Two Punch.

Review: Oh My God! This book is hilarious! I have never wanted to be a dog until now. Ms. Allen has thought of everything. From her first transformation, Bridget is stumbling to find her way in a dog eat dog world. (Thank god Micah is also a dog and dog eating is on the menu. In addition to great oral sex, she, Micah and Hammer also like a lot of anal play) Anything goes with this trio so be prepared to be turned on. But don’t worry about any ick factors. There is only hot, turn-me-on sex in human form.

Bridget is the center of the story, but the developing relationship between Micah and Hammer adds a devilishly delightful element. This fresh, fun novel turns a typical shifter story on it’s ears. Exciting, sexy, funny as hell. This one is a must read for any dog lover. If you aren’t a dog lover, you will be after reading Chasing Her Tail.

Logan Knight is staying with his grandfather while recuperating from an accident that claimed the lives of his two best friends. He needs time to heal his body and his heart from the tragedy of that fire. Libby Turner will do whatever it takes to keep her parents from placing her beloved grandmotherinto an assisted living facility—even masquerading as a 70-year-old woman. From the moment the two meet, sparks fly and they can't keep their hands off each other.
Can they stick to their plan of keeping their relationship strictly sexual, or do they give in to the overwhelming love that threatens to claim their hearts?

Review: So, let me start by saying I laughed my rear off, got lots of warm fussies, and could NOT put this book down until it was done! What a total cluster Libby finds herself in, but it is sooooo funny to read about it and thank the lord I am not the one in her shoes :) A totally funny, sexy story that will sizzle and smolder until you don't think you can take anymore.....but then surprise....you can :)

This was the first book I ever read by Ms Richards and am pleased to say it was not the last. I have since picked up a copy of The Cowboy Way. I won't spoil but rest assured I have a review for it waiting in the wings;)

This story is avaliable in E-book as well as trade paperback. Great story and good editing. The only reason Presentation score was an 8.5 was the picture on the cover of the trade paperback is a little fuzzy and the ISBN number on the back looked like it had been cut out and pasted on. Nothing to get your knickers in a knot over but since my scoring is 50% dependant on the presentation I had to knock a tiny bit for it.

Definitly will make a wonderful addition to your library. Go......What are you waiting for..........You're still here? .......Really?...............You don't want to miss this one :)

Blurb: Every woman needs a little danger in her life, but what's perilous about a wildlife shoot in the beautiful Montana wilderness? Armed with only a camera, Lacey Weston treks through the rough terrain and captures more on film than she bargains for-the murder of another young woman.Fearing for her life, Lacey flees the scene and stumbles straight into the path of a man who strongly resembles the murderer. Sheriff Danger Blackstone, with his piercing gray eyes and rugged physique, could be the man in her undeveloped pictures.With nowhere else to run and hide, Lacey must decide if she dares to trust her life to the only person who can protect her, one whose apparent grudge against Anglo females makes him less than approachable-the very man she suspects of murder.This suspenseful romance-packed with action, hard-bodied cowboys and long, hot nights-gives a whole new meaning to the Wild West.


Review: Ok, so let me just start by saying WOW! A total roller coaster ride that is sure to please from beginning to end. Filled with funny, laugh out loud one liners and great spots that will make your sides hurt. Hot, smokin sex between a sexy stud and a beautiful woman in the wild Montana mountains. Teeming with suspense, this is a story you just gotta read.

Hold on to your seat because the second installment of the Montana Men series is just as good as the first. I have read both books several times and find myself not so patiently waiting for the third book, To Close To The Fire, that is supposed to come out some time late summer.


This series is filled to the brim with characters that will sink into your heart and never let go. You will wonder about them when you aren't between the pages with them. There are five books slotted to round out the series and all I can say is hurry, hurry, I want them all now!!!!!


Please be aware that there is very graphic sexual content and a forced sexual scene in the second of the series, No Holds Barred. The scene is NOT used as titillation. It is used so you understand the sick inner workings of the serial killers mind.
