Wow. Rory has created an awesome world of hot sexy males and hot sexy fae. I love the idea of the soul being split by the Pattern and then finding its other half here. This particular couple are especially interesting to me because Kevin has never been attracted to a man before Tiernan.

I tend to read a great deal, and have varied interests, but few authors keep me glued to the page the way Rory does! While some of the finer points of the series do make it easier to understand whats happening if you read them in order, I actually read book 4, I think it was, first and had no trouble keeping up with the story. Some things are clearer now, however!

A Hero that wears both suits and piercings? Yes please! I loved that Roman was such a contradiction and it made him a really unique character. It's not often that I would say two very different personalities could come together so well but this author did a brilliant job at blending the two. Roman was a perfect mix of suit wearing lawyer who could eat you alive in the Court room and also sexy stripper that you'd beg to eat you alive in the bedroom.

Roman and Addison were a great couple and they both had a really high energy that you could feel throughout the book. I liked that they complimented each other so well. Both were fierce when it came to their work but neither of them were afraid to go out and have fun, which I loved.

I've had the first book in this series, Shameless, on my Kindle for a few weeks and now I want to kick myself for not reading it yet. All of the characters were hot as Hades and I definitely need to go back and read about Jane and her own hot stripper. Ms. Maxwell did a really good job at giving us information about the secondary characters in this story while not letting them take over the story. I'm so curious about the rest of these men so I can't wait to read more of them!

A Shot in the Dark #2 by Christine D'Abo
* I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*

Paige is a submissive that likes a little pain but her ex-boyfriend took it to extremes, scarring her from future play.  It's been three years since she walked away from Rick and that lifestyle, now she is suffering because she hasn't been taking care of her needs.  She doesn't realize how much she misses that lifestyle until Carter walks into their coffee shop and offers her a safe entry back in.  Does she trust herself enough to know her limits with a new Dom.

Carter shows up again and convinces her to meet him at Mavericks for a drink, which turns out to be just what Paige needs.  She's never had anyone attend to her needs and pleasure without taking theirs during a session.  Now Rick is back in town and she is determined not to let him or the past keep her from getting what she needs and wants from Carter.

Paige is a very strong female character that knows what she wants and needs in her personal life.  She is a sub that likes a little pain with her pleasure and Carter is just the right Dom to give it to her.  She has trouble trusting herself after her life with Rick.  She knows that she has a right to set her limits and have a safe word but she doesn't trust herself to know when enough is too much.  Throughout the story the inner turmoil that Paige is dealing with is evident.  She has to come to terms with the fact that she has going through the motions but not really living until Carter walks into her life.
Carter is a good match for Paige.  He is a sexy firefighter that is good at being a Dom and seeing to his partner's needs above his.  He has learned tricks to make the pleasure/pain aspect heighten the subs arousal and he can't wait to share them all with Paige.  He is not like Rick in anyway and has to convince her not to give up the lifestyle she desires and needs just because of one bad experience.  He also understands Paige's need to handle things herself when it comes to Rick, he doesn't like it but he understands.

This was a very sexy book to read.  I don't know a lot about this lifestyle and the author does a good job of explaining things without overdoing it.  I loved Paige and Carter's story but also enjoyed seeing character's from the first book mixed in (Ian, Josh, Sadie, etc).  I can't wait to read Ian and Blue-Eyes story next.  Overall I enjoyed A Shot in the Dark and give it 4 Flaming Hearts.

The main characters Hutch and Natalie each in their own right have some serious issues.  But even though they are flawed, tormented and are prone to making bad decisions, together, they really work and do make each other better i ndividuals.  It is not your typical HEA, Aubrey leaves you with the thought that there still will be struggles, but she also leaves you with a hope that love for these two will bind them together forever.  I totally loved these two characters!  Once I started, really I couldn't put it down (of course I had to..work ya know).  But the story line kept moving and kept me on edge.  Fans of paranormal/shifters and BBWwill love this story line.  It really does have it all - it is intense and has some super hot sex scenes.

Fantastic kink. Each story contains BDSM and some power exchange to varying degrees.
I love the uniqueness the author gives to her characters - where a diva, tantrum throwing musical savant would be the typical antagonist in a romance, Caressas Knees finds her as the protagonist. Every character is full of flaws, but they're good people you want to see succeed and find happiness.
The drama level is high (really though), but nothing I found too overwhelming until I reached the fourth book, Command Performance- that one was a little much for me, and I definitely wasn't feeling Miri, but I still enjoyed the read.
All main characters are exceptionally sexually open and...free spirited, so know that each book has the H and h with multiple partners and experiencing orgies and or sharing. This is a situation I typically avoid in a romance, but it totally fits these peoples lifestyle, and they genuinely enjoy it, allowing me the reader to go with it (mostly. Lol).

Initially brought together by mutual attraction and their love of all things sexual, Charlie and Quinn aren't looking for anything more than a good time. However, a chance encounter in a hallway turns their relationship up a notch and as they begin to spend more time together oh boy do things get even more hot and heavy!

Charlie is strong and masculine but also caring and loyal and I love his open mindedness. Quinn is equally strong and feisty, sexually adventurous, able to voice her opinions, but has a certain vulnerability about her. Told from alternating POV we get a great insight into their thoughts and feelings, as they discover new things about themselves and each other. A slow realisation that maybe there's more than just the odd sexual encounter to be had.

The whole story flows beautifully and I love the inclusion of their friends and family, with just the right amount of drama and angst to give the story depth. Their sexual chemistry is off the charts but I especially like the way that Charlie and Quinn are friends as well as lovers.

Unconventional is an extremely steamy, erotic, wonderfully sexy love story. It has the most amazing sex scenes throughout which will have you squirming in your seat! A fabulous book which had me laughing as well as wiping my tears and on occasion wanting to get hold of certain characters and shake them! A definite five star read, I don't hesitate to recommend his book.

And yes, it is a love story...Kate, Joe and Sean are some of the most three-dimensional characters in erotica. You can watch them all gradually come to be in love with one another, whether they're willing to admit it to themselves or not. The bond (and bondage!) these three share is strong enough to survive even the ending, and you find yourself wanting a sequel.

As for the smut, it's a must-read for those into m/m and m/f/m sex. There is a lengthy bondage/domination scene and some absolutely fantastic roleplaying that will make you want to dress up for your partner. I preferred the roleplay between Sean and Kate rather than Joe and Kate because it has that much more of a "forbidden" factor to it, and the tension between them as they delve into their roles is palpable. The sex is hot as hell between all three characters and you will not be disappointed with this book.

Totally loved this book - one of my favorites this year! Matt and Hannah meet as online writing partners, but their relationship quickly moves from there. Rather than give a synopsis of the plot - there are plenty of those out there already - I'll tell you some of the things I loved about this book.

One, the relationship between the characters is dynamic, not static. Over the course of the book, the character I perceived to be the "strong" one shifted as the plot unfolded.

Two, it has enough angst to keep me emotionally hooked, and the angst comes from within the characters in a way that is intimately connected with the developing plot.

Three, the sex is kinky and hot!

As far as I'm concerned, this is an outstanding book...and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens next!

Dirty Bad Strangers
My review

This works very well as a standalone. You don't need to read the others to read this book.

Ok. For me this is erotic fetish at its extreme. Although I'd read Dirty Bad Savage, and enjoyed the kind of kink written in that, (and thoroughly enjoyed it), this was a little extreme for me in some of the scenes. Even the blurb didn't quite prepare me for the level of kink to expect. Having said that I still truly enjoyed the story.

Being from the UK I could totally visualise the whole footballer celebrity lifestyle and felt this was written very well. I also loved the realism of Gemma/Lucy and how down to earth she was. I enjoyed Jason's character too and couldn't help but visualise in my minds eye various UK footballers that he could've been based on.

For me, some of the scenes, although mostly very HOT, were just too ... well ... dirty, and kinda had me squirming and maybe not in a sexy way as I would've liked. I didn't mind the threesomes etc. just some of the content was a little too much. That was kind of a turn off for me.

I enjoyed the sexiness of Gemma and Jason's relationship and how it blossomed. I loved loved loved Jason's loyalty towards the end. Proper hearts n flowers.

I was seething at her so called best friend!! What a f@cking class A b*tch!!! And the wife!!! Gah! I wanted to throat punch them both!!!! I was utterly devastated towards the end. You could see it coming a mile off, that the relationship was gonna take a tumble. I was prepared for the angst of it (or so I thought) yet I wasn't prepared for the devious nature in how everything fell apart. I was utterly gutted!

I also felt that how it was written, how people reacted so cruelly, was both quite accurate and utterly sad at the same time. I welled up more than a couple of times.

It was a good fantasy erotic read. Which kept me wanting to read on, even if some parts were difficult to swallow (pun intended)

So it's a feisty four stars from me.

I received and arc in return for an honest review.

So, I have discovered erotica, and have been downloading lots but this is one of the few I felt inclined to review.
This is a hot BDSM story, 19 pages worth on my kindle. Young Violet seems a normal sort of British girl, working a boring job. But her boss has spiked her sexual interest.  Apparently she has spiked his interest, too. A dominant and more experienced man, the boss recognizes her submissive nature and decides to introduce her to it. What follows are a number of BDSM erotic scenes in the bosses office, including a threesome when the big boss arrives.

This is well written erotica, with a romantic bent. Clearly a cut above the normal sort of stuff I have found out there. 5 stars

So the continuation of Filthy Desire by Sebastian Ex was another eye opening read.  This book focussed primarily around Brandon and Penny (aka Petal).  Their story was one that both shocked me and inspired me.  Much like Matthew, Brandon is a brilliant character.  A terrific Dom but Penny questions their relationship because of her risky sexual desires.
---------
Excerpt:
She pushed me to be the best Dom I could be for her.  She showed me the control I needed to have when we're Dom/sub.  And I've shown her the power of freedom she has through her surrender.
----------

But Penny walking out would lead her to something much more dangerous than anyone anticipated.  Not only wound lose her ability to use safe words with her next match but also so much more personally.  Knowing that Brandon couldn't give her what she wanted or needed would cut him in half but when she truly needed him, he knew they wouldn't be separated again.

The continued morals from the first story are very much apparent.  The vulnerability and safety of their women always being at the forefront of their thoughts.  Unlike some men, pretending to be what they aren't, would rile the men.  They knew how a Dom should act at all times and how to treat the ladies in their lives...
---------
Excerpt:
Matthew, Nathan and I have the same values.  Women - more specifically our women - are to be nurtured, encouraged, and worshipped...To take them, use them, break down the barriers their minds put up, and to rebuild them until they're the women they should be.  But most of all, we cherish and love them.
----------

Penny wanting more, shows Brandon he needs to do all in his power to be what she wants.  What she needs.  But could he bring himself to do what she craved so badly?
---------
Excerpt:
But Master is what she wants to call me, and I've made a promise to myself to learn to be the best Master I can be for her.  "I'll be here to catch you if you fall.  I'll be here to be your Master."
----------

Penny's upbringing was a normal one.  But her desires seemed far from what you expect.  But with friends and support around the pair, they would help one another.  Grow together emotionally, physically and financially through their own personal journeys as well as the businesses.  Even if this meant treading on the toes of someone who would have set off the whole mess with Penny in the first place.
---------------
Final Excerpt:
...all I want is to feel that burn of pain.  It's like a craving, one a junkie might have...But I crave the pain, and I don't think I can ever be happy with just some kink.  It makes me feel alive, wrong and right, elated and sad, and everything in between, with each and every strike.
-------------

A difficult and mind boggling second read from Sebastian Ex but as always, a learning curve and a very intriguing read into the BDSM and Dom/sub world.

Yummy bdsm menage! Oh yeah. Surrender to Chance was a lot of fun as brothers--Kane and Alex--take on one fiery heroine who's just started working for their resort and has a submissive side.

The characters were pretty fun. I liked Olivia. She's good at what she does and could be so sweet. She was just a nice heroine that had some big insecurities after a horrid relationship that broke her down. It was hard seeing sometimes and I could get frustrated with her mindset now and again--she could be a little difficult--but I got it and enjoyed watching the men help her deal with her past.

And the guys...lots of yum in these two! They're both all the way alpha and really know how to turn a girl's world upside down and in the most creative ways. I liked their dynamic and how they worked together in the bedroom and at the resort they ran. They had their own mix of issues to work through from past relationships to a very sad home life. I liked seeing all the different sides from powerful and in charge (though down to earth) to incredibly vulnerable.

On the heat side of things? *noms* Yeah. This one is spicy hot down to the location of a kinked out little town where menages and bdsm are the norm. Oh, yes. I wouldn't mind a little visit to King's Bluff. While things never get too extreme the BDSM was crazy hot and definitely left me fanning myself.

There was a little thread of suspense too which was fun as issues pop up at the resort the brothers own and have them trying to track down the culprit of attacks that are both personal and professional. It added a nice extra layer and interest to things for sure.

My only complaint was that the ending wrapped up a little too quickly after something happened and I needed a spot more time before that happened to be totally woohoo! on the ending. But it wasn't a huge issue. I'm also not a fan of the cover. The heroine on it is just awkward.

All in all, Surrender to Chance was sexy with the perfect touch of drama and suspense. Add in a kinked out town, good friends, steaming hot sex, a luxury lodge run by two very intriguing brothers and a strong heroine and,  I mean, really, what's not to love? Archer gives good kink and will definitely have me coming back for more of this kinky little town as soon as I get a chance.

Force field grid powered by crystals which require sexual energy, where is this planet?  Is it possible to check to see if I have the required DNA?  I would hope that I do because I'd be happy to go through the seven years of training to be subjected to high magic.  Ms. Knight is a new to me author who I will be following closely.  She creates a sexually charged world with a science fiction fantasy background.  When my favourite genre of science fiction is mixed with steamy BDSM, I'm completely enthralled.

The plot contains a bit of suspense and good conflict.  It's a familiar trope and easy to follow.  The characters Ari, Fleur and Doral are engaging and sexy.  Their chemistry together is flaming hot and so good to experience.

What really sold me on this book is the erotic sex with amazing edging.  I loved the BDSM elements with submission through obedience and orgasm control.  Ms. Knight writes smoking hawt mnage sex.  Ari is so sexy with his commands.  His method of sexual torment as well as his control will make any submissive want to drop straight to their knees.  There are so many delightful scenes in this story.  There are also good interludes to move the plot forward.  It's a nice balance between sex and plot.  One of my favourite scenes is Fleur forcing Ari to have sex with her.  Ari resists and ends up with a week of constant blow jobs with no orgasm.  How does a man function with a hard-on all the time?  It boggles the mind.  The devilish kinky tortures as well as suggestive suffering under the lashes of a demanding dominatrix keeps the reader's arousal humming.  This entire book is super charged erotic.

What I like about the characters is that each of them are unique.  They are different pieces which combine to make the perfect kinky triad.  Their strengths are different which helps them become a stronger set.  They are also loving and loyal of each other.  Their protective and possessive traits come to the forefront when they dole out their vengeance.  Making sure their enemies pay in a horrific way makes me purr with satisfaction.  I like the way Ms. Knight devious mind comes up with suitable nasty punishments.  This science fiction erotica is highly recommended to kinky mnage lovers who like their sex with an edge.

I fall in love with this series more and more with each new story. In Seduced by My Doms, the author touches on some serious topics that worked amazingly well with the storyline. Tolerance of one's lifestyle; sexual or otherwise, is a topic that should be broached more and something we as human beings should learn. I got much more out of this story that just a panty wetting love story.

Liz is a nurse that only lives for her job. She's a stubborn woman and a great nurse. When a special patience comes through her ER, she finds herself learning about a way of life she'd only fantasized about. Meeting James, the Genesis DM, throws her for a loop and brings naughty thoughts she doesn't know how to handle but would love the chance to try. His presence awakens something in her and she's willing to explore it with him and learn the lifestyle she's only read about in novels. With a mutual attraction between James and Liz, they find themselves having a hard time keeping their hands to themselves. Their first time together was intense, sensual and SUPER HOT. Then in walks Ian and it becomes too much. James' friend, boss and mentor in the ways of being a true Dominant. Though having them both would satisfy her deepest desire, it's overwhelming and has her running in the other direction.

But Ian is smooth. A true and masterful Dom, he has a way of opening her eyes to the possibilities of what that exploration could really do for Liz as she learns what it is to be submissive and for James who's still learning to master his Dominant side. The three of them begin a journey that isn't just a start for Liz but ends up being something on a completely different level from what Ian and James have had in the past. Liz's submission goes way beyond what they could have hoped for.

The idea of a trio love is intriguing to me and Jenna Jacobs has a real knack of trio storytelling. Not only do her stories tell of such amazing love, but she uses those stories to enhance a reader's knowledge of the BDSM lifestyle. When I read her stories, I'm not just reading about a couple tying each other up. I'm reading a story about how they bond and explore each other on not just a physical level but on a truly soulful level. The depth with which I "feel" while I read is so palpable it's difficult for me to describe.

Another outstanding novel in this series.

With a market that is filled with steam contemporary romance and erotica that now have fully fleshed out storylines, there needs to be someone that stands out around all others that takes readers to the absolute edges of their boundaries  and possibly tumble them over it.

Jade West is an author that is not afraid to do just that and more with her Dirty series. Her latest story in the series, Dirty Bad Secrets, dropped this week and after having read this book, I can confirm that it is a story that is unequivocally explicit and extreme in both its storyline and sexual acts between the leading pair.

This is not a book for the faint of heart, conformists, or readers who are looking for a read that is fluffy. This IS a BDSM book that takes this practice and showcases it in the extreme. It is graphic in detail. It is not your modern, soft centred Dom and Submissive where the spanking is only sensual and just a bit of rough penetration that is frantic and needy. What I want to say is that I read a lot and not much shocks me BUT this book had my jaw hanging open at times.

This is a filthy read.

And I am a huge fan of this series and its extreme nature, yet this book missed the mark for me.

My problem  and it is just my opinion about it  I really, really could not stand Faye. I could not connect with her actions, inner monologue or the way that she carried on throughout the books.

She had a firm position, which I can respect, but her way of going about it rubbed me the wrong way. I have been trying to figure out what it was exactly that didn't resonate with me and I think that it was the negative conflict approach that she took that made it really hard for me to get into this book.

On the contrary, Andy was an absolute delight of an alpha, dominant male. I do have to say that it really was only because of his awesome character that I willed myself to read this book. Of course because I found it hard to connect with Faye I wondered why he was fighting so hard.

Jade West does an amazing job with the writing, it flowed to bring the reader into the story and commit to the characters. Her words were deliciously filthy. The one thing that Jade does so well is bring these explicit scenes to life in techni-colour. I will warn you again  the sex scenes are beyond explicit!

So while this book didn't get my motor revving as much as the previous books in the series, it still promises readers everything that they have come to expect from Jade Wests dirty Dominants and Submissives. Take note and HEED the warning  it is there for a reason.

Stories like this are a guilty pleasure! A great paranormal element mixed with an extremely passionate and sexy story. Loved it!

This was really fast paced, solid story from beginning to end. I immediately liked Callie. There's a great overview of who she is and what's going on with her that really pulls you into the story. I loved that instant connection and chemistry she had with Raine. Seriously hot and steamy! There was a fantastic build in learning all the paranormal details and finding out just exactly who Raine is and how he and Callie were connected. Loved how it was all laid out.

There were some emotional moments mixed in with bits of drama as well. Nice amount of intensity at the end. I liked it all! I really liked all the characters that were introduced and I wanted to know more about them, I was excited that the epilogue hints at more and I will definitely keep reading.

Excellent and passionate paranormal romance! I'm definitely a fan. 5 stars!
