I am not a fast reader.  Unfortunately it takes me a week at the very least to read a book from cover to cover, and that's when I REALLY like the book.  I can't believe that I finished this book in 2 days!!!  I just could not put this book down.  I ate with it, bathed with it, and did some other things with it very nearby.  I liked every page.  The sex scenes were descriptive and very hot.  And the story-line was very smart.  Think about it, one woman, two personalities, one a virgin and one...well let's just say she is NOT a virgin.  It kept me interested until the very last page.

Very steamy and exciting book.  The characters are very interesting and I would follow them into another novel.  The sex is good but not offending.  A must read.

This is a very steamy and well written story, so I hope you enjoy this read as much as I did. CD Reiss knows how to write a smoking sex scene - not all authors do.
Aspiring musician and waitress Monica is trying to get her band off the ground by playing small gigs. Meanwhile at her day job, Monica gets into trouble with her manager, but needs to make the rent. Can Monica get her dream of being a musician as she starts getting involved with Johnathan?

I enjoyed how Monica really cares for her friends and the cat-and-mouse interactions with Johnathan. CD Reiss had me saying, please I want the story to keep going. If part two- Tease is as good as Beg, then I will be very excited to read it! I hope to read more soon by this wonderful writer.

A Hard Habit to Break is a steamy, fun romance novella. This well written story moves at a nice clip and the author does an excellent job of letting the story unfold. As the story progresses, you are quickly drawn into Olivias world.  You begin to develop a real sense of her inner struggle between self doubt and taking a chance on something that might be wrong, but still feels so right. I am looking forward to the next story.

This was a great read over the last month of winter's cold grasp because it's steamy and exciting and a bit of a whirlwind. Definitely recommend for supernatural romance fans.

The characters are engaging and more importantly different. Not only is there a variety of characters and supernatural beings, but they all fall at separate places on the sexuality specturum. While the main character is bi and his love interest is closeted there is a wide variety of drives, desires and experiences that keep the cast fresh and interesting.

Speaking of desires, this book is hot, hot HOT. There is no skimping on bedroom scenes and they range from cool to scorching. But more impressive than the heat is that a good number of them drive the plot forward and are insights into the relationships between characters. All too often steamy scenes can feel as purposeful as a standard porn plot, but most of the time, GSK makes it work in the story's favor.

I wish there was a half a star option because I really can't in good conscience give it a five full stars for only one reason. While most of the cast were engaging, for me the most engaging characters were the side characters. I couldn't wait to see Nate's brother and the detective make their entrances. Their quirks and oddities had a smooth, logical consistancy that translated into ideal characterization and left the main players, especially the vampires a bit pale in comparison (hur-hur). There are definitely seeds of those in Nate and Ben, but I personally want to see how their quirky bits work with others. For example, while Gunn's personal...issue... practically defines his character and how he interacts with others, Ben's character barely seems affected by his supernatural state.

Long story short, if you're looking for a plot-driven story with some boy-love angst and hot smut, your search stops here. But if you're looking for main characters you can fall in love with, GSK's The Ugliest Sweater and The Biggest Scoop have more charming, endearing leads.

This novel was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. Instead of what I expected to be another titillating yet run-of-the-mill, steamy, BDSM-sex only story, I found this story to have a bit more depth, the characters and their issues more fully explored and the relationship between Dom and sub more fully developed.

Liz, our sub, is cajoled into attending a "Buy a Dom for a Night" charity auction being held at a BDSM club, by her friend and roommate, Connie, who, along with her Dom boyfriend, Stephen, are club members. Liz is new to this scene, intrigued by it, and curious to learn whether or not the issues she's had in previous relationships might have been the result of her unacknowledged submissiveness and her previous partners' lack of dominance.

When Liz sets eyes on Master Gareth, she's more than intrigued, and after placing the winning bid for his services for the night, he introduces her to his world, yet doesn't have sex with her, even though she's perfectly willing. And so begins her education into the lifestyle and her wanting more than one night with Gareth.

This is the point at which I assumed this novel would follow the standard pattern. It doesn't. Instead, Ms. d"Abo explores Gareth's past history, the loss of his wife and sub, Rachel, 4 years earlier, and his inability to move forward emotionally. Liz also has issues, coming to terms with her own needs and her own sexuality. Complicating matters is her boss, who's arrested and indicted for raping and abusing women, and the inevitable office chatter about how sick and depraved the BDSM lifestyle and its participants are. Is she depraved? Is there something wrong with her for craving domination? What does her sexual preference say about her? Is she a freak? Is Gareth? Could they possible ever have a "normal" relationship?

These are only some of the questions that are posed within this steamy tale, and I'm not giving away the answers, but I will recommend it, especially to those of you who are also curious about the lifestyle and were intrigued, but unfortunately misinformed by reading 50 Shades of Gray.

Looking for quick hot read? This story offers literary skills and steamy sex in spades. While we all know rape is wrong, let's not forget that it's erotica and meant for it's stimulating effects, and not as a commentary on whether "she wanted it or not." It's fiction. Hot, steamy fiction that accomplishes its goals.

Sierra Simone writes very hot and steamy erotic stories. They are not your typical romances. No, not for her. She takes her characters to the next level. And in American Queen, the steam dripped off the pages.

We meet Greer Galloway on her wedding day. The day that is supposed to be the happiest day in a womans life. But we quickly learn there are secrets and desires that are dangerous and can destroy lives weighing on her.

Greer has lived a bit of a sheltered life. At an early age, she learns about loss and how actions can have dangerous consequences.  Growing up in the world of politics, Greer is the perfect lady, with all the right manners and qualities required of her. However, on the inside, burns a desire for a man that is unavailable to her.

To some, Greer may come off as a push-over, but she was never that to me. She is her own person and knows what she wants. Giving someone control over you is not a weakness, if done correctly.

Ash Colchester is a hero and a leader. Revered by an entire nation, he resonates authority and respectability. He carries a nation on his shoulders, but also cares deeply and demands much from those he loves. When he meets Greer, the desire is instant, but she is beyond his reach.

As we read this story, we discover how Greer and Ash met. Then we are taken through the years to see how they grow and what happens to them during this time. Ash is now President of the United States and his close friend, Embry, is his Vice President. Greer and Ash find themselves able to finally discover what is between them, however, surprises and twist await them at every turn.

Love is many different things to different people. In American Queen, we find love can be found between more than one man and one woman. What do you do when desire and love connects you to another person as well?

American Queen was not what I expected at all, however, it surprised me and left me wanting more. I cannot wait to read book two. And that ending had me wanting to throw my eReader against the wall.  Definitely an enjoyable Sierra Simone read. You will not be able to put this down and there will be many unexpected surprises.

The book was biting realistic and sexually devious, but that was why I liked it so much. The kinky S&M that Alex Turner is into bleeds into his obsessions with young Elena, which sets up an interesting protagonists point of view. Alex makes no apologies for being the way he is, and unreservedly adheres to his all consuming need to be with Elena and play out his fantasies. A refreshing take that is usually filled by generic alpha males. Elena is a also a great character who, despite having a traumatic sexual experience, manages to find a thrill with Alex as their romance becomes more passionate with pulse racing sex. The writing by the way was beautifully done. The words just flowed, and the pace was fast and engaging. I really, REALLY liked this romance erotica. Great read.

I love the plot line and growth for characters in this book. It's steamy and I felt like it kept me on my toes! I've now read the second book and I plan on reading the third soon!

This is as hot as I can stand it and I can't wait for the next one. Like a lot of readers, I am curious and surprisingly intrigued by a lifestyle I could never embrace. While typically not a fan of novellas, these are worth the price. Ms Silver does an admirable job of developing her numerous characters. The heroine is convincingly intelligent. One likes her especially as she seems a bit mystified at embracing this lifestyle. This sounds a bit odd to say, but she has a good moral compass. While the storyline is nothing like Pretty Woman, I think you will like her and pull for her for many of the same reasons. In addition to the characters and the extremely erotic venue of a Fantasy Fulfillment Camp for the very wealthy and kinky, this is an intriguing mystery! If one could somehow extract the eroticism, I think I would still read them all. I just would not need the fan and the cold beverage. Writing is a big part of what i do and I have no complaints in this department. She also has an amusing blog with some pretty passionate fans. Check that out, too.

Desire is the first book in the Seductor series. In this steamy erotica tale Jade is a seductor. She seduces powerful and rich men for things like; blue prints, plans, pictures, whatever the job entails. Her job has always come easy. She's by nature a seductress. She seduces, gets what she needs and the job is one, that was until Oliver.

Oliver is a billionaire with a powerful job. He's everything Jade needs and shouldn't have. This should've been an easy job for Jade but something about the way he does her body and her mind turns the "seductor" into the "seductee".

Wilde is heavy on the steam in this first book. There is no "sexual stone" left unturned. The main character is a seductor after all. The writing was pretty well done. There were no messy hook ups or unbelievable clumsy rendezvous'. There's little world building but I think its done intentionally for the purpose of suspense and build up, as this is just book one in what is to be a series.

The characters are likable and the story is easy to read. There is a sort of cliffhanger at the end but nothing too drastic. It leaves you more curious than frustrated. I'm intrigued to see how the story plays out. Romance and erotica readers will enjoy this ride and be pretty eager for the next.

Yes - this is steamy.  The writing style is somewhat simplistic, and the sexy parts could be classed as porn.  But it is an interesting read and keeps your attention.

Ok, so there are some pretty harsh reviews out there for this book. But darn it, I enjoyed it and I'm not going to apologize for it. Was it a little far-fetched? Sure. Was the character behavior straight-up bizarre at times? Yes. Did I find any of the characters particularly likable? Not really. But, despite all this, or perhaps because of it, I thoroughly enjoyed this seriously steamy read. What might be considered flaws by some people are actually what made me enjoy the book so much.

Long story short, Jennifer's parents die tragically in a car accident. She makes a plan, packs up her life and her car, and moves to Las Vegas. Shortly upon her arrival, while relaxing in her bath tub, she finds herself face-to-naked body with Finnley, a sexy British man. He apologizes, flees and offers her a job if she's interested. When her original plan fails, she contacts him to see what he had to offer. She might have been seeking an accountant job when she arrived at his office, but she got a lot more than she bargained for. Finnley sells sex. Luxury. The fantasy. And he wants her to work for him. A hot virgin will pull a pretty price.

This book was basically one big power play. There were secrets, lies and manipulations. Though I suspected where the book would ultimately end up, I didn't have any idea the path it would take to get there. That was what was so enjoyable about it. The twists were most unexpected and really showed just how cracked these characters are. I mean wow. This isn't a book where you're going to fall in love with either of the characters and you'll never describe Finnley as "swoony." What he is, is sexy, domineering and a bit of a dick. The sexual tension between him and Jennifer was nearly immediate. They weren't supposed to want each other, but darned if that would stop them. The scenes between them were intense and deliciously naughty. I devoured this book in a matter of a couple of hours. It ends with a big reveal and a bit of a cliffhanger, so needless to say, I am eagerly anticipating the sequel, which releases later this spring.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
