Forbidden Temptations...
585792
In a small Vermont village, most-known for its private boarding school for the privileged children of the wealthy, and some who are there on scholarships, a scandal is brewing.

We see the story unveiled, piece by piece, in the voices of the participants.  First we learn of a tape, discovered by Mike Bordwin, the headmaster of Avery Academy.  It is a sex tape and it reveals the activities of some of the best and brightest - along with the unfortunate
appearance on the tape of a fourteen-year-old girl - which makes the action unlawful in the state of Vermont.

Next, we find Ellen, the mother of one of the boys, receiving a disturbing phone call, followed by a headlong rush to Avery, to learn more about her son's misdeeds.

Over the next several chapters, the voices include the boys, the parents, the girl, the girl friend of one of the boys, the law enforcement officials, and even journalists and researchers - all eager to peek behind the scenes and uncover the antecedents to the behavior of these
adolescents on one horrible night in January.

In cleverly paced story-telling, the author peels back the layers until finally, at the very end, we see how the events began - or so it would seem - with one illicit action between two adults, which set a chain of subsequent events into play.

Intriguing, suspenseful and haunting, this tale reveals how simple desire and need can lead to transgressions with consequences that seemingly unfold over the indefinite future.

Contemporary romance with protected sex.

 This one is kind of a fantasy. Sure, we'd all like a prince to swoop in & marry us. Especially if he's rich, handsome & good in bed (not necessarily in that order!). Of course, Chanel doesn't really know Demyan is a prince. He's trying to deceive her to marry him so his country will get the money that's really hers. Of course they get their HEA. How could they not - it's a Lucy Monroe!

 By the way - I hate the cover.

This is a reprint of three of Lori Foster's hottest most erotic short stories. They are gathered in one book for the first time.

Three friends make a dare when a porn shop opens in their town. They will enter the shop and approach whichever man seems to be interested in their most private fantasys.

What the friends don't know is they have been overheard talking about the dare. Now three different men who have their own fantasys are about to enter the game.

I enjoyed the book but I just want to let you know it is mostly about the fantasys of the participants. If you haven't already read these stories, they are hot.

Ultimate Pleasure, that's how I would describe this book. Oh my!! Be prepared to have your breath taken away (as long as your 18+).

Amanda has revised her seduction bible ''Release Your Hidden Temptress Handbook' so much that she has now gone from theory to red hot practice at a masquerade bar crawl with the aim to attract exciting men into her life, one night at a time. And so the temptress game begins, she soon singles out Mr Hot, who by the way has had plenty of pleasurable experience, and they take their love dance elsewhere until he suddenly stops and arranges a meet up the next day but why? She soon finds out that her delicious Mr Hot is her boss Mick, both have had serious hots for each other for so long without the other knowing. Now the truth is out Mick offers to give her the hard pleasure she craves while keeping her safe so no harm comes to her, with a 'no strings attached' for 'one night only' offer then back to the office Monday. Seems a fair offer ;-)

Let's just say that those amazing chapters were quickly read, making my heart pump that bit faster, I couldn't wait to get back to my, I mean Amanda's sexy training! BUT to tease us even more the 'one night only' turns into a whole weekend as Mick offers to also show her the real ways to seduce a man while staying out of danger, for the girl he cares so much about. More sensational hot reading to be had!

There's two sides to this instant hot blooded man, he is smooth, caring, gentle and affectionate yet can melt a women's heart in an instant as the words slide off his delicious tongue and let's not even get to the spine tingling bits. I was totally in awe and in parts I totally forgot I was actually reading. With a lifetime of hurt and sadness, no longer believing in love, switching back to reality on Monday is no problem for Mick, is it? And what about Amanda, when Monday comes can she really go back to her dull, loveless life after such a fantasy?

This has been an unmissable serving of strong tasting Love Pie and I am now holding my breath for the next one. I've got to say that Melissa writing the 'Release Your Hidden Temptress Handbook' would be an absolutely amazing addition and so much fun!

Fun read, well written, tight plot, interesting characters; book really draws you into the story.  Continuation of Welcome to Temptation, but it can stand alone as well.

Sanctuary by Eden Bradley

An innocent young woman ventures into the dungeons of a private club to broaden her erotic horizons. Devin finds herself thinking thoughts she has never had before. Mostly, her thoughts center around Shaye. Wondering what would happen if she goes through with them - where will they lead her. And how can she say no?

Sanctuary is a well-written story that draws you into the mind of a woman who has control of her life and who realizes maybe control is not what she wants or needs.

Wild Night by Jaci Burton

The owner of a swinger's club ignores her hands-off-the-customers policy when a certain sexy newcomer joins. Grace Wylde has her life the way she likes it. However, it does not hold any surprises. One night, Mike Nottingham walks into that life and shows her that maybe she has not seen or felt as much as she thought she had.

Wild Night is a well-crafted tale of two people learning that the games they have always enjoyed may not be all there is to life.

Purple Magic by Lisa Renee Jones

A daring woman searches for her lost friend in the hedonistic world of Manhattan's underground nightspots.  Jolene Morrison's best friend has disappeared. In her search to find her Jolene ends up requesting help from Drago, a Slayer. But can she pay the price?

Purple Magicdraws you in and makes you wonder, what would you do for your family? For your friends?  As well, it makes you realize you can meet your soul mate when you least expect it. It is well-written.

Exclusive is three well-written stories of women and men learning more about themselves and their boundaries. Each author took their story in a different direction than the others while still maintaining the same level of excellent writing. After I finished reading I sat back and realized that I could not choose a favorite. Each story was unique and steamy. I was left satisfied and yet wishing all three stories were their own book rather than part of a collection. I will be looking to find other stores by all three authors in the future. I highly recommend this book.

I very much enjoyed A Shot Of Sin and the characters the book is about

Shay is a sassy mouthed, strong women that is going after the man she wants..her boss, Leo. She broke down his walls one night in the supply closet but something pushed him away. Now Shay is determined to get him between her legs and figure out what Leo is hiding from her.

Leo is a some what complicated man. He runs a restaurant, A Taster Of Sin, a nightclub/bar, A Shot of Sin and a very secret club that very few people know about, The Vault Of Sin with his two best friends. Leo wants Shay but has to take into consideration how it will affect his fellow business owners/friends. See the Vault Of Sin is where people with very specific tastes go to "play". And Leo himself takes part in activities (add in the oh yeah factor here).

Leo isn't sure that Shay can fulfill his needs and hunger for what he wants in the bedroom. Can she? Will they try?....read to find out ;)

I must say I fully enjoyed this book. I loved the characters and the push/pull between them, I even loved the side characters as much. I can't wait to read the next book A Union Of Sin.

I would recommend this book to anyone that likes exhibitionism, menage, sassy women, alpha males, and a hot as you know what sexual tension.

Tempted by A Vampire is the start of The Immortal Hearts series and is very provocative. There are the two sides, one human and one vampire, feelings of being drawn to each other without knowing why. The vampire of course twigs first that she is his mate to be but the human girl is still very unsure of what is going on but however is so overtaken with her feeling for him that although she tries to hold back, she is not sure she wants to while he knows that he doesn't but is willing to wait for her. If only it was that easy of course. There many instances of well I could have seen that coming but honestly without them and the coincidences that are within the story, the story itself would no be what it is. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves reading vampire stories that are a a bit different and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

From back cover:

Are you ever tempted to quit and give up? Then you need to hear these motivating messages! Because we all get discouraged now and then. And when the temptation to give up strikes, it is important that we learn what is at the root of that thought and press on through to the finish!

These six powerful CDs from Joyce will teach you...
-- The anatomy of temptation and how it can make us stronger
-- How Joseph overcame his trials and became a determined man of God
-- Why we must walk in His ways and not just pray for blessings
-- The importance of "building bridges" and not "walls"

Remember, God has a plan for your life...and you will walk in that plan when you refuse to give up! Remain determined to stick with God in the bad times as well as the good. The reward is too wonderful for you to miss!

This book is Crime and Punishment for women addicted to fantasy, lying men and relationships that can never be what went but think we need.
Yummy. Could not stop until all the pieces of the mystery had been revealed.

Diana Quincy knows how to write a story. Will and Elle's reunion is darkly sensual. A dance of temptation lends these lovers into dangerous territory. License to Wed packs on the intrigue but delivers lots of seduction. I received an ARC of License to Wed in exchange for an honest review. I've found with Ms. Quincy one taste is never enough.

Be careful.  They are dangerous.  I wanted to eat one a day.  They are just too tempting.

From the back cover:

SOL - He Promised Her Forbidden Pleasures...
He'd nearly died in a foreign land, and in a moment of madness he'd married the woman whose letters had given him a reason to live.  But when Sol Standish faced his bride for the first time, he knew he should release her from her vows.  Mariah Garnet trembled when her husband stepped off the plane, wildly excited at meeting Sol, but deeply ashamed of the deception that had made her his wife.

Irresistible Temptations
Innocent, passionate, unrestrained in her hunger for the sensual gifts he offered, Mariah was a mystery Sol itched to unveil, but was her reckless courage strong enough to heal a man whose scars ran so deep?  Desperate for the trust of his wanton angel, Sol demanded the truth she'd kept from the man who shared her soul.  Could he make her believe he'd let no one take her from him, that she was his answered prayer?

I adored the LoveSwept series, and this book, by Olivia Rupprecht, was one of my all-time favorites.  I bought it in 1992, and despite going digital, I still own it - and to give you some perspective, my (physical/bound) book collection has gone from several hundred books, to only a couple dozen.  It's a wonderful love story and well worth the read.

The forbidden is sometimes irresistible! With a scintillating tale of submitting to your hottest desires, we're taken on a journey of reaching out for what you want even though it might not be the right thing to do. This series of books doesn't have a common theme, and they aren't exactly plot heavy ... they are more like deliciously wicked jaunts into desire, danger and a sexy little secrets! This particular one is deliciously fun!

Charlotte Daley has been on a tight leash for the last few months while her father's presidential campaign was at it's peak, so now that he's in office and getting settle in, she's looking forward to letting loose! She might have 24/7 protection, but that's not going to stop her from finding some kind of fun to get into!

Zane Parker has been one of the agents assigned to Charlotte for a few months now, and she's a handful! She's a bit spoiled rotten, but he also sees the sadness in her eyes when she feels her parent's neglect most of all. She's determined to get up to no good, but his job depends on keeping her in line until she heads back to school in New York soon. When her departure seems to be indefinitely delayed, he has to find a way to control the damage she can do, so he strikes up a little deal with her ... he'll give her the action she seems to want ... but only in exchange for her obedience!

How to a create a heartbreaker ...

Just ask Brenda Jackson. Stonewall is a prime example. He's a protector from his larger than life personality to his wicked good looks. He's the ultimate bad boy. A man with his own demons to bare and the muscle to hold back the darkness that hovers around one special lady.

Joy is used to fighting her own battles. Her job is to help others and she does that with the ferocity of a lioness. What happens when the lioness finds herself on the receiving end of danger? She just may get more than she bargained for. Locked in Temptation dominates from beginning to end. Joy and Stonewall are a power couple. Every step pulled me further into this seductively written dance of danger.
