Raven Harrington had a terrible feeling her marriage was over. Her gorgeous husband had no interest in being friends any longer, let alone rekindling the passion they used to share. For years they'd been the wild and kinky couple. Into S & M, sinful locations and naughty sessions of voyeurism that almost landed them behind bars more than one, for years they'd been the wild and kinky couple. But sadly, when Josh made partner at his law firm, everything changed. And Raven was determined to kick start their marriage and their sex life before it was too late.

Developing a nefarious plan, Raven threw caution to the wind. Donning fiery red underwear, a trench coat and leopard print stilettos--Raven made her way to Josh's office with one goal, to give him a piece of her body. Shocked but intrigued, the sexy blowjob under his desk while his coworkers came and went seemed to send his body into overdrive. And when his two colleagues witnessed Raven's shameless act, their own savage desires exploded. Unfortunately, Devastated, she almost pulled the plug on the rest of her plan.

Yet Josh was ready to give her more. When he took her to a rented room then tied her naked body to the metal railing while two hungry men on the balcony above witnessed their actions, their intense cravings took them to a molten edge of passion. But standing in the way was the truth and neither knew if their love, or their marriage could survive.


Michelle's Review:

Through His Looking Glass of Desire by Cassandre Dayne is a beautiful story of a woman who has decided to throw caution to the wind and go to extreme measures to save her marriage.

Josh and Raven used to be crazy in love with a wild and passionate sex life. After years of marriage they have drifted apart and barely even acknowledge each other anymore. Raven senses that she is about to lose her husband for good and makes up her mind to get back what they once had.

This is an outstanding story and I give it a rating of 5 out of 5. The writing is superb with realistic characters that I loved and could easily relate to. I was completely hooked from the very start and could not put it down until the very end. It’s a short story and only about 67 pages, so I was able to read it in one sitting.

This is a scorching hot erotic story that just might melt your e-reader, but it will also melt your heart. It’s a magnificent blend of sweet and hot, full of both burning passion and tender romance. It’s also a story that will speak to a lot of people’s hearts with a story that resonates so true to real life.

Cassandre Dayne is a very talented author who writes a wide variety of genres. This particular story is erotic romance in the true sense of the word. The sexy scenes are just a part of these characters’ story, and it is the story and the characters that will captivate and engage you. I loved every minute from start to finish and I hated to say good-bye to these wonderful characters when I reached the end. If you enjoy erotic romance, this is one you won’t want to miss.

Find out in, Revealed, the third installment in Lissa Matthews’ Masked series.


Emma's Review:

Revealed is third installment of the Masked series. You need to start at the beginning to truly appreciate this one. It's really a journey rather than serial type story. Thor and Bobby are both in unknown waters and they have both taken risks to be together. This is a great story and so very emotional. The sex is very hot but there's such a connection between the two. There's a sense of realism in the book. The author allows the reader feel all the uncertainty and wonder of Thor and Bobby's first sexual encounter. No perfect Doms or subs, just two people drawn to each other. Great read! When combined with Masked and Unmasked, Revealed tells the a powerful story about love and trust. I hope there are more to come.

Denise's Review:

The 18th Floor tells the story of an overworked Rocket Scientist Alexa and her journey with the very sexy IT consultant Sebastian.

After an encounter in the 18th Floor conference room Sebi as he is called takes Alexa on a journey into his world as a Dom.

Overall, I enjoyed this story.

There were some well written hot scenes, the story did develop beyond the sex but for me I personally needed more.

Sebi speaks to Alexa about how she must trust him for this relationship to work; but when it comes to key aspects of her life, like doing something that could led her crazy ex-boyfriend to her, Alexa neglects to tell him. This to me left me feeling like the relationship had no matured yet.

As an example of let wanting more Alexa buys Sebi as gift, the story tell you about it; then he uses it but you do not see his reaction to getting it.

Alexa also speaks to herself about herself and her fantasies but the book never has her telling Sebi most of them, I found this disappointing. I found myself wanting Alexa to fully trust Sebi, to open up and share her desires. So again a place I was left wanting more.

The BDSM was on the light side of the spectrum and Ms Church did a good job showing that Sebi cared about Alex and wanted her to see what his lifestyle was. There was a whipping scene but it did not involve the main characters and again the authors outlined Alexa's enjoyment of the scene and Sebi's desire to show her.

For me the story felt incomplete, early on Sebi says he would consider moving around less if he meet the right girl but the story did not tie that up for me.

I much prefer to see a happy down the road, this to me felt like happy for now and happy after a major incident. The ending felt a bit rushed and I was left thinking that's it, thats the end.

I will read another book by Ms Church as this book had potential.

Blurb:
Thirty-year-old English lawyer Emma Parkes believes Club Submission holds the key to her best friend's disappearance. Well out of her comfort zone, Emma's eyes are opened wide when she observes the Masters of Submission at work. They're so confident and sexually arousing—especially beautiful blue-eyed Master Zane.

Submission member and Dom Zane Anders frequently enjoys all the club has to offer. The wealthy, forty-year-old diamond importer has everything he could possibly need—everything except for love. A natural dominant, he's not looking for a permanent submissive in his life. But perhaps he'll make an exception for the stunning lawyer from London.

When Club Submission is plunged into a high-profile murder investigation, its very existence is put in jeopardy.

Can Emma unlock the truth, or will the devastatingly handsome Zane Anders, a Master of Submission, unlock her deepest sexual desires, instead?


Sam's Review:

Master of Submission captured my attention from the first page and I was able to complete in one sitting without putting down.

The plot is this. Emma Parkes has decided to move abraod to live with her best friend and set up a practice of their own. When her friend is nowhere to be been Emma decides to check out the local BDSM club, Club submission. There, she meets the Dom, Zane. Zane is instantly attracted to Emma and together they work through their attraction and try to find the key to her friend's disappearance.

This story was hot, intense and down right gripping. I've not read many of Jan Bowles's books but she's certainly an author to read. Master of Submission shows the BDSM world in an intriguing light. The chemistry between Emma and Zane is amazing. I loved how perceptive the author made Zane. He was a strong yet gentle character.

This story is a keeper. A really good story that is worth the time to read.

Blurb:
Jack Gordon is Ann Arbor's most delectable bachelor. At age thirty-five, he's made millions as a top-selling Ann Arbor real estate broker and has the right connections to close a deal by any means necessary. With his rugged good looks and compelling personality, he has a virtual black book most men would kill for and he uses it often, never settling for one woman for very long.

While his D/s past remains buried, exactly where he wants it, an undercurrent of boredom and dissatisfaction runs through his life now. A disastrous experience years earlier made him swear off the whole scene, but the more Jack suppresses his natural Dom, the more his frustration grows.

Sara Thornton, a rookie in the real estate game, has fast-tracked herself to the top of the Ann Arbor market. Her life reflects a disciplined and focused routine, exactly the way she wants it. However, as her career takes off, the fulfillment she seeks remains inexplicably out of reach. The one thing she knows for sure, she will not join the Jack Gordon groupies in her company, no matter how tempting that might seem.

A chance encounter, then a difficult transaction, throw Jack and Sara together and the sparks fly high and hot and often. Forced to confront the compulsions that gain momentum with each sizzling encounter, their relationship seems to spiral out of control until Jack finally admits what he needs, and shows Sara what she's been missing.


Denise's Review:

I tried a few things after Fifty... but the Realtors Series by Liz Crowe was the one thing I found that was a captivating! The relationship between Jack and Sara will draw you in... and ladies Sara is a successful women with her own career, watching her interact with Jack (an alpha male) is powerful. The other characters in the book are developed over the series, it is enjoyable to watch them all interact.

Meingee's Review:
This quick read gives us a nice look at each of these authors’ writings. Each author gives us a short and fast paced look at one of their worlds and there are so many different worlds to explore. There is something for everyone in this anthology from BDSM to vampires and all in between. I enjoyed meeting all the characters in this book and many of the stories had me wondering what more happens and had me seeking out more of their stories. This is a great way to introduce yourself to some wonderful authors and see if you enjoy their work. Some were familiar to me and others were new. Each author does a wonderful job of bringing the characters and their worlds vividly to life. Every story is full of emotion and love making this a hot read. I enjoyed my visit with these authors and will be sure to look for more books from them.

The Owners, 1

Cadeon Ashwood is a dominant man who has one problem: he’s overly possessive. When he meets Violet Moore for the first time, he knows she is the woman for him. The possessive instinct she stirs within him can only mean one thing—she will be the woman who owns his heart.

Violet is a shy young woman who is trying to make her way in the world, but she has a dark past filled with shame. She is constantly looking over her shoulder.

When Cadeon sees an opportunity to get close to the younger woman, he takes it with everything he’s got. She drives him crazy with the way she bows her head, and her innocent blushing makes Cadeon want her more.

For too long she’s lived without love and safety. Cadeon offers her everything, but will she live long enough to enjoy it?

Be Warned: light BDSM, spanking.



Molly's Review:
When I sat down to read this, I wasn't sure what to expect. Sure, I knew to expect sizzling hot passion, thigh-clenching sex scenes. But, beyond that, I just didn't know. What I did know, was that I had heard good things about Sam Cresent and was eager to check out the works! So, I jumped on this chance. The result? I really good one! From start to finish I was swept away by the intensity Cadeon possessed. I was in love with him from the start.

Violet is a newbie in Cadeon's office. The minute he sees her, he knows she's his soul-mate. The absolute one for him. Cadeon feels his desire boiling instantly to one of possession, rather than employer to employee. He's vowed to never have a relationship of any kind with his employees. But, after a year of sitting back and watching her, he knows he needs her nearer to him. The perfect opportunity arises when his personal secretary takes maternity leave....and he offers the gorgeous Violet the job.

Violet is shy and unsure of herself around Cadeon. Sure, he's never caused her harm but he intimidates her. She's happy doing what she's doing-passing out mail and coffee-so when he offers her a new position, she bulks at the idea. When she finally gives in, she finds there's more to it than just a new promotion. She can't get enough of the attraction she feels for Cadeon.

But, Violet has a past that is darker than you can imagine. Can Cadeon help her past that and show her a future filled with love? Or will Violet loose her one chance at happiness?

The writing style of Sam Cresent is awesome! I really loved every minute of this book and would read it again and again. The passion is amazing and the characters (all of them!) are chiseled in a wonderful way to blend perfectly with the plot line. Sam Cresent just become an author I've added to my favorites list and I look forward to reading more in this new series of intense sexual proportions!

Blurb:
Dark Night Productions is the place where the millionaires play. Here, whatever you want is provided: sometimes at a price. When Isabel discovers that her father lost a bet on a fight against The Beast, she is faced with two choices: let her father remain prisoner to the corporation, or take his place.

Little does she know that the owner of the corporation is also head Dom at his mansion, The Rose and the Thorne. She is plunged head-first into an erotic world of BDSM. What starts out as a mission to save her father soon turns into a battle for her will.



Emma205's Review:
This story was a quick and sexy rendition of the old Beauty and the Beast tale. In this interpretation, Alexander is not physically a beast but his inclinations and ability in the fight ring mark him as one. Isabel is innocent and feisty. She agrees to take her father's place after he loses everything to a bet against The Beast. Isabel intrigues and confounds Alexander. He finds himself breaking his own rules. Their interactions are surprisingly touching in a spanking, bondage kind of way. Although I would have like more detail about this world, this was quite an entertaining read. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something short, hot and kinky.

Selena Kitt’s *Power Play*—where those uber-hot alpha authority figures take full advantage of their status to strike up all sorts of sexy naughtiness with their subordinates!

Katie has a secret wish—she wants to be a submissive. She dreams of being a man’s sex slave—forced, bound, gagged, taken and used for a man’s pleasure. But single, sedate, librarian Katie doesn’t run in those circles and has no idea how to make that happen, until she sees an ad on Craiglist. Her friend, Lori, tells her it’s too dangerous, and she’s right. Her first Dom, Patrick, is woefully inexperienced, but thankfully, Liam interrupts his little brother’s attempts. And that’s when Katie locks eyes with the most dangerous man she’ll ever meet. Liam is a true Dom, and he wants Katie, perhaps even more than she wants him.

Warning: This title contains hot, steamy nobody-writes-it-like-Selena-Kitt sex between alpha authority figures and their subordinates!



Meingee's Review:
Quiet librarian Katie learns her lesson the hard way. After answering an ad on Craigslist for doing a scene with Patrick she finds herself in a position that she cannot get out of. Lucky for her Liam shows up to stop Patrick from making a terrible mistake. Once Katie meets Liam the sparks fly and the two must decide if they want to attempt a relationship of their own.

Overall I enjoyed this quick read. Liam is a great Dom and a strong man. Katie seems to be a smart woman but her choice of using Craigslist to find a Dom threw me off and put a bump in my enjoyment of this book. Not a safe thing to do in any world even a made up one. I loved seeing the trust and attraction between the two grow into so much more as the story goes on. The sparks fly between Liam and Katie right from the start and they burn up the pages as their relationship grows. Selena Kitt does a great job of bringing the characters vividly to life and pulled this reader into their world right from the very first page. The two make a cute couple and their personalities shine through everything that they do making this not only a hot read but a fun one as well.

How far would you go to save the one you love?

Pierce Hollister is a down-to-earth businessman. Most of the time. His romantic side has him secretly dreaming of Mr Right, a family and happy ever after.

Noah Conway is a single father who doesn't believe in happy families anymore. When his daughter's life is at stake, he would sell his soul to save her but as a sadistic Dom takes an interest in him, he sells his body instead.

A shared session at a BDSM club leaves Pierce intrigued and soon he finds himself willing to do anything in his power to heal the wounds that life has left on Noah's soul. When he realises that the very thing Noah dreads the most might just be what he needs, Pierce sets out on a mission – but maybe it's just not in his power to save Noah.

Will Noah be able to battle the demons that haunt him and find the happy ever after Pierce has dreamed up for them?



Molly's Review:
Holy cow! I absolutely adored this book by the talented Sage Marlowe! From start to finish, I was engrossed in this book and literally had it finished in one day. The characters among these pages are absolutely full of flaws and complexity. Marlowe blended this sexy men with a plot line that will blow you away. It's not a sappy love story....no, far from it. One of these gorgeous men comes with baggage and a past that will leave you reeling, and one of these men....well he adores the other anyway and wants nothing more than to prove his love.

Noah Conway is a 25 year old single father of a beautiful little girl. Trouble is, she's sick. He'll do anything, no matter what it is, to make the money for an operation. Degrading himself, he accepts money. His job? To be a Dom's play toy, accepting horrible pain and dealing with some terrible things during this time. All he can remember is that his daughter is sick and he's doing this for her. He won't abandoned her for anything.

Pierce Hollister isn't really into the Dom-sub scene but he browses his brother's club from time to time looking for someone he can get cozy with. Then he lays his eyes on the gorgeous Noah. It surprises him to see someone so alpha being submissive to a sadistic Dom. When the fates have him bumping into the sexy Noah again, he's surprised to learn he has a daughter. After the man is gay, right? Noah seems more the type to have an equal relationship rather than the one he saw him in last time, being used and abused by a horrible Dom.

What Pierce learns in his pursuit of the handsome Noah is so much more than he could have imagined. Finding himself falling in love with Noah, he's hurt when he catches Noah cheating on him. Through pain, tears and heartache, Pierce tries to move on. Trouble is, he wants a family and that family he wants is Noah and his daughter Pheobe. When he finds out that Noah has changed his life and moved past the pain of his past, Pierce wants to trust in him again. Can he? Will he find his one true love and family in Noah and his daughter? Or will his Sub-Mission goal be for naught?

I absolutely adored this intense, dark romance book. It's filled with heartache and pain, but it's more than that. It's about finding yourself, letting go and capturing the one thing that you want: love. Through intense devotion and utter support, Pierce is the perfect match for the independent pain filled Noah. This is most definitely a 5 star book that is high on my recommendation list if you are looking a for a m/m romance that will grip you completely!

Ruthless sex slave traffickers have set their sights on Leah Jacobs, a young American vacationing in Thailand. Unaware of the kidnappers’ net closing around her, Leah meets Devin Lyons, a sexy Englishman with a shared love of all things BDSM. After a sensual night of erotic exploration, the two plan to meet again the next evening.

But in the morning, while Leah’s on a shopping expedition in the streets of Pattaya, the slave traffickers spring their trap. Thrown into a dark and dangerous nightmare, Leah is held captive by a sadistic master, tortured and controlled against a backdrop of magnificent wealth and opulence.

Determined to get to the bottom of Leah’s disappearance, Devin finds himself up against dangerous forces that have a vested interest in making sure he fails. But Devin, with determination and connections of his own, will stop at nothing to save the woman he loves.



Sam's Review:
Sold into Slavery was a very interesting concept and as far as I'm concerned it did not disappoint.

The storyline is Leah Jacobs who is an American spending her vacation in Thailand. On her trip she meets Devlin Lyons. They spend a night together exploring their love of BDSM. The couple plan to meet again on the following evening. Leah leaves to go shopping and her nightmare begins. She is taken by sex slave traffickers. When she disappears, Devlin won't accept she's gone and goes out of his way to find her.

This is a very short story but one that will stay with me for some time. Claire Thompson made Sold into Slavery a really intense and thoroughly enjoyable read.

I found myself gasping when Leah was taken and then the situations she was in during her captive time. I like the way it showed her inner fight against what was happening to her. This helped with the strengthening of her character and the connection she felt with Devlin. No matter what happened, she knew he was going to come for her.

If you want to read something different that will make you nervous, angry and in places happy, then this is the book for you.

I thoroughly enjoyed this well written piece.

She wants the escape. He wants control. They both need love.

Jennifer Croft is at the peak of her career. As a bondage model at Altered Ego she’s become the crème de la crème of the fetish world, ensuring herself a top spot in her profession. The world is her oyster. Her personal life, on the other hand... It’s not pretty. Only her fascination with pain play keeps the ghosts of her past at bay.

After tragedy sends Daegan McKenna to the South for a much needed change of pace, the last thing he expects to find is a closet submissive hiding in plain sight. She’s hot-tempered and in denial -- a heady combination that brings out the dominant looking for a challenge. He’s already loved and lost more than one man should, but the haunted look in her eyes prompts him to make her an offer: he’ll indulge her darkest fantasies, if she’ll agree to give up control. Then he’ll let her go.

Unfortunately the past never stays in the past and old insecurities cause complications neither of them wanted. Soon temporary power play is not enough.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable:anal play/intercourse, BDSM theme and elements (including/not limited to bondage, exhibitionism, flogging, spanking, voyeurism).



Sam's Review:
I found Power Play an emotional and enthralling read. I didn't want it to end.

Jennifer Croft is a bondage model who is at the peak of her career. She appears cold to many but their are a select few who see past her hard exterior to the woman beneath. Daegan McKenna is a Dom and one of the men who see the submissive and caring woman in Jennifer. However, due to a really horrible child hood, Jennifer doesn't know how to love and is afraid to put all of her control into a man.

Eliza Gayle portrayed Jennifer perfectly. I like the battle she had not only with Daegan but also with herself. She had to fight the battles of her past to see what her Dom could offer her. There was a scene where her step-mother called and I had those moments when I have to remember my kindle can break otherwise a book would have been across the room. I think this is a pivotal scene though and really shows the growing relationship between these two people.

A fantastic read and one I would highly recommend. Loved it.

Blurb:
When Lia Constantine’s father dies suddenly, she’s shocked to discover he’s left casino debts totaling more than one million dollars. Unless she sells the family home, making herself homeless, she cannot repay the debt.

Under difficult circumstances, self-made billionaire Jake Benetti, owner of the Arabian Nights Casino, meets the incredibly beautiful Lia Constantine for the first time. As soon as he sees her, he knows she holds the key to unlocking his broken heart. He cannot allow this highly alluring woman to slip through his fingers. Caught between the past and the future, he makes her an offer she simply can’t refuse—until Lia repays her father’s gambling debts, he owns her, mind, body, and soul.

Lia is into the BDSM lifestyle as much as Jake is, but with their D/s relationship beginning to blossom, will the money drive a wedge between them? Can they ever find happiness together?



Sam's Review:
This has some really great BDSM scene that will have you melting.

Lia Constantine doesn’t know why casino owner Jake Benetti wants to talk to her. When she’s kidnapped and taken to his casino she soon enters in a nightmare with no positive way out. Jake is intrigued by the daughter of one of his deceased clients. However Lia’s father has mounted up debt within his casino and he needs to get it back.

Jake is a pure dominant but with respect for woman and Lia has caught his eye. I love the description of the way he feels for her and how the emotion develops within him. He’s kind and strong and I loved his alpha male that really came through. Lia is a strong woman as well as a submissive. I liked the difference in her character when she’s with Jake in the sexual sense and the everyday routine.

This is a wonderful story that is wonderful written and not at all predictable. I would recommend this read for anyone who enjoys the BDSM books with a touching romance that shows a build up.

Excellent reading.

When Micah Beaumont left Chicago for New Orleans, no longer comfortable as a third wheel in his ménage relationship with Mistress Olivia and her sub, Jude, he used his promotion as the excuse to leave. He fled not wanting his Mistress nor Jude to know the real reason. Mistress Olivia had made it clear from the beginning he was nothing more than a play sub. At first he’d been fine with the idea but after watching his Mistress fall in love with Jude, he realized wants to be collared by Olivia too, but knows it will never happen she had Jude.

Three months later, he’s settled into his new life in New Orleans. At the height of Mardi Gras, in desperation, he goes home with the wrong Domme in an attempt to forget. The next morning finds him tossed out of car at the entrance to a local hospital barely breathing. When he awakens in the hospital, he’s horrified to find both his former Mistress and friend at his bedside. His horror turns into misplaced anger when Olivia calmly announces that its time to come home. How can he return when he’s not sure if he can ever submit to her again and if he does how does he go back to being nothing more than their third?



Meingee's Review:
This is a wonderful continuation of the story of Olivia and her men. In this book we get to see what happens to Micah after he leaves Olivia and Jude. Micah believes that he is the third wheel in their relationship and finds himself in the hands of the wrong Domme and her sadistic submissive. The abuse that Micah suffers threatens to damage him forever but Jude and Olivia refuse to let him go and with the help of friends and family they will bring Micah back home with them and show him the love that he deserves.

Once again this author brings us a hot story full of emotions. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this whole book. I love the relationship that these three have formed. They love each other so much and are more than willing to fight for each other no matter what the costs. I also loved revisiting with past characters and seeing everyone join together like a family. Even Jude’s old ranger friend and his daughter have a special place in this book. We see this as everyone bands together to help Olivia and Jude protect and help Micah. As the three try to figure out just where their relationship can go from here they must also find out just whom the Domme is that abused Micah and why she is so fixated on him. Olivia and Jude will stop at nothing to show Micah he is loved and wanted. Earning his trust back may be a battle but it is worth everything to them. Their relationship is not full without Micah and they show him that with every fiber of their beings.

The characters in this book come vividly to life making this book is an intense and emotional read that should be in everyone’s library.

He’s changed everything . . . but she can’t change the fact she loves him.

Victoria refuses to let Ishmael intimidate her. She‘s faced with a choice. Return to her life of duty, or embrace her spirit of adventure . . . and sail the high seas with the man who has captured her heart.

Captain Ishmael’s demands are simple . . . . In exchange for his pleasure, and her body to quell his voracious lust, he will guarantee safe passage.

But, Ishmael plans don’t include giving up his lover so easily. And once he gets a taste of Tori’s sweet blend of innocence and boldness, he can’t imagine living without her.

Sam's Review:
This is a very short story, only nineteen pages but the author manages to bring you in to the fantasy world of a pirate.

Victoria wants her innocence to remain intact but she cannot deny the attraction she feels for the pirate Captain.

I don’t want to say much as this is a short story and so delving in too deep could spoil it for the reader. What I will say is it has a delightful twist, is really well written and even with the shortness the characters are wonderful.

A brilliant story.

Blurb:*

Tony Dartanion kept his private life hidden from the majority of the world. A decorated detective in the grittiest precinct in Philadelphia, Tony was hungry to make Captain and willing to do almost anything to get the title. Unfortunately however, the precinct had a "don't ask, don't tell" policy that enraged Tony and forced him to hide for years. In fact, his brothers in blue believe Tony's a card-carrying member of the chasing skirts and stilettos club. But the truth is, Tony's in love with a man he barely acknowledges outside the bedroom.

Tony knew his lover, Caelen Tomlin, was tired of being a dirty little secret. In the beginning, he and Caelen savored a highly erotic relationship and now, if Tony were being honest, they were barely more than friends. Realizing he was going to lose the golden haired model he adored if he didn't change his ways, Tony planned an event to remind Caelen exactly why they were together. With Tony determined to change his ways and meet Caelen's every need, who could have thought Caelen would refuse the invitation and that his actions would force Tony to make an excruciating choice?

Review:
Tony and Caelen have been a couple for some time now but Caelen is tired of hiding. He realizes Tony’s need for discretion but can no longer be the hidden secret. When Tony discovers this he decides that he will do anything to save their relationship and anything is just what he does. Tony takes them to a wonderful night at the club called Sealed with A Kiss, a club where anything goes. Will Tony’s attempt to rekindle the love and lust that they once had or will Caelen walk away?

Not only is this story a hot read but you are also treated to a romance. Tony and Caelen love each other very much and it shows in everything that they do and share together. Tony is a strong man who is willing to do anything for Caelen. The two are a wonderful couple, so devoted to each other. It was nice to see just how far Tony would go to show Caelen the depth of his love.

While this story has a good plot and hot scenes I had a hard time connecting to the characters making it hard for me to immerse myself into the story. I think that a little more character development would have helped me enjoy the story a bit more. Even with this I still enjoyed this authors writing style and will look for more stories in the future that may catch my eye.

In the Cards, by Cynthia Selwyn

Publication Date: May 5, 2011

One desperate writer, one hot cowboy, silk scarves, and sexy scenarios; it's all In the Cards.

Alexandrea Taylor writes historical fiction, not erotica. She can't even think the word…um…p-e-n-i-s. But she wishes she could. When her editor wants her to write a story about a cowboy and a bordello using a pack of sex-aid cards, she fantasizes about buying her dream home. Except she's sure she's too boring in bed to imagine erotic scenarios. She can't even keep her fiancé satisfied—she caught him in their bed with another woman. If it wasn't for her friend Zach, she doubts she'd feel attractive at all.

Zach O'Connor would do anything for his friend, Alex. She's the only woman he's ever met who doesn't treat him like a piece of meat. And now that they're sharing a hotel room at a conference, it's his opportunity to show her what she means to him. When she asks for his help with a sexy role-playing assignment, he knows this is his chance to show Alex she's not only the woman of his fantasies, but the woman of his heart as well.

With some silk scarves, massage oil and imagination, it's all in the cards.

Review:
In the Cards by Cynthia Selwyn is a charming erotic tale. Alexandrea Taylor is attending a romance author’s convention and has been asked by her editor to write a historical erotic novel. This endeavor should be easy enough for Alex to accomplish, but she has a hard enough time writing the “p”-word that describes a man’s bits and pieces. How is she supposed to write lurid sex scenes? Another concern that puts a damper on her creativity is the fact that she caught her live-in boyfriend (Ted) bopping his secretary in their bed.

No matter how inadequate Alex feels about her ability to write this historical erotic tale, she must go through with it because she has accepted the advance on the book. Plus, the proceeds from this venture will subsidize purchasing her dream home. Thank goodness Alex has her best friend, Zach, to rely upon when she needs him the most (literally and figuratively). He has been the one constant throughout most of her life.

Zach is sharing Alex’s hotel room for the duration of the convention. He is teaching one of the seminars on horses so the authors can write their western romances with more realism since they will have the opportunity to observe the intricacies of horsemanship. Alex’s editor and friend has supplied Alex with all the imaginative contrivances one would need for an erotic adventure and research. Thank goodness Zach is there to help her.

As the story unfolds, the reader comes to understand the depth of feeling and respect Alex and Zach have for each other. And even though they may have been “forced” into a compromising situation, their true feelings for each other are realized. Because of the intensity of feeling they share, the love scenes in the story are imbued with physicality and heartfelt emotion. Cynthia Selwyn has crafted a fetching short erotic romance.

Veronica Spelling was used to getting what she wanted with everything in her life except when it pertained to men. While she'd desired her best friend, Travis Hunter, for years, he was decidedly gay, had only been with a woman once and was in a casual relationship with their mutual friend, Jonathan. Masculine and perfect in every sense, Veronica's mouth watered for Travis. And while they'd admitted their kinky proclivities over long night chats and margaritas, neither Veronica or Travis had ever indulged their fantasies. Deciding to take matters into her own hands and kick up the heat, Veronica suggested a wicked wager on a game of pool one night. The prize? If she ended up winning, she would receive her wish and get to sleep with Travis. But if he won, she had to become his slave for twenty-four hours. As three kindred souls begin experimenting and enjoying a new life together, it's certain everyone is set to learn a thing or two about the art of submission and true love in the process. But the question remains, in the end, can they each go back to being just friends?

Review:
Friends Veronica Spelling and Travis Hunter's moment of hot sex starts in a semi-crowded barroom over a pool table and a bet. The first few pages of the book had me really following along closely as it was a tad bit confusing. The moments of daydreams, visuals and reality were not clearly defined at first. As the story went on, it did hook me in. The believable moments of having a menage and adding Johnathan was a nice addition to the story.

In the final chapter, I was again lost within the first page, as nothing was defined in the prior chapter about the three of them moving into a home together and starting life. The previous chapter had had the trio in bed, slamming each other, then the next thing you know, you're in a mysterious home wondering what was going on. The flow of this final chapter made me have to re-read it a couple of times.

Dayne's explicit sex scenes are well written, the dialogue is great and the characters are a perfect fit for each other. I just wish the flow of the storyline had been better planned and the early-on fantasies were more distinct.

When widowed, jobless, and about to be homeless Jake Maxfield inherits his Aunt Becky's home in Texas, the California native uproots his teenagers and moves. Still trying to rebuild his career after the mortgage crises, and to reconnect with the kids he's been too busy for, the last thing Jake is looking for is love. Especially with a man.

Cade Littlebear isn't looking for love either, but he and Jake have an immediate attraction that neither of them are able to deny. Just when they think that combining their lives and their teenaged families is going to be their toughest challenge, their very existence is threatened by narrow-mined bigots. Their determination not to hide who they are and refusal to live in the shadows only adds fuel to the fire. Can Jake and Cade survive and bring their lives and families together? Or will hatred win the day?

Review:
Inheriting his Aunt Becky's home in Texas is a God-Send for down-on-his-luck Californian Jake Maxfield. Reeling from the crashing mortgage scene and trying to rebuild a relationship with his teenage kids, the last thing Jake was looking for was love. And not just any love...love with a man.

That man is Cade Littlebear.

Cade, also not looking for love, realizes the attraction he has to Jake. Both single men are raising teenagers and know the difficulties merging families can be especially when you add in the hatred for homosexual relationships where they reside. After deliberation not to hide their budding romance, the men deal with hostility and anger.

Logan writes an amazing story of love, companionship and human kinship that made me want more. The determination and perseverance Jake and Cade displayed was heart-warming and realistic. The way Logan built the tension (both through the love Jake and Cade shared and the bigotry from the residents) was traumatic and down-to-earth believable. The passion, obvious racism and life dilemmas are so descriptive, well- dialogued and beautifully written. While it may appear the men fall in love quickly, in real life, this does happen. We just don't admit to it whereas Logan showed how easily it can happen.

Lynne had to videotape the supernova, hot sex the night she landed two men in her bed because she knew it would never happen again. Kurt is sweet and sexy. Troy is dominating and masterful. Both of her new lovers fulfill her better than her deepest fantasy man. How could she pick just one? Will it make a difference that they are both over twenty years younger than her? Will the flames of their desire burn out after this single night of passion is over?

And more importantly, can her new lovers pull together when it really counts and protect her from a crazy stalker trying to kill her? Only time will tell.

Review:
Falling for your younger male best friend is one thing, falling for a complete stranger at an Elvis impersonation concert is another. Yet Lynne does both, but doesn’t quite manage to share her feelings for the men in a timely fashion due to hang-ups about her age. This unlikely trio has an amazingly hot love life which becomes blazing after negative reactions to an older woman dating not one, but two, younger hot guys.

Ms. Lyons and Ms. Denis write an erotic romance that makes the reader want to be sandwiched between their two young studly heroes. While part of Lynne’s personality are a little hard to imagine for a forty year old, her character is full of vibrancy, emotion, and real life situations. The romance will have you cheering while the erotic elements will have you wishing. Super fun read for anyone wondering if they could handle two lovers who are so different.
