Touch Me Gently by J.R. Loveless
Reviewed by Droogie

I will start off by saying that this book is one of the most heart wrenching books I have ever read, and it is always at the top of my re-read pile.  And without a doubt each and every time I open its cover the tears start flowing.

I love this book for the fact that no matter how much crap and bad stuff that Kaden faced in his past. And as terrified that it made him, he still found the strength to go on. Ms Loveless won me over by the end of the very first page.  And has had me searching for, and purchasing other works by Ms Loveless.

I love the way Logan, his sister Shea and many of the hands, were able to help Kaden through some of his damaged past.  Their hearts were so open and willing, and never judgemental.  This proves that there are good people in the world.  Ms Loveless has a way of making her readers see the people in her stories as more than just characters.

I loved the fact that Ms Loveless helped Kaden heal just that little bit more by bonding with the damaged horse they saw that special something in each other.  I thank Ms Loveless for letting me walk through Kaden’s life, as sad as it was it was still quite beautiful.

Ms Loveless’ writing style was enjoyable and easy to read not only did the main characters grow but so did the story that revolved around them.  I found very little grammatical errors, and Ihave no hesitation in recommending this book for others to read.  My only advice is to have tissues handy… just in case you need them.

The cover was done by: Anne Cain.

 

I will end with my favourite lines:

 

“Young one, ain’t ya?  And a man, to boot.  That’s a surprise.  Usually he likes his cooks young, pretty, and female.  He don’t get out much, if you know what I mean,” the woman drawled.

“Leave the kid alone, Doris,” Charlie Snapped.  “And get back to work.  Don’t mind her, son.  She’s just jealous because he won’t look at an old hag like her.”

Men of Charlestown 2: Yummy Indulgences
By Andi Anderson
Reviewed by Droogie

Yummy Indulgences was a wonderful book and I enjoyed every moment of reading it.  It is book two in the Men of Charlestown series, and though it can quite happily be read as a standalone book I recommend reading them in order as character interact in each book and it lets you know a bit more about the wonderful men that inhabit this town.

Ms Anderson converted me as a fan when I first read this book and I have since had to go and purchase the rest of her works.  I love Ms Anderson’s writing style, and her characters always seem just like the guys next door.

Shiloh who owns Yummy Indulgences and Allen make such a wonderful couple and their love story is absolutely beautiful.  They each held qualities that the other needed to grow and Ms Anderson has done us all a favour by letting us share in their love story even if it was just for a moment in time.

Ms Anderson writing style is easy to read, and I had no problems following along in their lives.  Shiloh and Allen grabbed hold of my heart from the very first moment I met them and have still as yet to let go.

I found little to no grammatical errors and if I did it didn’t matter because the story sucked me right in and I forgot everything else until I had finished reading it.  I have no hesitations in recommending not only this book but the other books in this series as well.

Shiloh shrugged.  “I know we’re taking things one day at a time, but I kinda hoped that we were going to be sleeping together tonight.  But I’m okay with having my own room, too.”

Allen chuckled and shook his head.  “There is nothing I would like more.  I just didn’t want to push you into it.”

Shiloh grinned and had the horrible suspicion he was bouncing.  “You’re not pushing me into anything.  I want to be with you as much as possible.  Is that alright?”

Book Description: To Allen Garner it should have been another day. As a supervisor at a local rendering plant he lives a simple life. He’s kept his sexuality hidden from his co-workers; and now after 15 years working in the plant, he’s lonely and thinks he’s doomed to live his life alone. He’d just finished working the night shift, when his sister called and asked him a favor to meet with a local baker ,Shiloh Ballard, and pick out his parents fortieth wedding anniversary cake. He reluctantly agrees to go for her, and wants nothing but to pick out the cake, go home and get some sleep. What he doesn’t expect is that Shiloh is a beautiful man who immediately enchants him from the first moment he lays eyes on him.

The feeling is mutual for the successful baker. Shiloh can’t believe a strong sexy man like Allen would ever be interested in a rainbow flying, petite man like himself. Almost immediately, sparks fly between them and both men begin a whirlwind romance which soon develops into an undeniable love. But, problems soon start to arise for the couple. Because Allen isn’t out at work; they have to keep their relationship on the down low. The causes both Allen and Shiloh to wonder if their love is strong enough to survive any backlash they might receive from Allen’s co-workers and friends.

Morning Report by Sue Brown
Reviewed by Droogie

Morning Report was in my humble opinion exceptionally well written.  I enjoyed everything about this story from Ms Brown.  I liked everything about this book.  The strength that Luke and Simon showed towards everyone that was against them, made me want to applaud them both.

Ms Brown has a way of writing that makes you care very much what happens to the people in her stories, and you’re still thinking about them after the book has ended.  This to me makes a good book.  Once I started this book I could not put it down until I had finished.

Ms Brown made me realise that one person may be smart but the mob as a whole is utterly stupid.  I got frustrated and angry on the behalf on Simon and Luke, when the mob followed the ranting of one man.  This was how realistic this story was in my eyes.

I loved Ms Brown’s style of writing and her characterisation was absolutely brilliant.  I have yet to find anyone that didn’t fall in love with these two men. Even when they had their own troubles to face.

This was the first book of Ms Brown’s that I have read, but I will be going to get some other of her works. I like a story that tugs at your heartstrings and has you reaching for the tissues, as well as puts a smile on your face, or makes you so angry that you could just hit something.  This book had it all for me.  I have no problem in recommending this book for others to read.

 

The cover was done by: Reese Dante.

 

I will end off with my favourite lines:

 

“Keep your eyes on the road bossman.”

Luke gave him a smirk but obediently turned back to the road.  “Just admiring the view.”

Simon snorted.  “Nothing you haven’t seen before.”

“The only view that’s worth seein’,” Luke said huskily.

His partner opened his eyes and smiled at him.  “Should see the view that I get to look at every day.”

Book Description: A decade on from their first kiss, Luke Murray is more in love with Simon every day. Running the Lost Cow ranch for Luke’s parents, they keep their heads down and get along with the locals, even if Luke is known for being a hothead. Then one day they discover the local store owners refuse to serve them.

 

They’re bewildered until Luke’s mom tells them the new pastor has targeted the couple in his sermons. Suddenly Luke and Simon find themselves alienated from people they called friends, and their ranch comes under a series of attacks. As the town’s hatred and homophobia turns on them, Luke and Simon will face a critical choice: give in to the town’s demands and disappear, or stand and fight for themselves and their love.

Smashed Into Pieces by Scarlett Blackwell
Reviewed by Droogie

Smashed Into Pieces is the second book in the Clear water Creek Chronicles, and though it can be read as a standalone book, I recommend reading it from book one: Into the Light, so that you get a feel for the town and the people that live there.

Ms Blackwell has had me as a fan for quite a while now, as I enjoy the way her stories always flow so well and take you by the hand and lead you on a different adventure.  This book did not let me down.

Finn Austen and Sherriff Brandon’s love story was both sad and truly beautiful and held me captivated with every page that I read. The pain that Finn endured was heartbreaking and had me reaching for the tissues on more than one occasion.

I like how Ms Blackwell depicted the lives of these two men that came from such different backgrounds yet found comfort in each other.  So thank you Ms Blackwell for allowing me to spend time with these wonderful men.

I found Smashed Into Pieces to be exceptionally well written and easy to follow the story. I recommend that both books in this series be put on everyone’s To Be Read list, and if they are already there then bump them up to the head of the pile.

If you want a book that lodges itself into your heart and calls to be read over and over again, then this is definitely the right book for you.

I will end with my favourite lines:

 

Brandon squared his shoulders and tried not to dwell on the man’s perfect face.  “Are you drunk?”

“I’ve had a couple of beers.  I came out for a walk and…”

“You thought you would spoil an area of outstanding natural beauty by pissing on a two hundred year old oak tree?”

The man’s small mouth tightened.  “And you’re wasting your time by pulling me up for it?  Don’t you have doughnuts to eat or something?”

Rite of Passage by Bryl R. Tyne
Reviewed by Droogie

Rite of Passage was a wonderful book in my humble opinion.  Bryl Tyne wrote a book that stopped me in my tracks and I was mesmerised from the very first page.  I liked this story because even when I thought I had it worked out, than something would happen that would start guessing again and to me this makes a great book.

Bryl Tyne made each character so unique that you couldn’t help but love them all the slow romance that blossomed between John and Pat was beautiful to behold.  So different yet exactly what the other needed.

Bryl Tyne has led us through John’s life, and let us watch as he grew through his interaction with the other people in his life.  This just made everyone seem that more realistic, which in turn made the story well worth the read.

I think that the way John worked through his anxiety problems and let strangers help him, shows that there are good people in the world.  We just have to open up our eyes and see them.

The settings throughout the story were so believable that it touched your heart and didn’t let go.  I wanted to visit where this story was set.  I wanted to volunteer at the wolf reserve.

I love Bryl Tyne’s writing style, the story flowed beautifully and I found it easy to follow along without getting lost.  I have no problem in telling everyone to read this book.  I promise; you won’t be disappointed.  I found very few grammatical errors, which made this story all the more perfect to read.

Now, unable to write and suffering from debilitating panic attacks, all he wants is to start over someplace where dropping off the radar is the norm. Someplace he won’t meet anyone. A place where writing should come easy. Hence his relocation to Divide, Colorado.

 

Of course, John didn’t count on Pat Smith—or Pat’s determination and raw sex appeal. Pat has his sights set on winning John’s heart as well as his trust, and he’s making serious headway… until John learns the truth. Just how does Pat know so much about him?

Jump First by Charles Edward
Reviewed by Droogie

 Jump First, was a book that had me laughing nonstop through the whole story, it was one of those storylines that could not help but make you grin.  The blossoming of young love between Ryan and Heath is sweet and perhaps a little not so innocent.  I fell in love with Heat from the very first page.

Mr Edwards has done a wonderful job in creating such likeable and dislikeable characters. It kept me turning each page with interest just so I could find out what happens next.  I think that Mr Edwards writing style is very enjoyable and easy to read.  The story flowed to perfection.  I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised by his work and will be forward to reading more books by Mr Edwards.

If I had to pick one thing amiss with this book, I thought that it ended a little too abruptly and not all my questions were answered.  I would have liked to find out what happened between Heath and Marguerite, whether their friendship got back on track or whether she accepted Ryan’s lifestyle choices.  But that did not stop me from thoroughly enjoying this story.

I have no hesitations in recommending this book for others to read.  Mr Edwards makes this story a journey that the soul needs to help it smile for just a little while… so once again thank you Mr Edwards.

I will finish with my favourite lines:

 

Relief and happiness possessed me.  That is the only explanation for what happened next, cos I wouldn’t have had the guts to plan what I did.  When Ryan opened the file and scrolled down to show that every fucking word of it was back in plain English, I hooted loud enough to make Marguerite jump, lunged for Ryan, wrapped my arms around him from behind, and pulled him in for a solid hug.  I took a deep breath for a big, happy sigh, and the unexpected hit of Burberry cologne and Eau De Ryan hit me like a shot of adrenalin in the heart.

My eyes flew open in shock, and I saw the goofy look on Tippi’s face, just as Ryan chuckled and said, “Dude!  Did you just… smell my hair?”

Deefur Dog by RJ Scott
Reviewed by Droogie

Deefur Dog is a book in which one can lose themselves even if it is for only a short time.  You find yourself barracking for the start of a new family; this is such a sweet an innocent book, with just enough heartache to have you reaching for the Tissues.

Ms Scott has done a wonderful job in her portrayal of Jason and Cameron. They seem so full bodied and multidimensional that they could be the guys next door.  Their fears and angst are what pulls on your heart strings.  They complement each other so well; so well done Ms Scott.

I liked the way that poor Cameron had such a hard time finding the perfect person for what he needed and then when he did find him, he found him in the most unlikeliest of places.  I especially loved the antics of Deefur.  They say that children and animals see the truth in what a person is truly like and I am glad that Cameron listened to Deefur and little Emma.

I liked the way Ms Scott made the story flow so easily that I didn’t have any trouble following along.  I found it to be a pleasant and happy story, even with the touch of sadness it held.

Ms Scott has a beautiful writing style that has made me a fan and I look forward to reading more of her works.  I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this book for others to read.  I would even go so far as in saying check out more of her work as you will be pleasantly surprised.

Men of Charlestown 3: Daniel’s Dream by Andi Anderson
Reviewed by Droogie

I should start off by saying that I am already a huge fan of Ms Anderson’s, and have read all of her work, but I am especially fond of her men in Charlestown series and this book is the third in that line.  It is also the second featuring this particular family. And though you could read it as a standalone book; I recommend that to read them in order.  I am certain that you will love them all.

Ms Anderson had my hand reaching for the tissues from the very first chapter, from then on I just knew I was going to love reading the rest of the book as I reacquainted myself with my old friends Nick, Josh, and Daniel. I was still dabbing at my eyes by the end.

I believe Ms Anderson brings her characters to life in such a way that it would be hard for anyone not to like them.  I liked that Ms Anderson allows us to see through the hearts and eyes of all her characters

Nick and Josh are so wonderful in the love and caring for not only themselves but for young Daniel as well.  Ms Anderson has given them morals that should be shown by every human being in existence, which is what makes this story so believable and a pleasure to read.

Ms Anderson’s world of Charlestown is a place that I would very much like to visit, and I do, by re reading these stories as often as I can.  I hope that Ms Anderson will bring us more from her Men of Charlestown.  I for one will be keeping my eye out for them.  I do not even hesitate it telling you all to read these stories.

The story flows wonderfully and is so easy to follow. I love how Ms Anderson manages to fit so much into her short stories, yet I am grateful that she does.

Call On Me by Catriana Sommers
Reviewed by Droogie

Ms Sommers has done a wonderful job with this story.  I found the whole theme to be something that grabbed a hold of my heart and refused to let go.  I loved the whole concept of the unknown love between the two friends.

I think that the way Ms Sommers has portrayed Darshan as being alone even within his own family was heart breaking.  Because, it is so true to life in many families.  I loved that Darshan overcame this with the help of friends.  I loved the fact that everyone called Darshan; Shan, and Sal called him Dar, it was more intimate.

I think Ms Sommers has written the cross culture well, and showed that in people’s lives there are both the good and the bad to overcome.

Ms Sommers has written this tale so that it is easy to follow, and very understandable.  I may not have been reaching for the tissues, but, I sure did want to jump in and slay Darshan’s dragons for him.  To me that makes an excellent story.

Ms Sommers welcomed us into the world of these three wonderful characters and let us take a look-see and I for one am grateful that she did.

If I had to think of one thing I didn’t like about this story it was that I thought it ended too soon, there was still more I wanted to know.  Though, that didn’t stop me from thoroughly enjoying this book.  I have no hesitation recommending this book to other people because it truly is a beautiful story.

Three of a Kind Book 3: Full House by Jess Dee
Reviewed by Theresa

I can count on one hand with fingers left over the number of authors that can deliver a ménage story that is not only erotically hot but emotionally believable as well. Jess Dee is at the top of the list.

While I might have felt the pace of the relationship moved a bit fast, it wasn’t an unbelievable pace. I thought the characters needed to be together. Often I find myself rooting more for the men to just say the heck with it and run off into the sunset together in the “two men, one girl” romance, but not in Full House. I was actually praying the three of them figured it all out. Of course, it is a romance, so that prayer was answered.

Full House is romantic and passionate. You don’t want to miss book three in the Three Of A Kind series by Jess Dee. It is a must read in this readers opinion. While each book stands on its own, I recommend reading them as a series. You’ll enjoy them more!

Three of a Kind, Book 3

It’s been a long, lonely business trip for diamond dealer Max Ashberg. He’s missed his lover like crazy, and he’s come to the realization that he’s ready to take the next step: nominate himself to be Trev’s new housemate. Except when he gets to Trev’s place, there’s someone living in “his” room. A woman—with the face of an angel.

Six weeks shouldn’t make a huge difference in a man’s life, but in that time lawyer Trev Greenfield has realized two things: He wants much more than a standing Friday night “date” with Max. And he’s falling heart-over-head for his new housemate, potter Grace Miles.

Grace never meant to fall for Trev, but when a power failure turns their chemistry into live electricity, there’s no denying the spark. There’s also no denying the shock when Grace discovers a naked man in her new home.

With Grace poised to run and Max teetering between confusion and growing lust for the delicious possibilities, Trev has his hands full trying to hold the two loves of his life together…before they slip through his fingers. Leaving them all with shattered hearts.

The Severing by D.J. Manly
Reviewed by Droogie

The Severing by D.J. Manly was one of the strangest, and intriguing books that I have ever read.  Mr. Manly has done a wonderful job in taking us on a journey into the unknown.  I was fascinated from beginning to end.

Mr. manly is an excellent writer and what an imagination.  I wish I was half the writer he is.  This story was completely different to anything I have ever read before.  And his characterisation was brilliant.  Everyone was so realistic and multi-dimensional.

This tale was written in such a way that it was easy to follow, and had you guessing right to the end as to who the bad guy was.  The tale of Billy Conway afterlife was so well written; I loved how he interacted with both the dead and the still living.

Mr. Manly is definitely someone that I will be looking into for further adventures into his writing.  If I had to pick one thing to fault about this book… it would be that it ended… I wanted to keep reading; I wanted to hear more about Terrance and his ghostly companions. I wanted to know if the others found justice.  So my plea to Mr manly is please write further stories of those caught within the severing.

The world that Mr. Manly created was realistic and I liked the fact that within this world the characters grew as the storyline progressed.  The more you read about them the more you cared what happened to them.

Mr. manly had me reaching for the tissues in parts of this beautifully written tale of the dead.  It now has me wondering if this is what the afterlife is going to be like; so well done Mr. Manly.  I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this book as a good read.

Where The Heart is has everything needed for a hot erotic weekend. One cabin—check. A blizzard—check. No electricity—check. Three hot men—triple check. For a quick erotic read, it works, because the sex was sizzling. Unfortunately, the connection between the characters was not.  The “happily ever after,” felt forced and that ruined the story for me. For three friends that have been friends forever to move to lovers and committed partners all in one weekend wasn’t believable. As much as I wanted to just concentrate on the weekend itself, the future was too much a part of the story for me to ignore.

If all you want is an erotic read, Where The Heart Is has that covered but if you want something more meaningful, I’d give this one a pass.

Teaser: It was just supposed to be their annual ski trip, but tension and an argument, a blizzard, no power, and the threat of loss erupts into sex. Best friends Jason, Chris, and Steve will never be the same.

Then a blizzard hits and snows them in, and there’s nowhere to run from the feelings they’ve been ignoring for years. None of them want to choose one and risk the other, but before the week is out, they’re going to have to find a way to make the three of them work again. If not, they’re going to lose each other after all.

Rhiannon by Neil Plakcy
Reviewed by Eve

A short read in Untreed Reads’ Candlelight Literary Romance line, Rhiannon is terrific. It’s lean and well written. What I liked best was the hero’s the antithesis of romantic, yet this is a wonderful romance. I loved the vulnerability displayed by his love interest, who’s well rounded enough not to be wussy. It was a delicate balance and Mr. Plakcy handled it beautifully.

The story’s set in Miami, in August, and the author put in just enough little details to make me feel I was there with his characters.

I’m now a Neil Plakcy convert and would happily read anything else by him.

1-800-Dom-Help: Controlling Interest by Franesca Hawley
Reviewed by Gabrielle

Mozelle has been a great assistant to Torin’s mother and when Regine passes away she leaves Mozelle her shares in Torin’s club. Which, much to Torin’s dismay makes Mozelle the boss. Regine had ulterior motives when she left Mozelle her shares and hopefully things will come to pass, as she wanted them to.

This is another great story in the 1-800 – DOM- help series. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I came to love Mozelle and Torin. Sparks fly right from the start of this story and it only gets hotter as you go on. Torin may seem gruff or arrogant but on the inside he has a big heart. He not only loves but is in need of that love as well and Mozelle is just the right woman to give it to him. I loved watching Mozelle find herself and embrace her wants and needs. The two make a beautiful couple. The love that they feel for each other shines right off of the pages and watching their relationship bloom was a wonderful read. Not only is this story a hot one but you also get a great romance with characters that endear themselves to the reader.

This book had me glued to my seat and turning the pages to see what would be next for Torin and Mozelle. With characters so full of emotion and depth this is a book that should be on everyone’s to be read list.

Book Description: A book in the 1-800-DOM-help series.

Mozelle “Mouse” Vincent inherits money, a club and her boss’ son as a business partner when society leader Regine Stuart dies. Torin Stuart knows what his late mother’s wishes were for his exclusive BDSM club, Erotically Bound, but he’s pissed that he’s forced to trust Mouse—especially when her inherently submissive nature arouses the sexual Dominant in him.

After baring all in a heated, intense scene, Mouse realizes they still have to work together, but now Tor challenges any business suggestion she makes. When she wants to offer education classes, Tor dares her to organize the class and participate—as a submissive.

To his chagrin, Mouse agrees, but he can’t stand the thought of any other Dom touching her. Suddenly there’s far more at stake than the controlling interest in their club…because love is the ultimate prize in their power exchange.

Warrior Camp Book 2: Love’s Indecision by Joyee Flynn
Reviewed By Droogie

Love’s Indecision is a book that if chosen to could be read as a standalone story, yet I express the desire to see everyone read it in the series as the characters from all the books are featured and you get to learn just that much more about them.

I personally had read Book 1 Love’s Deceit first and fell in love with the characters so when I started this book I was so excited when it was the story of the Warrior Matteo Deminguez and the student Nate Hathus.

Ms Flynn takes us on a journey that not only lets us follow Matteo and Nate but we see bits and pieces of the others that you just know will find their own story further down the line.

Ms Flynn has created a world where you crave to be a part of it… where all the characters seem like they are your family… you are happy when they are sad when they are and just wanna slap them when they are being a dumbarse.

I must confess that I am a long time fan of Ms Flynn and have read all of her works that are published. I find her writing style to be refreshing and most often, and especially with this book I felt as though I was sucked right into the story itself.

Love’s Indecision and the rest of the Warrior Camp series are so different from her other works and to me that is the sign of a great writer.

In the story of Nate and Matteo my heart went out to Matteo he really held my heart in thrall. This story goes to show that even big tough men can get hurt and have to work through the pain and heartache that we normal people have to face.

I would have to say that mostly I love the character Rune and will be anxiously waiting for the day when Ms Flynn tells us his tale… I definitely recommend this book and the whole series to everyone. And I will be anxiously waiting for the next book Ms Flynn has published no matter what it is about.

I will end with my favourite lines:

‘I can see the look on your face dude,” Dimitri said as he took a seat in front of my desk. “Yes, you love Nate. It’s written all over your face every time you look at him.”

Book Description: Matteo Dominguez spent centuries performing his duty with honor and dedication, never letting anything sway him from his responsibilities. When Nate Hathus comes into his life as a pre-transition warrior, everything Matteo has worked for is put into jeopardy. Matteo desires Nate more than he does anything in his life, even his duties as a warrior instructor.

When Nate seduces Matteo, he’s helpless to stop the man, his heart and libido leading him down a path he’s afraid may lead to his destruction. Nate has yet to go through his transition and the feelings he has now may not be those he has afterwards. Matteo agrees to see where things lead despite Nate’s assurance that he will still care for Matteo no matter what.

But when Nate’s transition doesn’t go as planned, Matteo is faced with a terrible decision. Does he save Nate’s life and risk having a mate who might not want him? Or should he risk losing the only man he’s ever loved?

The Christmas Throwaway by RJ Scott
Reviewed by Droogie

I loved this book… the Christmas Throwaway was a book that tugged at my heartstrings from the very moment I started reading it. To be honest I purchased this book because of the guy’s eyes on the cover they just called out to me and said come listen to my story and so I did. Ms Scott has done a beautiful job in conveying the story of these two young men… so very different yet both wanting the same thing.

So many parts of this wonderful story had me reaching for the box of tissues, at the pain that Zachary Weston went through just because he didn’t fit into his families kind of normal… Zachary is one character that I wished I could take into my arms and tell him that everything was going to be ok.

Luckily Ms Scott has also written the wonderful Ben Hamilton to star opposite of Zachary. I was happy that Ms Scott wrote Ben so likeable, that he often knew just what to say to the broken young man that entered his life.

Ms Scott has brought to life one of the most common reasons that young gay people leave home the sad thing it is not often by choice they are tossed out into the big wide world and told to fend for themselves… reading this wonderful story I know many of you will think… what can I do to help?

I found that Ms Scott made Zach and Ben’s story flow so that I got caught up in their lives. I loved the fact that not everyone was accepting of the insertion of Zach into the Hamilton household… Jamie Hamilton’s reservations made the story just that much more believable to me.

Even though Ms Scott ended this book so that we got our happily ever after I would have liked for there to be another book… I would have liked the story to continue… I wanted to know more about what happened next in Ben and Zach’s lives and I wanted to know more about Rebecca and Ellie?

I will end with my favourite lines:

He lost it so quickly like a virgin on prom night, between one heartbeat and the next, his hands tangled in Zach’s hair and his words of apology swallowed in kisses.

Desert Crossing by B.G. Thomas
Reviewed by Droogie

Mr Thomas weaves a wonderful tale of a chance meeting between two strangers that changes one life to the extreme. He is gracious enough to take us on the heartfelt journey of Danny and Callum.

These two characters were really well developed and became so real to me that I felt that I was sitting in the backseat with them for the whole desert crossing. Mr Thomas has made Callum so alive that I know everyone would be feeling the same pain that he does throughout the journey…

I loved the fact that through just talking to the stranger he offers a lift to, that Callum works his way through the problems in his life and realises that the only thing that can make it better is him… he Callum needs to stand up and take responsibility and Mr Thomas has written this wonderfully.

The conflict that Callum faced was something that could happen to anyone in the world whether they are gay or straight, male or female… Mr Thomas has chosen to show us through his words that we always have choices. And no one can make those decisions for us, they can only help us along the way.

To be honest I read this story twice, firstly because it sucked me into the world of Callum and Danny just for a little while, and secondly, just because I could… I have no hesitations in reading this story again or recommending it for others to read. Though fingers crossed Mr Thomas would maybe one day expand this story so that we readers could see what happens later on… because I am left wondering if Callum and Danny ever get a second chance? I will definitely be looking for other works by this wonderful author… well done Mr Thomas.

I will finish with my favourite lines from the story:

“Your life can be whatever you want it to be.”

“Yeah right.”

“I mean it,” Callum insisted. “You control your life. No one else’s. You are not a book that is already written in and that cannot be changed. You are whatever you want to be.”

Taken by Nicole Austin
Reviewed by Gabrielle

When Danielle is forced to take some time off from her busy job she comes home to find and intruder in her house.  Even though she knows she may end up in a fight for her life she still cannot control nor deny the reaction of her body to her abductor. Danielle craves a little pain with her sex but her husband is a reluctant to give her that pain. What will happen now that she has had more of a taste?

 

Taken is a great story. I enjoyed getting to know Danielle and Mikael. The two are a strong couple and compatible in every other way. If only she could break past Mikael’s barriers when it comes to hurting her. Seeing Danielle’s reactions to her abduction was a great read. She tries to fight her reactions to a stranger but is helpless to her own body. During the course of this story the couple fights for their relationship and shows just how much it means to each of them. Mikael is a great man who wants to satisfy and take care of his woman but he must loose control to do just that.  Danielle puts all of her trust into him showing just how much she loves him and wants him no matter what.

 

Nicole Austin does a wonderful job of pulling the reader into this couples world. These characters were full of depth and strong emotions that heat up the pages of this book. Which made this a great read for me and will have me searching for more books from this author.

Book Description: A sequel to Erotique.

 

Bound, gagged, blindfolded—Danielle Romano has been taken.

 

Under the skillful hands of an anonymous stranger, the lines between fear and anticipation, reality and fantasy, anguish and carnal tension are blurred. The thin edge separating pleasure and pain has distorted, reshaping into something that confuses Dani while simultaneously stimulating the scorching demands of her body.

 

Forced pleasure may bring sexual freedom, but the violent lust Dani craves comes with a hefty price that may be more than her husband is able or willing to satisfy.

 

Reader Advisory: This story contains a whole lot of fantasy about, and a little reality involving, forced sex.

Angel and the Assassin by Fyn Alexander
Reviewed by Kathy K.

The first book that I read by Fyn Alexander, Precious Jade, was amazing, and I found myself lost in the world of BDSM, a world that I knew very little about and, really, had less interest in. It was testament to her writing as well as the ability to evoke strong emotions related to her characters that I found so compelling. So when the opportunity arose to review Angel and the Assassin, it was a no-brainer; imagine my delight—actually the thrill—when I started reading it and I found myself utterly and totally enthralled.

Angel and Kael’s story is far more edgy, detailed, and delves even deeper into the world of BDSM, and yet I could not put the book down… at all. There are some fairly extreme aspects, elements that are not run of the mill and so in this respect I will give a gentle warning. For some people it could well cause some squeamishness, but to be honest, I was still fully engaged. Between Angel and Kael it all works; it’s who they are individually as well as together. It’s not a facet that had me dwelling on what it is; Ms. Alexander makes it a beautiful expression of their feelings and their needs. And I was wholly caught up in the tale.

I think a big part of the attraction—actually attraction is much too tame to describe the extreme sizzle between Kael and Angel—is how meeting Angel completely changed Kael’s life, in just about every way possible. Having a ring-side seat to these developments was fascinating. There is something about being privy to what’s going on in Kael’s mind and heart; can you say intense?
And lest you think that this is all that there is to the story, let me tell you that the suspense relating to Kael’s career choice is also quite intense. All in all, Ms. Alexander did a masterful job of combining all the, rather diverse, elements into one cohesive and thrilling whole.

If you are a fan of the BDSM genre, I highly recommend Fyn Alexander’s Angel and the Assassin.  Truly, I cannot fathom that a fan of the genre would not be as captivated as I was. And I will go even further: for those who have ever wondered about the lifestyle—at least fictionally—then in the context of a sexier than hell romance I think that this will appeal to a wide section of readers; I really do.

Tamed by Emily Cale
Reviewed by Eve

Tamed has a great premise. What woman who works her corporate hiney off and has no personal life as a result doesn’t have an escapism fantasy or two? Especially one featuring a hot ‘n hunky cowboy.

For me, Tamed didn’t deliver the goods. The book is peppered with dropped words and spelling errors. The kind Spell Check won’t pick up on. “Utter” is used in place of “udder,” for example. Character’s names switch. Sarah becomes Lucy, and advice given by Jesse is later credited to Mark.

Mostly, I was never able to establish empathy for the female lead. Delia’s a practiced cougar, cruising bars to pick up disposable young men who she can have meaningless sex with then kick out of bed immediately after. She meets the book’s hero and is devastated because he’s got an extensive dating history. I like a strong, independent woman but her double standard had me rolling my eyes. She’s also unforgivably rude to Lucas. For example, he was asked by his employer to help Delia with her luggage. Delia flatly refuses and fires off a “I highly doubt that you are [a] gentleman,” putdown, seconds after meeting him. Her rudeness continues through the book, and she comes on to him at the same time. That kind of manipulation put me off.

While Tamed didn’t work for me, Ms. Cale’s premise reveals a winning imagination. I don’t mean to sound trite but practice makes perfect and I’d like to read something of hers in, say, six months or a year from now and see how her writing has matured.

Passion Next Door by Cara Carnes
Reviewed by Gabrielle

Autumn has listened to her neighbor and his loud monthly escapades for months now. Little does she know that not only can she hear him but he can hear her as well. Today she finds her neighbor coming over to introduce himself and invite her over to live out her dreams next weekend instead of just listening.

This story had me right from the start. Autumn is a woman who is not afraid to indulge in her fantasies. Her neighbor Kade is a great Dom who knows just what Autumn needs. I loved seeing their story unfold. The trust and love that they begin to have makes for a wonderful read. I enjoyed watching Autumn blossom under the tutelage of Kade and his friends. Autumn enjoys being a submissive and everything that goes with it and as hot as the scenes are in this story you can see the true feelings shine through in all that they do.

Cara Carnes writes a wonderful story of trust that pulls you in right from the start and keeps you entertained all the way through to the end. This is a BDSM story and contains strong play and sex scenes so if you are a reader who is easily offended than you may want to be aware before reading this book. I myself enjoyed this story and will be sure to look for more from this author in the future.

Any Given Sunday by Mari Carr
Reviewed by Eve

Number seven in Mari Carr’s Wild Irish series, Any Given Sunday delivers the goods in erotica and romance. The three protagonists are all about the angst, longing and big secret they each hide from the others. If internal turmoil is your thing, Any Given Sunday will definitely wow you. It’s a nicely wrapped up exploration of the emotional risks people who lie about their yearnings take. The fact that two of those principal characters are Psychology PhD candidates, parallels this nicely.

That said, if you like external conflict in your read, you won’t find it here. It’s alluded to, characters sweat over it, but it never goes anywhere.

The story flows well. The first half of the book was a little too angsty for my taste, but that’s just me. And that angst? It was perfectly believable and well done. Ms. Carr let us inside the heads of each main protagonist, which I loved, and there was never a moment’s confusion about who was speaking. This was especially important because I was using my e-reader and, with my eyesight, have to bump up the font size. That mixes up some of the line breaks.

Although part of a long series, Any Given Sunday stands well on its own. It might even intrigue you enough to read the other books in the series.

Breathe by Sloan Parker

I became quite the fan of Sloan Parker with the release of her first novel, More, which had me totally captivated, so reading Breathe was a must. I can tell you that Ms. Parker has grabbed my attention yet again. Breathe is a bittersweet novel that had me in tears. I will admit the story started out a bit slow for me—the first chapter or two didn’t draw me in as quickly as I might have liked—but it was well worth it to keep turning the pages. I was soon sitting on the edge of my seat, wondering what would happen next. I haven’t read too many books that kept me guessing until the very end but Ms. Parker did just that. Breathe is full of mystery, suspense and hot sex. And fair warning, Breathe is full-box-of-Kleenex type of story.

A Man After Midnight by Beth D. Carter
Reviewed by Sasha

A Man After Midnight is your typical weekend getaway fling that most people hope and foolishly pray that it turns into something much more meaningful. The connection between both characters works well for this story it is instant and hot. Almost right from the start the passion and heat ignites and we find both our leading characters in mattress heaven. Both characters are sincere caring people but lack a bit of fire. I’m not talking about in the bedroom because that fire they have. I’m talking about the chemistry and fire between both as people. To me this story has a lot of sexual chemistry and not enough of a true connection. I guess that’s why this story seems so real because as in life when weekend getaway flings do occur it is usually purely just sexual.
