Review:

This book was hot and made me think. I absolutely loved how Cari switched the point of view at every chapter. Getting to see and feel what Klaus was thinking and feeling was fantastic. It’s hard to get into the mind of a Dom. I always wonder what they’re thinking when they work on a sub. This was fantastic and insightful look into the makings of a new Dom. And then there’s Jodie, a strong woman who thinks she knows what she wants, to make a documentary on what it would be like to be kidnapped and be a slave. She got the slave part right even if that wasn’t what she’d initially intended. I loved how she internalized and was able to think about things the more she wasn’t allowed to talk. I agree….sometimes it is really hard to know what to say and when to say it. To have that choice taken away from you and to just BE .is interesting. The story got me hot and I enjoyed reading it so much I hated to put it down. Wonderful ending and a beautiful new couple!

Review:

If you are looking for a series that has as the suspense of a missing person story and an erotic thriller then If I Were You might just be what you are looking for.

The first thing I noticed about this book was the fresh way it was handled. Sara is a teacher that comes across the erotic journals of a woman named Rebecca. As she reads, Sara becomes more engaged in the journals, to the point that it becomes an obsession. When she learns that the woman whose dark erotic thoughts she has been reading has gone missing, it pushes Sara in directions she never thought she would travel.

Sara takes a job at the very museum that Rebecca worked at. Having read the evocative journals, she knows that someone there was involved with Rebecca, and as she slips into her new job, Sara’s own story really begins. The unknown element that haunts this book is in itself alluring. Match that with the relationship that Sara is beginning with Chris, a local artist and the tensions that she experiences at her job at the gallery and you have a recipe for a scintillating tale. Mark, the gallery owner is a character that turns heads. He has a dominant personality that clashes with Chris pretty much from the start.

Review

Erica get conned by her best friend into making a bet, which results in her going to Dangerous Liaison for a weekend. Conal is only training Erica as a favor for a friend, but ends up wanting to keep her.

I enjoyed reading Kinky Bet. This is a good story about a young woman that wants to explore BDSM, but has been afraid to take that step. The beginning of the story is very humorous in some ways, especially when Erica realizes the whole bet was a setup to get her to explore those feelings.

The story flows quite well, and I did not want to put it down until I finished it. The scenes are imaginative and the chemistry between Erica and Conal is hot. The author did a good job showing how scary it can be when you are just starting and learning depending on the Dominant and what you may be subject to. In this case, because of timeframes, some things were accelerated that Erica learned and was subject to. The checking about her safeword at each step and checking in that she wanted to continue was something I liked as safety was a constant subject that was brought up as well as the trust issue that subs need to have for their Dom.

This is the first book by Ms. Nash that I have read, and I am looking forward to reading more of her stories.

Review:

Contains spoilers, read with caution:

Sadie’s husband gives her the go ahead to visit and enjoy Sin Alley (a red light district type setting in California). He can’t perform as he once could but he wants Sadie to be fulfilled, if only for one night.

Sadie loves pain and pleasure. She wants to go to Sin Alley but only of her husband comes along. Davis agrees and she visits the same man she saw in passing years before (when they visited Sin Alley but did not partake of the pleasures).Tonight is different. Sadie will be “whipped and penetrated”, as Gamble the Dom puts it.

This was a red hot book! I loved the tenderness between Sadie and her disabled husband in the beginning and Sadie’s fantasizing about Gamble in the middle. Towards the end when she was tied to his cross and about to feel the kiss of his whip for the first time. I almost wanted to flinch.

I thought I recognized the author’s name and I have seen reviews of her other stories on Amazon. I think I will pick up a longer book for my next go. This was a big hit.

REVIEW

I like BDSM novels one of two ways I suppose. Detailed and realistic (as far as rituals and rules) or very hardcore, dark and demeaning (femdom in particular). This had a bit of both. Marcia is the owner of a fetish wear company called Skintight. She has her employees ‘filling in’ as the part of a full-time sub. How so? She does not want her peace interrupted at home so she dominates her employees with discipline and punishments they gladly accept.

She has an interview so the other POV in the story is of a woman brand to seeing how things are run. I liked that as well because we as readers are experiencing this Mistress along with the new employee. Quite nicely done!

I have read two novels by this author and I will read more. She writes BDSM in such a way you can tell she’s either had personal experience or done her homework. I personally know when a submissive enjoys BDSM on a certain level and can express it in words that reading it can be just as enjoyable as administering the pleasure, or pain.

Review:

What a delightful find! I absolutely recommend this one, no hesitation.

Lila has no idea that a surprise awaits her when her friend insists that she spend a weekend relaxing in a remote cabin. The surprise is Theo, an utterly gorgeous gentleman ready to take care of everything . . . including Lila. Even more surprising, though she hasn’t seen him in many, many years, she knows Theo: the sexy big brother of her childhood best friend. Now he’s back within reach, and is eager to give her pleasure – and pain – to help her relax body and mind. Awesomeness ensues.

Everything about this felt lovely. The setup, the setting, the way both characters were so sympathetic and well-drawn, and their chemistry with one another. Lovely. And the writing was excellent. Top notch, zero complaints, absolutely lovely. Lovely all around. I want to throw that word around like confetti.

The kinky content is on the softer side; there’s some light bondage here, some mild switching, some creative and very sexy use of found objects. (Bobby pin nipple torture? Been there, done that, it was nice.) It’s mild, but it’s made obvious that it’s difficult and a little scary to Lila, though she is by no means reluctant. That makes it as intense as a much heavier scene would’ve been with a different set of characters.

Some things I especially loved. . . .

Review:

This was a fun romp into the world of BDSM and polyamorous relationships with a funny, caring hunk of a Dom, a bratty sub and a bratty switch keeping the reader entertained.

Q has lusted after Sabrina for years. But while Q is admittedly bi-sexual, Sabrina insists she is straight and refuses to give in to her attraction to Q, although they are friends and roommates. The situation changes the night they go ghost hunting at a haunted mansion and run into Jude.

Jude is taking his last summer off before starting medical school and is refurbishing the old mansion. When the two girls come across his path, they begin a three way relationship that all are enjoying. Knowing Jude was leaving at the end of the summer, none of them planned to become emotionally involved. Can a straight sub, a bi-sexual switch, and a loving Dom have a lasting relationship?

I loved Jude. While he could be very creative with his playthings, he never did anything that wasn’t for their pleasure. He even enjoyed their brattiness-even when that led to his needing a safeword. Q invoked the reader’s sympathy, and Sabrina added a touch of lightness to the trio.

The book does contain bondage, whipping, flogging, F/F scenes, and F/F/M action.

A satisfying read by a talented group of writers.

Review:

Wow, this was a very hot book. Many scenes were described so well that I felt that I was in the middle of them. The author did a lot of research getting the scenarios just right and I definitely would love to meet any of the main men in this story.

There were a few words that were misspelled and a couple that were used improperly. The author should have written two or three books instead of cramming so much into one. I did enjoy the book and would absolutely read another by this author.

Blurb:

What begins as Clay’s first family vacation with his new wife quickly dives into disaster. He may be the submissive in their relationship, but he’s no shy violet. Bianca has taught him the quickest way to turn her on is a challenge, so he’s throwing down the gauntlet.

Bianca butts heads with not just her brothers, but also her husband when the family torturing begins. But the joke is on him. She’s ready to put him through the most erotic misery of all. She’ll show him who’s Dominant in their relationship until he’s screaming for more.

Their relaxing Paris vacation turns into a mad dash through the ancient streets, a competition of wills and a new exploration of what it takes to make their relationship work. From bondage, discipline and very public orgasms to navigating the Métro, family feuds and overcoming the language barrier, they’re going to redefine the word fun.

Review:

The Amazing Race meets family vacation. The only girl in a family of 4 siblings, Bianca is petite and her brothers tend to dismiss her competitive nature while being overly protective. With her husband/submissive and pain slut Clay the family race gets redefined as a time to have fun while still wanting to beat her brothers.

Review:

Jo wants Ted, but he wants nothing to do with her because he knows she is different and could crack his veneer. Joe goes out of her way to make sure she gets what she wants.

I really enjoyed this story even though there were some uncomfortable moments for me. There were times when I wanted to slap both Jo and Ted. Ted seemed to be insensitive in a few areas, and Jo, because she wasn’t willing to reveal her own issues that ultimately had a very big affect on both of them. I felt the author did a great job with how she handled the whole story. Be aware the issue of date-rape is addressed so be careful if this will trigger issues in the reader.

Be prepared for some very hot scenes between the two. The author did a great job of describing the scenes as well as some of the toys and the bed in Ted’s playroom. The bed is something I would love to recreate if I had room for it.

I did have to laugh at some of Jo’s behavior as it went a little beyond bratty. I did think Ted had some very creative techniques to deal with them. There were also times when I wanted to cry, but this is one book I got upset when interrupted while reading, as I did not want to put it down.
