I am in love. Yes, I have a total girl crush on Tara Sivec. Move over Christian Grey, I’m switching teams. I am ready to move near Tara and stalk her so I can be her best friend (and maybe lick her face a little. I love her that much). Or maybe it’s the characters she wrote I want to… Read More
… He bent his head towards hers and whispered, “Breathe, Faye.” Breathe, by Kristen Ashley (Colorado Mountain #4), left me breathless, (get it? bad pun, I know) like pretty much every Kristen Ashley book I have read. It’s no secret. I’m a HUGE fan. Her books have ruined me for many others. They are the perfect blend of alpha male,… Read More
The second in the Because You Are Mine serial novel by Beth Kery released today, (YAY!!!!) Because I Could Not Resist (Because You Are Mine 2). The first two in the series were given to me as an ARC by the publisher for review. This book is being marketed and compared to Fifty Shades of Grey as well as Bared… Read More
I received Sweetest Mistress by Skye Warren after participating in a blog hop in June. I finally began it yesterday, but never even read the description. As a girl who loves an alpha male in my romance, I was a little concerned about Wyle’s internal monologue, though it made me giggle. Wyle is so excited to get a date with this… Read More
Blue Jeans & Hard Hats Series Hot, Hunky, BDSM Handyman! I am a total sucker for a guy in a tool belt (especially one who can actually fix things!) Sweet Caroline (Blue Jeans and Hard Hats 1) See My Review Here Purchase Sweet Caroline at Amazon || BN.com || iBooks Cracklin Rosie (Blue Jeans and Hard Hats 2) See My Review Here Purchase Amazon ||… Read More
The comfort series by Annabel Joseph was not a quite a traditional romantic BDSM series. The three books are very different, and all are very well written. This entire series is a bit darker than my tastes run, but I still couldn’t put the books sown. 1-In the first book, Comfort Object, Nell is a professional submissive to a movie… Read More
I had to review both Sweat Equity (Stewart Realty 2) by Liz Crowe and Closing Costs (Stewart Realty 3) together because Sweat Equity ended with a cliffhanger, and you can’t read #2 without going right to #3. I have to tell you, these two books were the most frustrating books I have ever read, EVER. I will split up the… Read More
Yay! I loved Frenemies (A Girl Next Door Novella 2). When I read C.C.’s first book, Friends With Benefits, a couple of weeks ago, I was so excited that I was the first to review it on goodreads and second on Amazon. I felt like I discovered her (even though she found me). So when C.C. send me Frenemies, this time I… Read More
Nobody’s Hero by Kallypso Masters is the third book in the Rescue Me series (BDSM romance), and I think the one I most looked forward to. I fell in love with hero Adam and teenaged Karla in the first book, and I was excited to find out how that would work out for them. This series really needs to be read in… Read More
Kallypso Masters Rescue Me series is about a group of Doms from the Marines who open a fetish club together after the war. Each book is about a different Dom’s road to love. The first book is a prequel to the series, and is about three different men. This series is super hot with lots of good information on what… Read More
Masters at Arms by Kallypso Masters is a great start to the Rescue Me series. Beware, that’s what this is……a START. This FREE book is actually a prequel to the next three individual books. The book reads like an anthology until 60% through when the characters get together. All of their stories begin before they are shipped to the Gulf… Read More
Holy Sweet Nuts! I absolutely LOVED The Unidentified Redhead by Alice Clayton!!!! Are you PMS-ing? In a bad mood? Just read a depressing book? Do you need to feel good, laugh, smile, and just plain enjoy a book without angst? This is the book for you. This is definitely in my best books of the year list, and Alice Clayton… Read More
Scandalous is by a normally YA bestselling author HM Ward under the pen name Ella Steele, but this is an adult novel. It is a 4.5 overall (I could round up or down, in this case I chose up) and a 4 for heat. Had the story been longer it may have pushed to a 5, but it all happened… Read More
Sharing Pleasures by Victoria Dunn was a good, quick, hot little read! It was also, to me, very easy to relate to. Their ages and marriage (mid-upper 40s, happily married) are very similar to mine. I usually read romance, so it was actually nice and different to see a couple that is so happily married already enjoying themselves sexually even… Read More
Kristen Ashley has officially ruined me. No other books leave me feeling like hers do! I am so glad I have been pacing myself through her books. They are an indulgence, and need to be treated as such. If I read them all in a row they might lose that special feeling I get when I read her books. You… Read More
The Dream Man Series Reading Order by Kristen Ashley BEWARE!!!!! Kristen’s books are a little long, and so, so good you don’t want to put them down. My advice? Don’t start them at night if you want to get to sleep. Her books all have a similar feel. Each one of them so far have been “unputdownable”. While there are a… Read More
Wow! Gateway to Heaven by Beth Kery was a freebie! Christian is a hot rock star, Megan is an art teacher in his hometown church. Megan grew up extremely sheltered, and everybody treats her like she is fragile, except Christian, who treats her like a woman. Megan’s sister and mother (ugh, couldn’t stand them) do everything in their power to… Read More
Committed: An erotic Valentine’s Tale by Lissa Matthews. Matt and Grace are in an open relationship for 4 years. Matt decides he wants more and flies Grace out to meet him on a business trip for Valentines Day. This was a super quick read (like 15 pages) that included sex in a public restroom and hot hotel sex with a voyeur,… Read More
Liberating Lacey by Anne Calhoun is 4.25 stars for story. 4.5 for heat. I really enjoyed this book and read it in one sitting. I can’t put my finger on why it wasn’t a 5 star read for me, especially after reading so many great reviews. It may be because I just came off reading a book that was so… Read More
OMG. I abso-freakin-lutely LOVED Games of the Heart by Kristen Ashley!!!! LOVE-LOVE-LOVE!!!! So, I say this about almost every Kristen Ashley book (because I love them all) but this one, I think, may be my favorite. I loved Mike in At Peace, but I really loved him here. He is an amazing, protective dad, an honest cop, and a HOT,… Read More
The Burg Series by Kristen Ashley Kristen Ashley has a way of writing cool, tough, HOT alpha males like nobody else. Almost all of her men are good guys in security, policework or something similar. They are straight shooters who are old fashioned in many ways. They pay, they protect their women, and they always man-up. The heroines are… Read More
Updated April 2023 The Night Huntress and Night Huntress World books by Jeaniene Frost are my absolute favorite book series ever. Fifty Shades of Grey is up there too but I’m not sure anything could knock down Cat and Bones. You say you don’t like vampire books? Have you ever really tried? Bones is rich, impossibly handsome, strong, dangerous, controlling,… Read More
Love Unscripted by Tina Reber is one of those books that has remained on my favorites list despite reading a whole bunch of other phenomenal books since. I have also become her facebook friend and her sense of humor and creativity keep getting better. On to the book. Ryan is a MEGA star (I picture him like Brad Pitt). Taryn is… Read More
Cracklin’ Rosie by Lissa Matthews rates a 3.75 and a 4 for Heat. This is a short book, and the second in the series after Sweet Caroline. First of all, I hate the name. I know it is a song (but I didn’t till I read the book), but it turned me off to the book when I have seen… Read More
