Romance Book and Audiobook Reviews and Deals
When the author, C.C. Wood, of Friends With Benefits contacted me with an ARC, I wasn’t expecting anything great. I looked her up and found nothing. Well, now I feel like I discovered a star! I can’t believe this was her first book. I even had to add it to goodreads myself! I recommend this story for anyone who likes… 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
Favorite Dom/sub BDSM Romance Books See a more updated list in What to Read After Fifty Shades of Grey I love me some alpha men. I love a man who can take control in the bedroom. I like like to play in the bedroom and get fairly kinky. But I really enjoy reading about the more intense Dom/sub relationships. The… Read More
First off, props to the guy on the cover! Holy hell, what a bod! Very important: to get the best experience with this book, read the first: Masters at Arms. Nobody’s Angel by Kallypso Masters builds on the story started in the first book about Marc and Angelina, but also brings in a new character, Luke. In the last book,… 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
Many women who have been loving the paranormal romance genre since Twilight and True Blood (Based on the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris) are turning to contemporary romance with ‘alpha males’ and BDSM Romance since Fifty Shades of Grey came out. This can work both ways. If you read Fifty Shades of Grey, and all of the other suggestions… 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
I don’t want to give it away yet. But yet I want to scream from the rooftops! I am LOVING this book I’m reading right now! This author is totally up there with Kristen Ashley for me. I haven’t started smiling since I started this book. No angst yet, but I’m OK with that, since I actually laughed OUT LOUD… Read More
Easy, by Tammara Webber, reminded me of a cross between Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire, Flat Out Love by Jessica Park , and Slammed by Colleen Hoover. Considering those are three of my favorite books, that is saying a lot! (If you have not read any of those fabulous books, run, don’t walk to get them). This is in between a… Read More
Shayla Black’s Wicked Lovers series is one of the most well known erotic romance series. I read the first one and enjoyed it, but felt the price of $12.99 was too much to continue the series for now. But I may pick it up slowly, and the price drops to $9.99 at book 3. Here is the reading order: (links… Read More
I found Wicked Ties (Wicked Lovers 1) by Shayla Black on so many lists of top BDSM romance books that for the sake of the blog, I decided to bite the bullet and spend the $12.99 for the e-book, a ridiculous price for the first in a series. At least get your readers hooked before raping them out of their money!… Read More
I found and downloaded a few hot freebies last night when looking for a quick mood builder before bed. My husband didn’t want to wait for me to read one though! So I don’t have reviews for them yet, they are free, so you might want to grab them anyway. His Gift by Gillian Colbert- A 20 page BDSM romance… Read More
All of the people who love the same books as me loved The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher. I didn’t. I found myself on facebook, twitter & goodreads more than usual while reading this book. When I really love a book, I forget all social media and get nothing done (unless I go online to squee!). Because I was stopping and… 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
I read Flat Out Love by Jessica Park last summer. I have probably read 150 books since then, easily. But this book has remained with me as one of the most unique, special books I have ever read. 5++++ stars for story, 1/2 H for heat. Julie is starting college in Boston. When her campus housing falls through, she has… Read More
I have read two short Beth Kery books before this and enjoyed them both, a lot. In fact, Holiday Bound is one of my favorites. The author sent me a copy of this full-length book, Wicked Burn, for review in pdf format. This made it a little harder for me to get into, because I read on Kindle for iPhone,… 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
I’m reading Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley right now, and positively swooning over Tack. I pretty much swoon over all of her characters, but in this case, I’m thinking he is NOT someone I could really take in real life. Sure, hot and swoon worthy as a book boyfriend, but in real life??? Uuummm, no. Take Christian from Fifty Shades… Read More
I really enjoyed Noah, the first in the 5th Street series. I enjoyed Gio as well, but not as much as the first. 3.75 stars for story, 3 for heat. I had a hard time at the beginning of the story. I found myself on twitter, facebook and goodreads more than usual (usually not a good sign for a book),… Read More
Noah, (5th Street #1) by Elizabeth Reyes was a 4.75 for story and a 3.5 for heat (but not until the very end). 28 year old Veronica has spent the last 2 years taking care of her dying mother. In that time she has become depressed, withdrawn and overweight. Finally, her friend Nellie takes her to a local gym where… 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
I really enjoyed A Lot Like Love by Julie James. 4.25 for story 3.5 for heat. Short description: Jordan is an heiress to a billion dollar fortune and owns a wine store. Her brother, Kyle, is in jail for hacking into Twitter and shutting it down after his girlfriend broke up with him on twitter. Jordan is invited to an annual… Read More
