How can this wrap up in just 2 chapters????? Because You Are Mine Part VII: Because I Need To is the second to last in Beth Kery’s 8 part serial novel. It seems each installment is two steps forward, one step back for this couple. We finally see closeness and Ian opening up to Francesca. Then, the next morning, Ian… Read More
Seven Day Loan (also known as The Gift) was provided by Net Galley in exchange for a fair review. I picked up Seven Day Loan, The Siren and The Angel on NetGalley. They are all part of The Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz (click for reading order). Though this story takes place 10 years before The Siren (see my review here),… Read More
I received an ARC of The Siren (The Original Sinners) from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review. Knowing that Tiffany Reisz was a well known BDSM erotic author, I grabbed it. I knew her books were considered dark. I also knew there was a Dominatrix. That was all I knew. I was actually a little frightened to read it…. Read More
Because You Are Mine 4: Because You Must Learn is by far my favorite of the Because You Are Mine series so far. I was reading it and thought “now this is more like it!”, then proceeded to grab my husband with one hand and read with the other. Yes, I’ll admit it. I read during foreplay. When it starts… Read More
Holy moly. Poughkeepsie by Debra Anastasia took me forever to read. Normally that does not bode well for a book, but in this case, that wasn’t the issue. This book just felt very long, despite it’s page count. But it was a beautiful, unique story with so much that happened it felt like 3 books in one. (I was on a… Read More
Need (Finding Anna, Book 2) by Sherri Hayes was provided to me as an arc from Net Galley. Luckily, I was able to read it directly after Slave left off with a cliffhanger. I wish I can say the same for book 3. I can’t wait! In Need, Stephan realizes that he has fallen in love with Brianna, and she realizes… Read More
The Brie series begins with a free short read and then each subsequent novella is $.99. This is an erotic series, and each story takes about 45 minutes to an hour. They are good enough that you want to download more to find out what happens. The ratings also get better as the series continues. Make no mistake ladies, this… Read More

This review of Slave by Sherri Hayes is courtesy of my first ARC from Net Galley. I saw the title, the description said BDSM romance, so I grabbed it. THEN, I read the reviews and realized it sounded way dark for my tastes. Since I didn’t know the policy on getting a book and not reading it, I decided to… 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 won Sudden Devotion by Nicole Morgan at her blog during the Hot Summer Night’s Blog Hop. Not usually winning anything good, I wasn’t expecting much. I was more than pleasantly surprised. I loved this book!!!! When it started off with a very sexy scene, I thought it was going to be one long sex scene with very little story. I… Read More
While I normally dislike books where there is dishonesty and cheating, Chance Encounters by J. Sterling was different. What do you do when, even though you love your boyfriend so much, and he is the perfect mate for you, but you bump into a handsome stranger and have an instant connection like one you’ve never had before? Can you forget… Read More
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
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
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
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
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
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
I’m so glad I discovered this Julie James! Something About You (FBI/US Attorney 1) was a 4.25 for story and a 3.5 for Heat. This was a fun, romantic, smart, witty, hot, and had great, intelligent characters. US Attorney, Cameron, is getting her floors refinished and checks into a local hotel. She is awakened by the couple next door doing… Read More
A Table for Three: New York, book 1, by Lainey Reese was one sexy fantasy read! Not one but two gorgeous, rich, sexy, insatiable straight Doms for one woman? How can that not be good? Riley is brand new to New York with 2 weeks before her job begins. Her first night there she gets in a cab and asks… Read More
Law Man is the third in the Dream Man series (see order here) by Kristen Ashley. 4.5 for story, 3.5 for heat. Let me start off by saying I LOVE Kristen Ashley, and I love this series. That being said, this wasn’t in my favorites of her books, even though I LOVE Mitch. The book started pretty rough for me, but… 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
