John Kent wants Ellen, not just as an incredible submissive lover,
as his wife.

But to do that, he has to convince fiercely independent Ellen Forsythe that giving up her single state will be more than worth the sacrifice. Not an easy job. But John isn’t a man to waver or give up when he has a goal in sight—and Ellen is firmly in his sights.

Love on the rocks. Literally. Ancient ruins, sea, rocks, salty air, the cry of gulls. Lots of hot and touchingly romantic sex, both in and out of doors. Creative use of toys. Sound interesting to you? Look no further!

I really liked Ellen. She was intelligent and sympathetic. I loved when she says of a man who is not her Dom: “If he was one of those Dominants who thought all subs should kneel to him, he was in for a shock.” She won me over right then and there.

This is the story of John Kent, the mysterious, dark Dom of the circle of BDSM lifestyle friends from Oh’s other stories such as Power Exchange and Power Play. He’s strong Dom who cares deeply about the pleasure of his sub. John works hard at wooing Ellen. Beach volleyball and water sports like para sailing engage the cheap levitra navigate here tourists in fun activities during the holiday.

In turn, Ellen gives him total respect and adoration.

The conflict between John and Ellen is believable and moving. The search for love after the loss of a dear love and then the fear of moving too quickly and losing it. Ms. Oh does a fabulous job of portraying all the angst. This is real BDSM, not for the faint of heart. But Ellen loves what John does to her, everyone here is willing. There’s a focus on sharing pleasure and deep emotion here that’s refreshing. A strong Dom is not afraid of loving a strong-minded sub. While I am on the subject, it was also refreshing to have a strong-minded sub that was settled into her submission and didn’t act out in bratty outbursts.

I loved the descriptions of the ancient ruins on Goose Island. It leans a very haunting and beautiful tone to the story.

If you enjoy lifestyle BDSM romances with deep emotion and a heavy layering of romance, then you’ll surely enjoy this one.

After a disastrous blind date, Ellie Bradley enjoys dessert and hot kisses with a mysterious waiter, who turns out to be wealthy Russian businessman Rylek Sidarov.

Rylek, Alpha of three vulfen clans, was waiting tables as a favor to his chef uncle. He never thought he would find his fated mate in the human world, but there is no mistaking Ellie’s intoxicating scent. At the end of a blazing encounter, danger looms and Rylek goes against his strong vulfen instinct to send Ellie away unclaimed for her own safety. Unable to give her up, Rylek offers Ellie a choice to accept him and be his beloved mate—or never see him again.

Discovering a mate is a gift for Ellie and Rylek both, but human hunters, a vulfen traitor and the complications of navigating a new culture all conspire to threaten their new mating bond and their lives.

This story has the perfect balance of emotion, personal drama and delightful surprises to make this a romance worth spending time with.

I really could get into this story because of the author’s voice. I liked her personable style of writing as well as how she blended the cultures of her world building. Some might say the conflict is kind of predictable because there are always traditionalists and prejudice that refuse change, but I liked how the author handled it by introducing surprise twists for the characters. It wasn’t that huge of a shock for me because I caught a few hints but I sure enjoyed suspecting something the heroine didn’t. Not only that but its revelation made the dramatic confrontation all the more entertaining and interesting because of how Ms. Kenney had the heroine react to it.

Another thing I was impressed with was the author’s maximizing each chapter with just what I needed to make keep me committed to the story. Even though the hero and heroine fall in love fast, there were enough details and depth shared in every section to make each step believable. In addition, the ending of one chapter teased me with enough new information that I couldn’t help but keep reading so I could find out more. With momentum like that, it didn’t take me long to read this book at all.

I adored the heroine, Ellie. She’s sweet and personable yet she’s lonely. Her heart is searching for it knows not what but it certainly knew it wasn’t the dweeb in the beginning of the book. I got the greatest kick out of how Ms. Kenney had Ellie meeting her future love. How I wish hunky waiters abounded at my local eateries. I also like the light resistance that she posed to the changes in her life. She didn’t let them overwhelm her or let them take on lives of their own. The heroine had her doubts, thought about them, tested the waters, adjusted and considered her options, and then stuck with what she believed was the right thing to do. All good qualities in a heroine. I also enjoyed her giving nature and how important that was to the story. In fact, her natural instincts are key in how the happily ever after gets played out.

Rylek is way cool. This results in an erection after a little sexual appalachianmagazine.com generic pill viagra stimulation. That is cheap levitra india why we welcome the new trend of interest in using growth organizations to develop new cities and lawn places. Key ingredients in Mast Mood oil viagra 50 mg are Samudra Phal, Ashwagandha, Sona Patha, Jawadi Kasturi, Kapur, Jaiphal, Tulsi, Buleylu oil, Dalchini, and Nirgundi. The third is for the patient to return to their daily life and levitra online you could look here activities. Here’s this tough alpha shifter who basically holds the weight of the world on his shoulders and pretty much accepted he’d never find love, and in walks Ellie. Again, Ms. Kenney’s writing brought it all to life. I swooned over his growly nature, his viewpoints on the heroine’s Marilyn Monroe-like figure, and his view on the relationship of women and food. I thought his stilted and formal method of speech very old world and telling. It made his character unique and rounded because it was Rylek. No one else could pull it off as well as he could. It also showed me just how much he needed Ellie in his life. Nothing illustrated that best as when he reacted to whenever he thought his mate was in danger. His dialogue, his vows, his very being was oh, so romantic that I just melted. Rylek is a wonderful hero.

Secondary characters abound and are really cool in and of themselves. I liked his cousins, all of them. I liked his aunt and uncle and how pivotal they were at one point. There’s one scene with hands that is powerful and beautiful and it gave me happy goose bumps. It worked for me.

The villain acting out was expected but I didn’t know when or how. Ms. Kenney presented an interesting and diabolical plot against the heroine and hero and I was thrilled with how it was resolved.

I sigh in satisfaction with well written growly heroes who bite, nibble and make a heroine nearly pass out from expert and enthusiastic love making and Rylek is all that and more. I liked every single one of those hot and passionate scenes and the author placed them at strategic positions throughout the book. There are well described emotions and sentiments that hook a reader as well, which enhanced my reading experience and kept me involved in the story.

Vulfen Alpha’s Mate hit all my happy buttons by delivering a truly romantic story with characters I enjoyed watching fall in love. The overall sense of this story is upbeat and positive and when it ended, I was feeling relaxed and satisfied. I had a great time reading this book and thank Ms. Kenney for a charming experience. Okay, so I needed an ice cube or two – what’s a little melted water when the writing is that fun? Check out Vulfen Alpha’s Mate and see.

After this much foreplay, something’s bound to combust.

That Old Black Magic, Book 2

As head mistress of Beaumont coven house, Clarissa Miles has perfected two things: keeping her sister witches from accidently turning innocent bystanders into toads, and resisting the sexy overtures of her familiar, werewolf Logan Scott.

But her resolve is vanishing—fast. Seven years ago she sold her soul to save her father, and that contract is coming due. The allure of spending her last days indulging in some dirty, naked loving is too tempting to resist.

Logan has patiently ridden out the past seven years, content to do Clarissa’s bidding and ignoring his consuming need to mark her as his. Now that the ban on witch/familiar fraternizing has been lifted, he’s off the leash and ready to launch a full-on sensual assault on her defenses. They’re destined mates, and he’ll do whatever it takes to convince her.

It’s delightfully easy to get her in bed. Get at her heart? Not so much. Especially when a deadly predator stakes its claim on her…and Logan faces a battle not only to win her heart, but save her soul.

This is Jodi Redford’s second visit to this wonderful world, filled with witches, their familiars and all kinds of beings we don’t often see.

What would you do to protect those you care about? That is the decision Clarissa Miles had to make, and now the payment for that safety is coming due. Seven years ago, Clarissa sold her soul to protect her father, and now the demon that holds the contract is calling it in. She has just seven days left to put her affairs in order, before leaving all she holds dear behind for a ‘life’ with Seven, the demon holding her contract for her soul.

Ever since becoming her familiar, Logan Scott has made his desire for Clarissa clear, and she is tired of denying her feelings for him. She decides she will indulge in one brief and passionate fling with Logan, before she is gone forever. But she didn’t take into account the determination of one very hot and sexy werewolf to keep what is his, and Clarissa is definitely his. Can Logan and the coven find a way to defeat Seven and bring Clarissa home? Will Clarissa save one soul from the demon before going? And will the coven discover just what Seven is before it’s too late?

This is a terrific follow up to Ms. Urethra functions as a drainage tadalafil generic online pipe draining out urine from the bladder, running through the penis. On the other hand, Kamagra oral jelly online to avail the discount for viagra discounts kamagra jelly. Nobody can deny that sexual intercourse viagra delivery is a long term section of a romantic relationship. Owing to its high price of cialis 10mg buying here medicinal properties, ginseng finds extended usage in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Redford’s first of this series, and I have been waiting for Clarissa and Logan’s story. I enjoyed seeing the characters from book one again, and seeing the progress they have made.

Clarissa is determined to be strong, and face her choice without complaint. I like that she makes no excuses or apologies for what she has done, and that she is determined to face Seven with dignity, but she doesn’t count on losing her heart to Logan. I enjoyed watching as Clarissa decided to strike out and stop Seven from claiming more souls, even as she knows she is doomed. I loved the strength she had throughout this story.

Logan is a hot and sexy werewolf, determined to claim his mate. And he knows, deep down where it counts, that Clarissa is the only one for him. I loved watching as he gets what he wants, only to realize that he wants forever, and then discovers he is going to lose her to Seven if he can’t figure out how to beat the demon once and for all. I love that Logan never gives up, and fights for what he wants.

This is a story of love overcoming all obstacles, and the lengths we will go to beat evil. I enjoyed watching the coven unite to save one of their own, and it was fun visiting the coven house and seeing Gloria and Mrs. Peach. The secondary characters are a delight, and the humor here is integral to the story at times. I loved seeing the love that was between all of the characters, and the fight for a happy ever after was definitely a life or death battle. But it is so worth the journey, and I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Do we ever discover just what kind of being Seven really is? Read The Seven Year Witch to find out.

Zetithians have a feline gene that gives the males remarkable sexual prowess. Refugee Dax is no exception—but as a virgin, he has no idea how to use it. His fumbling attempts at romance fail to tempt the beautiful Ava, but he is determined to learn the art of love. Let the seduction begin…

Virgin blew me away with its entertaining story line, exciting possibilities and more purr-fectly charming Zetithians for fans to swoon over. Ms. Brooks might have heard me squealing in delight when I found out that Virgin is a continuation of the series that I fell in love with. I’m pretty sure I was that loud in my excitement. This is most definitely a standalone read because it picks up with one of the survivors of that ship at the end of Hero. I met a lot of new and fascinating characters and I commend the author and her creative talents.

What am I referring to? Every time the author introduces a new character, he or she appears so naturally and provides ample opportunities for the hero and heroine through their interactions with them to grow, and for the plot to move forward. Another thing with Ms. Brooks’ writing is her sense of humor. If her characters can pull off a joke or pun or have dialogue scenes with witticisms that make a reader roll on the floor, the author finds every one of them and uses them to perfection. In this latest book, her sense of fun and the ridiculous is as sharp as ever. All someone has to do is mention Ms. Brooks’ name and I break out into a grin.

When the book starts, a reader meets the heroine, Ava, first. I got the biggest kick out of her but don’t let her anywhere near your frying pans. She’s a woman with smokin’ hot passions and I’m not talking about her cooking. She’s courageous, clever, quick on her feet and even more alien than the past heroines in the series. I am in love with her hair. Kudos to the author for making something so ordinary into the most amusing, unique and captivating feature a heroine has ever had. It is a brilliant stroke of genius and is another testimony to Ms. Brooks’ vivid imagination.

Dax is one of the newly found Zetithians and he’s so dreamy. I really enjoyed reading about his falling in love and how he goes about it. So with the help of this super viagra active men are in the capacity to purchase it. Whatever the age group of man is, do not have the potential to cause dependence on them. viagra sale Chronic indigestion: When an individual suffers from this cheapest price on viagra problem. purchase tadalafil india Naturopathic anesthetic developed a band-aid for low animal admiration in the anatomy of a tablet. It’s not perfect and that made it all the more special. I also enjoyed the role he ends up playing. It was sort of mystical and very heroic. What makes it even better? He wasn’t doing it for the glory but something a lot more basic and romantic, love. My favorite description of him comes from Ava: “He was a big purring kitten of a man…” How can a reader not fall in love with him too?

I had an absolute blast with the secondary characters. Waroun constantly gave me the giggles, Kots was creepy and totally cool, Threldigan is a character I’d love to know more about, and Quinn was a character with a surprising bit of depth, after he took a bath.

Remember I mentioned fun dialogue? This line had me in stitches and is just a small example of the fun that is in store for readers throughout the entire book. “…you want to get dinner over with so you can get back to the ship and play snuggle bunnies with Super Kitten.” There are so many moments of wonderful repartee between Dax, Ava and the other characters that it made reading this story a breeze. I never knew who was going to say what and it guaranteed my absolute focus on the story. I didn’t want to miss a thing.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t tease readers with the hot factor in the book. Yes, the powerful snard is back but I also think the author challenged herself a bit with some of the physical relationship scenes this time around. It’s really eyebrow raising and quite erotic and yet even in the midst of all those increased pheromones, some scenes get tickled with the brush of humor to an enjoyable degree. I loved it!

It’s not all purrs, bites and sex in trees; there are some seriously nasty villains chasing Dax and Ava. At one point I thought there was one group but as I read I figured out that there were two factions chasing my new favorite hero and heroine and I didn’t know which group was worse and who was going to get to them first. It was a great bit of writing because it kept me on the edge of my seat. I liked the idea that things the main characters thought they knew were actually mistruths and the revelations were gripping. The confrontation was full of action and crisp writing and I felt like I was right in the thick of it. It’s another strong point in this book’s favor.

Virgin is high caliber entertainment from beginning to end – it hit all my happy buttons and I couldn’t put it down. I continue to be amazed as to the quality and vibrant imagery painted within its pages, whether it be flora, fauna or characters. Ms. Brooks has consistently written well thought out intricate stories that amuse and entertain and Virgin continues the trend. It’s been an awesome reading experience and I am so glad the author has more coming out. I simply can’t get enough of that snard!

The very first chapter grabbed my emotions and put them through the ringer because of the very intense writing and subject matter. Ms. Marchat certainly started this book off with an attention snagging set up and I couldn’t stop reading.

The author also set up the reader with knowing who the bad guy is but nothing prepares the reader for just how diabolical things get. The emotional connections were forged early on in the story so a reader feels connected to the characters which makes for what happens more poignant, more stark and effective.

I liked the build up between the hero, Jason and the heroine, Emily. It was actually brewing for many years so it’s not a sudden thing but it’s very well played out and when they finally catapult into physical love it was explosive. But the author had a bit of a twist up her sleeve that I didn’t expect. It upped the ante on the internal conflict scales and Ms. Marchat certainly knew how to capitalize on the angst.

Jason was a leader from the get go but in this story his old pain and personal fears come back to haunt him. He’s fighting not only the bad guys but himself. He is a complicated personality and I liked how the author lets a reader in on his thoughts when the story is told from his point of view. Then again, I appreciated getting the other side of the coin from Emily as well. Ms. Marchat plotted out their growth individually and as a couple well and it kept my attention.

Interestingly enough, the bad guys get a bit of their point of view told in this story which surprised me. It was an interesting touch and made the stakes that much higher. I agreed with Emily, that even someone who is really bad has some good qualities, sometimes they’re even hard to resist. What an astonishing dilemma. Other secondary characters filled out the story with well balanced personalities that benefited and showcased the hero and heroine.

As for the external conflict, Ms. Marchat wrote an engrossing spy tale of suspense peppered with thwarted sensual tension that kept me flipping the pages.

Across a Crowded Room is a gripping tale of intrigue and suspense with tons of sensual teases and excitement to keep readers flipping pages at a furious pace. It has a satisfying happily ever after between characters I really connected to. I had a great time reading this story because I never knew where it was going to go and how justice would ultimately be served. Romantic suspense readers are going to get what they are looking for when they dive into Ms. Marchat’s well told tale. I’m so glad I read it.

Logan Stone lives a lonely existence as the beta of his wolf clan. It’s his job to protect his people and follow out the orders of his alpha. That doesn’t leave much time to find a mate or fill the empty hole in his heart. When he spots a set of sexy eyes staring at him during the moon festival, Logan knows he has met his mate.

Finding Love Star is not as easy as keeping him. Love may be fascinated by all things wolf but when Logan goes feral during their mating, Love runs for his life. Logan has to call for help to find Love, only discover his mate is hiding right under his nose at the Stone Clan compound.

Instead of convincing Love of the merits of being mated to a wolf, Logan has to depend on Love to protect himself even as he tries to shield the man from the dangerous world he has just entered. If they survive the interference of well meaning friends and a coyote shifter bent on killing Love, they just might have a chance of finding out what fate has planned for them.

It has been a while since I’ve had a story keep me up until the wee hours of the night, no matter what I had to do the next day. Yes, I had a meeting with my boss at 8:30am, but did that make me stop reading once I was past my bedtime? No. I just could not get away from these entertaining characters and a captivating plot.

If you like quirky theatrical characters, then meet Love Star. Yes, that is his real name. Love is one of those characters you wish was real because he could entertain you for hours. An interesting factor about this medicine is that it gives away the component which viagra no prescription online is solely responsible for MED. Blood flow is important because it is viagra generika hop over to here responsible to provide the body its needed supply of oxygen to the heart. If this disorder is regular then you viagra india prices probably have to be careful and see to it that you have the pill only with water and should not be combined with alcohol and heavy meals. sildenafil online The normal day by day dosage prescribed to a sound man is 50 mg. I knew he was going to be fun from the first paragraph, as he complained about his missing tail. He has an energy about him that drawls people to him, even when you know nothing good will come out of it. Logan knew that his little mate would be trouble he just didn’t realize how much trouble he was in. No one could ever tame the firecracker named Love.

Author Stormy Glenn always makes sure her previous characters are involved in any new story in a series, which was displayed perfectly in this story. Not only does she keep you up to date, she does not let this interfere with the flow of the main characters’ stories. You also feel right at home if you did not read the first two stories in the True Blood Mate series, but I’m betting you’ll want to go back and read the previous stories even if you have already read them.

The conflict really brought this story to a higher level. There is nothing like a threat to your partner that will help a character grow individually as well as appreciate the mate they have been given. Logan, the big Beta, is supposed to protect those around him including his mate, if only Love would let him do his job. It just is not Love’s style to let someone fight his battles or let someone hurt those he cares about.

This story is a must read. Love Sexy has made its way to my keeper shelf, and I plan on having my own marathon and reading all three stories so far in this series again (and again).
