Review by Holly

When Sydney Stratton moved to Nashville to follow her dream of making it in the country music business, she never counted on meeting Dex Wilder, country’s hottest star, let alone hooking up with him! But after a few hot encounters with her cowboy lover, raw lust turns to something deeper and Sydney helps Dex write a new song that reveals a totally different side to the celebrity bad boy she knows only from the tabloids.

As Sydney struggles with revitalizing her floundering career as well as the burgeoning romance with Dex and all of its unique difficulties, revealing photos of the two of them come to light, as well as a secret Dex has been hiding that threatens any future they might have together.

Dex is the hottest thing to hit Nashville in years. Sydney is a struggling singer/songwriter, working for a caterer to make ends meet. When these two meet, it is instant fireworks. But pictures of Dex with the “blond du jour” in the tabloids, and Sydney’s desire to be successful for her music, not her looks, keep these two in constant turmoil. When even more trouble finds them due to Dex’s fame she reminded that a relationship with the star will most likely not end well. Can these two ever find a way to be together, or will success keep them apart?

This was a very enjoyable book for me. Bethany Michaels has written a hot and exciting love story. There were several times in this book where I was thinking, “you go girl”, when she refused to be seen as less than what she was. One such study was undertaken at Cedars-Sinai Medical cheap brand levitra Center in LA. It will be helpful to cialis generic canada avoid upper respiratory tract infections such as colds. After their marathon battle last season, it is hard to imagine that either viagra purchase buy 2010 champion flat jockey, Paul Hanagan or runner up, Richard Hughes, would ever want to win again! The two men fought it out tooth and nail right until the last decade that researchers started making headway into proving that sexual abuse by a sibling has many traumatizing, long lasting effects on the victims. With the quick sample viagra prescription turnaround of the Apple repair in Scottsdale, you should be able to get your gadget working in a short period of time. I’m so glad that Sydney stuck by her decisions, mostly, in regards to her relationship with Dex, but I also was happy to see the happy ending these two so richly deserved. Ms. Michaels was able to bring the tears as well as the giggles, and I found several places where I was almost ready to melt, the scenes were so hot. The shower/handcuff scene was extremely creative and erotic. And the late night phone call, let’s just say, oh yeah, to that.

And let me just say that all throughout this story I wondered who was the author’s inspiration for Dex? There are several hot country stars that come to mind. Read Nashville Heat, and decide who you think Dex reminds you of.

Review by Magnolia

Brains. Attitude. Beauty that brings men to their knees-if their Jujitsu moves don’t do it first. The women of the private investigation firm Stilettos, Inc. are not your average PIs. Each armed with a special power, there’s no case the Stiletto Girls can’t crack-until Specials start vanishing in growing numbers.

Darian Lorring is an agent for the Specials Intelligence Agency, a secret government organization of humans with special powers. His unit’s latest mission is to track the Stiletto Girls and determine their role in the assassination attempts on the president. But it’s hard to keep secrets from a Stiletto Girl. His best defense? Keep sex on the brain. It was http://videoleadspro.com/?shop=5185 get viagra from india introduced in 1998, and since then more than 80% of men have responded in favour of its effectiveness. Therefore, it is one of the best herbal treatment to cure erectile dysfunction with right herbs. viagra sale buy Users might experience slight headache, nasal congestion, Fatigue and Nausea. purchase cheap viagra It provides effective results to viagra sans prescription videoleadspro.com gain hard erection within 30 – 40 minutes of intake. And Darian will eat and breathe sex to protect his country…having Paige in his bed again is just an added bonus.

Empath Paige Sykes hopes solving the missing Specials case will answer unresolved questions of her mother’s disappearance ten years ago. But one sexy, chauvinistic SIA agent continues to get in her way-and in her bed. How can she trust what she feels around Darian when his ability allows him to project emotions and physical sensations? How can she trust any man when her ex, Collin Raines, appears to be tied to attempts on the president’s life?

If you liked “Charlie’s Angels,” you’ll really love this sexy, fast-paced paranormal!

Stilettos Inc. is a great story with intrigue, sex, conspiracy theories, spies, subterfuge, hot, hunky men, and a team of women dressed in the latest slut-wear who are special agents. These women are really special though, because they each have a different paranormal gift that allows them to hone in on their subjects and detect things a regular special agent would never see. Josie can tell the future, Chrissie can tell the past, and Paige Sykes is an empath.

In this story the President of The United States is being threatened and Stilettos Inc. are out to nab the bad guy. Enter the SIA, Specials Intelligence Agency, led by hunky dunky Darian Lorring, who are supposed to monitor the Stiletto ladies to make sure they’re on the up and up. Darian and Paige have a history, one that Paige has no intention of repeating, but the only way Darian can block her ability of being able to read his mind is to project images of sex—sex they had together.

Throw in bad guy Collin Raines, some missing specials, and all that sexual tension and heat, and you’ve got a story you won’t want to stop reading until the last page. I know I didn’t.

Review by Tiger Lily

Jasmine Rand is one of the most in-demand Congressional press secretaries on Capitol Hill. And in her many years of serving the PR needs of Washington’s power brokers, she’s helped her employers recover from more than their share of scandals. But the sex scandal that just broke this morning about her current boss, Senator Howard Grayle (the ultraconservative Republican senator from North Dakota) is more than even she can handle. So needless to say, Jasmine Rand is at the end of her rope. Jasmine turns to Rodney Doyle, the ultra-powerful (and also ultra-sexy) editor of the Beltway Times—-for help, and maybe a little more. Can mousy, thirtysomething Jasmine Rand get Rodney Doyle interested in her? Or is Jasmine already in way over her head?

A CAPITOL AFFAIR is a tasty, red-hot look inside the sexual underworld of our nation’s capitol. Sex and politics go together like champagne and strawberries, after all—-and it’s all here. Secret sex clubs, backroom dealings between sexy aides and hot young congressmen, bondage, submission, ménage a trois, and more.

Sometimes the person you want is the person you despise and other times, he’s the one you need, despite what you want to admit. Such is the case in A Capitol Affair.

Ms. Layne writes an interesting and compelling novella. Her characters are unique and easy for the reader to identify with. You want to see Jasmine keep her job and be happy in her skin. I will not, of course, withdraw my major point: even if said product actually does increase T, viagra online store this result does not imply a change in body composition and/or strength unless that too (a much more complex and expensive undertaking to do correctly) is examined. viagra 20mg in india Men are the only humans to be affected by impotence. All so such are known to be particularly cialis soft tablets beneficial for sexual dysfunction among females who have had ovariectomy (likewise called oophorectomy), wherein an ovary or both ovaries or removed. The main reason to procure generic version of Sildenafil citrate) that has been reviewed as the best medication to cure genital disorder in men and also accelerates the further bad buy cheap cialis affectivity to worsen the condition of relationship and the problem as well. I liked that this story revolved around a woman who wasn’t model thin. She was like people I know and could relate to. That made the story relevant to me.

The writing was crisp and cohesive, but I felt almost as if Jasmine shortchanged herself on occasion. I wanted her to be strong, but when she factored her newfound sexuality into the equation, she lost a bit of herself. That being said, I felt that it helped the reader to see her frailty under the strong façade. You wanted to see her grow into who she really was.

The love scenes and intermixed sex scenes were hot! I enjoyed watching Jasmine morph into the dominatrix role she was born to play. It was very empowering to see such an independent woman in her element. I also liked seeing the hero squirm. Rodney put her up to the actions, yet when he’s not involved, he’s not sure he likes it. The possessiveness was what made me root for them to make it.

If you want a sexy romp through Washington politics, then you want to read A Capitol Affair. I give this novella 3 ½ cherries.

Review by Xeranthemum

Louise Jackson – —a sexually frustrated, thirty-year-old toll collection supervisor for the New Jersey Turnpike – is bored out of her gourd at Medieval Worlds: Dinner and Tournament when she heads for the ladies’ room. She soon encounters a gorgeous mystery knight in a bathroom stall that is actually a portal to another time and place – a castle in twelfth-century Europe, which is the knight’s home. Louise is ecstatic – she believes she has found the incredible knight-in-shining-armor of her wildest fantasies. But the mystery knight is actually Lord Verdigris, who has kidnapped her from the 21st century so she can become a sex slave in his Hall of Harlots, where she will grant sexual favors to Lord Verdigris and the knights of his garrison for all eternity!

Determined to make the best of a bad situation, Louise settles into her new role as Lady Louisa of the Crossroads – by far the most popular and desirable of all the courtesans in Lord Verdigris’s Hall of Harlots. Will she find a path back to her own century before the ruthless Lord Verdigris finds out and imprisons her forever? And will she find true love along the way?

Knight Moves is a mixture of extreme humor, rascally knights, a heroine who makes no apologies for liking what she does and a time traveling hoodlum to spice things up.

If ever there was a book written that showcases an author’s zany and cheeky sense of hilarity while at the same time making the tips of your ears burn from the heat, this book is in the running. Louise is the hapless but not entirely helpless damsel in distress, or undress as the case may be. She ends up in a place in past history whose resident benevolent dictator scours through time to find the perfect harlots for his hall. The crux of Louise’s dilemma is how to escape when there is no way to escape? The devious plans that she makes, the inventive solutions she introduces, and the giggle-worthy dialogue she engages in simply makes this a fast moving story to read. Therapy is also used for some men generico viagra on line unica-web.com that have psychological erectile dysfunction. We still never viagra prescription free Check This Out pass each other in an abnormal way. Others believe generic means online cialis prescription less effective or poorly made. You can face the problem of diarrhea, congestion, facial flushing, cialis canada generic diarrhea and sometimes urinary infection.

Ms. Layne crams this book with an amazing array of ingenuity, sexual escapes that have you hot and laughing at the same time, and even a moral platitude thrown in for good measure. I can practically see the author grinning as she wrote scene after scene of adventures for Louise.

There are two heroes, one primary and one secondary. The secondary characters truly bring this story to life and the F/F/F scene takes no prisoners. I’m not sure what I expected but not the wild, determined and well written event it was. This was the first time I’ve ever read anything like this and it had me sitting back and thinking. It was fun!

Knight Moves is a must for readers who like light drama, a healthy dose of chuckles, an ice cube or two for the heat and a romance sure to survive beyond time.

Review by Holly

Losing her virginity can mean ruin for a Victorian lady. For Raven Drake, it means freedom to explore her sexuality. As a magicker in hiding, Raven subscribes to her culture’s less prudish philosophy. She wants to experience every erotic sensation imaginable.

Malcolm, Lord Preston, desires her from the moment he sees her, and doesn’t allow society’s rules to stand in his way. More than happy to introduce Raven to the pleasures of sex, he doesn’t expect to fall in love with her.

Their tryst is a welcome distraction from witch hunters and political maneuverings. But can it overcome the weight of another man’s ring on her finger?

Full of mystery, murder, and magick, The Dark Desires of the Druids series will leave you breathless!

Raven Drake understands her destiny. She just doesn’t particularly care for it. Pledged to marry Gareth Moore in order to unite two of the most powerful remaining lines of Druidic blood and thus strengthen the legacy of magick, she has nonetheless embarked on a passionate and very unwise affair with Malcolm Lord Preston. The time is Victorian England, and “magickers” are being hunted and killed. Sir John Corbin is determined to wipe out those who he believes are evil practitioners of magick and will stop at nothing in order to achieve his goals. He stages a “revelation” on the grounds of Harrington manor, murdering a poor vagrant in the name of his cause, in front of Raven and the other guests, trying to stop the progress of Lord Harrington, Earl of Granville, who is supporting a relaxation of the persecution of magickers. Corbin leads the Hunters, and is determined to destroy anything that gets in his way. You can cheap viagra penetrate deeper into her and prolong the love act controlling premature ejaculation. As cialis brand ejaculate amount has certain relationship with the frequency of insomnia for many individuals. To examine a lot more about an alternate treatment for pancreatic cancer and all other cancers. icks.org viagra price And online you can find the purest all natural organic acai berry products and have them delivered directly to your home in a cialis pills wholesale discreet package and in full privacy, so no one else would know what you have bought. His biggest weapon is Beckett, a hunter, who also practices magick.

Raven has given her virginity to Malcolm, and they manage to create some of the hottest sex in some very interesting places. But both agree this is just a brief affair, as Raven is engaged to Gareth, and it is her duty to marry him. Neither of them counts on falling in love, and of course, having to hide her magickal side from all except family and friends is hard. Once Gareth arrives, things become even more complicated. When Corbin, through his henchman Beckett, orchestrates the death of Lord and Lady Granville, and then attempts to kill Raven and the rest of them in a train wreck, everything comes to a head. Does Raven marry Gareth, does Beckett get his just reward, and will there be a happily ever after for anyone? Check out Dark Desires of the Druids 1: Murder and Magick to find out.

Isabel Roman has written a very strong murder mystery. Although this book starts off slowly, the passion builds and this became a very interesting read. The chemistry, and the sex, between Raven and Malcolm is beyond hot, and when Gareth makes his presence known, Raven’s decision to end the affair seems likely. But there are two terrific twists thrown at you, the reader, that make this a much more compelling story than just a good murder story with sex and magick thrown in. The characters are richly drawn, with depth and feeling, and I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series to see what happens to the characters who were the “supporting players” in this book. My only complaint with it is that I have to keep on reading to find out if Corbin gets his due, and how.

Review by: Anthurium

Leslie, a happily married suburban wife, is expecting a quiet weekend in Maine when her husband Phillip whisks her away for their 10th anniversary getaway. But the moment he slips a blindfold over her eyes and undoes her blouse—as soon as she gets in the car—she realizes that a quaint B&B and a stroll on the boardwalk weren’t quite what he had in mind.

It turns out her trusted husband is more interested in B&D—bondage and discipline—and Leslie is shocked when he escorts her to an erotic retreat where no fetish is off-limits. At first, she willingly plays the part of his sex slave—handcuffs and a chastity belt certainly spice things up, after all. But as Phillip becomes more and more aggressive in his demands, could he push Leslie too far, too fast?

As the fun and games at the hotel start to turn scary, find out what happens when an ordinary couple tests the boundaries of their fantasies—and their devotion—on a weekend they’ll never forget.

The premise of Blind Seduction starts out strong with a lot of potential. My expectation was for a fun romp between consenting adults fulfilling their fantasies.

For their 10th anniversary a couple who have been a part of the BDSM scene for years embarks on a “fantasy” trip to a private sex retreat where basically anything goes. Leslie as the submissive, worries constantly about pleasing her master. Phillip spends his time mostly thinking up new scenes for Leslie to experience. You can discuss your decision of having buy viagra no prescription safer sex with your partner. However, it is useful in helping the daughter understand how ill-equipped her mother is for mature relationship at buy viagra for women devensec.com that given time. It is opined by experts that no matter how mild a drug is, one must always get in a word it is the generic medicine of viagra pill on line . People might think of getting lowest viagra price treated due to some surgery or due to some other treatments nor some other sentimental issues.

The book is well written, and except for a couple of minor typos it is well edited. However, this story fell short for me emotionally. I just never got a sense of strong emotion from either of the main characters, and although I finished the book, hoping it would get better, I never came to feel a connection with the characters.

There are numerous descriptions of various BDSM acts being acted out throughout the book at the retreat, but because of the emotional distance I felt, the descriptions seemed more clinical than stimulating. I think it’s possible if you’re able to connect better with these characters, you may find this book smoking hot.

On the whole, while I found the story readable and technically quite well-written, I simply found most of the story forgettable. I’d be willing to give the author another try, though. She’s proficient.

Review by Holly

Tally Bennett’s always been a giver, Brett Huntsman’s always been a player. When Brett has a snowboarding accident and can’t use his hands, Tally’s happy to help him out-in more ways than one-but for one night and one night only.

Then Tally is asked for one more favor: take care of egotistical rich boy Brett while his broken bones heal. She just started developing her new bath and body line, Naughty Body-how is she supposed to find the time to take care of Brett and deal with his latest request: that they indulge in a six-week sex fest?

Brett always gets what he wants, and he wants sex with Tally. But a sex fest with lush, earthy Tally affects Brett in a way he never saw coming, and he’s just discovered the one thing money can’t buy-Tally’s heart.

Can a self-centered rich boy and a self-made country girl come to learn the true meaning of giving before their differences rip them apart?

Can a small town budding entrepreneur find happiness with a rich and handsome playboy? Does she even want to? Can a playboy see behind a façade of a woman he’s known most of his life and find the inner beauty hidden from everyone? These questions and more can be answered in Tally’s Gift, the third book of Elle Amery’s Quartzton books.

Tally Bennett is beginning her new career as an entrepreneur, with her line of sensual bath and body products when her best friend Sophie calls from New York and asks her to visit her brother Brett in the hospital.

Spoiled rich boy Brett is used to having his way, with life as well as with women. But after a snowboarding accident, he is sidelined in the hospital and can barely care for himself. He gets his way where Tally is concerned and they both think that’s the end of it.

Unfortunately, Sophie can’t come back to help care for her brother as planned, and asks Tally to let him stay with her for the time it will take for Brett to heal. Against her better judgement, Tally agrees to let him stay at her house. She quickly sets up ground rules of no sex between them while he is there. This becomes difficult early on and after one really difficult night of avoidance, the ground rules change. Regularly stroking your penis doesn’t mean you’re stretching the spongy erectile tissue tablet viagra inside. This nutrient, which is tadalafil 10mg uk also available from tomatoes, has known antioxidant and cancer-preventing properties. The possibly detected side effects in rare cases are weakness, sildenafil india insomnia, abdominal pain, sinus, constipation, diarehea and some other symptoms.

But, can Tally and Brett remain friends with benefits and then go their separate ways with no regrets? The answers are in Tally’s Gift, and it is well worth reading.

Elle Amery has a talent for writing well-rounded characters, people that we can recognize as someone we may know or want to know. I loved the idea that Tally was her own person, not some cookie cutter heroine. She is eccentric, and just imperfect enough to be any woman. Tally is honest, with herself as well as with others.

Ms. Amery gives us situations of real depth and I find myself hoping to revisit Quartzton California again sometime in the future. With Tally’s Gift, she has actually gifted us with an excellent story of passion and love, and someone who feels like a friend. I would recommend that all three of the Quartzton books be a part of anyone’s library, but most especially Tally’s Gift.

Wren Delacourt is a woman with a gift, only she doesn’t know it. She has psychic abilities-the ability to see the future, to read minds, and to sense emotions. But ever since the death of her parents when she was a teenager, in an accident she foresaw, she has suppressed her abilities, often doubting her childhood memories and unsure if her powers even exist, or if she only imagined them. Unable to deal with other people’s emotions, she leads a quiet, somewhat lonely life working in a university library and socializing mostly with her downstairs neighbor, a gay man named Lawrence.

Everything changes when her sister Abby goes missing, and Wren hires a private investigator to try to find her. Derek Chapman isn’t what Wren expected in a P.I.; he’s young, good-looking, and sensitive. Wren is attracted to him immediately, and the feeling seems mutual, but Wren is afraid that this will be just another failed relationship.

She begins to have dreams about sex, about a dream lover who visits her at night. Is the man in her dreams just her subconscious trying to work out its conflicts between desire and fear? Or could someone really be stalking her in her dreams? And what does it mean when Derek’s search for Abby leads him to a private sex club? Fate seems to be pulling Wren into Derek’s arms, whether she is ready or not…

Wren Delacourt has always doubted her gifts of premonition and telepathy, but when her sister Abby goes missing, and she begins having disturbing visions, Wren knows that she must do something to find her sister. Fearing the police will not listen to her, Wren decides to hire a private investigator to help her locate Abby. Derek Chapman P.I., agrees to help Wren find her sister, yet the search will become more than either of them suspect, including a trail that takes them to an exclusive couples’ club, other psychic phenomenon, and of course countless “sexy” treats.

The point of view never jumps, and the scenes are well described and packed with delicious adjectives. Writing premonitions, visions or even telepathy is a challenge for any author while maintaining the story flow and not confusing the reader. Mind Games pulls this off beautifully. There is never any uncertainty for the reader and I must award the author “TWO THUMBS” way up on a job well done!

Ms. Tan is a talented story-teller. This is my first story I have read by her, but I know it will not be my last. Wonderful job for a writer who is definitely a must keep in the business. Don’t miss out on this yummy, naughty novel.

Captain Nora Bradley has full intentions of keeping her relationship with former classmate, and now First Officer, Robert Smith, purely professional when she hires him. Things begin to change, however,after bodiless invaders seduce the crew in their dreams, the entire ship becomes infected with a space flu that leads to orgiastic frenzy,and encounters with new alien races challenge all they know about sexual identity and social ideals.

As the crew endures, Nora can’t help but profess her feelings for Robert . . . but can their love endure a mix-up with shape-shifters, the unexpected takeover of their ship, and intergalactic war?

Lust in Space is an extraordinary adventure where a reader gets to experience the perils, shocks and surprises found in deep space. Add in some truly inspired erotic and titillating relationships and you are in for a wild voyage.

The first thing that hit me is the character roster. Ms. Lane has written a smorgasbord of delight for any reader who enjoys the unusual, the imaginative and the bold. Alien experiences abound and the author’s depiction of creative bed play will keep you turning the pages. With so many different people on the bridge, that is a lot of ground to cover and clothes to wash.

The story is not without its share of humor and acknowledgement of the space-going adventure series that we’ve been privy to over the past few decades. There is even a clever tweak using a famous author’s name that I didn’t catch until the end of the book. I giggled when I figured it out. And if it was unintentional, well, certainly Mr. Freud would have something to say about that.

My favorite characters are really tiny secondary characters and at times I felt they stole the limelight. I enjoyed reading Ms. Lane’s very kinky and erotic relationship between Jim and Leah. I definitely laughed out loud when the Captain first met the alien trio. Relevantly, this move is aimed at helping ED-effected men to be away cheapest levitra from embarrassment. The Normal Erection Process Explained When cheapest levitra sexually aroused, the nerves in the brain send impulses to the genital area. From cialis samples visit these guys the above explanation, we can see that the combination of food consumption and specific exercise to promote penis growth. As hardness of the dick is paramount in having a fulfilling experienced, volume of levitra super active ascertain it in a huge state. I could relate.

The strongest romantic thread is between Captain Bradley and First Officer Smith. Just like my favorite sci-fi fantasy show, the romance grows between all the chaos and responsibilities of ship life. Little side trips with the bridge crew create the bond that allows them to survive the many challenges facing them. Ultimately, the ones that realize true love are the ones the aliens inadvertently acted like a mirror for – sometimes it’s hard to recognize what is in front of you until someone shoves your face in it. Ms. Lane threw them a whammy.

I accepted easily enough the fantastic science behind some of the technology in Ms. Lane’s world. The only aspect I found annoying were some of the editing glitches. A couple of them are so silly, they are like brain neons – you can’t miss them. For me, the mistakes were like an itch, one I could read right through while scratching at the annoyance. I was having so much fun reading, I didn’t like the interruption.

Fun is the operative word. Lust in Space has so much to offer, from new alien virus attacks, good/bad alien attacks, emotional angst, fits of drunken excess and all out brawls. Ms. Lane embraced all that we love about sci-fi fantasy and heated it up to super-nova proportions. When Bradley and Smith finally get together, it’s not a surprise because, as you know, resistance is futile. My question for Ms. Lane is, is this a long term mission? If so, I’m applying for a boarding pass.

Review by Xeranthemum

Got sex and romance on the brain? So does Cassandra Devon. She also has hard-boiled private eyes, dashing pirates, jet-setting super spies and other sexy rogues entertaining her in her surprisingly explicit subconscious. All these erotic daydreams make it hard to stay focused on Cassandra’s current dilemma: namely, rebuffing the advances of Connor, a wild Irish rascal who wants to play the starring role in her fantasies. Cassandra is only interested in getting together with Raphael, the tall, dark and handsome man of her dreams. May the best romance hero win!

Walter Mitty meets Erica Jong in this wickedly funny and sexy hot comedy-romance from the author of Succubusted.

Ripping the Bodice is clever and witty in its use of the romance genre to explore how too much of a good thing can twist a woman’s expectations, landing her in hilarious hot water.

Ms. Lavey delighted me with her character, Cassandra. She’s an every woman with a bit of an exaggerated quest to find her perfect hero. It is that extreme romantic search that tickled my funny bone and the delivery is unique. It almost reminded me of the movie, “Romancing the Stone”, remember that? Not so much that Cassandra is the writer, she’s instead the reader, moved to read all the books in a series and imagine herself as the heroine. The use of her fantasies is a clever technique that not only entertains but moves the plot along. I’d never seen it quite used in this manner and I loved Ms. Lavey’s wild imaginings.
