Review: Unbound (Freedom #3) by Jessica Freely

Blurb:
When Larke met Droje his whole world changed. Now he's left behind everything he's ever known to join Droje's band of freedom fighters. Life on the run is full of perils but Larke doesn't care so long as he's by Droje's side. Everyday he's discovering more-- about who he is, who he can become, and the unprecedented feelings he has for Droje. But when an enemy from within nearly costs Larke his life, Droje's efforts to protect him could end their relationship and rob Larke of his chance to help the rebellion as only he can. In this third volume of the Freedom series, Larke learns that before he can free others, he must first free himself.

My Thoughts:
I have been reading and reviewing this series all along and I absolutely love it. I think the world that Ms. Freely has created is fantastic and certainly one that I could get lost in. I also think that because of these books the sci-fi genre is really growing on me as well.
I just love Droje and Larke! I love how they are with each other even though in this one Droje made me angry by pushing Larke away, even though his motive was pure. I really want to read more from this world very very soon. I can not recommend these books enough. They are short and do not take very long to get through, but the characters will certainly draw you in and make you want to stay with them.

Review: Dreaming- A Military Homecoming Romance by Michelle Fox

Blurb:

Rebecca’s husband, Kane, is a man of mystery and action. As an elite Navy Seal, he’s gone for long periods of time working on top secret missions. She never knows when her husband will return and the wait is often lonely.

While away on his latest mission, Kane has come up with some creative ways to keep the home fires burning even if he can’t call or email. And then the dreams start. Strange, vivid dreams of Kane; his strength, his touch, his scent.

Every morning, Becca wakes up convinced it’s all real, yet her bed remains empty...until one unforgettable night she has the best dream of all.

Dreaming is a short but steamy romance of approximately 10,000 words about a woman standing by her man while he serves his country. Please note this is not a novel, it is a short, quick read--the perfect length for a romantic bed time story.

My Thoughts:

Michelle Fox hits another one out of the park! I love reading Michelle's stories. Her writing is excellent and easy to breeze through.
I really enjoyed Becca and Kane's story. It was a happy ending that a lot of military families never get. The romance of the couple was hot add to that their quirky pets, and the story was fantastic!
I highly recommend this story as well as many of Michelle's other books.

Review: Undaunted (Freedom #2) by Jessica Freely

Blurb:

Larke didn't know Droje was a rebel when he found him beaten and bruised in an alley. Now they're on the run and there's no going back. While Larke can't get enough of Droje's hot body, the man's radical ideas --like freedom and justice for all -- challenge his whole worldview. There may be more to life than illicit sex and survival, but unless Larke can get Droje to the safe house in time, neither of them will survive long enough to find out.

This sequel to Unlawful is the second short story in the Freedom Series, set in the universe of Jessica Freely's novella, His Own Devices.

My Thoughts:

I really love these guys. Larke and Droje are a wonderful fit for each other. This book picked up right where Unlawful left off (which I love) and shows the guys fight for freedom.
I would definitely recommend this series, especially if you enjoy M/M and science fiction!

Review: Sexy Red Hood by Daryl Devore

Blurb:

A twisted contemporary version of Little Red Riding Hood. Red Hood is sent by her mother to rescue her grandmother and on the way she meets a woodsman and a wolf. An emerald necklace and Red both disappear. The love of her life rescues her -the woodsman or the wolf? Remember - it's twisted.

My Thoughts:

This is quite a different retelling of the classic Little Red Riding Hood that we are all acustom to. It is definitey an adults only version, but a great one at that! I loved that there was a bit of mystery added in and even though the names gave a bit away as to who was who, you still weren't sure who Red would finally have in her bed. The fact that this took place on a seniors cruise was an added touch I really enjoyed. And the roll play at the end of the book was just so fitting!! I would definitely recommend this title and I will be reading more from this author.

Danny by Margo Anne Rhea

Title: Danny
Author: Margo Anne Rhea
Genre: Contemporary-Erotic Romance
Publisher: Entranced Publishing Length: 38 pgs
Release Date: May 20, 2013

Blurb:

Paige Warren is sure she’s come to terms with her impending divorce, until she wakes up in bed with her soon-to-be ex, Danny. Worse yet, the bed belongs to Stacey, the sexual surrogate Paige and Danny have been sleeping with for months -- and Stacey’s not there. As much as Paige tries to deny it, she soon realizes she’s still in love with Danny. Now she’s torn between him and the woman who holds them together. Should she risk hurting Stacey to rekindle a monogamous relationship with the man she once thought she’d spend the rest of her life with, or should she learn from past experience?

Danny is a sensual, erotic novella following one woman's struggle between a love she thought was over and a relationship that's barely begun.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed this short story. It was definitely a hot one with lots of sexy scenes. It does have a plot. However, keep in mind that sex is a huge part of the plot. If you enjoy short erotica stories with lots of sex then absolutely give this one a try. While this is a short story it is a complete one. It doesn't leave you feeling like parts were missing or there is more to be told.

Excerpt:

THE MORNING I REALIZED I still had feelings for Danny was a rainy, gloomy one. Just like all those lazy, stormy Saturdays he and I used to spend in bed together–before Stacey. A hand slid up my thigh, pulling me from sleep. I stretched into the caress, reaching out for her. My muscles ached with that well-used, morning-after feeling. How like Stacey–to wake up wanting more.

I crawled sleepy fingers across linen until I felt warmth, smooth skin, a hipbone. Goose bumps rose under my hand, and I traveled north for more fun. The corners of my lips turned up in a smile as I anticipated cupping Stacey’s full breast, her taut nipple tickling my palm.

But instead I was fondling a very flat, very male chest. I’d like to say I shot off the bed faster than I’d ever moved before. But I didn’t. Instead, I lingered, breathing in time to his heartbeat. I would know that cadence anywhere. I’d laid my head on that chest and listened to that heart beat a million times before, but I pried my eyes open and focused on him, just to be sure.

The sight that greeted me was all too familiar: lean muscles; smooth, tan skin; dark, military hair. His square jaw clenched tight, and his brown eyes narrowed in an unreadable expression. Yep, I was in bed with my husband–my naked, estranged husband. And our girlfriend was nowhere to be seen.

“Where’s Stacey?” I whispered the words. Maybe I was afraid I would spook him. Maybe I was afraid I’d spook myself. I still hadn’t taken my hand back.

“Work, early.” The old Danny would have made sure I knew when she’d left, when she would be back, and every detail in between. Of course, the old Danny wouldn’t be married to one woman and sleeping with another.

I sighed and reclaimed my hand; his was still on my leg. Three years of marriage had been reduced to two-word sentences and mistaken caresses. I slid to the edge of the bed, keeping the ecru sheet stretched securely over my nudity. Danny traced my spine with his fingertips as I turned my bare back to him and kicked my legs over the edge of the bed.

He exhaled heavily. “Don’t go.” His voice was soft and gravelly. I froze at the sound of it. “Paige, stay.” He tried again, but all his entreaty did was spur me into motion.

My panties were on the floor by my feet, and I wasted no time yanking the pink lace up my legs. The sheet slipped, falling with a soft whoosh onto its fitted counterpart as I stood to pull those panties into place. He moaned the second my ass was covered.

Review: As You Wish (A Cinderella Story) by A. Violet End

Blurb:

Annora is willing to do anything to save her father from the dark eros of an evil witch-mother and two demonic step-sisters. It's a perilous task, battling such awful magic, but she doesn't have to face danger alone; a fairy man waits to make all Annora's wishes come true--for a price. This is not Walt Disney's Cinderella, dear reader. This is As You Wish, a Cinderella story from author A. Violet End.

My Thoughts:

I really enjoyed the authors retelling of a classic fairytale. It was imaginitive and erotic. I loved the different characters and the way that the story played out. I would definitely recommend this story for anyone looking for a short yet erotic tale. I will be reading more of this authors work in the near future. *I recieved this book for review but that has in no way effected my opinion.*

Review: Blood Rush (Vampire Erotica #1) by Michelle Fox

Synopsis:

In a world where vampires are real, blood is a financial asset and sex mixed with blood commands the highest price.

Myra Danson is in desperate need of cash for her ailing mother and when she has the opportunity to join the shadow world of blood courtesans, she jumps before she looks. Soon she's sharing a bed with the handsome Kristos Anastos, but then bullets start to fly and she finds herself running for her life.

Kristos assumes the attack stems from his enemies hoping to destroy him, but it quickly becomes clear that Myra is the real target. Worse, she's falling in love with Kristos, but is the sexy vampire friend or foe?

Blood is money and Myra's may be worth the most of all. A past she never knew existed has come to claim her and she'll be lucky if she only ends up dead.

An erotic romance novella of 21,000 words--much longer than a short story, but shorter than a novel. Please note this is part one of a two part story. Part two will be released in April.

My Thoughts:

I am so torn! I loved this story, but I want book two Now! Ugh I hate cliffhangers especially when the story is phenominal. However I will be reading the sequel immediately upon its release! I just have to know what will happen next...

I loved the characters and the unique and unexpected storyline. I really enjoyed the plot twist as well. I was completely enthralled from the first page to the last and totally shocked that it was over. I want more! I know it will be worth the wait though.

I very highly recommend this title as well as Michelle Fox's work. She certainly knows how to captivate her readers.

Review: Vanished Pride (Seven Sin Sisters #4) by Paloma Beck

Goodreads Summary:

Seven sisters are entwined in a legacy larger than ever expected. One by one, they’ll find their mates from the Valendite Breed, a group of near-immortal men, and secure their place in history. The trouble now is Paige. She has too much pride to go down easily so when confronted by her mate, she convinces him to give her more time.

Donovan agrees to Paige’s plan until things around him start to go wrong. He’s losing his concentration, making mistakes on critical missions for the Terrorist Elimination Unit (TEU), and now he’s assigned as Paige’s bodyguard.

Donovan’s only weakness is his need for a mate to carry on the Breed. Now that he’s found Paige, the time has come for him to claim his mate. Taking Paige in hand might be the only choice he has as forces continue to mount against the Breed. Their Pronouncement will need to be sooner rather than later.

My Thoughts:

Is the rest of this series available yet?! Seriously though, this series is just that amazing. If they were all available I would read them back to back.
I loved Donovan and his DD (domestic dominance). He was exactly what Paige needed even if she took awhile to admit it.

I very highly recommend this entire series! They have the perfect blend of paranormal, an air of mystery and are just smoking hot! They are all fast reads that are easily consumed, but will leave you lusting for the next book. Overall Rating: 5 out of 5*

Review: Holiday Gem (Seven Sin Sisters #3) by Paloma Beck

Goodreads Summary:

Seven sisters are entwined in a legacy, one originating back from the time of the Italian Wars in the 1500s. One by one, they will find their mates from the immortal Valendite Breeds and secure their place in history. Gemma has spent her adult life consumed with researching the Valendite Breed history, constantly greedy for knowledge about their race. Until she meets Seamus and she's no longer able to hide in her world of books and theory. Now is her time to live. Seamus has found his gem and he wants nothing more than to treasure her. But his best friend is missing and he needs to locate him. Torn between his mate and his brother-in-arms, Seamus may be forced to choose one over the other. Will he sacrifice a lifelong friendship for the love of his life?

My Thoughts:

This addition to the series was Fantastic! Not only did we have the romance of the paranormal mates, but we had the added suspense of the missing "brother"! I loved Gemma and Seamus together. They were another perfect match. Gemma's Soul sin was Greed, I was very curious how that was going to come about and I loved the direction Paloma took it.

This series so far is an absolute must read. They are short, hot and very well written. I am sure this is going to be a series I will enjoy again and again.

And I just have to say that this is my favorite cover so far, I love it!

Review: Eternal Envy (Seven Sin Sisters #2) by Paloma Beck

Summary:

Seven sisters are entwined in a legacy, one originating back from the time of the Italian Wars in the 1500s. One by one, they will find their mates from the immortal Valendite Breeds and secure their place in history.

Eloise has lived with bitter envy her entire life until the moment she fell into the arms of Caedon. Once claimed by her mate, she will covet nothing more for eternity, especially now that she has it all.

Caedon plans to fulfill her every need if he can just keep her safe. With their secret so close to being exposed and a mate who finds herself in the midst of the drama, Caedon has enough to keep his hands full.

Then Caedon’s parents, believed dead for a century, come across the Terrorist Elimination Unit’s (TEU) radar. Can he save his parents while protecting his newfound mate?

My Thoughts:
I loved it! I think this pair, Caedon and Eloise, was very evenly matched. They seem to balance each other out. Eloise's sin is envy and as soon as her and Caedon meet it fades, she doesn't want what everyone else has anymore, because the gorgeous man is hers and hers alone.

I am truely loving the series concept and I am diving into book 3 right away. I highly recommend reading this series. Paloma does not disappoint her readers.

Ever since rock stars, Kyler Christenson and Robbie Russo, pledged their commitment, they've lived only for each other, and it's been a life of happiness every day.

My Thoughts:

This is book 5.5 in the Conquest series by S.J Frost.
I was so happy to be able to see Another glimpse into Robbie and Kylers life. This novella was perfectly titled. Robbie and Kylers life together is now a Beautiful Harmony.

In this story Kyler gives Robbie the perfect Christmas morning. He puts a lot of thought into his gifts and the snow scene proposal was to die for! I can't stress enough how enthralling this series is. I will read it over and over again!

Review: Unlawful by Jessica Freely

Goodreads Summary:
In a world where being gay is unlawful and slavery is legal, two men fight for their lives, for their desires, and for justice. Larke is a corporate lackey with a secret. Brode is a freedom fighter on the run. Each spells trouble for the other, but the passion between them will not be denied, no matter what the risk.

This is a short lgbt science fiction erotic romance set in the universe of Jessica Freely's bestselling novella, His Own Devices. Previously only available for a limited time to readers who purchased His Own Devices during release week, it can now be enjoyed by everyone.

My Thoughts:
I was immediately pulled into this story. It wad very different compared to other M/M books I have read as this one had a Futuristic Science Fiction feel to it. I really enjoyed the concept as well, (that being gay was illegal) it was unique and captivating.

I haven't yet had the pleasure of reading more of Jessica Freely's work but I definitely will, very soon! I would highly recommend this book to any fans of M/M romances.

Review Rewind (#4): Finding a Dream (Conquest #4) by S.J Frost

Review Rewind (#4):
This is my last Review Rewind for S.J Frost. I have read the next two stories in the series and those review posts will be coming next week. I can't stress enough how amazing this entire series has been you simply must give it a try. I am sure you will love it, as I do.

Goodreads Summary:
Bullied and harassed at school for his sexuality, Dillon Davis can’t see his life getting any better, but he can see it getting worse. Depressed, wounded in spirit and body, he’s nearing a point of hopelessness, until he sees a picture of his favorite stage actor, Brandon Alexander, with his partner, Shunichi Miyamoto. At learning Shunichi runs a karate dojo, a spark of hope comes to Dillon of learning to defend himself, and most of all, meeting Brandon.

Brandon Alexander is filled with compassion for Dillon the moment he meets him. He knows all too well what it’s like to be scorned for being gay. He and Shunichi want nothing more than to help him, but when Dillon never returns to the dojo, they fear what’s happened to him.

My Thoughts:
This is book 4 in the Conquest series. I loved that Jesse and Evan had a cameo in this book, but didn't take away from the focus of the story. Brandon & Shun played a much bigger roll in helping out Dillon. The fact that they didn't even hesitate to do so made me love them that much more. I hope we get to see Dillon again at some point in the future. This series is so amazing, I think everyone needs to read it.

I have only read this one once, so far, and I just finished it in January. I will reread it at some point as with the rest of the series. I think this one really hits hard on the facts that kids today are bullied relentlessly and that there are people out there that can and will help.

Review: Lustful Cravings (Seven Sin Sisters #1) by Paloma Beck

Goodreads Summary:
Seven sisters are entwined in a legacy bigger than anyone ever expected. One by one, they will find their mates from the immortal vampyric Valendite breeds and secure their place in history.
Each sister embodies one of the seven deadly sins only to be cast aside once claimed. But claiming comes at the price of separation,causing a weakening of their combined powers, which none want to happen... until Layla, holding the sin of lust within her body, locks eyes with Madden.

Madden is one of the strongest of the Valendite Breed, a group of near-immortal men originating from the Italian Wars in the 1500s. Today, the Valendite Breed serve as the Terrorist Elimination Unit, an invisible arm of the CIA. Their only weakness is their need for a mate to carry on the Breed. So now that Madden has found Layla, he will never let her go.

With forces mounting up against the Breed, Madden and Layla will need to rely on both of their powers to get them to their Pronouncement.

My Thoughts: Wow! Let me just say that this is the first book I have read by Paloma Beck and she has completely enthralled me. I loved the story concept and the characters have such amazing chemistry that I could not put the book down. I literally read this in one sitting. I thought Madden was a  super sexy alpha male and Layla was the perfect mate for him. Add in a second man and the story was utter perfection. I will be reading books 2 and 3 very very soon. I can't wait to see which sister is next.
This is a novella so its easy to read in one sitting. I very highly recommend this title!

Review: Burning For Him by Michelle Fox

Goodreads Summary:
Three nights to ravish her body, one curse to shatter her heart...
A magic locket brings the demon Khan into Selena Connor’s life--and bed--just in the nick of time. Her fiancé’s stolen her life savings, she faces crushing debts, and her boss is trying to harass her into his bed. When Khan appears, his dark magic unlocks the deepest secrets of her body and heart. His touch ignites a burning desire that bends Selena to his will and erases all her cares.
But Khan's curse binds him to the locket's owner for only three nights of soul-searing pleasure, and just as Selena realizes she can’t live without him, Khan vanishes. Reality comes crashing in: Selena's boss has framed her to take the fall for his crimes. If she refuses his advances now, it's jail. She may as well be cursed herself.
With nothing left to lose,Selena takes a leap of faith. Only one man--Khan--will ever truly possess her. And maybe she's the one woman who can free him.
An erotic novella (code for longer than a short story but not as long as a full novel) of approximately 20,000 words; expect steamy sex with BDSM elements.

My Thoughts:
This is the second book I have read by Michelle Fox and she has just made my "auto-buy" list!
These characters (Selena & Khan) quickly pulled me into their story and didn't let me go until the last page was read.
It is a novella so it would be a perfect bedtime read. The story is well written and very captivating, not to mention super steamy! I highly recommend reading this story.
