Review-Feral by Anne Berkeley


Book Title – Feral
Author Anne Berkeley
Publisher – Anne Berkeley

ISBN/ASIN -    B00GKMYWN8
Genre –Fantasy > Paranormal 

 
 Thaleia Llorente isn’t afraid of the dark, and doesn't believe in the supernatural, but when an incident during a party on Halloween night sends her fleeing into the woods in search of seclusion, she’ll come face to face with one of the creatures she had thought lived only in myths and legends. 

Bitten, she’ll need the protection and the help of Icarus Quirinus, her newfound and loathed alpha, to guide her through her transformation and descent into the dangerous world of lycan. Despite his constant need to dominate her, she feels an irresistible and undeniable attraction to him, but can they look past their differences, or will the secrets he holds and her refusal to cede, drive them further apart?




 
 Hi! My name is Anne Berkeley. I'm a full time cubicle dweller, wife and mother of two beautiful children. I do all things creative. Photoshop, photography, scrapbooking, decorating, barbering, and I would like to think...writing.




I was honestly blown away by how good this book was! It was all the things I love in paranormal romance. The story didn't focus too much on the romance, and that left plenty of room for an excellent plot line.
I love the characters and just could not put it down. It was one of those books that I found myself thinking of when I wasn't reading.
There was some serious angst that made me love it all the more!
It was so well written, and drew me right in from the first few chapters. I will be reading everything she has out.
If you love wolves, steamy kisses, and a little teen angst, pick this up right now! You will be glad you did!

Blog Tour-Addict by Rachael Orman


Title: Addict (Cravings Series #1)
Author: Rachael Orman
Genre: Erotic Romance/BDSM
Publication Date: December 22, 2014

My name is Alix and I am addicted to sex.
Had been for years. I thought I learned how to live a normal life, but that’s the thing about addiction, it creeps back up when you least expect it. There is no one there for me, no one I can turn to for help. Until I’m given a chance to explore a side of myself I’d always kept locked away. I was lost…until him. I can’t tell you who he is, or why he does the things he’s done. All I can say is I hope one day I behave well enough to take off the blindfold and see the man who controls my addiction. My Master.

My name is John and I am addicted to control.
I tried to deny the dominate side of my personality. I didn’t want to admit how much I enjoyed the power, how much I enjoyed causing pain. That is until the woman I’d been secretly been stalking waltzed into a BDSM club right in front of me. All bets are off. She will be mine.

Together our addictions feed off each other, fueling the fire that burns within. Until suddenly the fire is too hot to handle, burning everything in its path. The pain and scars we’d both come into our fragile relationship with are split wide open, exposing more than either of us can handle, possibly leaving nothing behind to salvage from the ashes.

**Warning: Intended for audiences 18+ due to explicit sex & vulgar language, mention of rape/abuse**

Mother by day. Writer by night. I spend a majority of my day with my children and reading while my nights are filled with the sound of the keyboard as I work on my next work.

I have written in F/F, F/F/M, F/F/F and then of course F/M genres.... So, beware, I do not always have the most 'traditional' scenes. And one day I will venture into M/M, just have to find the time.

I love to try new things and learn from every piece of work I write. I'll write just about anything once to learn from it. I've even ventured out of my normal erotica genre into Monster Erotica. Doubt you'll find me writing anything not erotic as you can barely get me to even read something out of that category, but then again, you never know what I might try next.

Never stop learning. Try everything at least once.

Review-Unbearable by Cynthia St. Aubin

Book Title – Unbearable
Author – Cynthia St Aubin
Publisher –Cynthia St Aubin
ISBN/ASIN -  
Genre – Paranormal, Fantasy

 When you can't grin and bear it...

Paranormal Psychologist, Matilda Schmidt is sick of secrets. But when her troubled mother falls into dangerous hands, she must enlist the help of the two men who may be hiding the most: the hot-bodied demigod who's suddenly tight-lipped about his current client, and the delicious hit man who's been concealing much more than a gun in his pocket. 

Faced with the destruction of her tidy life at the paws of three rowdy werebears, and protected only by an immortal egg on the edge, Matilda will have to come riding to her own rescue, or risk a life that's anything but happily ever after








Cynthia St Aubin  
 
Cynthia St. Aubin wrote her first play at age eight and made her brothers perform it for the admission price of gum wrappers. A steal, considering she provided the wrappers in advance. Though her early work debuted to mixed reviews, she never quite gave up on the writing thing, even while earning a mostly useless master's degree in art history and taking her turn as a cube monkey in the corporate warren.
Because the voices in her head kept talking to her, and they discourage drinking at work, she started writing instead. When she's not standing in front of the fridge eating cheese, she's hard at work figuring out which mythological, art historical, or paranormal friends to play with next. She lives in Colorado with the love of her life and three surly cats.













Unbearable is a great story with great characters.  There is never a dull moment
 in Matilda's life!  This book will have you laughing out loud.  Pick up this book today! 
You will LOVE IT!

Review-Flawlessly Executed by Ava Armstrong



 When a mysterious young woman from his past shows up at the beginning of the school year, old memories are stirred up for Lieutenant Ben Keegan, which only serves to create tension in his marriage. Meanwhile, Lara is working overtime trying to manage an enormous fortune and thriving architectural firm, while dealing with feelings of loss for her former mentor, Eliot Stone. Lara leans on her good friend, Hawk, for support and he’s always there to help her. Flawlessly Executed has moments of grief, passion, rage, and frustration, and some wonderful moments of intense love. As in real life, there seems to be a force at work that conspires to pull Ben and Lara apart. The question is, will their love endure? A thriller and romance, Flawlessly Executed, Book 3 in the Dark Horse Guardians Series, takes the reader back to the Middle East with Lieutenant Ben Keegan and his team for the biggest hit since Bin Laden. There are moments that are chillingly realistic. Will he return from the mission unchanged or will this be his last one?


Ava Armstrong is a new romance and thriller author. Having spent most of her life in corporate America, she managed to dedicate four months of time this year to write her debut novel, "A Sense of Duty" self-published with her company "Dark Horse Guardians."
Ava Armstrong holds several college degrees and has some great advice for college students. Switch your major to the one subject that you absolutely love. While she obtained degrees in business administration and history, the one constant in her life was writing. She kept English as a minor though her college years. Although an avid reader, writing was always been her favorite pastime and a conduit of communication both for business and pleasure.
Ava lives in New England with her husband and daughter. She has traveled extensively across the country, favoring vacations in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
She has a special place in her heart for those who serve and describes herself as a flag-waving patriot. She avidly supports all veterans, but has a special affinity for those veterans now returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. She doesn't hesitate to say: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.
When she isn't writing, Ava spends time with her family and friends in the backyard garden or enjoys walking on the beach.  


  This is book 3 in the Dark Horse Guardians Series.
I was sucked in with book 1. There is always so
much action and drama.  There is such a love between
Ben and Laura. Their love truly gets tested in this
book.  You will fall in love with the characters. I
love reading books by Ava Armstrong!  She has a way
of pulling you in and keeping you interested until
the very last page!

Blog Tour-Mind by Audrey Carlan


Title: Mind, Trinity Trilogy, Book 2
Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance
Tour Host: DRC Promotions

Synopsis

I’m a magnet for evil and controlling men. Chase, my big business tycoon and love of my life, thinks he can protect me…he can’t.
No one can.
It became clear far too late how serious my stalker was, that his threats weren’t idle. He proved more than once that he would do what it takes, that there were no stakes too high to his sick and twisted games and delusions of worship.
We should have been better prepared. The roses, images, lingerie soaked in his seed, even his calling card written in blood didn’t penetrate. I had faith that my love could make it go away, that eventually he’d be caught.
I was wrong.
***
In the second highly anticipated erotic suspense novel in the Trinity Trilogy, MIND digs deep into the heart and psyche of Gillian and her stalker through dueling POVs.
While Chase and Gillian plan their wedding, follow them and the entire gang as the stalker acts out his revenge and plots his attack on Gillian, Chase, and their friends.
This book can be considered dark, erotic, and thrilling. As in Body (Trinity Trilogy Book 1) the issue of domestic violence plays heavily in the storyline, and Gillian experiences many disturbing flashbacks of the past, alongside tragedy the stalker brings to the present. There is also a lot of love, devotion, and friendship.
Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language, graphic sexual content, and themes that some may find disturbing. MIND is book 2 of a three-part trilogy. Body (Trinity Trilogy - Book 1) must be read prior to reading MIND.


Excerpt

“That’s it baby, you take my cock,” he presses deep. “Take. It. All. The. Way.” He grunts until he’s seated to the very hilt, his heavy balls slapping against the crack of my ass. “You feel me, Gillian. You feel me inside you. I’m always going to be there. Taking you, taking what’s mine, giving you what’s yours.” He breathes heavily as he stirs his cock inside me. “You want that? All of me. Every” thrust “fucking,” thrust, “inch” thrust, “Of me,” thrust,” is yours,” he lets out in a feverish rush.
He tugs at my hips spearing me on his thick cook, the lips of my sex protesting with each massive thrust. It’s divine. Him taking me this way. Proving that nothing will keep him from me.
“What do you feel?” He brings a wicked thumb into the mix, swirling the digit around my clit in dizzying circles that sends lightning to my sex.
“I feel…” I try to catch my breath as my orgasm builds, swirls like a boiling pot, my spine tightening, limbs protesting as the first waves of release shimmer through me. “I feel us.” He smiles, comes down onto me and powers into me.
“What else?” He grates. His skin is shining with sweat at the effort to hold back, not just pound and pour into me. No, he wants it to be good for me and it always is.
“Baby, it’s everything,” I whisper into his ear as I cling to him in a full body clench before tipping my head back and roaring through my release. I grip him to me so tightly I can feel the exact moment his spine stiffens, one vertebra at a time, in extreme pleasure, before pouring his release into me. The orgasm goes on and on as we both ride the wave for long minutes.
When I come back from Nirvana, I’m still clinging to him, only now I’m sprawled naked on his chest, both of us panting like we just ran a full marathon. Chase extends his arm and shuffles through his pants. He pulls out his phone holds it out and takes a picture.
“Now look at the camera for me this time. I want to keep this moment with me forever,” he says. I can only oblige him. Certain that my breasts are plastered against his chest I peek up through my hair and my hiding place on his chest. One of my hands is lying against his rapidly beating heart. We both look at the camera, and I give my secret smile, the one I only give to him. He takes the picture and turns it around so I can see. It’s breathtakingly beautiful. I see the Drum Bridge clearly in the distance but most importantly, I see Chase, his eyes sated and untarnished by his past or our current situation. My own gaze is soft, resplendent. Mostly, it’s just another candid moment of us in love.
“Send it to me…that one is special,” I use the same words he used about the other image. He nods once and then tosses the phone back down near his pants. We lay together for a long time.
“Do you think it will always be this good between us?” I finally ask. His arms tighten along my bare back and waist.
I lean up and rest my chin on his chest like I usually do after we make love.
“I don’t know why it wouldn’t. I’m positive there is no other woman for me. No one else would put up with me the way you do.” He waggles his eyebrows, but I know there is some truth in his statement.
Kissing him softly, I pull back. “You’re right. No woman in their right mind would put up with you,” he cringes, but I continue. “Special dates and private garden showings, rooftop brunches, endless love making where the woman’s pleasure is paramount…you’re right. You’re ridiculous!” I giggle, and he nuzzles my nose.
“You’re cute.”
“Didn’t we already have this conversation? Cute is for puppies and newborns not naked women in their twenties who allow you to ravish them in public gardens.”
Chase laughs, and I enjoy feeling his cock wiggle within me. He likes to stay connected to me for as long as possible, but I know our private time is running out.
“Don’t we need to go?”
He kisses me then sits up. I shimmy off him and stand. The mixture of our combined releases coats my thighs and starts running down my leg. Chase watches closely, a predatory gleam in his eyes and a crooked, sexy smile on his face. I roll my eyes and grab the soft napkin that came with our picnic, wiping the mess up before putting on my panties, bra, and dress.
Chase dresses and I start to put everything away. “Leave it. I’ve paid someone to take care of it for us.” Of course he did. I shake my head and he puts my cardigan over my shoulders, the chill of the late afternoon in San Francisco starting to encroach.
“Next up...dessert,” Chase says as he leads me out the gate of the garden. I close my eyes and try to imprint today’s experience so that I can go back to it often. Whenever I have a rough day, I’m going to go back to those rainbow steps that tell a story so beautiful one must experience it with their own eyes, and the magical garden where Chase made wild and crazy love to me under the cool shade of a willow tree.
“I thought that’s what we just had,” I say, the innuendo clear in my tone.
“You saucy little vixen, come on. I know a place that serves up the best caramel cupcakes baked fresh every day.”
“You had me at ‘saucy little vixen’,” I grin.

Review-Devoted to Him by Sofia Tate

Book Title – Devoted To Him
Author – Sofia Tate
Publisher – Sofia Tate
ISBN/ASIN -  
1455557420
Genre – Romance, Erotica

 Two months ago, Allegra Orsini nearly lost the man of her dreams. Thankfully Davison Cabot Berkeley, a powerful billionaire who always gets what he wants, had refused to allow anything-or anyone-to come between them. Now back in the arms of the man she loves, Allegra receives an incredible proposal.

Allegra is invited to study under the opera world's most legendary diva. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity . . . but it means moving to Italy for a month. Thirty days without Davison's touch. Allegra isn't sure she can survive it-especially when Davison begins pulling away for reasons she can't figure out. Is the man who has given her more passion and pleasure than she has ever known about to break her heart? Soon Allegra starts to realize that Davison could be guarding a secret even more devastating . . .



 
 Hi! I'm Sofia Tate, and I'm thrilled to introduce you to my debut contemporary erotic romance, BREATHLESS FOR HIM from Forever Yours. I'm so excited for you to meet Davison and Allegra!

I grew up in Maplewood, New Jersey. I now reside in New York City. I love film, travel, museums, and I'm addicted to "Scandal." I'm also slightly obsessed with European royals and reruns of "Battle of the Network Stars" every Monday night on ESPN Classic.

Once a month, I watch "North and South" to hear Richard Armitage say, "Look back. Look back at me." 

I love reading romance by Eden Bradley, Sylvia Day, Raine Miller, Samantha Young, Kate Pearce, Jessica Clare, Jess Michaels, and Charlotte Featherstone.




I fell in love with Sofia Tate's after reading her
first book.  Devoted To Him was just as good!
This book has romance, mystery and steamy
hot sex! Love, Love, Love the characters!

Angel Falling (Falling, #1) Book Title – Angel Falling
Author – Audrey Carlan
Publisher – Audrey Carlan
ISBN/ASIN - 9780991535101
Genre – Romance, Erotica

Aspen Reynolds has it all. Wealth, beauty, and a spot on the Forbes Top Ten Most Successful Women list. From the outside, she is perfect. Looks and status can be deceiving. All her life she has fought being the socialite her family has raised her to be. Now at twenty-eight she’s at the top of her game, lacking the one thing she didn’t know she’d ever want.
Accidents happen and lives are changed when Aspen is almost killed. Hank Jensen, the man who saves her, is a hard-working country boy from Texas. Hank is the polar opposite of the rich city boys she’s used to. He’s rugged, gritty, devastatingly handsome, and makes it clear that he wants her in his life and his bed.
Can two people from different worlds find a happily ever after?
Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content. This novel will be part of a three part series but is written as a standalone between this particular couple. The other two books in the series will focus on different characters with snippets of past couples as the stories move along.

This is an explosive, erotic and so sexy story of two people from two different worlds who collide and the sparks fly.

Aspen (aka Angel) is a beautiful, high society, successful and wealthy business woman. Hank (aka Stud) is a down to earth construction company owner and half owner in a ranch in Texas. Two people from two different worlds collide and the sparks fly. The sexual chemistry between them if off the charts and they fit like two peas in a pod. Will these two make it despite their differences? I loved the gay Ollie (Aspen's assistant and close friend who loves her) and his better half, Dean (who doesn't mind sharing Ollie with Aspen since he adores Aspen too) This is a terrific read and if you like a hot & spicy romance with some humor thrown in, this is definitely for you. I'm so glad I got to read this book. This book is for 18+ audience due to the sexual content.

This book was a gift from the author for an honest review.
