Tied & Twisted (Blue Room VIP Book 1)
Emily Ryan-Davis (Author)
Jovanna and David story is very hot & steamy. The majority of it takes place in Jovanna's shop or a BDSM club. There are some aspects that you don't expect like; who is stalking Jovanna and the type of shop that she owns to name a few. I loved how strong, bossy & dominate David is. I enjoyed that Jovanna tries to be a top and a bottom (as the story puts it). I highly recommend this book. Now I am off to get the next book in the series.

This is a short Erotic Romance.
*possible spoiler alert*
Cynthia is a divorced mother of two. She is in her forties and says that she doesn't need or want a man. Cynthia "Cindy" does want to be satisfied. Because she doesn't want a relationship, Cindy decides to go to an online chat site. She doesn't seem very comfortable with her herself and her body.
Travis is a twenty-five year old man that Cindy meets online. He seems sweet and a little nerdy. He even wears glasses. He is always saying beautiful things to Cindy and seems generally interested in her.
In the beginning, Cindy and Travis don't speak (Cindy types everything) and don't see each other's face. They don't know each other's names or personal information. Slowly these two start sharing more, like showing their faces, names, and cell numbers. They only see each other. Cindy is very uncomfortable, in my opinion, with the age difference and decides to end things between them. She is also worried that she getting to attached / addicted to him.
Travis and Cindy do eventually meet in person while he at a convention for work. Cindy joins Travis in his hotel room. It gets hot and steamy.
I know that this is a short read, but there were still times that I laughed and got teary (like when Cindy left the hotel and Travis). I am hoping that the author has another story in store for Cindy and Travis. I want to know what happens next. You will need an extra pair of panties while you read this story. The only things that would have made it better for me would be: a little bit longer (who won't), and to know more about Travis (who he is, his background, family, etc).
Overall, I enjoyed this story and would read more by this author.
Scandalous Endeavors
Amanda Mariel (Author)
A Historical Romance that will make you laugh and cry. There is great chemistry and sexual tension between the main characters. Amelia is feisty, sassy young lady. She knows what she wants and goes for it. Lord Goldstone is a witty gentleman who lives in Scotland.
This is a story about a young woman struggles after losing her parents, most recently her father. Amelia's uncle and guardian tells her that he will be taking her to America. She will be able to return to England when she turns twenty-one, 2 years away. Amelia comes up with a plan to stay in England. She enlists her best friend's help. They get Lady Grace to convince Amelia's uncle to stay with her for 2 months in order to get her affairs in order. In that time Amelia hopes to find a husband, so she doesn't have to ever leave. Since she is in mourning, Amelia will have to work at getting a husband. Her best friend, Lady Sarah, will help her with the planning.
Lord Goldstone is Lady Grace's nephew and comes to stay with her at the same time that Amelia is there. He seems to always be around whether Amelia needs him or not. He was always one step ahead of her. Lord Goldstone, Richard, blocks her plans to compromise herself or land a husband every time. These two do a lot of kissing, but Lord Goldstone always pulls away. I love the sense of humor that he has and the one liners.
Two of my favorite lines are:
"Please use my given name. Now that you have compromised me, Richard will do just fine." He smirked roguishly.
"My eyes are up here," he said.
After receiving upsetting news, Amelia runs off. Richard finds her, and they spend the night alone in her home. Amelia travels with Richard toward Scotland. He will take her part way, and then send her home with a chaperone. On this trip, Amelia discovers that she loves Richard, but he leaves her.
I will let you discover the rest of Amelia and Richard's story, but know that there is a HEA. If you are like me, you may need a Kleenex or two for this story. It did start a little slow, but once it got going it was wonderful. I would recommend this story to anyone who love a historical romance with a sassy English lady and sexy Scotsman.
I was gifted with this book by the author in exchange for an honest review. This is my honest review.

Bad Boy Cowboy (Cattle Valley)
Carol Lynne (Author)
Jax is a cowboy through and through. Logan is Jax's little brother's best friend. He has been in love with Jax since he was a teenager. Logan rides in on a motorcycle in the begin of the story. He came looking for a job with Jax on the ranch. Both of these characters have secrets that they don't want to share with the other person. This story is about how Logan and Jax come to love and trust each other.
I really enjoyed how the author developed the men's relationship and story. Logan is, in my opinion, a little bit dominate, which I loved. There are many wonderful moments in this book. The sex scenes are hot, steamy and scrumptious. Let me just say the last chapter was my favorite!!! Whoa!
MM = Yes, Yum!

Biking Bad
Morticia Knight (Author)
Zero is a hot biker with a sensitive side. Dylan is a young, shy man, who is trying to make in the world. The sexual tension between Zero and Dylan is very hot. I love how Dylan would get nervous and flustered, when he was around Zero. He and Zero have had similar past as teenagers. I really love how protective Zero became with Dylan.
There were very steamy sex. Yum. The two characters made a great couple in my opinion. I just wish that it was longer. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a hot biker story.
5 Stars!
Getaway Girl
Isabet Sarai (Author)

She is very attracted to him and hopes to see Lionel again. When there is a robbery, Peg is taken captive and forced to help the men find a place to hide out. Peg being a strong, feisty woman thinks ahead to try to escape. While Jack is passed out due to Peg actions, She tries to convince Lionel to let her go. He decides to tie Peg to the bed.
It gets very hot and steamy!!! It is hard to tell if the captor or the captive is in charge!! I really enjoyed this book. I wish it could have been longer, because I would like to know what happened to Peg and Lionel. I would recommend this to everyone for a fun, quick read.
4 1/2 stars
Professor Sandwich
Carol Lynne (Author)
Rusty has loved/lusted after Professor Adam for years, but doesn't want to come between him and his partner/lover Professor Manuel. Both professors want Rusty to join them in their bed and in their lives. Four years later, Rusty is attacked, and the professors step in to help. Later that night Rusty walks in on them having sex and runs back to his room. It was very steamy sex too. Rusty eventually reveals a secret and let's them know that he is worried about jealousy and fighting. Manual and Adam try to woo / date Rusty separately, which is quite funny. The three eventually start dating and dealing with Rusty's relatives who are out for his money / fortune. Rusty is still dealing with the loss of his parents. These three form their own unique relationship.
I give the story itself an overall 3.5 stars, because I really didn't care for the ending. I felt like it just sort of stopped. Like you feel off a cliff. It didn't explain how they solved their sexual issues. I would give the love, caring, loyalty and sex between the three characters an overall 4.4 stars. I have read another book by this author and would read others. Professor Sandwich just has me wanting more.

Turquoise and Leather (Collared)
Kim Dare (Author)
This is the first book that I have read by Kim Dare. After reading a sample of the book where Eric is dancing on a table, I knew that I had to read the whole book. I am so glad that I did. I loved these characters. I enjoyed how Eric and George interacted with each other. Eric learning about his kinks and about his submissive side was funny and sweet. I liked that he was submissive, but independent at the same time.
This book had hot, sexy moments and charming, sweet moments. I will definitely look for more books by this author.

Criminal Pleasures
Darien Cox (Author)
This book had twist and turns that I did not expect, but loved. I really appreciated that we got to see all the different facets of the characters. I loved that both Brandon and Marc could be strong when then other one needed them to be. It was super hot when Marc was forceful / dominating. There were times that I cried, and when I laughed. There was lots of hot hot sex! If you like hot guys, hot sex, love, suspense, laughter, and some tears, then you will enjoy this book. I know that I sure did.

Slade (Walk Of Shame 1)
Victoria Ashley (Author)
This is my favorite kind of book. One that is very sexy and dirty with a little sweet thrown in. When I started reading, I didn't know if I would like Slade or not. I grew to love him and his dirty mouth. I loved Spade and Aspen together. I am looking forward to reading the next two stories in the series (Hemy and Cale).
Heat/Sexiness = 5 Stars!
Alpha Male With A Dirty Mouth = Hell Yes! Yum!
