Falling For My Boss - J.S. Cooper & Helen Cooper (One Night Stand #3)

Published Date: May 16, 2015

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: When Elizabeth Jeffries was hired for a job with her party gram company, she had no idea that her new boss Scott Taylor was going to have such an effect on her. He was a handsome flirt and he liked to push the boundaries of their office relationship. Only Elizabeth, with the guidance of her best friend, has decided to push right back. She wants Scott to know that he’s not the only one that can play games. Thus begins the ultimate game of cat and mouse. They both begin to tease and lure each other into their webs and then something explosive happens. The games go too far and Elizabeth is pushed to the limit. Scott doesn’t know what to think when he finds out Elizabeth’s big secret and the reason why she took the job. The truth causes everything to blow up, however neither one of them were to know that that wasn’t to be the last job that Elizabeth would take that would bring her back into his world.

What can I say about this book other than that it wittingly one of the best romances ever -- Who knew that party grams are the best thing in the world? They can bring the most unpredictable things into your lives. 

In Scott Taylor's world? It brought love and a lot laughs and sexiness.

Boss/Worker relationships always are the best things in the world other than Teacher/Student relations because of the fact that I love these power relationships. Elizabeth Jefferies and Scott Taylor brought no other than that. 

Falling For My Boss is unfortunately so addicting that you kind of, sort of, have to read this in one sitting. I sure as hell couldn't get over this book until I got into another book... But that's a story for another time. 

I don't know about the rest of you bookies, but I always put myself into the story -- Usually as the main character -- and boy, this book took me for a thrill. Luring, teasing, tangling each other into the story and the romance of the Scott Taylor and what he will do to keep one of the best assistants ever. 

4.7 out of 5 stars.

His Property - Hannah Ford (His Property #1)

Published Date: April 7, 2016

Genre: Erotica

Synopsis: Whips. Chains. Punishments. 

These are my world now, ever since gorgeous billionaire Liam Rutherford pushed me into the back of his expensive black SUV, forcing me to live with him at his fancy penthouse apartment in New York City, holding me as collateral for my father’s gambling debt. 
He claims I don’t have to do anything I’m not comfortable with. 
But that’s only because he’s convinced he’ll be able to break me down, to make me beg for his whips and chains, his rules and punishments -- and all the other twisted, filthy things he’s into. 
His chiseled abs, his intoxicating smile, his tongue pushing past my lips, his nails digging into my back… they’re making me lose my mind. I am a slave to his every desire, his every want, his every wicked whisper. 
The need for him rages inside of me, even as it makes the humiliation scorch my veins from the inside out. 
He says he’s beyond saving. 
But I’m going to do my damnedest to try… 
Before he breaks me completely. 

Oh boy, what to say about this book... 

I don't know whether I liked it or not. Seriously, it was like 10 pages and then it just stopped -- TO BE CONTINUED. Like what? Why not just finish it? But I can also understand why she didn't. 

Hannah Ford gives us a short, sweet, and full of Rutherford. 

I think this is a series that I will be continuing in the future but it won't be anytime soon.

There's not much that I cannot say about this book without giving away everything but I found that this book really was an adorable book.

3 out of 5 stars.

ARC: Virgo - Livia Lang (Erotic Zodiac #4)

Published Date: July 29, 2016

Genre: Erotica

Synopsis: Vincent has been lusting after his best friend’s brat for a year. He knows it’s so wrong to want her, but Adelina’s untouched curves are agonizingly perfect. Struggling to keep himself in control, he tries to avoid thinking about how much he wants to claim both her body and heart as his own. 

But dark desires can’t be kept secret forever.

When she is home alone one week, Vincent comes over to check on the innocent Adelina. Their sexual attraction soon reaches the bursting point, and Vincent gives in to his forbidden fantasies. He just doesn’t know if his lust will lead to happiness or ruin.

Warning: This dirty, dirty book is about an older man who falls for an innocent woman he knows is off-limits. But anything goes when it comes to love! 
Livia Lang was a new author for me and this book... Well let's just leave it at the word of sexy.

Dirty and erotic, a huge age difference but all around a hopeful mood. You wanted these characters to get together regardless of the wrongness of the whole topic. I really have no words to say other than the fact that it was a decent book but not one that I would read again. But on the other note, it took me 10 minutes to read the whole book.

Whether it was to be a short book all around or if I thought it was a good book, everyone should read the fourth installment in the Zodiac series.

I still do not understand the meaning of titling the books this way but it was an interesting book.

Body Heat - Madeline Parr

Published Date: May 16, 2016

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: Step inside Body Heat, the premier adult playground for the rich and famous, where the sex is as hot as a house on fire and anything can—and does—happen. . . 

Ivy’s marriage went seriously sideways three years ago and she still hasn’t recovered. She’s done with men, except when it comes to sex. She walks into Body Heat determined to score some smoking hot, no-strings-attached fun. 

Combat veteran Max is just as damaged as Ivy. The millionaire adrenaline junkie has discovered a certain measure of peace when he’s skydiving, rock climbing, or tearing around on his motorcycle. His visit to Body Heat is just one more attempt to quiet the chaos in his head. 

Scorching encounters soothe their troubled souls. Ivy’s razor-sharp boundaries start to crumble, and Max discovers that falling in love is the biggest thrill of all. Will their fledgling romance survive when demons from the past resurface? 

Body Heat is a 40,000-word standalone erotic romance. No cliffhangers, no cheating. Just lots of steamy encounters and a guaranteed happily-ever-after. 

As the blurb told you: Body Heat is the club that is the hottest and the most secretive to serve their customers. From their first encounter, you felt the sparks emitting from this couple. They play with each other and not in the bad way either. They are more or less building up the sexual tension between them and then it hits that moment. 

You as a reader feel like you have waited forever on it. Madeline Parr does not disappoint on delivering her happily-ever after erotic format. This will clench you and make you question Fifty Shades of Grey because in my personal opinion: This trumps that. 

Body Heat is a place to go to and if real. Bringing broken people together is one of the most satisfying encounters to read. Demons will be vanquished in this book and you will learn to fall in love. 

With a 4 out of 5 stars, I will blog you later, awesome book nerds. 

Pieced Together - Kelly Moore (Broken Pieces #2)

Published Date: March 29, 2016

Genre: Erotica

Synopsis: Kyren couldn’t get over killing Brogan’s father, even though he did it to save her. The demons of his own past took control, and he left her when she needed him most. In the aftermath of their agonizing breakup, Kyren and Brogan sought healing on very different paths. She moved to a remote island in Maine and started a new life, while he isolated himself on his yacht, and almost drowned in booze and guilt. After three long years, they’re each in a good place. Neither can forget the intense, passionate love they shared, but they’re both sure it’s over for good. Too much time has passed. There’s too much old hurt. 

Fate intervenes, however, and places Kyren on Brogan’s doorstep. For both of them, it’s like they were never apart. His body craves hers, and she immediately longs to submit to his magnetism. Brogan is terrified of giving in to their passion. Can he be the man she needs him to be? Will he break her heart again? She’s not the same person she was back then. She’s stronger, and she has a big secret. Has he learned from his own demons? And most importantly, when she comes clean, will he be able to handle the truth? 

As so learned from the first book, Kelly Moore loves to switch up the POVs without any notice. Mainly this is in Kyren's voice and his demons lie along the lines of PTSD. One of the worst things something can happen. With Brogan's help, he was able to release some of it but from the first book, he left because he didn't think that he could ever protect her after the whole ordeal on learning and experiencing her story of her father's abuse. 

Three years ago, they were broken. But together, they pieced each other back together again and created the best of the best of their character. Finding your way back home is truly a beautiful thing as Kyren romances Brogan yet again. But there is another character that he needs to win over -- Several new characters. 

As Kyren likes to call it, fate has brought them back together but as fate will have it, it will most likely tear them apart.

Broken Pieces - Kelly Moore (Broken Pieces #1)

Published Date: September 10, 2015

Genre: Erotica

Synopsis: His touch is scorching hot and rough, just how I like it. It's just sex. I don't believe in love, but he makes me feel things I have never felt. I want to try. I want to trust him with my secrets, but there is a good chance he will leave. He will see how broken I am. He is what I need to fix the broken pieces of my heart. At a very young age, violence and secrets forced Brogan to escape the only life she knew. Now a young woman with a good career, she hopes to finally forget her past. She is tormented by demons in her dreams, and it has threatened every sexual relationship she has ever had. Brogan meets Kyren Nolan, a sexy ex-military man. He is a yacht builder who has made his own wealth. He knows what he wants the minute he meets Brogan. He wants her, and his first meeting with her lands him on the ground. He doesn't take no for an answer. They start a passionate affair that turns into more. He teaches her that a gentle touch can create as much heat between them. They both struggle for control. But Kyren has his own scars and secrets. When their pasts collide, will they be able to overcome the broken pieces of both their lives together?

This was an interesting book to read from an erotic point of view because although there were certain points of that aforementioned genre, it didn't focus on that. I would rather call this a tragedy in the making.

Lies, secrets, and scars will be revealed and it will make your heart burn with animosity for the characters that did that to make the characters the way they are. Although it wouldn't have been a pretty decent book without this. Now working this book, you learn how broken people can truly be.

Breaking down walls and vanquishing the demons of the past: It will be a challenge for these characters as they give and take the strength that they need.

With the version that I received, there were safety precautions taken because the formatting really threw me off and so it took me a lot longer to read the book than it should have. I understand that they are precautions but there should be a level of trust between authors and certain bloggers.

Anyways, the POV changes a lot -- at least I think so -- between the two main characters.

Deep seated issues come out in this book and it truly is terrifying that this does happen to some families and we are truly unaware of these aforementioned issues. Kelly Moore does a pretty good job at creating this sub plot build up to the climax.

Though this didn't keep you on your toes as wanted, it still was a decent novel to read. So with a 3 out of 5 stars, I will blog you later, awesome book nerds.

ARC: Top Bottom Switch - Chelle Bliss

Published Date: June 21, 2016

Genre: Erotica

Synopsis: Ret North knows exactly who he is—a Dominant male with an insatiable sexual appetite. He’s always been a top, searching for his bottom…until a notorious switch catches his eye.

Alese Kane has grown tired of her usual partners. She’s been watching Ret for months, wanting to run her tongue along his hard muscles. But his need for total control stops her.

Ret worries that a relationship with Alese would be impossible, but his giant ego and even larger cock tell him otherwise. Unable to deny his attraction to her any longer, Ret convinces Alese to submit to him. 

When Ret dominates Alese, will she submit or will she top from the bottom?

I'll be honest, I was at my wisdom teeth surgery/removal while I read this. So I was very drugged and yet I found this book to be extremely amazing. It is to be considered a short yet sweet story. It is full of trust, love, and who am I kidding?

Chelle Bliss is one filthy writer and I love every single second of it. This was my first time reading her but I couldn't get enough of how dirty this book was. Don't get me wrong, a relationship that entails the things that Ret and Alese do, does include a lot of trust but the way Bliss went about it, well it was dirty. 

Top Bottom Switch was a fantastic short story and I can easily rate this a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Will you take the chance to read the short version of Fifty Shades or will you shy away from dirty words?

ARC: Bad Teacher - Clarissa Wild

Published Date: June 28, 2016

Genre: Romance/Erotica

Synopsis: My name is Thomas and I’m always hard.

No really, that’s my last name. Thomas Hard, the pleasure is all mine … literally.
I can’t help it that my name suits me well.
You know what else suits me well? That girl sitting across the bar, with her lips right where I tell them to be. I want her, and when I want something, it’s gonna be mine.
One night. No names. No phone numbers. Just me, her, and pure pleasure.
Except, that one girl turns out to be the biggest mistake of my life.
Why?
Because I broke my cardinal rule …
Never bang a student.

Author’s note: Don’t like reckless decisions & unbridled screwing? Don’t love girls that are obsessed with ice cream, rainbows, and unicorns? Don’t enjoy a bit of corny humor sprinkled on top? Then this book is not for you. And last but not least, if you hate cats with giant jewels … Don’t even bother.

Cardinal rules are for pansies. This book is not and you will need a fan indeed to cool down from reading Clarissa Wild's new project: Bad Teacher. Sure, as the title presents, this book does included a taboo subject of romances that occur between students and teachers, especially in college. 

Hailey broke her mind, body, and soul by giving herself to a man that she doesn't even know but that is the fun in entering college. New identity and a new life. Lucky Hailey. 

Thomas Hard is absolutely enthralling because he is sexy, dominating, and broken. Only the right kind of love can fix him but can Hailey be that one? Maybe I am attracted to taboo stories but I just felt like -- scratch that -- I did devour this book in one sitting because this is a book that you just cannot put down. If you do, there is something wrong. 

This is a beautiful 5 out of 5 stars and I hope that there will be a sequel in the making. At least, those are the rumors and all. 

ARC: Mr. Romantic - J.A. Huss (Mister #2)

Published Date: June 22, 2016

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: Charm is the key to the world.

Charisma, magnetism, sex appeal—that ‘it’ factor that can’t be described.
Nolan Delany has it is spades.
The infamous Mr. Romantic.
And maybe he is out of my league… But I’m going to give it the old college try anyway. Because I didn’t travel two thousand miles for a job interview at his request just to be put out like trash.
Don’t underestimate me, Mr. Delaney.
I’m really not as innocent as I look.

Hello, Nolan Delany, or should I call you Mr. Romantic? 

Another stand-alone part to the Mister series and you have to read this. But please be forewarned... This book may cause you to need a support group after finishing this book. If you cannot handle fantasy scenes or role-play scenarios, this book isn't for you. 

This book does include a fantasy rape scene and if you cannot handle that, we will have a problem. 

But when you see JA Huss's name come up, you are already warned because JA Huss is very twisty. But I mean, that is why we, Shrikers have come together because we are twisted in the mind. But JA Huss knows how to put it into words. 

Mr. Romantic will make you feel a rollercoaster of emotions. Especially when the aforementioned scene plays out. But this is a book that I would read over and over again. My heart palpitates for him and this book because it will 

As always, JA Huss ties in her other books to the story as always and damn, it is fantastic. I would definitely read the story from Mr. Perfect to this because although it is a stand-alone, it is still crucial to know each and everyone of these characters. 

I fell in love with Mr. Romantic because he sure as hell romanced me out of my shoes and such. When you learn more and more about Nolan, the more and more you fall in love with him. 

5 out of 5 Romantic stars as you see the story unfold even further.

Taken By Two - Sam J.D. Hunt

Published Date: March 6, 2016

Genre: Erotica

Synopsis: Taken by two enigmatic men, Penelope Sedgewick overcomes demons from the past to learn to thrive in a thrilling new dangerous world. When the missing billionaire Nathaniel Slater reappears from oblivion and kidnaps her, she’s sure his dark friend, Rex Renton, is the true one to fear. The nature of their close relationship intrigues her, and as the three are thrown together in a fight for their lives, the sizzling chemistry between them explodes with more heat than the exotic jungle Rex calls home. As each of the unlikely lovers seek redemption for past sins, the three-way love between them grows into an unbreakable bond. 

MMF/Bi/Ménage/HEA/M/M with heroine involved only 

Mature adult readers only; explicit sexual content and frequent profane language. Fun erotic adventure, not dark, not BDSM. This is a THREE way love story (NOT a love triangle).

Sam and I had the funniest conversation (well I thought it was funny) about her book because she warned me that this wasn't the typical love story. It was the three way story and in no way in hell a stupid love triangle. Not that I am bashing on love triangles but if it is like Twilight, I think we have a problem. 

She's not good at fitting into genres and that has never hit the mark so accurately. I don't think that I have ever really enjoyed a book like this because when you think of a threesome, you often think of a girl taken from both ends, which does happen as a forewarning. But if you aren't okay with the M/M romances, this is not the book for you. 

I know that I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it can be said that it was hot and sexy. Sam does a fantastic job at creating a hard to breach topic into a nice one where you can think of karma sutra. Because this is not your typical romance. To me, it wasn't a 5 star read but I think it was more or less a 4.2 out of 5 stars.

ARC: Gagged - Aubrey Parker

Published Date: May 17, 2016

Genre: Erotic

Synopsis: “I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do,” Caspian tells me. “I’ll just force you to do as you wish.” 

I’ve always been a good girl. Partly by choice, partly because of my mother’s shame and my father’s belt. 
Caspian White is strong. Handsome. Powerful. Frightening. The world knows his name, envies his wealth, suspects his kinks, and fears his wrath. 
I’ve kept myself pure, and that’s drawn Caspian to me like a predator to prey. 
I don’t want to do what he wants me to. I just want to conclude my business with Caspian and go. 
But Caspian seems to have been watching me for a while. I’m a target, and he knows me too well. 
I’m afraid he’ll force me to do things I’ll regret … and that if he does, my shameful half will enjoy it. 

From light to darkness, Aubrey Parker brings us another thrilling story from Inferno Falls and it is sexy, dark, and beautiful. When we first met Caspian, he was a coldhearted man with a dark past. Light shines through as Aurora squirms her way into his life. More like shouts but I loved every single moment that Aubrey brought with this book.

This is a spin off of Trevor's Harem but it doesn't steer away from the sexiness.

Everyone in this story has a gag in their life. Literally and figuratively. But as these characters break through their bondage, you will fall in love with their story. Be warned that there are situations that will make you feel uncomfortable but Aubrey can make you feel situated enough to continue the story. Though I didn't like the minor characters at all, Aurora and Caspian has my heart from the Inferno Falls.

Will you take the chance to get rid of your bonds by finding your light to your darkness?

Je Suis à Toi - Pepper Winters (Monsters in the Dark #3.5)

“Life taught me an eternal love will demand the worst sacrifices. A transcendent love will split your soul, cleaving you into pieces. A love this strong doesn’t grant you sweetness—it grants you pain. And in that pain is the greatest pleasure of all.”

Genre: Erotic

Synopsis: Q made me the happiest esclave in the world. He gave me his heart, his empire, his ruthless unforgiving love. And life finally left us in peace.

A man like my maître has special needs though, growing stronger as our lives intertwine. The only way to survive his monster is to agree to all his desires.

Including his latest wish.

I’m his.

And I won’t refuse.

Review: I found this book incredibly erotic and amazing. This was the first time that I read Pepper Winters but I can guarantee that it won't be the last time. A novella that held the darkness of people's hearts and told the romantic nature of it all.

This encompassed my love for these dark tales and I can assure you that my reviews for the Monsters in the Dark series is definitely not over now that I finally got a taste of it. Without truly realizing it, this is the book that shows how messed up I am because I loved something that shouldn't be in my dictionary of affection. Q and Tessa are ready to thieve away your heart.

Will you accept the challenge of letting them? This is a 4.3 out of 5 stars.

Excerpt

“Don’t struggle. You know I’ll keep you safe.” Q’s murmur danced down my back.

My panic receded as trust billowed fast and true.

Q was born into darkness, but he’d never baptized me in his blackest desires. And because of that, I could implicitly say he spoke the truth. No matter what he did to me, he would never truly harm me.

Q paused, his tattooed chest soaking. His feathered sparrows fluffing off droplets almost alive on his skin. “I told you once never to fall for me. That I didn’t want the curse of breaking your heart while I broke so many other pieces of you.” His hands landed on my breasts, cupping them reverently. “Yet you fought me, just like you said you would. You fell for me, just like you promised me you would. And now, you’re willing to give me what I need even after I tricked you and lied.”

I swayed as I fell even deeper for this complex husband of mine. Q was all my fantasies in one glorious lifetime. The fact he finally wanted to share me with his child spoke volumes about his capacity to love.

“I’m so glad you ignored me, esclave.” His fingertips branded my nipples with pain. “So fucking happy you married me.” Pushing me backward, he smiled harshly as my spine met the pool wall. His chest strained as he sucked in a heavy breath. “You’re so fucking beautiful.”

My heart hammered in my ears as he kissed me.

His tongue laced with mine, and I sank into the sweet embrace, knowing it would be the last I received tonight. The air crackled with an impending storm. Q’s control frayed every second, his eyes drenching in determination and the salacious need to hurt.

Breaking the kiss, he opened his hand, revealing the other item he’d retrieved.

A tiny pair of silver scissors.

Haven’t met Q & Tess yet?
