Three years ago, Kara Sorrento’s husband died in the line of duty. The fact that they never started a family is the one thing she can’t lay to rest. Knowing that she can never love again, Kara decides to conceive a child in a more … non-traditional way. All she needs now is the ideal DNA, and she’s found it in Derek Martinez. Physically he’s a perfect specimen, but when he suggests changes to her artificial-insemination contract, he threatens to disrupt not only that plan, but Kara’s entire highly structured and ultra-organized world. Just as she opens her heart to Derek, a shocking blast from her past will make her question everything she once believed.



Wow...as an author myself, I was blown away by this story. It has everything...wonderfully developed characters, a delicious love story and a bit of suspense thrown in. I absolutely adored the building, halting relationship between Kara and Derek. And I think the author hit the mark (at least with me) because I fell completely in love with Derek. He's the quintessential hero. And the way he wove his patient and loving way around the anal-retentive Kara was beautiful to watch. Seriously, this was one of the best books I've read in a very long time. Nice job, Alanna Coca. I can't wait to read more from you!

Five years ago a terrible betrayal tore Roman and Savannah apart. Roman’s burgeoning interest in the world of BDSM and his desire to master Savannah lead them deep into the heart of sexual fetish. A weekend away at the house of a high powered Dom was supposed to be the next step in their exploration of their Dominant/submissive relationship, but when their host convinces Roman to turn Savannah over to him for training, their love is stretched beyond the breaking point. Savannah, believing that Roman has given her away forever, flees, but not before suffering at the hands of the sadistic Dom. Roman knows nothing of what she’s suffered, and believes Savannah left him because of his desires. When they meet again five years later will the lies that separate them keep them apart, or will remembered love be enough to bring them back together?

I loved this story from the opening paragraph. The intense love Savannah and Roman had for each other was beautiful. Their mutual desire to please each other led them to experiment in the Lifestyle but one very wrong turn tore them apart. The healing Savannah had to go through and the suffering Roman endured when he loses her is heartbreaking but realistic. Not to be trite but in this case, love conquers all and I thought the ending perfectly fitting for the story. I don't often read books more than once, but this one will stay on my "bookshelf".

Tessa and Zac are the perfect couple. Only one thing stands in their way. Tessa has a problem and she is afraid to talk to Zac about it. Zac has already figured it out and waits for Tessa to confide in him but instead he finds that she confides in another. Zac confronts Tessa about it and instead of talking they both retreat behind lies and ruin their relationship. Tessa is too afraid to tell anyone what she wants. After talking to his good friend David, Zac decides that he must tell Tessa about his past and hope that she will accept him. Zac blames himself for their problem never guessing Tessa’s real reason. In a desperate move Zac takes Tessa to David’s house during a weekend BDSM party and shows her what his lifestyle is really like. Will Tessa give in to her needs? Can she love Zac the way he is?

It was nice to read about a Dom with some insecurities of his own but when he finally takes charge he does it with grace. While the reader cheers her on Tessa finally throws caution to the wind and tells Zac what she wants. As Zac gives Tessa what she needs and wants, he does it with love. The bond that they have only grows stronger with their admissions. Showing us that communication is the key to a healthy and happy relationship.

This book is a great read. I was hooked from the first page. Jennifer Leeland only gets better with each book. Fast paced and well written this story should be on every BDSM lovers reading list.

A chance lunchtime meeting between Catherine and Justin has both parties intrigued. They both feel an instant attraction but Catherine is not ready to do anything about it. Little does she realize that Justin has already recognized her. It seems that they both have been to a mutual friends weekly party. When Catherine feels the need she goes to David’s house to exercise her demons. Each time it must be anonymous but one night a man breaks through her barriers. David sees both of their reactions and breaks his own rules and brings them together again. Will Justin be the man to heal Catherine? Can she finally remove her mask?

This was a wonderful story. A quick read that grabs the reader from the very beginning and does not let you go until the end. Justin is a great hero, an alpha male willing to let Catherine choose for herself and lets her deal with her demons on her own terms. The bond of trust that they begin to build is a wonderful read. Each character is full of emotion and endears themselves to the readers. They must decide if this love is for real and let it continue into real life or keep it separate and secret. This story is a hot read that should not be missed.
