Holy cow! That’s the first thing that popped into my head when I finished this read. Kate has delivered, in fine fashion, an incredible (and incredibly HAWT) story. From the first paragraph she carries a high level of sensuality throughout the length, something that is difficult to accomplish. I was nearly salivating as I imagined the sexy gear that our heroine donned, described in wonderful detail, as she prepared for her first jaunt to a fetish club.

Our author, and tour guide to the kinky unknown, Kate, has a truly authentic voice in this first person tale. I have to say I was impressed as I’m not usually a fan of first person point of view.

If you’re looking for a taste into the underground world of kink clubs, without getting smacked in the face by hardcore BDSM, go out and buy this story. Now. I mean right now.

I hope to read more into the world Nancy and Dave have introduced me to and see what wicked adventures they have in store.

“Archaic and powerful demon, Alessandro, knew never to disappoint his overlord, but Samhain night on Earth is a new experience for this red-hot guy. When a captivating scent leads him to a Halloween party, he finds Gwenny. The witch is everything he never even knew to dream of. The only problem is, he’s due back in Hell in the morning with somebody’s soul…and it looks like it may be hers.

Unable to resist Alessandro’s wicked allure, Gwenny doesn’t realize the danger she’s in until their night of passion comes to an end. If Lucifer’s demands are refused, will they both survive, or will Gwenny lose her heart and soul to her cinnamon-loving demon?”

My first jaunt into the Demon Rhelm with Ms Richards newest short story won’t be my last, this story may be short but it packs a lot into its pages. Pages that are feeled with wonderful discriptions and dialogue that flows and keeps the story moving. The two main characters are engageing and even in the short period we believe the romance that is blooming. Ms Richards has remembered that golden rule, Sex and love sceens should enhance the story not the other way around. With or with the sex this story stands on its own. Not that the love scene doesn’t heat things up to degrees that any Demon would love J. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I found myself smiling through all 40 pages.

Amelia Staker meets her Internet lover, John Quincy, for the first time in the

flesh. After a year of seeing John only through webcam, she's ready to show him a good time. Without a moment to waste, Amelia is prepared for two weeks with John—alone, with no computer screens between them—until the elevator puts a hold on those plans. Stuck in a darkened cab, their imaginations run hotter than their online trysts. Can this romance translate into a permanent future? Or will she send him packing?



As someone who found her husband through internet dating, this story sucked me in. Days, weeks, years go by and the time finally comes to meet that special cyber someone. Ms Richards captured the excitement which accompanies the first face-to-face perfectly. For a brief moment, I lived Amelia’s life, experiencing the fear, the hope, and the freshness of a relationship taking its next step.

Though the story was a fun read, it did lack conflict. I sped through the pages wondering what the catch was. Alas, there was none, making the storyline a bit too picture perfect. Still, if you’re looking for a quickie that’s flirtatious, adventurous, and full of humor, this is it.

Rogan Brockport has missed Drew Hibbard for every day of the several years since Drew suddenly ended their relationship and married a woman. Anger, loss, sadness, the emotions that he carries with him color his every day. Why did Drew do that?

When the governor of Virginia enlists Rogan’s help in stopping Drew from certain death in avenging his wife’s death, Rogan sets sail, facing the bloodiest of pirates in a battle at sea that could leave one or both of the men no more than fish food. But the pirates have nothing on facing the pain of his broken heart.

Keta Diablo’s characters have a depth not often found in such a short m/m story. While they have intense chemistry and the intimate scenes are written with passion and the fireworks such a relationship generates, their emotions are not neglected. I love a good swashbuckler, and this certainly qualifies. I also love a writer who can make me share the feelings of her characters as the story unfolds.

Tales of pirates and their tall-sailed ships are always romance classics, for good reason. Keta Diablo lets us hear the creaking of the sails as her characters deal with their past and their uncertain futures.

Jeremy has lost the great love of his life and has spent the time since trying to find Peter in the bottom of a bottle. So far, it hasn’t worked out so great. Peter’s still dead, Peter’s twin brother won’t even speak to Jeremy anymore, and, well, everything else in his life royally sucks. In short, he’s hit Rock Bottom. What will it take for him to survive the worst time of his life? Or who will it take?

Celia Kyle has a way with words and a gift with language. Her characters are amazingly real and make the reader laugh and cry with their good days and bad. It takes tremendous strength to survive the loss of someone we care about, and Ms. Kyle takes us through Jeremy’s struggle to do just that. And I loved Adam If you want to read a m/m romance with strong plot and emotional depth, this is the one.

Jeffrey is not an ordinary husband and father. And the fact that he likes to wear women’s clothing from time to time is the least of his wife, Celeste’s worries. At least, it will be the least of her worries when she finds out what his deep, dark secret is. Funny, sometimes people are just not what they seem, even when you sleep with them every night.

It was difficult to write this review for a few reasons. The story is compelling, and drives the reader to read straight through to the end in one sitting. That’s a good thing. Empress LaBlaque tells the story in first person, as Celeste finds out her husband’s secret and takes action to deal with the sudden and terrifying change in her married life. However, the excellent storyline is compromised by distracting misspellings, incorrect word usage and other such problems. If not for these issues, I would have given it at least a 4.5.

This story is a Flirt from Breathless Press. It is a snapshot of passion in the lives of the couple, with a little bit of plot just to hold the whole thing together. But it is the stuff of fantasies, after all. Janelle awaits her husband’s return from Afghanistan, all dressed in her sexiest lingerie. And when he arrives, well, I don’t want to spoil the story, but I will tell you the sparks fly! I would write more, but I refuse to write a review longer than the story! Seriously, it’s a fun story, a quickie, and sexy as heck.

Southern Rose is a tale of two ladies at the time of the Civil War. Rose is a widow, making her way as a schoolmarm, and Agnes is a seamstress with a past. Can two ladies manage to find romance in each other’s arms in the restrictive society of their time? Read and find out.

The feminist in me always cheers for women who manage to be their own people and find their own happiness in societies where they are little better than chattel. Mary Winter’s heroines are both strong women who manage to do just that. The backdrop against which the story proceeds is illustrative of the restrictions under which many women lived then...and some still do. But if a woman is willing to take chances, she may just find her soulmate. I would love to know what happens with them later. Okay? Please?

Tabby Stuart lives a peaceful, safe life. She is a CPA, with an excellent job and a nice car. Except her car has disappeared, and so, in quick succession are her purse and coat as she is kidnapped, drugged, and carried off to an Atlantic City casino. This is just the beginning of Misstaken, a suspenseful romance novel that ranks with the best of its genre.

Kerri Nelson has penned an excellent story with winning characters and exciting backdrops. Her heroine is swept from her ordinary safe life into danger and excitement she never dreamed of. Of course, Tabby’s New Year’s resolution was to live a more exciting life, like her identical twin sister Trish. It looks like her resolution is in full effect. And of course there is a dashing and handsome hero who is hopefully ready to ride to her rescue, which would be only fair since he was the one who kidnapped her to start with. Give this one a read, you won’t regret it!

Charun has been an incubus for millenia when he is offered a great opportunity. If he will wait until she is born, he can be the familiar to a witch with a tremendous destiny. Together they have the magic to stave off an armageddon that could destroy the world. If he can wait that long, and if he can convince his witch that making love with him is her destiny.

I liked this book more and more as it went along. At the beginning, with our ex-incubus hero trying to keep himself pure for his yet to be born witch, the book almost lost me. But once past that very early point, the story picks up and the characters gain dimension. The lovemaking scenes are well-written and the chemistry between the Tina and Charun exciting. This is the first of Sapphire Phelan’s books that I have read, and I plan to read more in the near future. Of course, I am a big fan of witch stories...

Cassie Archer has recently inherited her grandmother’s farm, but the quiet country life may not be as peaceful, or safe, as it seems. There has been a murder in the neighborhood, and. There has been a murder in the neighborhood, and Sheriff Garrett Daniels wonders if Cassie might not have been the real intended victim. There is certainly something in the house that is trying to tell her something. When a grandmother is a witch, death may not be enough to stop her from trying to protect and help her granddaughter.

I totally and completely loved this book. It was one of the very rare stories I can say that about. The book opens with an exciting scene that grabs the reader and pulls them into the story, wondering, what is going on? and What will happen next? Of course, this is a romance, and it’s hard to miss with an extremely hot guy in uniform, like Sheriff Daniels. A hot guy who is trying to protect her from life threatening danger. Irresistible, right? And the chemistry between Cassie and Garrett will not disappoint. This is a really fun story even if your own countryside is not populated by helpful sheriffs and witches. But wouldn’t it be fun if it were?
