The ancient mating ritual, known as the Cria, is a race every man in the Jaguarundi tribe wants to win and no woman wants to complete—except for Aleta Cortez. She is in the race of her life in what is supposed to be her final Cria. Her father, the Jaguarundi tribal leader, is overbearing and still believes in the tradition of the outdated race. Aleta has other ideas and intends to “win” the race, just as she always has for the past nine years. But fate has other plans and her former lover, Luiz, shows up to stake his claim. That claim is her.

This is a wonderful tale about shapeshifters set in the Brazilian rainforests, with vivid descriptions that made me truly feel as if I was right there in the action. Ms Rock has a flair for balancing the explicit sex scenes with the conflict the characters must face, and I was rooting for the couple all the way. Especially since Aleta is a wonderfully strong female character, something not always found in erotic stories.

Lies, revenge, a complicated plot, and lots of hot sex with some BDSM thrown into the mix make this a wonderful story.

Conner Mitchum is a warrior from a planet known for its culture based on BDSM. He’s on an undercover mission that starts at a luxury fantasy ship where he meets a submissive who immediately tries to kill him.

Rhea is out to find the man she believes responsible for killing her family. She has tracked Conner to a pleasure ship and intends to act his submissive before killing him. When undercover missions are part of the mix, anything can happen, including falling in love with an unlikely person.

I enjoyed the well-developed characters, and the conflicts they dealt with both internally and externally. And the BDSM sexual scenes were nice and steamy.

Deputy Jace Maxwell looks out for Sarah Tennison, and wants her. Although the fiery feisty woman is a friend, he knows he can’t have her. Because as much as he craves Sarah, he also lives with a secret, fierce attraction for men. And Sarah just won't understand.



Sarah has suppressed her love for Jace, knowing he only sees her as a chore. Enter cowboy Jasper Simmons. Jasper is as sweet and gentle as Jace is hard. Sarah tries to keep both men separate in her mind, but can’t stop fantasizing about being tangled and sweaty in bed with both of them.



When Jasper finds a dead woman nailed to a tree, he is thrown into contact with Jace. The proximity unearths an attraction neither of them had felt before. Seeing Jace with Jasper in an emotion-filled situation gets Sarah wondering if her roommate is keeping secrets. Then Jasper admits to Sarah he once had a crush on another man, Jace suddenly kisses her in a shocking lapse of control, and suddenly Sarah's fantasies are taking on a vivid reality. Will sweet, awkward Jasper be the key to two becoming three?

If you’re looking for an exciting murder mystery mixed with off the charts HOT love scenes, then you need to read Becoming Three. The characters are wonderfully developed with each having a distinct personality making them living breathing individuals in my mind. I found myself deeply involved in the who-done-it aspect with the mysterious murders as I would in any good murder mystery, and I have to say the action between our two heroes and heroine are not for the faint of heart! I look forward to more of Cameron’s works.

MacKensie and Alexander Fontaine swapped houses for a two-week vacation. While Mackensie is exploring Alexander’s house he is missing his flight to her house. Not being able to get another flight out he decides to go back home. Where he finds Mackensie in a most interesting position in his dungeon. He is angry that she has opened the only locked door in his home, yet her nervousness and her actions bring out his protective nature. Growing up without parents and in the foster care system Mackensie has a skewed idea of love and pain, especially spanking. When she discovers and opens Alexander’s dungeon she begins to investigate and imagine just how it might feel. Once she is caught, Alexander and Mackensie strike a deal for her to be his submissive for the remainder of the vacation. As they begin a tentative relationship they must also deal with an obsessive submissive who goes over the line in an attempt to win Alexander. Will Mackensie finally trust Alexander to tell him all and let him in?

I loved this story from beginning to end. Cherise Sinclair writes a wonderful story that pulls you in with great characters so full of emotion and depth. I enjoyed the love and trust that developed between Alexander and Mackensie. Alexander is a wonderful man and Dom. Being very observant he sees the pain and fear in Mackensie right away. Mackensie is a sweet woman who not only works her way into Alexander’s heart but the readers as well. She is spunky and willing to try just about anything never one to back down from a challenge. These two seem to be made for each other. The beautiful bond that the two share is a special one that not many can find. Even the secondary characters pull you in as well and have you wanting to know more about their lives. As scary as the other Doms like Drake and Steele are they still capture your interest. I would love to visit them and the club Chains again to find out more about their adventures. This book is not only a hot read but it is also well written and delves into the strong emotions and the damaged psyche of a woman that needs more than just reassurance. I for one am eagerly awaiting the next book by Cherise Sinclair, this author has quickly become an automatic buy for me.
