Synopsis: Jenny Beaumont’s brother Will told her countless times about his plans to follow his friend Cody Drake to the mining town of Coloma, and the innocent eighteen-year-old can’t help but romanticize the California Gold Rush. When she faces the prospect of being married off to an older man by her greedy relatives after Will’s tragic death, Jenny heads west to fulfill his dream. 

In the months he has spent waiting for Will to join him, Cody has become close friends with Nigel Simms, an Englishman who recently saved his life. After he finally gets word that Will has made it to Coloma, Cody is shocked to discover that the new arrival is actually Will’s little sister Jenny disguised as a boy. Learning of his friend’s passing is bad enough, and now he’ll have to look out for Jenny as well. As far as he is concerned, protecting Jenny means taking legal custody of her, and he is pleased when Nigel agrees to share the responsibility. 

Both men make it clear to Jenny that she will be expected to obey them or face the consequences, and furthermore, as their ward she will be cared for like a child. Before she knows it, she finds herself being bathed, dressed like a little girl, and spanked on her bare bottom when she is naughty. But despite her embarrassment at such treatment, Jenny quickly discovers that the two men’s firm-handed dominance and loving correction awaken a fire in her that she never knew existed. 

Cody and Nigel didn’t plan to fall in love with the same woman, but in no time at all Jenny has captured both of their hearts. Soon they are sharing their little ward in the most intimate way possible, teaching her all the ways that a man—or two men at once—can make her blush with shame and ache with need at the same time. But keeping a beautiful young woman out of harm’s way in a rough mining town is no easy task, even for two men. Can Jenny truly trust Cody and Nigel to keep their little girl safe no matter what? 

Publisher’s Note: Staking Their Claim is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes including threesomes, age play, anal play, elements of medical play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Review: Jenny has lost everything. Her brother has passed and her greedy family has promised her to a wealthy man. Disguised as a man she heads to the mining town of  Coloma to stake her claim and make it on her own.

Cody cannot believe the full figured woman he runs into used to be his friend's little sister. She isn't so little anymore and he is determined to take care of her. His friend Nigel agrees to help him tend to Jenny in her time of mourning but taking care of her turns into a love that neither of them can deny.

Under the care of two handsome protectors, Jenny is determined to make the most of her fresh start. I loved Staking Their Claim because it stayed true to the time period. You didn't read about Jenny already knowing about sex when she was just a virgin. We follow her journey towards healing and love in the most unexpected places. I also loved the slight age play undertone. It wasn't heavy or just thrown in. It was subtle and didn't take from the story. I really enjoyed reading this and cannot wait for more from Sinclair.

Alpha

Synopsis: Zane 

I knew one day she’d come looking for answers, I just didn’t expect that day to be today. Hell, I wasn’t any more ready now than I had been six years ago. But here she was asking questions about something she knew nothing about. About people she knew nothing about. 

People. 

I used that term loosely. We were monsters, all of us. Killers. And she sought out the most heinous of all: me. 

Aria Hale came with questions, questions to which only I had the answers, and she had every right to know the truth. But that didn’t mean I’d give it to her. In fact, I’d do whatever it took to keep her from ever finding out what really happened that night. 

I could live with blood on my hands, but I couldn’t live knowing she hated me. 

And if she ever did find out, she would hate me. 

Aria 

I guess he thought I’d leave the past alone. Let it die its miserable death. He didn’t know me very well though. 

Six years had passed since the night my life changed forever. The night I lost everything. Six long years since the only man who had any answers at all disappeared. Zane Von was the key to avenging what had happened that night. To understanding why they died and I didn’t. 

Neither of us knew it then, but that night, our lives were bound together irrevocably, whether he liked it or not. If he thought I’d walk away, turn my back on my past, well, then he didn't know me. 

Please note:Alpha is a dark paranormal (shapeshifter) romance intended for mature readers. It is a complete story. No cliffhanger.

My Review: From the cover alone I knew I wanted to read this. I knew I wanted more from Zane and Aria. There was an air of mystery surrounding Alpha just from the synopsis. Aria goes looking for Zane to get more answers about that night. That horrible night that left her without her family and the one man she truly loved.

Zane, the bad. The Alpha. The man wrapped in secrets left that life behind him. He always knew that someday Aria would come looking for him, searching for the truth but sometimes it's the lies we tell ourselves that keeps us strong.

I have been an avid Knight fan since I started reviewing three years ago. In her newer novels, she has taken a darker more edgier twist. There has been suspense, love, danger, and of course a red bottom or two. I was grabbed from the start and knew I wouldn't put this down until I knew Zane and Aria's future.

Her Fiery Viking

Rating: 4 *'s

Synopsis: The heat is on when a cursed Viking clashes with the woman of his dreams. 

Over a thousand years ago, a witch hexed four charming Viking brothers, each with one of the four elements. They live with these curses today, doomed to suffer for their past crimes forever. 

Mikkel just might be too hot to handle. He's an immortal Viking, cursed to burst into an uncontrollable ball of fire when enraged. After centuries of tragedy, Mikkel fears the fury within him will endanger anyone he lets get too close. 

When Joanna--a smart, sexy engineer angry at the world--explodes into his life, Mikkel can’t resist her smoldering allure. Has the time finally come to let someone in and embrace the fire? Or will they be scorched by their fiery passion? 

This mature romance includes incendiary bar room shenanigans, high-speed car escapades, and a love strong enough to heal even the most damaged of hearts. 

This STANDALONE novella is part of the "Her Elemental Viking" series which can be read in any order. There are no cliffhangers, and each short ends as it should: happily ever after.

My Review: Being an immortal viking in the modern age proves to be difficult. Mikkel feels trapped in a world of loneliness. He has to watch his attitude because if gets too upset well he bursts into flames but when Joanna comes again, he begins to feel something he hasn't felt before.

Joanna is  in a class of her own. Haunted by her own demons and full of anger herself, she struggles to maintain normality. Can these two save each other or will they both be swallowed by the fire burning within?

I haven't read A.J. Tipton before and I usually struggle with paranormal because it has to have a certain flavor to keep my interests. Once I started Her Fiery Viking I couldn't put it down. There is such a unique twist to it and I really enjoyed reading it. The only thing I would've liked to see is more of an emphasis on Mikkel's past but overall it was a wonderful story and I look forward to reading more of Tipton's work.

Synopsis: Orphaned by an attack on her family’s wagon train, Jessica finds herself stranded a thousand miles from Boston, the only home she has ever known. Only one man—a rough, dusty cowboy named Johnny—stands between her and the perils of the West, and he quickly makes it clear that he is ready to do whatever needs to be done to keep Jessica safe… whether she likes it or not. 

When the unlikely pair stumble upon a cattle drive and they are offered employment, Johnny doesn’t hesitate to accept. But after Jessica loudly expresses her disdain for his plan and for cowboys in general, Johnny decides it is time for drastic action. After a hard, embarrassing spanking followed by a tearful apology to the trail boss, Jessica is left with both a sore backside and a strange yet undeniably powerful need to be held close and comforted by her handsome protector. 

With Johnny by her side—and claiming an ever bigger place in her heart with each passing day—Jessica begins to adjust to life on the trail. But a cattle drive is a dangerous place for anyone, let alone a city girl with a penchant for disobedience. If he ever wants the chance to make Jessica his wife, Johnny knows he’s going to have to take her firmly in hand before she gets herself hurt or killed. Even if it means a painful, humiliating bare-bottom strapping she’ll never forget, one way or another he’ll teach her the ways of the west. 

Publisher’s Note: The Ways of the West is an erotic romance novel that contains sexual scenes and spankings, including domestic discipline in a historical setting. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Review: In the first few pages Dawson had me in tears. My heart ached for Jessica when she became orphaned and without a plan. Stranded in the unknown territory that is the West she isn't sure what she'll do. Johnny knew the moment he placed eyes on Dawson that she would be his bride someday. He'll stop at nothing to protect her and keep her safe.

I love Dawson's writing style because she focuses more on the story line than the spankings and sex. While there are some spankings and sex, it is mostly about Jessica's loss and her way towards rebuilding her future. I have grown to like the easy flow of Dawson's stories. As you read them you can feel the natural rhythm of her writing style.

Seeing Jessica's growth from bratty orphan to hard working cattle woman, I became obsessed and couldn't put this down. With Johnny's firm hand and Jessica's stubbornness to change her attitude about the hand she was dealt, it proved to be a fantastic read.

Realizing Her Dream

Rating: 4 *'s

Synopsis: When Casey Reeves loses her husband to an unexpected heart attack, she gives herself a new mantra: To live life as if it were an amazing adventure, as every single day matters. Unfortunately, one of the things on her bucket list looks far better on paper, and when Casey finds herself up in a plane, strapped to a tall, handsome man, about to undertake her very first parachute jump, she realizes that she'd do just about anything to be able to back out. 

Paul Jackson has been a parachute instructor ever since he retired early, and has seen his fair share of terrified women, but when Casey hysterically promises to do anything he asks in return for being able to return to solid ground safely—even let him spank her—he's amused, and not a little intrigued. He's also more than willing to accept her bargain. 

Casey finds herself taking a leap of faith—in more ways than one. The two begin their journey together, spending some time on a luxurious yacht, in a tropical rainforest and even in a ranch in outback Australia, as they work their way through her list. 

What they discover is that life has a tendency not to follow carefully designed plans. With Paul beside her, Casey quickly learns that living every day to its fullest entails far more than she’d ever imagined. And by her side throughout the action, danger and laughter is a man who not only has no hesitation in reddening her bottom when she deserves it, but can send her soaring into ecstasy with a single look or a touch of his hand. 

Finding a new love to equal—or even exceed—her old one was not even on Casey's bucket list but now that she has, can they make it work? Is Paul really the man of her dreams? 

Best-selling author Maggie Ryan and newcomer Laurel Jane have put their heads and their pens together to come up with this, an exciting tale of romance, lust, love, spanking and adventure. If the subject of domestic discipline or explicit erotica offends you, please do not read this book.

My Review: Casey is on a mission to live her life instead of spend her days mourning. She has lost her husband due to an unexpected heart attack. She has decided to make the most of her life and enjoy every moment. With a mantra to live every moment and a bucket list in tow she sets out to achieve her dreams.

Paul feels a fire when he spits the spitfire that is Casey. After hearing Casey promise she can have her bottom spanked raw if she jumps from the plane, Paul knows he wants more. Is it all just a dream?

Jane and Ryan bring us a sweeter erotica filled with love, loss, and renewed hope. There are some twists and heavy erotica scene but there is a sweet undertone throughout the story. I really enjoyed going along for Casey's adventure as she finds herself falling for Paul and hoping that this is her second chance at love. I hope to see more from newcomer Jane.

Synopsis: The day my father agreed to testify against Terrence Randall, one of the most ruthless drug traffickers in North America, was the day I became the target of the drug lord’s enraged vengeance. I was the one thing that stood in the way of Daddy’s testimony, and the one thing that could save Randall. The man would stop at nothing to get his hands on me. 

I was prepared for what was coming — as prepared as one could be when vanishing into the U.S. Marshal’s Witness Protection Program. 

I just wasn’t prepared for him. 

For ex-Navy SEAL turned mercenary Lake Freeman, escorting Lily Cross into the Witness Protection Program was just another job — until a better offer came along. Lake couldn’t have cared less about the life he’d been hired to protect. After all, she was a part of the very organization that had cost him so much already. 

At least he never expected to care. 

But when forced into a decision he never thought he’d have to make, the mission became one of survival for himself and his beautiful charge. Lake knew that in order to protect her, he’d need to bring the feisty and unpredictable Lily to heel — he couldn't keep her safe if he couldn't keep her under control. 

But that protective urge quickly turned into something else, something dark ... and his need to conquer, to claim, overrode all else. 

He would keep her safe. He would keep her protected. But he would make her his, as well. 

Now, all he had to do was figure out how to keep them both alive long enough to do it... 

Publisher's Warning: Intended for mature readers. 18 and over only! 

This is a MF BDSM **dark** romantic suspense. If dark romance is not for you, then you should pass this one by.

Themes include: graphic sexuality, pervasive D/s, exhibitionism, spanking, bondage, anal play and other BDSM activities. If such content might offend you, please do not purchase this book. 

Word count: 66,328 words

My Review: Lily Cross is stubborn as they come. She knows her life is in danger and in to order to keep that safe she has to adhere to Lake's demands. She knew this day was coming but wasn't prepared for the tough as nails man named Lake.

Lake sees this as just another job. This will be his last job. When he finds feelings stirring for her he knows he'll stop at nothing until Lily is his and only his. With a firm hand he sets out to mold Lily into the beautiful submissive she can be if she'd just surrender control.

I have read stories by both Knight and Evans. I love how strong of a story they can weave together. This was my first dark romance so I was hesitant to read it but once I started I couldn't put it down. The best stories are the ones that make you forget where you are. I felt as if I were a shadow on the wall reading Lily's story. While some scenes made me cringe I knew that everything is only temporary. Another hit for Evans and Knight.

Synopsis: Twelve years after a tragic accident changes her life forever, a desperate Eve is driven to seek comfort and pleasure in the arms of strangers. A few hours of anonymous sex with a man named Nate gives her more pleasure than she ever dreamed possible. Once succumbing to his erotic coercion to enter into a sex-only affair, Eve soon discovers all the different ways a man with a creative imagination can give a woman with limitations the exciting, pleasurable adventures she craves. 

Nate Radcliff never has trouble forgetting a woman, until he spends a night of sex with a woman who insists on keeping her face hidden in the dark. A chance meeting few weeks later reveals that Eve is blind, and Nate becomes determined to give her the sex she craves. 

For weeks, Eve basks in the decadent pleasures both Nate and his friends give her. But she keeps herself guarded, even when Nate insists their affair is more than has grown into something more for him. Just as Eve becomes more open to a future with him, her best friend, Holly, returns to town. Soon, Holly’s jealousy and possessiveness drives a wedge between her and Nate that nearly costs her the man she loves and her life.

My Review: It's been twelve years since the accident. Every year since then on the anniversary of the accident Eve immerses herself in a night of anonymous sex to help her forget. What happens though when you meet your fling again?

Nate becomes hooked on Eve after spending a night with her. He has a chance encounter with her and knows he'll stop at nothing until she becomes his. Eve finally begins to open up to being in a relationship with Nate when her best friend comes back to town. Can Eve and Nate remain together despite a jealous best friend?

I have just recently discovered Wane and fallen in love. I know to expect a strong story line, hot sex, and a surprise here and there. Blindsided teaches us that beauty is more than what we can see. Sometimes it's about what we feel. I read this in a matter of hours and know that I will be around for book two in the series. There is an interesting twist in Blindsided and I have to give Wane huge props for taking such a risk because it showcases why readers read Erotica. We read to feel, not see.

Synopsis: Career woman Tabitha is less than excited when her boyfriend, Neal, insists that she take a break from her high-stress job in Chicago and move with him to Little Haven. Despite her initial disdain for the town, Tabitha eventually begins to find a place for herself in her new community, and Neal’s increasing dominance in the bedroom leaves her longing for more. 

But she’s been keeping an important secret from him about her job back in the city. When he discovers the truth, will it tear them apart or will Neal be able to forgive his little girl? 

Publisher’s Note: Daddy Knows Best contains spankings, sexual scenes, age play, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book. This book is also available as part of a five-book collection entitled Little Haven.

My Review: Tabitha is beyond bratty but it's nothing a firm hand can't fix. She has agreed to take a break from her job in Chicago and move to Little Haven with him for a break. Little Haven gives Tabitha the opportunity to shine and grow closer to Neal but when he finds out about her secret she is keeping there is the chance that will lose her Daddy.

I enjoy Alleman and most stories she writes. Tabitha can be a brat and whiny but once she embraces what Little Haven has to offer she soon finds not only her place but also herself in the process. She realizes that she has let her job take precious time away from Neal and I enjoyed watching her growth throughout the story.

Description: Penny can’t believe what happened to her: One day she’s studying sociology and paying her tuition with her job at a local café, the next she wakes up in a luxurious house which is the property of a rich and enigmatic woman. Carter Forbes is ready to lay the world at her feet, but what will she expect in return? As she uncovers Carter’s reasons to create this unusual situation, Penny can’t deny the attraction between them. Can she reconcile her desire with her beliefs about herself, or is this passionate affair doomed from the start?

My Review: I've read Spencer before and loved her writing style. Surrender Your Heart was full of mystery and uncertainty that kept you reading. Penny has been struggling to make her way through school and working at the same time. She has always wanted an easier way of life and way out of this pit she's been in. When Carter Forbes has coffee at her job and leaves a rather large tip, she isn't sure what to make of Carter.

Carter Forbes is ready to open the world for Penny and let her see things she has yet to see. In a unique turn of events she is given the chance to get to know Penny and claim her body and heart. But will Penny lose herself in the process?

Surrender Your Heart seems a little shot gun at first but if you keep with it and uncover the mystery around it, it proves to be a wonderful read full of promise. I would have like to see some hints throughout the story as to why Penny is in the situation she is in but all around it was a solid read and I would definitely read more by Spencer.

Rachel's Journey

Title: Rachel's Journey

ASIN: B00YSOR71Y
Pages: 155
Rating: 4 *'s

Synopsis: Rachel was such a loser. Growing up with Tourette's Syndrome has taught her that. Who could possibly want someone who contorted their faces in bizarre twitches or snorted at random? Not even Mike, the man who had promised he loved her, had been able to put up with it. She broke up with him when she caught him cheating on her during their great overseas experience, promptly flying back home to hide and lick her wounds. 

James was the manager for the 850 acre farm she and her brother Simon had inherited. She liked James. He'd always treated her nicely, like an honorary little sister, and she'd had a crush on him forever. Not that she could ever tell him. She wasn't going to set herself up for rejection ever again. 

But when it seems that someone is out to harm her, can she count on James to come to her rescue? 

Set in rural New Zealand, this epic romance will thrill you and keep you captivated, enchant you with charming detail and inspire you, as learning to overcome adversity ultimately is Rachel's Journey.

My Review: Having been diagnosed with Tourette's Rachel doesn't view herself as much. Heading back to home to New Zealand single she feels like she is worthless. Throughout the story she throws herself a pity party while her brother Simon and the manager of the ranch, James work to rebuild her self-esteem and find her worth again.

When her ex Mike comes back to New Zealand looking for nothing but money and trouble, Rachel's life becomes endangered. This sends James on the hunt to find her and save her. Sometimes a well earned spanking is all you need for a mind reset.

This was my first read by Dawson and I loved that there was a story to this and not just a focus on the sex and spankings. I have yet to read a novel about a woman diagnosed with Tourette's let alone set in New Zealand. Some parts of the story are slow but it all leads to a fantastic ending. Definitely worth a read!

Synopsis: Twenty-four-year-old Juliana once loved being a little, until the cruelty of the man she had called daddy broke her heart and she decided to never be little again. But when she fails to take care of herself and becomes ill, a worried friend brings her to Dr. Robert O’Connor, claiming that he will understand what she needs. Juliana is embarrassed and nervous, but to her surprise, Robert gives her a teddy bear and tells her a fairy tale to help her relax. Though the exam is intimate and thorough, Juliana feels safe the whole time and hopes afterwards that she’ll see more of the handsome doctor. 

From the moment Robert heard about Juliana’s past, he wanted nothing more than to take away her pain and make sure she never has to worry about anyone hurting her again. He is thrilled when he asks her out and she shyly agrees. Though Juliana claims she doesn’t want to be a little anymore, he longs to prove to her that age play with him is nothing to fear. Robert is a patient man, and before long Juliana is calling him “daddy”, playing with her dolls, and coloring. He delights in taking care of her every need, dressing her in footie pajamas, and brushing her hair. Even when Juliana is disobedient and Robert has to put his baby girl over his knee and spank her bare bottom, it is always followed by plenty of loving hugs and cuddles. 

Soon Juliana is eating more and sleeping better, and feels healthier than she has in a long time. But when the man who once mistreated her skips bail and threatens to hurt her if she continues to see her new daddy, she becomes terrified. Will she ever be free to relax in her daddy’s arms, knowing he will keep his little girl safe from everything and love her no matter what? 

Publisher’s Note: Learning to be Little Again is a stand-alone sequel to Little Samantha’s Choice. It is an erotic romance novel that contains spankings, age play, medical play, anal play, sexual scenes, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Review: I first read O'Reilly in her debut novel Little Samantha's Choice and fell in love then. I fell in love all over again when reading Learning To Be Little Again. Juliana is ninety-pounds, barely alive, and hiding in her apartment afraid to live. She had been involved in the lifestyle and had a Daddy. He hurt her terribly and left her for dead. When her friend sees how much worse she has become and still has yet to see a doctor, he brings her in to see a friend of his.

When Dr. Robert O'Connor first sees Juliana he just wants to scoop her up and take her home. He knows it won't be that easy but is determined to show her the difference between a loving Daddy and the man who abused her. Soon enough Juliana is getting back to her health but when she receives and phone call and finds out the man who abused her is out on bail, can she still remain safe?

Learning To Be Little Again shows us what happens when someone abuses the lifestyle. When you grow to trust and love someone only to have them harm you. It is also a story of hope and healing. We watch as Juliana learns the difference between Robert and her former "Daddy". I absolutely love this story and will be rereading it again.

Rating: 5 *'s

Synopsis: Mitch Burnett wishes he hadn’t promised his neighbor he’d look in on his niece (an Amish widow) while she’s house sitting for the summer. He’s sure she’ll be a prudish pain in the ass. But Hannah is not what he expects. Her full curves, pretty face and innocent demeanor take him off guard. To keep his lust in check, he keeps his distance. However, he’s unprepared for her unexpected attraction to him. The closeness of his thickly muscled body brings on sensations Hannah has rarely felt. She brazenly asks Mitch to have sex with her, thinking a one-night stand will put an end to the stimulating feelings. Unable to resist, Mitch tables his more dominant urges for a night with Hannah. But what starts out as a one-time fling turns into a steamy affair. Each time Hannah embraces something new, Mitch discovers he wants more until he finally introduces her to his dominant practices. However, an assault on Hannah and a terrible loss make her question her behavior and send her running back to her roots to find the answers.

My Review: Coming into the modern world as a widow from the Amish lifestyle, Hannah's head is spinning. She is convinced that she won't find love or longing again as she prepares to housesit to break away for awhile. When the hunky neighbor from across the street comes into her life she discovers a new feeling, lust. This feeling leads her to wanting to know more about Mitch and dive into his world.

Mitch doesn't think much about Hannah when he agrees to watch over her for his neighbor. When he meets her lust sets in but he tries to rise above knowing this prudish woman won't understand his needs. What happens though when the wanting of the heart is stronger than what the mind says not to do?

Hannah & The Dom Next Door proves to be a story fully entwined with love, heartache, desire, and the want to move forward. I really enjoyed this story because it takes a strong author to tie in BDSM with an Amish upbringing. Wane gives us the hesitancy from someone not involved in the lifestyle as they tiptoe across the water into the territory of something new. Hannah & The Dom Next Door will definitely be a reread for me as I am sure I will learn something new each time I read it. If you haven't read Wane yet, this one is a must read.
