Description: After she is attacked by a large, unknown animal, Alexandria Pace soon finds that her miraculously swift recovery and suddenly voracious appetite are far from the most disturbing aspects of her situation. It rapidly becomes apparent that not only has she been bitten by a rogue werewolf, she has also been identified by the alpha of a nearby pack as his chosen mate.

Connor had planned to take his time and woo Alexandria gently, but the attack by a rival wolf forces him to take drastic action and compel her to join his pack right away. He is more than ready to keep his mate safe whether she likes it or not, and as she’ll quickly discover, disobeying her new alpha will earn her a swift and thorough punishment.

As her first full moon approaches, Alexandria struggles to adapt to life as a member of a pack, especially when that involves submitting to the alpha. Yet despite Connor’s willingness to bare her bottom for a painful, embarrassing spanking whenever she defies him, a part of Alexandria cannot help longing for him to claim her fully. But when an enemy challenges Connor and threatens to take Alexandria from the pack by force, will he win the fight to protect his mate?

Publisher’s Note: The Alpha’s Reluctant Mate is an erotic romance novel that contains spankings, sexual scenes, anal play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Review: Alexandria (Xandie) was bitten by some large animal. Unsure what has happened to her she discovers she has a horrid appetite and nothing makes sense to her. Determined to find answers she soon discovers that truth doesn't make that much sense.

Connor had planned to take his time introducing Xandie to her new lifestyle but when his pack is threatened he has no choice but to swoop in quickly. With a firm hand Connor is determined to help Xandie see that she belongs with him.

This is my first novel by Williams and not my last. The Alpha's Reluctant Mate takes a more real approach on how it would feel if you woke up one day and discovered you were a werewolf and everything you knew about life was suddenly different. Packed with humor, sarcasm, and hot sex this book is sure to be a hit for any reader!

Hard Riders by Ashe Barker

If there’s one thing Liam loves more than a scorching hot lust-on-wheels superbike, it’s the gorgeous sexy guy who owns such a dream machine. When Jackson finds him all but drooling over his tyres and offers him a ride Liam takes no persuading at all. Soon they discover that their mutual fascination with boys’ toys is not limited to the two-wheeled variety, so it’s just as well that Jackson owns his own sex shop and Liam’s job leaves plenty of scope for dressing up.

But real life is much more than just a few kinky games, and has an unfortunate habit of getting in the way.

But Alex’s quest to expose the truth could land them both in serious danger...

Description: When pop sensation Kaia is informed by her record label that her next collaboration will be with the infamous Oliver McFadden she’s furious to say the least. She’s supposed to hate him. He stole everything from her. And no matter how hard she tries, she can’t get it back. It was an evil thing to do and she’s resolved never to forgive him.

There was something about him though.

It was those eyes, the way he looked at her. His lips, the way his voice made her weak in the knees. He made her feel like she was the only girl in the room. Being forced to maintain a façade of friendship in public for marketing purposes, is hard enough, but a surprise kiss under the mistletoe only leaves her confused and conflicted.

Oliver McFadden has known Kaia for years, and despite her bratty attitude toward everything and everyone, he wants more than a work relationship with the maddening woman. He wants to have her over his lap, giving her the discipline he knows she needs so desperately. But that’s dangerous. If he’s wrong, he might lose her forever.

As they spend more time together, Kaia realizes that perhaps she has spent her time hating someone she doesn’t even really know. Oliver might just be the one. She can’t control herself around him and he makes her feel so special, his ways so different from any other man she’s known. But are her new feelings enough to overcome her difficult past with the man – or do they just complicate it?

This Christmas, Kaia Monroe will be opening more than presents. She might just learn to open her heart to love too.

Snippet: “Turn around.”

The first touch on her skin wasn't a slap, but she jumped anyway. He trailed a line of kisses down over her skin, soft and gentle. He moved her hands, and then she felt his tongue slip along the cleft of her ass. Her muscles clenched and a shiver ran through her.

When he hit her she cried out, both from sharp pain, and from the release of the tension anticipation had built inside her. He'd started, and now it was only going to escalate.

The next slap hit the other side of her ass, the pain more intense this time. Oliver had a way of spanking her, of snapping his hand against her flesh that felt more like a bite than just his flesh against hers. But it was his skin touching hers, and that's what she loved, beyond the pain.

“Bend over.” Oliver's voice was rough, his breathing fast.

Oliver touched her briefly on her leg, running a finger along the crease at the top of her thigh, beneath her buttocks, then moving his fingers between her legs, rubbing against her wetness. She closed her eyes, concentrating on keeping her balance as he slipped one finger into her. For a moment he wiggled his finger, the fluttering feeling inside her making her gasp. Then he slid his finger out, moving it forward, slowly circling her clit.

Out of reflex her hips jerked forward, knees buckling slightly as something clenched deep inside her. But the effort to keep her balance forced her to hold still, even as Oliver rubbed her clit harder, fingers moving faster, and despite herself, her legs tensed again, but she managed to hold her stance.

“Good girl.” His voice was very close to her ear, and she realized with a start he was no longer sitting, but standing behind her. “Very good girl.”

Her heart swelled with love. There was just something about those words…

He struck her right cheek, much harder this time. She swayed to the left under the impact, her weight thrown to the side. With a strangled sound she dug her toes into the carpet, willing herself not to move her feet even one inch apart.

Oliver caressed her, rubbing his hand gently over her stinging skin, his other hand still buried between her legs, one finger gently thrusting into her slick wetness. The sharp pain sank into her, heating the fire that he's lit inside her. The tension in her legs lessened under Oliver's gentle touch, both from his hand on her ass, and from his finger slowly circling her clit. She breathed deeply, trying to gain control, not to let herself let go too soon, to prolong this amazing pleasure Oliver was giving her.

My Review:  This is such a sweet, hot, and short story. Kaia is a rocket determined not to give into her feelings for Oliver but when forgiveness tries to seep in, she wonders what it would be like to give into Oliver.

Oliver has knows Kaia for years. He has always felt something for her and collaborating with Kaia is the perfect way to act on those feelings.

Graystone gives us a hot story full of admiration, hope, and second chances. The sex scenes are intense and will leave you breathless. Mix all of that with the beautiful cover and you have a home run. I look forward to more from Graystone.

Mate With Me

Title: Mate With Me
Author: BJ Wane
Publisher: Pink Flamingo Publications
ASIN: B00P30ACAK
Pages: 384
Rating: 4 *'s

Description: Another sizzling erotic tale of female surrender from author BJ Wane – this time with a vampire twist!
Damien LaRue has spent the better part of two hundred years trying to atone for an act he’d been driven to commit shortly after master vampiress, Isabelle Sartre ended his life in 1815. Because he can never forgive himself, he plans to ‘meet the dawn’ soon, never intending to claim his mate. However, he hadn’t counted on Abrielle Chirac’s tenacity and her utter faith in him. When a strange mark suddenly appears on her breast, Abby discovers that she is destined to become her guardian’s mate. She’s determined to use her body to break through Damien’s wall of resistance. She wants the man as much as her body craves the vampire! Unfortunately, Damien’s will is stronger than her attempts at seduction, and it isn’t until she’s attacked by rogues and Damien brings her to his home for protection that she gets the chance to finally become his in every way.
Damien isn’t the only one to have a run-in with vampire rogues. Jacob Carter has spent decades longing to find his mate, but when he finally does, it’s to rescue her from one of his own. Grace Larsen is shocked to discover an immediate sexual response to the vampire who comes to her rescue. But ignoring her body’s desires, she refuses to believe that Jacob is any different than the vampire who tormented her. However, when Jacob is critically wounded from a rogue attack, Grace is left with two choices—watch the man she has grown to care for die, or use her body, the one thing she’s withheld from him, to save him.
In time, Damien, Jacob and their fellow vampires discover that their nemesis, Isabelle, is behind the rogue attacks. But before they have any hope of permanently ending Isabelle’s existence, they must resolve the issues that keep them from completing their mating bonds.

My Review: When I first started this I had a hard time getting into it but once I got wrapped around Damien and Abrielle's story and watching them fight the strong chemistry that was obvious between them, I couldn't put it down.

 Abrielle had me laughing at her at points because you could tell she was frustrated and all she wanted to do was tear down Damien's walls. Damien does everything in his power to protect her and keep her safe from his demons.

Paranormal romances aren't usually my strong suite but every now and then I find an author that gets me attached to them. I was woven into the mystery of New Orleans and the vampires that reside there. Watching the story unfold anxious for answer.

I would have loved a prologue explaining more of how the vampire coven came to be but overall I was very impressed with the execution of the story. I do hope to see more paranormal from Wane.

Wren's Redemption

Title: Wren's Redemption
Author: Katherine Deane
Publisher: Stormy Night Publications
ASIN: B018Y3NR6I
Pages: 133
Rating: 5 *'s

Description: Nineteen-year-old gymnast Wren Montgomery was America’s golden girl, but then it all came crashing down. As far as the media is concerned, it was a devastating ankle injury which began her downward spiral, but in her heart Wren knows better. The truth is that things started going wrong the day her beloved coach Jonathan Reilly not only rejected her romantic advances, but actually spanked her bare bottom as if she were a silly little girl when she tried to hide her heartbreak behind an angry outburst.

Now at twenty-two, after one poor decision after another Wren has become the “bad girl” of the gymnastics world. Desperate to break out of her slump and with nowhere else to turn, she decides to accept help from the best coach she ever had… the same man who spurned and then spanked her years ago.

Jonathan watched Wren’s fall from grace, and he fell with her. He still blames himself for leaving the team—and more importantly, leaving her—and now that he has the chance to help his little rebel get back on track, he isn’t going to let it slip through his fingers. This time he’ll be there for her no matter what, both when she needs a loving embrace and when she needs a firm hand applied to her bare bottom. Most important of all, if she still wants him to be more than just her coach, this time he won’t let anything keep him from claiming what is his.

Publisher’s Note: Wren’s Redemption is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

My Review: Wren's Redemption reminds me of the stories I read when I first started reviewing books. It is a pure of heart romance about a young woman's fall from grace and the man that can save her. With raw emotions and a good spanking or two Deane brings us back to the core of what Spanking Romance is.

Wren has fallen from grace. After losing the one man who brought her together she has fallen from grace. She hasn't felt fully into her gymnastics and she knows that she must do something to muster her career or she'll fall off like many others have before her.

Jonathan watched her fall and it destroyed him. Coming back into her life to train her he hopes to not only see her career return but also her heart. With a stern hand a soft heart Jonathan has nothing to lose.

Deane never disappoints with her writing but this one is sure to be my favorite of hers. In such a simple story we are moved in ways we haven't been in a long time.

The Don's Daughter

Title: The Don's Daughter (Book Three of The Bossman Series)
Author: Renee Rose
Publisher: Riverdale Avenue Books
ASIN: B018WZ4WB2
Pages: 153
Rating: 5 *'s

Description: Temptation is too sweet when the don’s daughter offers her full submission, but when her father finds out, he’ll probably wind up swimming with the fishes. 

Giving control of her body to Carlo Romano, underboss to her father, was dangerous. More dangerous than her hair-brained idea to take off her clothes at a strip club as a form of sex therapy. But the temptation outweighed the risk. Carlo made her feel sexy, alive and appealing, feelings she’d scarcely known after two years with her cheating and demoralizing ex-boyfriend. 

Carlo couldn’t believe Summer — the don’s daughter — was dancing half-naked on the stage of a strip club. Nor could he believe she suggested he’d be the one to take a belt to her ass and set her straight. But he’d had a thing for Summer since the day he moved in with her family, fresh off a plane from Sicily. He couldn’t walk away from the opportunity to get up-close and intimate, and show her his dominant side. 

Still, Summer may not be ready for a new relationship, and even if she is, there was the not-so-small matter of what her parents would say — her father would probably want to kill Carlo if he found out he’d seen her naked.

My Review: Summer fresh from a disastrous break up has been stripping as a form of therapy to gain back her self-confidence. She knows her father, The Don will kill her if he ever found out because it'd ruin the perfect princess image he has of her. When she is caught by Carlo she knows her father will be finding out soon enough.

But temptation has a way of finding us. Carlo offers to give punishment in exchange for his silence. For Summer, it is exactly what she needs and soon enough eight years of pent up frustration shows itself. With renewed confidence Summer submits to Carlo but will it be enough for a permanent relationship?

The Don's Daughter is by far my favorite in The Bossman Series. With the dark glamour that is the Mob and a hint of sexy that is Rose it is sure to be a hit. Molded in a believable fashion you can't help but keep yourself glued to this story. If you love steamy submission mixed with a sexy Italian then The Don's Daughter is sure to be a hit for you.

Her Steamy Viking

Rating: 5 *'s

Description: When a cursed Viking and a sassy witch come together...not only steam will rise 

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. 

Bram is a blood-stained Viking warrior, fighting alongside his family to conquer faraway lands. But when his family takes on the wrong witch, he is cursed to be an invisible water wraith for all eternity. Will the centuries of punishment drive him to madness? Or can he find someone to help him fight his curse? 

Audrey is a modern-day witch exploring the grounds of her grandmother’s secret Scottish cabin. When she feels drawn to the beautiful waters of a nearby loch, she gets much more than she bargained for. 

This sexy tale for mature readers features a spectral matchmaking grandmother, fun in the tub, and a witch whose touch might be wicked enough to change everything. 

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: Although short this is a steamy read. I loved the pace and it kept me drawn in from page one. Audrey is sent to clean out her grandmother's cabin after she passed away. It takes everything to drag Audrey away from her life but she goes.

Bram is cursed to be a water wraith. He's been waiting for someone to break his curse and he isn't sure if that will happen. After living for a 1000 years he all but given up hope until Audrey comes along and awakens him.

I love The Elemental Viking series because it is short, sweet, and to the point. Every book draws you in and you know you'll read it in one sitting. The stories are detailed and keep you involved from page one. I can't wait to see what the next book holds.

Her Web Master

Rating: 5 *'s

Description:  An online connection. 
Masked by anonymity. 
No cameras. No pictures. 
Curiosity ignited to intrigue. 

I thought I knew what I was getting into, but had no idea how far we would go... 

My intention was to test the waters, dip my toe in the wading pool. Instead I surrendered to the world of seduction and submission as he submerged me--body, mind, and soul--into an ocean of eroticism. 

Emails, texts, and hidden identities, were one thing. But now, coming face-to-face with the mystery man, the star of my fantasies, both terrifies and completely thrills me. If all goes according to plan, he will intensify the exquisite bond we share by transporting me to that glorious intersection between agony and ecstasy. If not, everything we've built will come crashing down around us, destroying my dreams in the process. 

Either way, there is no going back. Because I want more. Much more. 
He always says, "For every ounce of pleasure, a price must be paid." 

And I am going to pay... 


Warning: If you’re not a fan of dirty talk or dominant alpha males, “Her Web Master” may not be for you, but if you're looking for a filthy online boyfriend who will make your toes curl, meet Sophie’s mysterious Dom. 

My Review: Normandie Alleman has once again pushed the boundaries of the Erotica community. Just reading the description I knew Alleman was taking a big risk but it was one I wanted to read along and take with her.

Sophie sets up an online profile and spend most of her time lurking that is until she reads an ad posted by the mysterious MC. Little did she know that this one ad would change everything for her.

When you think about reading a book about an online Dom, you aren't expecting a lot of steam and sex appeal but Alleman once again surprises us with her writing style. She leaves us on edge with MC's guidance and Sophie delving into the world of Dominance and submission.

I really enjoyed this and read it in one sitting completely intrigued. I wanted to know everything about MC and Sophie. I craved more and kept up page after page. I cannot wait to read the next one in this series!

Daddy's Little Sweetheart

Rating: 3 *'s

Description: Twenty-six-year-old Claire’s life is exactly the way she wants it to be. During the week she’s an adult with all of the normal responsibilities that entails, while on the weekends her husband, Jensen, is her daddy and she’s his little girl, free to relax, play with toys, cuddle in his arms, and let him take care of everything. 

But when Claire starts missing meals routinely and coming home from work more stressed than he’s ever seen her, Jensen knows that something needs to change, and he decides that Claire needs more than just a weekend as a little. Will Claire trust her daddy’s judgment, or will she spend the next ten days with a very sore bottom? 

Publisher’s Note: Daddy’s Little Sweetheart contains spankings, sexual scenes, age play, 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: 
Claire has been overworking herself to the point of exhaustion. She pulls long hours during the week and become little on the weekends. She is worried about becoming little 24/7 and refuses to take time off work but when Jensen sees what is happening to his wife he forces her to take off time from work.

While Claire spends the majority of her time off worrying what people will think of her being little all week and how it will change her relationship with Jensen she also discovers that this is exactly what she needed. Once she breaks down and opens up to Jensen things change for the better.

O'Reilly has a sweet writing style. There is always a caring undertone to anything she writes and it's one of the reasons I adore her as a writer. I enjoyed Daddy's Little Sweetheart because we saw the shift in Claire's attitude throughout the story. I look forward to more by O'Reilly.
