Theirs To Take

Title: Theirs To Take
Author: Natasha Knight
Publisher: Self-Published
ASIN: B00WHHG56W
Pages: 209

 Eva Webb didn't know what she'd find the night she secretly followed her fiancĂ©. She had feared he was meeting another woman.

But it was so much worse than that.

The man she loved betrayed and kidnapped her, packing her onto a truck destined for the black market to be sold to the highest bidder.

But when the vehicle is ambushed, she is delivered into the hands of her fiancé's enemies: mercenary brothers who would stop at nothing to take him down.

For Gabriel and Syn Rivera, hijacking the truck and stealing its cargo was another job, another way of taking back what was stolen from them.

Discovering Eva on board was an unexpected bonus.

They now held in their grasp the one thing that could bring down an entire organization, making her a pawn in a deadly game -- a game in which she'd need their protection to survive. But that protection would come at a price.
Now captive to the brothers, Eva would learn that they have always shared their women, and she would be no exception. They would keep her safe. They would protect her. And they would make her theirs as well.

But in a world where criminals often wear two faces, where putting your trust in the wrong people can get you killed, will Eva find she has mistaken lust for love, or will this unlikely union survive?

Publisher's Note: Intended for mature readers. Over 18 only. This romantic suspense includes MFM Menage (no sexual contact between the men), graphic sexuality, spanking and other BDSM activities. If such content might offend you, please don't buy this book.
Natasha Knight is the author of several BDSM and spanking erotic romances all of which explore the mind of the Dominant male and the submissive female, discovering just beneath the surface of each story that key element of love.

 This is one of Natasha's darker romances. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have really like reading Natasha's darker side and characters. 
Eva Webb follows her husband expecting to catching him bedding another woman. Instead she is captured, put in a truck, and hauled off to the highest bidder. Little does she know the truck is hijacked by mercenary brothers Syn and Gabriel.
Eva quickly learns that she must surrender control in order to survive the brother's dark game of cat and mouse. Can she survive and return home or will she surrender to the men?
I am a huge fan of Knight and always look forward to a new release. I have noticed that her work is leaning more towards suspense in recent releases and I am enjoying that edge that she provides. Gabriel and Syn made for a wonderful story and Knight did a wonderful job at showing who was the alpha of the two. I cannot wait to read more from Night.

Twisted Redemption


Title: Twisted Redemption (Ever After II)
Author: Alexandra Webb
Publisher: Ellora's Cave Publishing Inc.
ASIN: B00M0L22Z8
Pages: 129




Ever After Series book two.

Behind the Gateway Arch lies a secret world. Belle is about to discover there’s more expected of her than she’d thought when she’d agreed to work for Sean. Dragged into a land she’d only read about, she quickly discovers Sean’s darker nature and learns of the beast lurking inside him. Though Belle swore she’d keep her distance from Sean their instant mutual attraction is undeniable. Not only does Belle find herself participating in hot sex with the man she holds responsible for her father’s death but suddenly everyone is telling her she’s the one who can break an ancient curse and bring peace to the land.
When Pied Piper sets his sights on the couple and threatens Belle’s life, Sean must overcome the beast within and win Belle’s heart…not just her body.


But twists of betrayal and death cause events to spiral out of control. Belle struggles to navigate through a paranormal land populated by shapeshifter wolves and other strange creatures, inside her own dangerously passionate fairytale.


A Romantica® fantasy erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave

Alexandra Webb is an erotic romance writer who resides in her office where the chocolate never ends and the coffee always flows. Though she prefers paranormal romance as a subgenre she has a taste for things a little less vanilla.


What an awesome story, I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down once I started it.

Belle is about to find out everything her mother has led her to believe wasn't the full story. Going through the arch she discovers a world that she thought only belonged in the books she read. Meeting Sean and the desire that she feels is overwhelming and she's not sure if she'll be able to handle being around him much longer.

Sean has been cursed and has spent a long time trying to find the woman that can break the curse. When he mets Belle he can tell something is different about. There is something about her that calms him and soothes the beast within.

Twisted Redemption captured me because not only is it a retelling of Beauty and The Beast but it is also a modern twist that is unique. There was a swirl of the classic tale and I loved that Webb picked certain parts to give us the feel of the Beauty and The Beast we have all come to love.Then we learn of the curse and what caused it. Overall, I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more from Webb.



Mistaken Romeo


Title: Mistaken Romeo
Author: Amaris Oppenheim
Publisher: Self-Published
ASIN: B00QL3P62W
Pages: 34


**This is a work of adult romantica with explicit sexual situations not suitable for those under 18** 

You might think life couldn’t be any more disappointing than being a thirty three year old single librarian, living with more than one cat, eating Chinese food straight out of the carton whilst categorizing books. Evelyn is aware of that. She knows how lonesome and dull of an existence she is living. That is, perhaps, what propelled her to enter the unpredictable world of internet dating. Having not had any action for over a year, she is in it just for sex, and soon after meeting Michael, a not so bad online candidate, they both want to make it real. Time came, and it wasn’t the only one. After facing one another at a bar, and fewest words as possible later, neither hesitated to take it down to the hotel and let their bodies do the rest. They both have a night of pleasure like no other before, but shockingly enough, that guy Michael wasn’t the one she met online, but just a stranger somehow dragged by Evelyn’s hurry to get out of the bar. They connect, and Michael, a victim of carnal lust, doesn’t want to leave things at that. Evelyn is torn. She had just met not only a man capable of letting her reach heaven in the bedroom, but also a true gentleman who cherishes her. Michael is a stranger, but so were Romeo and Juliet.

I live in Italy with my extremely loving husband, two adorable little boys and the most behaved dog. This is where I manage my day job, which is working in the city's largest financial company. When not dealing with numbers and financial accounts, I write about my fantasies. I believe that human beings only have one life, so why not cram everything possible in it, including doing what I am passionate about - steamy romance.
I am fond of adventures and possess this passion for sweet romance and lustful secrets. I feel best when my readers are drawn to the worlds of love, sex, thrill and fantasies that I create. My stories are inspired by the stories of the different people I meet and the places I get to see. I am always delighted to live many lives aside from my own. That is how I craft a limitless number of fantasies and adventures.
All throughout, reading books is something I could not live not doing. Dreaming and feeding my fantasies are incredible things for me. As a little girl, I'd spend most of my free hours at the school library. I will bring home stacks of books, including the typical romance novels that do not involve sex. Probably, I got this habit from the mother, who also adores sweet romance novels. But I was surprised what a romance novel could be during a trip to the bookstore when I was 17 - that is when my journey began. 
I never knew I had the gift in me until I produce my first erotica novel when I was 23. My first work was followed by tons of other works for the sexy grown-ups who simply want to experience more passion and desire. I like my books to be luscious and delightfully sweet. I have been working on my novels for years and I can say there is really no secret - I just let my imagination go hot and wild. 
Someday, I wish to retire to a vineyard with my entire family and continue my passion of writing about my dirty, naughty secrets.


Mistaken Romeo is a short story that held a lot of promise but for me fell short. Evelyn leads a boring life. She is single, a librarian, and owns a cat. She is the definition of lonesome so she gets brave and starts online dating. Before she has a chance to chicken out she decides to meet someone for a date. Once she arrives at the bar she grabs the man and drags him off for a night of passion he won't soon forget.

The man admits to Evelyn that he wasn't the one she was seeking after but he pursues her for a relationship instead of a one night stand. She hashes it out with the man she was supposed to have met before leaving with Romeo.

The story felt rushed and lacked detail.. The sex scenes were steamy and I liked the idea of story. It is a strong basis for a story and I would love to see it reedited and reexamined.


Training Lil' Elise


Title: Training Lil' Elise (Eden Institute Book 2)
Author: Elsa Black
Publisher: Blushing Books Publishing
ASIN: B00V56524C
Pages: 130


“Max Brookshire looked down at the petite woman, who stared up defiantly despite her bent position. When he spoke, his voice was calm but stern. ‘Even if you don’t understand why you did wrong, the fact remains that your behavior has been horrid, and you must pay. You, my little one, need a lesson in the kind of humiliation you have heaped on others. Perhaps only then can you truly gain the empathy you are obviously lacking.’ He held something in his hand, something she could see. He moved his hand behind her, and for the first time, she felt afraid.” 

Welcome back to the Eden Institute, a sprawling manor where young women undergo training in age regression and sexual submission – women like Amanda Wingate, who has now become Lil’ Mandy at the hands of her dominant partner, Ethan Sharpe and the stern Nanny Prim. But trouble is brewing in the form of Elise, one of Eden’s sexiest maids. 

Elise secretly longs for life of a Little, even if she can’t admit it to herself. Only Nanny Prim knows the truth. And when Elise’s bitter jealousy towards the Little Ones erupts once too often, she risks being banished. 

But Nanny – who has a past with the maid - has a different idea. Why not pair this rebellious but conflicted young woman with a new client who knows exactly what he wants. Handsome Max Brookshire is looking for a little fight. In fact, this caring, dominant Englishman rather likes the idea of using both affection and stern punishment to draw out Elise’s inner Little One. He’ll need Nanny Prim’s help for the task, but a rivalry between Mandy and Elise for Nanny’s affections only complicates matters. Can Elise be transformed from bratty maid to a sweet submissive? Will Nanny’s past with her be an obstacle or an asset? Can Mandy and Elise become friend, or will Elise’s past both inside and outside the Institute prove too much to overcome? 

In this very explicit follow-up to “Becoming Lil’ Mandy”, author Elsa Black once again offers more of what drew so many readers to her first book – explicit sex, spankings and medical play - in a surprisingly touching story of a lifestyle that's become a source of literary fascination for thousands of readers. 

While this book continues the story began in "Becoming Lil' Mandy," it can be read as a standalone.


Elsa Black is a writer of niche erotica, specializing in D/s and age play. Her works are intended as fantasy only, and she hopes you enjoy them.
She resides in the green hills of southern Virginia.










The Eden Institute is back and featuring a character I really wanted to know more about after meeting her in Becoming Lil' Mandy. Elise longs to be a little even if she hasn't realized it yet. She is always causing trouble between other Little's and their Daddies. Now on the verge of being banished after causing one too many problems she is at her wits ends and unsure of what the next move will be.

Nanny Prim though has an idea to give Elise the life she has long desired for. This is where we meet Max Brookshire. A man after a Little of his, but not just any Little will do. She must be a fire cracker willing to challenge Brookshire at every turn. Will Elise give in to the life she has always desired and allow herself to be taken care of?

Mandy returns in this story too and I love that Black incorporated her throughout the story instead of a brief mention. It was interesting to see the change in Elise as she wrapped herself around the idea of becoming a Little.

I love the Eden Institute because it is not just an age play story, it is much more than that. The Eden Institute provides women with a second chance despite their history. It gives them a chance to be loved and taken care of. Reading about Elise, Nanny Prim, and Max Brookshire warmed my heart. I would love to read more about the back story and just how the Eden Institute came to be.

Out Of The Darkness


Title: Out Of The Darkness
Author: Rachel de Vine
Publisher: Blushing Books Publishing
ASIN: B00R0HYZZM
Pages: 114

Marianne Delaney isn't really aware how beautiful she is, or how she could drive men wild, despite being one of the world's most sought after models. Drawn by the pull of a submissive relationship, Marianne receives a poor introduction to the lifestyle at the hands of a man who cares nothing for her. Looking for so much more than just a new start, Marianne heads to New York. It's there where she meets the first positive influence in her life, a wonderful father-figure named Chad. He takes her under his wing, guiding her through not only life, but a new introduction to a loving, submissive relationship. 

Life with Chad couldn't have been more perfect. But when tragedy strikes, Marianne is left heartbroken and lost, desperately searching for yet another do-over. Will she find her escape in the arms of uncomplicated and vanilla Robbo? Or will it be the handsome, powerful Dom, who sweeps into her life to take control? Will Marianne ever find true happiness after so much pain and darkness in her life? 

Rachel de Vine was the pen name I chose when I began to write romantic stories with an erotic, more adult twist. I have loved writing since I was a child, even winning a competition for writing, but life intervened and I only returned to writing more recently. I love travel, reading (anything and everything), history, music and family.

I love to write about strong, intelligent and passionate characters, who lead interesting lives. Some of my stories are contemporary, while others are historical. I like to explore the sexuality and sensuality that lurks beneath the surface of most of us, and I often fall in love and lust with my leading male character when I am writing about him. I am a fickle woman though, because as soon as I begin a new book a new male character takes his place. Some of my female lead characters face many challenges throughout their journey, but I always try to end my stories on a positive, happy note. I am an optimist and prefer happy endings.

If you have some comments about my books, or constructive criticism, I would be interested to hear from you.

When I read the blurb for Out Of The Darkness I knew I wanted to read more but once I started in I had some mixed feelings towards it.

Marriane Delaney is one of the world's top models and many men seek her attention on a daily base. She knows she's different from most women in that she is drawn to the idea of submission but through many trials she discovers the true meaning of submission and what a real Dom is like.

I commend de Vine for being the first author I have come across that writes about the emotional battle you face when you lose your companion, mentor, and Dom. I felt for Marriane and my heart broke right along side hers as she grieved over the unexpected tragedy that took him away.

It felt like there were many ideas being pulled into one story. The transitions at times weren't the smoothest and sometimes I had to reread to figure out if I was in current time or in a memory. I can see where de Vine was trying to show us the long road that Delaney had to travel to find her true love but for me there was a lot of fluff that wasn't necessary to the story. I feel like if we would have focused on love lost to renewed strength in love the story would have been so much more stronger.

Jillian is planning a wedding for the bride from hell—who suddenly decides to move the event to Ireland with less than a month to go. Lucky for Jillian, the groom’s brother is available to lend a hand.

Sexy, charming Fin clearly has more on his mind than just helping Jillian with the wedding. But she knows Bridezilla will not tolerate the hired help consorting with her future brother-in-law. Jillian can’t risk being blackballed, so it’s seriously hands off Fin, no matter how irresistible he is and how energetically he pursues her. If only Castle Tullamore weren’t so romantic—and if only she could stop tearing off his clothes every time she gets into that antique elevator with him.

Louisa Masters is a first time author for me but I couldn't resist the cover. When I read the blurb I knew this was a story I would want to read.

Jillian is planning a wedding for a difficult bride and when that bride wants to completely change location for the wedding she knows she's in a for a stressful finish. Headed to Ireland she runs into the grooms brother, Fin.

Her Hollywood Daddy


Title: Her Hollywood Daddy
Author: Renee Rose
Publisher: Baronet Press
ASIN: B00V5KS4LQ
Pages: 138

Hollywood starlet Marissa Sparks’ career teeters on the brink of implosion. Her mansion is nearly under foreclosure, her rockstar boyfriend left her for a supermodel, and her habits of partying all night, drinking to excess and taking prescription drugs get her fired from her current picture. Her only hope is to convince Joel Sutherland, her co-star and one of the movie’s producers to give her another chance. 

Joel knows Marissa has talent and a sweet, submissive nature, but believes her mother and sister are a terrible influence. All she needs is a strict daddy to take her in hand and give her some firm over-the-knee discipline and loving guidance. When she shows up at his door begging for his help, he agrees to advocate for her return to the movie on one condition: she must move in with him and live as his Little until filming is complete. 


Marissa submits to Joel’s dominance and seems to thrive under his structure and protection, but he isn’t sure if it’s all a ploy to stay in the movie. She is, afterall, a talented actress and could be faking everything. At the end of filming, she might just pick up and walk out his front door, taking his heart with her. 


Named Eroticon USA's Next Top Erotic Author in 2013, Renee Rose is a naughty author who writes romance books centered around her favorite kink: spanking. She also pens BDSM stories under the name Darling Adams.

I absolutely adored Her Hollywood Daddy by Renee. Marissa's career is falling apart. Her mother and sister are spending all of her money and partying constantly. Marissa is struggling to maintain her career and it's reflecting on set.

Joel knows Marissa has talent, it's why he chose her to work with him. He can tell her mother and sister are both causing her destruction and all he wants to do is see her thrive. When she shows up on his door sopping wet from the pouring rain begging for help to regain her strength and finish the film it fills Joel with a deep need to take care of his little girl.

If I didn't know Renee's work I would have never guessed this was her first age play. It is written with fluidity and you can tell from reading the story flowed from her finger tips. The spankings are firm, the guidance tough, and the lessons learned even firmer. I hope to see more age play from Renee Rose.

The Marshal's Little Girl


Title: The Marshal's Little Girl
Author: Ava Sinclair
Publisher: Stormy Night Publications
ASIN: B00VAPIBSM
Pages: 89

When a young woman calling herself Wilhelmina James shows up at his town’s horse auction unescorted with a lot of sass and a lot of cash, Gage Chandler instantly gets a bad feeling about her. He’s about to blow the small town of Red Horse Gulch to join the US Marshal’s office, and this mysterious visitor is a headache he doesn’t need. After he agrees to check out the pretty blonde stranger to appease a local rancher left angry at being outbid, what Gage finds out about Wilhelmina quickly confirms that she is up to no good. But when she gives him the slip and goes on the run it changes both of their lives forever. 

Once he catches up with the little firebrand, it isn’t long before she is over his knee for a hard spanking. As the sexual tension between marshal and outlaw reaches a fever pitch, Gage finds that Wilhelmina’s deep need for submission meshes with his own buried desire to completely dominate a woman, and soon enough he has taken her as much more than just his prisoner. 

But Gage soon learns that his captive has a secret. Wilhelmina doesn’t just want to be his woman, she wants to be his little girl. She needs his love, his care, and his firm hand applied to her bare bottom when she is naughty. Though Gage is ready to oblige, the west is a harsh and dangerous place for a woman, even with a hardened lawman like him by her side. Can he keep Wilhelmina safe, or will the shadow of her past prove impossible to escape? 

Publisher’s Note: The Marshal’s Little Girl is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, age play, medical play, anal play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.




Let me start this review by saying I don't typically gear towards westerns but Ava Sinclair is a new author and I just had to give her a chance. When I first started reading I was a little apprehensive about whether or not I'd be able to get into this but just a few pages in and I was hooked.

When a young woman named Wilhelmina James shows up in a small down armed with only a large amount of cash it instantly red flags her. Gage Chandler starts to investigate a hunch he has about this Wilhelmina James. 

Wilhelmina knows Gage is onto her and tries to run out of town and is quickly caught. Gage is enraptured by this little tease and soon finds himself in deeper than he imagined. When discovers her secret he soon finds himself feeling complete and getting exactly what he needed.

The Marshal's Little Girl is a beautifully written story about hidden desires, love, and being on the run. The age play is written in a way that shows how scary it can be to have desires but communicating them proves difficult. The Marshal's Little Girl also shows what happens when a Papa discovers his true desires and a little girl finds a man that will treat her like the little girl she has always wanted to be treated like. I am absolutely in love with Ava Sinclair and I cannot wait to read more from her.

Mob Mistress


Author: Renee Rose
Publisher:  Riverdale Avenue Books
Pages: 171
ASIN:  B00S7PC0IU

When Chicago hair stylist Lexi Tyler finds herself evicted from her apartment, her best friend sets her up with the mobster Bobby Manghini, knowing he likes to play sugar daddy. He offers her a luxury apartment overlooking the city and spending cash every time he sees her, but one thing is clear: he is the bossman. Lexi soon discovers Bobby backs up his rules with firm, over the knee discipline, but he also takes responsibility for all her problems, giving her more support than she ever dreamed of having from a man.

Mobster Bobby Manghini likes to be the man in control, particularly with women, which is why he prefers a mistress for sex, even though he's no longer married. When he strikes a deal with Lexi to be at his beck and call, he finds in her the full package -- a hot, intelligent woman who is turned on by his dominance and willing to submit to his punishment. But when she finds out he doesn't have a wife, she is hurt by the deception and severs all ties. Can he prove to her their relationship meant more than a business arrangement? Or will he lose the one woman willing to give him everything he ever desired?
Publisher's Note:  This book contains spanking, anal punishment and erotic sex scenes. If such material offends you, do not buy this book!

Lexi is in trouble, big time. She is being evicted from her apartment, up to ears in medical bills, and falling behind on payments to keep her spot at the Hair Salon. When her best friend first suggests the idea of being a sugar baby to a mobster she finds the idea outlandish until she realizes it may be her only option to get out debt. Is it worth risking her heart though?

Bobby Manghini is definitely a powerhouse. He is a mobster who keeps his private life separate for the sake of his girls. When Lexi finds her way into his heart can he keep control of the situation or will he bend for her?

Mob Mistress drew me in and I couldn't put it down once I started. Renee Rose has a way of relaxing you into her stories and I know I'll never be disappointed by her. I absolutely loved the humor, spankings, and watching Lexi grow and change as she let go of past hurts and moved forward.
