Blurb/Summary:

Lucas and Katherine enter into the perfect arrangement to fulfill their sexual needs, but what happens when their hearts get in the way? Shy, awkward receptionist Katherine Sierra wants to explore her sexually submissive side. Although new to the BDSM world, she’s eager to learn. When she attends a play party and submits an application to one of the most experienced Doms in the room, she has no idea what she’s gotten herself into. Successful businessman and hardcore Dominant Lucas Cain knows his way around a playroom and doesn’t normally take on brand new subs. He’s apprehensive about training someone so innocent, but the more time he spends with Katherine the more intrigued he becomes. She may be everything he’s been searching for. But when Lucas requests that Colin, his friend and mentor, join them in the playroom for an evening of fun, it just might change everything. Has Lucas broken his own rule and fallen in love with his sub?

Review:

Be My Everything by Ella Jade is a great erotic romance story. As the story starts out the reader gets a look into the stages and progression of a new submissive entering the BDSM world. Katherine is a submissive who is also strong willed and knows what she wants. She is willing to undergo much to achieve her goals.

Luke is a long-time Dominant that is established in the BDSM community. He could have any submissive that he wanted, but Katherine and her naivety called to him. Luke finds that he really likes going back to the basics and teaching.

Katherine and Luke have a kind of backwards relationship, instead of dating and then getting intimate the two of them got intimate right away and then got to know one another. As a reader, you will love the emotional journey that Katherine and Luke take together and how they progress in their relationship. This is a very sensual and erotic story, but love is most definitely prominent.

Ella Jade does a nice job of setting up conflicts for the characters to overcome while keeping the plot moving forward. With each new conflict we learn more about the characters and Katherine and Luke learn more about each other.

This is a well written story, unfortunately it does have some editing issues and a blank page in the middle of the story, but don’t let the distractions keep you from a great story. I will be looking for other creations by Ella Jade.

Blurb/Summary:

To hell with her critics; Taryn James is going to make it in the songwriting industry. If only Brian Macovney weren’t standing in her way. Gorgeous he may be, but he’s also nasty, trampling on her dreams by insulting her lyrics and all because he once failed to deliver in bed.

It’s been five years since Brian had his ego cut down its knees when he failed to perform sexually with Taryn. Now he’s forced to see her again, at the Sugarfoot Island songwriting conference, which he attends as a sponsor and she an aspiring songwriter. From nearly the moment of their reunion, Brian recognizes two truths: Taryn is a highly talented songwriter. And Brian’s eager to regale her with talents of his own...in his bed, on his balcony, bent over the edge of his Jacuzzi tub...

Taryn can’t decipher what’s hotter, her need for revenge, or the feel of sexy-hot Brian in her arms, their body’s joined together and slick with passion. Temptation this good is damned hard to pass up.

The rules are firm...no relations between the conference staff and songwriters...but then the conference hasn’t actually started, and weren’t rules made to be broken?

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: anal play/intercourse.

Review:

Fiery hot passion, and fiery hot attitude- this book is full of wit, drama, and sexy love scenes. The love/hate relationship between Taryn and Brian keep them coming back for more after each frustrating encounter. But sometimes it's just a little too over the top. Taryn wants to make it in the songwriting business, and the conflict comes from a past encounter between Brian and her years back. Sometimes, they both drove me crazy and I wanted to shake them, but overall the story was enjoyable, engaging, and hot. I love books that have themes dealing with aspiring musicians, even songwriters, so this book grabbed my attention just from that aspect alone.

Do you enjoy erotic romance? Ready for a hot read? Pick up Nothing On but the Radio, and get a little pleasure with music and romance.

Blurb/Summary:

A "Battle of the Sexes" Story!

When Heather Hart was fifteen, her parents brought her to Wyoming to visit her grandfather’s ranch where she met cowboy Tristan Rogers when he helped patch her twisted ankle. Young, sweet, and impressionable, she promptly lost her heart to the young rodeo rider. Twenty years later Heather has been summoned by her dying grandfather to determine if she is worthy, being the last of the Harts, to inherit the ranch.

The man she’ll be competing against for the prize is none other than Tristan Rogers, the ranch's current foreman, who loves the land like no other. Heather has one month to learn five things about the ranch and Tristan is given the task of “showing her the ropes,” so to speak.

Heather recognizes her adversary and uses all the weapons in her arsenal to fight for Hart Ranch, namely sex appeal and attitude aplenty. But Tristan can’t help remembering the sweet young girl who'd had a crush before she became this hellcat on high heels. As Heather tries to transform into a woman worthy of her grandfather’s approval, Tristan works to learn what embittered her and tries to win her heart and trust.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content and graphic language.

Review:

A Silver Lining is a touching and emotionally fulfilling read about the perils of youth and how it shapes a person as they grow into adulthood. Misconceptions are often unrealized until hindsight is in the late future.

Heather has a lot of emotional baggage she carries around. Now with her grandfather on the verge of dying she’s thrust back into the one place she felt had the only good memory of her short lived childhood. Tristan has worked his tail off for the ranch and believes it belongs to him, Heather a spoiled ‘acting’ wanton woman uses the many wiles she possesses to disarm him. He makes her work hard to please her grandfather. During their time passion explodes and the hidden vulnerable side of Heather peaks through the layers of attitude she displays. I really enjoyed how this story ended and how time back on the ranch healed old wounds enough to live in the present.

Blurb/Summary:

A Good sub Would... by Sierra Cartwright
Genre: BDSM Erotic Contemporary

Shelby, a wanna-be sub, hasn’t found a Dom strong enough to push past her need to be in control. Her experiences as a sub have been yawn-inducing. She’s fantasized plenty, though, about Trevor Lawton, one of Dark Haven’s legendary, mouthwateringly firm Doms.

As the stakes get higher at the charity poker match, Dom Trevor Lawton is fascinated by the woman kneeling across the table from him. Problem is, she’s not a good sub. Oh, she tries, and she’s lovely. But she’s not very good at following orders. The woman needs a firm, unyielding hand...his.

Welcome to the Dark Side by Cherise Sinclair
Genre: BDSM Erotic Contemporary
Related Titles: Master of the Mountain; Master of the Abyss; Simon Says: Mine, part of the Doms of Dark Haven anthology

Real Doms terrify her, so Summer plays with lightweights only. And only in the safety of her club, Dark Haven. But on Western Night, the tough cop who wins her in a sub-roping game is as powerful as they come.

Virgil's first taste of BDSM was disturbingly enticing. Hoping to burn out his interest, he visits an infamous San Francisco club, where he wins himself the prettiest little sub he’s ever seen. He’s in a quandary. A man shouldn’t render a woman helpless, let alone spank her ass. But the nervous little submissive clearly loves being in his ropes. Her need to be controlled is as powerful as his need to control. So he indulges himself, and her.

That one night could be the beginning, but instead it's the end. She won't play outside the club and he lives too far to come play. He'll just have to find a way to forget her...or get her in his ropes to stay.

Publisher's Note: All of the stories within this anthology contain explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: strong BDSM theme and elements (including/not limited to: bondage and spanking).

Review:

Dom’s of Dark Haven 2: Western Night led me back into the lives of the masterful Dominant’s and the submissives they love.

In A Good sub Would by Sierra Cartwright, Shelby and Trevor started off the first of three fabulous stories. Shelby wants so badly to give up control and Trevor wants to be the Dom that shows her the joys of complete and total submission. I loved the play in this story. How Shelby wouldn’t submit to her long time friend, but knew she was being disrespectful enough for a Dom to call her on it. Trevor a good guy in the end proved just why he’s a great hero, not only as a dominant but as a friend who’d go out of his way to help a mate. The passion melted me in this story.

Hunting Holly by Belinda McBride was a tasty treat. Once again I got to go back into the lives of the Trukee Pack. Tex and Hunter have come to do a job and are faced with a new, young member to protect. While there they happen upon Holly and the gig is up. Holly knows she must face the two that she loves and hope they see she needs them both. Both men have guilt complexes from their captive days that prevent them from seeing what’s in front of them; a healed female ready to move on with her life. I enjoyed the deep emotional impact of this story.

Welcome to the Dark Side by Cherise Sinclair brought Summer back into the picture. In a story done before, I remember her being beaten by an abusive Dominant. I wondered if she’d be having a story of her own and was glad to see Virgil chosen and paired with her. I enjoyed his internal struggle with his need to dominate and the guilt it carried in correlation with his job and the community he lived in. Summer’s previous terror and inability to trust worked well for them, and I found a budding relationship growing that I’d hoped would sever the past and flourish for both whom desperately needed each other.

Blurb/Summary:

What begins as a sexy cyber affair quickly turns into the real thing when Lt. Finn Coleman shows up on Emma Shield's doorstep to fulfill all her fantasies. When Emma doesn't match the persona she presented online, he decides to seduce and discover the sensual woman who claimed she enjoyed spankings and bondage. But Finn is a career military man with a dangerous mission ahead.

All Emma wanted was to live out her hottest fantasies with her luscious new pen pal. She felt safe pretending to be a wicked seductress with Finn a world away. Then he shows up, bigger than life and making even her wildest dreams seem tame. All too soon, Emma realizes that more is at stake than her heart and losing Finn is not part of the plan.

Review:

Operation: Spank Me was a deliciously erotic and steamy read. I loved the opening into the story with the internet texting. After reading their fantasy letters to one another I’d hoped their first meeting would be explosive. What I was shown was two fantastic personalities. I had a feeling Emma wasn’t being totally honest with her appearance and I loved that it didn’t matter to Finn.

The small town antics really tickled my fancy. Being from a small town myself it doesn’t take much for tongues to begin wagging and that sexy Finn was definitely a reason to set mouths and tongues on fire.

Their story moved quickly with spanking and white hot passion. Watching Emma voice dirty language was great for someone totally introverted except for online. I hoped they’d have more than just a great week together and something permanent. The twist was a shocker that left me on the edge waiting.
