Blurb/Summary:

One man claims her by blood, the other by possession. One wants revenge.

At the rise of the Black Moon, Sierra is to be named the new Alpha of her pack. But first, she must take a wolf mate before she can claim the position. Problem is, she’s in love with two men, one of whom is strictly forbidden. Willing to live a lie, she publicly acknowledges one and keeps the other her dirty little secret.

Nolan and Marek understand Sierra’s needs. Nothing gives them more pleasure than to make her burn, body and soul. Until the pack is attacked and a temperamental stranger from the past threatens to send them spiraling apart. Now she must choose between love and duty, a decision with fatal consequences. Whoever said you could be Alpha without making the hard choices...lied.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, ménage (m/f/m).

Review:

Black Moon Rising has a lot going on for a novella. The reader is introduced to Sierra’s mate, Marek, and her guard, Nolan, right before a mating ceremony. The mating ceremony doesn’t go smoothly and is interrupted. Past mistakes rear their heads to complicate the new alpha’s life. What made this story even more intriguing is that the alpha is a female.

This is a fast moving story with some action. Sierra, Marek and Nolan have an explosive ménage that just gets better as the story unravels. The major characters are all very likable. Eliza Gayle does a nice job of giving us some villains, but also making the certainty of their evil ambiguous until the end. There are a couple plot twists that will keep you turning the pages to find out how it ends.

Blurb/Summary:

Eva's desperate denial only means one thing...she has a lot to learn.

Eve Blake has been working at Altered Ego, a studio specializing in fetish photography, for three months when a custom order comes in for a plus-sized redhead. Ready for an adventure, she volunteers for the job. Chase, her boss, reluctantly accepts. Maybe pretending to be a sexual slave for Chase’s camera will get her one step closer to the two men she thinks can satisfy even her darkest needs.

Chase can’t believe he’s agreed to this deal. The cardinal rule in any business is not to get involved with your employees and that includes your sexy receptionist. He and his partner Murphy learned that lesson the hard way. Now Chase has a hunch the first time they touch their rope to Eve’s creamy flesh, there will be no turning back. They’ll have to have her.

One shoot leads to another and Eve finds herself at a playground at midnight. When the scene takes a dark turn, Eve sinks deeper into sensation at the hands of two masters who push for her ultimate surrender. Will she reach the limit of how far she can go, or will the ties that bind form bonds of love?

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: anal play/intercourse, strong BDSM elements, ménage (m/f/m), brief knife play, mild choking.

Review:

Eliza Gayle wove an incredible tale of surrender and trust. The three main characters, Eve, Chase, and Murphy, are hot, sexy, and endearing. Chase and Murphy bring out the submissive in Eve and we get taken along on the journey.

The two men are both dominating, alpha males, but their personalities are complimentary. They make a great team and are exactly what Eve needs.

Eve has been through a rough time and finds trusting and giving up control very hard. I really liked that Eliza Gayle gave Eve a normal body type with all the self doubt. Working for Chase and Murphy has given Eve a glimpse of what she thinks she wants. Chase and Murphy take her past what she wants and all the way to what she needs.

The sex scenes and BDSM play between the three characters is scorching hot and well written. With each new scene, a little more about the characters is revealed.

Midnight Playground is intense and hard to put down. It draws you in at the beginning and keeps you entranced until the end. I will be looking for other creations by Eliza Gayle.

tenuous truce is formed.

In the face of passion enemies become lovers, tempting fate, testing
trust, and satisfying an undeniable need. Lies and secrets. Corruption and
Revenge. Choices that change lives. Don't miss the revelation...of Kane.

Review:

Kane is an incredibly erotic and sizzling hot story. It has a great plot line that takes you on a wild ride through twists and turns with lots of surprises and hints at future surprises that just make this a fun read.

The suspense and plot twists build the tangible sexual tension between Kane and Lara. Their romantic progression is quite entertaining and not to be missed. Lara is one tough chick not to be messed with and Kane is one sexy alpha male that likes to get his way. Together they learn that love is better than revenge and being in charge. Fortunately for us, their learning curve is high and the crazy antics that ensue make this a page turner.

It is impossible not to connect with these characters and feel with them. The author did a wonderful job.

It said “The End”, but I refuse to believe that. I can’t wait for the next story!

This book was a sequel and I didn’t get a chance to read the previous book, but after reading this I will most definitely have to check it out.
