Reviewer: Cia

Blurb/Summary:

She’s everything he escaped, and all that he desires.

Three years ago, Kyle turned his back on a pro-football career and being the target of tabloids or gold-digging groupies. Craving privacy, he gets it at his roadhouse in Northern California—until Lexi invades his life. Indulged and surely phony, she’s exactly what Kyle fled.

An actress since childhood, Lexi’s fresh out of an anger-management program. Weary of the press’s harsh scrutiny, she sees Kyle’s secluded cabin as the ideal place to hide out, and him as a damn-near perfect alpha male. Deliciously virile. Protective. Principled. She offers him serious cash to let her stay for two weeks, assuring there will be no complications or touching.

Yeah, right! Passion flares and lust explodes, along with tenderness. Kyle recognizes how lonely Lexi really is, while she’s falling hard. Through intimate days and impassioned nights, they explore their most shameless needs, until a cruel betrayal exposes their growing love, forcing a choice neither anticipated.

Review:

Take Me Away by Tina Donahue led me into the downside and the emotional and physical toll being in the limelight weighed on a person. The riveting story was portrayed in such a way I felt each emotion on the very real tear jerking ride. I loved Lexi and her strength and at the same time wished she would’ve just said no. From her perspective I was able to understand the greed that came before her wellbeing. The two most important influences of her life let her down. Those who were supposed to keep her safe and make her feel loved…regardless.

In Kyle a gentle strong hero who left the life that was destroying him behind. In both polar opposite jobs, they shared equally how damaging intrusion was. I loved the way they came together in passion and how he coaxed out the woman in her, the one afraid of letting go, and how she knocked him off of his axis. Between the rigid restraints of his job and a lurker trying to destroy the memorable moments they shared, I hoped each would find a way to build a future together and bridge the lifestyle gap. This is one read I’ll keep on hand to dive into again.

Blurb/Summary:

Into his life she came—wanting…willing…wanton.

It’s no ordinary morning when Toni arrives at Zach’s garage. Flat broke, with a past she won’t share, Toni is instantly taken by such a potently virile man. Direct and unashamed, she tells him she’s a motorcycle performance artist who needs work and knows motors.

Zach knows women, and Toni is unlike any he’s met. Lushly sensuous, exceedingly assured, she’d easily be his match in business and bed. A provocative challenge that stirs him as nothing has since losing his wife. A chance he’s reluctant to take. He offers no more than a month’s employment then she’ll have to be on her way.

The hours tick by. Each word and glance intensifies their escalating desire, forcing them to surrender to passion and Toni’s need for Zach’s dominance. Driven by carnal hunger, conquered by yearning, they face the unforeseen truth of Toni’s past and a future neither of them expected.

Review:

The chemistry between Zach and Toni is mesmerising and will draw you in and lead you on to find out what happens. As Toni and Zach burn with desire so will you. Sensual Stranger is a page turner with erotic and hot love scenes. There is a little bondage, D/s play, and spanking mixed in the love scenes that is done very tastefully, and adds to the level of trust the characters have for one another.

As the story progresses, you will yearn to know the background story to these characters that seem to come alive on the pages. Tina Donahue really makes you care about her characters. As a reader, you’ll feel Toni’s sorrow and despair. Zach’s loss makes him vulnerable and realistic. He wants to find happiness again, but he’s just scared of the possibility of rejection. You’ll be rooting for them as a couple.

Toni’s mysterious past haunts her throughout the story and keeps her from moving forward until she’s confronted by it and Zach. Tina Donahue does a nice job of keeping up the suspense until the final revealing confrontation between Zach and Toni.

This story is entertaining, definitely sensual, and will leave you wanting more of Tina Donahue’s creations.

Reviewer: Stacey Krug

Owned by one man, loved by another.

Abducted and delivered into sexual slavery, Lori has surrendered her will in order to survive. For more than a decade, she’s been known as Summer, her owner’s possession until he gives her to his newest lieutenant, a mysterious man called RJ.

Commanding and virile, RJ controls without cruelty and possesses without threat, engendering a mixture of safety and passion. In his strong arms, Summer enjoys carnal pleasure she’s never known and tenderness she’s craved. In his heated gaze, she experiences a sense of recognition she doesn’t immediately understand until it proves dangerous in a way she could never have imagined.

Bound by desire, need and growing love, RJ traverses the shadowy world of human trafficking, risking all for Summer’s freedom. But when he learns she harbors a fateful secret that threatens to tear her from him, they stand to lose everything.

Review:

In His Arms is an amazing psychological and emotional roller coaster. It is most definitely thought provoking.

As a reader, you can’t help but feel for Summer. Your heart will ache and break with Summer’s. Her despair will be yours. She is a strong individual that has been living a nightmare, but she still clings to her independence and dreams.

The hero of the tale, RJ, is a true alpha male. His protectiveness of Summer is sweet and kind; something she hasn’t had in a long time. RJ tries to provide to Summer what no one else has, freedom and safety. RJ’s love for her is evident in all the little things he does for Summer.

Their romance story is not like others. The circumstances surrounding their meeting make it different.

The twists and turns in the plot make this story really hard to put down. Tina Donahue does an amazing job with a subject that is seldom talked about. I was happy to see that Tina Donahue wrote of a realistic recovery and aftermath after something so traumatic.

In His Arms will stay with you when you are finished and leave you with hope.

Tagline: When wanton desires & love demand all. . .

Blurb/Summary:

During the day, Adriana’s a lonely corporate heiress, helming a supermarket empire. At night, she hires escorts, scripting provocative fantasies of kidnapping, lust, submission and endless longing. It’s all she has to excite her until she meets Nathan Wynn.

Tall, blond and muscular—like a modern-day Viking—Nathan’s a labor relations attorney representing Adriana’s union employees. His imposing presence intensifies her basest desires. When he protects her from an escort he believes is an attacker, she knows he’s wonderfully dominant and unrestrained.

Fascinated by Adriana’s underlying sensuality, Nathan brings her to his secluded mountain estate, determined she submit fully to his hunger. At a gentleman’s club, he makes certain she denies him nothing. Engaging in a seductive sexual journey, Nathan’s caught off-guard by his stunning need for Adriana. An attraction he fears because of past events in his life.

A growing emotional connection she will not let him deny.

Review:

Tina Donahue produced an erotic, love filled story that won’t disappoint. The characters, Adriana and Nathan, have sexual chemistry that scorches.

Tina Donahue developed her characters to make the reader feel with them. Adriana’s disappointment and heartbreak and Nathan’s confusion and mistrust come alive on the pages.

Nathan helps Adriana to experience some of her sexual fantasies, and some she didn’t even know she wanted. In doing so, Adriana finds the man she’s been looking for to share in her life.

Nathan thinks he’s in love with Adriana, but his past life experiences hold him back from feeling. Nathan’s built so many walls around his heart all to stop from being hurt again.

The plot twists and turns will have you laughing, crying, and unable to stop turning the pages. Lush Velvet Nights is one erotic tale you won’t soon forget. The story will linger in your mind and so will the cover art.

A wickedly sensual feast. . .


Blurb/Summary:

Eden DeCarlo may have narrowly lost Miami’s best chef competition and the prize money she desperately needs, but she has caught the eye of dangerously virile Rafael Zayas, one of the judges and a wealthy restaurateur. Despite her vow not to let any man derail her life, Eden’s captivated by Rafe’s imposing masculinity, then challenged by the business deal he offers. He’ll invest in her new venture if, for one month, she can satisfy his culinary expectations and the sexual attraction they both feel.

Dominant and unashamed, Rafe knows what he wants when it comes to carnal pleasure and will spare no seduction to have Eden in all the ways he demands—naked, wanting, submissive.

Within thirty days, he will teach her the delights of yielding to passion, relinquishing all control to him and fulfilling her deepest, darkest and most delicious desires.

Review:

Eden is very upset that she lost her chance to save her dream, and now what is supposed she need money from the contest so badly.
But she is even more mad at her reaction to Rafe. When he makes her an offer she can't refuse, can she keep her heart intact because she knows for sure that she has never felt this way with any man.

Rafe knows he wants Eden, and he knows that the intense feelings he has for her, she shares with him. But something is holding her back, and he intends to find out what, and prove to her that what they have doesn't happen every day.

This story is so sensual and erotic, I absolutely loved the characters and how Tina Donahue lets you in their mind. You will feel their most passionate moments and your heart will break at the decisions they must make.

This story is the most endearing love story and with the sexy, but so very sweet Rafe and with the sweet, strong, but a little sad Eden, you will just fall in love with them.

Tagline: A shameless fantasy come true. . .

Blurb/Summary:

When tall, dark and delicious Adam Farrell crosses Danni’s radar at a trade show in Vegas, it’s not lust at first sight. He’s been the star of her wicked fantasies for a while, pleasuring her in acts of domination and submission that leave her breathless. Aching for his masterful touch, believing she’ll never have it, Danni indulges in a public sex act Adam alone witnesses. What follows is a night of wild and unrestrained passion in his powerful arms. It’s only the beginning.

An undisclosed business deal has turned Adam from competitor to Danni’s new boss. His hunger for her is absolute and he’ll make her fantasies seem tame as he takes her in ways she never imagined – whenever he wants, wherever he desires.

Seduced by Adam’s plan to mix exquisite control with adoration, Danni’s swept into a sensual adventure she can’t resist. Until corporate politics intrude and she learns what Adam’s been hiding to protect her. . .a secret he’s long feared will tear them apart.

Review:

This book pulls you right in at the beginning, and doesn’t let you go until you’re finished. The relationship progression and turmoil Adam and Danni experience is realistic, making it that much more alluring. Danni’s sexy fantasies were extremely erotic and imaginative. The characters and plot have the reader wanting to find out what happens next. Based on this book, I can’t wait to read Tina Donahue’s other creations.
