Reviewer: Cia

Blurb/Summary:

Reformed bad girl Nikki Carson has spent the past year trying to forget her boss's Halloween party and the unbelievable sex she had with her boss's hot twin, Patrick Nolan. Patrick hasn't mentioned that night since, much to Nikki's endless disappointment.

Years of following in the wake of his womanizing brother cause Patrick to wonder if Nikki even knows which twin she slept with. He can't believe she could possibly prefer him over her slick, polished boss. That doesn't mean he's been able to stop fantasizing about taking her again. Against the wall. On the floor. Everywhere.

It's Halloween again, and trick or treat takes on a whole new meaning when Nikki and Patrick go for round two. Especially since Nikki's come prepared with a Domme kitty costume meant to drive Patrick wild. And this kitty's ready to show her claws if she doesn't get what she wants...

Review:

If you’re looking for one smoking hot Halloween read, Bad Kitty by Cari Quinn is right up your alley. Nikki is one sexy woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it, but only on Halloween night when she lets her inner vixen out and dares to embrace her innate sexual deviant. She’s sassy and sure of herself. What she’s unsure of is how her intended prey thinks about her.

Patrick is one hot piece of man candy. Not only is he talented and strong, he possesses great skill in the bedroom. The sexual innuendo dripping off his tongue will leave you wet while reading. He personifies swagger on a whole new level. Together sparks fly, apart…sparks fly. Be sure to keep a glass of wine or water near you, you’ll need to hydrate after reading of their naughty encounters.

Reviewer: Kristin Boyd

Blurb/Summary:

Once a year, the island of Naxos celebrates the Festival of Dionysus. For an entire month, nymphs, satyrs and Maenads run wild while wise humans stay locked in their homes, praying for mercy.

On the eve of the festival, a young weaver catches the eye of Sabiniano, ruler of the island and son of Dionysus. Her name is Kalliara, and together they will learn what it means to defy a god.

Publisher’s Note: Originally available in the Aphrodite’s Touch anthology.

Review:

Dancing with Dionysus is an Erotic Fantasy that draws the reader in from the very first page with carnal sensuality and concupiscent interaction between Satyrs, Nymphs, and Maenads. The intense debauchery expected only under the spell of Dionysus’ power continues through the tale. Torn between her devotion to her Goddess, Athena, Kalliara’s love for Sabiniano forces her to choose which God she will be faithful to. Will she continue to remain a virgin and forfeit her love for Sabiniano? Will she choose to save her own life and become a follower of Dionysus? Will she allow her heart to embrace her love for Sabiniano and become a child of Aphrodite?

Apart from the war tearing at Kalliara’s soul, there is a much more ominous war raging on Mount Olympus as the three Gods determine the fate of this mortal woman who has won the heart of the son of a God. The climax of the story builds and corresponds appropriately with the sexual climax and resulting victory. This book was a great read. Entertaining with several unexpected plot twists.

Reviewer: Nikki

Blurb/Summary:

Book three in the Hot Ice series.

They say a leopard can’t change its spots. They’re wrong, because I did! Now I’m successful and independent and busy heading up my own company. I don’t have time for the complication of a man in my bed—not yet. That plan is years down the line.

Or so I thought. Because when a certain devastatingly sexy hockey captain sets his sights on me, my old impulsive self is determined to make up for two years of abstinence. I had to get sweaty, naked and dirty real quick. Heck to the consequences, regardless of the outcome. It’s all about immediate pleasure and intense satisfaction.

Trouble is, best laid plans never run smoothly and before I know it, I’m working a pole again and running for my life. Just as well Rick “Ramrod” Lewis lives up to his reputation and his name—big, bad and fortunately playing to win!

Review:

It starts with a cheesy pick up line. No, really, I mean it's very cheesy! But Rick Lewis sets his sights on Dana, and despite her every effort to push him away, he keeps coming back, and showing Dana what she's missing by not dating.

Dana has gotten past her wild days. She's now responsible and free of her past. Maybe something in Rick reminds her of those times she'd rather forget. But Rick makes her feel things she hasn't in a very long time.

Slap Shot is another winner by Lily Harlem. The charismatic characters she creates will sweep readers into a charming, hot romance that won't let go. The third book in the Hot Ice series thrills and excites. The conflict, inner and outer, keeps the tension high as the pages turn.

I have enjoyed this book and I'll tell you, if you love contemporary romance with a lot of hot sex and an all around wonderful story, then get yourself a copy of Slap Shot. Go on, enjoy this!

Reviewer: Nikki

Blurb/Summary:

From the time Carrie Taylor discovered the magical worlds of romance novels, she has devoured them one right after the other. She not only thrilled to each new hero, one more dashing than the one before. Carrie clearly saw herself as each beautiful heroine waiting to be rescued

by each daring hero. And then one day, she brought home a photograph. A very special photograph and suddenly her imaginary hero turned into a living and breathing man. Or did he?

At one time Black Eagle scoffed at the girls of his village wishing on a falling star. And yet his one great wish, that of a woman of his own, was never realized. And then one night, he wished upon a star. Can the love of a man from the past help a modern woman with her modern problems in a modern world?

Review:

Carrie has plenty of problems, but she escapes them every time she reads a romance novel. But she dreams, and daydreams of a romance novel worthy hero of her own.

And then there he is. Just like out of a book. But, wait, this can't be. Because fiction is...well, fiction. No matter how much you want it to be real.

Black Eagle comes from a different time. His feelings for Carrie he can't hide. But the differences between them are so great.

The Photograph is a fun-filled time travel romance. The characters are likable and realistic. The magic that is time travel within this book was done beautifully. I enjoyed this book, and wouldn't hesitate to pick up another title with the name Reagan Taylor. Readers, looking for something fun and exciting? Look no further than The Photograph.
