You've discovered Rebecca's secrets. You've discovered Sara's secrets. Now Sara will discover "his" deepest, darkest secrets...but will those secrets bind them together--or tear them apart?

I am a huge fan of Lisa Renee Jones’ Inside Out series, and Revealing Us has really upped the ante. This story was sexy and hot, and yet full of mystery. Lisa Renee Jones continues to keep me glued to the pages with this continuing saga.



In this book I wouldn’t say there was a lot of action, like in the other books. There was some, but to me, it felt like there was more drama than anything. Chris and Sara… *sigh* I love them, but man, they can certainly exhaust you! But I love how much they love each other, how much they are devoted, and how much they are willing to go through Hell for each other. Chris is every bit the emotional roller coaster that Sara is, maybe even more so. So when Sara is a bit gun-shy when it comes to Chris, I totally understand.

This time around the couple has moved to Paris to stay at one of Chris’s homes. But there is certainly baggage that comes with a new country and an old home. And that baggage comes in the form of new characters! Woot! Honestly, I wanted to bitchslap some of them. One has me a bit intrigued. But really, all of them just need to leave Chris and Sara alone. Cause when they are alone the heat is cranked to a thousand and they are the sexiest people on the planet!

Sara really needs to beef up her exterior defenses, because every time she thinks with her heart rather than her head she gets knocked down. Just when I think to myself that Sara has really grown by leaps and bounds, something will happen and make me want to ask her what the hell she was thinking. But no matter how obscure Sara’s thoughts run, Chris always knows exactly where they are. Is she that easy to read, or are they soul mates? It’s hard to say, maybe a little of both?

This book really focuses on the two of them even more, and their relationship grows because of it. But there are still some mysteries to solves – and there are some definitely some bombshells dropped in this book! If you haven’t picked up this series yet, I really think you should. It has so many aspects to it, there’s something for everyone. The writing is intelligent and it just grabs you and doesn’t let go. The storyline is imaginative, and I think its erotic romantic suspense at its best.

Review: In Flames by Jessica Jayne

Title: In Flames
Series; No
Author: Jessica Jayne
Published: April 2013, Evernight Publishing
Format: ebook provided for review

Gracelyn Riley married a firefighter and she knew that came with some risks. But she never imagined herself widowed in her early thirties with two children to care for on her own. Even though she had asked her husband, Chad, for a trial separation the week before his death because she found out about an affair he was having, dealing with the last year without him has not been easy. Her brother-in-law, Matt, has been the rock that has kept her from collapsing.

As a fireman, Matt Riley had been at the scene when his brother was killed. Several other firefighters had to hold him back to keep him from going after his brother in the collapsing building. The last year has been difficult for Matt. He suffered greatly from survivor’s guilt and drank himself into oblivion on several occasions. His one saving grace has come in the form of his sister-in-law, Gracelyn. Her friendship has pulled him through time and time again.

With the year anniversary of Chad’s death upon them, Gracelyn and Matt turn to each for support and comfort. What they didn’t expect was to realize that their feelings for each other may go well beyond the solid friendship they share. Can they overcome the guilt and the scrutiny of their family and friends to find love together?

In Flames set me on fire. If you are looking for a romance that is bound to take the hard road, that will move you in so many ways, that will light you up with sexual tension and heat, then I definitely recommend this book.

Today I am lucky enough to have Stacey Kennedy to the blog!  I've had her over a couple times, and though its been a while, I can tell you she is a fantastic author and a great person.  As for Claimed, I just finished it.  In Claimed we are introduced to the owner of the exclusive BDSM dungeon, CLUB SIN, Dmitri and his new submissive, Presley. Today Stacey is going to chat about why she wrote a BDSM book that only has one sex scene.  I'm going to put the review up later tonight.  It was terrific, I loved every minute.  So on with the guest post - welcome, Stacey!

Review: Pleasure Cruise by Mandy M Roth and Michelle M Pillow

Title: Pleasure Cruise
Series: Pleasure Cruise #1
Authors: Michelle M Pillow, Mandy M Roth
Published: March 2012, Raven Books
Format: I won it!

Clare needs to loosen up and have some fun--not to mention some hot sex with someone other than herself. Her best friend, Kira, knows exactly what she needs--a vacation full of hunky single men who'll knock her panties off. When she booked the cruise for Clare's birthday, the travel agent left out one tiny detail. It's a supernatural cruise, and they aren't getting off until they're married.

The powers that be are tired of waiting for the supernatural to find their own mates and reproduce. In a desperate act to get the dwindling population back up, they've decided to take matters into their own hands. Dominik, a lycan, and Braden, a vampire, are just the two perfect candidates to start this experiment. They're sexy, in the prime of their reproductive immortal lives and ready to mate--just as soon as they can seduce their unsuspecting brides, or at the very least, keep them from swimming back to shore.

Rating: Contains graphic sexual content, adult language, and violence.This book is an erotic title. That means it's super, mega hot and full of steamy, melt your sock off sex. If that isn't for you, you should move along to a less steamy title.

Things that come to mind when I think of the book Pleasure Cruise:

• Friends
• Fun
• Hot men
• Sexy as hell nights (and days!)
• Snark!

Friends, if you’ve not read this book, please do yourself a favor and put it on your TBR now. Preferably near the top. You will not be disappointed. It was so much fun to read!

The story starts with a rather interoffice memo that lead me to use this book in this past week’s Quote-Tastic post. It is from The Powers That Be regarding the dwindling population numbers among the supernatural, and bringing humans aboard the ever popular Pleasure Cruise in hopes mating will take place. Grand idea! Where the hell do I sign up for this??

And the two human girls in this story who get to go on this cruise are Kira and Clare. It was Kira’s idea, of course. She’s a bit of a crazy girl, always looking for some fun. Clare, on the other hand, is a bit more reserved and still licking her wounds after a broken heart. But you can’t say no to Kira, can you? The only thing is that neither of these girls is fully aware of what this cruise is about. They may each think they know, but they have no idea!

Our two leading men are Dominik and Braden. Dominik is a Russian werewolf. ‘Nuff said, I know. But let me go on! Dominik is fantastically awesome! At first all I could think was he was a super creeper, but it wasn’t long before I thought he was just perfect. Tall, dark, handsome and yet caring and sensitive and packing a huge… punch. And Braden… British vampire. ‘Nuff said, again. Am I right, or am I right? Both of these men are super hot and sexy, with libidos to match. They have certain supernatural powers that really help them out from time to time, and they are the male form of besties. Do men even call themselves besties? I couldn’t have picked better men to star in this fun-fest!

I don’t want to give it all away, but let’s just say there are some funny things that happen this story. We’re talking mistaken rooms, mind play, swinging vibrators like bats… Yep, I did just say that. I freakin’ laughed OUT LOUD! Mandy and Michelle have proven themselves to be a perfectly paired team on this book. And more than funny there is sexy, and the sexy will burn you up! You will be panting and sweating and begging for more!

I can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this book. It was lighthearted and fun. It left me smirking and overjoyed, and eager to read the next one in line, Date With Destiny, which involves some were-panther twin brothers. Oh, I have GOT to read that one!!

So how about it? Have you read this book? Are you going to?

Review: Party Crasher by April Angel

Title: Party Crasher
Series: No
Author: April Angel
Published: February 2103, Etopia

Tour: Yes, Bewitching Book Tours

She crashed his party and became his prize…

According to one annoying Drex Callum, Chris is a “nosy reporter.” And maybe she is. She’s heard of the super secretive event known as the Seduction Party, and she won’t be content until she finds a way in. The last thing she expects to find is that Drex is the host. She’ll never get an invitation from her nemesis—unless she finds a way to get one herself. And breaking into his house is nothing if it means getting the scoop. But what she gets instead is an eye-full of the man himself, half-naked and more than she’d ever dreamed he could be in all her teenage fantasies.

Drex has been fantasizing about Chris forever, and now that she’s a grown woman, he still has a hard time treating her like one. So when she shows up at the Seduction Party—on the auction chair!—he’s got no other choice but to teach that nosey woman a lesson. He never dreamed sex could be like this, with Chris in his room, tied to a bed, asking him for stuff that blows his mind…

"I'm going to fuck you for all the times I've wanted to but didn't.  Fuck you until I am the only man your body recognizes"

Um, oh hell yeah. 

This is my third book from April Angel (aka Milly Taiden) and I think pretty soon I will be approaching fan girl status.  In Party Crasher the characters are vibrant and fun, the sex is hot and exciting, and the danger is exhilarating.  

Christine is an investigative reporter, and she is determined to find out what happens at Seduction Parties.  But the girl can't get an invite.  But no worries, she is finding her way in.  And somehow she not only finds her way in, but right up on center stage displayed for auction. Lucky for her, family friend Drex recognizes her and makes sure she doesn't end up in the wrong hands. 

Ok Chris was snappy and brazen, I liked her.  She didn't need help from any man, and I really love seeing a strong female lead.  Not only that, but getting into the party and ending up on stage was all a bit Laverne and Shirley, and it really made the story a bit fun.  Well, I thought that was fun until Drex got her in the bedroom. Then I realized what real fun was. 

Drex, oh Drex.  Man.  April Angel can write these men that will just boil you to pieces.  Drex is no exception.  Strong, confident, in charge, Drex is everything any woman would go weak in the knees for.  If you don't believe me, start at the beginning of this review and read that quote again.  Because that is him up there.  Yep, no need to say more. 

But this story doesn't end with the Seduction Party.  Someone doesn't want Chris to write that story for the newspaper, and they are determined to make her stop.  But no one pushes Chris around - love her!!!  And when Drex gets protective of her, and takes steps to protect her - and worries about her so deeply, I am just lost.  I loved this story.  It was a great and quick read, and the adrenalin rush was fantastic.

Stranded together, their passions will run wild.

Kara has a deep dislike for her boss, Max. She also wants him so badly it’s making her nuts. He’s a workaholic, a robot man. And he’s never shown the least bit of interest in her or anything else that wasn’t recorded in the corporate minutes. But when their plane crashes on the way to a meeting, leaving them stranded on a deserted island…just the two of them, all alone with all that ocean around them…Kara decides it’s time to start living. And by living, she means using Max for all the hot sex she’s been denied.

Max wants Kara—has wanted her for a long time. Unable to come out and cross the line between professional and personal, he makes her accompany him on business trips just to have her around. When they crash land and Kara shows him how much she wants him, he decides to quit being so professional and take the woman of his dreams. After all, what happens in the middle of nowhere, stays in the middle of nowhere. Until they’re rescued.

Back in the real world, things aren’t as easy. Kara is afraid to start a relationship with a man who completely ignored her until she took off her clothes, and Max is afraid she’ll never be able to trust him. But when someone makes it clear that Kara’s in danger, Max has more to protect than Kara’s feelings. And now that he has her, he’s not about to let her go.

Mmmmmm. Sizzle. Pop. Burn. Ooooh. Max and Kara light up the pages and incinerate them. These two make me want to get on a plane and make a crash landing. They make me want to rush headlong into danger and come out with the everlasting gobstopper of romances!

Ok, that was weird. But seriously, these two… wowza! I’ve read one other book by April Angel, Mr. Buff, and so I was pretty excited about Stranded Temptation. And now I am completely convinced that I am joining the fan-girl club of this author. She can write a scene to burn your pants off!

When two people who fantasize about each other regularly go on a business trip together to a very exotic location, what do you expect to happen? Well, that doesn’t happen in this book!! At least not in the way you think, and I loved that. Right away there is a huge adrenalin rush, then hotness and sexiness abound. But then there are feelings and all of that greatness that comes with it!

This book had a lot of action and danger, it was a great mix.

“Good luck trying to get out of his sexy claws. When Max Richards sinks them into someone, there’s no way of getting out.”

Max is that type of man I love. When he gets what he wants, he holds on tight. He doesn’t let her fears and insecurities about what has happened get in the way. And that was terrific.

I think if you want a quick read that will get you revved up in multiple ways, this would be an awesome choice for you. Heck, I might read it again real soon!

Review: One Plus One by Kay Dee Royal

Title: One Plus One
Series: No
Author: Kay Dee Royal
Published: December 2011 by MuseItHOT Publishing
Tour: Yes, Bewitching Book Tours
Format: Ebook provided for review

Coerced by her friend, Lacinda, a woman crushed by love, winds up on a three week singles cruise.

Blade, a man of means, discovers Miss Right under the guise of a singles cruise set up by his business partner.

Once Blade focuses his efforts he always gets what he’s after, until Lacinda throws his arrogant reputation back in his face.
Can Blade break through Lacinda’s angry barriers? Will she ever see him as anything more than a player?

This story was definitely hot. In fact, I might be on the phone this very minute trying to find this cruiseline so I can book my own One Plus One cruise! Don’t bother to tell me its fictional, it must be a reality somewhere, right?

Kay Dee Royal is a new to me author, but I think I am definitely going to add her to my list of authors I want to read more from. For under sixty pages, this short story really packed a punch. We have Lacinda, who has been tricked into a cruise – a sex cruise! And for some reason, her limo driver is the same as the steward who helps her onto the ship. And it doesn’t end there.

I really enjoyed this. It was a great surprise! There were a few sex scenes ranging from dirty-hot to sensual to romantic, and I enjoyed every one of them. The characters were all very likeable, although I would have loved to know them more in depth. Of course, the main characters, Blade and Lacinda were my favorite. But Travis and Mazie were full of surprises with every page turn. I’d be really interested to read their story, actually.

Overall, if you are looking for a quick read I recommend this. The scenery was beautiful with an island and a cruise ship. The sex was boiling hot. The bit of emotion we get to see was just the tip of the iceburg of what’s to come for this lucky couple.

 About the Author:

Kay Dee Royal writes paranormal and fantasy romance—maybe because it's also her favorite genre to read! She pens tales with wild, rugged heroes and strong, intelligent heroines. She'll give them both a few shadowy secrets, making her stories intriguing and fun. She resides in Southern Michigan with her family (her dogs, her cats, her caged husband... you get the idea). You can reach her at her blog and find the latest on her titles from her publisher, MuseItHot.

Coerced by her friend, Lacinda, a woman crushed by love, winds up on a three week singles cruise.

Blade, a man of means, discovers Miss Right under the guise of a singles cruise set up by his business partner.

Once Blade focuses his efforts he always gets what he’s after, until Lacinda throws his arrogant reputation back in his face.
Can Blade break through Lacinda’s angry barriers? Will she ever see him as anything more than a player?

This story was definitely hot. In fact, I might be on the phone this very minute trying to find this cruiseline so I can book my own One Plus One cruise! Don’t bother to tell me its fictional, it must be a reality somewhere, right?

Kay Dee Royal is a new to me author, but I think I am definitely going to add her to my list of authors I want to read more from. For under sixty pages, this short story really packed a punch. We have Lacinda, who has been tricked into a cruise – a sex cruise! And for some reason, her limo driver is the same as the steward who helps her onto the ship. And it doesn’t end there.

I really enjoyed this. It was a great surprise! There were a few sex scenes ranging from dirty-hot to sensual to romantic, and I enjoyed every one of them. The characters were all very likeable, although I would have loved to know them more in depth. Of course, the main characters, Blade and Lacinda were my favorite. But Travis and Mazie were full of surprises with every page turn. I’d be really interested to read their story, actually.

Overall, if you are looking for a quick read I recommend this. The scenery was beautiful with an island and a cruise ship. The sex was boiling hot. The bit of emotion we get to see was just the tip of the iceburg of what’s to come for this lucky couple.

Review: C791 by Eve Langlais

Title: C791
Series: Cyborgs: More Than Machines #1
Author: Eve Langlais
Tour: No
Published: February 2012
Format: Ebook provided by author for review

Machines aren't supposed to feel, but this cyborg can't help falling in love.Assigned as a specimen collector for a captured cyborg, Chloe is intrigued by the machine disguised as a man. Kidnapped during his daring escape, he shows her that despite the chip in his brain, his humanity is not completely lost.Formerly known as unit X109GI, Joe is on a quest to discover his origin. While he doesn't find the answers he's looking for, he does discover that affection and lust aren't just for humans. But when it comes to a battle between logic and love, which side will the cybernetic organism-once a man-choose?Evaluating his feelings will have to wait though because the military isn't done with Joe. But their threats against him pale in comparison before the shocking discovery of project C791, the revelation of which stuns the rebel cyborgs-and ignites a fury for vengeance.

Well well well, this book is definitely something else. I’ve been trying to think if I have ever read a cyborg romance – I can’t say I have. At first I was hesitant about this book. I mean, sure, its Eve Langlais and she is an authorical (new word I’m inventing) genius, but cyborgs? Hot steamy love? I wasn’t buying it. And what do I think now? Bought!!! I loved it!!

“As for the screamed directive to march their metal asses out into space? In the words of the mechanic who repaired his arm, “Like fuck.””

The order came in. Destroy all cyborgs. But one is a self-realized cyborg, and he wasn’t going to go down – or out – without a fight. And he wasn’t alone. Y999SK also was aware. And they were going to help others achieve this awareness…. Just as soon as they escaped imminent doom.

I dare say this book was a bit different from the other books I’ve read from Eve. I mean, it was hot as heck, that’s for sure. It had humor in it too, definitely something I look forward to. There was action, check! The lead woman, Chloe, isn’t as snarky as some of the other leading ladies. She doesn’t have the quick comebacks and sharp tongue. But I still liked her. I felt like she was coming into her own while she was on this new assignment to collect samples from the hot cyborg below ground. And woman empowerment is something I can always stand behind.

“He’d allow her tantrum this time. But, in the future, he’d have to explain to her she wasn’t to look sad because he didn’t like it. It made him uncomfortable, which he found completely unacceptable. Of course, he wasn’t quite sure how he’d stop her from acting in that manner, but surely he’d find a way. He set his neuralnet to looking for an answer as he continued to kiss her.”

Then we have the cyborg….er, Joe….er, X109GI. Ok, I’ll stick with Joe. Joe is something else entirely. It was really interesting to be in his head and hear his cyborg thoughts. I can only imagine that added difficulty to try and robotize your writing voice. In either case this man-droid was superb. Definitely alpha hero worthy, with an added bonus of never ending stamina and perfect knowledge of pleasuring a woman. Now I just need to find out where to get me one… seriously, does anyone know where?

At first I was pretty surprised at how brutally these cyborgs were portrayed. Leave it to the government to spill the facts in their own fashion. But once you get to know them, and understand their plight, you’ll be cursing the human race too. Or at least the government…that is if you aren’t already.

Overall my vote says this book was exciting. The big secret is that ….ha! no, I’m not telling. But I totally didn’t see it coming! Suffice it to say it is awesome and an even awesomer lead in for a series. I just loved how these two characters interacted with eachother, the easy camaraderie Joe has with his other android friends. Everything rolled together seamlessly. Even definitely found the perfect balance of erotic romance, sci fi, and mystery. I already have F814 up on deck to read very shortly, and I can’t wait to get to it!

Have you read C791? What did you think?
