Mandy is content with her job as a librarian, her longtime boyfriend, Martin, and the lovely home they share. So what if their sex life is vanilla? She’s not the wild type anyway.

But when she wakes up one morning-unsatisfied-from an erotic dream starring her favorite movie star, Mandy starts to crave sexual adventure in real life. Too bad Martin won’t oblige, because it’s not Tuesday or Friday. Then Mandy finds out what Martin’s been doing the other days of the week-or rather, who. And suddenly she needs to prove to herself that she’s not boring in bed.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of smoking-hot men willing to help her on her sensual quest: a nameless library patron who could be Brad Pitt’s twin, a coworker she suddenly sees in a different light, and the neighbor who usually rubs her the wrong way wants to show her he can rub her the oh-so-right way, too! Lucky for Mandy, her lovers are more than willing to share…

Overdue for Pleasure by Shelley Aikens is a book that I received for review from NetGalley.

As you can read from the blurb, Mandy, the main character of this book wakes up one morning and her whole life changes. She goes to work at the library, only to be tempted by a stranger. This encounter leaves her so unsettled that she decides to head off on a buying trip, only to have a fantasy encounter with another stranger on the bus. At this point, she is so unsettled that she decides to abandon her day and head home, only to find her long time boyfriend, Martin, at home, obviously having recently had sex with someone. In a fit of anger, she throws Martin and all his possessions out of the home they were sharing. What a horrible day!

This book is written from the point of view of Mandy and written almost as a dreamy fantasy. It seems that Mandy feels out of control of her life and she is drifting from one fantasy encounter to another. She goes from being a person who has her life all set for her at the beginning of the book, through a period of uncertainty and exploration, to finally a more settled state at the end of the book. This book is quite graphic; it is billed as Erotica. As such, there is alot of sex in the book, but there is also a good story line. The life of Mandy over the short period that the book covers is well conveyed. Her character goes through alot of change. Although some of the characters are a bit inconsistent, the character of Mandy is well fleshed out.

The pace of the book is good and this book can serve as some nice light, spicy reading for a few hours. Not for the faint of heart!

In Victorian England vice of every kind can be purchased, and Matthew, the Earl of Wallingford, makes certain he avails himself of every possible pleasure. Bored and jaded, he is as well known for his coldness as for his licentious affairs with beautiful women.

While these numerous daliances fulfill Matthew’s every physical need, they secretly leave him numb and emotionally void. Until one night when he finds himself beaten, eyes bandaged and in the care of a nurse with the voice of an angel–and a gentle touch that soothes the darkness in him and makes him yearn for more.

Yet Jane Rankin is a lowly nurse, considered shy and plain by most. There is no place for her amongst the lords and ladies of aristocracy–despite Matthew’s growing craving for the fire that burns behind her earnest facade. And then there is Matthew’s secret. A secret so humiliating and scandalous it could destroy everyone he loves. A sin, he fears, not even the love of a good woman can take away…

Here’s another book that I chose to read because of the partially naked, well-buffed man on the front cover. Amazing how shallow I can be! This lovely picture, however, led me to one of the most heart wrenching books I have read in some time.  Sinful by Charlotte Featherstone is an amazing book!

Matthew, the Earl of Wallingford, engages in every vice that he can. He is truly a dissolute character! He is being persecuted by his father, a Duke, to marry and start producing heirs. Matthew isn’t interested in getting married, but is interested in opening an art gallery. Since his father is restricting his money, he decides to hold an auction for one of his more erotic paintings to raise the funds. After the auction, he is beaten and robbed and left for dead in a rough part of London. He wakes in hospital tended to by his nurse, Jane.

Jane Rankin works as a companion to an older woman and is working off the cost of her employer’s medical bills by working at night as a nurse in London College Hospital. She is on duty the night that Matthew is brought in and manages to sooth him so that he can be treated. His eyes are bandaged so he can’t see her but he uses his other senses and seems mesmerized by her voice and her touch. Once he is sent back to his father to finish his recovery, he continues to obsess over Jane’s identity; desperate to find her.

I’ll leave the rest of the story for you to enjoy. I will say, I continue to be surprised how much I enjoyed this book! I tend to be drawn to glittery Ton romances, filled with balls and alpha males! This book absolutely doesn’t fit in this description! I have read other books with “tortured” heros but they weren’t as tortured as Matthew! We find out through the story that Matthew was sexually abused as a young lad. Jane is also a somewhat troubled heroine. Her mother was a mistress to a peer and they were thrown out into the streets when Jane was young and her mother turned to prostitution to survive. Lady Blackwood rescued Jane from the streets and offered her work as a companion. She has served as a mother figure throughout the years and has helped Jane come to terms with many of the issues of her childhood.

I was impressed by how outstanding Charlotte Featherstone’s writing is! She skillfully weaves Matthew’s memories from being abused into thoughts that come out while he is with Jane. She doesn’t really write about the abuse, but Matthew’s thoughts lead us through the stories. Throughout alot of this book, the story isn’t pleasant. Matthew isn’t a likable character! After he did something appalling, I would put down the book and walk away. I was always drawn back to see what would happen next.

Sinful is by no means a “formula” historical romance. It is written bluntly, and is not a typical “happy ending” kind of a story. I was continually drawn in by Jane and Matthew’s interactions and developing love for one another. I appreciated (after the fact) that the author didn’t turn this story into a more conventional happily ever after. It is a skillfully written erotic, historical romance and I will seek out more by this author!

Ten years ago, Rori Simon left town shy, unattractive and with zero self-esteem. Now she’s back, older, stronger and finally loving herself-and it shows. Hot men are soon knocking at her door, including Jude Callahan, the bad boy who starred in her teenage daydreams…and her adult fantasies.
Jude can’t believe the sexy, confident woman before him is actually Rori! She’s gotten under his skin like no other woman has…and she brings out secret desires he can’t resist. He wants to dominate Rori with every fiber of his being. Wants to own her and pleasure her. To cherish her as he makes her his.
Rori discovers she likes being controlled. She also knows Jude is not a one-woman man. Everything changes when she meets Zach Helm. Edgy, sensual Zach knows just what she needs, and before long, she’s in love. Jude watches them together and wonders if he’s lost his chance forever…

I requested and received a copy of Second Chances by Lauren Dane from NetGalley to read and review. I had seen various blogs lately posting comments about this book and thought it looked interesting. I was not disappointed!

As the marketing blurb for the book says, Rori Simon returns to the small town she grew up in. She left Oakley ten years ago a different person than she is now. In the years since she has left, she has shed some weight, gotten a university degree, done some traveling and is now a published writer. She is recently out of a relationship with a boyfriend who cheated and is done with the lying male segment of the population. She returns to her sister and her husband and two boys, all of whom she is very fond of, and a mother who is on her third husband who she is not so fond of.

Her arrival in town creates quite the stir and within hours she has a date with her high school crush, Jude, and a new apartment in his complex. Jude is well known for his serial dating, but Rori thinks she could have something special with him. Sadly, he’s part of the population that is male and a liar, so he’s kicked to the curb. He’s replaced with Zach, the younger brother of one of her high school girlfriends. As you can tell by the blurb, she falls in love with Zach, and Jude realizes that he has lost out.

I don’t want to spoil the storyline for anyone wanting to read this book, so I won’t give away anymore of the story! I was totally blown away by this story! I’m not sure what I expected. I do tend to gravitate towards the Regency Romance and only read contemporary romance on occasion because I don’t find them as romantic. This book proves that theory wrong! Yes, this book has plenty of sex in it, and most of it is pretty graphic. There is a fair amount of BDSM in this book also. That doesn’t detract from the absolutely heart-wrenching love story that develops. At one point in the book, I actually had tears running down my face when I was reading a particularly touching part.

Zach is a great hero for the story. He is strong, without being overbearing; mature for his age and confident in what he likes. He absolutely cherishes Rori – a beautiful thing to read about! Rori is a confident woman who is open to new experiences and despite her history with a cheating boyfriend, she doesn’t paint all men with the same brush. The character I liked the most was Jude. Although he got kicked to the curb at the beginning of the book by Rori for his lying, he learns from this and grows as a person. The Jude at the end of the book is a much better human being than the skirt chaser that exists at the beginning of the book!

This book is a keeper, and I am going looking for more written by this author!

Travel back to a world where lords and ladies ruled the ton by day and wild, wanton abandon ruled them at night…

Abby Deane has no problems piloting a small plane to her new job–until she lands and realizes she has traveled back in time to Regency England. She’s fascinated by everything around her, especially the seductive Myles Hardy. If she can’t get back to her own time, she might as well enjoy the potent sensuality simmering beneath that rock-hard body…

Myles Hardy can’t take his eyes off the mysterious and alluring woman who’s suddenly appeared in front of him. Miss Abby Deane talks of the future, but it is pleasuring her here and now that most intrigues him. And her bag of sensual delights holds the key to revealing her most secret desires and forbidden fantasies…

This erotic time travel (paranormal novel) is the first novel by Celia May Hart – an author for Aphrodisia Kensington. One More Time is mainly set in 1807 in Regency England. Abby Dean flies her small plane to the hotel that she has recently been hired to manage, but when she attempts to land, the runway disappears and she makes an emergency landing in a field. She meets Myles Hardy when she knocks on the door of what is supposed to be the hotel. At this point, she discovers that she has gone back in time, she realizes that she will have to depend on Myles to help her in this unfamiliar century! Myles finds that idea of her coming from the future far fetched, but is intrigued by the selection of sex toys in her luggage. For some reason, Abby has the blueprints of the mansion/hotel and offers to work with Myles to discover a statue he is seeking that has supposedly been hidden somewhere in the mansion.

The cover of this book is what attracted me to read it! Nothing like a mostly naked, well-buffed man to convince me that this book was worth reading. Like many of the Aphrodisia books, this one has a warning on the back about how sexually explicit it was. There certainly was alot of sex in this book! It isn’t for the faint of heart! Abby and Myles have sex almost immediately and continue having sex at the drop of a hat throughout the book. It was particularly steamy once the Greek Gods came alive and started getting busy with everyone! This book is what I would classify as a Romantica – a cross between a romance novel and an erotic novel. As a romance novel it was a bit thin in the story line. As an erotic novel, it was extremely steamy. It had paranormal aspects as the statue that Abby and Myles are looking for comes alive along with the associated Greek Gods and their bacchantes. Group sex abounds once the various gods and their hangers-on come alive and join the group of interesting people now living at the mansion. This book gets a super-hot rating from me for the erotic aspect but only average for the romance aspect. It did, however, get 5 stars from Romance Times and was a nominee in Romance Times 2007 Reviewer’s Choice Award in the Erotic Romance Category.

Romance Times says: “This scorching roller-coaster of a read is an erotic page-turner. It has romance, intrigue, licentious nobility, a Greek god come to life and an unexpected ending. Feisty Abby and sensual Myles are the perfect couple to surmount the obstacles in their way. This may have been the first book I’ve read by Hart, but it certainly won’t be the last!”

Loving Laney

by Lorna Jean Roberts

Publisher: Ellora’s Cave

Buy Link

Synopsis:

The absolute last thing Laney wants or needs is an Alpha werewolf. She fled a life of abuse and neglect at the hands of one, so there’s no way she’s interested in letting another into her life. Not even a sinfully gorgeous specimen. Uh-uh, not interested, not in this lifetime…

Then she meets Cooper Brady—and the man is delicious. Good sense is overwhelmed by the need to touch him, taste him, and perhaps a night of hot, melt-in-your-mouth sex is just what she needs. It’s just a one-night stand after all, no strings attached, no messy goodbyes. Perfect.

Well, it would have been if he wasn’t her mate. Mated life has its upsides, like sizzling, addictive, overwhelming sex—yummm. But lust can’t help her convince Cooper not to wrap her in cotton wool, it can’t help her tame or avoid bitchy packmates and it definitely can’t help her figure out who’s trying to scare her with nightmares from her past.

But hey, it sure does help.

Loving Laney by Lorna Jean Roberts

Review by Manda Kay

4.5 Whips/5 Whips

When I saw that this was a werewolf story, I of course had to read it.  After the whole phenomenon that is Twilight, I am hooked on all things werewolf. I love to see how authors will take such a popular genre and put an interesting spin on it. I do have to say this was interesting.

From page one, I was hooked on the main character, Laney. She was witty and tough and exactly how I like my leading ladies to be. I was drawn in immediately and I had a hard time tearing myself away.  Not long after falling for Laney, we meet Cooper. If I thought Laney was great, she was almost overshadowed by the man that was Cooper.  Immediately I knew he was melt worthy and I couldn’t wait to see their relationship take off.

So, on top of Laney and Cooper being a hot couple who were hot for each other, they are BOTH werewolves. Talk about icing on my swoon cake.  This book took me on a wild ride of hot to trot werewolves, mystery and as I like to call them, the fun bits.

All together, Lorna Jean Roberts hit this one out of the park. You’ll feel for Laney as she learns to love not only Cooper, but herself. You’ll swoon for Cooper’s tough side, but also feel for his soft side.  If you’re like me, you’ll also get side tracked by the other male werewolves and wish they were in the story more.  That reason alone is why this one is .5 away from a full 5 whips. I really loved the pack and wanted more of them.

This book is full of loving and Laney is definitely loved by Cooper, if you know what I mean.

I hope this cast of characters is brought back in another novel by Lorna Jean Roberts. Sequel? I say yes!

House of Sin

by Lacy Danes

Her most important duty—serve the master’s pleasure.

Emily’s dreams are simple: a life of dedicated service at a respectable estate, and a strong marriage filled with love and devotion for one man. Portage Place, the manor where her parents apprenticed, seems the perfect place to start. Though it is whispered that all is not as it seems behind its grand façade.

The rumors, it turns out, ring with truth. The halls are saturated with sensuality, desire and lust. Despite the scandalous duties she is asked to perform, she is determined not to stumble on what could be her first step toward her dreams. Dreams that, lately, have included the manor’s fiery haired groomsman.

A promise to watch over his younger half-brother brought Adam to Portage Place. For the first time in five years of enjoying the delights of the manor’s unbridled debauchery, Emily’s innocence touches the protector that still lives deep in his core. This house of sin may have ruined him, but he will see to it that it doesn’t ruin her.

It seems, however, that behind every door lurks a conspiracy to bind Emily in velvet chains of desire. Until the only way out is for Adam to take the biggest risk of all…

Warning: If servants sleeping with servants, who are sleeping with all the peers and guests at the house upset you…you won’t like this book. Contains explicit sex scenes, threesomes and a whole lot more!

House of Sin by Lacy Danes

Review by Armenia

3.5/5 Whips

House of Sin portrays the household of Lord Gregor and his sons’ uncensored sexual exploits of their servants. The descriptive imagination of Ms. Danes explicity paints how life may have been for many servants living under the debauched rule of a sexual tyrant. The sex was plentiful, unabashed and at times had me blushing.

Poor Adam is struck with Emily’s innocence and helps to keep her away from some distasteful sex games in the household. But her dream of one day giving her virtue to the man Emily will marry is an impossibility while in service to Lord Gregor. After a few days of protecting her, Adam realizes he has fallen in love with Emily. She has sparked in Adam the desire to seek happiness and be the man he yearns to be. Adam and Emily do have their touching love scene, their declaration of promised lust and love in their future was sigh-worthy.

Ms. Danes delivers one hot, spicy historical novella with believable characters and scorching sex scenes in House of Sin. I could not stop reading until the end.

Victor Connagher is no stranger to the Dallas BDSM scene. As CEO of a risqué cable channel that caters to adventurous adults, he ensures the lifestyle is portrayed in a positive light. He even supports a local bondage club. Yet behind the cool, confident mask, Victor lives in fear.

Once, and only once, he lost control of his inner Dom—and it cost him his fiancée. Now, no one knows how hard he works to keep his darker appetite for pain buried. No matter how much his saucy, confident associate producer makes his fingers itch to once again take up his riding crop.

Shiloh Holmes is a sub, but she’s no doormat. She’s always suspected Victor has the skills to feed her insatiable need for pain, and now she’s found the perfect way to crack his formidable control. Develop a new reality show, America’s Next Top sub…and dare him to compete.

Week after week, as Shiloh fearlessly challenges the real Victor to come out of hiding, he realizes his past mistake was only a blow to his pride. If he loses Shiloh, he could lose his heart.

Warning: Explicit sex, BDSM, reality television, a very reluctant Dom, an audacious sub willing to do anything to win for him, and one very wicked riding crop.

Hurt Me So Good by Joely Sue Burkhart

Review by Armenia

4.5 Whips/5 Whips

I admit I don’t watch much reality television but with the first paragraph of Hurt Me So Good I was hooked. Joely Sue Burkhart grabbed me by the collar and lead me down a path I could not stray, and I gladly followed. To my fascination this super-length novella overflowed with sexual tension that seem to increase with each page. I found myself at the edge of my seat as I “watched” Victor and Shiloh’s story unfold before my eyes. As contestants on a television show called America’s Next Top Subthe chemistry between them sizzled “on” and “off” the stage. The sex is hot, the foreplay edgy, and lots of dominant/submissive action got my total attention. Although Victor’s reluctance to unleash his intensely dark desires had me wondering if he could satisfy Shiloh’s need for painful release. I had to admire Shiloh for her planning and persistence to help Victor realize he was her true Master; that only her offer of surrender and challenge could bring him total completion.

As a warning, the story leans heavily towards intense BDSM play, quite edgy for a typical romance book. Readers wanting a quick glimpse into the power play of Domination and Submission will not be disappointed. Hurt Me So Good delves into the psche of two very complex individuals with very dark needs. They truly are two halves of each other, requiring the strength of one another to complete themselves.

Joely Sue Burkhart did a beautiful job of portraying this lifestyle in a positive light. I highly recommend Hurt Me So Good for the romance reader who wants an edgy romance.

The Earl’s Intriguing Impostor by Paige Cameron

Review by Pepper

4.2 Whips/5 Whips

The Earl’s Intriguing Imposter by Paige Cameron is a good, solid erotic historical romance. The plot isn’t a new one, but Cameron manages to make it interesting and enjoyable enough that she can be forgiven for using a tired storyline. After all, as one of my author friends said, unless you’re lucky enough to come up with something like Harry Potter, there are very few, if any, really new plots out there. So what’s a writer to do?

Cameron’s characters are decently well developed, and her portrayal of life in nineteenth century England feels quite authentic. Her sex scenes are hot and steamy, even if they are a tad intense for a Spanish virgin and an English lord in the 1800s. But I never once got the feeling that she put them in just to meet the requirements of the erotic genre. When Annabelle and Damien had sex, they did it at a natural time and place for the story, so it didn’t strike me as awkward. (Of course, there’s hardly ever an unnatural time and place for sex. After all, without hot, steamy sex, what’s the point of living? At least, that’s my opinion. And if I can’t find a convenient time and place to have some myself, reading about it is the next best thing. Sigh.) Anyway, the sex in The Earl’s Intriguing Imposter moved the plot forward smoothly and naturally. Just like it’s supposed to do.

The only gripe I had with The Earl’s Intriguing Impostor is that the sexual tension seemed a bit forced. Annabelle and Damien tried just a touch too hard, for too long, to fight it, making it appear unnatural. Or maybe I just got tired of having Cameron point it out. I’d rather she had “shown, not told” about it. But that’s a only minor flaw and didn’t really dim my enjoyment of the story all that much.

The Earl’s Intriguing Impostor is definitely worth reading. Cameron’s voice is fresh and appealing, the story well-written, and the characters charming. The world she creates is a great place to spend a little time. And have some vicarious hot, steamy sex. That works for me.

Hot Wired by Betty Womack

Review by Pepper

2/5 Whips in the Backseat

After the really good books I’ve gotten from Siren-Bookstand, I have to say that I was very disappointed in Hot Wired by Betty Womack. The storyline is extremely thin and reminded me of a porn movie—all sex and no plot. The storyline is also very inconsistent, filled with the kind of mistakes I would not have expected from an author with at least seven other books to her name.

For example: Hot Wired starts out with Carol calling electricians because the air-condition is off and the ceiling fans aren’t working. That’s okay, as far as it goes. But it’s only after the first guy shows up, that we find out the power is out. Now come on! This is supposed to be an intelligent, independent woman, and she doesn’t even realize her power’s out until an electrician arrives so they can have hot, fast, down-and-dirty sex—and oh, by the way, have you got any fuses? Then a little later on, she is having sex with both Baron and Sham, the bounty hunters posing as electricians, and they’ve already asked her to move in with them and be a threesome. Yet here she is feeling foolish because she wants to be a threesome with them, and doesn’t know if they want that, too. Jesus, wasn’t she listening when they asked her? I was. So I found her concerns over being foolish, a little…well, foolish. And hard to swallow.

Now by page 53 Carol, a freelance artist, is moving in with her men. Again, nothing wrong with that. I can dig it. But before she leaves her house to go to theirs, she checks her art supplies—which are, in her own words, her most important possessions— HOWEVER, ten pages later, (pay attention now, there may be a quiz) Carol decides to work at the men’s house and discovers she has only two artist pens and nothing else to do her art work with. Excuse me? If this intelligent, independent woman checked her art supplies before she left—these are her most important possessions, don’t forget—then how the hell did the fact that she had only two artist pens to work with come as a complete surprise? Sorry, but I couldn’t buy it. The whole scene felt like just a device to get Carol out of the men’s house and back to her own, where the author needed her to be so she could discover her ex-husband had broken in.

I also can’t buy most of the dialogue in Hot Wired. Some of it was okay, but a lot just didn’t ring true. It felt unnatural and stilted. I mean does a man having sex with a woman really say, “Ride me, Carol, girl.” And if he does, should you repeat it, even in fiction. All right, maybe that’s a little harsh. But to me at least, most of the dialogue didn’t sound like natural conversation.

So is there anything to like about Hot Wired? Yeah, the sex is hot and there is plenty of it. So if you like your sex straight without a lot of plot to muck it up, this may be just the book for you.

A Demon’s Kiss by Sable Grey

Review by Jasmine

4.5/5 Whips in the Backseat

A Demon’s Kiss by Sable Grey is a solid short read.  It is not every author that can this scillfully pack a punch of paranormal demons and sweet romance.  Sweet is the only way I can think to describe the interaction between Patricia and Jack.  She has pined for him as he runs the general store, he has been listening to her thoughts, that are anything but innocent when it comes to him.  The question is, when the Demon wings come out will she stay or will she run?

What I found very interesting is that the book is a historical set in 1837 Roscoe, Colorado.  Really as I read the historical setting slipped away which I found rather nice.  It would have hung up a story this short if the author had dwelled to much on the setting and distracted from the boy likes girl, girl likes boy aspect.  All in all this is a nice read, that warms the heart, as we see that courting between the hero and the heroine brought to a head by her discovery of Jack’s Demonic side.  Otherwise they likely would have been going on carriage rides and picnics for quite a while in their chaste road towards marriage.

Definitely a fun read for those that are partial to the genres of paranormal or historical and even for those that are not.  The relationship between these two characters drives the story like the most enjoyable reads do.
