Lorraine Loveit – Full Time

I usually thank authors at the end of my post, but I’m switching it up this time.  Thank you to Lorraine Loveit, because unlike most other authors, she did a fantastic job of recapping the previous books in the series without over doing it.  It was a great beginning.

In Full Time, Susie is in a precarious but enviable position.  I wouldn’t necessarily classify it as a problem – having two dominant males vying for her.  If I can see beyond my own personal jealousy of her fictional character, I feel her angst and struggle.  I found myself reverting back and forth between Team Brendon to Team Jason.  I love the struggle that Susie has between understanding what’s in her head and in her heart.  It’s not always clear, even to oneself, how one feels towards a person.  This dilemma makes the book really interesting.  In addition, Susie is relatively new to having a BDSM relationship and is still trying to understand her own personal limits and what it all means.  The books is filled with eye-opening and jaw-dropping steamy scenes that will not disappoint.

Included was a bonus chapter from the next in the series: “Time On” – OMG I can’t wait to read it.  This is one of those series that gets better and better after each book.

K.L. Middleton, LR Potter, C.J. Pinard – Summer Sizzle

51rCx+tnCkL._AA160_ A Trio of Tales all involving men in uniform: Cop, Fireman, and Marine. Chasing Emma by K.L. Middleton

Shameless cop, gets caught with the nurse’s panties in his hand.  A great way to start a story!  Chase, the cop, has a great sense of humor and the way that he can make Emma blush is alluring.  The story is both sweet and spicy.  Everyone’s Fourth of July should be so spectacular.

Controlled Burn by LR Potter

The story starts with a hilarious break-up scene.  Anyone caught is such a circumstance should be this  articulate.  Kenna drops the bags of food and says,

“Well at least now you can feed the poor woman, Max.  From experience, I know she’ll still be hungry after feeding on what little you have to offer.”

In the rest of the story, the Fireman, Ty, brings the heat.  The story is both hot and heartfelt.  What a wonderful combination!

Rush of Innocence by LR Potter

Those marines down in San Diego are definitely difficult to resist.  Is it enough to have a well-built, beautiful man that: is fabulous in bed, texts and calls frequently, and flies you to Florida?

Geneva West – Brian Gets Taken

HOLY HOT quick read.  Love the cover, because all I keep thinking about is the two men wiping each other down with oil.  Well, to be honest, I can’t stop thinking about the rest of the book, either.  I like that the book can incorporate a bit of humor in a steamy scene.  Brian notes the difficulty in coordinating and multi-tasking.  No worries, he prevails in his endeavors.

This is actually the second in the series – Brian’s Package: Brian’s First Man, Brian Gets Taken, and Brian’s Domination.  While I probably would have enjoyed it more had I read the first in the series, it wasn’t like I didn’t enjoy every minute of this 20 minute story.

This is the first in the series – Wicked Ink Chronicles

Awesome quick read!  It’s got all the ingredients for a great bedtime read – (1) Hot, muscled, talented tattoo artist that rides a motorcycle; (2) long-lost teenage love; (3) hot love scenes.  I would definitely recommend this book.  I’m looking forward to the next in the series: Shattered Ink, and Rebel Ink.

Erika Foxx – A Taste For Kylie

Great bedtime read, particularly with a spouse/mate at your side.  Why?  It’s a great conversation starter.   A married couple has a good loving marriage, but the husband has had a strong desire for many years for a particular sexual fantasy (which does include his wife).  He has to find a way to approach his wife and get her on board with the idea.  Perhaps, it can spark a conversation between you and your partner about your own fantasies.

Quarterback Draw (Book 9) will be available on Feb. 3, 2015 and is currently available for pre-order on amazon.

I cannot get enough of this series!  My life comes to a halt when I bring one of these books home.  Ripped sports guys that have depth, too.  The characters are amazing and I adore how  the characters from all the books are intertwined.  I’ll be racing faster than Gray Preston, in One Sweet Ride, to get the next in the series.

Sydney Jamesson – TouchStone for play

This is the first book in the Story of Us Trilogy.

There were a couple of elements in this book, which will definitely make it an unforgettable read for me.  First, the use of dual names for a singular character was fantastic.  I love how Elizabeth/Beth takes on both roles and Ayden accepts both personas interchangeably.  It seemed very well suited for her character, rather than trying to act like a full blown Switch and demanding to be called Mistress. Second, the incorporation of music references into the text messages between Beth and Ayden was sensational.

As an aside, I think it would be really cool, if when reading a book like this you could click on the title of a referenced song and hear the song play instantly.

Lauren Dane – “Laid Bare”

This is the 1st in the Brown Family series.  I rarely make time to re-read books, but this was either the second or third time I’ve read this book.  The series is phenomenal!  I want to be adopted into the Brown Family.  Each story is crazy exceptional.  There’s nothing that gets old about these stories.  These are a must purchase, but do not lend to a friend unless they sign a contract that they will return the book to you.

Laid Bare starts off the series with a bang, making you feel raw and exposed.

[Todd] “You’re bad for my self-control, Erin.  You make me want things I should’t want.”

…

[Erin] “Or maybe I make you want things you’ve always wanted and only now have a safe place to express them,” she challenged.  “Why shouldn’t you want them?  Why shouldn’t you get off on what gets you off?”

In addition, to some wild hot scenes, Lauren Dane draws out the reader’s appreciation for true love and acceptance.

Also, check out the spin-off series: Delicious (Sway, Tart, Lush)

Great name for the series because each story is sinfully delicious.  This is an awesome extension from the Brown family, but great as a stand alone series too.  The friendship between all the women in this series can seriously make a person jealous.
