Shahzar by Anastasia Rabiyah (book one of series) fantasy epic e-book

Before Ms. Rabiyah published a multitude of sexy erotica, she wrote this grand epic fantasy-a character-driven novel that delves deep into the complicated heart of its gorgeous, unpredictable heroine.  Shahzar, always more warrior than princess is born to a city run by the controlling and sometimes greedy guild leaders.  She must fight for her right to rule under the watchful eye of her Uncle, a man devoted to hating the temple.  When the guild leaders demand that she follow tradition and take the High Bishop as her lover to create an heir, her Uncle makes her promise to murder the man, but will she?  What impressed me the most about Shahzar was the unique desert setting, the sweeping magical history and of course the romantic grandeur of Ms. Rabiyah's writing.  ***** By C.C. Moore

 

Vampire Trinity by Trista Bane *e-book*

Nerissa wanted nothing more in life than to be normal human. Only the fates had her destiny heading in a whole other direction, one that Nerissa would try all her life to deny. Nerissa had no idea that from the moment she was born, Summanus chose her to be his midnight bride; the only thing that can save her is to form a Vampire Trinity. That means she will finally have to accept the life she has been trying so hard to deny.

Sean knew Nerissa's secret succubus life she tried keeping hidden, he had secrets of his own. He wanted Nerissa for the past six months but his past would not repeat itself; he had to put his feelings aside no matter how badly he wanted her. Succubi lived only for sex and once she was done with him and moved on to another it would break Sean's heart.

Gregory knew Nerissa was starving herself because she wanted to make love to Sean and restore her strength. But why would she not take the sustenance Gregory so willingly offered?
Gregory loved her just as much if not more than Sean Jackson.

Nerissa was so blinded with wanting to be normal, she was so starved and weak that she could not fight against Summanus' attack. Now that she was branded with the bite of death, only an erotic union of love times three could be strong enough to put an end to the ancient vampire for good.

Trista Bane is an author that I am looking forward to reading more of in the future. The detail and story line were masterfully written, making it impossible to stop reading until I was finished. I enjoyed the secondary characters and how they all tied into the main characters very much, it brought more depth into the book. The Erotic love scenes were hot and oh so naughty, this is definitely a scorching read! 5 Hearts

A Valentine In July by J.T. Shultz *e-book*

Private Investigator Tia O' Shea has been plagued for the last three months by a mysteriously sexy man that comes to her in dreams. He seems so real and the passion they share is electric. How can a man that is not truly real leave his mark on her skin? When she voices her dreams to a friend he threatens to commit Tia if she does not stop this nonsense about falling in love with a dream man.

Valentino De Marcus can not explain the how's or whys of his dreams of this mystery woman. All he knows is he must find her to sate his sexual hunger once and for all outside of the dream world. The night he saved Tia from murderer, Prescott Jones, Val's life was definitely about to change. Love hit them both full force backed by erotic urges only one another could satisfy.

The O' Shea family ironically, are slayers and the De Marcus family are Vampires; it does not look good for this couple. But when Tia is sent to destroy the Jones twins, the love of her life almost loses his life saving her. Tia only knows one thing to do to keep her man with her for all eternity; she gives her life to him because living is just not worth it without the one you love.

A Valentine In July is an exciting erotic novella that any vampire lover would enjoy. I loved the magnetism from the very beginning of the characters. The story had an interesting plot and the erotic scenes did not over-power the story at all.

Ms. Shultz thrilled and excited me with her phenomenal story of vampire romance/erotica. This is the perfect read to get your heart pumping. 5 Hearts

Erotic Science Fiction at its best is written by the hands of a master! That is my opinion of S.J.Willing and this book, Poseidon VII. This story was action packed full of suspense, betrayal, and a touch of Erotica; the makings of an extraordinary book.

I loved the way S.J. Willing continued to keep my attention by having other events and characters added in the story besides just the two main characters. S.J.Willing is truly an author that pours heart and soul into each word of this book. I will be sure to read more books in the Undercover Agent Series. 5 Hearts

Ridley's Rival by Dawn Dominique

When Ashern Ridley returns to the homestead to discover that the family legacy and fortune he hoped to inherit is nothing more than a run-down ranch riddled with financial debt, he knows he’s in deep trouble. In order to inherit the ranch, he must work it for a year and make a profit, or he loses everything. To bring it back to its prominent standing in the world of mustang breeding, he must find an investor, and quick.

On the advice of an old forehand and close family friend, Ash approaches Madison. Her family has lived on the Ridley land rent-free for as far back as he can remember, but no one has ever told him why. Remembering Madison as a young Miss-know-it-all, he finds she’s grown up into a beautiful, determined woman, but quickly learns that little else has changed about her.

Madison remembers Ashern as a spoiled, mischievous boy, always getting her in some kind of trouble. She soon discovers that the knobby-kneed troublemaker she once knew is now a ruggedly handsome man, but still as self-centered as ever. Raised her whole life on the ranch, she cherishes the land more than Ash does. In order to keep her own family’s legacy, she agrees to invest, but on her terms only. Instead of using technological insemination machines as Ash suggests, she wants nature to take its course. She offers her male mustang to stud the two Ridley mares, and further agrees that her portion of the money will cover vet costs. Ash reluctantly agrees, but just as these two strong-willed characters begin to trust one another, dark secrets and a scheming maid threaten to tear them apart.  This cowboy western is hot, sexy, and romantic.

Through A Magic Mist by Tambra Kendall  

This story is Hot Hot Hot!

Kelly was tired of being the virgin with hormones racing, demanding male company and craving for release.
So she decided one night to chant a spell to the Great Goddess wishing for a man who in turn was hopefully her soul mate.
Kelly was startled by the man emerging from the silvery mist; he was beautiful. Kelly had never seen a more handsome man in her life, and he would be hers!

Sloan was the clan chief and Arch druid that had known of Kelly for some time. He knew she was the one to help save the clan as well as become his mate. The night had come when Travis, Sloan's brother came wrecking havoc upon the clan. The only thing that would save everyone was for Sloan to wed Kelly and perform the mating ritual in hopes that Travis could no longer disrupt the lives of the innocents.

Kelly was totally one hundred percent not going to marry Sloan, until she realized that it wouldn't be so bad after all. He was one good lover though she didn't have anyone to compare him to, she knew he was the only man she would ever want to share a bed with. Their union was hot and heavy each time, and when Kelly requested a man to show her release, she never would have imagined this God could make her feel the way he did.

Ms. Kendall is a spell binding writer who has a very very Hot imagination. This story was mostly about the union of two lovers but it had a purpose and that was to save the clan. I hope to read more of Ms. Kendall's work in the future, this time I'll make sure to have a glass of cold water on hand to cool me down. I think Through A Magic Mist is a 4 heart review all the way.

Bride From The Black Lagoon by Dara Edmondson  

Jodi Bentley wanted the finer things in life like an outrageous Cashmere sweater she knew she could never afford on a teachers salary. Who would it hurt to apply for one more credit card? Jodi didn't realize that it would actually hurt her and Kip her fiance. Especially if people began showing up to repossess everything they own.


Kip just happened to open the mail one evening and was completely shocked at the balances on Jodi's credit cards. Something had to be done about the way Jodi could just throw money away, at least until Kip got his big break as an actor.


Jodi came up with the idea to enter the television game show Bride From The Black Lagoon. The game show tests the engaged couple on their skills to provide for each other as well as children. The grand prize is one hundred thousand dollars; that was enough to pay off Jodi's debt then have left over for their wedding...if they stay together that is.


Upon arriving on Black Lagoon Island and meeting Evan the producer, and Sky the production assistant; the couple thought they were in good hands. Temptation has a way of tearing lovers apart, and this story is no exception. Sky is around every corner throwing herself on Kip, when Evan is trying his best to seduce Jodi. No one ever said this would be part of the game. Can Jodi and Kip overcome the temptations clutches or will they fail and lose the prize money?


Ms. Edmondson is an excellent story teller, I was hooked from the very beginning. Her characters had wonderful personality, I just wish a better picture of their faces were painted for me. With that aside, this story was very pleasing to read. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a little romance and mystery to satisfy their sweet tooth. Ms. Edmondson also throws a thrilling little twist into the mix that brings the story even more to life. This is a 4 heart read for sure.

In a Sensual Garden by Emy Naso (fantasy, erotic 18+ only)

Naso’s novella, In as Sensual Garden, is a total tease of a read. He takes the reader on a journey with several different characters, each seeking sexual bliss and finding something else entirely in a magical garden. In his usual lilting poetic style, he captures his reader, holds on and doesn’t let go until the end and even there he manages to reach out to the reader for more.

A fun read for a cold night. Just what’s needed to warm things up. By T Markou ****

To protect the next victim, Craig and Nick, partners that work for The Green Dragon Society, a secret organization that fights paranormal bad guys, must team up with Tyesha, a dark-skinned beauty that doesn’t believe in all this mumbo jumbo at first.

Time Bikers crosses genres like no tomorrow. There’s interracial romance, M/M, M/F and M/M/F explicit erotica, a vampire, time-travel and well, even a story, albeit given all those genres, it’s a unique one. I recommend it for a late at night read when you’re willing to accept a tale that sneaks away from the norm. By T Markou ****

Finding Her Place by Midnyte Dupree Genre: erotica/romance (Buy Now)

Plagued by sensual dreams of two lovers, Cameron agreed with the Colonel that it was time for her to take a vacation from the stress of being a fighter in the war.
Cameron and her dear friend Simone decided to visit planet Andro for some R&R. Only they were attacked on the way. Their ship crashed onto a planet where ghosts could make you their mother, and two men could claim you as their mate at the same time.
Serene, the little ghost that felt Cameron was perfect to be her mother, sneakily had Cameron placed in Commander Mars Borella's bed. She would just sit aside and wait for the perfect time to fill Cameron with her spirit to be reborn.


Mars was told by King Cerebus, that he must take a mate. In order for the mating to be considered appropriate, another male had to be present and engage in the sexual acts. And who better than Noah, the planets' doctor; Mars' best friend?
Little sparks from each man wisped across her skin when they touched her. This had not happened for many many years, so they knew they must claim Cameron before her space craft was repaired, and she left the planet without procreating.
Cameron had never felt so good at the touch of a man or should we say men until she met Noah and Mars. They made all her fantasies come true. She secretly wanted a family more than anything, and if the little spirit Serene had her way, Cameron would get just that.


What is to come of the steamy three-some when Cameron's space craft is repaired? Will she travel back to her home planet not knowing she is carrying a little part of Methuse home with her? Or will she stay and enjoy the raw sexual company of the Commander and the Doctor? Will she ever find her place in outer space?
Ms. Dupree has conjured up an exciting sci-fi tale of extreme sexual nature. This story could defiantly put a blush on your face at the images Ms. Dupree paints for you, using her extraordinary writing skills. I award Finding Her Place 5 brilliant hearts.

The Bride Wore Black by Shaunta Montgomery Genre: romance (Buy Now)

Black flowers, black table cloths, black wedding cake, oh and lets not forget a black wedding dress. Ok so only the dress was black but if you were planning your recently ex-husband and his new fiancé's wedding, could you be mature about it or ruin the whole thing for revenge?After ten years of marriage Anise's husband Brendon calls it quits for another woman, Allison.


Two days after the divorce papers were signed, Brendon and Allison announce their engagement. Talk about a low blow!
Anise had to get back on her feet so she convinced her friends to write up very convincing recommendations for the "Wedding Consultant" job she was applying for. Never had she planned a wedding in her life besides her own. Sure she dabbled here and there with friends but she didn't plan 15 weddings in one month. Yeah that is what her friends bragged about in their recommendations. So she got the job at Tiffany Weddings, not just an entry level job mind you the lead consultant.


Let's just say that most of the other consultants welcomed her with open arms. Besides the dreaded Donna who was so jealous of Anise getting the position she thought was rightfully hers.
Donna dumps a file on Anise's desk; lo and behold it belongs to Brendon Meyers and Allison Hildegrant. What a detestable woman Donna was. She tries to sabotage Anise anytime she can get a chance, hoping to get her fired.


Dealing with Bridezilla's not taking no for an answer, she meets Alex the owner of North Point. Evelyn Chase did not know the meaning of the word, NO. So Anise had to convince Alex to let her have the wedding at North Point. Alex never backed down but he had another property Evelyn could check out. From that day Anise and Alex began meeting and before you know it he practically lived at her house. I guess that Brendon thought she would be single for the rest of her life, until he showed up drunk one night at her home and found Alex there with her. Jealously tore right through Brendon.


So how did the wedding for her ex-husband and his new fiancé turn out? Did Anise do the right thing and make it beautiful or did she wreak havoc on the most important day of a woman's life? Is Alex the man that she could spend the rest of her life with? I guess you will just have to read to find out. Shaunta Montgomery's e-book was bewitching. I was captivated from the start. This story has romance, jealousy, love, and friendship. It is a lovely trip through one woman's mind to either be completely professional or to be vindictive. I give Ms. Montgomery 4 black hearts for her E-book The Bride Wore Black. by Crystal ****
