Review: Headed For Trouble by Suzanne Brockmann

Headed For Trouble Suzanne Brockmann

Headed for Trouble is an anthology of out-takes/never before seen scenes, short stories that were previously published, and character interviews from Brockmann’s popular and addictive Troubleshooters series. This is book 16.5 in the series, but I use the word “book” loosely here. I was so stinkin’ excited to get my hands on anything related to [...]

Review: Surrender by Stephanie Tyler

Surrender (Section 8 #1) by Stephanie Tyler

This is a new series from Stephanie Tyler featuring a band of damaged and heavy baggage carrying former military guys and so far, two female characters. In this first book, there is a lot of setup going on and Tyler introduces us to 4 male characters and 2 female characters that I assume the series [...]

Review: Bad Attitude by K.A. Mitchell

Bad Attitude KA Mitchell

K.A. Mitchell wrote one of my favorite books – Bad Boyfriend (mm mm delicious!), so I was excited for a new release in her Bad in Baltimore series. Unfortunately Bad Attitude fell a little flat for me.  Gavin is an openly gay son of a powerful and rich family. One night after having too much [...]

Review: Nautier and Wilder by Lora Leigh and Jaci Burton

Nautier and Wilder by Lora Leigh, Jaci Burton

Nauti Siren by Lora Leigh I was a long time fan of the Leigh’s Nauti Boys series. It was one of the first erotic series I picked up when I delved into the genre. I read the first three books in the series and was a bit mesmerized. And at the same time couldn’t believe [...]

Review: Pierced by Ash Jay

Pierced

Shaun and his best friend Brett like to bring other guys into the bedroom for some fun. Shaun and Brett are not a couple – just long time best friends who have sex with each other. They  work a hospital, don’t live with each other, and I think they both like men and women. One [...]

Review: Screwing the System by Josephine Myles

Screwing the System by Josephine Myles

I’m excited when a new release comes out from Josephine Myles because I love her writing style and voice. It’s very unique, quirky, filled with “cheeky” characters, always hot, and often playful. She’s English and I love how that shines through in her characters and books. Screwing the System is heavy on the “daddy kink” [...]

Review: Ride the Fire by Pamela Clare

Ride the Fire by Pamela Clare

Many years ago I received a frantic text from a friend late at night. It read something like, “I just read the most amazing book and I can’t believe how much I loved it and if you don’t read it immediately I’m going to go crazy. I can’t even put into words what this book [...]

Review: Edge of Sanity by Shannon K. Butcher

Edge of Sanity by Shannon K. Butcher

It’s been over a year since I read book 2 in this series, so with the release of this 3rd book, Edge of Sanity, I found myself having to put it down after a few chapters and go back and read reviews of other books. I just couldn’t remember where the last book left off. And I [...]
