It's no secret that I love my Doms, especially Sadistic Doms. But after being in the lifestyle for over 10 years its a real pain in the ass to read some of these books. Either they are assholes and abusers dressed up with the Dom/Domme title and a weak woman who is more a doormat then anything. Or its just a bunch of kinky sex, nothing more. That is Not the case with this one.
Move over Sloane, there is room for both of us in Leo's heart . . . . and bed ;)

Woah! Book two in the Hot for Him Series has defiantly turned up the heat!
Play Harder doesn't miss a beat and continues right where book one left off.
Jordan chases after Eric after their Very public kiss and he means to teach him a lesson in patience.
Normally the one to take the lead, Eric is surprised at how much he loves Jordan 's bossy nature. Things heat up real fast and wall are torn down even faster when they finally let go and give into what they both want. Each other.
The sexual tension and connect is off the charts leaving more than just these two hot and bothered. This isn't just a fling for either of them. They want more, but Eric still holding back.
Just when Jordan thought it couldn't get any worse, they start being blackmailed with intimate images threaten to go public. With their careers are at risk, they need to seek to find out who is intent on ruining them. But this just leads to more drama about the game fixing which leaves Eric looking like the mastermind behind it all.
Can Eric really be the evil genius playing with Jordan's feelings? Or is it just what someone wants Jordan to believe?
Just like the first, this ends on a major cliffy that makes me want to beg for the third book to be released early!

Now that's not saying that this is a total bust. There are some VERY amazing stories in here that I can't wait to get more of and have become a stalker err . . . . I mean fan of.
All in all, its 99c! and even with the bad, the good is seriously worth way much more so, If you haven't already, Go grab this baby while you can!
Alessandra Torre - Sole
In saying that, it was a hot little read. If you've read Hollywood
Dirt, I am sure you will love this.
Kim Karr - Begging for more
The sex? Hmm I think I missed it. But it must have been good because
by morning, they are married!
Skye Warren - Heartbreak
Sarah Castille - Naughty Wishes
Well hello there Dan!

Dan and Kylie have been together 15 years. Over that time a lot has changed.
The once dominating, possessive Dan has become distant, more gentle.
Kylie, once wide and free is now more reserved. More aware and less embracing of her extra curves.
Life happened. Two Kids, a house, a dog, work. Comfort. It's caused a
shift between them.
When Kylie's 35th birthday rolls around she expects the same as every
other year from Dan. Nothing. As she slides into bed with her husband,
as far as possible from each other, he giver her the surprise she
never knew she needed . . . .
"THIS LOVE COUPON ENTITLES THE BEARER TO ONE MÉNAGE"
Dan is scared he's losing his wife and proposes a three-some with none
other then the towns sexiest dentist, Aiden. Hoping to give her the
fantasy she's wanted since they met, will bring her back to him.
After some begging, Kylie agree's and gets thrown through a whirl wind
of emotions. As things heat up and get more intense something clicks
with them both, their eyes finally open to how far they have drifted.
But will this be enough to save their marriage and bring them closer then ever?
You will need to read it for yourself. You really won't be disappointed ;)
Alexa Riley - His First and Only
I'm not actually sure how to review this because I'm not entirely sure what I read.
Tiffany and Ethan are childhood lovers that had planed their life together, their house, kids, every little detail. Ethan was her protector from the world, especially her father who often tried getting his way sexually with her. Then one fateful night, that were torn apart.
Ethan promised he'd come for her but Tiffany couldn't wait, she knew what her father was capable of. So she ran . . . . Ethan never stopped looking.
The complete opposite to this one sadly.
I spent almost the entire time checking how much longer I had and hoping that it picked up. It didn't. From cheesy lines to over the top instant orgasms, this has it all, and that's not a good thing. For me this was a huge bummer because I'd been so excited to read something from Alexa.
Julia Sykes - Decadent Knights
Okay, I'm right now.
But that's in her past, Smith has made sure that neither of those men can harm her again. Sadly, some demons are harder to kill. Lydia find comfort and release in her submission to Smith, so when he fastens her collar around her neck at Decadent, the BDSM club, her body instantly relaxes.
Let me start with saying BDSM books are a dime a dozen. And a lot of them are so generic that they are a bore. I can promise you, this is not one of those!
I devoured this one in no time and was left needing to know more.
Debra Presley -
Awe this was sweet. While extremely predictable, I still found this to be a sweet read.
So much so that I think I just might grab "Finding Us: A Nucci Securities Novel #1".
Nina Lane - Advent
Dean and Liv . . . . Ok, so the story wasn't bad. It was just really flat for me.Liv has fallen for the professor and things haven't been so easy on them. To start with, his family don't like her and in a few months Dean will no longer be in Madison.
Liv has numbered their days and against her better judgment has agreed to spend two weeks with him before he flies off to Paris for the remainder of the holidays.
In a spontaneous moment, Dean ask Liv to go to Paris with him, which opens a flood gate of everything Liv is afraid of with their relationship.
Dean knows what he wants and is willing to wait however long I takes to make her see that she's all he wants, regardless of the distance.But what does Liv truly want?
As I said, not bad but it was just . . . . Blah for me.
Tamsen Parker -
Forgetting her phone in a rush to get to work, Kinsey does the one thing she's been worried about since moving to Boston. Dooring someone.
After knocking Astrid off her bike and ruining her pants, Kinsey insists on taking her up to her apartment and getting her cleaned up and lending her some pants.
Until Astrid walked out of the bathroom. Now it's all she can think of.
Astrid should have been pissed at being knocked down, but one look at Kinsey and the offer to help her washed it all away. She's been with enough woman to know though that nothing comes from lusting after straight women. That doesn't stop all her thought going right to Kinsey.
after a few drinks with a Very eager submissive Kins on her hands . . . .
I wanted to love it, really I did. I wanted a hot, steamy sexy F/F read but it just didn't do it for me.
I absolutely hate that the author has referred to the other as "the other girl" instead of using their name. Example; "She’d noticed the way the other girl pressed her thighs" and it wasn't just once or twice, it was a fair few times. #Annoying.
The sex was alright, nothing to write home about, but the ally . . . . Hot damn!
Cynthia Sax - Test Driving the Billionaire
Speed freaks and #CarWhore get ready for a hot ride. . . .
Cassie, aka Wrench is head over heels in love with her need for speed billionaire boss, Drift. She has loved him for the last 3 years and spends every moment possible with him.
Even with their easy going friendship and flirting, no-holds-bars relationship, she knows she isn't the blonde model type of woman that he is attracted to. Add in the fact that she's a virgin and she's positive she never will be want he wants.
Drift like his life and sex the same. Hard and fast. But he's been keeping some feeling to himself when it comes to Cassie. Waiting for the time that she will be ready.
After an exhilarating test drive where Drift pushes the limits of a limited edition Lamborghini and equally pushes Cassie with his flirting, he casually states that she need to ‘dispose of an unwanted asset’ and he is the man to help her.
Flustered but ready for any contact with Drift, Cassie is more then eager to "dispose" of her virginity, knowing this will be a one time thing where she may end up broken hearted and jobless.
Turns out, Cassie was wrong, Drift has more then just a disposal on his mine and won't take no for an answer.
Alright, let me say right now, if you are not a #CarWhore like me, you more than likely will not like this one. It is filled with cheesy but dirty car talk throughout the entire story that will most certainly leave you a little hot under your bonnet ;)
Jen Frederick - Delay the Game
Lisle and Wyatt have been friends forever and that's the same amount of time Lisle has been saying she never wants to get married and settle down.
Now at the age of 27, both are still single and as much as Lisle wants nothing more then forever with Wyatt, she doesn't think there's a chance. After all, they've been in the friend zone since they were 8 years old and Wyatt has never appeared interested like that.
They have become near inseparable, they work together, plan holidays today, watch sports together and even live across from each other. But Lisle is ready for a change. She is over being lonely and wants her HEA.
New hair, eyebrows, makeup, wardrobe and the talk of moving away is all it takes for Wyatt to flip out with jealousy over the idea of her with anyone other then him. The fear of losing her all together pushes him to admit how he's always felt.
Now Lisle needs to make a choice, let fear rule her or open up and tell him that's she's loved him all along?
Awww this was a sweet story. It would have been really good to have had a full story of these two. There was a few real cheesy as fuck lines but meh but it is what it is.
Lynda Chance - Her First Choice
Lynda, Lynda, Lynda . . . . Why just a short story? I need more Tyler!
Tyler. Panty-wetting, Harley riding, dangerously sexy Tyler is looking to get laid. But so far no one at the club is holding his interest. They are either looking to settle down, something he won't do, or a "been there, done that" kind of bore.
Ready to throw on the towel on his night he checks out the club one more time while two woman, he's already had, continue to try and get his attention. That's when he sees her.
He knows who she is, after giving her a heart attack a few years earlier when he rode up on his Harley and graphically told her what he'd like to do with her.
Whitney is on the prowl for some revenge. After being fucked over by her loser ex, she wants to find herself a hot guy to make her forget all about him. After scanning the club and finding no one she really wants, her eyes finally land on Tyler Copeland. The intimidating, yet sexy as fuck man that she's fantasised about all these years.
The instant their eyes connect the desire, want. The primal lust is bursting at the seams. It doesn't take long to realise that while she is terrified at his intimating size and vibe he puts put, that she wants him just as bad as he wants her.
Admitting defeat at seeing the two women at his side, she decided to look else where. But Tyler's not having that. She is His, and he will make sure she, along with everyone else knows that.
Cynthia Rayne - Sympathy for the Devil
YES! Now this is freaking amazing!
Clayton not only had a nasty habit of mental abuse, drinking and cheating, but also worked for the Mafia. The night he laid his hands on her, she knew she needed to get and her son out of there
Freaked out and ready to defend herself and her son, she reluctantly lets him in after some convincing that he's not here to harm her or her son.
Things heat up real fast after relief washes over her at the news and what better way to show her gratitude then by a quick meaningless fuck?
This is perfect! There is just enough to leave you begging for more.
CJ Roberts - Trailer Park Eden
Ok . . . . I'm dumbfounded.
Seriously, if you are still reading this review, Stop! Go and buy this
anthology. You need it!
Parker and Kylee. I don't even know where to start.
If you have a problem with twincest, don't read this one. I'd hate for
this to get a bad rep just because it's not your thing.
They say twins do everything together growing up, but for these twins
it's a little different.
Born with disadvantages, their mother left them with their disabled
father who drunk far too much and often forgot to pay the bills or
even get food for them.
You see, Parker is deaf, she is his ears. Kylee is blind, he is her
eyes. They are perfectly paired.
Parker is fiercely protective over his twin sister and learned early
on that they could only rely on each other. He will do whatever it
takes to keep her safe. Including turning tricks to keep her clothed
and fed and the water on.
Kylee doesn't like that one bit. Parker is Hers and she will make sure
he knows it.
Ok, Gimmi More CJ!!!!
Nikki Sloane - It Takes Two
Pam Godwin - Heart of Eve
So, like a bad accident, I'm going to just move on and hope for better.
Nina Levine - Steal My Breath

She would love nothing more then a romp around the sheets with her best friends boss, Luke, but knows she's got no chance, besides in her dreams. And dream she does about his amazing ass, perfectly sculpted body and eyes she could get lost in for day.

You see, the problem is Luke is holding a major secret . . . .
So, after soooo much pushing from a very dear friend of mine to read Nina, I finally popped my cherry! Boy am I glad I did!
I love this! There was enough of a story to get me invested with the characters and leave me needing more. Thankfully Nina is releasing their Full story early this year!
Make sure you are signed up to Nina's newsletter so you can find out when the Full story of this is released!
Shoshanna Evers -
This . . . . Started extremely slow and well honest,y, never really picked up.
There really is nothing more to say other then It's your typical Rapunzel story.
Kidnapped and held captive in a tower by the witch until a brave Knight comes along to save her in order to get her hand in marriage.
Anna Zaires - Swept Away
Arus is not the Greek God, he is from the galaxy Krinan exploring earth. When he see Delia in danger from the storm, he instantly jumps to save her.
First fearful of what the stranger will do with her, Delia tries to struggle and get back home, but as time passes she realises that he means her no harm. In fact the more she pays attention she realises that he not only friendly, but extremely turned on having her squirming in his arms.
What's sex like with a man from another galaxy who likes to drink your bloody thus giving you the same endorphin like rush? Grab the anthology and find out!
I did not expect to like this one. Firstly, it's not really something I would have willingly went and picked up. And secondly, it started out real slow and . . . . Strange.
Avery Aster - Unique
Holy Fudge Cakes! As always, Avery doesn't disappoint!
I've been dying for more about the good girl Kiki and here she is, all
in her virginal glory and with the sex-God fiancé, Dejon to boot.
It starts with the present day, Kiki tied up after being shot and
kidnapped then back peddles to tell you how this all came about.
Dejon has never been one to say no to his twin brother Dash, so when
he demands Dejon help him steal 3 blood diamonds and return them to
Africa, at his late fathers dying wish, he agrees.
Things are going pretty smooth for Dejon too. Two gems down and only one to go.
That is until he learns Kiki will be running the event where final
diamond will be.
This is a damn tease, I will admit, the second I got this anthology, I
skipped right to Avery and dug in. In true Avery style, this story
gets hot and heavy, especially when Big Daddy and Red make an
appearance ;)
This leave you with more questions then answers and definitely leaves
you hanging for the full story!

Jenika Snow - Owned
Rose's main focus in life is taking care of her ill brother. This has left her with not much of a social life and left her with financial issues.
She doesn't know how she is going to financially keep herself afloat until she receives an invitation to an exclusive and specific auction.
Jaxson has everything he will ever need, including more money then he could ever spend.
He can have any woman he desires, but he doesn't have is a woman who doesn't want his money.

When she is delivered to her highest bidder, Rose is taken back to see her boss on the other side of the door. Shocked and excited are just a few emotions that rocket through her as their night progresses and Jaxson lets her know that she is His, and he wants more then just one night.
Alrighty, This story was fucking HOT!
I wanted to give this a higher rating but I just couldn't for a few reasons.
Firstly, there's some editing issues that drove me crazy. Misspelt words/ incorrect words or repeated words have popped up just a few too many for me.
And secondly, Virgin Blood is Not fucking sexy in any light, said in any way by any hot hunky alpha billionaire!
Other then that, I loved the story!
My first read from Julie A Richman.
Sierra Stone is a tough, hard working, kick ass businesswomen and because of these attributes her boss loans her out to his VIP client Hale Lundstrom
He's very remorseful as it wasn't something he intended to do, make her feel like a whore.
She's not going to mix pleasure with business so she fends off any suggestion from him that they should hook up, she worked way too hard to be seen as a slut, not until the project they are working on is done anyways.
They have fun working together and are focused on getting the project done. Flirty sexy bantering between the two shows they are both more than interested and attracted to each other.
