Rayna Stone is a relatively new published author. I reviewed her first book, Full Measure last month and thought it was good, even if there were a few issues. When Safe Haven came out, I was warned that it wasn't a menage... but I really wanted Kelly's story so I was excited. Now that I've finished the book, I'm slightly stunned. Read more [...]

I found this book to be yummy in all the right ways and quite a fun read with a lot of hot ménage sex. The story starts out at Sabrina and Jonas’s wedding. Sabrina and Jonas’s story is from an earlier book in the Awakening series called “Letting Go”. Samantha is Jonas’s sister and has been aware of the BDSM life style thanks to many of her relatives and friends. Samantha believes she has no interest in that way of life and is adamant that she is not “submissive”. 
It’s another gang bang!! Two readers, One book, Two ratings and Two reviews!! Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't. Take a look and let us know what you think about the book. Plus this time we have a question and a contest for you. 
OK, a divorced heroine who has panic attacks packs up her life and moves to Colorado for a fresh start. Her awesomely hot bisexual bosses introduce her to another awesomely hot bisexual couple. Sparks fly and ... well, you have to read to find out more.
Cooper McKenzie posted on her facebook about this new author out there doing BDSM erotic romance. Well, as I love Cooper, I had to check out the new author. Oh, I am so glad I did! Initiation is your standard boy meets girl, boy introduces girl to BDSM, boy and girl fall in love. That’s good right? Yes. The fact that the heroine is an older woman? That’s just icing on the cake. The boy wears a kilt and speaks some Scottish Gaelic? Oh, that’s the cherry. 
I'm a sucker for a BDSM club setting book so this one jumped out at me from the start. This stand alone installment of the "Master of Submission" series features a well respected & feared female CEO with a sub nature searching for her Dom. Of course the premise is she was looking for a safe place to find anonymous hook ups but be real, this is an erotic romance book and we all know there has to be a HEA ending. I liked the match up with these two. Alpha man personality who watched, observed, and used every tool in his arsenal including the club's dungeon theme room to pleasure his sub. The play action isn't too extreme as Kelly was an entry level participant in the BDSM lifestyle and it wouldn't have made sense to include edge play or canes at that point. I would have liked to have seen more bratty behavior and snarky dialogue between the two which would have enhanced the chemistry and sexual tension between the two but felt the heat factor between them sizzled regardless. 
It's no wonder the sheriff of Bliss, Colorado can't hire a new secretary with a job description that includes dealing with daily reports of alien and sasquatch sightings and citizens who are proud of their highest murder-per-capita in the state ranking. He uses an unusual hiring technique when he offers Gemma Wells, disgraced attorney now waitress at Stella's Restaurant, the choice of a hefty fine with jail time or agree to fill the office manager position in his department. 
Since mid-2011 when I read Bound for the first time, I have been waiting for the war that would put Cian and Beckett back on their rightful thrones, but preparations needed to be made, armies needed to be built, and relationships needed to be solidified. I must say that Beauty made the waiting all worth it.
