The Perfect Dom, a collection of four stories with D/s themes, is the latest creation from the self-proclaimed "smutty pen" of Lucy Felthouse, a prolific eroticist based in the UK. The stories in this anthology all belong to a sort of sub-genre that could well be labeled BDSM-lite. Basically this means that they have elements of BDSM in them that are erotic but relatively tame compared to what hardcore BDSM practitioners typically engage in. 
This was that feel good type of read where the girl who was never pretty enough, skinny enough, or popular enough captures the attention of two sexy droolicious guys at a BDSM club. There’s no serial killer or stalker looking to abduct, rape, or abuse the heroine storyline, but that doesn’t mean that this isn’t any less terrific. Characters from previous books in the series do make cameo appearances but otherwise this is strictly a read that features Sasha, Peyton, and Gavin. And that’s a good thing. 
From the first page, I was hooked. Two very hot Aussie Doms (that happen to be tough ex-SAS), one very independent sub in denial and in hiding, a very bad guy and some great friends and, presto, you have a great story. I laughed, I blushed, I swooned, I loved it. 
This is the third installment in the “Masters & Mercenaries” series which features the gang from the McKay-Taggart Security Agency. When credible information is received that Eli Nelson is hiding out in London, the team heads out to settle up an old score. Liam O'Donnell is sent in undercover to get close to Avery Charles, assistant to a charitable philanthropist, who may have information that could help flush out Nelson’s whereabouts. He is authorized to use any and all means available to gain her confidence. 
"Wild Thunder" was a ho-hum book for me. The main character Shanay Gold is trying to get to her buddy/sometimes lover Ethan James who is holed up deep in the mountains in Virginia. Ethan had left his life as a cop to escape his own personal torment. Shanay and Ethan aren't star-crossed lovers, but Shanay feels obligated to check up on him and see if she can bring him home. 
It's Ben and Chase! I have been waiting for Ben and Chase's story since we first met them! As soon as I got this book, I started reading... and couldn't stop. I loved this story. I think this is possibly the best story by Sophie Oak so far and that's saying a lot. Siren Unleashed is not only hot and sexy, it's emotionally seductive in a way that binds you up in the characters and doesn't let you go until the story is done. 
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. 
This book is the 6th book in Dakota Trace’s Doms of Chicago series. Each of the books in the Doms of Chicago series can be read separately. This is the story between Rena, who wants to forget the BDSM scene and Jackson who wants Rena to submit to him. Jackson also has other problems on his mind with someone targeting his business and his life. 
You guys may remember my review of One Dom at a Time earlier this week. I believe I said that I would read the rest of the series but avoid any scenes with Damian, correct? Well, Ms Roberts also read that and with a laugh, asked if I would give her one more chance to see if Damian could change my mind. You see, Domination in Pink is a continuation of their story. So, I accepted the challenge. 
"Spy Games: Birthday Games" was an exceptional book right out of the gate. Mia Downing did a great job of grabbing the reader's attention immediately and hooking you in. This book is M/F/M menage with a BDSM kick. The main character Jake, is given a threesome as a birthday present from his best friend, Chase Sanders. This threesome includes not only both men, but Chase's hot wife Kate. Neither Chase nor Jake are bi-sexual, but they are both exceptional Doms. Kate is a bratty submissive through and through. 
I hadn't read a book by Michelle Zurlo before, but had heard good things about her books, so I was looking forward to reading this one. I will say that it did not disappoint. This book is kind of short at just under 30k words, but it's packed with some steamy fun.
Brothers Talib, Kadir, & Rafiq have been on the hunt for a girl, who they can agree on, to marry and feel they've finally found her in Piper Glen, an employee of the Black Oak Oil Co. In the age old tradition of their ancestors, they are required to kidnap their chosen and keep her for thirty days, at which point she must make a decision to become their wife, or reject them and end the relationship. Getting Piper to Bezakistan is easy, it's keeping her that will the problem. Especially when a series of events threaten the safety of Piper from enemies who would see the 'al Mussad' family brought to their knees and banished from the country of their birth. 
What is it with me and books that give me mixed feelings?? This is another one. I liked this book... mostly. There were a lot of good scenes and good sections. I enjoyed the characters and overall enjoyed the storyline. I got tied up in it and laughed and even cried a couple of times. Which is all great and the signs of a good story. However, there were also some major issues.
