#Review: Tempted by Two @PortiaDaCosta

Tempted by Two by Portia Da Costa
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It's said that most men fantasize about watching two women having sex. I've learned that a lot of women fantasize about watching or even joining two men while they're having sex. I vote yes!

In TEMPTED BY TWO, Katie Warren meets artist Marcus Dane while she's admiring one of his erotic paintings at a showing. The painting depicts a woman being pleasured by two delicious men and it sparks a longing in Katie. She really wants to know what it's like to be that woman, sandwiched between those lovely men. Then she literally runs into the man who not only painted the portrait, but was also one of the models; and he invites her to come meet the other model who just happens to be his partner.

Katie enjoys her first ever ménage a trois with the delightful lovers, but is somewhat discouraged when she realizes that the men are longtime lovers and she believes that she's a third-wheel and possibly in their way.

After giving her some time and space to reflect, Owen and Marcus begin to pursue Katie in hopes of talking her into consenting to having more sexy encounters. Katie does agree to spending more time with the pair until her holiday is ended. And the love fest is on.

Once Katie's holiday is over and she's back to her real life, she's made up her mind that she doesn't really like her job anymore and she knows what she really wants to do and who she wants to spend her life with. So she starts making plans, but before she can execute those plans, Marcus and Owen show up at her jobsite and whisk her away.

TEMPTED BY TWO was full of fun, sexy times. What it didn't have was much character building or story line. There was a quote in TEMPTED BY TWO that grabbed my attention: "I mean, shagging each other senseless all the time is all well and good, but sometimes we all have to do other stuff, don't we?" I would have liked to have seen some of the other stuff.

#Review: One Night of Misbehavior by @ShelleyMunro 4 Stars

One Night of Misbehavior by Shelley Munro
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cinderella meets Beauty and the Beast in this modern day fairy tale. Charlotte Dixon has put her entire life on hold as she's been emotionally blackmailed into staying home and taking care of her stepmother's ailing mother. She's also forced to take care of the house and cook meals for her ungrateful step-mother and step-sisters to "contribute to the household" since she's unable to have a regular job and take care of her Gran at the same time.

She meets a sexy masked Zorro at the costume ball her grandmother manipulates her into attending and she shares a night of passion with him after the ball. Then it's back to her mundane life of cooking and cleaning for her family.

Until her grandmother arranges a job interview at Marlborough Media. Then she's confronted with her masked man who's the owner of the company and her potential new boss.

Ashley Marlborough is called "The Beast" by the media because of extensive burn scars he suffered when caught in the fire that killed his mother when he was a child. He's considered a player because he doesn't stay with one woman long, but in reality he doesn't want to be used for his money. He wants to be loved for himself.

Once he starts pursuing Charlotte, he realizes that she isn't interested in his money; she likes him for himself. But she's extremely skittish and highly values her independence since she's been unpaid maid labor for her family for years. And he really has his work cut out for him convincing Charlotte that he's truly interested in committing to her.

I really enjoyed this twist on the Cinderella story. Having the man have to work for the woman's commitment is one of my favorite tropes. And Charlotte made Ash work for it until the very end.

#Review: Come Undone by @MadelynneEllis 4 Stars

Come Undone by Madelynne Ellis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What happens when a good girl runs into the bad-boy rocker of her dreams? The one whose music was a lifeline seeing her through the torture of living in a religious cult where she was punished for not caving to their pious demands? That would be COME UNDONE.

Xane Geist walks away from his band during a show, unable to perform because of a deep betrayal of his friendship from two of the band members. Not only has the pair betrayed him, but the rest of the band doesn't even seem to care.

Daniella Fosbrook is there to see her favorite band perform, but her friend has nicked a backstage pass and so Dani misses all the drama onstage, but literally runs into her hero Xane, backstage. He talks her into driving off with him to a secluded location so he can "get knackered".

Once they've reached their destination and have a chance to get to know each other a bit, Xane realizes that Dani is not an average groupie. Yeah, she's definitely a real fan, but she sees more than the rock persona to the real man underneath the make-up and costume.

Dani knows that to men like Xane she could be just one girl in a crowd of many. She has no expectations of their time together going any further than it has, but against the odds Xane does contact her again and sweeps her away for a whirlwind, sexy weekend in Monaco. Although they have some good times there, the fun comes to a screeching halt when there's an altercation with one of the bandmates and the press gets wind of it.

So once again, Xane and Dani are on the lam. This time to a secluded island retreat owned by Xane's cousin. Dani is confronted by the ghosts of her past, while Xane is blindsided by some tragic news of his own.

And . . . that's it, folks. The. End. I absolutely adored Xane. He's a bad-boy rocker. He's raw; he's 100% secure in his sexuality. He's down and dirty. Yet he's also tender and not pushy with Dani, who is clearly inexperienced and very skittish. Dani is a sweet girl. She has a lot of hang-ups about sex because of the brainwashing from the religious cult. But even though she's nervous, she's still willing to try new things. Especially when she knows they will make Xane happy. The only thing that could make COME UNDONE better for me is more. Now. Definitely sign me up for the rest of the series!

#Review: In a Cowboy's Bed

In a Cowboy's Bed by Cat Johnson, Vonna Harper, Lynn LaFleur
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

IN A COWBOY'S BED is an anthology featuring three hot cowboy stories.

The first story, "Two for the Road" by Cat Johnson features a young actress named Heather London who's been feeling stifled in her personal life as well as her career by her controlling manager mother. She meets hunky cowboys Ned and Ben when the car she's driving breaks down and they find her stranded at the side of the road. She spins them a wild story about why she's running then goes home with them. After a few days of some rather hot m/f/m action, she takes off again but then returns after she's landed a movie role based on her talent instead of her name.

I did enjoy this story, but it left me wanting more.

The second story, "Soul of a Cowboy" by Vonna Harper has journalist Kathy Vinoza seeing out rancher Mike Moss so she can write a story about ranchers who utilize Bureau of Land Management land as a supplement to their own land when taking care of their herds.

I liked Mike, but the story had a feel of insta-love which I don't care for.

The third story, "Trouble in Boots" by Lynn LaFleur is about bar waitress Keely Sheridan and her long-time crush Nick Fallon. Nick has also been crushing on Keely, but feels like he has to get his financial situation in check before he has anything to offer a woman. Keely goes to stay with Nick after he's injured firefighting and the sparks fly.

While I enjoyed the first two stories, this one was my favorite.

#Review: Becoming Sir by @ella_dominguez

Becoming Sir by Ella Dominguez
My Rating:  3 of 5 stars

Take a former assassin who's a newbie Dom-in-training yet who is yearning to be accepted for the man not just a killer and you have Sawyer Morrison. Sawyer was my favorite character from Ella Domingez's ART of D/S series and I was very excited to learn that he was getting his own story in BECOMING SIR.

After working with Dylan Young, Sawyer has learned that he has Dominant tendencies so he decides to learn more about the BDSM lifestyle because he believes that this is the path he should be following. His new love interest Sonya has broken things off with him because she has no interest at all in even trying to learn anything about BDSM.

Dylan and Isabel use their resources to introduce Sawyer to a submissive who will train him, then the club owner also introduces Sawyer to his slaves to Sawyer for more training.

Sawyer has some difficulty deciding who he wants to be with for awhile because after he's spent some time with his trainer Sarah, he's developed some really strong feelings for her. She's helped open him up to new experiences and forced him to be more open in his communications with other people. Made him push his personal boundaries. But he's also developed some feelings for the club owner Kerian's slave, Ciara after doing some training with her. After doing some soul-searching though he does decide that Ciara belongs with her true Master Kerian and he takes a chance and asks Sarah to be his submissive.

While I did enjoy BECOMING SIR there were some things that bothered me. There were some editing errors; some were hard to figure out what the author was trying to say. I thought that maybe it was too soon for Sawyer to be using tools like a bullwhip on an actual person after only a few hours of instruction. And for such an alpha man, I found Sawyer to be rather wishy-washy when it came to flip-flopping back and forth on who he wanted to be with.
