#Review: Grace Street by @ella_dominguez (@DameMargo)

Grace Street by Ella Dominguez
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

GRACE STREET is a fascinating story reminiscent of the television shows “Tell Me Lies” and “Hannibal”, only the focus is on the romantic relationship instead of a murder. It features a man who thinks he’s the master of the mind game, and the strong heroine who unexpectedly challenges him. This is a dark story with some harsh elements, but it’s not all doom and gloom. There’s plenty of excitement and the occasional laugh to prevent the plot from getting mired down. Also, Elsa is no shrinking violet, and I’m planning to add several of her quotes to my favorites list.

At first I had trouble understanding Elsa’s attraction to Victor. He starts their relationship by stalking her, and frankly it’s creepy. Even Elsa thinks Victor’s behavior is sinister, and describes him as “Beautifully Creepy”. Elsa fingers her mace, but hesitates due his attractiveness. I wanted to yell at her, Do it! Do it! Of course, macing him wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun as the witty repartee they indulge in instead.

“…I’ve had my share of dangerous men and I’m over it.”

Elsa decides to follow Victor down the rabbit hole a little further, and meets him at a house on Grace Street. There the story turns hot. He’s still dark and torments Elsa without remorse, but I could see why she stayed. Whew! A bit of hot, dirty sex sure as hell hits the right spot for Elsa as well as the reader.

“So what you’re saying is: everything will be safe, sane and consensual?”

“Not exactly, but two out of three ain’t bad.”

Soon Elsa starts playing the game, but not exactly by Victor’s rules. She may be submissive sexually, but that doesn’t make her either stupid or a doormat. This is a concept which is missing in way too much BDSM fiction. Submissive doesn’t mean never questioning your dominant lover. It also doesn’t mean stupid or weak. No, I don’t subscribe to the theory ‘the submissive actually has all the power’ theory. When you’re tied down and your lover is flogging the crap out of you, how in charge do you really think you are?  Elsa a smart, educated woman, and she starts turning the tables on Victor. It’s delicious to read.

GRACE STREET is intriguing with some very good characters, however, there are a few issues. The story develops a bit too slowly so the book seems much longer than the advertised 235 pages. There’s also an anal sex scene with no lube which always makes me clench my ass cheeks in horror. Lastly, there is no happy ending to this story. Honestly, I don’t see how there could have been a happy ending without ruining the book, but it’s important to note for those who require one in their books.

So who would enjoy GRACE STREET? Well, it’s less dark than “MindFuck” by Manna Francis although that term comes to mind frequently. It’s around the same level of darkness as “Bared to You” by Sylvia Day, only the characters/story are deeper. GRACE STREET is unique, and the story has plenty of interesting places to go in the next installment. This isn’t an automatic one click for the next book in the series for me, but on the other hand I can’t get Elsa or Victor out of my head.

#Review: Tainted Touch by @LucyVMorgan @DameMargo

Tainted Touch by Lucy V. Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

“Tainted Touch” is a well-written book full of witty dialogue, which is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. It's also a book of contradictions. There are humorous lines almost every other page, but these are balanced by some serious angst. The first half of the book is appropriate for a Young Adult audience as there is tremendous drama over holding hands and the first kiss, while the second half of the book includes several, explicit sex scenes. Much of the book focuses on the romance between Cait and Art, but a literary subplot contemplating the meaning of life is also included. Sometimes the overly complex plots gets in it's own way, but overall “Tainted Touch” is a fun, rewarding read.

The heroine, Cait, describes herself as “more conflicted than your average bag of snakes” and that's a good description. She was mentally abused by her ex-boyfriend whom she hilariously describes as a “deluded scrotclown”. The scars linger and effect her ability to not only form new relationships, but even to simply touch other people. Cait is supported by a wonderful cast of friends who add lots of life and laughs to the story. It's easy to sympathize with her struggles, while simultaneously rooting for her to get her head out of her ass.

The plot doesn't fall victim to the usual clichés, and Cait's issues with self worth seem all too real. However, the book is a bit slow, and seems longer than the advertised 336 pages. At one point Cait says, “We've spent so long on the cusp of kissing that sometimes, I forget that we haven't.” I wanted to jump up and down and yell, “Yes, I know. Now get on with it already!” The author was making a point about Cait having trouble being touched, but the build up definitely drug on too long. The sex scenes were good once we finally got to them, but the explicit language was like a slap upside the head with a wet flounder because it was such an abrupt change from the page after page of earlier turmoil over even touching lips.

The hero, Fist Candy - also known as Art, is a mystery for much of the book. He's the hot, new massage therapist whom Cait lusts after at work. When he returns her interest, she's shocked. Art has his own demons though, and his difficult history is revealed as their romance progresses. He's a true blue kind of guy though, and definitely qualifies as an upgrade in the boyfriend department.

This review would not be complete without mentioning the cake. It's practically a character in the book. Most of the characters are students, and while their world should revolve around studying, it mostly revolves around cake and Instagram. Vanilla, chocolate, and everything in between are represented. If you make it through this book without falling victim to a cupcake, you're a better woman than I. Be prepared.

Review: Blood Legacy

Blood Legacy by Vanessa Redmoon
My Rating:  3 of 5 Stars


BLOOD LEGACY by Vanessa Redmoon introduces us into a wonderfully interesting, post apocalyptic world where the Vampyrs have seized control of the government and humans have been reduced to little more than blood slaves.  The heroine, Raven, publicly works as an Administrative serving the vampires in their businesses and dutifully visiting the Donation Center weekly to give them a pint of her blood. Secretly she works for the Resistance gathering information in the hopes that someday her efforts can help set humanity free. It is both a dream and a nightmare come true when she is assigned to the staff of Victor Bresslov, a powerful Prince of one of the most prestigious Vampyr families. Raven fears him and knows he could kill her very easily, but surprisingly she also finds herself very attracted to both him and the promise of violence.

This novella is quite tantalizing and I want to sink into this dystopian universe further. The set up promises delights, which the book doesn't quite deliver though. The cliff hanger ending indicates another installment is planned which hopefully will fulfill the promise of BLOOD LEGACY. There are some very hot sex scenes, but be warned they are full of blood and violence. This book sets up what could be a great series, but is more of an introduction than an entire story itself. The fantasy world is quite detailed though and the characters are very engaging.

There were a few stumbling blocks in the story, which pulled me out of the action and caused a bit of head scratching. Characters seem to make choices without sufficient motivation or at least without sufficient explanation, and their actions can be a bit incongruous. There is a strong BDSM element to BLOOD LEGACY, but the actions and reactions of the characters don't really adhere to its normal practice. A typical master uses very deliberate, sometimes cruel, actions to craft a particular response from the recipient. Victor's actions seem more random, and when the reader is led to expect one response from Raven, sometimes she has the opposite reaction.  Some of these flaws may simply be issues caused by the short length of the novella resulting in a lack of space for the author to fully explain the whys and hows of every situation.

Overall, I recommend giving BLOOD LEGACY by Vanessa Redmoon a try. It's a fairly short read and not expensive at $.99, but will leave you wanting more sex, blood, and intrigue. This series definitely has promise.
