Review: Sin City


Sin City
Sin City by Lacey Alexander

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Oh! Good lord! That was pure trash...and trust me, the Lord was certainly not involved :). Might I add that it was spectacularly written trash--LA does dirty very well.

Not much to report b/c it is her typical story line. Traveling business woman gets all kinds of freaky with hot kinky man. This one, however, had quite the variety-in 3 nights there was a fantastic array of sexual situations including M/F/M/M, M/F/M, F/M/F.

Review: Seven Nights of Sin


Seven Nights of Sin
Seven Nights of Sin by Lacey Alexander

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



As is typical for Lacey Alexander's books, the protagonist, Brenna is a meek and mild mannered office chick just waiting for some bad boy to come along and drag her into the depths of sexual deviance. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining about Alexander's writing style or plot choices--this is why I keep coming back for more. Although the theme is generally the same, each story has a unique plot with hot characters who make me want to be that lucky little shy female starring in the book.

Review: French Quarter


French Quarter
French Quarter by Lacey Alexander

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Once again, Lacey Alexander brings mystery, intrigue and of course, let's not forget total corruption of the naive and innocent heroine. And of-course, I enjoyed every second of the corrupting :-)

Liz is our "innocent" in this first book in the Hot in the City series set in New Orleans. She is up rooted from her "Stepford Wives" life in Maryland when her fiance is relocated to New Orleans. She starts to suspect that Todd, her fiance is cheating on her and hires P.I., Jack to uncover the truth. On their initial meeting, Liz and Jack definitely have chemistry--do-gooder Liz has no idea what doors are waiting to be opened as she closes the door on her relationship with Todd. She is a quick study and wastes no time finding her wild side...

Let's see, how many ways can Liz have dirty hot sex?

with a man she just met (Jack) ✔
in an alley ✔
with a female stripper ✔
while Jack watches ✔
make that 2 female strippers ✔
in a theater ✔
on the balcony ✔
on the sofa with sexy Jack and his BFF, Ty ✔
missionary position ✘ what were you thinking? Nothing as boring as that!

It's good stuff! Lots of well written sex scenes with a good little story to go with it.

FYI: M-F-M, F-F-F, sex in public, anal sex.

Review: Voyeur


Voyeur
Voyeur by Lacey Alexander

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Imagine being an innocent little "cozy mystery" writer--on a deadline with writers block. That is what Laura is and she is gonna be in a major bind if she doesn't figure out the specifics of her book and quick! Her best friend has a hot wealthy cousin with a vacation home in Vail and she suggests that Laura get away for a while--get some booty and clear her mind so she can meet her deadline.

Well, her little get away opens all sorts of doors to her creativity--mentally and sexually...it all starts with her fantasy of being watched while she masturbates. She thinks it is a fantasy, but she is really being watched by the owner of the house. From there all sorts of interesting activities unfold.

The story line was somewhat predictable, but it was well written, so I didn't mind the predictability.

Review: Make Me, Sir


Make Me, Sir
Make Me, Sir by Cherise Sinclair

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Cherise Sinclair has a wonderful way of combining just the right amount of bondage and domination with romantic elements that appeal to the more "vanilla" reader. I think this is a great series for a reader who is curious about BDSM because it is very light on the edgier side of the scene--humiliation for instance.

This fifth book in the series was quite a bit longer than the others. IMO, [b:Make Me, Sir|9739047|Make Me, Sir (Masters of the Shadowlands, #5)|Cherise Sinclair|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1294916834s/9739047.jpg|14628135] was heavier on the romance between the oh-so-delicious Master Marcus and his stubborn trainee, Gabrielle. I loved that we got a glimpse of the progress of the relationships of the previous Shadowlands D/s. As an aside...and i don't to spoil it for anyone, but I LOVED Master Z's version of getting down on his knee to propose--classic!

I am not sure if this series is getting ready to wrap up, but I got that feeling as Sinclair gave us a lot of closure on past couples. If it is, that makes me sad :-(

Review: Sinful: Epilogue


Sinful: Epilogue
Sinful: Epilogue by Charlotte Featherstone

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Thank Goodness! The epilogue offered the closure I need to make Sinful a 4 star read for me. Featherstone's words are beautiful and truly make even the crudest act seem like art. I was very pleased with the how Jane's life played out. Originally, I was upset that Jane settled on being Matthew's mistress, because, really what security did that give her for her future? Though Matthew offered her promises of living as a true husband and wife--legal or not--with love and passion, who is to say when that bastard Earl of Wallingford would rear his ugly head and leave her high and dry? I just felt that Jane deserved to be more than Matthew's mistress. I love the ultimate ending! Really a fantastic wrap to a great book.

Review: Sinful


Sinful
Sinful by Charlotte Featherstone

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



To say that Matthew, Earl of Wallingford is a rakish, skirt-chasing scoundrel is the understatement of the century.

After chasing the wrong skirt -- seeking a celebratory shag, a most unfortunate incident lands him in the hospital for a prolonged period. During his stay, he falls for Jane, the...well, plain Jane nurse from the wrong side of town who care for and nurses him back to health. Once his health returns, the royal ass returns as well. Honestly, I really despised the handsome but snobby Earl--to say his disposition was prickly would be putting it mildly--at every opportunity, it seemed his mouth spewed venom.

It wasn't until the 2nd half of the book that I embraced the Jekyll and Hyde persona that was Matthew and Earl of Wallingford. Of-course, there is a reason for the way he is...several actually. There was some reference to one early on in the book...I think knowing something terrible happened to him is what saved me from going crazy!

At the end of the book, I felt that Jane settled for less than she deserved. I would encourage everyone who reads this book to read the free epilogue on Featherstone's website. Upon reading the epilogue, I felt the closure I needed and much better about the path Jane chose for her life.

Review: Shadowfever


Shadowfever
Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



As with all the books in this series, I could have used a little more in the romance department...as to be expected in an UF book!

As for a review, well, it was really a fantastic series. I'm gonna have to give it 4 stars because the beginning dragged a little for me, but overall, it was great and the wrap up at the end tied the entire series together nicely. I am going to deviated from my typical review and I'm just going to kind of give my thoughts on the wrap up...

I loved that we saw a bit more emotional attachment on Barrons' part In this final installment of the Fever series...I really need that in order to feel fulfilled. And WOW! Has Mac really changed over the course of the series...I guess saving the world from the clutches of evil can really put things in to perspective for ya huh? I was a bit disappointed that V'laine turned out to be evil because Although I knew he was deceptive and a horny little sex fae, I thought there was some good within him and I liked him :-(. I also really, really hated that V'laine was one of the ones who raped Mac...uh! I hated that! Okay, what was the deal with Moning throwing in the highlanders for a guest appearance? I know she wanted to get in a shout out for her highlanders series, but I felt that it was awkward and I really didn't feel that it fit well with this series...

I may come back later and make this review a little more like a review rather than a stream of thoughts, but I'm not going to make any promises :-). These are my initial thoughts as I just finished it today, I'm gonna mull it over a bit.

Review: Captive in the Dark


Captive in the Dark
Captive in the Dark by CJ Roberts

Synopsis:

Caleb is a man with a singular interest in revenge. Kidnapped as a young boy and sold into slavery by a power-hungry mobster, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. For twelve years he has immersed himself in the world of pleasure slaves searching for the one man he holds ultimately responsible. Finally, the architect of his suffering has emerged with a new identity, but not a new nature. If Caleb is to get close enough to strike, he must become the very thing he abhors and kidnap a beautiful girl to train her to be all that he once was.

Eighteen-year-old Olivia Ruiz has just woken up in a strange place. Blindfolded and bound, there is only a calm male voice to welcome her. His name is Caleb, though he demands to be called Master. Olivia is young, beautiful, naïve and willful to a fault. She has a dark sensuality that cannot be hidden or denied, though she tries to accomplish both. Although she is frightened by the strong, sadistic, and arrogant man who holds her prisoner, what keeps Olivia awake in the dark is her unwelcome attraction to him.

WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, dubious consent, strong language, and graphic violence.

REVIEW:

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Definitely wish I had waited until the conclusion was out to read CAPTIVE IN THE DARK. Dark, dark, dark...loved it, but the last 1/4 of the book kind of didn't fit with the first 3/4 and found that the new path kind of took me out of the story a bit. I enjoyed the book overall though. Reminiscent of Comfort Food, but still has its own unique twist. CAPTIVE IN THE DARK should satisfy those who are fans of the captor/captive theme as well as the more extreme emotional side of the Dominant/submissive roles.

I see that a popular shelf for this book is contemporary romance...do not read this with that genre in mind because you will be in for a shock!

Sexual Heeling by Thalia Frost

Sexual HeelingSexual Heeling by Thalia Frost

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


The premise of this short story is solid, but as SEXUAL HEELING developed, there was just too much going on to feel satisfied when it ended.

Monica, a recent college graduate, is unhappy in her position as the manager at a thrift shoe store. That is until the very sexy Jorge walks into her life, whisking her away from mediocrity and worshiping her tantalizing tootsies. Yes, you guessed it, Jorge has a foot fetish and that is perfect for Monica because she has a shoe fetish - a match made in heaven, right?

The problem I had with SEXUAL HEELING was not the writing or the topic, it was just too rushed - it just didn't feel real to me, everything happened way too quickly for my liking. I would have given this book much higher marks if Jorge and Monica had just had a lunchtime fling and never saw each other again - why did they have to fall in love? No, I just wasn't feeling it.

SEXUAL HEELING packs a lot of sexy in just a few pages, but ultimately stumbles in delivering the goods.
