Protection by S.A. Reid /T. Baggins

Protection by S.A. Reid /T. Baggins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


My initial reaction about PROTECTION was WOW! After taking a breather before writing my review, my reaction is still WOW! It was a first read by this author, S.A. Reid and it definitely will not be my last. My expectation was for it to be a very rough and dark look into the sexual prowess and power of men in the prison system - well; I got that and so much more.

PROTECTION is a story of survival and the price one must pay for protection in the 1930's prison system. We are introduced to Gabriel, the straight, badass, street smart prisoner serving two life sentences - he is someone you would definitely want on your side if confined within the Wentworth Prison walls. Then there is the innocent, Oxford trained physician named Joey. Joey is like a piece of fresh meat to a starving pack of wolves and is destined to be somebody's "bitch" thanks mostly in part to his good looks and mild manner. Although Gabriel has sworn to never be "prison queer", something about Joey stirs his protective instincts and sexual desires unlike any other male ever has. So, from the second Gabriel lays eyes on Joey, their seductive and tragic story begins.

The story told is a little dark, but not as much as I had anticipated it to be - It is emotional and exciting and overall, really fantastic! I loved it even more than I expected!



This story contains the following elements: m/m and non-con - so if you have an aversion to either of those, then you should steer clear of this read.

Something Different by S.A. Reid /T.BAGGINS

Something Different by S.A. Reid/T.BAGGINS

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


SOMETHING DIFFERENT is the second book I have read by S.A. Reid and she really has a special talent for lightening up the darkest of tales. Ms. Reid has a unique voice telling stories that you can't help but get sucked into.

The tale she tells is a common one of a man unsatisfied with his life...existing in a fog of mediocrity from day to day until he finally succumbs to his desires and seeks some sexual relief and gratification in the form of a prostitute. What he finds is so much greater than he could have ever imagined. Michael ventures out in search of his own PRETTY WOMAN, but ends up with a young man who ultimately rocks his world - physically and emotionally.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT isn't all lightness and sweet, though there are parts that are, it is a little dark and sad - it's an emotional read. The story really delves into how Michael's actions affect his family life, his work life and his overall state of mind. When he finds his "something different" it truly changes his life. I was actually surprised at the turn of events and loved how the secondary character stories played out.

Check out SOMETHING DIFFERENT for a wonderful story that will make you second-guess your preconceived notions about prostitutes and cheaters - it will take you on a bit of an emotional roller coaster, but ultimately leave you feeling happy about the journey.



ETA...Just read that this is a self-published book which is even more impressive as it is very well edited - more so than many professionally edited books I have read.

Damaged Goods by Lauren Gallagher

Damaged Goods by Lauren Gallagher

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


DAMAGED GOODS is a solid five star read. It's chocked full of the emotion you long for when reading a great romance and the steam you expect from any naughty little erotica.

So you have undoubtedly read the description of DAMAGED GOODS and you know that this is a story about a lonely single mother named Jocelyn who hires an escort to fulfill her fantasies for a night...or at least that was the original plan. I saw her emotional attachment to the man coming from a mile away... How could you not become emotionally attached to someone who is fulfilling your desires and meeting needs that haven't truly ever been met? I would say that it is nearly impossible to keep your heart out of it.

DAMAGED GOODS addresses the social stigma attached to being a prostitute and dating one - these were, of course, of no surprise to me. One point that was brought up, however that made me look at this scenario a little differently though is this: what is the difference between a woman who pays for an escort - meaning time, company and possibly sex and a woman who goes on a date with a man in return for a nice dinner, date, an expensive flower arrangement and possibly a piece of jewelry and maybe a little action? Something to think about!

If you are in the mood for a great story that's full of emotion and hot scenes, then look no further than DAMAGED GOODS .

The King's Pleasure by Kitty Thomas

The King's Pleasure by Kitty Thomas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow! Another spectacular showing from Kitty Thomas - she truly is a master at weaving a wicked story that leaves you pondering the lives of her characters long after you have read the final page.

THE KINGS PLEASURE is a fantastically sexy and erotic tale of a young and beautiful gypsy thief named Abigail who is caught stealing and as punishment, is forced to serve her time as the new King's slave. The young king is determined to rule his kingdom differently than the previous king, his father, in what could possibly be likened to a reign of terror.

King Niall hatches a plan that is sure to change the future of his country while making an example of the beautiful young thief. As the story is told, her position as the King's slave doesn't appear to be much of a hardship - in fact, as his first chosen slave, her position is a very prestigious position for any woman to be in, much less a poor gypsy girl. The first chosen slave is much like the position of Queens in other countries - making her the envy of all the formally trained women who have been groomed to satisfy the king in all his desires. As the first chosen, Abigail has a number of obstacles to face, but to compound matters even more, she is despised because of her gypsy heritage - then, throw in the fact that she must be schooled by the King in the ways of the flesh and her role as a slave and you have a delicious recipe for a racy read.

If you are a fan of Kitty Thomas, you will not be disappointed with this story. Leave it to Ms. Thomas to blur the lines of fantasy and reality in a sensational combination of BDSM elements and a solid story resulting in a great read!
