Damaged Goods by Lauren Gallagher

Damaged GoodsDamaged 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 .

Bordello Secrets by Heather Whittington

Bordello SecretsBordello Secrets by Heather Whittington

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Whoa! Something fishy is definitely going on at the Bordello and I was very intrigued to know exactly what it was!


The elusive Master of the bordello is hiding something...something big. The ladies of the night, his ladies, never dare to question why they never remember the nights they spend in his company and his bed. When the new girl, Marie, is told of the mysterious ways of the Master, she is determined to get to the bottom of the big mystery.

For a quick, 32 page read, there sure was a lot going on, but it didn't feel at all rushed. I would have enjoyed reading a bit more about Marie and Master after the big secret is revealed, but the story felt complete as it was.

Hired by Lily Harlem

Hired (Hot Ice, #1)Hired by Lily Harlem

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


My mother always told me that no lie is a "good" lie...not even a little white lie because they always come back to bite you on the butt!

Brooke wants nothing more than to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a nurse, but even without the added expense of nursing school, she is struggling just to pay her bills. When she is presented an opportunity that could make her dreams come true, how could she possibly pass that up? All she has to do is keep the bad boy of hockey company while she catches a few rays and studies for the nursing exam. That doesn't sound too bad, right? AND she gets paid a load of cash to do it...that's a no-brainer!

Brooke and "Bad Boy" Logan are just about as different as two people can be. She is luscious with soft curves and he is hard and cut angles. She is nurturing and he is destructive. She is unsure of herself and he is confident. She is eccentric and he operates in what most would consider a more "normal" fashion. Of course, wouldn't you know -- that is the perfect combination of ingredients for a passionate affair, IF the lie that Logan doesn't even know exists doesn't tear them apart.

I loved the chemistry between Brooke and Logan. His commanding presence and dominance was expected, but the kind and gentle side he shares with Brooke was very sexy and an oh-so pleasant surprise. It made my heart pound from passion and anxiety. Then it calmed me with the sweet tenderness and loving adoration between Brooke and Logan.


If you are looking for a book that's guaranteed to evoke a variety of emotions from start to finish, this would be a great choice!
