Review: Insufferable Proximity

Insufferable Proximity by Z. Stefani

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Raise your hand if you like angry, passionate sex with the enemy. Well, maybe not in real life, but in the land of Erotica, it makes for some really smokin’ hot scenes! INSUFFERABLE PROXIMITY has all that and more!

When it comes to playing the field, Julian King has the market cornered – he effortlessly reels in a lot of spectacular tail on a very regular basis. He’s a big-wig lawyer with an even bigger ego and is accustomed to getting what he wants, when he wants it.

Enter mortal enemy and equally talented attorney, Heaven Deville. They are both in the running for partnership, but Heaven would do just about anything to prevent Julian from winning. Blinded by the need to win, Heaven has a momentary lapse in judgment making a fatal mistake that could cause her to lose everything she has worked so hard to accomplish.

The very kind and generous Julian *snicker* offers her a choice: he can turn her in and she will lose everything or she can turn herself over to him to do with as he pleases for the next 30 days. Decisions, decisions… Well, doesn’t seem like much of a choice if you ask me, but shockingly, Heaven mentally debates the matter and the competitor within her accepts the challenge confident that she can somehow outwit the competition once again.

INSUFFERABLE PROXIMITY was spectacular, especially if you love the sparring between two characters who are so obviously meant for each other but fight the attraction to the very last second. Seeing these two characters transform and bend to the other was extremely entertaining and oh-so hot! You have got to pick this up if you love a dominant hero and a strong-willed and feisty heroine.

NOTE: Self-Published indicates no “professional editing” has occurred. With the exception of some grammatical and spelling errors, author, Z. Stefani has done a great job of giving the reader a lovely finished product. I know some of you take off stars for editing errors, so I thought this was worth mentioning - if the story is appealing to you, please don’t let this deter you from snatching it up – the story is amazing. I can almost guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Review: All She Ever Wanted

All She Ever Wanted by Rosalind Noonan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



What happens when all you have ever wanted is a baby to make your family complete, then when that little bundle of joy arrives, all you can think about is getting as far away from the baby as you can?

ALL SHE EVER WANTED is a heart-breaking tale of a new mother suffering from postpartum depression. Chelsea Maynard was a firecracker in her former life…her life before motherhood. She had a sense of self-worth before the days of total exhaustion and dread due to being the primary caregiver to a screaming, colicky baby. She had a sense of purpose before the darkness consumed her every waking moment.

Chelsea knows she is not behaving as a normal healthy new mother should behave, but her pleas for help fall on deaf ears. To say that witnessing her despair and downward spiral is gut wrenching is a colossal understatement. Finally, when her worst nightmare as a parent becomes her reality, she begins to doubt her own mental stability and the lines between the dark thoughts in her head and actuality begin to blur and she cannot discern fact from fiction.

ALL SHE EVER WANTED is an unabashed glimpse into the mind of a woman suffering from severe depression following the birth of her child. This story will stay with you long after the final page is read and will leave you guessing until the very end. If you are searching for an emotional read, then look no further, because this is it!

Review: Making Him Sweat

Making Him Sweat by Meg Maguire

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



What happens when the world as you once knew it comes crashing down around you and everything you thought was true about your life turns out to be a big-fat lie?

Jenna Wilinski is a romantic at heart. She is awesome at pairing up perfect love matches for everyone around her, but when it comes to her own love life…not so fantastic. When her estranged father suddenly passes away, she inherits the bedraggled old boxing club that he made into a home for many wayward boys and up and coming fighters, immediately, she knows this is her golden opportunity to fulfill her life long dream of becoming a professional matchmaker. Without much thought, she sets her plans in motion to close the gym and give the site a facelift worthy of an upscale match-making business. What she doesn’t count on is being punched in the gut by a strong case of lust when she first lays eyes on former pro-boxer turned boxing coach, Mercer Rowley.

Determined to make her dreams come true, Jenna dons her boxing gloves and intends to rumble with any of the rugged, sweaty male members of the club who attempt to sway her opinion – no matter how charming or sexy they may be. Well, you know what they say: ”the road to hell was paved with good intentions.” When Jenna finally removes the blinders for a moment, she catches a glimpse of what the gym and her father was really all about and begins to see the unrefined and sometimes intimidating fighters in a totally different light.

MAKING HIM SWEAT is the first installment in what I anticipate being a very popular, contemporary romance series. The characters are fantastic! Every last one of them will tug at even the most resistant heartstrings. Go ahead - snatch it up! If you enjoy a good story with a little sport theme thrown in and great chemistry among the characters, I can guarantee you will not be disappointed

Review: Witness Protection

Witness Protection by Bec Botefuhr

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



WITNESS PROTECTION is a super sexy psychological thriller that will leave you on the edge and of your seat panting for more!

When Maya Traydon sets out for her journey home one night, it ends up far from being a normal night as she ends up being witness to a murder being performed by a sadistic serial killer. In fear for her life and the safety of her loved ones, she agrees to go into a modified witness protection program – finding herself in a house where her protectors, Ryder and Nate, are hot, hunky and exuding so much sex appeal that she doesn’t know which will be the source of her downfall, the killer or the stifling pheromones oozing from the pores of her protectors.

While Nate plays good cop offering the comfort and sweetness she craves, Ryder is the bad boy who shocks her with his kinky dominant persona and oh-so-wicked ways awakening the sexual desires she didn’t know she possessed. As the killer gets closer to Maya, the intensity of the story revves up a few notches and everyone’s protective instincts kick in resulting in a satisfying and exciting conclusion.

WITNESS PROTECTION will definitely be going on my “new favorites” list! I can’t wait to see more stories like this by author Bec Botefuhr - I will most certainly be checking out some of her other stories. You may have picked this one up for free in December 2012, I didn’t, but I was fortunate enough to snag it on Amazon for free as a prime member – if these aren’t options for you, then it’s definitely worth the $2.99 digital price! Enjoy!

Review: Above the Dungeon

Above the Dungeon by SM Johnson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I loved the complicated dynamics between the characters in ABOVE THE DUNGEON - they have a very unique and non-traditional sexual relationship. For the most part, I liked all the characters, but Jeff's character was really working my nerves with his self-absorbed attitude and selfish persona.

I am looking forward to checking out the second installment - I am under the impression that it is very different from this first book.

Review: Love on the Rocks

Love on the Rocks by Kara Leigh Miller

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



At The Aurora Island Resort something magical taints the tropical air, especially for those visitors who are most resistant to love.
LOVE ON THE ROCKS is the second book in the sexy series set on a beautiful and secluded island that is apparently infested with “love bugs” and once they sink their teeth in, you’re a goner.
Meghan MaCayan can’t wait for her two-week all-expense paid vacation to the beautiful resort to attend her best friend’s wedding. The only problem is, she’s knows her friend’s brother, Jeff will be attending the ceremony as well – he crushed her heart many years ago and she is determined to pull out all the stops to protect her fragile heart from breaking all over again.

Heartbreaker, Jeff is determined to conquer the heart of the only woman he has ever loved and makes quick work of tearing down that protective wall Meghan has built around her heart.

LOVE ON THE ROCKS can be read as a stand alone, but I would recommend reading the first book in the series to really get to know the characters that have a recurring role in this second installment. If you are looking for a little sweet and sexy quickie, then this is one story you have got to add to your collection!

Review: Rule

Rule by Jay Crownover

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Hot Damn! Rule is a deliciously bad, bad boy! Sweet Shaw is a good little rich girl trying hard to please everyone but herself. So, what sweet girl doesn't like the idea of a bad boy? What happend when that "idea" turns into reality? I will tell you exactly what happens... a whole lotta hotness!

Shaw Landon has been in love with Rule Archer FOREVER! She's been drooling over him inside, but hides her lust behind the disgusted scowl she wears on her face when around him. When she finally decides to take the mask off, the questions start flying. Her explanation to her friend about their budding relationship is "it's complicated" - Ha! That is the understatement of the century! Her friend sums it up way better than I ever could have:

"Oh honey when they look like that and exude that kind of do-me, do-me it always will be."

Yeah, it's complicated, but it is sexy and fun. Along with all the ink on his body and metal in his face and *ahem* err... other places, comes the bad boy attitude and type of dominance and possessiveness that makes other boys definitely NOT want to fuck with his woman!

He thinks being in Shaw's life for good means he has to clean up his act, but what she really wants is the man she has loved her entire life. Being good is tough and being bad comes easy for Rule.

" ...I’ve been minding all my p’s and q’s and let me tell ya I had no idea how many of those little fuckers there were..."

Get it, because it is a fun and sexy ready and loved it down to the last page!

Review: The Love of My (Other) Life

The Love of My (Other) Life by Traci L. Slatton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE is a classic example of why you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover!

A fair comparison would be picking up a glass and chugging what you think is water only to find that it’s vodka! The cover makes me think “erotic, ” but what you really get is a sweet romance with an interesting storyline – although the lack of steam was surprising, it was enjoyable all the same. I was also please to find there is actually a reason behind such an erotic cover for a book that is more romantic in nature.

When starving artist, Tessa Barnum is initially approached by the crazy homeless man claiming they are married in an alternate universe, she does what any sane person would do: she runs away as fast as her feet can carry her! The scruffy looking Brian Tennyson cannot be so easily deterred as there are many reasons he has traversed hyperspace and defied the laws of nature, so he continues on in a persistent manner until he finally grabs her attention.

I was convinced I knew how THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE would end, but surprise, surprise! I was wrong! If you like the idea of another “you” existing in a parallel universe, a little mystery and some romance weaved into a good story, then THE LOVE OF MY (OTHER) LIFE will be a treat to read.

Review: The Nightlife: Las Vegas

The Nightlife: Las Vegas by Travis Luedke

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Drama, action and lots of pleasure, that’s what THE NIGHTLIFE: LAS VEGAS is all about!

THE NIGHTLIFE: LAS VEGAS picks up where the first book in the series, THE NIGHTLIFE: NEW YORK leaves off in a continuation of the story of Vampire Master, Michelle and her loyal, but disobedient side-kick and vampire servant, Aaron. Who ever said ‘all things in moderation’ didn’t know what they were talking about, but we’re talking about Vegas baby and for Michelle and Aaron’s sake, I really hope ‘what happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas’ or else the rest of their long lives are doomed!

Remembering how poorly she was treated by her Vampire Master, Michelle lets a lot of things slide with Aaron in an effort to not control him, but her hesitance to pull the choke chain lands them in a heap of trouble when a third lover named Anastasia is added to mix, as a human bloodslave. Once things begin to spiral out of control, their weak human pet just adds another hassle they do not need in their crazy effed-up lives. I wasn’t a fan of Anastasia’s story line. I thought she was weak and a bit whiney, but Michelle is a dominant female, so, I suppose having 2 kick-ass, strong-willed heroines wouldn’t have been as interesting and the damsel in distress is appealing to many.

This installment of THE NIGHTLIFE series has a totally different vibe when compared to books 1 and 3 – yes, I skipped around, but you will definitely want to read THE NIGHTLIFE: NEW YORK before reading this second book. Though I was disappointed with the path Michelle’s character followed, I still loved this dynamic-duo as a whole. Staying true to the author’s description, THE NIGHTLIFE: LAS VEGAS is reminiscent of “The Hangover” and “True Blood” and definitely never boring.

If paranormal reads of the vampire variety get you going, then you definitely have to read THE NIGHTLIFE series – I can guarantee you will not be bored!
