Review: This was a very strange short story. It did intrigue me though, with its little twist and turns.

 

Frank is a scientist and found himself in a different parallel dimension when an experiment goes wrong. He finds himself in a world where instead of human. He comes across men with scales and forked tongues. Cobra see’s someone he wants for a mate and seduces him. There are similar and not so similar between them but it doesn’t stop them from wanting each other. The sex is hot and very passionate.

 

It is a cute little story but leaves me wanting more. I am not really sure about it though, it was different. It did however catch my attention and kept it till the end. I just wished there was more to it.

But Harbor Oaks hides a dark secret. Carson soon discovers patients are being held against their will. They’re all shape shifters the government fears present a danger to society.

After meeting Tate, a shy, quiet doctor with an agenda all his own, Carson begins to question his own sanity. Carson soon realizes he’s really a subject of the scientist’s experiments, rather than an intern.

Carson knows what’s going on at Harbor Oaks is wrong, but to challenge the hospital’s policies could endanger his own life. More importantly, he could lose Tate forever.

Review: Ana has a pretty good imagination and can spin a wonderful story with it. I was amazed at this story. It caught my attention from the start and kept my attention all the way to the end. I had spent most of my day being bored till I came across this cute little story. It made my day get better, when I can lose myself into a book and can imagine what is going around me. I loved the way Carson and Tate interacted with each other. Carson takes an exclusive summer internship at a private research hospital to earn his Master’s Degree in Psychology. He finds out all of the patients are shape shifters that the government thinks is dangerous.

Tate is a doctor there with a different agenda. Carson starts asking questions and finds out he isn’t there as an intern but as a scientist experiment. Carson starts feeling things for Tate, but how can he keep him and get help for everyone there. What Tate is hiding is important for the changelings best interest. To keep them all alive and safe from those who want to hurt them.

This story has a lot of interesting surprises. I love the twist it has and can’t wait to read more. This is the only thing I really hated, that I was left without a true ending. It keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat. I can’t wait to read book two of this series because I think it will be a hit.

Blurb:  Tia Brooks left her home in Marcus Deleon’s wolf pack out of duty to her own people. As the last female dragon shape shifter, it falls on her to reestablish the species. Her escort, Loren Cole, is taking her to the dragons’ king: Bryn. Tia barely remembers Bryn at all from their time as drakelings, and she certainly never saw Loren before he showed up at Marcus’. Preservation of their kind means mating, which shouldn’t be a problem…except she doesn’t want to be a queen.

When a figure from Loren’s past attempts to quench all chances of their survival, Bryn and Loren chase the enemy into the depths of the earth, desperate to reach Tia before it’s too late

Review:  I haven’t read many stories with dragon shifters so I was pleasantly surprised with this find. I will start off by saying I got a little confused at first and it felt like part of another series, not a first book. So, I did a little research and found it is actually a spin-off of the Dark Reign series. After the first few chapters, it stands alone pretty well. Personally, I wish books that are spun from others series would say so in the front and have reading order and series numbers where they are easy to find.

This book is about Tia, the last female dragon shifter that has been in hiding and Bryn the king of the remaining dragon shifters and his consort and captain of the guards Loren. The story is good, but I found it a little confusing. I can’t say much about why I feel this way without giving spoilers. There was a little mystery but it came and went very fast. I wish it had unfolded much more slowly even if it made the book longer. 

I really loved all the characters. Each held their own personality well. I found the sex very hot. I will warn you that the shifters do shift during sex and have sex in shifted forms. I actually loved this. I found it different and hot.

 

If you’re looking for something different to read and like dragon shifters, mmf ménage, Kings, reluctant queens, and very hot sex with shifted shifters this is for you!

But if Bryan’s less-than-perfect physique doesn’t put off the handsome shifter, then kidnapping, torture, and running for their lives might.

Or it may just be another perfect weekend… perfect for the small Maryland town of Angel Falls.

Review: Well this is one story that had me laughing my ass off. It is a bizarre story though. At first, I thought this would be a story that is not as believable or likable, but my mind was definitely changed. It was a blast to read and I cannot wait to read the next one. It had a mixture of danger and excitement, mixed with lust, sexual fantasies, and hot men loving one another.

Bryan is a funny geek who has major fantasies about Winston. He is so loveable that you want to just hold tight and never let go. Winston is one hot registered nurse who has wanted Bryan from the very beginning. The only thing was he had to get Bryan to believe him. He is a descendant of a sun-god and a caracal shifter who is sweet, gentle, and very hot in bed. You mix them together and you get full fledge heat and lots of major burning of the sheets. Well if there were sheets to burn that is.

I laughed so hard that, for a minute there, I wasn’t sure I was going to stop. When times get really hard you need to just sit down and find something to laugh about. This story will do it. I loved that Stephanie’s stories will do that for you. You want a good laugh, just pick up this story.

Blurb: Demon hunter Skye isn’t terribly stable to begin with, but when he loses his twin sister to a demon swarm, the big bosses decide he needs retraining. Laurent, head trainer for the organization, is assigned to Skye’s case, much to his dismay. The last thing Laurent needs is a crazy berserker to deal with, no matter how hot the man is. He can’t help but admire Skye, though, and working together turns out to be easier than Laurent expects. They’re both determined not to get emotionally involved, but that’s easier said than done, especially when they have to depend on each other to survive.

Can Skye let go of what he’s lost in time to figure out what Laurent can give him?

Review: I have never been a fan of short stories, there has to be a certain way they are written for me to get into them. This story was amazing even if it was too short. I wish there had been more to it, more description but he had a great amount of action and danger. It has a really good story line that once you start reading you get caught. It kept my attention through the whole thing.

Skye was a demon hunter who had lost his twin sister. It had been hard for him to get over it but with the help of Laurent, he manages it. He gets someone to love also. He is strong and has a will that is forceful. He is also loving and tender at times. Laurent is at first temperamental and pretty much a pain in the ass. However, once he meets and gets to know Skye, he knows that he wants to be with him forever. He loves hard and fights for what he wants even harder. The sex between them is gentle and loving with lots of passion.

I was amazed with this story, but wished for more to read. I will definitely be reading it again.

Review: Levi sees Micah happy in a new relationship and secretly wishes he could find one also.  The books start out with one of his clients telling him this is his last visit and that he has met someone. Then is skips to Levi and another ex-escort that has gotten a regular job going out for drinks. Levi senses his friend has an ulterior motive for the visit and finds he wants him to meet his boss Wesley that is looking for a sub. Levi is wary since his last D/s relationship went bad.

I found the story interesting and the sex hot, but there were things that sort of left me hanging. Such as the beginning scene.  We never find out why this client left or anything, that space could have been used to ease Wesley and Levi into a relationship. As it is, everything moves so fast.  It’s hard to see Levi fall so easily into his submissive state and trust Wesley in a day’s time.

I will say, I did enjoy the story. As a matter of fact, I couldn’t stop once I started. Wanting to see where things were leading, and why Levi was afraid of being tied up.  The sex between Levi and Wesley was hot, too. If you like short stories that move fast, Escorts, millionaires, D/s Relationships, bondage and hot mansex this is for you.

Blurb: It’s been nearly a year since Rose and Thorne met and things are going really well. They love their jobs at the tattoo parlor, they’re thinking of spending some time volunteering, and their love is flourishing, in the bedroom and out of it!

Rose is still somewhat hesitant about the things he and Thorne enjoy together, though. He’s been brought up to think that things like spanking during sex are weird. Will Thorne be able to convince him that whatever gets them off together is perfectly normal for them? And if he does, will Rose be able to take the next step — calling Thorne Sir?

Reviewer:   GiGi

Review: It’s a rather soft BDSM tale.

It’s really rather sweet, lots of love, patience and community volunteering. Tattoos and piercings are also a large part of this series. There are parts of this story that move incredibly slow, and parts that seem to skip some subtleties like the piercings. I think that is a major step yet, the actual process, the piercing is quickly glazed over. Hard to believe for me that by book three Rose is still confused about the nature of their relationship, again that seems to be the slow-moving part.

This is a lighthearted read, yes, there is some spanking, and D/s but it’s not heavy. Odd to say this about a BDSM story, but it’s cute.

Review: Preston is planning on heading over to his good friend’s house for her fourth annual Halloween party when he comes across a cat in distress. He rescues the cat and ends up taking it home with him. As soon as he gets home, he finds himself shocked to see the cat having turned into a sexy man who made him both confused and incredibly turned on.

This Hot Flash goes to show what happens when dangerous men trigger a hidden desire. It provides the excellence of an erotic romance and the enjoyment of hidden desire and what it can bring forward.

I’m the kind of person that loves a well-paced erotic story to sweep me away from a long day and this one is perfect for that sort of occasion. I find it to be a fantastic read, a quick one, and well written.

I would certainly recommend this for anyone that loves to read quick stories and become enthralled by an amazing romance during Halloween.

Blurb: Four years ago, our world ended with the lightning fast spread of the wolfman plague. The lucky ones died. Men who survived became something from the Twilight Zone growing larger, stronger, and faster with better senses than we mere humans do. Oh, and aggressive? ‘Roid rage is nothing compared to these guys. They either wanted to kill it, fuck it or eat it, sometimes all three, and not in any particular order.

One of a few immune men, I live in a fortified compound with a couple dozen women, a bunch of kids and two asshole straight guys. Sounds like a man’s wet dream — unless you happen to be the last gay man standing. After a winter locked up with two guys I’ve got nothing in common with, a few dozen lonely women and about a dozen kids, I needed to get away. That’s how I ended up alone in that alley staring death in the face.

I expected to die, not find my future and someone to share it with. Not that it was all wine and roses what with angry wolfmen, militant women, and a threat none of us saw coming.

9647650Review: Book 1 Apocalypse (89 pages, November 1st, 2010) is the perfect beginning to this book. It shows so much strength the humans and in the wolf-men. I found myself enjoying this book a little more than the others. It had a way about it that intrigued me. Daniel is the only gay man in a group of two straight and a bunch of women and children. Fed up with everything at the camp, he goes to the city to get supplies. Mace on the other hand is the alpha of his pack. Pack or rabid is what was left from the disease that ravaged the land. The way Mace feels is tender at times and cold at others. The way Daniel is treated by the others made me just want to shoot them all. The plot is intriguing and surprising. I sat at the edge of my seat through the whole story waiting for the next shoe to drop. The sex is OMG hot. The sex from the others in the pack were wild and passion field with possessive streaks added in. However, the sex between Mace and Daniel is tender and caring. When they are among pack, Mace comes off as cold and not giving a damn which is hurting Daniel. Mace and Daniel actually come off more real to me, their desires and lust just hit you their attraction for each other just bounces off the pages right at you. You just know that they are going to steam the mirrors up when they get together.

 

10527841Book 2 Revelations (94 pages, February 2011) has turned out to be just as good as the first part. Mace lets Daniel know that what he is feeling is close to love. He wants him as his chosen and if he acts like he is mad well it wasn’t at Daniel but at himself. This story adds an intriguing mix into it. Some of Daniels group made it to the city to steal supplies and they get captured. Wanting to stop the killings of the wolf-men who are no danger, well unless you attack them, they try to come to compromise. It doesn’t work out that away but it is a start. This shows the strength of each character and also the fear that humans feel when they come across someone who is different than they are. In this part there is not as much sex in it but what is there is amazing. The need to protect each other shows so much in each one. There is a lot of anger and fear for the unknown but a lot of love and tenderness also.

 

11244706Book 3 Judgment (94 pages, July 4th, 2011) is about as hot as the first book. Mace and Daniel’s feelings are getting stronger and you just shiver when you read the hot spots. I think that the shivering is more about what you read between the lines though. You can tell that there is so much love between them even if they haven’t figured that part out. While they had been at Daniel’s old compound,

Mace’s pack had lost all formation and needed their alpha back. It seems with each story, more characters show up. Each one with a story of their own. Daniel’s strength has made a lot of headway in Mace’s pack.

 

12660097Book 4 Salvation (91 pages, September 16th, 2011) is exactly what it sounds like. Daniel’s salvation. Daniel has a past of so much pain and fear, that it is now coming out in full force. To know someone who has so much pain and fear makes me think deep and hard. Mace’s love for Daniel comes out in this story. This story alone makes me sit down on the floor and just re-read it over and over again. The feelings between each character is so strong that you think it would come out of the book and just grab you by the heart.

 

13037277Book 5 Genesis (94 pages November 10th, 2011) is as it sounds the comings to an end. Daniel and Mace’s love is coming out more and more with each day’s passing. The story line and plot make this story an excellent read. The characters just pop out at you with each read. I liked the characters. They were very realistic in the way they felt things. Their tender sides, the pain they felt and how protective they are of their families. They are overcoming such hard times, being changed from human to werewolf and not being able to stop it. They are fighting to keep their humanity and trying to save what is theirs. I think that this series is one hell of a great read and will love having it in my library so that I may re-read it when I want.

Blurb: Jack is about to have a wonderful and wild furry feeling.

When an experiment goes wrong, separating two scientists and sending them into a parallel dimension, Jack is stalked by something otherworldly… part man and part beast, with claws, and teeth, and tongue.

No one told Jack getting lost in the wilds could be wonderful.

Review:  Blasted into a parallel dimension, Jack finds himself faced with a most basic yet generally unmentioned concern when one reads about Shifters. We are able to understand what he is thinking. This is NOT waking up to find the new fluffy kitty playfully licking and swiping at an exposed nipple.  No.  This is enormous beastie is taste testing, Jack who has passed out after being unable to run any further. 

I loves me a good ‘Lo-assist Innn Sspaaaccce’ story and Rayven Renshaw’s Wild and Wonderful does not disappoint.  This flash commute readable story quickly puts us inside Jack’s head as he is being pursued.  His clothes disintegrating, running for his life, and alone in an alternate dimension, Jack has no idea how much time he has left.

Happily, the communication between the characters is fresh and not the norm – something that too many writers overlook. (I mean, someone eventually turns on the Enterprise’s translator; the TARDIS has a built-in translator that she’d share with her welcomed travellers; and, of course, let’s not forget the Babel fish. LOL) The communication between the characters is translation off.  Luckily for Jack he is a smart lad with some pretty great inspiration.

Renshaw keeps the balance between weird ‘All knowing moments’ for readers when we know more than the main character does and the moments when we as readers are not quite sure what to expect next.   Wild and Wonderful is well worth the read – and more than a bit of a tease. ~;p

Mr. Daniel Hart, a client who had been expecting a female host is suddenly thrown into Micah’s world and won’t stop exploring until he knows Micah’s secrets.

Unable to stay away from Daniel, Micah continues to return to high society functions and is therefore reminded of the terrible scar on his chest and the man who gave it to him. Micah wants nothing more than to belong to the artistic Daniel, but being with him could mean having to face his dangerous past.

Review: Micah is a paid escort. He is hired to accompany Mr Hart. The blurb pretty much says all I can without giving spoilers.

I truly hate to say I didn’t care much for this story. The blurb sounded good and I had good expectations at least for a good love story. I was sadly disappointed.  I didn’t feel that the story was consistent at all. It starts out with Micah on a paid job and a client wanting to have sex. Micah says he doesn’t do that and doesn’t. The client wants to see him again and Micah says no. The next day he is sent on a date by the agency and the man Mr Hart, sees him and is surprised he expected a girl but  doesn’t seem to mind at all, they get in the limo and  end up doing blow jobs in the  limo,. Ok, so there goes his not putting out for clients and he had said he hasn’t had sex in a long time. Both people are head-over heels. Already and they barely spoke? Even most insta-love there is a bit more to it. Then there is his ominous past. This eluded me to a mystery. All I will say is I was once again let down. There are several more inconsistencies and contradictions galore, but I won’t give away the entire story.

If you like, stories of paid escorts, artists, art shows, hot sex and love at first sight you may like this.

Blurb: When Nickolaus Brevin, the son of the highest ranking politician in the Protectorate, escapes into the city’s streets for temporary sanctuary from his father despite the danger, little does he anticipate being kidnapped by one of the rebel forces. Taken to their leader he foresees torture or death, not falling for the enigmatic Melic — a man who orders him to give the performance of his life, for his life. Not that the sexual encounter is exactly force when it brings long-denied desires alive.

What looks to be an act of humiliation is the only way Melic can think of staking a claim to the man he’s instantly recognized — a claim that may give both men what they seek, and make them feel whole by giving in to their natural inclinations.

What Nickolaus chooses to do, could belief or death for them both.

I really liked this story. With it being so short the scene was very intriguing. I have to say I wold have loved to know more about the protectorate, and the Rebels, but there was enough information to get a good feel of the story and make you want more. It was very hot and sexy.

Blurb: To lure his rebellious blood children back into the fold, ancient vampire Tarun abducted the hunter Adrian. He hadn’t bargained on his human prisoner being a match for him in every way — including his darkest desires.

Now, Tarun is the captive and a player in Adrian’s carnal game — an orgasm for an answer. Though Tarun warns Adrian that he won’t like what he hears, the hunter is determined to uncover the secrets of the vampire’s twisted past.

Product Link: http://changelingpress.com/product.php?&upt=book&ubid=2104

Review: This book is part of a series best read in order.

Book #5 in the Weapons of Redemption series follows Tarun’s story. Three thousand years of hidden secrets. Three thousand years of doing, everything he swore not to. The thousand years of guilt. This is the time for Tarun to finally complete his destiny or crash along with it.

While the success of his plan is fifty-fifty, Tarun never even for a moment thought that he might find an ally, lest a lover in one of his captives. Adrian proves him wrong when not only he doesn’t leave him after being offered his freedom, but also he helps him and saves him from his Blood Sons.

However, Adrian’s loyalty does not come cheap. He requires answers and he will go to great lengths to get them.

So when you read the blurb for this story you automatically think that you’ll be reading some sort of sexual “torture,” perhaps orgasm controlling techniques and bondage. Mine did. Sadly, while the author tries to approach that level of kink, it fails horribly. The narration doesn’t help as it is quite bland leaving us with no connection whatsoever with the characters. The characters themselves are supposed to be falling, or already in love with each other, yet those emotions are lost in the blandness of the prose. The BDSM scenes, which usually when properly written are quite mind-blowing, in this case held nothing of the magic that surrounds them. The bonding, the wanting, the needing, and longing were absent, making this one empty and shallow read. The erotic romance this novella was supposed to be lacked eroticism. The romance itself was the most cliché one I’ve read. The blood and fight that one comes to expect were absent too, so what was there left?

The only thing that kept me reading was the background storyline and the secret Tarun had to reveal. That was one good premise to build a story upon, even if said story failed to appeal. It was nice though to see closure for this series, Tarun deserved that much.

Blurb:Eight men, four public venues, tons of hot action.

Whether it’s a dark movie theater or a snow-covered park, these men have a thing for sex in public places. In “Opposites Attract” a long-haired rocker finds himself the object of a jock’s affection in the middle of a movie theater. “Starting Over” for one man leads to hot chocolate and the best blowjob of his life in a snowy park. A Dom puts his beloved sub through sweet pain in “Birthday for a Slave.” And finally, two sword-fighting instructors give in to their mutual attraction during a RenFaire in “Faire Game.”

The four stories in this collection were previously published under the name Kay Derwydd. They have been re-edited for release in this collection.

Review:Public Displays of Affection is a short story collection of four stories centered on public sex.
Birthday for a slave
it’s Lucas birthday and his Dom Kynan has a special, erotic treat planned for him. 
This is very good, very hot, very sexy, story of D’s relationship. The public sex in a crowded club is extremely sexy.

Opposites Attract
Eric has to live in a dorm this semester and his roommate Russ has a handsome brother that lives in the Frat house. Eric has never been with a jock. His roommate Russ says his brother Carson likes him and also likes public sex. Their first night together they have hot sex in a movie theater.

Starting over
Chris is stood up by Justin, again, on Christmas Eve. This time Justin dumps Chris. Michael sees the argument and brings Chris hot chocolate. What happens next is hot enough melt the snow. You will have to read the book to see for yourself. It’s HOT!

Faire Game
Cory and Jason are sparring at the renaissance Faire and the swordplay gets really sexy.

I recommend this book to anyone that likes a good collection of smoking hot short stories and of course public displays of affection. (Sorry I couldn’t resist.)

Blurb: Luke Jackson has been hot for his boss since the day he started work. When he’s offered the chance to win a promotion, he has no idea what his boss expects in return until he finds himself on his knees in his boss’s office. For Luke, his promotion doesn’t just come with better pay but also the fulfillment of all his submissive desires.

Review: A hot sexy short that will raise your blood pressure. Can’t tell you much about this one as it’s too short but Luke definitely gets just what he wants and it is definitely going to make you hot under the collar as he fulfils a fantasy that I think many of us have had.

An incredibly hot story for the amount of pages, some D/s nothing too heavy though and I have got to say an incredibly horny making book, no love or romance or even a HEA just pure want, need and sex.

This is for those of us..er..I mean you that want a quick sex fix that will have you hot and horny in just a few minutes.
