Gray’s Shadow

(Kings of Hell MC 04)
by

K.A. Merikan

— There can be no shadow without the man to cast it. —

Gray. Lost his twin. Will never be complete. Works alone.
Shadow. Monster? Human? Exists to be Gray’s one true companion.

After losing his twin brother, Gray has devoted his life to the Kings of Hell MC. He will do anything to protect his family and that means anything.

Even sell his own shadow to the devil.

Following a fire that left him without one arm, Gray feels pushed to the sidelines. In order to prove to his club that he is still capable of completing dangerous tasks, he will have to team up with the strange creature from the Other Side. Tall, inhumanly strong, and menacing despite the handsome exterior, Shadow is just the tool Gray needs.

The moment Shadow lays his eyes on Gray, he wants to crawl under Gray’s skin and make the human his.

Gray on the other hand isn’t willing to get attached to a monster destined to do the devil’s bidding and disappear once his time is up. Rejected, Shadow has to do everything in his power to convince his human that they belong together.

But as the clock ticks away precious minutes of Shadow’s existence, Gray will have to choose between his loyalty to the Kings of Hell MC and responsibility for the creature he brought into this world.

Blurb: Dawson Thomas is a rent boy, a young man who goes out hoping to impress a man who’ll pay him to be a submissive for a kinky night together. One night he accompanies a friend to a BDSM club in New York. Raw Hide is a place where men gather to live out their fantasies and Dawson can’t believe his good luck when the owner invites him upstairs to be paid for a night of kink. When others whisper that the man is hideously deformed, calling him “The Monster”, Dawson remembers the cost of his tuition and puts aside his fears, accompanying the bodyguard to the man’s apartment.

Each night, Cole Chambliss paces in his rooms above Raw Hide, watching beautiful submissives give themselves to their Doms, just a few steps down the stairs. Cole longs for days past when he could go out in public… when no one would stare at him in horror. After paying a bitter price when fighting for his country, Cole knows his days of walking among whole men are gone forever… that is until one night he takes a risk that terrifies him. The stunning submissive who’s caught his eye is something extraordinary and Cole decides he must chance everything for one last shot at happiness.

One dark night, one desperate risk, and one horrifying request later, Cole hears the words he’s feared since his return from the war. “Say my name, Sir… please just… say my name…”

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Cole is the owner of Raw Hide, a club where men socialize and meet up to act out their fantasies. Cole secretly yearns for a submissive but due to the scars he obtained while in the military he hides out watching scenes play out. Enter Dawson, cute rent boy looking for a Dom to pay for his service. When Cole invites him up things heat up.

I loved this story. Cole’s scars cause him to be self conscience, which I understood. But hiding in the shadows is no way to live and I was glad he took a chance with Dawson. This story about Dawson and Cole was good. The secondary characters added to the mix as a way to set up future books in the series.

All in all it was an enjoyable read with plenty of sexy times and drama that added character to the story.

Dark City

(The Syndicate 01)
by

Sarah Kay Moll

Jude has a tender heart. Yet he was born into a criminal empire and groomed from childhood to step into his father’s violent footsteps. To survive, he created a second personality. Ras is everything Jude isn’t—cruel, remorseless, and utterly without fear, as incapable of love as Jude is of malice.

But when Ras meets a ruthless socialite, he begins to feel a strange stirring of emotion, a brush of Jude’s passion against his own dark heart. Meanwhile, Jude finds himself with a knife in his hand, the evil in Ras’s soul bleeding into his own.

As the walls between them crumble, they could lose everything—their lovers, their family, and their hold on the dark city itself.

Coming together could break them…or make them whole.

Series: The Retreat 01

Genre: BDSM, Contemporary

Length: Novella (151pgs)

Publisher: Pride Publishing (24th July 2018)

Heat Level: Moderate

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 4.75 Hearts

Blurb: An escape from the real world can only ever be temporary.

Rowan Stanton knows he is submissive. He loves to look after people but the country hotel he works at can’t quite fulfill his need to serve. When he succeeds at getting a new role as houseboy at The Retreat, an exclusive BDSM hideaway in the New Forest, he believes it’s his dream job. Inexperienced in many ways, he soon realizes he’s not as prepared as he thought for the demands placed upon him.

Lorcan Wilder is young, rich and successful. He’s also haunted by nightmares and has sacrificed a decade to his business. Selling it gives him the freedom to explore his Dominant side and four weeks at The Retreat are the start of a new life. He doesn’t expect the young submissive employed to serve him will have such a profound effect on him. Exploring and pushing Rowan’s boundaries is exactly what Lorcan needs to separate himself from his past.

Lorcan makes full use of The Retreat’s facilities, from the genuine dungeon to the secret toys concealed in every room. He rediscovers his energy for life and gradually re-engages with the world. However, his efforts to compartmentalize the past ultimately fail and he comes to realize what he’s always known—that true submissives have an inner strength he can only envy.

By the end of his stay, Lorcan can’t let Rowan go, though he thinks he must. What will convince him that he’s allowed a happy ever after, and will he find the courage to accept it?

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Rowan gets his dream job at an exclusive BDSM retreat where he is able to put his submissive side to good use helping dominants. Lorcan decides on a long retreat after selling his business.

When Rowan and Lorcan meet the pages do not seem big enough to contain the sparks and passion between these two as they get to know each other better.

I liked the atmosphere of the story and the struggles that the characters are going through as they traverse their new lives. The actual retreat was breathtaking and very isolated. I did notice that this series seems similar to Tales From the edge which was a great series.

Overall this story was a beautiful start to the series. Awesome read.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Aliens have landed on Earth over a thousand years ago and were the ones that created the fable of vampires. Stronger, faster, and of course the drinking of blood is just a bit of what the guys have going for them. I should say they crashed instead of just landed on it, but then again newbies shouldn’t be trusted with something so very much needed as navigation. Alex and his men were now stuck on this blasted planet and needed to work around it. To bad half his crew didn’t agree and seperated. So you have a group that is good and a group that is bad, so very overused I would say.

Quinn had finally came out to his parents and what did his honesty get him, a boot out of his home. He needed food, a place to stay so being a gogo dancer is looking better each time he thinks about it. All looks good till the owner decides he wants him. Which puts him into the site of well you can guess.

First off this book was just way to long to stick with it. To much added story that was not needed. The characters were hard to connect with, well with the exception of our Quinn and Mackie. It starts off like you are in the middle of the story instead of the beginning which didn’t really do it any favor. It took longer to get involved into the story and by the ending I had been wishing I stopped reading. The book was pretty much like so many others out there that there was no fresh idea to it. Aliens who are pretty much vampires who crashed landed in Romania and well it just didn’t work for me.

Then there was the whole hive way of thinking and being led by a queen, no thanks just sounded like a bunch of worker bees. Now the story did have a good plot going on, and the world was different, but it bombed on me with all the extra added crap put into it. I think had it started out a bit different and not coming into feeling like I came into the middle would have been a better deal.

So for this book and possibly the rest of the series, it is not for me. However I will wait to see if book two gets better before totally giving in. Less of the dark tone and more fun is needed.

Wicked Deeds by Shea Balik

Title: Wicked Deeds

Series: Syn’s Playground 02

Author: Shea Balik

Genre: Contemporary, BDSM

Length: Novella (125 Pages)

Publisher: Siren Publishing (April 11, 2018)

Heat Level: Moderate

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥ 5 Hearts

Blurb: Heartbroken after another sub had cheated on him, Kent “Wicked” Fields had decided to give up on finding that one sub to build a future with. He should have known fate would screw with him the first time he hooked up with a sub and not let him ignore the sweet heat that could be found in the cute little waiter.

Adam “Butsy” Butts found himself once more tossed away like yesterday’s garbage by the new bouncer. What he didn’t understand was why. Maybe his ex was right, and Butsy was bad in bed. If only he could forget what it felt like to be held by the man of his dreams. It would be difficult, but Butsy feared it was time to face facts. He was meant to be alone.

But happily ever after would be around the corner if Syn has anything to say about it.

Warning: Wicked Deeds abounds when Syn becomes involved.

ISBN: 978-1-64243-101-8

Product Link: Siren-BookStrand | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Syn’s Playground collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. This is a branch off of the Cedar Falls collection.

When I read book one in the Cedar Falls collection, I knew right then that Shea Balik was going to be one of my top favorite author of all time. The worlds she creates are unique, fresh, tempting, sexy and damn hot. I love how the characters in this one each have a past that is a bit painful, but they seem to never give up in the end.

This story caught my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I never was one who liked reading about BDSM, but for some reason this author just writes about it in a way that captivates me. Very tasteful and tantilizing is the words I would use I suppose.

Adam was just wanting to make sure he never had to move back home. He was making just enough to pay his rent and maybe eat throughout the week. He was a waiter at Syn’s Playground and actually enjoyed it. He didn’t have the best luck with guys, but damn if the bouncer didn’t do it for him.

Wicked had came close to claiming his sub and even possibly thinking marriage. That is until he walked in on him getting spanked by another Dom. From that point on he decided to never take a sub for more than one night. That is until he sees Adam. Although with his head up his ass, it will take their friends to get his head on right.

I had a blast reading this and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book. Butsy or Adam which is his real name, is probably one of my favorite characters of all time. He is just so damn cute. I would definitely be reading this book more than once. Way to go Shea Balik.

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts

Blurb: Christian needs what Peter has to give him, but will he let himself have it?

With Toby’s stalker behind bars, Damon and Toby can relax and enjoy their relationship, sinking into basking and reveling in each other.

Things are just heating up for Peter and Christian, though. A former soldier, Christian still hasn’t found his subspace and he’s worried it either doesn’t exist or he’s simply doing it wrong. Peter has as much patience as he needs, though, and he slowly pushes Christian to the edges of his limits, doing everything he can to help Christian grow and flourish.

Christian’s training and the café they’re opening create good excuses for Christian to keep from submitting, even though, deep down, it’s what he really wants. Peter’s perseverance will have to work overtime to overcome them.

Will Christian ever give in to the things he knows he needs? Only time will tell.

ISBN: 978-1-78651-382-3

Product Link: Pride Publishing | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Christian and Peter are the focus of this story with Toby’s stalker finally behind bars. Christian is a former soldier and is having a hard time submitting to Peter. These men love each other dearly and Peter is patient and not willing to give up on Christian.

I loved how Peter tried different scenes to see if they would help with Christian’s issues. Never pushing too hard and when they did not work he figured out something else. I also found it cute that Peter was constantly distracted by Christian.

Great read.

Brewing by Sean Michael

Title: Brewing

Series: Beer and Clay 04

Author: Sean Michael

Genre: BDSM, Contemporary

Length: Novella (105 pages)

Publisher: Pride Publishing (13th October 2015)

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts

Blurb: As the love between Toby and Damon deepens, the man intent on destroying their happiness increases his efforts.

Toby and Damon are back in Brewing, their relationship deepening more despite the continuing efforts of a stranger to bring them down.

Helping in their efforts are their best friends Peter and Christian. Peter’s new investment in a three-story building on the same block as Damon’s bar offers Toby the opportunity of having a studio close to home. It also gives Peter and Christian a home they’ve made together, which Peter hopes will bring them closer together.

A former soldier, Christian has a hard time letting go and finding his subspace. It’s going to take a lot to break the conditioning he’s learned in the Army. Peter is stubborn, though, and he’s seriously falling for his strong sub.

Will yet another attack bring down two couples this time?

ISBN: 978-1-78430-796-7

Product Link: Pride Publishing | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: In this book we see a new business open and Toby is ecstatic and immediately begins sculpting in his new studio. Damon is happy yet concerned when the stalker yet again throws their world into chaos.

We also learn more about Peter and Christian. Christian is struggling with his d/s relationship with Peter. But Peter is not giving up and finds different ways to ease Christian in the lifestyle.

I liked this story as the stalker is finally revealed and we learn more about Christian and Peter as opposed to only the story being about Damon and Toby.

Great read.

Heat Level: Moderate

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥ 4 Hearts

Blurb: Jackson Davis is considered a gay man’s wet dream but he’s tired of finding lovers that only seemed to want him for his looks and not a real relationship. One night at a bar, Jackson discovers a man watching him. The man never approaches him, never speaks to him. When Jackson finally confronts the man, he is astounded by his reaction. Thus begins Jackson’s obsession with pleasing Michael.

And what follows is a story of frustration and confusion for Jackson as Michael commands and dictates to him, rewarding Jackson when he’s good and punishing him when he’s bad. Jackson is confused that he lets Michael dominate him, wondering if it makes him less of a man. Can Jackson accept the fact that pleasing Michael makes him happy or will he lose the best thing that ever happened to him?

ISBN: 978-1-63258-603-2

Product Link: Siren-BookStrand | Amazon US | Amazon UK

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Sir Series collection features a new romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order.

I have never really understood the BDSM lifestyle, but it makes for an interesting read. Maybe a little too hard core for me, but it is still a fascinating read. I have always loved Stormy’s stories and will always grab them up. This series is not my favorite of all of her books but still gives me an entertaining night of fun.

Jackson is absolutely gorgeous and has a hard time finding that one man for him. Then his best friend points out a man staring at him and his interest is piqued. He is just not to sure of what the man wants, but damn if he does’t want it.

Michael is a dominate and wants the lifestyle twenty-four-seven. The problem is finding the boy for him, that is until he sees Jackson. Too bad his boy has no clue about what is going on. You guessed it, it is not going to go as easy as Michael hopes for.

This story was previously published but has been revised and expanded for our enjoyment. I am still not too sure of many of the things these guys like, but Jackson definitely had a harder time then I had thought he would have. Michael was definitely pushy and too cocky for my taste, but when the story is all together and you can just see the magic. I loved Jackson, but in the end it was Michael that won the spot in my eyes. He is still pushy but he also has a very sweet side. I did enjoy reading it and can see myself reading it more than once.

I would definitely recommend this book.

They’re even better in the bedroom, where Toby is learning all sorts of new things and Damon is happily pushing his limits.

They’ve almost forgotten that someone doesn’t seem as happy with their closeness as they are, when Toby walks into his studio to find it trashed and his little apartment ransacked.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: The aftermath of book two leaves Toby shot in the shoulder and recuperating with Damon’s help. The perpetrator is still on the loose and continues their threats but Toby is focusing on Damon and their further explorations in the bedroom.

I loved that Damon was there for Toby. Toby for his part was brave and responsive to what Damon wanted as well as to his own fantasies.

Great read.
