Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.

Wow, this book had a lot of drama and angst going on. Matt’s history is rough to read about. He really did not have a good childhood at all. Because of that he has issues left over. Together he and Ingor have founds ways to deal with them. That includes a pretty much 24/7 BDSM relationship.

Things are going good for them up until Matt has a fall and suffers from a traumatic brain injury. That is when things start going seriously wacky. So much goes on and certain things happen that leave me confused and a little befuddled. Basically I was wondering how the hell these things even went down. Suffice to say I was pulled out of the book.

Things do finally get back on track with the relationship between Matt and Ingor. I really do like the relationship these two have. It is BDSM, but there is a great deal of love and caring to it.

I enjoyed a good part of the book. However the drama and angst with Matt’s past coming back to get him was a little much for me. It just did not feel needed with all the other things going on. It was also nice to see the other characters from the past two books show up and take part.

So overall it was an OK read and I still look forward to more in the series.

Blurb: Welcome to The Cage, where you can share the ups and downs of a group of friends as they enjoy a rollicking adventure of sex and love in “the life.”

Being a Dom has always come naturally to Lazar Thornton, owner and operator of The Cage, a thriving adult toy store and meeting place for Lazar’s closest friends, Bran, Max, Otto, and the always flamboyant and fierce Miss Dré. But even the best of friends have different tastes in scenes—and in life.

Good-humored and laid back, but much in demand as both teacher and Dom, Lazar has always run from love. Until Ben Owen, relative newbie to the BDSM world, arrives wide-eyed and eager to learn, and Lazar wants to teach this sub everything he knows. But despite the openness needed for a Dom/sub relationship to thrive, neither discusses emotions. Feeling the sting of unrequited love, Ben isn’t as sure of his place in Lazar’s life as he wants to be. Lazar will need to read his sub’s heart as well as his mind if he truly wants to keep Ben in his life.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This was the first book I have read by this author and was quite surprised. I wasn’t so sure what to think however. The title caught me, but the cover had me wondering. It comes off so innocent, but with that title you know there is going to be some heart to it. I am not really sure about the lifestyle but these guys seemed to find their homes.

I have checked into the Dom/Sub lifestyle through many books, so there is some kink that sounds fascinating where as others just plain freak me out. Lazar is one hot Dom, and he owns The Cage. It is a story that sells adult toys and a place for them to meet up. He loves to teach others everything he knows, but damn when Ben comes in things are going to change.

Ben is new to the whole scene. He wants to learn, and he wants Lazar to teach him. Things heat up with them, but Ben wonders about where Lazar’s heart is. It doesn’t really give a place where they discuss what they are feeling though. However the sex between them is enough to get me hot.

This author has always given a story that captivates you and keeps your attention. Which is exactly what it did for me. I had fun with it and look forward to telling those about it. It gave me almost everything I could want in a story. I am still not sure after reading the story, if I like the lifestyle or not, but hearing about their scenes is a mighty fun read.

I look forward to seeing what other stories this author has out.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: As we get older we realize things about ourselves that can be shocking. Sam sees the different relationship but the pure love between Greg, Chris and Liam. He realizes though he doesn’t really want two men he is ready to face facts he wants a real relationship. When he meets Hudson he finds out more and more about himself every time they are together.

This is a very good story about a man finding out  he likes to give over control at home to someone else. He deals with so much on a daily basis being a leader, he likes to submit and have trust in someone else. I find this highly relatable.

This story feels like two books in one since we start out with the ménage of Greg, Chris and Liam with the abduction of Liam by his family. This is where Sam comes in since he is FBI. They all become good friends. Then you have the story of Hudson and Sam’s new relationship.

There is a touch of angst and drama with the ongoing story of Liam’s parent’s and Liam’s emotional problems. There are lots and lots of hot sex. Just a little bit too much for me.

If you like FBI agents, angst, ménage and a lot of hot man-sex this is definitely for you.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: This is a delightfully short novella is the first book in Chris McHart’s Love in Germany series. It also happens to be a hot BDSM-themed Christmas story. Note: since this book was released eight months ago, I looked up and could not find out any more on this series although the author has various works in progress.

The story is told from the POV of Ryan. He is sent to Germany to work and while there falls in love with Julian, who meets at a market. The attraction is instant and it’s hot. Julian also happens to be a Dom, and Ryan is more than willing to be his sub.

Both characters are likable and it’s difficult not to feel Ryan’s highs and lows between meeting Julian and then having to return to the states. I feel that we’ve only just got a small taste of the passion that these two characters are capable of. At first Julian is so unassuming that I was finding it difficult to see him as a Dom, but he just fits the role perfectly.

It doesn’t have to be Christmas to enjoy reading this one. It’s hot and it’s a bit of fun too. If you like your BDSM, you’ll like it. But the characters are so damn relatable and I think it’s because they start off quite ordinary and unassuming.

Blurb: You have to be the best to go to war with the worst.
That’s the motto the agents of the Federal Paranormal Agency live by. They train hard to hunt down those that go rogue, enforcing the laws set down through the ages. They deliver justice to those that break the laws and save the innocent. They are the enforcers of the paranormal world.

Reed Dolur is a private man. As a white tiger shifter and an agent with the FPA, Reed likes to keep his personal life separate from his professional persona. When he’s off the clock, Reed spends time at Leather Men, a local BDSM club. One night Reed goes out looking for a rough scene and meets a mysterious man. After an intense scene, Reed wakes up alone, his body carrying the marks of his Dom and the scent of his mate hanging in the air.

Graham Bingham was a FPA agent, living and working in Los Angeles, California. When dead men start turning up around the city, Graham soon realizes that he’s tied to each of the victims. Their bodies bear his marks, but he’s not responsible. Someone is mimicking him, killing innocent men, and pointing the evidence in his direction. To keep the other agents on his team safe, Graham leaves his badge and life behind. When he meets his mate, Graham runs in the opposite direction.

He doesn’t think he’ll be able to protect Reed, not with a killer stalking him.

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: Each book in the Federal Paranormal Agency collection features a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, I would recommend reading the series in sequential order. There is nothing better than a good paranormal romance with two gorgeous men involved. There is something about the way that Olivia Black tells a story that will not only draw you in and keep your attention the whole time but it will have you in tears at some part.

Olivia has always been one of my favorite authors. There is just something about her characters, story and the way they mix with each other. With these stories it gives you a mate that has at some point been hurt. The alpha of the pair feels so much for his mate, he will do everything to protect his mate and keep him safe.

The characters are beautifully written with big hearts, however if you cross them, they have no problem putting you down. They will protect their mates with their entire lives. I had a blast reading this story. This story is perfect for when you are trying to take a break. There is a bit of a serious tone to them but there is a lot of humor in them that I love. It caught my attention from the moment I started reading and kept it all the way to the end. It also gave me everything I could want in a book.

As you know by reading this, the agency has this motto that they live by. They deliver justice to those that break the laws and save the innocents. The problem is when an innocent thinks that one of the guys is the killer and sets to seek his justice. Graham was an amazing agent and loved what he did. He is also a big time Dominate and for a lion I would think he was anyway. He has a great big heart and cares for those around him. So when some of the guys he had been with were killed and marked the way he had marked them, he knew he had to catch the guy. He left the agency and set out to find him.

What he finds instead is his mate.

Reed is a tiger shifter who one would think is a Dominate but he is a sub. He loves pain, especially when he can feel it for days later. Which for a shifter is not how it is done, they usually heal pretty dang fast. He takes one look at Graham and realizes he has found the Dom he needed. Then he finds out that the sexy man is his mate and that he is in danger. Someone has it out for him in a big way.

It is up to them all to find out who is behind the killings and to keep their men safe. Now with this story I felt bad for the killer. I won’t say why because you need to find out on your own. It is a great story with a little bit of surprise in it. Usually I get caught up in a story but this one just pulls at me more than normal. Which for a paranormal is kind of strange. There is this hint of darkness in it that had me guessing, but it didn’t last too long. I had a blast with this book.

I would definitely recommend reading this book. Trust me it will keep you laughing, crying, loving and having fun.

Blurb: Welcome to Cedar Falls, a small North Carolina town nestled amongst the Smoky Mountains. Where the people are friendly and the men are hot.

Jax Rankin came to Cedar Falls for a new start. He never expected to meet Flynn Anderson or to fall in love the moment he laid eyes on the clumsy waiter. As a Dom, Jax was drawn to Flynn’s natural need to submit. He just needed to find a way to help Flynn accept that side of himself.

Flynn Anderson was living in a recurring nightmare. Ten years earlier his twin sister died and he’d never been able to get over the loss. When he meets Jax, he’s sure there’s no way the sexy man could ever be interested in him.

Will Jax be able to show Flynn the happiness that could be found through submission? Or will Flynn miss out on the bliss Jax could give him with a little painful pleasure?

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.
I have to say I think this one has been my favorite in this series so far. There is just something so heartbreaking about Flynn’s circumstances that drew me to him. He has been suffering since his twin sister death years ago. Something that was never his fault, but his parents made sure he felt was his. Now he is supporting his mentally ill mother and younger sister.

I found myself completely cheering on Jax as he made Flynn his. Flynn so deserved someone who would look out for his best interests and take care of him. Not to say Flynn was weak because honestly he was not. To have been able to function and do what he needed for long takes a strong person.

Jax was the perfect partner for the type of man Flynn is. Jax was able to get Flynn out of his shell and really open up to life. He was able to make Flynn stronger and accept what happened, and also what he needed to do. Flynn literally blossomed under Jax.

This was well written and moved at a steady pace. It was a sweet read that was heartwarming in the simplicity of how the two men are drawn together and make a life for themselves. Plus the hot sex didn’t hurt anything.

I enjoyed this lovely story.

Reviewer: Cat

Review: I liked this story a lot. It shows the inner turmoil and struggles of someone who is trying to feel needs that do not fit in with the normal society. I liked both Todd and Malik.

I would have liked to have seen more of where Todd and Malik’s relationship went in the future as we only get a couple of weeks. Also, there was only one mild spanking scene with Malik and Todd, the rest were only alluded to. I would have liked to see the scene and how Todd reacted to it. I also would have liked more of Malik’s reactions.

Having said that, this is a very sweet, romantic, hot story. You can’t go wrong for a short story!

If you like sweet romance, short stories older men/younger men, mild BDSM and some sensual but hot man-sex this is definitely for you.

Andrew Vegas knows his job. He’s a Dom. But there is more than one side to him and he’s tired of keeping the other parts of him hidden.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book has both good and bad about it.
What I did like was that they were both men that have been hurt by others before. They finally have a shot with each other to have the best of both worlds. They each want a lover and to be able to have a D/s relationship…all with the same person.

They each have someone who understands and will meet their needs, all of them. And the sex between them was decently hot and sexy, but I really expected a little more BDSM element than it had.

This book starts in what feels like almost the middle of the story. When it begins Andrew and Roddy have actually been seeing each other regularly for two years as Dom and sub. There has never been actually sexual intercourse between them.

However after Roddy is seriously feeling the tension from his job as a news producer for the local news he goes to see his Dom, Master Vegas after several weeks. Once there they finally break past their boundaries and have sex. After that things move in at rollercoaster pace.

There is no back story to really explain how the two of them have started to fall for each other. Nothing to explain why Andrew was suddenly willing to change the rules after two years. It just jumped to let’s do this and have a relationship. I felt like I completely missed something.

Plus there are a few other things that I questioned happening. It all left me a little underwhelmed when it was all said and done. However I did still manage to enjoy the story since the two men did work well together.

So not a perfect book, and if you look past certain things, both Andrew and Roddy are nice guys who manage to find someone to spend their lives with.

Review: Very interesting read. What I loved the most is how Jasek danced to his own tune instead of following normal traditions as the way it usually went. Jasek reminded me of someone who is strong, sure and determined and never lets someone tell him what he should do. He also seems fair and reasonable when the need arises.

Tarrin seemed very much to love Jasek and stood by him no matter what he decided. A strong and loving bond to be sure. I loved how these two so completely complemented the other throughout the book. Great story with some hot sex that added spice to the story.

Highly recommended.

Review: This is the second book in An Aaron Jaycynth Mystery. Though I didn’t read the first I truly enjoyed this book though a few times i was confused. The mystery itself was awesome. I felt myself slowly sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what Aaron and his team was going to do.

It seemed as though Aaron was a little out of his death with his personal life. I felt the BDSM scene was a little much and the story would have flowed more smoothly without it. Aside from that I enjoyed it.

Great read that draws the reader into a mystery that needs to be solved before anyone is killed, though at times I thought I had it figured out and other times I was scratching my head. At the same time Aaron struggles with his personal life to please a sub.

All in all it was really good.

Review: This is book three in Quads of Alpha S series. I felt so bad for Wynne as he felt he needed to run from an abusive Dom rather than just break things off. After crashing when a mission goes wrong he finds himself attracted to one of the aliens.

However after the way he’s been treated he sticks to his guns and remains true to himself as he gets to know the other being. I loved Wynne’s character as he overcomes what he has been through. Hot sex spiced up things in this wonderfully written story.

Loved it.

Feeling out of his element and for the first time quite shy, Jenner is unable to play the wallflower when he captures the attention of the suave, seductive owner of Manse, David Davenport.

David is used to getting what he wants, and what he wants is gorgeous young Jenner, who begins to realize every fantasy and wild desire could be his for the taking, if only he dares to ask and obediently serve. (M/M/M)

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Learning from the Master by Lynn Kelling is the prequel to Bound by Lies. I love reading these short stories because I feel like I’m being told a secret about the character that I didn’t know prior.

Jenner is used to being in control of his life but the minute he walks through the doors at Manse, a gay nightclub, he knows immediately he is out of his element. When David, the owner of the club, sits down beside Jenner scoping him out, he instantly has a case of butterflies.

Jenner goes to the club mainly looking for sex. What he finds is so much more than he ever expected. David takes control of Jenner immediately and focuses all his attention on giving Jenner every type of pleasure he can imagine.

Manse is a BDSM club so it’s not long until David is mastering Jenner. He wants to show him what being a master and sub are about and train him so that he can one day have his own sub.
Shea is David’s sub and he arranges for the two to meet and form a connection. His goal is to show Jenner how special and precious having a sub is and how to appreciate them to the fullest.

This is a short story so everything happens pretty quickly. Lynn does a great job of putting a lot of detail and information into the story so that you get the full experience of what is happening.
Even though it is short the author doesn’t cut corners on the importance of safety and rules within the BDSM world. David is always very conscientious of what is going on and making sure Jenner is okay with the training.

This is a great introduction into how Jenner gets his start of being a Master. Lynn is a great storyteller and one of the best when it comes to BDSM. Every story I’ve read by her always has my full attention and I quickly become enthralled in the storyline.

Whether it’s a novella or a full novel Lynn tells the story brilliantly. You definitely want to read this if you have read Bound by Lies and if you haven’t I would encourage you to read both.

If you like BDSM in your stories, Lynn Kelling is the author to read.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Brand is a college student who enlists in the service and gets a call that he has been chosen. Brand seemed excited yet nervous at first until he meets his master Zane Wooding, an actor. Zane is smoking hot but feels most only see his body and looks and not the man he actually is inside. He seemed insecure about a few things throughout.

There is a lot of sex in this book, every few pages, between Brand and Zane and with multiple partners. Most of it was steamy and hot. I liked the way that Brand and Zane gained more confidence in themselves as the story progressed. They each helped boost each other up when it was needed.

I hated Casey. Zane should have never let him watch over Brand while he was gone. The way Casey treated Brand was horrifying. It broke my heart that another human being would be that cruel to another. It was sickening.

It was an OK read with some intense scenes that I didn’t care for as they disturbed me. But I did enjoy Cade, Shawn, Zane and Brand’s connections as they seemed to fit well together and certainly help when things turned sour.

Blurb: When fifteen-year-old Devin Hughes created his phantom lover to help him keep his sexual identity a secret, he never imagined that Brice would materialize in the flesh ten years later.

Convinced that the mind-blowing encounters he had with his hunky specter were nothing more than fevered hallucinations, Dev attempts to push Brice to the back of his mind and concentrate on his rising career as an advertising executive.

With the help of his newest client, Englishman Matthew Lyons, CEO of Lyons Security, Devin is able to forget Brice once and for all. Sparks fly between Dev and Matt, and they speed full-throttle into a relationship.

During a month-long separation, Devin struggles with uncertainty and reverts to his “hurt them before they hurt you” attitude, forcing him to get a grip and make things right or lose Matt altogether.
When an obsessed Brice finds out about Devin’s new relationship, his rage reaches an all-time high. The two men have ruined all his plans, and he will stop at nothing to reach his goal: harvesting Devin’s soul.

Will Devin, with Matthew’s help, find a way to banish Brice forever, or will they both succumb to the satanic powers of a maniacal demon?

Review: What happens when a young man wants to be loved? He has a make believe lover or so Devin thinks. I liked the way this story was written and progressed. After Devin’s break up he meets Matt and thinks he has finally found the one. But his so called dream lover may not approve.

Intriguing book with paranormal and contemporary aspects all throughout. Brice seemed intent for his own gain with no concern for anyone else. I loved how well Matt and Devin seemed so well matched together.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Oh my, oh wow, this was the most erotic story I have had the absolute pleasure of reading in quite some time. I don’t know how Kora Knight can take 100 pages, give or take, and make them one big sex scene that literally has you holding your breath in fear of coming to the end too quickly. But, does she ever and OMG, I am so hooked. This series is an erotic read, there’s no doubt about that, but it’s not porn. It is a beautiful journey between two men who fit together like peas and carrots.

Tad and Scott have to rearrange their plans when Scott all of a sudden needs to fill in for a friend at the gym. He invites Tad to come and watch and be a part of his kick-boxing class. Since Tad has been wanting an opportunity to take him down for a while now this seems the perfect time.

Tad knows his feelings for Scott are getting stronger and stronger and he may be getting close to the “L” word. He’s never been in love with anyone so he is taking it slow and Scott understands.
After class, Tad really wants to show his dominance for a change.

Every encounter they have had has always been with Scott taking the lead but Tad is ready to take the reins. Wrestling has definitely taken on new meaning and I don’t think I will ever see it that Tad and Scott will not come to mind. They have taken HOT to a whole new level.

Kora Knight works magic with her characters. The way she writes sex scenes between Tad and Scott and includes so many relevant factors like laughing, joking, touch, kissing, being serious when they need to be, it is absolutely incredible. Ms. Knight I believe you have ruined me, lol. Only in the best way, of course.

Prized Possession may be my favorite so far. It’s really hard to decide because each one is just pure perfection of sweet, sexy, and delicious goodness. I strongly encourage everyone to read this series. I know it has jumped to the top of most favorites and Ms. Knight has become an auto-buy for me.

Bringing it Home is up next and my only regret is that it’s the last one until Fall. So so good!!!

Murphy by Bey Deckard

Publisher: Bey Deckard (June 1st, 2015)

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts
Blurb: Sometimes when it seems like it’s too late, the right person comes along and opens your eyes…

Murphy is the continuing story of a D/s relationship between two Space Marines who found each other in the midst of hopelessness and misfortune.

Sarge and his newly minted squad travel across the galaxy on a top-secret mission that could help win the war. However, to Murphy something about the mission stinks, and it’s not just the planet they’ve landed on.

ISBN: 9780993701795

Product Link: http://www.amazon.com/Murphy-F-I-S-T-S-Book-Bey-Deckard-ebook/dp/B00YAJ5UFM/

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Murphy and Sarge are fighting a war that should have ended years ago. They all know it is money and greed that keep them there, but for now they continue to fight the fight. Murphy was injured on his last mission but he seems to be on his way to recovering very well.

By now, the crew knows, or they think they know, what goes on behind their closed door. Murphy is a little embarrassed, but he holds his head up just the same.

Sarge wears his tough and abrasive personality in front of his crew, at all times, but he’s realizing how much Murphy has softened him up, and he just shakes his head in disbelief. When it’s just the two of them, they are like poetry in motion. Murphy loves, LOVES, submitting to Sarge and being at his beck and call. He will do whatever he needs, or what Sarge needs, to serve him.

Sarge puts Murph through his paces, knowing the whole time what it’s doing to him, or to certain body parts. When they engage in sex their spark is like a force field ready to ignite. It is powerful and explosive. Murphy has the ability to see colors, an aurora that lets him know Sarge is more than happy when they are together.

As the Marines prepare for their next mission, something is not right. Both, Sarge and Murph, feel it they just don’t know what it is. Murphy is having trouble with his leg working properly but chooses to keep it to himself, right now.

The team splits up and that puts Sarge on alert. Their mission is simple, or so they were led to believe, but they soon find out it is more than they were told. As trouble ensues and they are left to their own devices will the other team members find them before it’s too late?

And, something is happening to Murphy causing his vision to blur, colors are going haywire, and he is struggling to stand. Sarge is going ballistic and he aims to kill. He needs answers even though he knows he won’t like the ones he hears. Is it possible they were set up?

Bey Deckard has an incredible ability to write beautiful prose that will suck you in and make you thankful for the experience. Murphy is a short story, much like Sarge, with enough action and drama that you would swear it was a full length novel. You know it’s not because you keep looking at the page count hoping the end is not in sight.

As I have come to expect with anything that has Bey attached to it, the execution is smooth and flawless and the descriptive narrative will catapult you into the story. The sex scenes are just as beautiful, which sounds a little weird with it being two marines, but hey…that’s the way it is.

Sarge reminiscing with himself about Murphy…

Gorgeous and gifted with as much brains as brawn…and unwaveringly and completely mine. I grit my teeth and blink hard.

There must be dust in my eye.

He rescued me, my boy. From myself, mostly. And, you can bet your ass that from now until forever, I’m going to make every single goddamn second count.

Even if you think to yourself, I don’t like sci-fi, don’t let it deter you with this series. I don’t like it either, however, I love everything Bey Deckard. Maybe we should make a new genre called, WhateverBeywrites. 

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: This book is part of a series and should be read in order.

The book opens up with Toby and Damon still happy and in love with each other. Toby has finally received the approval of his doctor to start sculpting again. Leaving Damon a little worried that Toby will overdo it.

Damon is still pushing Toby’s limits every chance he gets, and Toby is certainly enjoying it. One thing you can count on with Sean Michael, the sex will be damn hot. And this was no different. The sex was off the wall in the hot factor. And there was a hell of a lot of it.

I do like and enjoy both men. They are really adorable, and absolutely steaming sexy together. I enjoy the way Damon is bringing Toby out of his self-imposed shell. Toby still gets embarrassed by certain things, but his world is definitely opening up.

Toby is simply cute. There is no other way to descriptive him. He is innocent, shy, sweet, and yet there is sensuality to him. When he lets go and submits totally to Damon he is truly free.
Damon is everything loving a Dom should be. He takes care of Toby, not only sexually. But also mentally and physically. He tries not to allow Toby to push himself too much while he is still recovering. He also holds onto Toby when he spirals after another visit by the mysterious attacker.

The only issue I have is the fact that the issue of whoever is causing trouble for Toby and Damon is being dragged out. Once again the person strikes, and at the end there is no resolution or clue who is doing it. I find that a bit annoying.

Overall, this was a very sexy read, with some nice tender moments. I look forward to reading more about these two.
