Blurb: In an alternate universe, the ancient concept of a slave class continues to exist. While a few countries have finally ended the brutal practice, the United States isn’t one of them. Once born a slave, one remains a slave, with only a few laws for protection against the whims of a cruel master.

Eighteen-year-old Oliver is a newly-minted pleasure slave. Trained to be a living sex toy, he has been sold to a wealthy widower. Being gay, Oliver has high hopes he will enjoy his new life. Unfortunately, his master has a sadistic streak and treats him like an object. Oliver has no choice but to endure and make the best of his lot.

Ben has reluctantly come home to help his father temporarily with the family business. He’s surprised to learn his father has bought a beautiful young slave boy to warm his bed. He doesn’t approve of slavery and is disconcerted by his attraction to the boy. Oliver is equally wary of Ben’s kindness and appeal. No other free person has ever treated him with such care.

There can never be anything between them, however, so they fight their growing desire. But despite their resolve, Oliver and Ben grow closer, tumbling into a clandestine affair. In a world in which slaves have no choice and falling in love with a freeman is the stuff of movies, they risk everything to be together.

Reader discretion is advised: slavery is inherently nonconsensual and this story contains MM sex scenes, as well as scenes of violence, that some readers may find objectionable and upsetting.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: While this was a very well written book I did find the scenes with so the so-called “Master” quite horrifying at times. The Master is a cruel man and enjoys being that way as far as I could tell. I wholeheartedly don’t agree with slavery in any way shape or form. So I was surprised by this story, as I didn’t read the blurb first before deciding to review it.

Oliver is a born slave bought by his first master. At first things are fine until the master punishes another slave for the dent in his car that the slave didn’t cause. I thought that was very unfair to punish someone for something they didn’t do. When Ben, the masters son, comes home, Oliver and Ben are attracted to each other but that’s dangerous for them both. I wish Oliver had belonged to Ben and not hi cruel father.

It was an o.k. read with scenes of nonconsensual or rape as I would call it, slave or not, scenes with the Master as well as tender moments between Ben and Oliver.

I would recommend reader caution with this book if you don’t normally read stories where slavery is in them.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Lessons, Book 3 in Nicholas Bella’s, Chained in Darkness, series picks up where Punishment, Book 2, left off. After finishing Punishment and knowing Lessons would be next, I was little apprehensive as to what “lessons” Noel would have to suffer through. And, make no mistake, he has suffered, extensively. His only saving grace, at this point, is he heals almost immediately from his torture (One of the perks of being a vampire). In Noel’s mind, he IS being tortured, he’s being humiliated, and he is definitely being made an example in front of the others.

Most of us know vampires thrive and survive with blood as their potent nectar and lifeline. And while that is also true here, Noel, and the others, also needs semen. Specifically Théoden’s, as his has powerful properties that will electrify and energize your whole body. So…what lessons will Noel be taught? He makes it quite clear he is not happy about his situation. He is confused, mentallfanart lessons nicholas bella noel(1)y and physically, seeing his body and more to the point, his manhood, respond fervently as he watches and listens to those around him having sex.

Théoden continues to be the evil, sadistic, bastard and takes great pleasure in making Noel an example to his “brothers.” It doesn’t matter to him that Noel is an unwilling participant. His displeasure is voiced loud and clear, when Noel tries to thwart his commands.

“Suck it, you filthy fucking bitch!” Théoden growled as he shoved his hips forward.

I felt like I couldn’t breathe, and I knew I didn’t need to, but I was too used to the sensation of breathing not to panic at this point. I pressed my hands on Théoden’s thighs, trying to rise up. He snatched me off his cock, lifting my head up, and slapped me hard across the cheek then spit in my face. I recoiled as his hot, slimy saliva slid down my lips and cheek. It was so fucking disgusting and degrading. I knew that’s why he did it.

“Open your mouth!” He ordered.

Since his blood now flows through Noel, he knows him better than Noel knows himself, or at least what he is willing to admit. Noel will become nothing other than a dumpsite for his fellow vampires as they use him, relentlessly, to pleasure themselves.

Whether Noel learns anything from this lesson, and I’m not convinced he has, he does learn something about himself. His taste buds are getting quite the workout and he finds he rather likes the explosions of flavor. (Use your imagination. you’ll probably be right, lol)

“It’s time that you accept what you are, Noel. This is a part of your life now, get used to it or suffer.” Théoden looked at Bruce and nodded.
Bruce slid back down, squatting over my face. “There’s no time like the present, let me feel that sweet tongue, boy.”

Noel may be held by forces he doesn’t understand but his fiery attitude continues to show. He may go along with Théoden’s demands, but he doesn’t have to like it. But, is that really the case? Is it possible Noel enjoys, ummm, drinking, and swallowing, the vampires nectar? His brothers enjoy, immensely, taking their pleasure from Noel. They force him to do things to them that repulse him to his core.

Their sexual deviances have no boundaries as they put Noel through his lessons. Noel realizes he is at their mercy, to be used and abused, as they see fit. However, could it be that Noel is more humiliated with the actions of his body than the act itself?

As the author continues to warn us, (see up there^^) I continue to read, anyway. I need to know what is coming next and if Noel will continue to fight or give in. As with the first two novelettes, the author doesn’t cut corners or spare the details. Lessons, for me, was an easier read, (Noel notsomuch, heh), out of the three, so far. His lessons were not as painful as his punishment, but still hard on Noel, just the same.

I’m afraid to assume, however, that things are beginning to lighten up. I see traces, small glimpses, of Théoden maybe, MAYBE, having some compassion, but then again I’m sure it’s just my wishful thinking. Nicholas, also, includes more of the cast in this story giving us an inside view of what Noel is up against.

The “brothers” all connected together through Théoden, his blood and semen, are an intriguing bunch. They are egotistical, loud, brutish, and very vocal, finding their own pleasure, and shouting explicitly, for the others. Each one will use Noel as the instrument in achieving their release.

I haven’t changed my opinion that somewhere through this journey I will love Théoden. He’s evil, volatile, and temperamental. And, in his defense, he is consistent with his warnings, doesn’t waiver on his punishments, and deep down, way down, I think he wants Noel to succeed, to give in, and enjoy his new life. Only time will tell and one reason why I am compelled to see it through.

Submissions, book 4, is up next and I can only wonder if Noel will submit willingly or continue to hold strong with his convictions. Hopefully, by now, Noel has gained enough insight to go along with Théoden and if nothing else, to at least keep his mouth shut. But, what would be the fun in that?

Blurb: As I awaken to this new night, I have no idea what Theoden has planned for me. I know there are more lessons he wants to teach me… I just don’t know how painful… or how pleasurable they will be. I do know that I’ve given into Theoden in ways that I’d never thought I would.

Not only that, but he’s made me feel… pleasure unlike anything I’d ever experienced. I want to resist him, I need to resist him, but I’m finding it nearly impossible to resist him. His hold over me is stronger than my will to fight him and with each passing day, I know that I’m losing this battle.

On top of personal experiences, I’m discovering secrets the human world never knew. I’m beginning to understand why the humans lost the war and how insignificant my rebellion actually was. This realization has been the cruelest lesson of all.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Control, book 5, in Nicholas Bella’s Chained in Darkness series brings new characters that leave you yearning for more information. You, also, see Noel with a new attitude about the pleasures he gives and receives. I think he is finally succumbing to his new way of life. Most of the time.

Never, in a million years, did Noel ever see himself in the position or situation he is in now. Théoden, as well as, his vampire brothers told him he would come to love everything in his new life if he would just stop fighting it. Of course, being straight didn’t help to alleviate the feelings he was starting to have.

Once Noel was able to submit and realize his place in the house, he became a new person. Oh, he still has his moments of defying his Master. He wouldn’t be Noel if he didn’t. However, through his torturous training, something he doesn’t want to fall victim to again, he is beginning to think before he speaks.

Théoden is proud of how his boy is coming along. He can see he is really making an effort to fit in and instead of disciplining him in his moments of forgetfulness, he just shakes his head probably laughing at his expense. Don’t think for a second that Théoden wouldn’t knock his ass across the room if he displeased him because he would and will.

Noel is headed with his Master for a night out. Dressed in leather and ready for what lies ahead this will be the first chance Théoden has at showing off his boy. I tfanart control noel nick bellahink it is also a test for Noel to see how well he behaves in a different atmosphere and around different people.

When Noel sees Tylendel, a very powerful dragon, he is taken back by the feelings and thoughts he is having. He surprises himself that he is lusting so heavily for him. And, wow…is he ever. Théoden’s purpose for taking Noel to the Interloper where Ty hangs out is so his boy can get all the pleasures and desires from this dragon. Noel knows there is no blood connection but he feels something very strongly, where Ty is concerned.

I was still sitting on my knees, speechless and not even really knowing what to say. I wanted to think certain thoughts, but I didn’t want to piss Théoden off. I hated that I felt like a shell of my former self. Still, even in the midst of all that emotion, I was aroused by their presence. My cock throbbed with anticipation of them having their way with me, my body yearned for it. For the pleasure of being taken, possessed…fucked hard.

Noel completely submits to Theo and Ty for their pleasure to be used anyway and every way they see fit. He cannot get enough of either one. His thirst for sex is insatiable. Noel is in lust heaven and he loves every minute of it. This is a big change for Noel, but don’t stop, please.

As each book is released, the author continues to move the story further, exploring many facets of Noel, Théoden, and the many cast of characters that make up this addicting series. Through his imagination and creativity, Nicholas Bella, continues to captivate me with his words.

This series won’t be for everyone. The author makes that more than clear in his warnings on every book released. The torture is extreme, the sex is raw and graphic, but there is a well thought out plot that continues to move forward that begs you, the reader, to see where this will go.

Not only do I have to feed on the blood of humans, I’ve also found out that I need the “essence of a man” as Theoden called it, in order to survive.

If that isn’t enough on my plate, I know Theoden wants to break me down even more. He won’t be happy until he’s taken every part of me that wants to fight him and crushed it under his foot. He wants me to submit to him and I only pray that I can resist his hold over me.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Submission, book 4, in Nicholas Bella’s, Chained in Darkness series continues with Noel not only learning his place as a vampire but also accepting that he is, in fact, a vampire for life. Théoden continues driving the lessons home, urging him to come to grips with his fate. Noel, for no other reason than pride alone, continues to fight a losing battle. He also makes a couple of discoveries in this installment that have been weighing on his mind.

Théoden, with help from the brothers, will finally show Noel just what it means to be with a man, or in his case a male vampire. Théoden takes great pleasure teaching Noel the rules of submission. They all will have their time, learning the ins and outs (pun intended) of Noel. It will be one of the hardest things, to date, with the vampires, for Noel to admit that he likes this lesson. It doesn’t matter whether he admits it to himself because Théoden demands him to tell all how much he is enjoying their unions.

“Before this night is out, you will be begging to cum. And do you know what?”

I sighed as I arched against him. “What Master?”

“I’m going to let you. Do you know why?”

“No, Master.”

“Because you will have earned it. You will submit to me tonight, Noel.” He rested his chin on the top of my head, chuckling. “Oh I know. I don’t even have to read your thoughts to know that you think you’re strong enough to fight against me. But you’re wrong. You will give into us all and you’ll love every second of it.”

Even though submission has its good points, for vampires, there are still quite a few things that Noel is having trouble grasping. He doesn’t like to feed from humans, knowing the outcome, but realizes he can’t survive without them. He still has a very strong dislike for Jonah, the double-crossing weasel, but most of all, his private thoughts are no longer private.

Another mystery out in the open is what type of vampire Théoden is. This will go a long way into explaining why he is so powerful and demands respect. One thing is certain, however, he will concede and admit defeat or be severely punished. And trust me, his punishment is brutal, extremely harsh, and very effective with its intent.

“Yes, that’s it, Noel…enjoy it. Revel in the pleasure and power of your brothers. Submit to us and take your place among my children. This is what you were meant for, this greatness. My children and I are the elite of the vampire legion. We hold the superior echelon among our kind. I chose you out of so many who’d do anything to be sired by me. I chose you because I saw something in you, Noel. Something worthy and I want you to accept that you belong here with us.”

Submitting is inevitable unless he dares to challenge Théoden. Even Handsome and muscular young guy with chainNoel understands how detrimental that could be. I’m sure he will still find reasons to disagree and put up a fight for his own sanity, but I do think he is getting to a place that will offer him respite and some calm. Whether that calm will be before a storm, I don’t know.

I do know that Nicholas Bella has changed my outlook with group activities by writing some very intense, raw, filthy, and graphic sex scenes that were very H.O.T. Each time they have sex, their feelings and abilities become that much stronger. Noel is finally seeing that sex with a man is not only enjoyable but also very gratifying in several ways.

Nicholas Bella continues to hold my attention with his series and I eagerly anticipate what will come next. There was a lot of sex in Submission but it was relevant for Noel to understand the importance of not only semen but to bond with his brothers. The author writes a very descriptive narrative that demands no less than your full attention.

Even though there are parts that are hard to read, there are just as many with humor that will have you laughing aloud. Noel has been dealt a pretty rough hand but he is coming to accept that this is his life. Which prompts me to remember the saying, “It’s better to fuck than fight” something that Noel will surely attest too.

Control is up next and the title gives some clues as to what to expect. In this installment, we got a glimpse of the back history to Théoden and his bloodline. I am eager for that part of him to show its face. If you are reading this and have not read the first three, it is imperative to read in order. I strongly recommend this series if you are not squeamish, like your sex scenes to be hot and plentiful, and may or may not include a bite to the neck. Or other sensitive places.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: Need for sale is the holiday/Christmas short story in the series Hammer, featuring various [MM] couples from an exclusive BDSM club called the Hammer Club. I’ve read some of the stories before and honestly, for the most part you can get away with not reading them in order. I’m fairly picky when it comes to BDSM, but I cannot help but enjoy Sean Michael’s stories from the Hammer club.

Neil is a sub who lost his previous lover two years previous to a car accident. To help himself move on, Neil places himself on the auction black at the highly commended Hammer Auction. He is flattered by how high the men were bidding for him for the night. However, he is stunned to find out the man who was his best friend and never showed the slightest inclination to want to be with him places the winning bid. Dalton, or in the Hammer Club, Master Dalton, has simply never let on his attraction to his best friend. And it is more than simple attraction between the two friends.

This is such an easy read. Steamy and exciting. The attraction and the spark between Neil and Dalton are more than definitely there with a splash of unrequited love. There is also plenty of emotion packed into this short story, especially since key to this story is Neil finally getting over the death of his previous lover, Chris. I found it funny how both men tried to awkwardly play it cool until the moment they fall into their “master and sub” relationship.

Blurb: Trask Jacobs has a past life that he’s desperate to forget. He’s been running from it for years and crossed the country to get away from it. Putting the past behind, he’s gone on to make a new life, obtaining a position as an executive chef at Invitation Only, and the hottest new BDSM club in Austin, Texas. All he wants to do is hide in the back of a kitchen and be left alone to find peace.

Valentine Kaporov is a gorgeous professional Dom at the club and the minute he’s hired, the Russian transplant becomes one of Invitation Only’s biggest draws. What no one knows it that Valentine has a horrific past and has lost the only one he’s ever loved. After a startling meeting with the club’s stunning chef, Valentine begins to wonder about putting his life back together. Will it be possible to lure the stunning chef out of the kitchen and into his own personal playroom and will Trask be able to resist the gorgeous stud who wants to once again put him on display?

Review: Trask is Book two in the Invitation only series. I would suggest you read these in order so you get the best understanding. Invitation Only seems to be a spin-off of some of the other of Patricia Logan’s series. I haven’t read the others, and I do like this series, but sometimes I wonder if I would have done better reading the other series first. There is enough backstory in the book that I do get a feel of the characters.

This book is supposed to about Trask. I will say I feel in love with both Trask and Valentine. This story has a lot of angst, and I loved that these two men found each other. Valentines story is sad and I wold love to have his story from the beginning. I guess that is my biggest issue with this book.

It is called Trask, so I expected to be mainly about Trask. However, we get sex scenes from Red and Stix, Wade and Phoenix and stuff going on in California with Zack. Now having said that I did like this entire story and if the book had been titled something broader, it wouldn’t have been so confusing for me. It just felt a little jumpy and disconnected since I was looking for connections to Trask

I do like this series and look forward to more. I f you like BDSM, Doms, sex-clubs, suspense, drama and lots of hot mansex this is for you.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: Callum rescues from Lee from a man claiming to be a Dom, but is really just a sadist ass with no limits. Lee is innocent in the way of BDSM and was lured into a scene at the club with the wrong person. Lee may be innocent but he knows what he wants and Callum makes him feel safe. Callum also knows what he wants, but he has his own doubts and issues to deal with.

This story is told completely from Callum’s point of view, so there is not much of an inner knowledge of Lee. But I actually liked how Lee was seen through Callum’s eyes. To Callum, Lee is simply adorable, and I agreed. I loved Lee. He was a mix of young and innocent, with a backbone of steel when needed. When Callum tries to back away from a relationship with Lee, Lee pushes for what he wants in order to keep Callum.

I think this is a story that someone will either hate or love. It has BDSM elements, but not perhaps what one expects. I personally enjoyed the step back from the standard. I liked the relationship that Callum and Lee build throughout the story. The sex was hot, the writing was well done, and I was happy with the ending. It had all the elements needed to make a satisfied reader.

I would look forward to reading more from this author in the M/M genre. There seemed to be an opening for another book with a few of the secondary cast. I would definitely read them.

Marchant is patient, but nothing he does seems to help until he discovers Ed’s secret love of dancing—a forbidden passion that might be the key to unlocking the confident, secure man Ed could be.

Reviewer: GiGi

Review: Wow! This little novella gives a new perspective on what makes the office jerk such a beast! The author did a great job turning a monster into a man I was sympathetic for, and felt I wanted to wrap him up and show him the world is a much better place and he can be better too! That’s exactly what Marchant does for Ed.

Marchant takes the lead, takes control, and shows Ed that he’s not the twisted monster his family led him to believe he was, and that if he doesn’t want to be alone, Ed needs to show his true self to others, welcome them in, and trust his growing circle of friends. It’s a lot of wonderful D/s without the explicit sex scenes, and powerful still!

Fest paced, far too short just because I want more Ed and Marchant! I haven’t made myself familiar with Frankie’s series, now I certainly will!

Reviewer: Lisa

Review: This is part of a series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone, but your experience will be enhanced by reading The Sergeant first. This was a really hot little book that smokes most BDSM books out of the water. I love the fact that even though they are both macho men who carry guns and are probably the strongest men I have ever come across. Clay and Logan had gone through the hard times, and most were ok with it. However, their commander seemed to want to punish them by making them work Christmas. Clay had a fantasy and Logan was going to make it come true for him.

This was a fascinating little Christmas story and I had a blast reading it. There was so much feeling put into such a short dynamic story that was one amazing good read. I loved the first book and I have got to tell you that this one was even better than the first. I think for me, it was the fact that Logan gave Clay something he asked for. I look forward to reading the rest of Christa’s books.

Blurb: Red Tacoma, club promoter, is just about ready to blow the Detroit, Michigan, club scene and start over in Austin, Texas, the live music capital of America where his talents can be put to better use. After a nasty break up with a casual boyfriend, he decides the timing is perfect and heads south.

Red’s not a nice guy, though. In fact, he’s a jerk, and he takes pride in getting the job done and letting no one get in his way. Of course, some might call it arrogance, but Red doesn’t care what other people think, not even his boss at his new club gig.

Phoenix, a big bad Dom from Los Angeles, has agreed to move out to Westburg, Texas, with his husband Wade Rubashkin, and run Zachary Teak’s new BDSM club, Invitation Only. But getting a new club ready is always a challenge, one that is fraught with interesting problems, and as always with the Doms and subs of the new club, it is one filled with hilarity and smokin’ hot, sexy men.

Purchase Link: http://www.amazon.com/Red-Invitation-Only-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00GGQHH2Q

Review: This is the first book of the new Series Invitation only. It picks up with Zack opening a live BDSM club in Texas with Phoenix as his manager. It is a series on its own and works fine. This book catches us up well on the other characters, who they are and their roles in this book. I will say I haven’t read many of the other books and I did fine with this one. I will say I really think I need to read silver ties and meet some of these other hot, sexy guys though.

Though this is supposed to be Red’s story, I felt he didn’t get enough time. I would have really liked the story to have focused more on Red, though I see the need to introduce us to the others as well. I would have liked to know more of his past and I really thought he is an arrogant Ass. I am sure we haven’t seen the last of him though. All books need a troublemaker and I will say he has me hooked.

There are some very hot and sexy sex scenes both in and out of the club. There is even a kink scene of pony fetish.

For such a short book, this was very engaging. There was just so much going on I wish it had been split into perhaps one of just invitation only opening then more Red. That’s just my two cents. It was a very good story and I am eager to meet the rest of these sexy men and more Invitation only!

If you like sex clubs, BDSM, fetishes, pony play, intriguing men, and some really hot man-sex this is definitely for you.

Reviewer: Leigh

Review: Sebastian is just trying to get a job as a bartender at a BDSM club. His writing does not make him enough to pay all his bills. His true passion is writing paranormal shifter novels. Which comes in handy when he learns that he is mated to a shifter.

Gavin is a dragon lord that leads one of the largest packs of dragons around. He has been waiting six hundred years to find his mate. Sebastian turns out to be just what he is looking for. He wants a mate who is an equal outside the bedroom and submissive in it.

I loved Sebastian. He was so sweet and just plain likeable. He talks a mile a minute when he gets nervous, which was cute. He also smart and notices the things around him and deals with learning that shifters are real much faster than most humans would, since he has been writing about them for years. Gavin is a strong leader for his pack. But he is not afraid to be loving and gentle with Sebastian when he needs it.

This was a fast paced, well-written book. The sexy and BDSM were tasteful and pretty dam hot. The origin of the shifter world is very unique and one I have not seen before. The hunter’s are the traditional bad guys killing and hurting shifters because they are “monsters.” I look forward very much to more in this series.

Reviewer: GiGi

Review: Had to wrap my head around this one! I really do enjoy a bit of kink, BDSM, if written well, really turns my crank, but this took some imagination on my part! If you’re read Buchanan before, and specifically enjoy the Deputy Joe series, I think you’ll groove to this.

Russ and Bishop have a past, and details and emotions are slowly spilled out as the story, and the drama at the youth detainment camp develops. It’s a shorter story than Jame’s others, so I felt it was a rather quick transition from Bishop’s day job persona to his role as Russ’ pony, specifically his unbroken, skittish mustang. The details about gear, or tack, help me imagine the transition better, but it’s still a bit difficult to imagine a group being into strictly pony play kink, and not involving other fetish play too.

I’ve been around horses all my life, have owned several throughout the decades, and the author does a good job of getting Bishop to think like a horse, strike out like a horse, even spook like a horse! But I still balked at the sexual stimulus here, specifically the sheath, making the individual ponyboy hung like a horse, I kind of get, but then in another scene, Russ fucks him with it and I lost the connection. I even looked up the horse/phallic sheaths to get a better idea of what was going on in the scenes. It’s little stuff, and maybe because it takes so much to put my head in that space, it didn’t work for me, but might light someone else’s fire.

Now the plot involving the youth camp, troubled kids, how frustrating the system can be, and the missing boy…that was interesting and grabbed my attention. I work with some PO’s and do group activities for troubled kids, so I understand the drive, and the sad, frustrating reality of recidivism. I like how the author sheds light on this, and how important the job is even if only a handful of kids change their lives and take a new direction.

Overall, an interesting, very kinky, quick read. Happy to have new material from James Buchanan!

Bad Behavior by K.A. Mitchell

Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥4Hearts

Blurb: In a life full of yes, no is the sexiest word he’s ever heard.

David Beauchamp might as well be in jail. After one too many misunderstandings with the law, he’s chained to the city by the GPS and alcohol sensor strapped to his ankle. Awaiting trial, cut off from usual forms of entertainment, he goes looking for a nameless sexual encounter—and winds up with almost more than he can handle.

Reality comes crashing back the next day with a summons for another random drug test, and the man behind the badge turns out to be the very man who took him for one hell of a ride.

Probation Officer Tai Fonoti is used to handling other people’s problems, but he’s horrified when one of the clients his boss dumps on him is the sweet piece of ass he screwed the night before. It makes getting a urine sample a pretty loaded situation.

That single encounter left Beach craving Tai’s unique brand of control and discipline. But while Tai relishes laying down the law in the bedroom, the letter of the law stands between them and kinkily ever after.

Warning: This book is kinky. I mean kinky. With lots of sex. It describes a fully consensual, intense D/s relationship, which changes a character’s life. It includes impact play and bondage along the way to a very happily ever after.

Reviewer:GiGi

Review: I love it when a bratty man finds someone to lay down the law! In this case, both figuratively and literally, David “Beach” Beauchamp finds that very man for him. Not only does Tai have a kink for control in the bedroom, he can’t help but let it carry over into all aspects in his life. He trains and controls dangerous creatures, from the probation participants that are part of his job, to a dog rescue with a violent past. Tai’s ability to train and dominate oozes from his pores.

Beach is a player. He doesn’t take relationships, jobs, or his life seriously and rebels at every corner. The only thing keeping him tethered to reality and avoiding another bad decision is his ankle bracelet, ordered by the court; until he meets Tai. From a wealthy background, with a troubled past, we’re painted a picture of a brat who is so careless; he’s starting to pull his friends down with him.

His bathroom trick in a local bar gives him a taste and dominance that’ he’s been subconsciously yearning for, too bad it’s his parole officer he’s craving.

Beach decides to attempt a bit of blackmail with his parole officer only to get shot down with a definite no, to his actions, and his bad behavior. Turns out hearing “no,” is almost as big a turn on as the domination Tai gave him in that bathroom. Soon the two tumble into further exploration of Beach’s need for dominance, that bleeds out of the bedroom and into everyday life.

As Beach explores his need for Tai’s dominance, Tai fears failure the likes of which he recently experienced with his ex. Not only does he question his ability to handle and train Beach, he worries about the trouble he knows he could get into with his job.

The sexual content is very steamy, especially if you like the D/s kink as I do! There are some S/M scenes involving punishment that are difficult for both Tai and David, but really seem to help define their relationship.

Lots and lots of tangles, and twists, especially as Tai uncovers David/Beach’s past. There are many surprises and lots of characters I know come from other books in this adventurous, fast-paced series. I have not read the other Bad in Baltimore books, and I know they would add another level to Mitchell’s storytelling, yet Bad Behavior is written well enough to stand alone.

Definitely worth a read and I look forward to cracking open the other four books in this series too!

Blurb: I’ve been betrayed by someone I trusted. Because of him, I was captured by my loathed enemy: The vampires. Right now, the sun is still high in the sky, but I know when it sets, I’m as good as dead. They can’t wait to get their fangs into me. I guess some would say I have it coming. I did raise a lot of hell with my Resistance crew, and I was planning on raising a hell of a lot more at dawn before I was sold out by Jonah. The vampires, werewolves and dragons, have been trying to track me down for months and I’d always been two steps ahead of them.

*Laughs* I guess my number is up. I just hope they make it quick. You see, the vampires in my reality aren’t the romantic lot you read about in books. They don’t sparkle or hang out at high schools with their teenage girlfriends. Hell no, vampires are brutal, calculating, sadistic and bloodthirsty. As a matter of fact, all of the monsters are! That’s how they were able to take over the world so easily and change an entire civilization to suit their needs. Whatever happens, I know it’s not going to be pretty, so I’m preparing myself for the worst. May God help me.

Warning: This novelette series contains hardcore sexual situations between men, not meant for sensitive eyes. I’m talking crude, lewd, and full of attitude. This series will most likely either offend you or get ya revved up. This series isn’t going to be pulling any punches whatsoever, so you’ve been warned. Mature Adult Content meant for readers looking for something dark, taboo, sexy, and unapologetic in their paranormal erotica. This is NOT a romance.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Do you like paranormal? Vampires? Monsters and dragons? What about chains and dungeons? What about putting them together? HOT is what I think. If you like this combination together, you are gonna love Nicholas Bella’s, Chained in Darkness, series. Embraced, Book 1 starts this no/holds/barred series and you know you are going to be in for a thrill.

I had not read the blurb beforehand so I didn’t know what the storyline entailed. The cover is what pulled me in and made me want to read the book. That may appear shallow but a hot, sexy, cover gets me every time. There are going to be several books in this series and each one looks enticing and addicting.
Embraced introduces us to Noel, a human, working with a Resistance crew to extinguish vampires, werewolves, and other monsters of the same. Being double-crossed by one of his own lands him in the clutches of a very evil, sinister, vampire known as Theoden.

Noel tries to stand strong and hang onto his convictions that Vampires are the lowest form of society. The only thing he has in his favor right now is his courage and his mouth that doesn’t know when to shut-up. Unfortunately, for Noel, Theoden is not impressed with him or his attitude.

He laughed and nodded. You’ve got spirit; I like that. It’s so much more fun when I break it. Make no mistake, little boy, you are about to enter a world of pain. I am going to make you suffer for every offense you’ve given me.” His cold gray eyes scanned over my naked body and I began to really feel uncomfortable. They lingered on my dick a little longer than I’d have liked then he gave me eye contact again. “I plan to enjoy your body from sundown to sunrise. You will submit to me. Your place is kneeling at my feet; you’ll soon learn that.”

When the worst thing to happen to Noel, in his mind…happens, he is pissed. Theodon, however, has no regrets with the abuse and treatment Noel is getting. In fact, he is just getting started. He puts Noel through horrendous torment, as well as, making him do unspeakable things to his best friend.

Theodon demands respect. He demands to be called Sir, Master, or My Lord. Any of the three will do but he WILL make Noel OBEY. If he doesn’t, well…I fear Noel will be truly fucked. I don’t think he realizes the danger and the horrifying predicament he has gotten into. At an alarming speed, he is beginning to accept the blood-curdling, chilling, reality of his fate. Whether he accepts defeat or not will be up to Noel. Whether his pain will eventually turn to pleasure, I’m not sure.

What I do know is I will continue reading this series to find out. Nicholas has written an infectious first book in the Chain of Darkness series. The novelette consists of approx. 36 pages but within those pages is a lot of information. I can’t tell yet how bad the situation is going to get. I have a feeling things are just starting to get interesting.

I’m already hooked and can’t wait to start on Punishment, Book 2, to see what lies ahead for Noel. Even though Theodon is a very evil vampire and thrives on handing out pain, I can’t help but feel like I’m going to love him before this over, lol. We’ll see if my prediction holds true. This is not a love story, yet anyway. I don’t know if it will be one as the series continues, but I am more than interested to find out. I thought the author executed the plot perfectly and it flowed seamlessly giving us the introduction to the context and the characters.

If you enjoy this type of reading, don’t get turned off by cringe-worthy dialogue, go over and one-click your copy, and let’s see what happens. I think you will be just as hooked as I am. Congratulations Nicholas, I believe you have created a very addicting series. Punishment, book 2, I have a feeling is going to be quite the trip. I can’t wait.

Bailey Bradford

Love begins at the most unexpected moment…

Carter Hausemann and Eddie Canales are embarking on a new romance. They know they’re compatible sexually. Now it’s time to find out if they’re meant for each other—and a third man, because Carter has always known what he’s needed. He’d just been afraid to reach for it.

Eddie will do whatever it takes to make Carter happy, and since he’s not the jealous type as long as he’s included, he’s more than willing to see if a relationship can work between three men. But first he and Carter need to concentrate on them.

Dare Habrock has the microbrew everyone’s talking about. He also has a secret that has kept him from having a lover in far too long.

When these three meet, they begin to understand that love flourishes in the most unexpected moments.

But someone is determined to destroy every bit of joy they have.

Reader Advisory: This books contains scenes of multiple male ménage, light BDSM and references to fisting.

Blurb: Carrying a tattoo on your skin no longer just comes with a risk of infection. Get the composition right, you have the latest mind-control drug on the market. It’s the sex-traders’ dream, or worst nightmare, depending on the concentrated dose of the ink—and just who’s wearing it.

For Kiyen, the ink means he’s able to strip raw the minds of the best and worst of society. He’s one of MI7’s top killers and never more driven to select and take down a target. For Falen, the ink has ensured he’s spent his early years as a willing sex slave and low-grade empath. Hiding out in a small town and trying to bury the needs running through his body, Fal’s hoping to stay under the radar of MI7 and their specialist killers.

But the ink itself has a mind of its own, wanting to ignite the natural dynamics driving a Dom and sub, so when Kiyen is forced into Fal’s small world, prejudice battles a pure need to touch. Only problem is: Kiyen’s on the run, and in a world where thought can be the worst crime of all, Fal’s in for a fight for his sanity to find out just what it is that’s making a young killer run for his life.

Reviewer: KathyMac

Review: Jack L Pyke has done it again with her newest release, Broken Ink. Every time I read one of her novels, I am blown away by her genius mind. She doesn’t write stories already told. I guarantee when you read one of her novels you will be taken to a place like no other. Have you ever read a book, that while it is very good, it’s still predictable? If you missed a page or two, you still wouldn’t have missed anything? I know I have, but those are not the stories told by Jack. If you skip a line or miss a page, you immediately go back to see what happened. Every word, every sentence, every paragraph, is vital and relevant to the story.

Broken Ink, for me, was a complex story. I had to re-read sections over so that I was positive I understood what was happening. That could be just me though because I need to understand every intricate nuance. With that in mind, this is not a story that you can breeze through or skip sections. This is not a fluffy romance story. This is mystery/suspense/edge of your seat/holding your breath, story that will pull you in and keep you completely invested. Jack writes with so much ingenuity, your imagination will be forced to take you to places unknown as you read her words.

The blurb summarizes well the basis of Broken Ink. It doesn’t, however, tell you that every emotion you have will be put to the test. From the very first chapter my heart was put on alert. Kiyen was only 5 years old when he was kidnapped by evil men. They tattooed his little body with ink containing mind-controlling drugs. He was to be sold to sex traders’ who could control the ink, by thought alone, to do anything they wanted. He was not the only child kidnapped for this insane experiment. But, he was one of only three who would be subjected to pain and turmoil, confusion and insecurities for the remainder of his childhood.

There was a small spark of hope when government officials broke in, known as MI7, and rescued the children. It was short-lived. They were not subjected any longer to the sex traffickers, but they were trained to become assassins against the worst of society. Just like clay in a potter’s hand, MI7 molded, formed, and created human weapons. But, they underestimated Kiyen, his control, and his abilities he mastered over the years.

At 18, Kiyen is on the run and in for the biggest fight of his life. His sanity and his freedom. He doesn’t remember the events that led up to and including his escape. He does know that his safety is an illusion and trusting anyone with his life will be a test of strength and endurance.

On the other side of town is a young man named Falen. He, too, was kidnapped and tattooed, at a different time and place. For 3 miserable and suffering years, he was a sex slave. Thanks to his father who never gave up the search for his only son, Falen was rescued. Allowing the ink to take control of his mind and body is something he fights every day. He was able to find ways to put his ink in a dormant existence. The ink is never completely at rest. It wants control and if Falen waivers or slacks from the restraints he has in place, the ink will win.

When Kiyen moves into a foster home across the street from Falen and their paths cross, I think they both know that their lives are about to change. The ink recognizes the other and their connection. Kiyen with his dominant personality and Falen for his natural tendencies towards submission, make them compatible. Trying to fight the ink and their own wants and desires will be harder than they think. They have a connection and they both want to explore the desires of their flesh and mind.

“Come on baby, show me what you’ve got.” Yen eased down to his side by Fal, then encouraged Fal to open his legs by scissoring one leg between his and pulling him open with gentle nudge of his ankle. The cocky smile he gave showed how Yen enjoyed just a touch of cock on hip frottage now he’d flattened his body against Fal’s side. As he let go of Fal’s hands and traced down his neck, over his abs, black vines followed his touch. It chased the light finger-play over the flat of Fal’s stomach, drawing slow circles as a gentle bite came at Fal’s nipple, just a tease, followed by a swipe of tongue.

“Please.” Fal lifted his hips slowly, wanting the touch lower.

Even though it feels like Kiyen and Falen are the only two in the world right now, danger is quickly catching up to them. There are many unknowns watching them from every angle. As Kiyen struggles to remember bits and pieces of his short-term memory loss, he must also be forever vigilant to his surroundings, the people looking for him, and the people right in front of him.

Betrayal runs deep and it is coming from all sides. When it catches up to Kiyen, he is forced to return to the place he was running from. The MI7 want answers and they don’t care who or what they hurt to obtain the information they seek. They implement some horrendous acts to bring Kiyen’s memories out in the open.

As the door started to shut, someone held him down by the shoulders as he was stripped, scissors coming in to take care of his T-shirt, jeans, and boxers. Left naked against the tile, the sound of hair clippers hit the air, the first drag came across his scalp, cutting off long black strands. His groin came next. First the clippers, then a razor as he was held down.

As he cried out, hands were bound above him, feet chained wide apart. Hot steam came next, racing around his body, his face, ass – the heat against his groin making him writhe and twist as he shouted out.

With guarded secrets, lies, and mistakes being exposed, Kiyen finds himself vulnerable and broken. Will these secrets finally push Kiyen to his breaking point? Will he be able to forgive those who betrayed him in the worst way? Kiyen is not an innocent, by any means, so the biggest test for him… will he be able to forgive himself?

It’s impossible for me to explain how complex and intricate this story line is. I have great respect and an abundance of admiration for Jack Pyke and her ability to twist and weave such fine intricate details into a plot. I am completely amazed at the depth and creativity she puts her characters through. More often than not, the perception of the story is really deception. The originality, the execution, and the elaborate details are some of the best I have ever read. There are many, many, twists and turns in Broken Ink. Every facet of the journey, whether it be Kiyen or Falen, will keep you intrigued and enamored as you read.

There is also enough mystery and suspense to keep you guessing to the final page. And, as the author works her creative genius to the edge, there will be some surprises that will have you shaking your head in disbelief.

In this story, there are parts that are beautiful and heartwarming, but also parts that are hard to read and even harder to fathom taking place. The world we live in has evil around every corner. Whether it is out in the open or hiding behind walls or back allies, it is there. Jack will expose some of these wrongdoings and yes…its fiction, but sex traffickers are out there, everyday, in the real world, kidnapping our children, selling them on the black market, all because of greed and the need for money and drugs. When I read Broken Ink, I can’t help but think about the children out there no one is looking for them. Or, maybe they are looking, but are so hidden they will never be found. As a mother, that scares the crap out of me.

My overall impression of Broken Ink: Highly recommended, dark yet captivating. It’s original and unique. Jack L Pyke is a masterful storyteller who will test your mind, break you down, and cleverly put you back together. She will take you, along with her characters, on a journey that will stick with you for a long time.

If you love this type of story, you will love Broken Ink. Grab your copy today – you won’t be sorry. Thank you Jack. Amazing as always.

Blurb: Brian and Dylan have been best friends for years. They have no secrets between them, except for the ones they’re keeping from each other.

When Dylan lets himself into Brian’s apartment to drop something off, it couldn’t be worse timing—for Brian. He’s tied himself up to play out a kidnapping fantasy. He’s mortified, but Dylan is intrigued. He even offers to help Brian out next time he has an urge to be tied up.

No. That’s all Brian can think. No way. But the idea of someone else being in control overwhelms his thoughts—and self-bondage is suddenly a pale substitute for the real thing. He gives Dylan permission, on a trial basis, and comes face to face with a side of Dylan he’s never seen before. A really hot side.

As their games pick up steam, so does their relationship, along with Brian’s courage to go after the things he wants. Like, Dylan.

It might be happily ever after, but there’s one secret left, and it could ruin everything.

Reviewer: Prime

Review: I’m going to start off saying: this book is not for everyone. It was, in fact, borderline to not being my type of book. However, it was so well written and the characters well-developed, that I kinda didn’t care about the fact that it was almost a little too much fetish for my liking.

Brian and Dylan are both equally interesting characters. Best friends, step-cousins and band mates, it seems like they should know everything about each other. But they don’t. Brian’s secret dominates the book, but when things start to stir, Dylan’s secret then comes into play. It’s a fairly simple story played out rather dramatically. This book is really different – much different from the usual BDSM erotica out there that I’ve read, anyway.

Furthermore, if you’re looking for romance, you won’t be getting it here either, at least for a majority of the book. The, approximately, first 250 pages of this book is basically fetish scenes between Dylan and Brian with very little in the way of actual plot. The plot line comes in the last quarter of the book and it is quite pleasing. In a story where a majority of the content is not in the actual plot, it is quite well-played out.

This was a 4-heart book. However, I downgraded it to a 3.5-heart because particularly at the end I really wanted a different POV. The whole book from Brian’s POV (though not in first person). One thing that found I really wanted to know Dylan’s thoughts, what was going on in his head and what made him tick. I think that would have been awesome.

I have one specific warning to make for people: if you have a severe phobia of clowns (clourophobia), I don’t recommend a particular stretch of them book (pages 197-232), where there is an intense act out of Dylan’s fetish which also features a clown and the creepy clown music (aka Enter the Gladiator).
To end on a happy note, some people may enjoy references to Brit Rock, including Joy Division and The Verve. It’s good to hear from characters that are meant to have a phenomenal music career recording, touring and the like – kinda gives them some credit.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Brand, a servant, seemed like a very sincere and honest man. Trent, a baseball player, seemed insecure at times but strong and sure at other times. They made a great couple, seemed to get along well, and had many things in common with each other.

I was highly upset by things that happened to Brand against his will by others. I felt it was wrong and demeaning. But was glad that Trent took charge of the situation and brought those to justice who were involved.

This was not a type of book I normally read, as I prefer more story than sex. But it was an o.k. story. I didn’t really care for Trent sharing Brand with others but that was what the author wanted.
This book had a lot of hot sex scenes in it with Trent and Brand as well as others having sex with Brand. A lot more than I was used to. It felt like half the book was sex scenes. Good read.
