Oasis
(Inferno 02)
by
J.R. Gray
I worshiped at the altar of pain, surviving on avoidance, physical to avoid the mental, anything to forget what I’d lost. When Remi walked through the door, I felt like I’d paid my price for the passage through hell and been granted a taste of Eden. Remi was my oasis and I was going to drown myself in him.
But life takes with no remorse and everything was a mirage. The past won’t stay dead and a cruel phantom comes to destroy our happiness. The more we need each other the further apart our lives drive us. I’m torn between my perfect past and the hope of an oasis, and either choice demands I cut out part of my soul.

Forsaken
by
J.R. Gray
Titus has lived and breathed religion his entire life, tucked away from the rest of the world in a compound in northern Wyoming. He’s destined to be the next leader of the church, deemed so by the Prophet.
God spoke and with His word He created. But God made a mistake. Titus isn’t worthy. He was born sick and it’s solidified when he rescues the most beautiful man he’s ever seen.
Torn between fidelity to his faith or his soul, Titus must reconcile the two parts of himself before he’s discovered hiding among the chosen.
Title: Illicit Activity Series: Bound, #3 Author: J. R. Gray Genre: BDSM Length: Novella (56 pages) Publisher: Evernight Publishing (December 5th, 2014) Heat Level: Moderate Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥5 Hearts Blurb: The Christmas season is fast approaching. Jesse and George try to keep their connection alive with stolen late night dinners and secret meetings, which never seem to be enough.
Zac doesn’t take no for an answer, and has set his sights on George’s slave Elliot as his newest conquest. Determined to see Elliot and bring him some holiday spirit, Zac starts a battle of wits with George. But will George be able to outsmart Zac, and keep him away from Elliot, for long?
In this novella, we get a closer glimpse of the pain and agony George and Jesse were going through when Jesse’s wife was insisting on keeping them separated. The emotions were off the charts and so hard to read. It made me physically ache for them.
Kennedy’s pain from finally losing Jesse was bought more to life here too. She actually finds comfort and a good friend in Zac, Jesse’s brother and I really think he’s what helps her start healing.
We also got a closer look at Zac. He is awesome! He has absolutely no filter and pretty much says and does what he wants (which right now, and hopefully permanently, is Elliott). I absolutely love him and Elliott together – they balance each other well and maybe Zac will get Elliott back to life and get him to live a little more and once and for all protect him from his awful father.
All this book did is wet my appetite for book 4! I want it right now!

Title: Breach of Contract Series: Bound, #2 Author: J.R. Gray Genre: Erotica/BDSM Length: Novel (274 pages) Publisher: Evernight Publishing (November 6th, 2014) Heat Level: Explicit Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥4 Hearts Blurb: With the legal trouble behind them, Daniel Caplin and Rafael Argon are ready to settle into a low-key D/s relationship, but life is unrelenting, when blackmail shatters their illusion of happily ever after. Pictures from one of the Rafael’s public scenes instill fear into his new submissive, Daniel, acting as a wedge driving the new couple apart.
The building peril in George’s community weighs heavy on his shoulders as he struggles to find the culprit—all while hiding his feelings for his new house guest. Jesse is torn between ending his marriage, picking up a rebound he should have left fifteen years in the past, and the dangling carrot of a possible relationship with a man. He is forced to fight for what he wants most, a leap he may be too chicken to take.
In the sequel to Legally Bound, George battles to take down an unknown enemy, while watching helplessly as those he cares for are broken beyond repair. Can Rafael and Daniel rebuild their trust after it’s broken with lies? Can George hold it together as Jesse is ripped from his life?
Be Warned: BDSM, m/m sex, paddling, caning, cock cages, public exhibition
Product Link: http://www.evernightpublishing.com/breach-of-contract-by-j-r-gray/ Reviewer: Tina Review: In the first book, I really didn’t like George until the very end. In this book, you get a much deeper dive into all things George. And I will say my mind has totally been changed and I am now a George fan. He and Jesse together are perfect. Jesse is the only person in these books that has been honest and has ‘stood up to him’. George loves that Jesse treats him as an equal. George really opens up to Jesse in this book and becomes vulnerable which makes him more human. Their love story has the potential to be life altering.
Elliott (one of George’s slaves) plays a bigger role in this book and there was a bit of foreshadowing for the future of this series I’m hoping.
I still love Daniel and Jesse’s banter…
(Jesse to Daniel) “Sounds like gibberish to me, please explain in my native tongue, not freaky speak.”
(Daniel) “What does asking nicely involve?” He shot Jesse a look. In his wildest imagination, he couldn’t imagine how the two of them were friends, or what the daunting king of the underground was like in private. (Jesse) “I’m guessing me on my knees begging, but let’s be honest, I’m not above it. I’ve done worse for a bendy straw.”
These 2 really make this series for me. I still don’t really like Rafael. I thought maybe that would change once he and Daniel were free of the mess from book 1 but I still don’t. He doesn’t seem to be great guy and I think Daniel deserves someone who treats him better.
There was more of the S&M of BDSM in this book which I don’t care for but I was able to gloss over that and still keep up with the story ok. It was pretty critical to the story toward the end of the book so it’s hard to begrudge it.
And of course, the ending leaves me not so patiently waiting for book 3, which has the potential to be the best of the series.

Blurb: The last thing Daniel, a hard-working public defender, expected to see the morning after a one night stand was his hook-up staring back at him from the wrong side of the law. Assigned to work his case, Daniel vows to keep things professional with Rafael but has a hard time controlling his craving for dominance, the control, and the connection they shared. Rafael, a paid Dominant in the Chicago underworld, has been dealing with a cop problem for far too long. Used to sex with no emotion, he’s entranced with Daniel’s submission, his innocence, and…could there be something more? Can Daniel clear Rafael’s name, keeping him out of jail and in his life, with the odds, a cop, and the mounting evidence against them?
Review: This was like a legal/BDSM comedy of errors. The lawyer who tricked with a Dom unknowingly, and then sees his one night stand in court the next day. Even though he knows there’s a legal conflict, Daniel and Rafael are like teenagers in heat and can’t keep their hands of each other.
For me, most BDSM books are pretty heavy, lots of psychological content and for good reason, dominance, and submission is a physical yes, but mostly psychological practice. So I was a bit turned off that the characters took it rather lightly, and sometimes almost comically, Daniel jumping in to sample the lifestyle and submit like it was nothing big.
I do like the fun sexual heat between Rafael and Daniel, and the humorous relationship that Daniel has with his co-worker and superior Jesse.
Through the legal battles, BDSM scenes, and suspenseful set-up’s by the cop trying to put Rafael in jail, all that drama was overshadowed by two side characters. Jesse and “the King,” George, totally captured my attention. I like the strangeness of the King’s personality as a top Dom, his attire, his entire persona and the way he reacts to Jesse. Jesse, forever making jokes about avoiding his wife, puts on a pretty straight front, until the end of the story as we see him react to George.
I’m glad Daniel and Rafael get their HEA, but I was totally grabbed by Jesse and George and look forward to reading their story!
