Presley Flynn is ripe to experience her secret fantasies . . . and Dmitri Pratt wants nothing more than to fulfill them. Once inside the elite Club Sin in Las Vegas, Presley is nervous but excited—and determined to surrender to her every desire. Dmitri is her Master, and his touch is like fire. With each careful, calculated caress, he unleashes her wildest inhibitions, giving her unimagined pleasure.

Presley is different than the other submissives Dimitri has mastered. The BDSM lifestyle is new to her, and so are the games they play at Club Sin. From the start, Presley stirs emotions in him far beyond the raw purity between a dom and the perfect sub. For the ecstasy they share goes beyond the dungeon igniting a passion that claims the very depths of the heart.

My Review:

A touching, erotic, fun and satisfying light BDSM read. I think Stacey did an amazing job (as usual) with allowing us to REALLY get into the pages and…feel. A great read for all fans of the genre :)

Presley is a bit lost. Not in a very negative way, mainly in a sense of her preferences in the bedroom. She has no experience in the BDSM scene, but believes it just might be what she craves, desires and possibly needs. Now she’s exploring…

Dmitri is the founder/owner and one of three Doms running his intimate BDSM club. He’s successful, wealthy, good looking and just about to find something (well someone) he never thought he’d have. His ideal submissive.

I enjoyed the build, the entire story; characters back grounds and the relationship between the two main characters. I look forward to what the author will bring us in the next of the series. Claimed is an excellent start! I know I’m hooked!

 Erotica Romance ~ Light BDSM ~ Rubenesque / BBW ~ Regency

Historical ~ May-Dec ~ Novel Length, approx. 85,000 words.

Leagues apart in society, they can have only one possible future, that of protector and mistress...

Jeanne Darling spent her adolescence coping with her father's increasing illness and insanity. Left alone by his death and plunged into poverty, she did what she had to do to survive. Now still reeling from the overwhelming physical and emotional demands her father's care required, she values her peace above all. She doesn't need anyone or anything except her writing and the safety of her rented garret chamber. She's about to rise above her past and create financial independence for herself. What she absolutely does not need is the mysterious and possibly insane stranger who walks into the coffee shop and into her life.

David Somerville, the Duke of Hartley, has known pain and betrayal from the people closest to him. Born to privilege, power and wealth, and filled with idealistic vision for humane change, he gives all of himself to his political career. He keeps his life circumspectly under control. But one day, all the carefully arranged threads of his life unravel and his life intersects with Jeanne's in a way that challenges his view of everything he thinks he knows.


Leagues apart in society, they can have only one possible future, that of protector and mistress. And neither wants to risk deeper connection. However, their overwhelming attraction and resulting sexual games provide them with pleasures neither of them has ever known. Will their sensual journey lead them to discover a more emotionally profound side to domination and submission? Or will their seemingly insurmountable differences and passionate personal goals drive them apart?

Reader Warning: HER MYSTERY DUKE is a work of historical erotic romance. It is not meant to be a guide to or an accurate portrayal of modern BDSM lifestyles or practices. This story contains graphic descriptions of sexual acts and frank sexual language. It also contains light bondage, anal play, sexual toys, cunnilingus, fellatio, masturbation, voyeurism and spanking. Please be aware, there are no scenes of ménage or sexual sharing in this story.

My Review:

 A very entertaining, surprising, touching and addictive erotic historical romance that even readers that do not enjoy the historical genre much, or even at all will fully enjoy! Especially with the perfect touch of BDSM that Natasha has wound in the pages. Erotic indeed!

Jeanna is a very independent woman. She had to be due to her father’s illness. She writes (among other things) to live and survive. She’s been alone and fine with it for quite a while. That is until the day she meets a mysterious stranger that thinks she is another and shows her things she finds her body yearns for.

David is a handsome, intelligent Duke that luckily was in the right place at a very needy time and happy beyond words with his savior. There are quite a few things going on in his life that prevents him from taking on a woman full time or even considering marriage. But for some odd reason, he cannot picture his life without Jeanna in it. The question is, how?

Together there is a passion ignited like no other and an amazing completion that is felt throughout the pages. As well as an ending that will leave you with the very happiest of tears. I LOVE Natasha’s writing! So vivid and exciting it keeps you turning the pages until, before you know it. It’s the end and you’re left wanting more in the very best of ways ;)

Extended Description:

Ryce Leon is a Master of exceptional experience, introducing the women of Rannoch to his rare skills. Unbeknownst to them, he hides a tragic secret - one that forces him to move from place to place, never putting down roots for fear of discovery. He has learned the terrible price of love and will not suffer such loss again. When the dying Chrisselle is thrust upon him, he is determined to rid himself of her as soon as she recovers. However, the Scottish waif’s brave spirit and curious nature eventually break down his defenses. It is clear that fate has brought them together, but Ryce knows from experience that fate can be a cruel mistress.

Adult Material (18+)

Warning: This book contains sexually explicit content and scenes that some readers may find objectionable.

My Review:Another great, exciting and original BDSM read by Red Phoenix! I’ve read historical BDSM a few times before from various authors, have read many of Red’s works and have to say none of them were quite like this one (which is great!) To put a description to my feelings on this read and give you a better idea of what to expect the words that come to mind are stimulating, unpredictable, surprising, sensual and touching. A definite must read for fans of the genre, whether you like historical or not, you will enjoy His Scottish Pet.

Ryce is not from Scotland, but finds himself there trying to rid himself of haunting memories. No one knows the real Ryce but Ryce himself and he’ll keep it that way for as long as his lives. He prefers to keep to himself, hold his secrets deep within and not arouse any suspicions. When he meets Chrisselle the darkness within him begins to brighten. He’s a stranger to these emotions she brings forth and does not welcome them into his life. He’s an alpha hot Dom that will always leave any subbie panting for more, but can he resist what fate has tossed in his path?

I cannot wait to see where Red takes us in the next book. The ending (while satisfying), left a lot to the imagination; I know, many thoughts have been running through my mind since I read the last sentence and I’m hoping that Ryce and Chrisselle both get a VERY happily ever after :)

Character interview with Ryce Leon from His Scottish Pet: Dom of the Ages

Are we ready to get to know Ryce Book Junkies? Ready or not, here we go!

RBJ: How old are you exactly (no trimming of years, we want the truth)? 

Ryce: At the point you enter my life, I had been alive for over 400 years. Some of you may be thinking “around five lifetimes” however, you would off by an additional five. We did not have the extended lives you now enjoy. Death was a constant back then for everyone but me.

 

RBJ: You speak to Eventide as if he is a person. What's the deal with him and is he as old as you?

Ryce: My horse Eventide is one of those rare creatures – an old soul encased in fur. He is a friend in every way, intellect, heart, loyalty… no different than a man. Unfortunately for this Englishman, he is not affected with the curse and shall enjoy a normal existence.

RBJ: Are there any others like you?

Ryce: An excellent question.

RBJ: What do you have against the Scottish brogue?  

Ryce: Although it certainly has its distinctive charm, I find it tedious to translate slang. Far easier to demand my slaves and pets speak my naïve tongue. I am the Master.

RBJ: Now to the down and dirty that we got to know you a little bit. What is your favorite disciplinary tool to use on your women? What is your favorite tool to use to pleasure women? 

Ryce: I prefer the bullwhip. It demands my concentration. You see, I enjoy using an instrument that has the potential to main and kill. I can lick your skin with a gentle caress or strike with deadly vengeance. The power is mine.

RBJ: Have you ever imagined yourself being dominated? 

Ryce: Being dominated sexually? No. However, I do enjoy a battle of wits. Win and I may let you lay a hand on me, but expect settlement afterwards. I always have the last word.

RBJ: How long have you been a Dom? 

Ryce: My Dominant tendencies found their roots in Japan. An enchanting girl there had much to teach me and that will be the next story I share. I have spent lifetimes building upon those lessons.
 

RBJ: Where did you live at the time of the curse? 

Ryce: It will be interesting when I can share more. I will say this, at the moment in my life I thought I had been given the greatest gift known to man. Time has gone out of her way to prove me wrong.

RBJ: Do you think you'll fall in love again? Or just kept it casual for another hundred years or so?? 

Ryce: Would I choose to love again? Never. It is not worth the pain for either party. However, it appears fate enjoys playing games. I resent her devilish ways. For if fate controls me, what is the point of my existence?

RBJ: Can your curse be passed on? If so, how? 

Ryce: God’s teeth! Why would I pass on this curse on to another? Foolish mortal.

RBJ: Will you visit the blog again someday soon and tell us about some of your adventures? 

Ryce: Gladly. A Master is always a gentleman but once the invitation is given, you will find there is no turning back.

 An enchanting eBook debut about a world where your fantasies come true and nothing is quite what it seems. Come on in to realize your heart’s darkest desire...Virginal twenty-two-year-old Mary has just inherited a sex shop in Florida from her mother. After a long drive from California, she arrives at her deceased mother’s house only to be confronted immediately with two equally sexy strangers: the strong, silent John and the irreverent, taunting Max. She’s innocent, almost completely untouched, but feels a completely uncharacteristic pull to each man. Shocking even herself, she realizes it’s not an unwelcome desire.

A quick, fun and sexy read that left me hanging (UGH!) It’s really a good read that leaves the reader very curious as to what is to come and keeps you turning the pages until before you know it, you’re at the end and looking for much more! Erotic romance readers will without a doubt enjoy this first installment of the Fetish Box :)

Mary has never met her biological mother but has learned that she’s inherited two businesses and a home. When she arrives to where her new home and businesses are located, she learns she has inherited much more than what the lawyer has told her. It’s almost like she now has a new family and a whole new life completely opposite of what she’s accustomed to. But she is taking it all in stride and learning a lot, both about her mother and herself.

I’d say there’s a touch of a love triangle happening here (maybe more of a lust triangle, it’s too soon to say), but with the way it was left off, I’m not absolutely positive. John and Max are also Mary’s business partners and both seem to desire her, one more than the other. Mary on the other hand, desire’s them both. Only time (and the next book of the series) will tell what’s to become of them.

 There are things in bassist Jace Seymour’s past that he is unwilling to share with anyone. To cover his guilt and anguish, he seeks dominatrix Mistress V (Aggie) to temporarily placate his inner turmoil.

Aggie doesn’t have much use for men–besides the power rush she gets when they’re begging for mercy at her feet–but Jace isn’t like her usual clients. His cool defiance and unexpected dominance in the bedroom drives her to distraction and quickly steals her heart.

When circumstances threaten Jace’s position in Sinners, Aggie must help him regain his rightful place in the band while showing him that time and love can heal all wounds.

My Review:
 I adore the Sinners, the series and the author along with her writing, they all rock! I started off reading the series a bit backwards, but find I’m still in awe of all of these amazingly hot and talented men and not even a teeny bit lost. This is one of those stories that is so wonderfully written that you feel as if you are standing right there with everything happening around you, experiencing every single detail. A definite MUST READ for all erotic romance fans :)

Jace is the quiet one of the group and we all know what is said about the quiet ones… That’s right, look out! He has a very haunting past; this past has brought him to desire... pain with his pleasure. He thinks it’s abnormal, but he finds out once he meets an amazing dominatrix, that he’s very normal and he’s falling very fast for her and her dominating ways.

Aggie is a beautiful, talented and amazing woman that knows what she wants in life and goes for it full force. She’s made a great life for herself and fully enjoys living it. Not one for relationships or settling down, she finds herself stunned the way her mind (and heart) venture toward forbidden grounds when she sets her eyes on Jace. What is it about him that sets her aflame?

Hot Ticket is a definite roller coaster of emotions, along with a ton of fun and even a fright or two for you to experience. The antics, the chemistry and the sex are all amazing! Jace and Aggie is one hot couple to get to know! I CANNOT wait to get my hands on the rest in the series!

Goodreads Blurb: When Mark Moore arrives in Nassau to conduct a corporate training meeting, his only expectation is a week of professional and personal enjoyment in an island paradise. Since stepping down from his senatorial duties to have more time for his pop star daughter, Dasha, he's liked having free time for projects like this--except for the moments when the memories attack of a love long lost, buried six years ago.

He never expects the sweet surprise of Rose Fabian, a student who soon becomes much more. Her kisses and her passion are a balm for his tattered soul--and her submission reawakens every Dominant instinct in his body. But Rose carries emotional scars of her own, wounds that are worsened by desiring Mark: an older man with social standing and integrity that will only be ruined by her influence. Only in finally surrendering to their love can she find the courage to believe that their future will be written in permanent marker.

Note:This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: BDSM theme and elements

My Review: An insanely intense (in a great way), emotional and erotic BDSM read that will leave you wanting more of the story, characters and the authors writing. Permanent Marker is a definite MUST READ to all fans of the genre. Especially those that enjoy an amazing build to a soul deep relationship.

Rosa is a beautiful, intelligent woman that has very little self-confidence. It’s due to the fact that she’s been put down by those that mean the world to her for a majority of her life. Her confidence begins to change for the better once she meets Mark. He teaches her many amazing things, most of them about herself.

Mark is one intense alpha male/Dom the leaves no room for argument in any given situation. He lost the love of his life many years ago and has just started to live again, to feel. He’s not looking to replace what he has long lost, but when he lays his eyes on Rosa, he feels an instant attraction, a pull and many other feelings that he never thought to feel again.

I plan to read EVERYTHING this author releases and has released. I absolutely love her writing style. I was literally pulled into the story as if I was one of the characters and was not released until the very end. This is one of those stories that stays with you and wants to be reread so you can experience it all over again :)

Goodreads Blurb: An Inside Out novella...

The secret life of Rebecca and the men who have seduced her.
These are the journals Sara never sees, but you the reader, will!

More details!

The journals read like stories and begin the first time Rebecca visits the gallery in the INSIDE OUT TRILOGY. You will meet Mark, Chris, Ava, Amanda, Ricco, and all the series characters as she does AND there are tons of clues to what happens in BEING ME in the first 4 serials. They are woven within the story ready for your discovery, as is Rebecca's dark, erotic journey.

My Review: A teasing, very short, hot and mysterious read that any erotic romance reader will fully enjoy!

Rebecca’s Lost Journals Volume 1 gives us the beginning of back ground information that leads to Lisa Renee Jones’s Inside out Trilogy. We get introduced to the real life of the mysterious Rebecca, her introduction to being a submissive, her real life experience, jobs and her Master all direct from Rebecca herself instead of being told by another (as it is in the Inside Out Trilogy). The REAL mystery still stands… Who is her master?

I look forward to reading the rest of the journals to see where everything goes. There’s really not much more I can say without giving anything away :)

Goodreads Blurb: Keep your friends close and your enemies closer...preferably in bed. That's always been Kingsley Edge's strategy with his associate, the notorious New York dominatrix Nora Sutherlin. But with Nora away in Kentucky, now it's Kingsley's chance to take her place at the feet of the only man he's ever wanted -- Søren, Nora's on-again, off-again lover -- until a new threat from an old enemy forces him to confront his past.

Wes Railey is still the object of Nora's tamest yet most maddening fantasies, and the one man she can't forget. He's young. He's wonderful. He's also thoroughbred royalty and she's in "his" world now. But Nora is no simpering Southern belle, and her dream of fitting into Wesley's world is perpetually at odds with her dear Søren's relentlessly seductive pull.

Two worlds of wealth and passion call to her and whichever one Nora chooses, it will be the hardest decision she will ever have to make... unless someone makes it for her...

My Review: Oh my! This was one dark, erotic and gripping read that would not allow me to put it down for even a minute! It was confusing at first, but came together pretty well as I got further and further in. I’m unsure if it’s because this is the third book of The Original Sinners series or not. But anyone considering reading it will find themselves engrossed and understanding all that’s going on and WOW is there a lot! I think anyone that enjoys the erotic genre with BDSM, M/M, M/F/M, M/F, some violence and a ton of passion will fully enjoy The Prince.

 

The story goes back and forth among characters as well as back and forth between the past and present surrounding the lives of the characters. Starting off with Kingsley and Soren in their younger years and how they very first met. Their story intrigued me to no end. Their story is so very original and dark that I felt myself strongly drawn to them as a pair, with their secrets and their very special relationship. They were everything to one another. Friends, enemies, brothers, lovers; there’s no direct definition for what is between them. One thing I can say is it’s very strong and passionate, from the beginning on to the point where it left off.

 

Nora is part of Soren and Kingston’s life for part of their past and some of the present. Most parts that Nora is a part of in the story are about her and the lovely, handsome, warm hearted, generous, gentle (I can go on and on about him, he was just that amazing), Wesley. They start off as great friends and grow to want more. There’s a lot preventing anything from progressing between this man and woman, a main factor being that when they met, Wesley was still considered a minor and Nora was all woman. But with patience, friendship, time and understanding it grows in to so much more.

 

 

All-in-all, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. It was very exciting and shocking. But a couple of things bothered me and lingered in my mind. One was that Soren was not a vocal part as all of the other main characters were. I understand that he is a man of mystery, but it made it feel… incomplete not to have his view points as we had all of the others. And the ending! What a cliff hanger-lol- but it sure left me wanting more!

Goodreads Blurb:

 Haunted for years by dreams of a savage, amber eyed Dominant with lips so enticing my soul ached in frustration and lust. None of the Dominants at Genesis, my local BDSM club ever stirred me in such blistering ways. While I tried to fill my submissive desires vicariously through interactions at the club, I attempted to convince myself it was enough. But it wasn’t. My dream Dom made certain I hungered for more.

Forced beyond what I could bear, my passion and frustration exploded. I threw in the towel, determined to stop chasing a dream and gave up completely on finding submissive surrender. But fate intervened when two gunshots split the night. Forced to confront my desires and insecurities, I was shocked to realize that my dreams may have held a deeper meaning. Were they compelling me to finally embrace my submission?

Oh my! What an exciting, sensual, emotional and touching read! I enjoyed it so much I read it in one sitting. Embracing my Submission has a little bit of everything; mystery, romance, BDSM, M/M scenes, action, fun and even a small touch of paranormal elements that will have any erotic reader addicted from the very start!

Emerald is a beautiful submissive that’s yet to have been claimed by a Dom. She’s been haunted by dreams of her perfect Dom for years, and all she can do is wait it out. Getting too frustrated by watching all of the happy pairs in the club and not having someone she could call her own, she wants to call it quits! Her dream Dom is just that, a dream. One that she now feels will never come true.

There was a ton of character growth by the end so much so it made me proud to know the character that is Emerald. I hope Jenna plans to give us more of Emerald and her dream Dom in the next of the series. I know I’d LOVE to see how they progress :)
