Sanctuary by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Beards and Bondage #2) Released: August 29, 2017 Erotic BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I quite enjoyed Haven, book one in this series earlier this year (both are stand alones) and Sanctuary was a hit for me as well. As in Haven, this book starts with quite a suspenseful scene. Our heroine, Liz, an attorney, who goes home one day after a long day of work, to find a man in her apartment, waiting to kill her.

Review: Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Haven by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Beards & Bondage #1) Released: April 26, 2017 BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi How can I pass up a series titled, Beards & Bondage?? What I liked most about this story is while it is erotic, and there is a beard, and there is some bondage, their courtship is presented so well. And the trauma and recovery the heroine goes through in this book felt so realistic. Claudia is from the city but goes on a camping trip with her brother but they run Continue Reading

Review: Absolve Me by Morgaine Cameron
Absolve Me by Morgaine Cameron BDSM Released: March 20, 2017 Carina Press Reviewed by Mandi I like the taboo nature of priest romance books (I recommend you check out Amber Belldene's series) and this one throws in a few extra kinks. Liza is a sex therapist/surrogate. I had never heard of a sex surrogate before this book, and I learned that in some cases she actually has sex with her clients to help them through issues they may be having. She can also help couples who are having Continue Reading

Review: True North by Tamsen Parker
True North by Tamsen Parker (The Compass #4) Released: July 25, 2016 Erotic BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi Favorite Quote: There's a reason I've been kind of an asshole my whole life, and it's because it's way easier than being a good person. This Compass series has stretched my boundaries in a good way. Heavy on BDSM, the previous books have focused on India and her now husband Cris. Overall I enjoyed them and when I heard Slade was getting a book - a man who is not presented Continue Reading
