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

The Harder He Falls by Lynda Aicher (Kick #1) Released: June 7, 2016 M/M Erotic Romance (Light BDSM) Loveswept Reviewed by Mandi Expert whitewater-rafting guide Grady Kelley lives for that rush of adrenaline: at work, as the newest employee of a Portland-based outdoor-adventure sports company, and off the river, where liaisons with anonymous men keep him satisfied.

Review: Sated by Rebekah Weatherspoon
Sated by Rebekah Weatherspoon BDSM Released: April 28, 2015 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I saw Courtney Milan tweet positively about Sated, and she linked to a B+ review over at Smart Bitches. I'm not super into BDSM, although I've read my fair share of it. This one intrigued me because I saw the hero and heroine were more on the geeky side so I decided to try it. I read it in one sitting and had a smile on my face. Keira has had bad luck in the dating department. She is super Continue Reading
Review: Giving It Up by Audra North
Giving It Up by Audra North (Pushing The Boundaries #1) Contemporary Romance January 12, 2016 Samhain Reviewed by Helyce If Beatrice Lawrence didn't know better, she'd swear the universe is out to make sure she is totally, completely screwed. It's not enough her family's restrictive rules drove her away from home at a young age. She had to go and fall for a guy whose mere presence heats her body like Death Valley. Except he seems to harbor a special brand of dislike, just for her. He even Continue Reading
Review: Break Me Down by Roni Loren
Review: Break Me Down (Loving on the Edge #8.5) by Roni Loren Contemporary/Erotic Romance Released: October 27, 2015 InterMix Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "You're a bossy thing." "Hello, Kettle, you're black. Love, Pot." "Fine, point taken." I like to think that my dabbles into the world of BDSM kink has given me enough background and perspective to appreciate a dirty little dom/sub tale. This was not that tale. It feels almost blasphemous to not enjoy a Loren novel. Continue Reading

Elan Klein is the neighborhood butcher whose intimidating size and gruff manner hint at a deliciously Continue Reading
Review: Uncharted Territory by Tamsen Parker
Uncharted Territory by Tamsen Parker (The Compass #.5) Released: June 15, 2015 Erotic BDSM Self Published Reviewed by Mandi I enjoyed the first two books in this series. I don't read a ton of BDSM, but India's story and her eventual HEA with Cris is done well. And I love her relationship with her BFF Rey, who is the one who first got her into the scene, takes care of her and is probably the most important person in her life. Uncharted is a prequel - it starts when India first goes Continue Reading
