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

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

Review: Not Until You by Roni Loren
Review: Not Until You (A Loving You on the Edge Novel) by Roni Loren Released: November 4, 2014 Erotic Romance/BDSM Berkley Trade Reviewed by Sheena Favorite Quote: "Right. Yes. You're the Big Bad Wolf, and I'm innocent Little Red Riding Hood. Got it. Let me go find my freaking picnic basket." Roni Loren is a new-to-me author. I didn't know what to expect and I went into this novel expecting a sexy little romp and enough "dark, dominant alpha dude awakens sexuality of wide eyed Continue Reading

Review: The Billionaire Submissive by Joely Sue Burkhart
The Billionaire Submissive by Joely Sue Burkhart Erotic Contemporary Released: June 17, 2014 Samhain Reviewed by Mandi This book has a really strong start but I had some problems with it after a while ( (pretty sure I've said that in 1,000 reviews). When the author sent me the review request, I couldn't help but be intrigued with a billionaire submissive hero. Donovan Morgan may be wealthy beyond all imagination, but he isn't pleased sexually. He craves to be dominated, but hates going Continue Reading

Review: Friday Afternoon by Sylvia Ryan
Friday Afternoon by Sylvia Ryan Released: September 2, 2013 Erotic Lyrical Press Reviewed by Mandi Blurb: Before kids and the responsibility of life, Levi and I shared a spontaneous, erotic, and deliciously deviant marriage. Years transformed what we had into something comfortable and worn. It hurts me to think his desire for me has cooled. I miss that look of his. Slightly evil and totally hot, like he wanted to devour me. Haven’t seen it in ages. When I first married Mia, she Continue Reading
Review: Unbound by Cara McKenna
Unbound by Cara McKenna Released: October 16, 2013 Contemporary Romance Penguin Reviewed by Mandi I’ve said this countless times on this blog but I love Cara McKenna’s voice. She always gives me something different in her stories, and many times they are filled with characters who are not super rich or have wealthy backgrounds or families. They are just people, usually one of them struggling with something quite dark, and we get to see them fall in love and realize what they are Continue Reading
