Review: Oh Come All Ye Kinky Anthology
Oh Come All Ye Kinky Anthology December 3, 2012 BDSM Erotic Riptide Publishing Reviewed by Mandi The Oh Come All Ye Kinky anthology definitely lives up to its title. There is kinkiness galore! Peens get wrapped in snowman paper, butts get whipped with candy canes and other body parts get wrapped with Christmas lights. As you will see, some stories worked much better than others, but overall this is a pretty fun collection. Tree Topper by Jane Davitt Martin could still Continue Reading

Although every love scene is absolutely smokin’ hot, they are vanilla partners. No whips, chains, bondage, roleplaying… …Basically, they’re not into any of the kink or BDSM themes we explored (and will continue to explore) in our “Vegas Top Guns” series. What we didn’t realize when beginning to write Midnight Clear was Continue Reading

Review: Acceleration by Amelia C. Gormley
Acceleration by Amelia C. Gormley (Impulse #2) M/M Contemporary November 30, 2012 Self Published Reviewed by Mandi A little while back I accepted a review request for a self published m/m romance, Inertia.

One of the reasons this story drew me in is that Derrick is a blue-collared handyman who is a Continue Reading
