October 5, 2014 by Mandi

Hero: Jonah Briggs. Owner of a BDSM club. Likes to be called Master. Heroine: Caroline Preston. A journalist who puts her nose up to BDSM.

Top Ten Favorite Sex Scenes of 2013

December 31, 2013 by Mandi

My favorite sexy books of 2013. Explicit naughtiness below. In no particular order… Beyond Control by Kit Rocha – Dallas gives me the naughty shivers. And Lex is awesome.
