Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

His need to possess her is non-negotiable.

Story Brooks’ fiancé just called off their wedding two weeks before the happy day. As if that isn't bad enough, her semi-estranged father, an infamous NYPD hostage negotiator, has suffered a heart attack. Not wanting to examine her lack of emotion over the broken engagement, she hops on a plane to reconnect with her father before it’s too late.

Playboy hostage negotiator Daniel Chase has never, not once, been refused by a woman, so when a debate over hospital snack foods with a delectable kindergarten teacher ends in flat-out rejection, he makes it his mission to seduce her. His only obstacle? She’s the daughter of his mentor who implicitly forbade Daniel from pursuing her.

Despite her father’s warnings and Daniel’s troubled past, Daniel and Story can’t resist their intense attraction to one another. But when the reason for her fiancé’s abrupt wedding cancellation comes to light, can Story and Daniel's already forbidden relationship survive?

Darkfallen's thoughts:

 

You will need a few cold showers just to get through this!!!

Story isn't having the best week. First her fiance breaks off the engagement and then her father has a heart attack. So she packs a bag and heads to New York to see her dad in the hospital. Which is where she meets Daniel. He tries to pick her up but she's not having it after the week she's having. Little does she know that she can't escape him, being that he is her dads protege and all. That and it looks like her hostage negotiator of a father is pulling more strings than anyone knows about...

First of all this story was amazing! I laughed out loud countless times. And it is smoking hot. Like H.O.T. hot! I just couldn't get enough of these two. The chemistry between Story and Daniel is undeniable. Combine the hotness, the laughter, and a twist at the end that will leave you gasping, this book rocks! I can't wait to read more books by Tessa Bailey!

Party Of Three by Daire St. Denis: Review

Party of Three
By Daire St. Denis
Expected Publication May 28th 2012 by Carina Press
Pre-order your copy at Amazon, B&N, or your local indie today!
Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

Determined to end a long dry spell, Tina is thwarted by her best friend, Des, who scares off the only eligible guy at their party. But Des more than makes up for it when she and her boyfriend, Josh, invite Tina to their own intimate celebration. The encounter awakens cravings Tina didn't even know she had. She's intrigued when the couple asks her to join them for two days of sun, sand and steamy sex in Santa Barbara. She should say no. But she doesn't...
The erotic weekend is beyond amazing. But there's something deeper developing between the trio-something Tina is not yet ready to explore. After all, their party of three can't last forever-can it?

Darkfallen's thoughts:

This book wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. I mean when I read the blurb I was expecting a romance story about how three friends that all fall in bed together, expecting the drama to be based around the difficulties that come with a menage relationship. Now don't get me wrong some of that was there, but there was so much more to it than that. Some good, some Meh.

Tina and Desi have been best friends for over twenty years. Their so close they are even roommates. But Tina starts to grow a guilty conscious one night when she finds herself basically drooling over Desi's boyfriend Josh. Little does she know Desi not only sees it but she likes it, and decides to take it further by inviting Tina into their bed. All the while rich guy Kenton has his eyes set on Tina and for a man that has everything he is obsessed with the one girl he can't have. As the relationship between Tina, Desi, and Josh develops, and Kenton gets more and more desperate to get Tina to bend to his will; the question is can the three of the make it work? And will Tina be able to get Kenton to back down before it's to late?

I liked the twist in the plot. Bringing Kenton into the mix as a villain was a nice touch to add some level of an actual storyline here and not just sex. But that being said I felt the romance side of things with the three of them could have been fleshed out a bit more. I understood the attraction, and the sex scenes in this book are definitely rated XXX, but you don't really feel the love here. Being that the book is labeled as a Erotic Romance and not just plain Erotica I think it needed a bit more in the feelings department. Still the plot that surrounds Kenton and the whole villain angle was well written and really made the story. It just felt like at time sex scenes were just thrown in there to be thrown in. Between the F/M/F menage relationship and then the other random hookups throughout the book there is definitely no shortage on the smexy encounters.

Overall this was a quick hot read and while I think it could use a little more focus on the main relationship I still enjoyed it.

Heart of War by Lisa Darling: Review

Heart Of War
By Lisa Beth Darling
Published Nov. 21st by Moon Mistress Publishing
Pick up your copy at Amazon today!
Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:
Inside the Heart of every Warrior breathes the Soul of a Hero--even within The Heart of War.

Meet Ares God of War, the greatest Warrior the world has ever known. He's moody, grumpy, dominant, ravenously sexual, and above all, built like a Greek God.
Suspected of killing his Daughter in-Law, Psyche, and long in exile from Olympus, the solitude of Ares' island is interrupted when Magdalena MacLeod a brash and sometimes manipulative Fey washes up on Ares' island after believing she's been shipwrecked. It's not mere fate that has brought the unlikely couple together yet it may be what tears them apart.

Branded with a golden chastity belt bearing the mark of Cernunnos, Celtic God of the Forest and Death, Alena has been on the run from her husband the Great Horned God for 200 years.

When the Olympians discover her presence on Ares' island, they send Apollo to the island while Ares is away with orders to bring her to Olympus. Diplomatically winding her way out of immediately going to Olympus, when Ares returns and with nowhere to turn, Alena strikes a bargain with the God of War--her virginity for his protection.Ares sees a sweeter deal; her in his bed and himself back in his rightful place on Olympus even if it means turning Alena over to Zeus.
After Alena proves herself to Ares in battle and his bed, the God of War must choose between his Divinely Dysfunctional Family, his pride, and Alena. Get lost in this sweeping dark saga battling Ancient Gods while falling in love with Ares God of War and Alena MacLeod. Ares and Alena share a love that will rock the world from the heights of Olympus to the Celtic moors, but will it be enough? Will love triumph, or will revenge and rage win the battle for the Heart of War?

Darkfallen's thoughts:

Wow that was one hell of a ride. Or more like a journey to the end of the earth and back;)

First I want to start by saying that I am going to try and write this review without spoilers...so I apologize a head of time for my annoying vagueness;)

Alena has been on the run her whole life desperately trying to outrun her fate to marry Cerunnous. (A Celtic half man/half beast God) For the last 7 years she has lived in a camp in Africa. In some of the worst, most unimaginable Hell's, but to her it is a small price to pay if it means she is not married to him.

Ares, the God of War, has been living for hundreds of years on his island ever since he was exiled by his father Zeus for killing Eros wife Psych. That's right, Ares was convicted of killing his own sons wife! So Ares has lived a life of war and sex with his 8 women slaves on his island in relative peace until a strange women washes up on his shore.

Where did she come from? Who sent her? Who is she?

These are all question he wants answers to after finding Alena's lifeless body on his beach. The last thing Alena remembers is boarding a boat, and now she is covered in sand in the arms of some strange man that is yelling at her. Soon they will both learn their fates weren't at all what they thought them to be, and maybe it's time to stop running from them.

This book was one editing session away from being Kresley Cole IAD good. There were typo's galore on every page! But in the end you will see that I still gave it 4 stars...because the content was great! I also felt this book should have been split into two books. It was extremely long and at times the length was intimidating. Take me-->a girl that reads on average 5 books a week, sometimes more. This book took me 5 days to finish. For me that is insane! But there are plenty of plot twists and climax points that this could have easily been split into two books.

HEY! Get your mind out of the gutter!!!

And speaking of gutter...I was under the impression that this was labeled an "paranormal erotica", but I feel it is more of a "paranormal romance." Here is why...for one thing there is an actual PLOT here. One that by far out ways the hot sexiness. Also there are a LOT of graphic rape and abuse scenes in this book which can in now way, unless you should be locked in a prison, considered a turn on. With that in mind I would also like to say that this is not for the faint at heart.

Overall I can't wait to read the next book and if you think you can handle the violence I say you should give it a go...you won't be disappointed;)

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

Unexpected Desire...


It's been ten years since clean-cut, sexy-as-hell police officer Todd Keenan had a white-hot fling with Erin Brown, the provocative, wild rocker chick next door. Their power exchange in the bedroom got under his skin. But love wasn't in the cards just yet...


Now, life has thrown the pair back together. But picking up where they left off is tough, in light of a painful event from Erin's past. As Todd struggles to earn her trust, their relationship takes an unexpected and exciting turn when Todd's best friend, Ben, ends up in their bed--and all three are quite satisfied in this relationship without a name. As the passion they share transforms Erin, will it be enough to help her face the evil she thought she had left behind?

Darkfallen's now jaded thoughts:

Ok so this review is going to be short & sweet...

Ok maybe not so sweet.

 *winks*

So my first ever erotica book was Rock Me by Cherrie Lynn, and I fell in love and lusted for more...

Then I met the Sinner's in Olivia Cunning's Backstage Pass, and....

*fans herself*

Ever since I have been hungry for more. More erotic/love/passion/hot yummy boy toys covered in tatts, pierced in all the places that count, preferably holding a guitar...

and nothing else

So I gave this one a go....and WOW! I guess maybe I just don't posses enough KINK for this little piece of...ummmmm....porn in print?

LOLZ

Don't get me wrong I loved Erin(the main chic). I mean she rocks, plays bass in a rock band, covered in tatts, has a I-know-who-I-am-and-it's-ok-if-I-scare-the-squares attitude...what's not to love? Oh and did I mention that she has pink hair? LOVES IT!!

But over all folks here's the deal Erin meets Todd, who is a straight laced cop, and when they get together she breaks him down. Each time stripping him layer from sexual layer, until he is completely exposed bare (yes pun intended;) But who knew that their deepest fantasy would lead to Todd's best friend from childhood in bed with them?

I didn't...then again I should have actually read the synopsis.

I just kept getting grossed out with the guy on guy action...but if that's your thing then this book is for you! But you should also know that while there is a little plot in here it felt forced. Basically squeezed in between all the sex. If it would have been fleshed out just a little more I would have given this 4 stars even thought the guy/guy stuff eekkks me out. Like I am pretty sure we had sex over 6 times in the first 90 pages...

Hot?

 YES!

 But geeezzzzz come on!

So if the Guy-Girl-Guy thing is for you then I say...
Get on your knees and...

Wait! Did I forget to mention there is a LOT of domination in this book?

*winks*

Will I read more in this series? Well I hear Erins HOT brother, who owns a tattoo shop, has his own book...so what do you think?   

*waggles eyebrows*

Until next time...

The man in your life will thank me *winks*

Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:

Sinners’ lead singer, Sed, had his heart shredded when Jessica left him to pursue her dreams,so when she dances her way back into his life, he's not sure he's ready for her brand of pain, or pleasure, again. When she convinces Sed to engage in a benefits with benefits relationship, things seem to be going his way, until one of his fans catches their explicit public display of affection on film and posts it all over the internet. Will Jessica ever trust Sed again? And has Sed become the man of Jessica’s dreams or is he just posing to get what he wants?

Now for some nummy thoughts:

In this installment of the Sinner's series we get to live Sed's story. Which OMG is flaming out!!

Sed is the lead singing of the Sinners. He is also a pushy asshole control freak who had his heart broken by Jessica, and thusly is a womenizing man whore. These are all things we know from Backstage Pass. But what happens when Sed & Jessica get reunited in the most not-so-pleseant circumstances? Can the two of them overcome their own personality disorders long enough to see the real person underneath all the bullshit? Or will Sed be left standing there with his heart in shreds once again as they part ways....

Ok well one thing for sure is that Sed & Jessica's reunion is smoldering HOT!! I mean they have an animal like physical attraction to eachother that drives not only them but you the reader crazy. But remember when I said in Backstage Pass that not only did Ms. Cunning give me lusty num nums, but she made me fall in Love with her characters?

Welps chickadees I'm proud to say that she did it again....only this time is wasn't for the main character! Please don't get me wrong I learned so SO much about Sed, and thusly love him even more for it but....uh hu yep there is always a BUT and in this case a very hot one *giggles*

So without giving anything away, because no one likes a spoil sport, I'll tell you this. There is so much more depth coming into this series. So much more drama. Where in the first book it is mostly about Brian and Myrna, in Rock Hard Olivia does an awesome job of bringing some roundness to all of the Sinner's. And while I thought that I was madly, deeply, hopelessly, lustfully in love with Brian Sinclair well....ok so maybe I still am *swoons then shrugs* But oh Trey Mills, Trey Mills, Trey Mills!

Trey you beautiful broken sexy man! Come here let me fix you. Trust me momma knows EXACTLY what you need *waggles eyebrows*

*Greta pinches Darkfallen*

OWWWWW!!! WTH was that for??

Oh right I'm turning into a groupie aren't I? hehehe Thanx for snapping me out of it *winks*

All in all this was another hot installment of The Sinner's and I am so excited to see what is gonna happen to the band next, and OMG Ms. Olivia Cunning how long until I get Trey's story?? *whines like a 2 yr old* Pa Pa Pa please I NEED him!!
*Greta pinches Darkfallen....AGAIN*

OWWW shit I'm doing it again aren't I? CRAP!! *facepalms*I better run before my arm gets any more bruises!! LMAO
