NetGalley Review: Bodyguards of Pleasure (Pleasure, Montana #8) by Melody Snow Monroe

Overweight computer nerd Brooke Armstrong lives her dream of store ownership. When she witnesses a drug deal gone bad, the killer is intent on seeing her dead. Scared for her life and that of her family’s, she reluctantly accepts protection from two hot bodyguards, Gavin Kirkwood and Riley Landon.

Gavin can’t believe how much Brooke entices him. He’s drawn to her lush curves and intelligent mind. He knows she will make the perfect submissive for him and Riley.

Never in her wildest dreams did Brooke think the muscular former military man would find her attractive, but when he ties her up and demands her obedience, she’s in heaven.

Too bad the killer won’t let them revel in their passion. After a kidnapping gone wrong that ends in a do or die battle, the killer is brought to justice. How can the men convince Brooke they want her in a permanent ménage relationship?

While Bodyguards of Pleasure is book eight in the Pleasure, Montana series it is written and can be read as a stand alone book.

When Brooke Armstrong goes to empty her trash before heading home after closing her computer store and witnesses a murder she has no idea it will bring two hot private investigators into her life and her bed.

Gavin and Riley were in the military together working as snipers now they and 4 of their friends own a private investigation firm. They also like to share their women and are looking for someone on a more permanent basis. When Brooke comes running into the police station, where he is visiting with his cousin, telling them all about the murder she witnesses his protective instincts go crazy. Now can he and Riley convince her that menage is the way to go with a pair of Dom's ?

Ms. Monroe writes a story that is equal parts suspenseful murder mystery and BDSM erotic romance and makes it work. We have car chases, stabbings, shootings, stake outs, fire fights but we also have bondage, spanking, sexy shower sex and two alpha men who are like eager to please pups when it comes to Brooke. While this does have BDSM elements they are on the lighter end of the scale, this is not a heavily kink oriented book. We do have menage scenes but only one with true DP. Good sexy read, I am going to have to pick up the rest of the series.






About this author:

Unlike most other authors, I started writing late in life. Writing stories in high school and college was not for me. Only after I graduated did I fall in love with romance novels. For the next twenty years, I read voraciously. It got to a point where my book buying habits cost as much as my groceries. At that point, my husband suggested I write a book. Hey, it looked easy, right? All the stories started in the same spot (hero and heroine at odds) and ended the same way (happily ever after). Only it was anything but easy. Eleven years and fifteen completed romantic suspenses later, I finally published. I never would have gotten that far had it not been for two local chapters whose generous members shared their amazing wealth of knowledge.

NetGalley Review: Together in Cyn by Jennifer Kacey

Members Only, Book One

She knows it’s wrong. Cyn shouldn’t have feelings for fraternal twins Jared and Chris, her best friends. She shouldn’t want them to tie her up or strap her down, to take her one at a time—or together. The only way to control her taboo desires is to write them down and lock them away in her diary. Guys like Jared and Chris could never be interested in someone like her, or in the kind of sex she craves.

But Jared and Chris have read her diary, and sweet little Cyn is in for the shock of her life. The brothers not only own a members-only BDSM club, they want her. Need her. And now, with their unlimited funds and an entire establishment devoted to fulfilling her darkest pleasures, they’re going to claim Cyn for their own.

Inside Scoop: If you have a kink, this book probably has it too. If you like your ménage romances extra hot with a side of male-male romance, spanking, voyeurism and girl-on-girl action, come and get it.



Cyn has had the hots for twins Chris and Jared since they were teens but she believes they only see her has a kid sister, Chris and Jared have wanted Cyn for years but because they are into the BDSM scene they have held back for some sign she might be ready to accept that lifestyle.

Ms. Kacey writes a sexy menage that gives you a glimpse into quite a bit of different kick from a scene with a little girl on girl action to bondage and use of a whip. The characters are easy to like and the play is hot. We also have a bit of a suspenseful element with some sabotage at the club.

This was a good read if you are looking for something fairly quick but still a full story that is smokin' hot.

About this author:
I am a wife and a mother and a business owner alongside my husband of almost 11 years.

We live in east Texas along with our son and our dog and 2 cats!

We've got a 5 acre plot of land that we've lived in since 2000 and absolutely love it. OK the 800° summers can be a little harsh but the land is beautiful and you just can't beat Texans. We know our neighbors and like them...most of them...and where else can you see a hive of tractors parked on main street and it's actually considered normal.

I've been writing romance since 2008 when I wrote my first novel in 3 months. And it was a 100,000+ word count. Apparently I had a lot to say. I've written four novels to date, several short stories, magazine and newsletter articles and am working on a 7 book series right now. I write contemporary erotic romance. Mostly hetero, some same sex, menage "oh yeah" but all of it HOT!

What started it all was a dream. I think a lot of authors say that and I think if more people would write their dreams down and turn them into stories the world would be a much more interesting place. Two dreams compose two of the biggest scenes of Final Promise. One where Simon is chasing Karley through the park into the locker room, and the other when she has to confront him in the conference room. It's been almost 4 years since I had that dream and I SWEAR I can close my eyes and still see the tears streaking down her face looking out the window. My husband always tells me that I have sci fi dreams and on most nights that is so true. I could fill pages and pages of paranormal scenes with them but those dreams were HOT with a capital Damn!!

Whatever precipitated those dreams I am so thankful for. I LOVE Writing! It is something so incredibly fulfilling to put your thoughts and dreams down on paper and have someone else read it and say, "WOW!" But it's something else entirely to have a writer read your work and say, "Holy WOW!"

Kim Carmichael take the lost love storyline gives it a menage twist and throws in the magic of Madam Eve and her 1NightStand service to give you Interchangeable.

The premise for Interchangeable is fantastic and unique, with a series like the 1NightStand series coming up with something unique is an accomplishment. When Dahlia leaves Todd and Cooper taking with her all of the money for the business they were in together because she can't pick between them it hurts then makes them very angry but that was 5 years ago and now Todd and Cooper are wanting to work things out with Dahlia.

Interchangeable jumps right into the middle of the story (I would have been a bit lost if I hadn't read the blurb telling me what was going on). Todd and Cooper use Madame Eve to meet with Dahlia and the old sexual tension is present at once. This menage is one of the more tame ones I have read with the men taking turns and only a kinda M/M moment. The hardest part to this story was that it read like the history was assumed a lot of the time, for instance Cooper is upset and it is implied this is a hold over from the past but we have no point of reference. I liked the characters and I loved the premise it however it could have delivered so much more.







Excerpt:

“We want what you didn’t give us before.” Though he tried to appear casual, relaxed, Cooper’s jaw twitched, betraying his tension.
The money. No doubt the money. She took hold of the edge of the table, trying to stop her shaking. “What might that be?”
“The chance to know about the other.” He strummed his fingers on his knee.
Todd put a hand on her shoulder. “The chance to show you the difference.”
They didn’t mention anything about money. Her stomach twisted at the way Cooper stared her down as if daring her to say no, and she shifted her gaze to Todd.
His eyes remained clouded, half closed. The answer to her question came in the form of heat igniting between her thighs. She shifted in her seat. What were they offering, a challenge, a choice, or her ultimate fantasy?
“What if I say no?”
Neither man answered.
One night with them. Her mind screeched to a halt. Instead of her dream, she pictured tomorrow morning, getting back on a plane to South America, returning to the small marketing consulting gigs that barely paid her rent, and spending her nights waiting to be found out. She needed to locate her spine and get what she truly needed out of the night. “One night and we part?”
Todd moved in closer. “Isn’t this what you always wanted?”
Yes, that was everything she wanted and planned for five years ago. Of course, back then it wasn’t one night, it was forever.
Wait, she couldn’t want. Her wants didn’t count.
What she needed was to get up in the morning without a bulls-eye on her back.
She licked her lips. “No repercussions or retaliation?” They both knew her well and understood her question.
Silence. Even the waves seemed to stop.
At last, they both nodded.
She took a breath. When she walked away tomorrow, she’d make sure she didn’t replace the bull’s-eye with a heart broken beyond repair, and haunting memories.
Decision made, she pushed her chair back, and stood. “Did you get a room?”
Rather than living her fantasy, she would give them theirs and take nothing more from them. No enjoyment, no dreams, not one more thing.
Maybe she’d walk away with something she hadn’t had in years.
Peace.

Caught by Menace (Grabbed #2) by Lolita Lopez

Menace's plan to catch a sweet, docile woman is shot to hell when he's tackled by a dark-haired beauty who wants to save her friend from being Grabbed. Refusing to leave the planet's surface empty handed, Menace claims the spitfire with his collar.

Naya clawed her way off the streets of Connor's Run and vowed to never let any man have control over her. She plans to make Menace so miserable he'll set her free but the ruggedly sexy warrior disarms her with his unexpected patience and kindness.

Against her better judgment, Naya surrenders to Menace's masterful hands and mouth. Submitting to her new husband brings her more pleasure and happiness than she'd ever imagined possible. For the first time in her life, she willingly trusts a man to protect her.

But when her past misdeeds catch up with her, Naya puts the depth and strength of that love to the test. Determined to show her he's worthy of her trust, Menace will stop at nothing to save her.

Love me a good sci-fi romance series with hot alpha aliens! Caught by Menace is the second book in the Grabbed series that takes place in a dystopian future that takes place on an Earth like planet called Calyx, a very anti-technology/advancement place, and the aliens that protect the planet and grab the brides once a quarter are the Harcos, a very large race who have some interesting mating tendencies.

Naya has worked to survive from the time she was a very small child and works with a renegade organization to get medical supplies in and people out. She has promised her friend Jenny she would help her get away from the grab by participating herself. How was she to know that getting grabbed, her worst nightmare, would turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to her.

Menace is envious of his friends who have brides and families he is ready for that. He wants a quiet, obedient woman what he gets instead is Naya, who is just who he needs.

Working together to overcome trust issues and fear of the BDSM that dominates the bonding of the Harco's men Naya and Menace are working toward a happy and loving relationship, until Naya's past bites them in the butt.

I really enjoyed this book I would read the first one before this one but you don't have to. The sex is hot and steamy, there is an element of suspense and tension as well as some surprises. We get to find out how Vicious and Hallie are doing and we are set up for a third installment. I can't wait :O)

Excerpt:
He raised his finger to her lips to quiet her pleas. “Shhh. Let me show you what it’s like to be desired more than any woman on the earth and love you stronger than any other before me.” Her eyes widened in shock. All she managed was a quick nod in response. He raised her in his arms and carried her to the bed.
He sat her in the middle and stepped back. She looked at him, waiting for what was to come next, but nothing happened. Finally, she found her tongue and asked, “Are you going to come here, or should I just plan on taking care of this by myself?”
His mouth drew up in a cocky smile. He narrowed his gaze, giving her the best fuck-me eyes she’d ever seen. Her hand wandered to her blouse unconsciously, lifting the hem slowly with the hook of her thumb. “I will gladly be the audience of that show later, but right now I want you to undress, my little sex gatinho.” He stood with his arms crossed, waiting on her to comply. She sat dumbfounded, not used to being ordered or instructed. For some reason she complied and stripped her clothing off. Her bra and panties were left. After staring at him for a full minute, she decided that they were to be included and proceeded to take off the lace garments. She fisted them to toss onto the floor when they were taken from her hand. He lifted and examined her bra, turning and inspecting it with his fingertips. Obviously satisfied, he laid it on her nightstand. He stretched out her panties next, bringing them to his face, and inhaled her scent from them. “Ah, sweet Giselle, your panties are wet. They smell of your sweet cream. Cats love cream, Giselle.”

Bio:
Shae Shannon was born in California where she lived until the age of 13. Her family decided to uproot and move to a small town in Oklahoma. It was fate, Karma, or coincidence that had put both Shae and her future husband on the paths of destiny and love. She spotted him in the back of a pickup truck while cruising town, his hot sexiness capturing her attention and her heart. One introduction later and she knew that he was her soul mate. Dustin was also from California, and had grown up only 30 miles from her.
After marriage, Dustin joined the Army. They spent 9 years in northern New York and 4 years in Georgia. He served 3 tours overseas, and numerous stateside training exercises. It was during the long, stressful, lonesome deployments that Shae found she could escape into imagination and majestically teleport into juicy books. Her most prized gift came in the form of a kindle, sent from her husband in Iraq. She quickly filled her digital library, and adds to it every week.
They are blessed with three kids ages 16, 10, and 5. Two dogs, a hamster, and a fish make for a chaotic crazy daily routine that Shae handles like a pro, and with a lot of humor.
Needing to branch out more, Shae picked up her laptop and began to write, allowing her boisterous imagination to fly. After what seemed like an eternity, she finally created her first novel that soon became published by Siren Publishing. She was finally on the path of her dreams of becoming an author.
Shae currently lives Oklahoma, where the tea is sweet, the grass is green, and people still say ma’am and thank you. Every summer, they load up the family and head for the lake for swimming and fishing. There is not a water park or swimming pool in the world that could ever compare to a rope swing and a floaty. The only thing that will change is that Shae will be scribbling and writing as she floats on the water and works on her tan.

NetGalley Review: The Demon Lovers Boxed Set by Kate Douglas

After barely surviving a vicious attack, Addie Logan awakens to find two gorgeous men standing over her bedside. Unsure if they are real or a figment of her imagination, she reaches out and unleashes an erotic hunger like none she's ever known. But these men need more from her than just erotic pleasure. They are demon hunters, and the attack on Addie in the park has made her one of them.

Together the three will forge an erotic and loving relationship while tirelessly fighting the demonic threat to humanity.

This boxed set contains the complete Demon Lovers series, as serialized in Unbalanced, Unbound, Unmasked, Unleashed, and Undaunted.

*** This books also includes bonus material from Dark Wolf, the first book in the Spirit Wild series, and Dream Unchained, the second book in the Dream Catchers series ***



The Demon Lovers Boxed Set is 5 novella length books in a boxed set, it allows you to have the whole story in one place I love that :O) It appeals to my little OCD heart.

What do you do when you are attacked and bitten by a dying woman then wake up with two of the hottest men you have ever seen looking at you and telling you it is your job to keep them from killing each other. Well if you are Addie Logan you jump into the job with both feet and not only do your job as the fulcrum and fellow demon hunter to Jett and Locan but you also show them that they don't hate one another they really just want to have sex with each other.

The Demon Lovers series is funny, sexy and an unique take on the demons and pop culture. Make no mistake this is erotic romance there is going to be a LOT of sex.(I don't think that is a negative at all) I found that it did take into second book before I felt the story line running as smoothly as I would have liked but it does move fast and the whole boxed set can be read in a reasonable amount of time.

I loved the secondary characters in the later books they add another layer to the story and provide humor and a bit of mystery.
