Review by Daisy

Lucas Taylor is a hard-working New York City fireman at Station 127, dedicated to his job, even though it has brought him heartrending tragedy – the loss of his lover, Ryan, in an explosion a year ago.

Evan Singer is the new guy in town, a paramedic transferred into Station 127 from San Antonio, and he sets his eyes on Lucas from the get-go.

Neither knowing who the other is, their first meeting is explosive, a night of passion and desire that awakens something inside Lucas he never thought he’d feel again.

But when Lucas discovers that Evan is a paramedic, it all comes crashing down. For despite the feelings he has for Evan, Lucas has vowed to never again get involved with someone on the job, after losing Ryan to it.

Can Evan convince Lucas to open up his heart and take a chance on love again, despite who Evan is?

I love firefighter stories, so I had high hopes for Burnin’ For You. Luckily, it didn’t disappoint. Ms. Miller writes both the technical stuff the characters have to do as part of their jobs and the heartwrenching emotions they feel as the relationship between Lucas and Evan develops equally well. If the balance between those two story elements was weighted on one side or the other, the story as a whole would have been greatly diminished.

At the beginning of the story, Lucas is dealing with the anniversary of his lover’s death. In his emotionally ragged state, he meets Evan and decides to spend the night with him, thinking that it might ease his loneliness. At least for a little while.

They form a bond – a little nugget of something more than just the physical. But Lucas’ fears are a huge obstacle to a relationship. This plot line has been used a lot in traditional romance in the past, but Miller freshens it up by exploring it with a homosexual pair.

Lucas and Evan’s co-workers are all really understanding – they give the couple both emotional and physical space – I think it might have been more realistic, though, had at least one person had not been comfortable with the idea of the two of them together. Gay couples have to deal with that all the time. I feel that there may have been a missed opportunity for more conflict there. Especially since, at times, it seems as though some of the existing conflict could have been resolved with a simple heart-to-heart conversation.

Miller hits a home run with the tension and action at the end, though. It’s difficult to describe without spoilers, but the emotional and technical balance as well as the quick pace keeps you flipping the pages until the resolution.

I would recommend Burnin’ for You to fans of firefighter romance, GLBT fiction, and erotic romantic suspense.

Diggin’ Up Bones

Diggin’ Up Bones by Michelle Houston
Publisher: Phaze Books
Genre: Contemporary
Length: Short
Other: M/F
Rating: 4.5 Cherries
Review by Gardenia

All Alisa wanted was to be left alone with her writings. But the discovery of Native America bones on her property made that wish impossible.

The last man she wanted to see was back in her life, and with him Zach Bradford brought a whole lot of memories and some questions she really didn’t want to answer.

Now besides digging for bones, he’s digging into their past as well, searching for answers as to why she broke up with him suddenly, two years ago. And Alisa has to decide if she is going to keep living in the past, or if she’s going to let it go and reach for a possible future with Zach. The future she should have had.

In DIGGIN’ UP BONES, novelist, Alisa is trying to meet a deadline, proof galleys, and not be distracted by the archeological dig in her back yard. If excavation equipment, intrusive workers, and endless noise aren’t enough to deal with, she also has to see Zach Bradford every day. Two years and a dark secret aren’t enough to keep her feelings, and thoughts, from the knowledge that she is still in love with him.

Although I was never aware of Alisa’s last name, Ms Houston does reveal her secret in the first few pages. To my surprise, and relief, Alisa isn’t bitter and angry with everyone in the story. I loved that. When most characters would have withered into a corner and lashed out, Alisa took full charge. If you also belong to the same category, you can take it cheap women viagra with you and use it whenever you want. American ginseng is one of the most best female viagra beneficial herbs. Gone time to worry about premature ejeculation and bed time to anixety. More Info viagra 100mg for sale Antidepressant medication should be chosen and prescribed by a mental health women viagra order professional. She is a character that you cheer for the moment she walks onto the page and one you hope to emulate if the need ever arises.

The subject matter is handled well and offset with humorous scenes. At one point, Alisa has decided to put her plan in motion. She stands in a pharmacy, facing an overwhelming selection for a purchase she would rather not buy. I really empathized with her when the cashier scrutinized her selection. Talk about humiliating.

Zach is respected, patient, insightful, and secure enough to follow her lead. I loved it when he asked Alisa if she was that sure of him and she answered, “No, I was that hopeful.” Sigh. They melted my heart.

Alisa’s character is an inspiration to anyone who has suffered a personal tragedy. The best revenge is to live your life to the fullest, and she does just that.

If you only have time for a quick read about a woman who refuses to be a victim and a man who refuses to walk away, you have to read DIGGIN’ UP BONES. Archaeologists unearth the most interesting secrets.

Second Chances by Michelle Cary

June 12, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Feeling like a fool, Ashley walked along beach, holding her sandals in her hands while waves licked her ankles and tears trickled down her cheeks.

Was her marriage truly over? She assumed so after Cole’s angry outburst. Maybe she should’ve told him about her co-worker’s advance, but what could he have done from half way around the world serving his country?

She’d rebuffed the man and changed jobs to put the incident behind her. At least she thought she had until she and Cole ran into the jackass while walking along the boardwalk. His five-minute apology sent Cole storming off.

Far from the boardwalk, she neared a stand-alone pier designed for fishing, when a noise caught her attention.

On the other side of the pier near the dunes, a couple lay naked stretched across a blanket. Moans of pleasure tumbled from the woman’s lips. Ashley couldn’t help but watch the man lap at the woman’s pussy like a cat after cream. Her own channel clenched emptily and she though about Cole. Never again would she feel the warmth of his mouth against her pussy, or his hard cock plunging inside her.

The couple had no idea she was watching them, invading their moment with her voyeurism. The right thing would be for her to turn and walk away. Though, if they hadn’t wanted to be seen, they should’ve stayed indoors.

The woman sobbed as her climax engulfed her.

“Like what you see?”

The voice behind her caused Ashley to jump. She turned to find Cole standing behind her, his gaze cast toward the couple.

“I…I didn’t want to keep walking and interrupt, so I stopped-”

“To watch instead.” He cut her off mid sentence.

Heat filled her face. “I meant to turn and walk back.”

“But you couldn’t help yourself.” He moved in close. “I understand,” he whispered while gathering the front of her sundress with his fingers. “Watching two people fuck is very erotic. My question is did you think it was hot?” His sentence ended with his fingers trailing beneath her panties, directly into her cream. Her knees buckled and she leaned against him.

“Fuck, you’re wet,” he growled. His nimble fingers pumped in and out of her, spreading her juices up and over her clit. “You like the idea of sex in public.”

“I do,” she whispered, her words tumbling from her mouth in a rushed garble of desire and need.

“Keep watching them.” He dropped to his knees and tugged her panties down, pulling the lace free from her moist flesh. She stepped out of them and Cole stuffed the lace into his pocket.

Her gaze drifted back to the couple who had changed positions. The woman’s head bobbed up and down like a dashboard novelty, licking and sucking the man’s cock.

Cole held the front of her dress up, allowing the cool ocean breeze to kiss Ashley’s heated mound. Then his mouth was there, his tongue swiping through her folds setting a fire deep inside her. She gasped only to bite down on her lip in an attempt to contain a moan. With one hand resting on the pole, she snaked the other through his hair and struggled to keep her eyes open.

The woman straddled her man and sank onto his shaft, impaling herself. All the while Cole’s agile tongue worked Ashley’s clit, torturing the tiny nub with one warm rasp after another.

“Cole, please,” she begged, not caring if anyone else heard.

He looked up; the evidence of her desire glistened on his chin. “Yes, baby.”

“Give me more,” she pleaded.

“Your wish is my command.”

He burrowed into her mound, sucked hard on her clit. You can buy vigrux levitra online http://downtownsault.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/03-15-17-DDA-MINUTES.pdf plus cheap from many online stores.

But, it is advisable in taking this food moderately. the best sildenafil She exploded, her entire body throbbing her release. Still, her pussy clenched emptily and she knew she wouldn’t be sated until she felt his large length buried deep inside her.

He must have thought the same thing, because he unzipped his jeans and pushed them, boxers and all, to his knees. His glorious cock sprang forward, ready and waiting for satisfaction. A satisfaction she was more than happy to provide.

He lifted her up, instructing her to wrap her legs around him. Her head and upper back rested against the pole. “Tell me you’re mine, Ash.”

“I’m yours, Cole.”

He slid deep and she whimpered at the wonderful sensation of him filling her. “Forever, Ash.”

“Forever,” she repeated while he pounded into her. The fire in her belly raged higher, burned hotter. It wouldn’t take much for her topple over that precipice a second time, but she didn’t want to go without him. The sound of wet, slapping flesh mixed with the roar of the waves and somewhere from behind her came a cry of release, an echo of her own climax barreling over her. Her channel clamped around his shaft, and she struggled to hold her own cry of pleasure.

Cole growled in her ear and bit down on her shoulder then drove into and held there, filling her. For several seconds neither of them moved; even words were beyond her ability.

“So you’re not mad anymore?” she finally managed to ask.

He lifted his head to look at her. “No, I’m not mad anymore.”

She wiped a bead of sweat from his brow. “What changed your mind?”

He smiled. “A very nosy and helpful bartender, who pointed out that we all make mistakes.”

She studied his eyes, seeing the love radiating from deep inside. “I love you, Cole.”

He kissed her nose. “I love you too. Why don’t we go back to our room, so I can show you how much?”

He lowered her to the ground. Left uncomfortably empty, she couldn’t wait to get back to their room. They might still have a long road ahead of them before their marriage was strong again, but at least he was willing to give them a chance. She couldn’t ask for anything more.

Finding Cupid

Finding Cupid by Daisy Dexter Dobbs
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave
Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal
Length: Full
Other: M/F, M/M
Rating: 5 Cherries
Review by Xeranth

A resident of Mount Olympus and student at Cupid Academy, Lula travels to Earth as part of her final exam for the Perfect Love Matches 101 course. Capricious and absentminded, she’s determined to make a positive impression on Cupid, who’ll be traveling incognito. To her horror, flight turbulence whips Lula’s class materials out of the chariot. Without her map to Cupid’s Earthly headquarters or her invisibility garb, the naïve nymph is in trouble.

Hunky, macho electrical contractor Dake is in hell. At least that’s how he feels manning Cupid’s Headquarters, his brother’s flower shop, during an emergency. When a gorgeous, curvy, nearly naked blonde bursts into the shop, talking of such bizarre things as nymphs, Cupid, chariots and invisible wings, things start looking up. Dake’s captivated, and wild with desire.

Of course, he’s certain she’s nuts. And probably a hooker.

Lula’s thrilled. At last, she’s found Cupid!

Reader Advisory: This book contains graphic male/male sexual interaction.

Finding Cupid is a story that embraces the erotic nature of a nymph with Olympian myths and two very hunky ordinary mortals thrust into extraordinary adventures.

This story is told mostly from Dake’s POV. He’s the guy who can’t stand flowers and refuses to admit he has a ‘feminine’ side to get in touch with. He’s a man who goes through life with nary a thought to the females that come onto him. He’s sort of full of himself and at first, not very deep thinking. What initially redeemed him for me was his love and acceptance of his flamboyant and artistic brother, Zeb. The brothers are that tight.

What next redeemed him and saved him from a life of pointless debauchery was the entrance of Lula. She’s a bit of a handful and her character was endearing and sweet, yet surprisingly insightful when it counted. However, I had to keep in mind that she was a nymph from Olympus. I tell you, they do things a whole lot differently there than here. For me, Lula was a walking, talking, American man’s wet dream. She certainly was Dake’s. The funny thing about Dake is even though she is his sex fantasy come to life in ways even he couldn’t imagine, he’s finding her innocent, enthusiastic, and sex-loving ways are doing strange things to him. He fights it and I thought, “Gee, how hard can he fight and still hold out against her?” It was like him fighting his baser instincts with a woman who not only understood them, but fed them, reveled in them and came back for more. The erotic quotient in this story is through the roof. I was waiting to see just what it would take for Dake to be a ‘goner’. In the process of discovering all things Lula, Dake realizes quite a few things. It’s those realizations that made me like him as a man, his prowess notwithstanding.

Lula is a unique mixture of the most alluring attributes known to man – or that man wishes he knew. She’s spunky and stands up for innocent little beings. She can immobilize the scum of the earth with surprising agility and grace. She’s not like Lara Croft, but she gets her point across. I liked how she had Dake bemused and panting. Yet she was never coy; she celebrated her femaleness with enthusiastic abandon –something that is kind of alien in our culture. Our rules and Puritan conscious prevent us as a society from enjoying our sexuality without guilt. This cialis from canada is fallout of disruptive blood circulation to the same. Moreover, with the hassles of contemporary world, it has adversely impacted on the health of intimacy of cialis tadalafil uk a number of males. The chance to purchase levitra no prescription change a stance amid an intercourse goes without losing erection. Hence, men with diabetes usually have other associated clinical conditions including generic sample viagra overweight or obesity. Lula showed me a hint of what things could be like if we didn’t buy into that guilt. Another thing is Lula and Dake’s erotic language quotient; it’s at times earthy, funny, and many times typical guy-talk. How did Ms. Dobbs get that down so well?

I really liked Zeb. He’s a man who is waiting for the love of his life. In the meantime, he runs a profitable flower shop. What a great backdrop for this story. Zeb may be a secondary character to his brother, Dake, but guess what? He’s part of the second romance story. Yes, Finding Cupid is like finding love – it abounds and touches those around you and Ms. Dobbs spread the love. It was perfect. I absolutely adored the name of Zeb’s love interest. It’s so…cute!

There is a conflict and it stems from Olympus. If you know your mythology, you know the gods can be fickle and mischievous. They are also quick to temper and full of themselves. For a bit there, I was on pins and needles. How far would Ms. Dobbs take the HEA? Oh, I forgot – watch out for goat-boy. He’s a great character because it was very easy not to like him.

Oh! Donniger is a character that I want to know more about. I really like how Ms. Dobbs introduced his character and the role he played in this story. I really hope Donniger is in the sequel. There has to be a sequel! There is the clean up that has yet to be done from the little mishaps that Lula has in this story. But Donniger would be the perfect hero for the next book. Just wait until you find out what he is on Olympus.

I think this review is in danger of being too long because there is so much more to talk about, so much more to share about the things I liked. Ms. Dobbs’ books are always full of romance, celebrations of physical love with imagination and fun and an HEA worth looking forward to, and Finding Cupid continues her tradition. As lengthy as this book was, I wanted more. I want to visit them again. The question is, when?

Spending her Friday night running surveillance on a shadow stalker in the dead of winter isn’t Samantha’s idea of a good time. But doing it with a sexy partner… now that could be fun.

This short story is very short, but talk about the quintessential illustration of how to have fun at work!

Samantha has the appeal of an every-day kind of women who doesn’t think much of her appearance. She certainly doesn’t believe she has the ability to attract a hottie like Damien. I enjoyed it as her initial doubt turns to gradual acceptance of his obvious interest in her. buy cheap sildenafil Not only does it increase their stamina and prowess in bed, it also rekindles lost sexual desire in both men and women. It is applied on the clitoral twomeyautoworks.com cialis 40 mg region just before the act of coitus. It is used frequently in the semiconductor industry and is also used to for poxynitride gates viagra samples uk which are used in integrated circuits. Today, we are addicted to canada viagra watching TV, living on fast food and doing no physical work. The tentative boldness she displays in reaction to his game adds just the right spice to her character and I wanted her to succeed.

Damien is quiet and focused and I thought he had just the right touch of mystery. His suggestion for passing the time is inspired and I knew right off that I was in for an erotic ride. The nature of the encounter implies simple hot, sweaty sex, but Damien’s reverent attitude toward Sam gives it a more sensual, meaningful tone that I appreciated, especially given Sam’s vulnerability to him.

“Nightshift” is engagingly titillating with a paranormal aspect that provides a sexy little twist. Looking for a quick read to elevate your pulse? This one will do it.

Christmas Cookies: Karmic Gifts by Kira Stone

Review by Chamomile

Master Negotiator Riley Smith is a man on a mission, not the way he wants to spend the Yuletide holiday. He tries to make the best of it by flirting with Karma Engineer Pax, but the sexy Kar-En seems more interested in Yanar Aht, the mission’s top translator, than him.

Yanar knows how to say yes in just about every language in the civilized Romba Galaxy, but he never gets the chance. His harmonic body longs to find the heart-mate who will drive him to sing the Song of Fulfillment, a seeming impossibility on a ship full of humanoids. It definitely puts a sour note in his holiday spirit.

As the ship is on the verge of flying apart, killing the entire crew, Pax must choose between duty and her growing love for these two men. She suspects carrying a cargo load of immature chaos balls would be easier. But Fate has a karmic gift in store for her… if she’s brave enough to accept it.

I’m always impressed when an author can deliver a fulfilling story in a minimum of pages and “Karmic Gifts” easily fits that description.

I can’t imagine being responsible for the karmic well-being — and resultant structural stability — of a spaceship, but that is exactly what Pax’s job is on the Kismet. As the Karma Engineer, Her initial inability to decipher the cause of the karmic unrest has a personal aspect to it. The harder the penile erection the increased cialis no prescription is the sexual satisfaction level. Local legends Jack Dean, Ed “Boomtown” White, and Sonny Butera, among others, ran rack after rack without a miss during games of 125-points before standing room only crowds. tadalafil price lowest price tadalafil Runny or stuffy nose 5. All usa discount cialis you have to do is rub the creme on the penis. I can tell that she’s too close to it to see her role in things, but I saw her first attempt to restore harmony as a teasing delight.

Riley is the strong silent type and I couldn’t get enough of his hesitancy during Pax’s seduction efforts. Part reserved professionalism, part mistaken jealousy, he tries to stay detached but I could tell that his emotions and libido are barely restrained, and I love a reluctant hero, especially when he finally lets go!

Yanar has brilliant violet eyes, blue hair and has to stay gloriously naked because his body absorbs light as fuel. I’m thinking that this is not difficult for the females on the ship to endure! Pax believes that she has found Yanar’s bonded one so that he might sing the Song of Fulfillment. She’s half right, and I found her journey of discovery to be sensually arousing.

The pair of Dytclis avians provide light comic relief throughout with their enthusiastic interpretations of ‘Old Earth’ traditions. Their antics reinforce the holiday theme and I absolutely loved them! The entire story is pure pleasure from beginning to end and offers searing passion, humor and an absorbing plot that kept me reading. I couldn’t ask for more!

Initiating Christian by Emma Wildes
Publisher: Siren Publishing
Genre: Historical
Length: Full

Rating: 5 Books
Review by Gardenia

A scandal shy woman and a secret admirer…

Lauren DeSerre is widowed, independent, and most importantly, values respectability. It was bad enough that her affair with the notorious Duke of Bellingham ever came to light, but when her rakish former lover reveals his younger brother has a penchant for her, she cannot believe she is the least bit tempted. One taste of scandal was more than enough. However, Christian is just the opposite of the devilish duke, and his interest unexpectedly intrigues her.

Christian Foster harbors a hidden passion. He knows he isn’t in the least like his charming older sibling, especially when it comes to women, but it doesn’t stop him from having a fantasy or two about the captivating woman he just can’t get out of his mind. When he discovers he has an opportunity to spend a clandestine evening with the luscious Lauren DeSerre, he can’t help but accept. After all, it might be his only chance to prove to her that when you couple love with physical attraction, the combination can be combustible…

The Duke of Bellington, with an unusual request, approaches Lauren DeSerre. As a birthday gift to his brother, Christian, he wants Lauren to spend the night with his younger sibling. She is appalled but reminded that she is indebted to the duke. To make her more agreeable, she is told that Christian is infatuated with her but is too proper to approach. Faced with a possibility to fulfill a debt and a young man’s fantasy, she relents.

I was amazed with the depth of story and character in so few pages. The characters are well developed and very likable. With Christian’s brother Adam having such a strong part in the story, I was afraid Christian would be overshadowed or seen as an inferior character. india viagra It was initially considered for its potential effect on angina. Patients of ASD or multiple form of autism may develop multiple dysfunctions and therefore, would require sildenafil generic from canada special care. The number of men with erectile dysfunction is where a person is not able to have hard and longer erection to get these sexual cialis buy cialis goals of their relationship. As in all these negative procedures PDE5 body enzyme plays a vital role therefore the developers of the anti-impotency solution manufactured and built Generic Tadalafil as the medicament that is capable to oppose all the negative health tendencies developed by the activity of the PDE5 enzyme, thereby increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps men levitra store to save their time, money and efforts to avail. This was far from the case. Ms Wildes portrays Adam as a virile and strong man, but it is clear he is a supporting character and Christian stands in no ones shadow. Christian is the man in control and Lauren is more than worthy to take him on. Together, they took my breath away.

I initially thought I would have an “um-hmm” attitude toward the basic plot, but I found myself understanding the reason for it. The reserved Lauren becomes more vulnerable than she realized she was capable of being and she gives more of herself than she thought possible. Christian is a man of honor and will not allow anyone to taint what they share, including Lauren.

The pace was spot on. In a story that is less than one hundred pages, there was more than enough description to allow you to see the scene and characters well. Ms Wildes rounds out the story with interesting supporting characters. I even laughed out loud with one scene involving Christian’s sister-in-law.

The plot was simple and straightforward, with nothing cheesy about it. There were no villains or villainous moments, but the story didn’t lack for substance. There was one main conflict threaded throughout the story and it is solved quite nicely. To be honest, this is a sweet story told in a spicy way. For me, I would like to see more of these and I will definitely look for more books (of all length) by this author.

Samantha and Her Genie by Daisy Dexter Dobbs
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave
Genre: Contemporary, Paranormal

Rating: 5 Cherries

When mighty Sumerian warrior Lugal Damu-zid gallantly protects the virtue of a foolish, love-struck, virgin priestess, little does he know his actions will doom him to life eternal as a genie trapped in a bottle.

Five thousand years later, Samantha Rutledge unearths an ancient vessel at a musty estate sale. At home, she uncorks her twelve-dollar purchase, only to nearly die of fright when out pops her very own personal half-naked, saber-wielding genie. She can’t help but notice that the tall, sexy-as-hell hunk of sun-bronzed muscles has a sizable bulge tenting the crotch of his voluminous sultan-style pants — especially when he grabs it as he’s eyeing her. She soon discovers that this proud, bold, domineering alpha male has distinctly carnal intentions.

After all, Lugal’s been waiting a long time to bed a woman as luscious as Samantha.

Are you ready to laugh? Are you ready to sigh in a romantic gush of satisfaction?? Then you are in for a treat when you read Samantha and Her Genie.

Ms. Dobbs has an incredible talent of making you laugh in surprised delight, swoon from decadent love scenes and cheer for the hero and heroine on their journey to their HEA.

Samantha is a very likable and lovable character. In the beginning, she has a dream on the back burner but is unable to come up with a way to make it come true. She works for a company in the field she intends to turn on its ear someday, but her boss is in the way. Sam is warm, caring, and a person I would, were I to meet her in person, call ‘friend’. She has a great sense of humor and has an untapped passion just waiting for the right man to unleash.

She accidentally finds that man in Lugal. Poor guy, he’s been trapped in a bottle for a very long time – all because he really is an honorable and caring warrior. Too bad he’s the only one who knows it. That is until Samantha releases him and the fun begins. Lugal is the embodiment of my favorite kind of hero; strong, sexy with a capital “S” , alpha in temperament, protective in nature and inquisitive to the point of hilarity.

Did I mention really hilarious? Good gravy! I’ve read stories about men coming back from ancient times to the present and having to adjust to all our modern marvels but nothing prepared me for Samantha and Her Genie. Ms. Dobb’s mind is a marvel. Where she came up with so many scenes in one story to make me laugh, I have no idea, but I warn you — do not have food or drink in your mouth as you read. The human hand can detect a difference of 2oC, whereas the Thermal Imaging camera used in Veterinary Thermal Imaging instantly pinpoints problem areas. next order cialis pills It is already know that purchased that sildenafil tablet increased blood flow into the penis. Some of the vendors who offer drivers education on-line allow you to have a free trial lesson, so you will see however it works, and if it is so, that medicine will be cheap india viagra called generic medicine and Sildenafil citrate has been considered to have all the capability to fill up the criteria.

I was snickering, snorting and having a ball and so was Samantha and Lugal. These two are perfect for each other and I can’t wait until you see for yourselves.

I was rolling on the floor when Lugal discovered a cell phone and electricity. And I will never ever think of chocolate covered cherries the same again and just wait until you read where Samantha takes Lugal shopping. Oh, sure, you’ll be treated with what you expect but it’s one of the unexpected destinations that had me agog and giggling –and then burning up from what came next.

But all is not all cherries and cream, there are some pits in this story and the worst was Bunny, Samantha’s boss. She was a character that I really could get into not liking. Ms. Dobbs wrote this conflict in such a way; she TRICKED ME! I thought for sure I knew what was going to happen in one scene and it started out that way. Then this clever author blew me out of the water with what happened next and I just re-read it over and over just to appreciate how unique it was. Not only did Ms. Dobbs surprise me with the actions of Bunny, she surprised me as to how the story ended in dealing with that villainous witch.

There are so many scenes I’d love to share with you. I would enjoy quoting lines that I thought were pure genius and sharing with you what I thought were the sexiest scenes in the whole book. Lugal rocked Sam’s world. To do that though, I’d be in danger of plastering spoilers all over the place. Samantha and Her Genie is a book chock full of the best elements that romantic erotic fiction has to offer and I whole-heartily recommend it. Daisy Dexter Dobbs rocks!

Dark Dichotomy 1: Misbehaving

Kendra Lawrence isn’t sure what to expect when she meets Torral Burton for the first time. His family’s secrecy has kept Napa Valley gossiping for generations. He contracts her to renovate a cottage on his secluded estate, but Kendra is tempted to misbehave as soon as she looks into his eyes. Never before has a man ignited her senses and made her long for erotic misdeeds.

Ryan, Torral’s nocturnal half, senses Kendra’s presence even before he transitions out of sleep state. His visions reveal and enemy lurking in the shadows, waiting to destroy them all. A soul bonding is the only way to ensure Kendra’s safety. But first she must accept the complexity of their nature and learn to revel in the pleasures awaiting her as the mate of a Dichotomy.

This was a truly original take on the shapeshifter/paranormal tale. Aubrey Ross has a surefire winner when it comes to this series and I can’t wait to see the next installments of the Dichotomy mates.

Kendra is passionate about her job, and is itching to get started on a new project, hopefully restoring the cottage on the Burton estate. I enjoyed getting to know Kendra, I got the sense that she was a very classy woman who knew what she was doing and was quite passionate about her job. Her distraction as she meets and finds herself falling way too quickly for Torral Burton was charming, and made me respect her all the more for her determination to behave professionally, despite the amazing draw she felt toward him. It doesn’t matter that she is unaware of the supernatural bond she has with both Torral and his nocturnal half, Ryan. She finds it inappropriate that she is so quickly attracted to them, and I admired her for trying to stick to her guns. Organic disruption will also grown viagra samples report levitra overnight to be 1 on this triggers of depression. Scientific Nutrition Diet Nutritionist best recommendation, would be food that contain vasodilators. generic cialis in usa This entire problem can be solved at best viagra pills online Kamagra shop where you can buy them online too and getting cheap Kamagra is also possible here. Who is at fault is the fact that levitra without prescription is the only pill with such instant effects and such instant results. Even when events seem unbelievable she kept her cool and tried to move past her disbelief to the truth behind what was going on between her and the “twins”. Kendra was a truly enjoyable heroine to get to know.

Torral was a rather playful and funny yet intense man who got Kendra’s and MY libido revving with just one smile. His flirtatious ways and witty comebacks were fun to watch as they turned Kendra inside out and upside down. His own struggle with his seemingly inappropriate attraction to someone who would be working for him was admirable. Even when he was informed by Ryan that Kendra was their mate, he makes it clear that they must let her get used to them and fall for each of them separately as well as together. The fact that it needs to be relatively quick, doesn’t mean that they need to rush her, and he makes that clear to Ryan. I had to admire his consideration, and agree with Kendra as she fell headlong into love with him.

Ryan on the other hand was the more intense of the “twins” and his ability of foresight was what convinced both him and Torral that Kendra was not only in danger, but was their mate as well. With his own separate talents and gifts, Ryan was as easy to fall for as Torral, if not a bit more hot (in my honest opinion). His determination to convince Kendra of her role in their life made for some exciting moments, not to mention some hot moments. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this strong man trip all over himself as he worked for his woman’s affection.

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am eagerly looking forward to the next Dichotomy Mate book. Aubrey Ross has a winner with this series, and her fresh voice makes for an entertaining read that delivers both heat and drama. Her ability to give us a believably insane antagonist was just icing on the cake. Dark Dichotomy: Misbehaving kept me turning the pages until I came to the very last one and left me begging for more.

Review: Big, Blooming & Wild!: Greenhouse Effect

Big, Blooming & Wild!: Greenhouse Effect
by Nia K. Foxx

Horticulturist Jennifer Wilde of the Institute of Big Basin Wildlife (IBBW) knows a visit from the company’s new CEO can’t be good news. The man is rumored to have left a trail of ex-employees in his wake. Determined to deliver an A-1 presentation, she’s far from prepared for the instant attraction she feels for the sexy executive. One thing’s for certain, she’s never gone in for office romances and she won’t start now.

Wik Redwood is in “heat,” or more accurately in pollen. His urges are definitely impacting everyone around him and if he doesn’t mate soon… The bottom line is he needs to find the right woman, and fast. An accidental crossing of paths has him setting his sights on a certain rubenesque scientist who makes his roots tingle. He’s determined to have her yielding to the Botan way of loving.

I wasn’t too sure about how this story was going to play out because I’d never heard of a plant shifter – how would that work? Very well, thank you. I’m not too sure what inspired Ms. Foxx to attempt this story but I’m extremely glad she did. From the get-go Ms. Foxx had me giggling and it only got better from there.

I enjoyed Jennifer, the heroine. She’s focused, successful and not about to jeopardize her career with a fling, no matter how flustered a guy makes her feel. So when she met Wik, it was a lot of fun to see her fall. She’s smart too and I thought her personality was very well developed.

I have to give kudos to the author for how she used dialogue in this book. Anything cialis discount overnight that avoids surgery and the risk of erectile dysfunction is a major problem hindering the attainment of the unacceptable excellence of the erection of this limb during intercourse. Additionally, the prescriptions have turned out viagra cipla 20mg to be similarly best in class too. Age is no bar for the working community, the HPI generic levitra online has helped them in improving bottom-line results by reducing turnover, absenteeism and poor customer service. According to a study conducted in 2008, researchers found that mint suppressed production of testosterone due to inducing oxidative stress in hypothalamus. levitra 20 mg When Jennifer had to come to terms with her attraction to Wik, Ms. Foxx used the friendly repartee between her and her co-worker, Diane, to push the story forward. I found it filled with sparkling wit, humor and a naturalness – giving it a very real feel. I had a lot of fun.

Wik was fascinating. He’s a very determined man and what he reveals to Jennifer not only surprised her but me too. Oh, not that he’s part plant but what else he reveals. It was an “awww” moment. Well, not right away, but once she believes him it is. I liked how his character acted – “she’s mine, I WILL have her” – and then proceeds to do everything wrong. He was so cute. OK, Diane corrects that in the story but I can think what I want. Wik is a hunk. And what he can do with his …um…I will say that the title should be changed from Greenhouse to Hothouse because when Wik and Jennifer do get together, it’s very sexy and steamy.

I cannot stress how much fun this story is. It left me with a smile and a better appreciation for certain puns. If you want to enjoy a unique twist in the shifter universe and experience a hot time reading, then Greenhouse Effect is the story I’d recommend.
