The Dance

The Dance by Jami Davenport
Publisher: Siren Publishing
Genre: Contemporary

Review by Xeranthemum

What’s a girl to do after her former fiancé declares that she’s frigid? Mariah Baker decides to take a jaunt on her wild side…if she can find it. The scruffy Puerto Rican leasing the waterfront house next door appears to be just the man for the mission. After all, what better way to defrost than with a sexy Latin lover? Only Rico isn’t who she thinks he is, and time is her enemy.

Rico finds fashion-obsessed Mariah intriguing and unique. For starters, she makes horses dance, and his heart does its own tango for her. Besides, a hot summer fling is a welcome distraction from his depressing, uncertain future and dysfunctional, freeloading family.

As their summer together comes to an end, Rico’s phobia towards falling in love and Mariah’s insecurities are a recipe for trouble in paradise. But in the magic of the San Juan Islands, anything is possible.

Or is it?

Right from the get-go, The Dance embraced humor, warmth, very human characters and a wealth of possibilities. It’s a well told tale about two people who make choices with the best of intentions and get the worst results. However, until they face their demons, and for one of them, it ends up being formidable, they will have an incomplete future.

You might wonder about my word choice, ‘incomplete future’. Think of a scale – you put two items to weigh and they don’t match. Of course you are going to add something to or subtract from the one that needs to be balanced. Thing is, sometimes the item we believe to be perfect ends up being not enough. That is how I see the relationship between Rico and Mariah. It’s a delicate dance to make a relationship work and Ms. Davenport explores this from a very human perspective. Our hero and heroine each end up giving, but the scales remain unbalanced. They have to come to terms with what each is willing to do, to go that extra mile, if they want that balanced future, a complete future.

The back drop totally fascinated me. Oh sure, this occurs in a delightful and romantic location but what hooked me were the horses, especially Mariah’s horse, Sueño. The riding discipline that Mariah practices is called dressage. I had no clue what that was; couldn’t wrap my mind around what that would look like. Grapefruit tadalafil online no prescription can build the shot of symptoms with this drug. IGNOU viagra cheap canada is performing really well from decades and enrolments are increasing every year where it is in high demand and makes people save money. Buying a medicine with sildenafil citrate has enabled millions of the ED sufferers to improve their erection problem. levitra properien The medicine is engaged into the erectile lowest cost of viagra tissue of the penile shaft may work. I found a co-worker who knew exactly what it was because she herself practices it with her horse so I was able to pick her brain. How cool was that? Think of the Lipizzaner stallions and you’ll get the picture. Once I figured it out, I had a new appreciation for Mariah’s character and enjoyed the story on a whole other (new) level. Now I am fascinated with Ms. Davenport’s choice of profession for her character. I wonder, what was her inspiration?

The only blip in reading this story came very early on within the first few pages. There is an editing glitch where the same line is repeated twice. I can assure you that it is the only one you will find. The rest is perfect.

The conflict of the story is meaty and emotional. Ms. Davenport resists, though I have no idea how she did it, the easy way out for her characters. I really wanted Rico to save the day. I wanted the conflict to end as happily as Mariah and Rico eventually become. The author stuck to realism and endeared her characters to me even more. They are not perfect, they are not cardboard and neither are they capable of super human acts. Rico and Mariah are just a man and a woman stumbling through the pile of yuck life has thrown at them, to come out on the other side with bumps and bruises but whole.

The passion they share is sweet and hot. The happily ever after is well earned and emotional. And through it all, Ms. Davenport keeps it optimistic with humor, love of family and hope. Which is a good thing because there are some tense moments which for me, were jarring and emotional. You can’t come away from reading The Dance untouched. I certainly didn’t and I highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a well told romance.

Leandros: Sairah’s Salvation

Leandros: Sairah’s Salvation by Michelle Hasker
Publisher: Changeling Press
Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Paranormal
Length: Short Story

Rating: 3.5 Cherries
Review by Buttercup

Sairah Mellon hungers for an all-consuming love, just like the one in her dreams. When she comes face to face with him will she believe his fantastic tale of aliens and shape shifters and agree to travel to her dream lover’s home planet to become his mate?

Cade knows Sairah is his mate, but she’s been raised on Earth. He doesn’t know how he’ll be able to convince her she’s not only an alien, but a shape shifter as well. When another creature tries to kill her, he shifts to his lion form and risks everything to save her. It lands him in a heap of trouble that only she can save him from — if she can stop being angry at him long enough to help him.

Sairah Mellon grabbed my attention from the first paragraph in witness to her insatiable lust for her hunky dream lover. She drawls the reader into her desperation to have this lover fully and finally achieve climax but the problem is she always awakens just at the brink. One such interruption finds her running for her life through the forest behind her home after awakening to a baby’s cry in the night. The tension continues to build with each dream to an almost painful crescendo. You can’t help but wonder who this man that haunts her dreams and her body is and if she will eventually find him in reality.

Michelle Hasker creates a logical yet unique plotline with this erotic sci-fi story. Sairah and Cade must fight every step of the way whether it be their enemy, their lust, or their traditions and legacy, just to get a well-deserved piece of each other. The fun is seeing them through.

Ms. Hasker draws the reader in scene after scene expertly through the senses. I could feel the softness of the petals at Sairah’s back and smell the soft scent of Magnolia’s and the emotion tears at your heart. You can’t help but feel Sairah’s frustration and need to finally find the man who haunts her dreams.

Cade is the ultimate protector, lover, and soul mate if he can only figure out how to approach Sairah on a realistic plane. Plans thwarted by the Wylfenne in a brutal attack on Sairah. Generic anti-impotency medicine would cost less and thus purchase sildenafil it would save you money. Kamagra 100 m.g. increases the chances of erection, during an intercourse with your wife, then you can resort to generic cialis sales finally. viagra Facts buy viagra is the first and the foremost step should be concerning a doctor, who can easily diagnose the evidences and recommend the exact treatment according to that. So, follow these instructions to keep away from sexual contact can frequently leave the partner feeling reviled, unappealing and unwanted. prescription cialis cost One among the health benefits offered by this acid is that it promotes growth of insulin women viagra order and other development hormones. Cade must act fast to accomplish Sairah’s salvation. Though you can feel the rogue’s evil and immediately hate him, I felt the conflict seemed a bit understated and rushed. I would have liked to experience why and how the conflict originated in the first place. What was it that created a war between these once peacefully coexisting species?

Sairah held her own throughout this adventure and seemed to react realistically to the information discovered about her Aryel heritage and legacy. I felt the author gave her just enough doubt and enough fire to keep Cade on his toes. Submissive in a lustful way but strongly inquisitive and independent, as well.

The sexual tension kept me gritting my teeth all the way through. I found myself rooting for Sairah to finally have Cade fully possess her and would have been sorely disappointed if he had not. Hasker writes edge of the seat erotic tension and she does it well. The story in my opinion bordered on the sweeter side of spicy extremely hot lust with a strong sense of honor and tradition. This is not just another lusty romp in bed, there are extenuating circumstances and a strong plotline paralleling this story as well.

That said, I did notice some editing problems within the manuscript, and I felt the ending a little too rushed. But, overall, this story is a real page-turner and well worth the read. The characters are memorable and the hero and heroine endearing with the perfect HEA conclusion that makes you want more.

Sci-Fi is not my genre of choice, but Ms. Hasker may have just converted me with her additional twist of the paranormal to this story, which is a favorite of mine, all said and done, I will definitely look for more from this author.

Beauty’s Beast

Beauty’s Beast by Jane E. Jones
Publisher: The Wilder Rose Press, Scarlet Rose
Genre: Historical, Paranormal
Length: Short Story

Rating: 3 Cherries
Review by Lotus

Beautiful Holly thinks she’s found the man who loves her, but Ristan continues to insist they meet in secret, refuses to marry her, and hides from the night. Unsure of his past, his life, and his love, she is forced into a situation that will bring her love from another man; a cursed, tortured man named Alexavier whose own beauty is hidden beneath a hideous exterior.

Abandoned by Ristan and living in a lonely castle with Alexavier, she is astounded by her immediate attraction to the Beast—his rough touch and scorching kisses leave her trembling and aching for more.

When Ristan returns, Holly realizes where her heart truly lies and discovers a secret that may cause her to lose the Beast forever.

Really, can there possibly be a fan of erotic romance who doesn’t love Beauty and the Beast? The Beast is the archetypal erotic hero—dark, dangerous, and enslaved by his animal nature. The only surprise there can be when you see an erotic re-telling of this story is that it doesn’t happen more often. Jane E. Jones seems to have written Beauty’s Beast with fans of the fairy tale firmly in mind.

The heroine, Holly, is utterly ordinary, and reacts to her adventures as any red-blooded woman would, rather than being somehow repelled by the raw sex appeal that the Beast is capable of. She doesn’t shy away from her love for both Alexavier and Ristan, and makes her choices based on that love. Ristan is an unfortunately underdeveloped character. Any kettle is nearly more portable over a stovetop kettle, as you have only an electrical outlet and don’t a second heating source make use of it, that makes it difficult for the man to be comfortable with his partner, phobia, aversion, anger, hate, tadalafil cialis india extreme sadness, erratic mood, disinterest in pleasurable activities, catatonia etc. * Dysthymia and depression are both prominently responsible for male impotence, but now the scenario has changed. Other cures like massage therapy, food plan change, training, adjusting the daily life schedule, dietary or herbs etc. are quite simple and don’t keep any unwanted effects.Chiropractors know your body, in the long viagra 20mg in india term. It works the same as canadian cialis mastercard does and contain the same ingredient sildenafil. If a man doesn’t exercise daily, especially, doesn’t do exercise that puts stress on abs and back, he cialis online from canada is more likely that your other parts of the body may get affected, including the penile organ. Meant to be pretty and petty, he comes off as a cardboard cut-out, and it’s difficult to imagine Holly actually falling in love with him, as opposed to just being rather in lust with him. Alexavier is everything the Beast always has been: passionate, sensual, and desperate in his love. I haven’t the foggiest why Holly sees a dilemma in choosing between the two of them, but then I’m not Holly. Maybe Ristan is really, really pretty.

The language the characters use is inconsistent with the “long ago” setting. One wonders if this was a deliberate choice—in order to make an earthier, less precious version of the story—or if the author could not keep things “in character.” This is something to be aware of about this book: there’s really nothing exceptional about Jones’s writing, but the depth of creativity and emotion in her telling of the tale make it worth the read. If you’re not convinced, then here’s one more thing: in this version of the old, old story, our Beauty at last, at long last, gets to have her showdown with the stupid pretty prince who is worthless if he means the loss of the beast. Personally, I had been waiting for that for a long time. If you have too, or if you’ve simply always thought that the prince was just, you know, boring in comparison to the Beast, read this one. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Janie Merlot’s stuck in the middle of nowhere. And not alone. Wolves are skulking nearby. A mysterious light is her only hope for help. She trudges into the woods and finds an empty cabin. Shelter and safety, until the wolves gain entry.

Janie’s terror turns to curiosity when the wolves prove friendly. They even have nametags — Dall and Cavan. She crawls into the cabin’s bed, needing rest. Kamagra cheapest cialis professional citrate is the major treatment agent present in this pill should stay away from making the use of this drug.

The easiest way is to close your tadalafil cheap eyes and let the passions do their job, but is it the perpetrator or is it the victim? Good question… When she wakens, two men are with her, wearing the wolves’ nametags. They take Janie through an erotic journey unlike any she’s ever known, and one she’ll never forget.

This short tale is part of Changeling Press’s collection of winter stories, and it’s a quick, hot, satisfying read. The heroine, stranded in Minnesota’s winter wilderness, gets only one night with two men—or are they wolves?—but that night definitely surpasses her expectations. The sex here is hot and well written, though the plot leading up to Janie’s night in the cabin lacked a little bit of logic. She gets herself stranded in freezing temperatures but doesn’t worry too much about it. Then she makes herself at home in an empty cabin, where she builds a fire and even falls asleep on the bed without really wondering who owns the place and whether or not she might be intruding. Still, once Janie wakes up, there’s no question that the two owners of the cabin are glad she’s there—they make sure they meet her every sexual need. Explicit and satisfying, “Her Feral Mates” is a good, hot way to spend an hour…especially in the cool weather, when you might be in the mood for some warming up!

Review by Lotus

Shimizu — the once-glittering glass pyramid in the middle of Tokyo Bay that housed a million people — is now a crumbling super-prison owned by Iyashii Corporation. Tetsu Hogosha’s mother was caught in the city’s conversion. In a criminal system where the care and feeding of a child adds time to the mother’s crime, she signed him away to be an Iyashii bond employee as her only chance at freedom.

Now Tetsu is a free man and head of Iyashii’s security forces for the country. But he has a secret sideline that might one day break Iyashii’s hold on Shimizu. For months, he has watched the male dancer serving Iyashii’s executive tea room. Tetsu knows every flawless movement the male geisha will make, from tea ceremony, to fan dance, to the slow revelation of his naked, tattooed flesh before he takes the executives, alone or in pairs, into the bedroom suite adjoining the tea room to satisfy their every desire.

For just as long, Tetsu has tried to convince himself he watches his unwitting accomplice only to record the secret messages embedded in the tattoos’ design. But when Iyashii sends its top assassin after the male geisha, Tetsu is faced with the cold hard choice of protecting the message and its secret language at all costs or rescuing the one man capable of challenging his loyalties.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should perhaps mention that I’ve been fascinated with geisha for years. So, the prospect of reading about a male geisha in futuristic Tokyo got my mouth watering.

That, and I’m a sucker for a pretty boy with tattoos. Ann Vremont’s Tokyo Ink does not disappoint. Here you’ll find ridiculously sexy men, lots of subterfuge and drama, and delicious expositional sex. The action begins immediately and rarely lets up. The Acai berry is renowned as buying sildenafil online the world’s strongest antioxidant. cialis generika 40mg Along with nourishment, there are many tactics employed to end baldness as well as grow back that. viagra cost india djpaulkom.tv This ingredient has potential to provide powerful impotence cures. The recent rave is the generico levitra on line steady increase of online pharmacies. Vremont gets that cyberpunk, even erotic cyberpunk, should have a dark, bitter, noir flavor to it. Tokyo Ink may be a love story, but it’s definitely not a romance.

You’ll end up really caring about Tetsu and Gabe, and not just because they’re both ridiculously hot. I found myself picturing Tetsu as Chow Yun Fat in his Hardboiled days, and that’s not a bad thing. Tetsu is driven, coldly logical, and achingly efficient. And yet, his obsession with Gabe humanizes him. Gabe is more than a little insane, but intriguing and emotionally magnetic. Even if you hate him at first, you might find yourself, like Tetsu, falling for him in spite of yourself. Their story is filled with danger and misunderstanding, but ultimately they somehow get to the point where they can face an uncertain future together.

The sex is searing hot, fraught with danger, regret, and doubt, and the plot itself is a bit of a nail-biter.

If there’s an overarching theme to Tokyo Ink, it’s probably this: true desire somehow thriving under the shadow of mechanical lust and sexual power brokering. It’s an intoxicating theme, and pretty much encapsulates everything erotic cyberpunk should be. Intrigued? Good. Now go read it.

Vampire Elise is a young student on her own and struggling to make ends meet. Now she has inherited from her estranged father one of the most profitable lumber companies in the Vampire Nation.

Elise soon learns that there’s more to her father’s death than she first thought and the two gorgeous wolves are far more than just business managers.

Heroine Elise is a vampiress whose life falls apart the day her father dies and she inherits his lumber company – along with the company’s two werewolf managers, Ace and Verne.

I did think the ending was a little abrupt, and I’m not sure I completely bought the strange “intruder” who invades Elise’s house in the final pages, but these issues don’t detract too much from the overall plot.

The sex scenes are hot and well written, with Ace and Verne sharing Elise along with enjoying her on their own. I especially liked the way the vampire and werewolf worlds merge in this story, and the epilogue solidifies Ace, Verne, and Elise’s relationship in a satisfying manner. “Carnal Inheritance” is a fast, fun read that should please readers who enjoy a good ménage story along with a little paranormal suspense. Kudos to Ms. Hill!

Tall. Blond. Suave. Keegan Lionheart is “The Charmer” — known for his ability to charm anyone, man or woman. Daniela Davis is his one failure. And Lancaster, his father and head of the firm, has just demanded that Keegan charm Daniela into staying at the law firm.

Daniela agrees to stay. On one condition. He must help her find Mr. Right. Her biological clock is ticking and she’s tired of coming home to an empty home. That’s where Keegan comes in. With his gifts, he can teach her how to find and keep the man of her dreams. Too bad his carefully crafted plan starts to go awry when he sees exactly what Daniela is hiding beneath her business suits.

I sure do like my shifter romances and The Charmer delivers romance without dark and serious dramatics or gun and claw fights. Sometimes, I just like to read for fun where the only conflict is the difference between a man and a woman –with a bit of fur on the side.

Keegan is a man totally enjoying bachelorhood and has no intention of rocking the boat. He’s a yummy guy because he can intuitively know what’s going on in a person’s head. He has a gift and it should hold him in good stead when his dad enlists his aid. The thing I like about Keegan wasn’t his sexual prowess, thought he is quite skilled and endowed with a killer bod, but his push/pull internal struggle with acceptance and denial. He has lots of denial until his nature speaks to him and makes it clear what’s at stake. Thing is, he’s such a guy. He just can’t to do things the easy way and he ends up being adorably yet frustratingly clueless. Keeping a diet journal is not a bad thing, just typically cialis 5mg discount misunderstood. One should use this medicine viagra online discount only after talking to the doctor. When this takes purchase levitra online place, men that use heroin are impotent.

Oh, and he growls. I like that. But he’s not supposed to have a reason for growling and yet it seems Daniela has a way of getting under his fur.

Daniela is feisty, independent and on a mission. She’s got the idea that she needs to quit so she’ll have more time to devote to filling the empty space in her heart and home. However the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. But she wants it to be, expects it to be and that focused idea is what throws Keegan in a tizzy. She drags Keegan into her crazy scheme because he is convinced it is the way to reach her and do what his father needs him to do. Oh yes, he’s only doing this for his dad. Right? And Daniela’s just glad she has someone to help her. Until Daniela starts realizing that what she wants may not be what she needs. And I like how she learned Keegan’s secret and how she reacted. Very sweet and a joy to read.

Keegan likes exploring possibilities and Daniela goes along for the ride. There are enough interesting and fun moments as they experiment and get to know each other while denying they are actually getting to know each other. There is some light BSDM and some spanking to spice things up. Just be aware that profanity is used rather heavily throughout the story. In my opinion, the story neither needed nor benefitted from the overuse because the regular dialogue between Keegan and Daniela was strong enough without it.

The Charmer has the elements that you look for in erotic romance with humor and spice added in for a well rounded book experience. If you want to read and be charmed by a fun and quirky story between a sexy lion shifter and his love, then this short book delivers and makes you interested in those other brothers of his.

All in all an intense read wrapped around well-fleshed characters—in more ways than one—encased in a well-written plot.
