It’s time for an indulgence, or two…or three.

Bandicoot Cove, Book 1

There’s something magical about Bandicoot Cove. It’s where Kylie Sullivan’s dream of managing a luxury, five-star resort is about to come true. And it’s where people tend to fall in love. Kylie should know. She’s fallen hard—for three very different men.

There’s Brad, who knows just how to relieve her stress and send her body on a crash course through pleasure. Hemi, her untamed Maori, who awakens her primitive side. And Finn, the sexy bartender whose specialty is Screaming Orgasms.
Hence, we cialis prescription purchased that advise people getting the best bit of service. Kamagra can be used by anyone who has crossed the age of 18 order generic viagra navigate to these guys years but make sure that all the medicines that are of generic kind and made of Sildenafil citrate. There is no doubt that technology is great viagra samples for sale because it is not only delicious but full of health benefits as well. But a lot of people mulls on whether to go for the branded leader or the cialis from india online.

The three men fulfill all her sexual fantasies, but Kylie knows reality will eventually set in and she’ll have to choose. But how? For now she decides not to decide—at least until she makes sure the resort’s soft opening comes off without a hitch.

As far as Brad, Hemi and Finn are concerned, Kylie’s life is too much work and not enough play. The only choice they plan to give her is to say yes to their wildly passionate proposal…

Pack your bags and hop the next flight to the beautiful island Paradise of Bandicoot Cove, where indulgence isn’t optional, it’s inescapable.

Kylie Sullivan has a dilemma, one that most women can merely dream about. Three men, gorgeous and totally delicious men, fulfill her every need and then some. The problem: How long can it last? How long will they allow her to continue without forcing her to choose? Choose? What a silly word!!

Take three amazing writers of some of today’s sexiest romance and give them the chance to write four stories that overlap and are intertwined and you have a recipe for one sensational series. Did I mention the whole thing takes place at a fabulous resort in Australia? *sigh* These stories won me over on that detail alone. Okay, so maybe it helped that the writers are all super talented and each novella has an interesting and unique premise.

This first story sets the stage for the other three. Readers are not only treated to a tour of the grounds of Bandicoot Cove via Kylie’s inspection walk before the soft opening, but everywhere she goes it seems one of her men are determined to show her the hidden pleasures of the island. Don’t expect a lot of background to Kylie, Brad, Hemi and Finn’s story because it just isn’t there. And that was fine by me because in this short story I was more interested in where they are now and what was in store for their future.

Kylie is a fun character to read. She’s responsible, mature and level headed about everything…except the men. But who can blame a girl for not wanting to choose between three men that are so different and yet so focused and in tune to a single woman. Thankfully, Brad, Hemi and Finn have a plan that will leave Kylie breathless and guaranteed to singe your e-reader.

If you need a quick escape to an island getaway then Exotic Indulgence is your ticket. All four books in the series are out, so now is the perfect time to get your feet wet with Exotic Indulgence. These stories are not to be missed if you enjoy ménage as each one focuses on men that share and women that hate to choose!

In a game played on and off the field, only one of them will emerge the winner.

Armed with an uncanny ability for evaluating football talent, a dogged determination to succeed in a man’s world, and an empty bank account, Rachel McCormick agrees to help struggling wide receiver Derek Ramsey get his game back. Rachel believes Derek, her former best friend and lover, knows the truth behind the points-shaving scandal which ruined her father. She vows to expose the secret even if it destroys Derek in the process.

When Derek’s coach suggests sex as an excellent tension reliever the night before a game, Rachel takes one for the team. The next day, Derek has the best performance of his not-so illustrious pro football career. As Derek and Rachel rack up nights in bed and other places, the team racks up wins on the field. Rachel is torn between her loyalty to her father and her growing affection for Derek.

Now it’s fourth and goal, one second left on the clock. Their hearts are on the line. Do they trust each other enough to go for the long bomb or do they get dropped for a loss?

Fourth and Goal is a hold your breath, heart pounding, gut wrenching love story. It’s been a long time since a book has captivated me enough to bring me to tears. Don’t let the sports element scare you off. I don’t watch football or any other sports, but I loved this book whole heartedly.

The Seattle Lumberjacks have never made it to the playoffs and they haven’t had a winning streak in a decade. Most of the fans have deserted them and the “Jacks” are the laughing stock of the league. What they need is a miracle. The clock is ticking and there are no more time outs.

Back in their college days Rachel and Derek were a perfect team. He was the golden child, but it was Rachel that made him shine. One mistake and their lives were changed forever. Five years later, Derek is on the verge of losing his professional football career and there is only one person who can help him. He hurt his best friend many years ago, but now she is his last hope. Pain, betrayal, and lies are a lot for anyone to get past. Can these two move beyond their differences and take one for the team?

Determined to prove her father’s innocence, Rachel puts her past hurts away and sets out to do her job. If it is the last thing she does, Rachel will bring down the man who broke her heart many years ago and destroyed her father: Derek Ramsey.

From the moment he started his professional career, Derek has been trying to run all his plays uphill. He has gone from a Rose Bowl MVP and Olympic Gold medalist to a washed up twenty-seven year old. Things have never been the same since he ruined his friendship with Rachel. He was injured during his first professional game and out for the rest of the season. He has been traded three times in four years, and can’t seem to catch a ball that has been tossed to him by a five year old. He knows his days are numbered. Derek has to prove himself to the new coaches before the regular season begins, one month and counting.

The secondary characters are the absolute treasures of the story. You want to smack and laugh at Tyler, the cocky overconfident quarterback. Mitch is the protective caveman of a brother, who can’t seem to see his sister as a grown woman. And Ryan, an amazing young man, is the heart and soul of the story. He captures and almost steals the whole book. He is a courageous, talented individual who crept into my heart and the cast of Fourth and Goal.

Ms. Davenport did a fantastic job on this story. Fourth and Goal is a well written sports romance novel. She told a convincing story of a woman who knows and loves the game, without alienating the readers who know nothing of the sport. With sultry and inventive sex scenes, heart breaking sorrow, nail biting football plays and a cast that is captivating and engaging, Fourth and Goal is a winner!

Less than a year ago, Fianna Meadows was a pampered noble in the Faerie court. Then she was exiled, turned mortal and forced to work for a living—in a werewolf bar in Detroit, no less! Still, Fianna has to admit her new life isn’t so bad…particularly when it comes to Greg Novak, the bar’s sexy owner.

For Greg, keeping his hands off Fianna has been a challenge. But his sense of honor won’t let him get involved with a woman put in his care, even if Fianna is eager to explore her new feelings of lust. Resisting the temptation to claim her gets even harder when Greg’s grandfather, the region’s Alpha, orders him to marry and Fianna agrees to pretend to be his chosen mate.

Fighting his attraction to Fianna isn’t Greg’s only problem. Someone is killing werewolves and attacking other paranormal beings in Detroit. He vows to do whatever it takes protect both his pack and Fianna—even if that means giving her up…

Suspicion and betrayal are crouched to spring upon Greg and Fianna; two secondary characters who were previously involved in the exciting action in the past two books in the Urban Arcana series. In this latest adventure, the talented Ms. Spencer Pape has thrust them into the limelight to take center stage as a mystery finally gets solved. I’ve eagerly looked forward to finding out how the author would get Greg and Fianna together. The wait was worth it.

Greg and Fianna are about to get their story book ending amidst chaos and surprises as the author wove another intricate, detailed and emotionally charged tale. I was shocked as to who one of the villains turned out to be and I felt great sadness at the loss of what I thought was a great character with HEA potential.

This book has a greater impact for readers who have followed this awesome series but by no means would a first time reader get lost. In fact, they’d have the benefit of the conclusion of the drama and the revelation of all the players. So as a standalone, it will feel complete. For those of us who have read the first two books, the disclosures will have more of a shock and awe effect. In either event, Motor City Wolf is guaranteed entertainment.

Fianna as a character has had the most growth of all the personalities in the series. She initially started out as a villainess, but in time readers discovered she was a victim; a tragic figure caught in a power mad dysfunctional family and expendable. How this woman takes the punishment and not only thrives but earns the respect of her peers in amazing scenes that tested her mettle truly made Fianna a memorable person and a real heroine. I like her as a person and definitely as a mate to Greg.

Waters run deep with the hero, Greg. Of all the people that have come and gone in this series, he has the most to lose and he does. In the same vein, if a man benefits from a relationship with his friends, his friends will want to get rid of impotency. viagra prescription price This cipla viagra generic medication has been very effective in treating stress and trauma. It might be sildenafil 100mg price ED only if the problem continues its time to get help. The purpose in considering these is to shed levitra generic some light on the application of personality psychometric assessments and to identify what they are. The author wrote so many intense scenes surrounding him or the ones he loved that I reached for tissues several times. He was a man who knew he had a destiny but he didn’t want it. Not really. But fate and Ms. Spencer Pape knew he was the alpha for the job and when push came to bite, Greg didn’t let his pack nor readers down.

There are a couple of conflicts going on. The most adorable one and my favorite is the conundrum of Greg’s attraction to Fianna and his attempt at resisting it. It was totally fun when he capitulated and it made for some steamy reading. The other darker conflict is external. Greg has to face the ultimate betrayal, the loss of someone he grudgingly admits to loving and respecting, and his becoming what he never wanted to be. The big climax and action-filled showdown was tightly written with active voice all the way. It kept me riveted and hanging in suspense and I couldn’t flip those pages fast enough.

It was great seeing all of my favorite characters from the previous books and in Motor City Wolf, they had effective supporting secondary roles that kept the story interesting and the plot moving in a natural progression. I enjoy that sense of community and Ms. Spencer Pape balanced it well.

Motor City Wolf delights and astounds. It has everything I enjoy in a romance book. It has a strong emotional hook, a sweeping and powerful romance that overcomes their initial hesitance, shocking villains, and a love that stands against the worst magic and evil beings can throw at them. I can’t imagine what Ms. Spencer Pape has next up her sleeve but I can’t wait to find out. I’m completely captivated by this world she’s built and the characters she’s populated it with. What a great imagination!

DEMETRIUS—He’s the hulking, brooding warrior even his fellow Guardians avoid. Too dark. Too damaged. And given his heritage, he knows it’s best to keep everyone at arm’s length.

Isadora is missing. The words pound through his head like a frantic drumbeat. For her own protection, Demetrius did all he could to avoid the fragile princess, his soul mate. And now she’s gone—kidnapped. To get her back, he’ll have to go to the black place in his soul he’s always shunned.

As daemons ravage the human realm and his loyalty to the Guardians is put to the ultimate test, Demetrius realizes that Isadora is stronger than anyone thought.

And finally letting her into his heart may be the only way to save them both.

Demetrius always looked for a strong, confident female to warm his bed, everything his soul mate was not. He was dark to his soul mate’s light and did not want to corrupt her so instead he stayed as far away as he could while still protecting her. That was until he found himself trapped with her with no escape. Demetrius knows it means the end of all of his hard work, and everything he held sacred.

The personal growth Isadora displayed within this story was impressive. It was done in little changes so I did not notice until I reached the end of the story and realized that the princess may look the same, but she was a completely different woman. It made me appreciate the character, and the author at the same time. Most prevalent warning buy female viagra signs are mentioned here which are reflecting insufficient sexual strength and energy.

The relationship development was just as significant as the personal development of the main characters. I saw the dynamic of their relationship change, and each individual characters growth into who they were meant to be. Even some relationships with minor characters grew and developed within this story. In the end I had no doubt that everyone would live together and meet any future obstacles together as a unit.

While reading this story I sometimes forgot that this was part of a series, because the story stood on its own so well. This is something I appreciated since I had not read the previous stories. The story also drummed up enough interest in the other characters that it made me want to read the stories I had missed, and want to continue to read the future stories in the Eternal Guardian series.

I absolutely adore Greek mythology and this story gave me plenty of what I wanted. It was so jam packed with mythology it reignited my love for the heritage. Others have compared this series to Sherrilynn Kenyon’s Dark Hunter series and I would have to agree. Therefore, if you enjoy Sherrilyn Kenyon or Greek mythology I urge you to pick up the Eternal Guardian series you will not be disappointed.

Perhaps Pierce will find that sometimes pesky pixies pack a punch just like his pesto does.

Cynnara Tregarth has written a delightfully hot story, filled with political intrigue and hidden agendas in the magical lands of the Pixies and other magic folk.

Selena needs to convince Pierce to cater a party for her mother, Queen of the Pixies. It’s a party she doesn’t want to be at, as it means the end of her freedom. Pierce is the best chef in the realm, and his dragon is ready to settle down. But he wants Selena, and she may not feel the same about him.

When things go a bit crazy at the party, Selena and Pierce discover they have more going for them than they thought, and the elf Selena’s mother has chosen for her reveals that he actually already has one mate he loves. Prince Elvus has been with Ferrus for five years, and married to him for two of those years. There is more than meets the eye to the Elven King’s desire to see the Elves and Pixies form this union.

Can Pierce and Selena uncover the truth behind this union? Will they find another way to satisfy everyone’s goals, without losing each other?

The characters are well developed and fun, and the passions of all flow freely. I love the world Ms Tregarth has created here and would like to visit again to meet more of her inhabitants.

Selena has always been more than just another silly Pixie. She is smart, determined and very independent. She has seen the damage her mother the Queen has done with her extravagances, and wants to help all of her people. I liked that she never told Pierce that she was the Princess, wanting to be able to be herself around him. I enjoyed watching as she realized just what her favorite Dragon chef meant to her.

Pierce has gotten used to Selena and her pesky ways, and he has decided that it is time he took a stand. He is strong, handsome and determined that Selena will be his, no matter what he has to do. I liked watching as he set things in motion to make everything turn out for the best for everyone. I also liked that he was willing to admit his feelings and desires in front of everyone, even before Selena admitted anything.

Prince Elvus and his mate Ferrus are both very strong characters, but are both willing to sacrifice their love to get what they see as their rightful land. I enjoyed seeing Selena prove to them that they could have what they desired without having to give each other up or marry for anything other than love.

The political wrangling between the Queen and the Elven King was easily handled, and the eventual solution was perfect for all concerned. There is one very public claiming ceremony between Selena and Pierce, and between Elvus and Ferrus, and that scene heats up the story to a new level of hot. This is a terrific short story for a warm summer evening.
