Destiny: I made a mistake and now I’m paying for it. I borrowed money from the MC to save my mom. Now I have to spend the rest of my life taking off clothes for strangers. Each time I dance, a piece of my soul dies with me. Just when I think I won’t survive this place, he arrives. Devil. Vice-President of the Fallen Saints MC. He struck a dirty bargain and now I belong to him. Hell will freeze over before I surrender my body and heart to a criminal like him.

She’s way too young for me but I couldn’t leave an angel like her in that shithole. Destiny thinks I’ll discard her once I no longer have any use for her. She’s wrong. I’ve ridden solo my entire life but I’ve changed my mind. Destiny’s not just my plaything. I intend to make her my old lady.

As Vice President of the Fallen Saints MC, Devil could – and did – have any woman, any time he wanted. Rules never applied to him. But while in the middle of negotiating a deal with another MC Devil lays eyes on Destiny and instantly something different happened, Devil found himself burning for her as no other. Unable to resist, he agrees when she’s offered to sweeten the pot. Will Devil regret his bargain?

Fun and sexy, I found this to be a deliciously hot short story. While the plot isn’t anything intriguing or new, I really enjoyed Devil’s strong and confidant personality. And Destiny was a vulnerable heroine who I easily related to and I adored her resilience. Having borrowed money she knew she’d struggle to repay she didn’t cave in when the situation turned nasty on her, she held her spirit and strength close to her and continued to always look for a way out, an opportunity. This fire inside her was what first drew Devil and admittedly it’s the main aspect of Destiny’s character I really related to and loved. The chemistry between them smouldered from the beginning but I also really appreciated how the author didn’t stint on the “getting to know you” time between our two main characters. This helped make the whole story – the romance and sex in particular – feel a lot more realistic and relatable to me.

I really enjoyed how the author managed to balance the usual darker, slight edginess of a usual MC story with hope and some light. Often I find MC stories a bit too dangerous or violent for my personal tastes but I found this story really balanced well between the grittier aspects of real life – poor decisions, imperfect families and facing realities – with the more romantic hope that with trust and the right people life can be a dream and beautiful. I really enjoyed the slow dance between Devil and Destiny and how they came not only to know each other but trust and deeply love one another. The slow, steady building of their relationship was a real pleasure to watch unfold and I know I’ll enjoy this book again in the future.

The first in a new MC series I’ll be keeping an eye out for future installments and can strongly recommend this story to others, particularly those who often don’t enjoy the darker or more violent MC romances.

Takeovers always cause chaos, never more so when the friend you’ve been secretively lusting after for months, chooses that day to suddenly notice you, and then promptly gets himself sacked.

Emma was nervous about the big meeting where the new CEO of the company she works for is being introduced. While Emma works hard her direct supervisor has a tendency to offload important reports at the last minute and overload Emma with dogsbody tasks and Emma is worried that even a new CEO isn’t going to change things. Emma is shocked, therefore, when it turns out one of her few friendly co-workers, Shane, has been subtly and quietly assessing the business from the ground up. And when Emma discovers it’s Shane who is their new CEO things are about to get very heated and very messy.

I really enjoyed this hotly sexy short story. While the plot wasn’t unique – it was a comfortable and well understood story for me. The old trope of business guy meets quiet but sexy colleague can never get dull and I thoroughly enjoyed this take on it. I was particularly pleased that Emma didn’t hold onto her anger with Shane’s “deception” very long. The annoyance at his not telling Emma the truth barely lasted a scene and I was really glad the author didn’t drag that aspect of the story out trying to add in conflict or tension that really wasn’t needed. I felt it highlighted Emma’s kind and generous nature that this conflict was revolved understandably and natural with a very short conversation with Shane, and felt it really showed Emma’s maturity and emotional stability the fact she could see things from Shane’s perspective and that Emma was business savvy enough to know – while not very romantic – it was the smart course of action Shane chose to pursue.

I also loved how the chemistry between the two characters practically drenched the story both before the “big reveal” of Shane’s true status and that the connection and attraction wasn’t dimmed in the slightest once he and Emma were both on the same page. The was a very small amount of kink in this luscious story (a bit of mild spanking and restraints). Readers looking for a strongly BDSM leaning story won’t find that here, but readers who enjoy a bit of role-play or “slap and tickle” should find this story has a little bit of enjoyable spice to it.

Comfortable and sexy, this is a lovely albeit quick read and one I enjoyed.

In the days of the Raj, a newly arrived Scotland Yard detective is confronted with the murder of a British official—in his mouth a note warning the British to leave India, or else . . .

Calcutta, 1919. Captain Sam Wyndham, former Scotland Yard detective, is a new arrival to Calcutta. Desperately seeking a fresh start after his experiences during the Great War, Wyndham has been recruited to head up a new post in the police force. He is immediately overwhelmed by the heady vibrancy of the tropical city, but with barely a moment to acclimatize or to deal with the ghosts that still haunt him, Wyndham is caught up in a murder investigation that threatens to destabilize a city already teetering on the brink of political insurgency.

It is the FDA approved drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. cialis lowest prices Kamagra oral jelly (100mg of Sildenafil) has to viagra generika 50mg be taken once daily. And the TCM views that the pain viagra no prescription usa midwayfire.com is caused by the same reason. This is because parents are concerned about preventing viagra 100mg early sickness or ailments in their child’s life. The body of a senior official has been found in a filthy sewer, and a note left in his mouth warns the British to quit India, or else. Under tremendous pressure to solve the case before it erupts into increased violence on the streets, Wyndham and his two new colleagues—arrogant Inspector Digby and Sergeant Banerjee, one of the few Indians to be recruited into the new CID—embark on an investigation that will take them from the opulent mansions of wealthy British traders to the seedy opium dens of the city.

Captain Sam Wyndham survived the Great War only to come home to London and find his wife recently dead from influenza. Greif-stricken, his world shattered he moves to India, to join the police force in Calcutta and try to start his life once again. Only he’s thrown in the deep end of a perplexing murder case made even more complicated by not knowing the local scene or understanding who is trustworthy and who most certainly is not.

I found this to be a thoroughly amazing book that I picked up on a whim and which I eagerly devoured. Before I reached the half-way point I had already ordered the second book in the series and I fully expect to order the next two after this as well. The author manages to infuse every page with what I found to be a realistic representation of Calcutta in the years following on from the Great War. Set in 1919 I loved the historical time period – one which didn’t shy away from the culture, language or society of the times. While never used in a titillating manner, arrogant British ex-pats called the native locals “wog” or “coolie” and people were treated both by perceived class and race. Considering the time and historical data I found the book to be accurate but with a decent flair for the fictional story as well. I thought the author did an amazing job with this – realistic enough for me to find it thoroughly believable but not rubbing the reader’s face in the less-than-romantic aspects of how humans treated each other a hundred years ago.

Readers looking for a vibrant historical mystery they can really sink into should find this suits their needs admirably. Indeed the mystery plot itself – which I found both interesting and complex – was not so dense or difficult that it over-took the historical setting, nor the fact this story was fully told in the Raj’s Calcutta. I loved the world-building and air the author gave this story. Despite my modern surroundings I frequently fell into the story and could hear the sounds and smell the scents described – I found the whole book thoroughly addictive and am eager for the next installment.

I found the main characters all well layered and interesting. While a number of the central characters felt somewhat cookie-cutter in their stereotypes this didn’t detract from my enjoyment mainly because I feel this adds to some of the genuineness of the time and place the story is held. I also really appreciated how Captain Wyndham – while more enlightened and open-minded than many of his contemporaries – was not some perfect hero on a pedestal. He had emotional and mental wounds from the First World War, not to mention a slight addiction to opiates left over from his recovery from both the War and the devastating death of his wife. Additionally, I found it quite refreshing that Captain Wyndham – fresh off the boat from London – didn’t have a network of spies or helpers when it came to his work as a policeman. Indeed I was impressed the author had Wyndham floundering somewhat for much of the story trying to piece together the political and policing landscape of the new country and culture he found himself in. This is not some mythical grand detective, but a man with flaws as well as a great character and open mind.

This is an interesting and slow-burn mystery novel set in Calcutta in 1919 and I adored every moment. I will be re-reading it again while I wait for the second book in the series to arrive and plan to promptly order the rest of the series. Readers looking for a strongly atmospheric, historical, straight mystery story should not be disappointed in this book. I highly recommend it to all readers.

Liane and Toshi and Mason were lovers once, before the tragedy of Toshi’s death sent them in three very different directions.

Will it be enough for the three of them to let go, and for Liane and Mason to rebuild their relationship? Or will it tear them apart, for good?

Even after ten years, Liane still hadn’t completely got over the death of her first serious boyfriend, Toshi. While at a party catching up with a few friends she hadn’t seen in ages, Liane bumps into Mason, Toshi’s best friend. The still-fresh memories of the threesome they had all shared that single, long-ago night rock Laine and she misses Toshi – and Mason – even more than ever. On Halloween, when the veil is particularly thin, could this be their second chance to get it right?

I really enjoyed this emotional and paranormal threesome story. Get the tissues handy – I can’t recall the last time I cried while reading a good book but this one had me all teary and emotional. Moving and sensual with both hope but also a good dollop of “what could have been” this book really tugged at my heartstrings.

While the threesome sex scene is smoking hot, I have to admit that a drink or two might be needed to suspend disbelief enough to roll with the ghostlike/paranormal aspects to the story. I really loved this short story was more about letting old regrets and missed chances go to rest rather than a strongly build alternate reality. Just relax and go with it. I certainly found that the interactions between the three main characters and the deeply emotional connections tying them all together was well worth a bit of unrealistic plot.

I also felt a minor niggle that even after ten years of grieving and trying to move on – both Mason and Liane were fully grown adults of twenty eight – they still hadn’t reached out to each other to either repair their friendship or at least answer the hurts and emotional wounds they each still carried. Neither of them had changed phone numbers and both admitted had they tried to communicate together they could have – but neither had even tried. That rankled with me a bit – why on earth wait ten years? – but again the connection and chemistry between the three characters, the emotional release of them having one last time together and rebuilding together was so sweet and well written I could overlook these niggles.

I personally really loved this short story though I can understand it might not be every readers favourite. I enjoyed the nostalgia, the deep emotions and the clean pain of releasing deep, old, scarred wounds. For an atmospheric, All Hallows Eve story and a quick, sexy read I found this to be lovely.

Mary Ann Wilson, who lived a life which was proper and palatable; had dormant longings of salaciousness resurrected in the presence of a stranger. His name was Brink. And, this man lived up to his name in taking this tepid housewife willingly into that void of the unknown.

On this cul-de-sac of Chamberlain Court, borrowing a cup of sugar was just the beginning of getting to know your neighbors better.

Brink is a Dom and unashamed of his sexual needs and desires. Will Mary Ann regret her eagerness to welcome their new neighbor onto their street?

I found this to be an interesting short story. The writing style is different to most stories I am used to – quite sparse and succinct. While I often enjoy this style for gritty or noir mystery stories – the lack of description and short, punchy style of writing really lends a tense, terse sort of atmosphere perfect for harder types of mystery or detective stories – I’m not sure this writing style is really suited for romance stories, even erotic ones. With so little detail and a snappy, very bare sort of “voice” it was quite difficult for me to get a good feel for Mary Ann and her personality. While as the reader I certainly knew the basics – she was a mother really feeling her empty nest and searching for a new path in her life – I didn’t get a good understanding of her character until quite a long way into the short story.

Readers looking for a slightly grittier and short story written very leanly should find this writing style suits their tastes. I also feel those looking for a more romantic or softer style of story might not find what they need here. Mary Ann is mostly happily married and indeed remains with her husband – her deal with Brink is quite clear and only to train her in the lifestyle of a part-time submissive. This isn’t an affair of the heart, and in many ways their relationship isn’t considered cheating to either Mary Ann or Brink. While they are physically and sexually intimate Mary Ann and Brink have a clear contract outlining their sessions and what is and isn’t acceptable and what they each wish to achieve with the other.

There are also a few scenes between Brink and his main submissive, Mimi. I feel only readers who enjoy harder edged – more erotic rather than romantic – stories will enjoy the scenes of Mimi pushing her relationship boundaries with Brink and the resulting punishment. I found the harder edge of these scenes coupled with the lean writing style really made this story more a piece of short erotica and not really romantic or sensual. It was hard for me to feel the emotional ties and feelings connecting the main characters to each other and so I feel this story won’t be to everyone’s tastes.

Those looking for something edgier or different from the usual short story should certainly give this a try. While I don’t feel it will be suitable for all readers it was a good, fresh and different read.

She unexpectedly meets Dylan though and everything shifts.

I found this to be an interesting short story and while the paranormal aspects of the world were fairly standard I really enjoyed how Taelyn’s story was somewhat different and refreshing. I personally haven’t read too many stories where a shifter main character has effectively been adopted in and accepted by a non-shifter wolf pack. I found this dynamic to be quite interested and especially in this story I found it to be well written.

The sex scenes were intimate and definitely explicit. I feel readers used to erotic stories should find them enjoyable and satisfying. While the sex is prolific and occurs fairly quickly the author made it seem quite understandable give than Taelyn could certainly feel the mate-bond even though she wanted to give herself time before committing her emotions. Sharing her body was a lot easier than trusting or allowing herself to begin to love Dylan.

While the author did alternate the perspectives between Dylan and Taelyn I personally found it a little harder to connect with Dylan, even though we did get to see things from his perspective as well. I just feel his character was possibly a little more cookie-cutter than Taelyn and so while I liked and enjoyed him I struggled to find something solid to really feel a strong connection to him. This niggle eased a lot for me when we were shown Dylan interacting with his Alpha and later his pack but it took me a little longer than I was expecting to really feel a connection and attachment to him.

With a sexy pace and a really interesting plot I enjoyed this steamy paranormal story. A good, quick read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing paranormal short story. I thought the author did a really good job explaining the various paranormal elements (vampires, seraphs and wraiths – oh my!) and I thought the balance between world-building and progression of the plot was handled exceptionally well. Readers who enjoy a strong sense of paranormal but still retains plenty of regular plot and romance progression should find this story as satisfying as I did.

I also was seriously impressed with the three main characters. Eden, Gideon and Jacob were all individual characters and fairly well-rounded (albeit a little stereotypical) but it was the chemistry and connection between them that I really loved. The author kept the connections between these three deliciously balanced too and I really commend how inter-connected they were. Eden and Gideon had a decade or more of flirting and dancing around their attraction, Eden and Jacob had that delicious first flush of attraction and instant chemistry, and Jacob and Gideon had a seriously smoking hot new-vampire sizzle and connection that nearly burned right off the page. So at no stage did I feel like one of the three was an added extra or slightly superfluous to the ménage and they each added plenty of chemistry and steam to the relationship.

I found the plot was really well handled and quite solid and there was ample time for the relationship between the threesome to develop. The sex – when we finally got there – was deliciously hot and explicit and well, well worth the wait. It’s not often I say this – but I really *really* hope that the author comes back to this world and writes more stories. I’d be totally all over a sequel – or a series of Eden, Gideon and Jacob saving the world one battered woman at a time. I’d also absolutely read any further stories written in this world and running along a similar vein. I will absolutely be keeping an eye out on this author and live in hope.

With a great plot and interesting characters this is a seriously smoking hot and sexy short story. Recommended.

Knox might be the mob boss, but the moment he lays eyes on Leah he wants her. A monster he might be, wicked to the core – but Leah can’t help her attraction to the darkly dangerous Knox.

I found this to be a sexy and well-plotted mob-style short story. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t really feel the chemistry and attraction between Leah and Knox initially – it was hard for me to feel the vibe between the two main characters when Knox was strongly portrayed as an iron-fisted mob kingpin and Leah was just a pawn trying to get herself out of trouble from her brother’s poor choices. The imbalance of power took away a lot of the sexy feel for me, even though Knox appeared to want Leah for his own from the moment he laid eyes on her. Even though they didn’t become fully intimate immediately – which I was grateful for – the relationship progressed very quickly and I couldn’t help but feel much of the growing attraction was due more to Leah going along with the flow rather than a more relatable style of emotional attachment.

The plot of Knox’s business dealings and work enemies was far better balanced to my mind and I really enjoyed this aspect of the story. I felt the pace here was even and progressed at a good clip – it totally retained my attention and in some ways I found this side to the story was far better handled. While the romance growing between Knox and Leah felt uneven and somewhat unrealistic to me, the dangers and problems associated with a mob-style business and issues that need to be handled related to that was written in a far stronger manner and I really enjoyed this half of the story.

Readers looking for a sexy mob-style erotic story may find the romance a little uneven but overall the interesting characters, well drawn and paced plot and descriptive sex scenes should satisfy many readers.

What do you get when your greatest strength lies in not dying easy? If you are lucky and no one confuses you with a pop culture vampire, and if you diet and exercise to keep your weight down, you just might get the girl. But first you have to avoid the hunters on your trail, the cost of replacing your clothing, and get over your phobia about wood.

Only if he overcomes these obstacles will Virgil spend the better part of his afterlife with Barb. If he can survive dating.

Barb is having quite possibly the worst night ever, when she’s rescued by Virgil – a cute stranger who happens to be a vampire. But being undead is nowhere near as glamorous – or exciting – as Barb is expecting and Virgil has no qualms about correcting her many misperceptions on what being undead and living for a really long time is truly like.

Sit back with a huge alcoholic drink, disengage your brain and prepare to laugh and then wince in sympathy at this super funny short story. Barb is totally having the worst luck and evening I’ve ever heard about (the author lost me when the car door closed on Barb’s dress and it ripped right off her body – although the visual was incredibly funny and made me giggle). I was a bit sad that both Barb and Virgil fell pretty much into insta-lust with each other, but couldn’t fault the author for that since this is quite a short story and Barb and Virgil really did just click well together and I was super impressed at how they both connected over blues and music – it really helped sell me on the speed and intensity of how the relationship started between them both. I was also impressed while the attraction between Barb and Virgil was nearly instant, they didn’t just jump directly into bed with each other – that made the whole instant-attraction thing a lot easier for me to handle, when I could get to know their characters a bit better before they became physically intimate.

I loved how Virgil shattered many of Barb’s misconceptions and poor taste in paranormal reading material – I found the whole scene made me laugh out loud and I still giggled upon a second re-read. While the plot aspect of the story was fairly short I enjoyed how it was well-woven throughout the growing romance between Barb and Virgil and also liked how even though it was simple, the plot was coherent and added a good amount of tension to the story as a whole.

Fun and frivolous, with some modern, relatable and outstanding characters, I found this to be a humorous and really enjoyable, sexy romance story.

I picked up this short story having not read any of the previous books in this series. While the family-Christmas holiday aspect of the story stands well alone, there are a half-dozen main characters all paired up from the previous stories and the first few pages felt like a glut of info-dumping where they were all introduced in a rush. Once this had passed I felt the story really evened out into a paranormal holiday story filled with interesting characters and a lot of friendship and love.

Readers looking to catch up on how a number of the previous characters all spent Christmas together should find this an excellent and brief catch-up on how everyone is progressing. The short story is fine as a paranormal shifter family-style Christmas tale but I feel it only really shines when readers already know and are attached to the characters.

Filled with warmth and family-of-choice love this Christmassy short story is a quick and solid read.
