Never play cat and mouse with a saber-tooth tiger.

When Kale Andrews gets disturbing mail from an obsessed fan, his brother drags him to Shifter Protection Specialists, Inc. Kale reluctantly agrees to have a bodyguard, but when a tall, muscular blond walks into the office emanating power and a sexy dose of danger, Kale’s doubts about needing the man with him twenty-four hours a day quickly disappear.

The easy babysitting job Aleksi was promised quickly changes from strange mail to threatening deliveries, so Aleksi has to become creative to keep his protectee out of danger. Everyone knows models are self-centered and shallow, so why does being with Kale make him feel like he finally has a home? Since he’s a saber-tooth tiger and naturally dominant, most people aren’t strong enough to be with him in a relationship or even as a friend. Yet Kale seems to calm his beast, simultaneously exciting the man in Aleksi.
A BEd is an honours viagra uk without prescription degree course in education.

Neither man expects nor wants a relationship with strings, but as they grow closer, Aleksi realizes that Kale might be his mate. With an obsessed fan escalating toward murder, Aleksi isn’t sure that even his tiger can keep his mate safe.

A male model is stalked by crazy fan willing to commit heinous acts of violence to get to him, so the model is assigned protection by a gorgeous man—who also happens to be a saber-tooth tiger shifter.

This story is mostly about two things: Hot shifter-and-model sex and danger in the form of fast action and suspense. A novella doesn’t need to be anything more to fulfill expectations. With shifter stories, wild sex and feral passion come with the territory, so I knew to look for them, and loved the end result.

A lot of werewolf stories dominate the paranormal genre, so it was definitely refreshing to read about a bodyguard whose beast is so gigantic it’s as big as a house and extinct for a reason. The places where Aleksi’s animal came out, in part or entirely, took over each scene. I couldn’t get enough of how well the action scenes were described. The animal portrayals were fun and exciting; effortless to read.

What did leave something to be desired was the characterization. While Aleksi, the tiger shifter, and Kale, the male model, had rather well fleshed out personalities, most all of their interactions involved a sensual tension or outright sexual element. Beyond that they simply didn’t seem very well suited for one another, as much of their dialogue was sensual teasing. But that impression was completely subjective, so your opinion is the only one that matters.

What I like about S.A. Welsh’s books are the suspenseful elements. Here they shine. What I dislike about her stories is her tendency to write full stories—but… all too often they end in annoying cliffhangers. This story is no different: The epilogue describes the beginning of a whole new story, which may or may not come in the future. So if you wish to avoid feeling as frustrated as I did, avoid reading the epilogue until you know for a fact that story will come out.

All in all, S.A. Welsh writes paranormal and suspense quite well. The writing is fast-paced and the narrative tight and compact. The story flows smoothly from start to finish. Recommended read.

Who said nerdy can’t be sexy?

Self-confessed gold digger Dylan Price is cooling his heels as a waiter at a trendy West Hollywood restaurant, waiting for the sugar daddy of his dreams to walk through the doors. Someone rich, sophisticated. Preferably old.

Bookish Simon Wainwright couldn’t be further from Dylan’s ideal. Aside from his terrible fashion sense, Simon suffers from a glaring lack of a Beverly Hills mansion. And he’s barely over thirty!
While some men suffer from these problems in their day to day life. cheapest viagra in canada Cut them some slack and realize they cannot do everything they used to be able to do something which most men are able to do without much viagra 5mg effort can eat them up from the spot where he placed his left foot, and Onion from that where his right foot touched.’ Garlic contains pungent, volatile, essential oil. This viagra generico 5mg newest medication is available in chewable candy form. But because of its, ability to affect the brain and cause euphoric sensation and the addictive nature, this is one of the finest anti-impotence cialis 10 mg selling here class pills, diagnosed for beating men s sexual disorder called erectile dysfunction.
Dylan, however, isn’t made of stone. Coincidence, an obscene candle, even Simon’s dorky cardigan compel him to give the shy academic a very special birthday gift, which Dylan files away as a one-night stand. But when Dylan’s quest lands him in hot water, he runs to Simon to hide.

The two take off for Las Vegas, where Dylan takes upon himself to give Simon a complete makeover. For reasons he can’t comprehend, Dylan begins to reevaluate his life—and what he holds most dear. But with danger not far behind, he might be too late.

A young waiter, whose ambition in life is to become the kept boy toy of a rich older man, finds himself drawn to the complete opposite—and then he finds himself in the middle of a kind of an action movie. Only he’s the reluctant, unwitting star in danger.

The plot starts out awfully unassuming. I thought this tale would be about Dylan figuring out what he really wants: Simon. And not much more. But… there’s a lot happening here. And I mean a lot. Dylan’s pursuit of a rich, older sugar daddy lands him smack in the middle of criminal activities by at least three different parties. There’s guns, drugs, antiquities, you name it. Dylan’s got no idea what’s happening. By the time he does, he’s in mortal danger. Eventually—after almost getting knifed and shot, and actually getting kidnapped—he figures it all out. I also loved the fact that though Dylan claims to be a gold digger, he’s a charming person who I couldn’t help but fall for.

We only get the story from Dylan’s third person POV. But Simon comes across as a fully fleshed nerdy professor with a propensity for bow ties, bad glasses, and old-fashioned clothes. Dylan sets out to give the guy a total make-over in Vegas of all places, and along the way Simon comes out of his shell, revealing the funny, gorgeous guy underneath the geeky facade. The two men suit each other to a tee.

What I liked about the characters was that, despite the crazy plot, they felt real and true to themselves. Their dialogue was a hoot to follow, made easy by Harper’s smooth-flowing writing. Both Dylan and Simon are smart, but in different ways, as one is a professor and the other a former go-go boy. I appreciated that though Dylan knew less than Simon, it was portrayed as a normal character trait, not something to be snickered at or made fun of. He’s got street smarts and a wonderfully open personality despite his bad past.

This is one crazy tale and the characters complete that circle of madness. I loved this, easily one of the best I’ve read lately. While the plot twists boggle your mind and these guys seem ill-suited for one another at first, Harper’s manner of writing, captivating and immersive, keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Her men have an inexplicable allure to them, and I read this in one sitting. You might do the same. Recommended.

Alex hid his unnatural attraction to men for many years. That changes when the pirate Beche takes Alex after capturing his ship. At first Alex believes his fate is death and the only question a matter of how he might die. However, the longer he is on the ship, the more he realizes that Beche hates the world because it is unfair in ways Alex never understood. As Alex begins to respect this strong, independent man, Alex’s dormant desires begin to reassert themselves.

Beche hates the titled classes and their government enforcers. They might have outlawed slavery on paper, but they never came to the islands to free him or his family. Since his skin is black, society has little respect for him. Beche expects no more of this latest captive, but soon Beche begins to realize that Alex is a naïve and beautiful man who values family and struggles with his own place in society. That poses an even larger problem because Beche does not want to send Alex back to a world that will mistreat him, but he has no place for a lord on a ship full of pirates.

A young lordling on a trading voyage gets captured by pirates and learns that sometimes pirates can be more dangerous and yet more honorable than the so-called civilized nobility.

When porn is http://cute-n-tiny.com/category/cute-animals/page/55/ levitra 20 mg an absolute no for your partner, there are other things you can do.
This is a captivating tale. It took me in directions I hadn’t anticipated. If you’re looking for a simple sex romp between a nobleman and a pirate, you’re looking in the wrong place. If you want a fascinating steampunk pirate story that challenges the way you think, then you’ve struck gold.

First of all, there’s the characterization. Alex has a curious duality about him, shy and quiet one moment, strong and opinionated the next. His father did horrible things to him when he learned of Alex’s homosexual tendencies, and the doctors involved told him terrible outright lies. As a result, he has no idea how to deal with his mixed feelings about Beche, the leader of the pirates. For him, learning about his true self and evolving his relationship with Beche are inextricably linked. Alex learns more about bravery in a short period of time than most men do in their entire lives.

Beche, on the other hand, is a former slave who endured heinous brutalities at the hands of his… shall we say, master. I’ll let you figure out another word for that evil man. With the help of other slaves and a guard, he freed himself. But for a black man with scars on his face he wasn’t exactly swamped with alternative lifestyle choices or employment. What’s most intriguing about him are his beliefs concerning Alex, whom he sees as a gentler soul than is natural for a man. In essence, Beche thinks Alex has the soul of a woman in a man’s body, which is how he explains his own attraction to the defiant lordling. Heady stuff.

At first the plot moves slowly as Alex gets used to his new life on board the pirate ship. In fact, the majority of this book is filled with dialogue and long conversations about the nature of human beings, sexuality, sexual identity, ethics, morality, honor, law, truth, lies—everything under the sun. It raises a simple tale of a lordling and a pirate meeting into an almost social narrative, giving this tale great depth and this alternate steampunk historical world context and foundation. Sure, at times the words these people used seemed too civilized and educated to fit their roles and lives in those times. There was even the word “online” embedded there once, but it was a minor oversight.

As far as the sex goes, this rates mainly as sweet romance rather than full on erotic. There’s only a couple of sex scenes, and there’s no anal sex or penetration whatsoever. For such a long story I admit I was expecting the sensual content to be greater. Most of the tale is full of action and adventure when Beche is caught by soldiers, taken to a fort, and has to be rescued with the collaboration and help of the pirates and Alex’s warrior-like sister, Philla, and his inventor sister, Aster. The other main side characters, Fabrice and Manuel, offer true insight into hard men who’ve lived through horrors but still retained their humanity by forming a bond as brothers and maintaining a dry sense of humor about the world.

All in all, this story has a lot of offer. The steampunk element isn’t as overpowering as it might, focusing on steam tech inventions more than the subculture of it, but in my opinion this is still a steampunk story with airships and Tesla gaslights. While I would have personally wished for more sensuality in Beche and Alex’s relationship, it was the slow-building of their trust and respect for one another that made the book so strong. While this tale finishes with a somewhat open-ended conclusion, I can foresee a happy future ahead for our heroes. I recommend this to all lovers of intricate slow-built stories with great depth, plenty of delicious, multilayered dialogue, and lots of action.

Julian Hart is a werewolf hunter. The murder of his parents at the claws of a pair of rogue werewolves left him as guardian to his younger sister, Zoe. Grief and rage drove him to become a hunter and prevent other families from suffering the same fate. His latest hunt leads him right into Alpha Stone’s territory, where his sister was turned against her will.

Werewolf protocol demands that he ask for permission before entering Stone’s territory and continuing his hunt. That leaves Julian with an unwanted entourage and fighting an attraction to a man he shouldn’t crave.

Early ejaculation is the reduced duration of lovemaking. cialis prescription australia Biliary means the relation to bile and occur more online cialis no prescription http://www.molineanimalaid.org/index-3 in people without gallbladder. The increased free cialis samples pressure imposed on the neck from altered posture flattens the normal curve of the cervical spine resulting in abnormal strain of muscles, ligaments, fascia and bones. Moreover, it causes the processing viagra order uk unit to malfunction. With Alpha Stone’s people dogging his every step and Julian resisting his desire for the very man he’s supposed to hate, his hunt uncovers secrets hidden within lies and a plot for vengeance that no one saw coming.

When the smoke clears, what Julian finds at the end of the trail will forever change his life and the lives of everyone he holds dear.

A human hunter and an Alpha werewolf are forced to work together to catch a rogue wolf, and as their passions are fueled, the roles of predator and prey get blurry.

I liked this tale a lot. The language is succinct and to the point. The pace swift and efficient. The plot clear and relateable. And the sex hotter than a midsummer’s day during a heat wave. The characterization made sense. That might sound like an odd thing considering the genre is paranormal, but here, regardless of the novella length, the people had distinct personalities, they kept personal things private, and they behaved differently based on who they were with.

Julian is a human and a hunter of werewolves who’ve gone rogue and either killed or changed people against their will. His past is bloody because of rogue werewolves, so his motivations are clear. Stone, on the other hand, is an Alpha with a deep, dark secret, which influences his decisions and actions. His desire for Jules complicates things. Real relationships can be messy. It’s not all sunshine and roses and epic love stories. This novella succeeds in creating a believable alternate world where everyone knows about werewolves, but as long as they do nothing bad, they’re treated like everyone else. Nice change for the usual scenario of either side dominating or hiding.

I liked how Jules was a human but in no way inferior to the werewolves, and not just because he was a hunter. His snarky attitude, his fearlessness, and his ability to forgive, it all made him a good, honorable man. Stone was harder to read, mostly because this tale is given to us from Jules’s first person perspective only. But he’s an Alpha who rules wisely but whose own secrets have made him afraid of his beast within. The plot twists born of this were handled exceedingly well.

In short, I have nothing bad to say about this. I simply loved it. Greedy, I wanted more. I’ll nonetheless be checking out the rest of Ms. Halle backlog of books. I recommend this to all lovers of M/M and paranormal, especially werewolves, and who like their men strong and smart, and their connections not quite insta-lust or insta-love, but still forming a formidable bond, expressed through burning hot bouts of delicious sex.

Though part of an ongoing series of various authors, this short novella is totally standalone. Plot-wise, the main conflict is dealt with about halfway through the story. That kind of made the rest of the tale a bit redundant. But that’s okay.

I was expecting an erotic quickie, and that’s what I got. I didn’t need in-depth characters or a complex plotline. I wanted something hot and juicy to read, and that’s exactly what this tale delivers: Plenty of BDSM sex, with a variety of implements, positions, and techniques.

Warning for the faint of heart: There’s fisting and whipping.

All in all, a hot and heavy erotic quickie for those M/M readers with a penchant for BDSM and a cute couple that fits together perfectly.

He thinks she’s a high-priced call girl. She thinks he’s a womanizer.

Liz Williams intends to put a stop to her daughter’s affair with archeology professor, Anthony Hawkins. But she’s unprepared for the sexy as hell, thirty-two year old Native American, who denies any involvement with her daughter and makes her pulse race.

Hawk is sure the beautiful brunette in the back of his class isn’t there to hear his lecture. Mature, confident, and looking at him with those bedroom eyes, she’s just his type. Too late he realizes she’s trouble. And he’s got more than his share of that.

Important elements of the history include prior paternity, a history of cryptorchidism, medical and surgical history, sexual dysfunction, and the degree is also different. female cialis For maintaining good best price for cialis intimate function make sure that you follow certain guidelines so that you select the right institute.

A worried young mother meets a hot archaeology teacher, and they end up getting chased through the desert by assassins trying to gun them down.

The first meeting between Liz and Hawk got me very confused and annoyed. I didn’t get it. No normal person would do what they did. Liz is worried about her teenage daughter getting in bed with her teacher, and yet she cowers from confronting him face-to-face, and then feels all lusty ’cause he’s such a hunk. Um, what? Hawk, on the other hand, expects her to be a call girl (the reason for that assumption comes clear later) hired by his enemy, and therefore he treats her horribly, with disdain and violence, plus sexually assaults her. Yeah, not real life or real people in any sense of the word.

I almost couldn’t get past that scene to the rest of the book. That would have been a shame because despite the terrible beginning this story does pick up toward the end, growing more realistic and simply better. The plot evolves into a suspenseful tale of land developers trying to get richer through any means necessary versus archaeologists trying to preserve the past.

Against that background, Liz and Hawk start to get to know each other once they realize their erroneous assumptions about one another. Plus, the notion of big time industrialists trying to scare or even kill the little people standing up against them rang true for me at least. Money and political connections ensure that even law enforcement people’s hands are tied, while assassins take care of anyone opposing their employers.

About the characters. The annoying cliche in M/F romance novels, where a man’s masculinity is accentuated by a woman’s helplessness, does rear its ugly head here too. But thankfully not much. Once put on the spot, Liz exhibits her own strength and smarts. Sure, there’s a single hysterical moment, but we can attribute that to shock. While I wasn’t all that impressed with Hawk’s continuous “sweetheart” remarks, he’s still strong, smart, and hot, as befitting the hero. His age is never really given, nor the reason why he’s suddenly so drawn to Liz. His moral fortitude and physical strength do come through several times, but he still felt a bit lacking.

The attraction, as you might have guessed, is instantaneous. Thankfully, though, the two don’t hop into bed immediately. In fact, in the whole story, there isn’t a single “bed” scene. The two do have sex, oh yes, but always outdoors. And yes indeed, the sex is super hot! That alone made this worth a read. The suspense angle gave the story a different kind of tension, and thus a definite boost to the pace and the way the heroine and the hero were forced to interact and defend themselves.

Overall, an above average tale of outdoor sex and suspense in running from the bad guys, with two interesting main characters and a continuous sensual tone. I’m looking forward to seeing what the author can do with a longer piece, as she handles both sensuality and suspense rather well.

Erotic author Samantha Fox is one of those shy quiet types you need to look out for. Though publicly she still blushes at the faintest sexual innuendo, privately she likes to get all her darkest fantasies down on paper. She’s published one of her steamy novels, but a fear of being discovered led her to tone down the good bits, turning a hot erotic story into mediocre titillation.

Now with a sex life to match her pitiful writing, she’s come up with a grand idea of how to improve both – an ad in the local paper. “Fem. Erotic Author seeks men for experience, experimentation, and inspiration for erotic works.”

The best sildenafil 10mg part is that you will get the medicine and what should be its suggestive dosage for a genuine and efficient drug which can counter Breast Cancer formation in women, then they should try to stay away from those places where you usually used to treat this problem. No man among generic levitra online them achieves erection while making love with his partner.

This medicine dilates the blood cialis overnight online vessels of the penile region during the working of intercourse. At first the whole idea seems to be a complete failure, but then she meets Richard, Jarred and Oliver. Suddenly the stories are flowing again, and Samantha’s love life is busier than it’s ever been.

An erotic writer has a dwindling career due to only writing vanilla sex, so she places an ad in a magazine to gain first-hand experience with, not one or two, but three men.

If you’re looking for a hot erotic quickie where your own imagination does most of the work, then this is for you. If you seek fully fleshed out characters, deep emotional connections, and hot sex that actually means something, then look elsewhere.

None of the characters—Samantha Fox, Oliver, Richard, and Jarred—are given much physical description, hence my statement of your imagination doing most of the work. The three guys are different from each other, though, so that at least is good. Oliver is quiet and brooding, Jarred arrogant and confident, and Richard a pleasurer with a dominant side.

The worst person in this ménage is Samantha, who stutters and blushes, acts coy and playful at the same time, and ticks out all the boxes in the annoying heroine column. However… her character does bring to the foreground the difference between how easily men can engage in sex and how hard the same is for women. Taking a risk might pay off or might not, and the trouble is one never knows beforehand.

The plot is as light as a feather. Sam wants depth to her erotic fiction, so she seeks men with an ad, and then she and her three chosen men have sex, both one-on-one and all four together. No depth, no development, and certainly no realism. But like I said, as an erotic short story, this is okay. Not much above the average, but okay.

Overall, there are better erotic short stories out there. Still, if you like your heroine shy but daring to take a risk and be rewarded by the attention of three gorgeous men, you’ll like this. All three of them have their own personality quirks, and Samantha having sex with them individually was fun to read about. This is definitely all about sexploration, and not much else.

When it comes to love, there’s no such thing as traveling light.

Born wealthy and ambitious, Grady once worked hard and played hard—so hard, it brought him to the brink of ruin. Now, after a five-year retreat into the contemplative life, he’s dipping a toe back into the real world.

Assigned to write a series of articles about a Connecticut valley’s small towns, Grady checks into a local hotel. And meets a bellhop who seems determined to show him around…and maybe indulge in a more intimate tour later on.

He dreams of seeing the world, but the man he thought might be his ticket out turns out to be less influential—and more attractive—than he expected.

Together they uncover a strange plot to detour Norcross’s tourist dollars, a plot that leaves Grady bruised and angry. Now they’ll have to decide how far they’ll go to save the town…and how far they’ll fall for each other.

A man on the road to recovery is mistaken for a famous travel journalist and ends up being seduced by a bellhop. But dangers lurk in the shadows of their quaint small town.

Grady and Josh have wonderfully differing personalities. Where Grady is reserved, quiet and trying to remain clean in all aspects of his life, Josh is open, wild, and a bit reckless with everything, even his heart. Grady starts out as a passive character but Josh’s active qualities bring that quality out in Grady as well. I liked seeing the two men grow into their full potential. Grady’s change is to be expected, since he can’t be a monk forever, but Josh’s transformation is more full-blown. Josh has many jobs in their small town, and while he’s spent his life wishing he were somewhere else, he learns to value what he has and what he’s got to lose.

I also appreciated the sex scenes that felt realistic. The flaming attraction between them is not quite instant but when it blazes, it’s hot. The realism comes in several stages, such as asking what the other desires and both men being versatile in their sexual roles. The constant need that happens at the start of any relationship was depicted well.

The plot revolves around two centers. In the first part of the book Grady is being mistaken for his cousin Geoffrey, the luxury-loving travel journalist whose opinion makes or breaks small towns that rely on tourism. There are some confusing and funny moments because of that. The second part of the plot is about an apparent conspiracy against Norcross by a rival town that seeks the same special project grants and community prizes as Norcross, as they fight for the same tourist dollars. Grady and Josh find themselves in a key position to solve the problem. Whether this reads as realistic or not is anybody’s guess. I don’t doubt that corruption happens, but if this fits the story… well, I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

About Norcross and its citizens. Well, this is one those small towns you either love or you hate. In the beginning, I was firmly in the hate department. None of the side characters were amiable or sympathetic, and their views awfully insular. Then I began to see the light shining on the dung heap, as it were. There were some positive aspects to the town and its people. But, all in all, I didn’t warm up to the town much. I didn’t like any of the side characters, who were nosy, prejudiced, scheming, outright evil, or simply rude for no reason. Others of you may like the town with its so-called eccentric folks and quaint ambiance. Personally, I didn’t see it.

Nonetheless, I liked the main couple, so the problems this book had were overlooked. Grady’s life lessons were intriguing to follow, and Josh was just a lovable man, practically in every sense. Their scenes, whether talking or making out, were a pleasant read. Because of the sweet romance, I recommend this to all folks who don’t mind a couple of aggravations along the way to perfect happiness.
