During a freak storm, a man lost in the storm shows up at her converted barn and lets himself in, coming face to face with the spitting image of himself, carved in ice. Elric Frosti is every woman’s dream come true, and the only question becomes, will she accept eternity with this man?

These are thirteen hot and sexy stories, each with a great set of characters and lots of humor and imagination. These are fun to read, and each has a unique holiday theme to it. I loved the different happy ever afters for each one, and I recommend lots of ice and maybe a few spare batteries.

Message in a bottle.

Somewhere in the cobwebbed cellar of the decrepit antebellum mansion known as Ballineen are the legendary Lee bottles — and Austin Gillespie is there to find them. The last thing on his mind is a hot and heavy romance with handsome bad boy Jeff Brady. But Jeff has other ideas and, after one intoxicating night, so does Austin.

The only problem is they have different ideas. Jeff doesn’t believe in love at first sight, and even if he did, he’s buried more deeply in the closet than those famous missing bottles of vintage Madeira. Popping a cork or two is one thing. Popping the question? No way. No how.

Unless Austin is ready to give up on another dream, he’s going to have to figure out how to make sure the lights go on — and stay on — in Georgia.

The lure of a possible fortune in wine, a handsome bad boy and murder – and poor Austin’s just arrived at Ballineen. All the elements of Southern Gothic are here in abundance: the decadence, the decay, a highly dysfunctional, wealthy clan in decline, lives bound by traditions worn about the edges and questionable morals. Once the elements are in place, though, Mr. Lanyon turns the genre on its head. Much to my relief, this is not the heavy, plodding miasma of Faulkner. Austin’s observations and internal commentary render the story darkly funny rather than depressing, and the Cashels are close enough to over-the-top to qualify as parody. (Even the Irish place-name of the house is a sly wink at Gone With the Wind’s Tara.)

As a sommelier, that rare breed of person who truly has the ability to distinguish all the subtle nuances of a good wine rather than simply mouthing the right oenological terms, Austin could easily have come across as an elitist snob. Instead, he immediately charms the reader. Without too much in the way of “telling”, we know in the first few paragraphs that Austin faces his task at Ballineen with a certain sense of imminent disaster. The effect of the drug lasts up to four hours (30min and 4hours) prior to performing sexual intercourse. levitra on line Today, a many internet-based online suppliers have come up with ease of availability and provide the medicine t the doorstep. buying levitra from canada Their interventions viagra cialis achat focus on batterer accountability and responsibility. Proper devensec.com purchase cheap viagra diet – Taking proper diet is the most crucial thing to ensure the removal of the uric acid flows in the blood stream and departs through kidneys. This is a man whose reputation and livelihood are at stake, and yet he maintains a healthy level of sardonic wit about the whole mess (“Just make a hard right after the end of the civilized world.”) Despite his father’s disapproval, the occasional snarky remarks from people who don’t know better, and a former stint as an underwear model, Austin has no doubts about his identity. He is both gay and a sommelier and makes no apologies for either.

Jefferson Brady, who soon becomes Austin’s lust interest, is another story. Selectively closeted, Jeff sleeps with men, but bristles at the suggestion that he might be gay. The tension between the two men, the constant push and pull of identity and assumption, of denial and doubt, lends a tinderbox snap and spark to the story, delicious and anxious. With an unwavering single first-person POV, Mr. Lanyon lets the reader see enough of Austin’s life and his past that we desperately want to see him happy. Perhaps the only issue I had with the story, and it’s a small one, is that I would have liked a little more at the resolution. Call me sentimental.

Though I’m a bit embarrassed to admit it, this was my first Josh Lanyon book. It most certainly won’t be my last. With beautiful, literate prose, he weaves a tale that defies categorization, (Southern Gothic Parody Mystery Oenological Gay Romance is not a genre I’ve come across before) and he does it with style. At no point did I find it necessary to suspend disbelief. Austin’s knowledge of and love for wine comes across as genuine, as an integral part of his character. His over-achieving family, Jeff’s deeply closeted denial, and even some of the neurotic Cashels transcend parody, all too believable in their worst moments. With love scenes that achieve lyric status and a bright, engaging mix of humor and tension, this is not your garden-variety romance. This is a Château Margaux among the Gallos.

Life’s a bitch, so far as beautiful biochemist Lily McKinney is concerned. You work hard, and then you die. And even if you do find a man to fall in love with, he breaks your heart. Now she’s determined to discover the biochemical causes of that sticky, confusing emotion called love — so she can make sure she never has to feel it again.

But when she’s shipped off unwillingly to Myrtle Beach for three weeks’ vacation, Lily learns she knows even less about life — and love — than she thought, as the carnal attentions of two handsome strangers teach her that not even the world’s greatest scientists can unravel the mysteries of the human heart.

Take one workaholic scientist, add one meddling boss and you get two scrumptious hunks to fulfill your every need. At least Lily McKinney does in this wicked hot story by Sierra Dafoe.

Heartbroken scientist Lily McKinney is trying to solve the mystery of love. I couldn’t figure out why she was looking for the chemical reason when even I, a non-scientific person, know that love can’t really be explained.

Poor Lily doesn’t know that her boss is setting her up when he bars her from her laboratory and makes Lily take a very long overdue vacation. I found Lily true to her single-minded scientific self when she takes her computer and research with her. I laughed when Lily reasoned out the layout of the beach house and what bedroom to take while staying there. The vivid descriptions Ms. Dafoe used had me seeing the entire home through Lily’s eyes.

I especially loved the description of Lily’s pool side encounter. It was so hot, even a dip in a cold pool if I had one, would not have brought down my temperature. I was delightfully surprised by the occupations of Tyler and Alex. They were a perfect match for Lily.

Another great thing about the book was the quote at the beginning of each chapter. I loved that they were from mathematicians, physicist, a Nobel Prize winner and the like. I especially like the ones from Einstein. They fit each chapter well and I could tell they were well researched.

Ms. Dafoe definitely has a hot story with Life’s a Beach. It left me wanting to know more of their lives after the beach house. I’m wishing for a sequel and I hope you agree.

If it feels right, do it…even if it could get you killed.

Bound and Tied, Book 1

After months of isolation—and celibacy—claim partners Zach Braun and Jake Thompson finally discover gold. And, as their celebration spills over into forbidden lust, an unexpected sexual attraction to each other rises. Then they discover they’re not alone…and the spy is trying to make off with their clothes and their gold.

On the run from an Indian captor, parson’s widow Honor Whitaker is hungry, desperate, and determined to never let another man control her. Stumbling upon two men touching each other in an extraordinary way, she finds herself mesmerized by their tryst. And scandalously aroused by a totally different kind of hunger.

Catching the little thief is easy, but Zach can think of only one way to silence Honor’s panicked babbling. Kiss her senseless. One sample of her delightful lips leads to more…then to a night where Zach and Jake show her that a man’s control over her body isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Even as the three learn to let go of the notion that pleasure is the devil’s work, someone else is watching. Someone who’s out to reclaim what’s his.

You are running through the woods trying to escape the Indian who has held you captive for the past six weeks and you stumble upon two hot, hot, hot gold miners in a lake enjoying the pleasures of each other’s body. What do you do next? Myla Jackson’s Honor Bound will show you.

The men are just a couple of simple miners who are looking for a break and a real family life. They are kind, sympathetic, and dedicated to their goals and to each other.

The setting is perfect for the situation and the author describes it beautifully. Unfortunately the length of the book does not allow for what could be so much more in this story. Sit back, enjoy it for the short story that it is and look forward to the upcoming stories.

Gamma wolf Steffan may have been in love with his best friend for years, but he knows that’s not enough. Francis deserves a more dominant mate, and Steffan intends to make sure he gets one.

Steffan has been best friends with Francis ever since the younger wolf joined the pack after his own parents died. He’s been in love with him for just as long. But when a new beta joins their pack, he knows it’s time to step aside and let Francis form a bond with a more dominant wolf.

Francis has no idea why Steffan’s been acting so strangely since the new wolves joined their pack. When he discovers the truth, he starts to question things he’d never thought to doubt before. What if he has no interest in a dominant mate? What if he could find the perfect partner far closer to home?

Everything is about to change for Francis and Steffan. The only question is: are the gammas strong enough to cope?

The cub decided to pursue the bear… or should I say wolf. I have heard of the phrase bears and cubs within the gay community but I never knew this term carried over to the werewolf community.

Steffan was the stand out character in this story. We all know at least one person in our lives who is a gentle giant like Steffan. You look at them and never think that they can be insecure especially when it comes to their size, but that is exactly the case with him. He was a sweetheart who I just wanted to see be happy in the end and if Francis made him happy than I wanted him to get his man.

Francis is no slouch, either as a character. He has the inner strength of a true wolf.

Even if he needs to tie Steffan up and demand that he realize they belong together. While Steffan is tied up there may be a few other things they can do also.

The conflict in this story left me a little baffled. I understood why Gunnar felt as if Steffan was a threat but the tension between the two was very wishy washy. One moment Gunnar seemed to want to beat Steffan up then the next he wanted to help Steffan and Francis work their problems out. The conflict also felt incomplete. This is part of a series so it may be carried over to the next story but I did not get a feeling that it was something that was purposefully left open-ended.

Regardless, it was the relationship development within this story that kept me turning pages. It flowed so seamlessly I continued to read until I was suddenly at the end. It is clear from the beginning that these two only have eyes for each other. The journey they take to reach a point of knowing they are true mates is one that will mesmerize anyone who picks up this story.

This story would also make a nice introduction to BDSM. Because the characters are just getting introduced to the BDSM games the reader gets to learn along with them.

For a story with strong, loving characters and plenty of heat, I recommend Pack Discipline: The Strength of a Gamma.

Though Lillian Devereaux would enjoy being back in her jeans drinking coffee at the corner café, she must do her job. Naked under the ancient robe, she walks to the cell where the Conclave’s two immortal prisoners are kept.

Reno’s new immortal life sucks. Day one, he’s captured by cult followers. When he sees Lillian entering his cell, everything about her, much more than his chains, holds him hostage.

Titus has been imprisoned by the cult for centuries. The moment he spots Lillian, primal hunger rises up inside him. Still, his ancient hate won’t go down without a fight, despite his growing desire for the new high priestess.

Lillian performs the seduction ceremony on Titus and Reno, and cravings take hold of all of them. Will the threesome let hate pull them apart or despite the evil pursuing them, will they hold on to their new love for each other?

Lillian Devereaux would like nothing more than to be a normal young woman. But she knows that those things that most mortals believe are just fictional characters-demons, jinns, angels and other immortal beings-are all too real.

Trained since childhood to take her place as a High Priestess in the Conclave of the Bloodline, she is a bloodliner, a human with the ability to draw power from these immortals and use it to empower others of her kind. But she discovers that the Conclave is just another kind of evil, and when she meets the shade, Reno, and the phantom, Titus, who will take her virginity and empower her, she discovers something she has been searching for-a reason to break free of the Conclave and all that it stands for.

What they become, together, is a Perfect Triad, and more powerful than she believed possible.

Can these three find a way to escape the Conclave and its evil high priest? Will they find happiness, and love together? Or will they be always on the run, hiding from the Conclave?

This is a short but hot story, set in the world of the Eternally Three universe, but just outside the main stories of angels and jinns. I always enjoy my forays into this world that Kris Cook has created, and this one is just as interesting as the rest. And it does tie up some loose ends from the books, like how Eric got the book of Timu that is quoted often.
Although it is short, there is plenty of hot and delicious action here.

I liked watching Lillian grow a backbone. She started out as a subservient, timid girl, doing as everyone told her. But she grew to realize that the Conclave was wrong for her and chose to do something about it. I loved watching her find love with her two ‘victims’ and foiling the plans of the Conclave high priest by engineering their escape.

Reno and Titus are both unique characters. I’m used to the angels and jinns of this world, but with Titus, a centuries old phantom, and Reno, a newly born shade, we are introduced to more of the immortal denizens of this unique world. Titus is the dominant male, and he plays the role quite well, pushing all the right buttons for optimum response from Lillian. Reno is new to the game, but willing to do whatever it takes to keep Lillian interested.

This actually is a prequel to the events in the other books in this world, and it answers some questions that were of concern in the two books I had already read. This is an excellent addition to the series, and I enjoyed it. This is a must have addition.

If you want a story that’s got three sexy men learning the dips and valleys of each other’s bodies, then you need to read Carnal Connections. I give this book 3 cherries.

Shattered by the loss of his wife, Callum Reed is a man surrounded by rules designed to protect him. He has found the perfect submissive in Gaby Sullivan, until she breaks his cardinal rule.

After three years of perfect obedience, Gaby declares she wants love. Love isn’t in their contract, so Cal lets her go. But Gaby has a secret reason for leaving. When Cal discovers the truth, nothing will stop him from following her. On a secluded island paradise, Callum will do anything to prove he’s the perfect Master for his defiant, loving sub.

I don’t think I could have enjoyed this book more.

Cal and Gaby have been living happily under the terms of their dominant/submissive contract for three years until Gaby asks Cal if he loves her. When Cal says that’s not part of their deal, Gaby leaves him. Gaby actually leaves him for another reason. When I read the book’s description, the Harlequin Present’s addict in me thought she was pregnant. Actually Gaby has breast cancer and doesn’t want to burden Cal with her illness. When Cal finds out that Gaby was ill ten months later, he goes charging after her.

Cal is a dominant who was damaged by his relationship with his late wife. Cal married his wife when he was 18 because she was the only person who ever needed him. They fell into a dominant and submissive relationship because it gave her a structure she needed. In truth his late wife was depressed, and needed, but refused psychiatric help. When Cal meets Gaby he was immediately captivated and they started their relationship within two weeks. Cal feels bound by a promise to his late wife that affects his relationship with Gaby. What is truly neat about Away from Me is that the true character growth curve we see is for Cal not Gaby. Cal’s growth to a person who can accept his love for Gaby and adapt to be the person she needs is breathtaking.

Gaby leaving Cal because she has cancer is not because she does not believe he will support her, rather something much more loving. One of the most interesting comparisons between Gaby and Cal’s late wife in the book was their first day living together. Cal laid out clothes for Gaby to wear, and as Cal says, “I remember that you told me if I liked the clothes so much, I could wear them.” I couldn’t help a small laugh when I read this.

When Cal comes after Gaby at her job managing a sex resort the true fun starts. Although Gaby did leave Cal she still responds to his dominance. The give and take in this part of the book is beautiful. Gaby and Cal’s sexual tension is electric. In addition, the lusciously detailed sex scenes were hot. They left me with a happy smile on my face. I will mention here that although I saw the character growth curve as Cal’s, Gaby does learn to accept her body changes with Cal. What Cal does at the climax was touching. His willingness to go against his nature to give Gaby what she needs is beautiful.

Ms. Oak’s writing is clear and pulls you in from the first sentence. Ms. Oak’s handling of breast cancer was sensitive and touching. Having lost my mother to cancer earlier this year I wouldn’t have read this book if I had known that was her secret reason for leaving. But I really did enjoy the book and no scars were opened.

If you are looking for a beautiful BDSM romance with strong, multidimensional characters and hot sex look no further. I highly recommend Away from Me.

Grant Tyler is sophisticated, intelligent, controlled, and a highly successful CEO of a Fortune 500. He’s Rena Lancaster’s perfect match: same background, same career path; they speak each other’s language. In bed, he makes her see stars. But then there’s Karl Kristiansen. Every bit as virile, masculine, and intelligent as Grant, he’s her contractor: earthy, hands work-roughened, body tough, and powerful. And he takes Rena’s senses by storm.

When Grant decides he wants Rena exclusively, he forces a decision on her. And it’s Karl who comes up with the perfect test for choosing between them: make love with them both at the same time, and see who does the best job.

When their sexual play becomes a true ménage, with Grant and Karl each trying to top the other, willing to do anything Reba asks — even touch each other — the three of them together are like spontaneous combustion. Now that she’s had a taste of the real thing, how can Rena choose between these two perfect men when they both give her different things she craves?

One guy has the stamina and quiet sensuality that leaves her satisfied but makes her want to push him to lose control. The other guy is dirty and intense and leaves her breathless. An ultimatum leads to a weekend like no other. Two guys, a magnitude of possibilities, one decision!

Do you like your short stories hot, smooth and breathlessly taboo? Then you have to do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of Jasmine Haynes novella Take Your Pick! Rena and Grant are hot together. Rena and Karl leave burn marks on the wall. When Karl and Grant set out to one up each other to please Rena I thought the whole house was going to go up in flames! Ms. Haynes created three individuals that are so different and yet when they are together you feel the click.

These tablets will only work in response to cheap viagra tablet sexual stimulation.

There were parts of this short story that made me cheer because it worked out the conflict of choosing between the two men so quickly but at the same time the same “resolution” felt a little too convenient. I had to remind myself a couple of times that, because this is fiction, the author has the ability to make the characters as open minded as she needs them to be. I think because I could imagine all types of conflict arising from two men wanting the same woman that the easy acceptance of Karl and Grant (both admittedly, non-gay or even non-bi) to participating in combinations with and without Rena so enthusiastically little unbelievable. On the other hand, the scenes are so erotic I didn’t dwell on the easy capitulation for very long, I simply enjoyed the well written and creative visuals. *VBG*.

Try not to get too hung up on the minor negative I mentioned. Grant has a jealous streak and is clearly the more dominate of the two males but Karl is no pushover. He literally gives as good as he gets. Ms. Haynes doesn’t skimp on plot or character development. You know where they came from and who they are today without overwhelming this novella with un-necessary details. The move from the M/F interactions into the ménage scene transitions well without being hurried. I honestly enjoyed this story and look forward to what Ms. Haynes may have in store for us next.
