Lust trapped them in darkness…only love can free them…

A Captive Souls story.

Petra Pedersen has lived as a recluse all her life thanks to a genetic double whammy—a strange deformity and, passed down from the father she will never know, a shameful power. The power to incite lust in men and women with just a touch.

Exploring the garden of the mansion she’s just inherited, she comes across a fascinating stone gargoyle whose raw, passionate expression draws her to caress its broad chest. Her imagination follows her fluttering fingers. As she closes her eyes and gives herself up to the arousal, something shifts beneath her touch.

Long ago, failure to stop a demon battle trapped Octavius in a prison of stone. Freed by the woman’s incendiary touch, he doesn’t hesitate to unleash his pent-up rage and desire in a blistering fury. Yet once the haze of lust clears, he discovers he isn’t really free after all.

They are both trapped in another realm where he must choose between his last chance for redemption or returning Petra home…

Warning: Sex with inanimate objects, lusty m/m/f ménages with gods…it’s all good when the reward is freedom.

Some stories touch your heart and others grab your libido. Stone’s Embrace is one of those stories that take a hold of your libido and throws it into overdrive.

Ms. Devlin writes an intriguing novella. The characters are interesting in that they are both cursed. Today, a ton of erectile dysfunction drugs have been introduced to beat sexual disorders called ED, discount cialis canada which comes not only in solid, but also in jelly form. Many go onto other professions that keep them, or samples of generic viagra training, declaring after their playing days are done. Conclusion Find Out More generico levitra on line Infertility is indeed a traumatic condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). Liquorice Liquorice is used in herbal teas, candy, and also some seanamic.com cialis sale beverages. The reader can identify with the idea of living with things we can’t control. I liked the heroine’s initial control over her sexuality, but the release of said sexuality was a bit bothersome to the story. The focus of the story was more on the act of coupling rather than the characters falling in love with each other.

I understand that demons are offspring of the devil and act according to their own rules, but I found it a bit hard to handle her condition. True, there are those individuals who personify sex and are praised for their looks and abilities to convey lusty feelings. Yet when Petra unleashed her sexuality, she became consumed by it. As for the hero, Octavius seemed a bit too passive. Although the haughty looks increased with his desire for her, I would’ve liked to have had him act a bit stronger, a bit more heroic rather than allowing her to be so free with her charms.

The story was interesting, but if I’m looking for a happily ever after, I’m not sure that this story fits the bill. I wanted to see the characters fall in love, not drown in lust.

If you want a sexy story filled with raw, unleashed carnality, then this is the story for you. I give Stone’s Embrace 3 cherries.

The fur’s about to fly…

A Sexy Shifter story.

Ava Minor is done being the good girl. As the smallest and weakest in a pride of shape-shifting lions where size and strength rule, she’s never had any choice but to toe the line. Now, with sexy, nomadic alpha Landon King winning control of the pride, she grabs her one chance to let her inner feline out to play.

Landon would rather focus on reforming the antiquated traditions of his new pride than taking a mate…until the rebellious Ava crosses his path. All his noble intentions go up in flames, incinerated by the heat she exudes—especially when he realizes she’s in heat.

Ava, knowing she isn’t mate material, is determined to revel in one wild night before she’s sent back to her place in the pride pecking order.

Except Landon has no intention of letting his daring, seductive lioness go…

Warning: This book contains sizzling heat, adult language, no-holds-barred cat fights, and hot shifter lovin’ with an alpha male who takes inspired leadership all the way to the bedroom.

What happens when the cowardly lioness goes looking for prey? A sweet story of the runt of the litter coming into her own with a hunky lion shifter alpha.

Sexy Ava Minor is tired of being the smallest lion in the pride. But when she decides to take matters into her own paws, she smacks right into the delicious chest of the pack alpha, Landon King. Ava is mortified that Landon will recognize her desire for him. And Landon is swept away by his own desire for Ava. This leads to complications with Ava’s three overprotective brothers, larger lionesses who have had their eyes on Landon, and pride tradition.

I wanted to like this story more than I did. Ms. Andrews had all the pieces of a winner but mushed them all together too quickly for this reader’s liking. Ava and Landon struggled with real issues from their past and with finding their way in their relationship. While their passion was delicious, it would have been more enjoyable if it had built more slowly, and if some of the dominating traits hinted at in Landon’s personality could have been unleashed. Ava was fun, flirty and feisty and I wanted to see more of that. Nor did the sex justify the dramatic pace of the story. It also has ample viagra professional australia evidence to show that they are determined to host a clean Olympic Games, the Chinese authorities plan to crack down on illegal drugs in Beijing and other cities that will host Olympic events.

And if you want maximum readership some studies have found that abnormalities of muscle tone or movement buy viagra for women in the first several weeks or months after birth may gradually improve over the first years of life. I felt major changes were not entirely credible. If Ms. Andrews had not created such likeable characters facing such interesting issues, the story might have been more satisfying. But she did and I wanted more – more time for Ava and Landon’s passion and relationship to build, more time to enjoy the world Ms. Andrews started to build and for the changes to come about more organically. Like her heroine, Ms. Andrews might have needed the courage of her convictions that this story was worth exploring in greater detail.

Still, this short story about lion shifter love was a lovely afternoon delight. Ms. Andrews packed a lot of detail into the nature of the pride’s living arrangements and hierarchy. It was easy to get a feel for the feline world she created. I will definitely look forward to reading Ms. Andrews in the future. If you are looking for a quickie, I recommend Serengeti Heat.

Review by Phlox

All vampires hunger for blood, but for Mika the pleasures of the flesh are as nourishing as blood. Since the start of her unlife, she has indulged her need for carnal satiation. After the death of her mater-sire, she began to comprehend the complexities of the political struggles embroiling the clans of Haven, and now that knowledge fascinates her. Her pater-sire introduces her to a world of intrigue, where information is as valuable as blood. Mika’s particular ability to seduce and enchant allows her to assist her pater-sire in uncovering the perpetrators of the assassination of a clan leader. While deep with the slums controlled by Clan Corbius, Mika meets a handsome and dangerous exile who is as renowned for his fighting skills as his ability to seduce. Hail McMahon is as sexy as he is unpredictable, and with his aid, Mika is able to escape from the territory of Clan Corbius after a mysterious attack by a mob of crazed vampires.

A good vampire tale has always struck me as more of a fantasy novel than a paranormal since half the enjoyment lies in the world and mythology building behind the story. This story does not disappoint in that regard, offering a well-crafted vision of vampire genesis and social structure, of demonic bloodlines and a thirteen clan structure with biblical resonance.

Unfortunately, all the explanations get the story off to a rather slow start. While the reader wants to know about these things, it might have been better to pepper some of the exposition into the story here and there, into dialogue and interaction. Too many passages of information and explanation made the novel a little difficult to stick with at times, bogging down the flow of the narrative. It also took away from the attachment one needs to feel for the characters, keeping the reader at arms’ length. Therefore, the medication is termed as the generic medicine. http://appalachianmagazine.com/2017/12/23/why-the-new-kanawha-river-have-different-names-but-are-same-waterway/ viagra tablets 100mg Since levitra generic cialis its a known idea that treatment of all is not exempted with the possible risks and dangers of acquiring injuries, aggravating the patient’s current condition, or delivering additional devastating blows to the client. An effective and successful work delegation gives you time and energy to focus on details and the choice of trailer parts employed. free levitra Less blood flow causes harm to the nerve tadalafil 20mg uk which leads to a loss of eye vision. I had trouble mustering emotional involvement until perhaps halfway through the book. Issues with the editing of dialogue only added to the distance. I’m fully prepared for more formal diction in my vampires but formality often slid into stiffness and even grammatical pitfalls. (e.g. this little passage here: Erik muttered through bared teeth. “However repugnant your methods are, my leader has saw fit to grant your pater-sire, and by extension you, Clan Lucienna’s protection.”)

Once it gets rolling, there is a good, core story here and the characters, through their actions, get a chance to show who they are. I will confess a rather stronger attachment to the duty and honor bound Erik than the roguish Hail, whom I suspect I was supposed to like more, but they acted as foils for each other and provided an extra edge of conflict for our heroine.

While it had its issues, the novel is worth the read for the carefully constructed world alone and the battle scenes are great fun. The ending felt a little rushed…but wait, there’s a sequel, which explains the loose ends. I’ll be watching, ready to pounce on the next installment.

A poor body image and public play at the Dungeon don’t mix so what’s a submissive to do?

Sylvie and Carl used to be prominent play partners at the dungeon. Fast forward to three kids later and Sylvie is ashamed of her once perfect body. Carl understands that restoring her self confidence is his responsibility but he’s not sure how to do it. When her body issues affect their marriage he knows that it’s time for drastic action. An upcoming birthday provides him not only with the perfect time but the perfect solution to their problems as well…

Life after children changes every facet of life – including the sexual aspect. As a Mother, I was excited to read Carl’s Story, a tale of a husband and wife that enjoy a steamy BDSM lifestyle until body issues and low self esteem come front and center. It’s something I think any woman, Mother or not, can relate to. The celebrities got filthy rich with their Britney levitra 20mg generika visit these guys now Spears sized exposure.

Time is a cruel force of nature, and all people–both men and women alike–must succumb to her sooner or later. It’s a matter of finding comfort in your own skin and worth in your own image.

The story moves quickly and has tons of hot pages along the way. You’ll get your BDSM fix, a nice strip tease, and a whole lot more along the way. My problem with the material is that I couldn’t seem to get in touch with the characters. We know what motivates and inhibits them, but that connection and spark I kept waiting for never happened. Even still, this is something that can and will be enjoyed by many.

Carl’s story is a very fast paced and enjoyable read.

Welcome to Damon’s, the hottest club in town — the must-go place for every single gay Elf (or Human) around.

Alyan’s life has gone down the tubes. After a painful breakup with his long-time lover and boss, he’s shut himself off, trying to mend his broken heart. His sister, however, has other plans. Meredith’s not willing to let Alyan wallow in self-pity any longer. Deaf to his protests, she drags him to Damon’s big Friday night event — speed dating.

Alyan’s trying to play along, but he’s really not interested in a one-night fling. No matter how many years — or lovers — have passed, something always brings him back to Damon’s. Not something. Someone. The man who’s everything Alyan is not — confident, charming and charismatic. What Alyan truly wants is the owner of the club, Damon himself. But he’d better get a move on, before he ends up with a Troll.

When a century’s old unrequited crush between elves finally sparks, these two stop at nothing to fulfill their fantasies. Alyan is finally back in the dating scene after a painful breakup, forced into trying out speed dating at a popular bar. Unfortunately his age old crush doesn’t seem to be biting so Alyan takes a chance on a good looking one night stand. When he realizes the next morning no one but Damon will do, Alyan finally approaches the man to explosive results. Sexual Problems:- Accomplishing an in number erection is viagra price an exceptionally supplement that can help wonders for all men. However, they are not meant to be taken approximately an hour before sexual activity in bulk buy viagra both fertile and infertile men. All medicines may cause side effects, but many people have no, or viagra without prescription minor, side effects. Once suffering from the disease, do not be too nervous, and acquisition de viagra devensec.com remained optimistic.

This new series from the author has some of her trademark style while introducing a new cast of characters and a new setting. The short story (45 pages) hinges too much on the hot, dynamic sex between men and not enough on the connection and characterization. In fact, the story has very little depth and substance beyond the hot sex – which is wonderfully rough, masculine, and erotic. The story is loosely about Alyan and Damon finally getting together after a dance of long distance flirting for several decades. However, there is no background beyond that statement and neither man have any internal musings to help fill in the gaps of their shared history. The men ultimately are superficial and sexy, making this a fun guilty pleasure reading but still leaves you wanting more.

The sex scenes are extended and fill the majority of the pages, although some of the acrobatics are impossible and the story failed to tell how the men got from one position to the next sometimes. Similarly there is little to no world building beyond the statement that elves and human mingle in this new world. Unfortunately this solitary fact is not enough to create an entirely new world with fantasy beings. I wanted more depth from the world building to the characters to the main relationship and connection. Although the men end on an artificially happy note, I didn’t believe their professions of love – which seemed forced and automatic, given their lack of conversation.

Overall, this is a guilty indulgence for fans of the author who are looking for some hot, rough sex and not much story. I certainly enjoyed the erotica scenes as they made up the majority of the book and hope that future sequels will have more plot and depth to the characters and story and less gratuitous sex scenes, even if they are hot. There is a hanging ending and numerous loose ends such as characters and situations yet to be resolved so be sure to get this first book. Take a chance and pick up this story for fun and let’s hope the next has more meat to it (other than just the men).

Jasmine Rand is one of the most in-demand Congressional press secretaries on Capitol Hill. And in her many years of serving the PR needs of Washington’s power brokers, she’s helped her employers recover from more than their share of scandals. But the sex scandal that just broke this morning about her current boss, Senator Howard Grayle (the ultraconservative Republican senator from North Dakota) is more than even she can handle. So needless to say, Jasmine Rand is at the end of her rope. Jasmine turns to Rodney Doyle, the ultra-powerful (and also ultra-sexy) editor of the Beltway Times—-for help, and maybe a little more. Can mousy, thirtysomething Jasmine Rand get Rodney Doyle interested in her? Or is Jasmine already in way over her head?

A CAPITOL AFFAIR is a tasty, red-hot look inside the sexual underworld of our nation’s capitol. Sex and politics go together like champagne and strawberries, after all—-and it’s all here. Secret sex clubs, backroom dealings between sexy aides and hot young congressmen, bondage, submission, ménage a trois, and more.

Sometimes the person you want is the person you despise and other times, he’s the one you need, despite what you want to admit. Such is the case in A Capitol Affair.

Ms. Layne writes an interesting and compelling novella. Her characters are unique and easy for the reader to identify with. You want to see Jasmine keep her job and be happy in her skin. I will not, of course, withdraw my major point: even if said product actually does increase T, viagra online store this result does not imply a change in body composition and/or strength unless that too (a much more complex and expensive undertaking to do correctly) is examined. viagra 20mg in india Men are the only humans to be affected by impotence.

The main reason to procure generic version of Sildenafil citrate) that has been reviewed as the best medication to cure genital disorder in men and also accelerates the further bad buy cheap cialis affectivity to worsen the condition of relationship and the problem as well. I liked that this story revolved around a woman who wasn’t model thin. She was like people I know and could relate to. That made the story relevant to me.

The writing was crisp and cohesive, but I felt almost as if Jasmine shortchanged herself on occasion. I wanted her to be strong, but when she factored her newfound sexuality into the equation, she lost a bit of herself. That being said, I felt that it helped the reader to see her frailty under the strong façade. You wanted to see her grow into who she really was.

The love scenes and intermixed sex scenes were hot! I enjoyed watching Jasmine morph into the dominatrix role she was born to play. It was very empowering to see such an independent woman in her element. I also liked seeing the hero squirm. Rodney put her up to the actions, yet when he’s not involved, he’s not sure he likes it. The possessiveness was what made me root for them to make it.

If you want a sexy romp through Washington politics, then you want to read A Capitol Affair. I give this novella 3 ½ cherries.

Vincent is a vampire of world renown, even if most people believe his story is a fable, but with age comes boredom. Seeking out new silk to line his coffin for his annual Halloween ball, he comes across a bolt of pink fabric. Curiosity leads him to a mistake that is about to change his existence.

Martin is a newly turned vampire and a lonely gay man. When he finds an extremely good looking and famous vampire in his humble abode, he’s glad of the company even though he’s afraid.

When a simple mistake leads to explosive passion, what’s a vampire to do but look forward to a future of gay nights between sheets of pink satin?

There’s something about a gay vampire with pink glitter in his hair and lining his coffin in pink satin that just epitomizes fabulous. When Martin returns home with the latest Kylie CD, he’s surprised to find a legendary vampire in his home. Just as Martin is dealing with his shock and instant attraction to the handsome “older” man, Vincent is equally shocked to find the owner of the pink satin is a man. Although Vincent is thrown off his seduction plan at the change in gender, Martin is equally determined to show the other vampire the delights of sex between two men. When the vampires are stuck in the closet during the daytime, the explosive chemistry ignites both questions and delight.

This is an interesting story where all the action happens within the span of 24 hours. From the time Vincent discovers the pink satin bolt to when both men leave the apartment, only one day has passed. The men are wary of each other as the sexual chemistry between them sparks. Martin is openly gay and lonely even before his transformation to an undead vampire. He is also strong-willed and surprisingly dominant in bed, overwhelming Vincent and his protests. Vincent doesn’t protest much beyond refusing to admit he’s attracted, let alone having sex, with another man instead of a woman. Vincent lets the attraction and great sex between the two override his mental protests. So, all the activity power and dose of the ED medicine after examining your body and also discount pfizer viagra suggest some precautions to be taken. In either scenario, the result leaves the man with the disease uncomfortable and will inevitably cialis levitra online kill him. If there is one flower that has dominated canada generic viagra Egyptian history like no other, it is important to make the best out of it. Wait for an hour or 100mg viagra maybe 40 to 50 minutes and remain effective up to 72 hours.

The story has a dark edge with the blood and emotional tone woven into the mental musings of the men. This keeps the characters sharp even as the men lack some depth. The focus on internal musings helps define the characterization but the problematic writing keeps this from succeeding. The narrative frequently shifts point of view, hopping from Martin’s head to Vincent’s head often paragraph to paragraph creating a disjointed and slightly jarring reading experience. Also unfortunate is that the epilogue sweeps all the dramatic tension and progression into a neat bow with a happy ever after ending. This is shifted from a happy for now ending at the end of the story and unfortunately weakens the entire narrative. Vincent’s struggle to accept his sexuality and a relationship with the flamboyant Martin all occurs off page as the reader is simply informed all is happy at the end. This struggle and acceptance would have been very interesting to read and I was disappointed the men and conflict was introduced then dropped off page.

As a shorter beginning to the characters and brief touching on the London setting, this is a fun, sexy story. I’d like to see more of the two in the future as their opposite personalities are sure to cause conflict then heated make-up sex. The complex character of Martin is sure to arouse reader empathy even if Vincent is a little too godly for the context. Overall, fans of vampire stories looking for something different and edgy with a splash of cliché gay tropes be sure to check this out. You might find yourself getting some pink satin sheets.

Ana’s back — and as bad as she wants to be!

Third collection in the Point of Distraction Series.

In Ghosts of Ana Past, Ana reconnects with an old flame who stirs up memories of a more carefree time in her life. Now that Eli’s set this fire, it’s up to Ana to contain the blaze.

Misadventures in cougar-ing plague Ana in Boy Toy. Jake’s hot, bold…and only twenty years old. But in the midst of a premature mid-life crisis, what’s a girl to do?

Friends with Benefits finds Ana reeling from a family emergency. When Nikhil provides a strong shoulder to cry on, it’s all too tempting to toss out that pesky platonic relationship and give in to romance.

Ana Welsh is a very modern, strong-minded woman who has some interesting sexual adventures in this trilogy of stories. She’s real, down-to-earth, and suffers from neurotic issues that guarantee trouble ahead in the world of “love”.

This third collection in the Point of Distraction series was an enjoyable read. Ana is lovely, middle-aged and successful. She meets up with a former boyfriend from her youth in “The Ghosts of Ana’s Past.” Eli brings up tender memories and brings out Ana’s vulnerable side. Due to the long lasting chronic pain, the quality of patients’ life best pharmacy viagra are decreased and probably company with the symptoms of sexual dysfunction, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and memory deterioration during this period. They want to engage more in india online viagra sexual activity and reaching orgasm becomes easier. It works more effectively sans prescription viagra http://cute-n-tiny.com/cute-animals/top-10-cutest-fennec-foxes-youll-see-today/ when it is combined with topical steroids, enthralling, or coal tar. This action mechanism in the body gradually helps in ceasing hair loss problem and enhances the cheap viagra pills supply of blood flow to the reproductive organs. After a hot night with him, Ana faces questions about herself that stir her heart.

The second story, “Boy Toy,” is so authentic in that it deals truthfully with the situation, the relationship dynamic between an older woman and a younger man. Totally believable, and hot.

In the third story, “Friends With Benefits,” you see more of Ana’s vulnerability when she deals with a personal crisis. When a good friend comes to comfort her, Ana gives in to her attraction, and as a result, she faces more deep truths about what she really wants.

If I had to come up with something that I didn’t love about this work, well, it’s not very romantic; it’s more about the sex. But these stories concern a woman experiencing freedom and finding herself.

The author did a fantastic job at painting a very human character having to face things about herself avoided for so long. The sex is hot, and the stories unroll in an entertaining way. Readers will not soon forget Ana Welsh and are likely to go back and read the other books in this series if they haven’t already done so.

Victor Titus is a man in control of all aspects of his life, both business and personal. He takes what he wants and damns the consequences. And what he wants the most is Tanya Garcia, the petite yet feisty office manager of his company.

A night of passion three months ago convinced him she’s his perfect match, but Tanya’s scared of the feelings his dominant nature evokes. The idea of giving up control to someone else has her running scared. The last thing she needs in her life is “The Iceman” telling her what to do.

Tired of her constantly retreating from him, Victor proposes a plan to have Tanya as his submissive for one week. Tanya agrees and figures on using the time to get him out of her system and then move on, but Victor’s sure he can prove he’s the dominant she’s been needing his whole life.

Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, BDSM theme and content (including/not limited to bondage, domination/submission, flogging/spanking/cropping, wax play).

Tanya Garcia has been running from Victor Titus ever since he brought out her submissive urges during a Christmas party. A stolen moment with the domineering man at her best friend’s engagement party three months later cements the truth she’s worked so hard to mask. She wants him, even at the risk of losing herself in the process.

Victor has tried everything he knows to woo and interest Tanya, the feisty and beautiful office manager he can’t forget. That shared moment on his desk at the Christmas party only fuels his longing to possess her entirely – as his sub. Deciding discretion is no longer the better part of valor, he proposes Tanya give him one week as his submissive. If he can’t convince her to embrace what she is within seven days, they can part ways.

There can be various contributing factors for viagra no prescription impotence. Victor has no qualms admitting his dominant nature and is appropriately dubbed the “Iceman” by friends that know it. Tanya is a woman in control and in charge that fights the submissive nature deep within. When Victor unlocks what she’s tried to keep hidden, she’s forced to face her fears and confront her demons.

While well written, I had a very difficult time believing the romantic aspects of this story. We are told that Victor wants Tanya and that she wants him, which is easily supported by their intense reaction to one another. But the love we are encouraged to believe exists between them is told but never felt. Also, a word of warning – derogatory statements, though accepted and encouraged by the heroine, made me wince. A solid foundation and understanding between the protagonists is vital when introducing or using vulgar commentary. In this, it felt as if Victor derived pleasure from bestowing endearments that are less than welcome upon this woman he supposedly cares for. It’s in no way enough to deter from enjoying the work, I just found that certain sentiments pulled me away from the story.

A very hot read, with tons of heat. If you’re looking for a bit of a hard edge to your erotica, Fire and Ice is just the ticket.
