Welcome to Nailz, a tattoo and piercing parlor where the staff support each other fiercely.

Several years ago, piercer Will had his heart and trust broken by the man who was supposed to love and care for him best—his Dom. Still a sub at heart, he’s nonetheless taken a vow to stay away from Doms. Doing so hasn’t really been that much of a hardship, but then Rick—who is all Dom—walks into the shop.
And it should be noted that while most of the diseases cast an effect on the man’s body, this has an effect on not only the body but on mind. cialis order successfully protected many relations by treating man’s impotence. Originally this type of therapy is used for treating kidney stones in the 1970’s called a lithotripsy, using acoustic shock waves for levitra viagra online breaking up the stones without the need of utilizing Kamagra. If you are looking for a super antioxidant then you don’t need to think further than a tiny grape-like fruit that grows in the Amazon rain forests and which possesses buy cialis generic a powerful amount of natural secretion of Hgh by body. Take a look at some of the highest being on buy viagra in australia this all existence.
Rick’s a successful, confident man, who also happens to be a Dom. While he’s experienced, he’s never found the right man to take on as a permanent sub, as a lover—he’s never found his sub. Then he walks into Nailz to get his nipples pierced and everything changes.

The attraction between the two men is immediate and undeniable, but while Rick recognizes the potential they have together and is ready to explore it, Will doesn’t know if he can let go of his past to grab hold of a future with Rick.

Will had been badly hurt by his previous Master and after starting to recover from the break-up had a firm “no Doms” rule. When Rick walks through Will’s doors looking for some nipple piercings Will can tell immediately that the chemistry between them is smoking hot and totally mutual. The only problem is Rick is clearly a Master through and through and Will isn’t sure he’s ready for that level of hurt again.

I really enjoyed this full length story. While on one level the story is absolutely revolving around Will and Rick getting to know each other and exploring their new relationship and the BDSM lifestyle, there is so much emotion and subtleties going on I really feel the story is so much more than that. I found a strong current throughout the book about two people learning to bounce back from pain and learning to trust again, to explore their own needs and desires. While there’s plenty of hot sex – and some of it pretty kinky to boot – I was delighted to find there is a strong element equaling this kink and heat of learning to trust again, to listening to your intuition and being strong enough to reach out and grab what you want.

As the title and blurb clearly indicates, there is plenty in the story about the BDSM lifestyle, about various piercings, toys and non-traditional elements, but I was really glad that even though these are all quite prominent, I strongly feel they weren’t added for shock value or to simply amp up the kink-value of the story. Will is clearly into the lifestyle and I found this aspect of the story to be tastefully written and clearly added with care. It won’t suit all readers, but I’d strongly urge readers intrigued or wanting to dab a toe into these sorts of literary waters would find this an interesting, realistic and tasteful place to start.

I also absolutely loved the very strongly written secondary characters. I have a definite feel that they will be highlighted in future stories – and I am eagerly waiting for just that. These characters – Kel and Nick in particular – added a lot of value to Will and Rick’s story, being supportive and needed in Will’s self-discovery and personal care. I was pleased how much Will’s friends added to his story and grew quite attached to them all.

Sexy and steamy with a delicious streak of kink running through it – this was a brilliant book and one I eagerly devoured. I can’t wait for the next installment.

Even our most fundamental codes can be encrypted – or corrupted. If the wrong information is discovered, more than Ben’s life will be in danger of total shut down.

Prepare yourself for full exposure.

Bulb is an intriguing book- often surrealistic, often off-putting, always interesting. The concept of no privacy and people being able to look back on their own life (or yours) is scary– but altogether believable, which is even scarier. It did take me a bit to get into it (the first few chapters were confusing) but once I got further into the book, I really enjoyed it.

There are very interesting premises here, and the descriptions of the future are intriguing. The author has a gift for language I quite appreciate. There was some disjointedness in the actions, which lends itself to the surrealistic qualities. Definitely a book I want to go back and revisit.

I’m intrigued by the Faux Life Movement, where people rebel against the society as it is and have the ability to stay “off grid” in a way by finding a way to conceal their real identity and take on fake identities. It reminds me a bit of the book people in Farenheit 451 who have their own way of rebelling against the banning of books.

This is not a book one can skim through, but I think it is definitely worth the time to read it. If you aren’t put off by a book that goes off in tangents and isn’t strictly linear, give this book a try. Beware, it’s not a book to read and watch television at the same time… it’s a book that demands your full attention…but it’s so worth it in the end. Thanks, Mr. Wind. I’ll be looking out for more of your work.

American Kingfish Association by Charles Darner

American Kingfish Association is a crime thriller set around tournament fishing and missing boats. Even though this is fiction, as with any good fishing story, there underlines some truth. As fishing stories go, AKA could be about that one that got away or was the one captured in the net.

Jarratt Summer is an avid Kingfish tournament fisherman. He has combined his love of fishing and the sea with his work at American Marine Insurance. Jarratt is on a personal quest to become a winner on Florida’s First Coast king fishing circuit. His goal is to earn a place at the Kingfish Super Bowl Tournament being held in St Lucie, FL. With the unexpected death of a co-worker, Jarratt is promoted to SIU/ Special Investigative Unit. Once here, Jarratt uncovers schemes for filing false insurance claims along with other schemes to bilk money from his employer. Jarratt attempts to put the pieces of the scheme together while avoiding being entrapped or worse killed.

I predict the author, Charles Darner, is going to be on the number one New York Times Bestsellers list. It’s only a matter of time before he gets the recognition. American Kingfish Association is his first book but no one would ever guess that. The writing style is remarkable. I can say this because I haven’t the first clue about fishing of any kind. After reading this story about the Kingfish tournament, I am intrigued to learn more.

Other causes include nerve injury, low testosterone level and bad effects of certain medicines are responsible for developing erectile viagra no prescription dysfunction in men.
I was riveted to my seat when the “reel’s clicker went off”. I didn’t know what a reel clicker was but I could feel the adrenaline running through the crew as they went through the process of bringing the fish in. I was just as disappointed as the characters when the line broke. It takes talent to write a book that consistently made me feel like I was with the characters every step of the way. It’s a greater talent when I didn’t feel lost or bored with all the details since I hadn’t a clue about the subject matter. From the description I was able to visualize the reel clicker as part of the rising rod that they crank to bring the fish in.

It is really important to make clear that this is not a “how to fish” book. This is an action/thriller, “hold on to your seat because you have no idea what is going to happen next”, type of novel. My son is the one that encouraged me to give this book a try. As a rule, it’s not the type of book I’d typically choose to read but I honestly couldn’t put it down! I read it in two days because it was that good. My preferred genre is romance, so I am pleased to tell you that there was a small romance with the leading character, Jarratt Summer, tucked in with the action.

Jarratt, Charlie, Adam and Sarah are the main characters. Together they make up the crew that wants to win the Kingfish tournament. There’s quite a varied cast of characters threaded throughout the plot, all of whom are well-developed. Their characterization is effective enough to make me believe the bad guys are truly bad. As for the good guys, I am not able to pick a favorite but I’d lean heavily on choosing Charlie as my favorite. He’s the kind of friend I’d want to have in my life.

The synopsis shared some exciting elements that might be intriguing to a reader but it’s important that I highlight that I found this novel unique. First, my interest was piqued by, “Jarratt attempts to put the pieces of the scheme together while avoiding being entrapped or worse, killed”. I was pleasantly surprised by the author’s vivid imagination and how he engaged my full attention. Second, he demonstrated a skill with words that was creative, making this novel a highly entertaining read and hard for me to put down. It’s a challenge to interest and involve a reader who knows next to nothing about the subject matter, yet delivers a solid and well-rounded story that reels in a reader like it did me. Pun intended *G*.

The plot flowed smoothly from beginning to end carrying me along on an anxiety provoking ride. There were moments I felt scared, happy or disappointed, and there was one time I even laughed. I was mostly invested in figuring how in the heck Jarratt was going to get out of the mess he got himself into.

The most exciting thing about this book isn’t that all the plot threads were tied up the way I like it, which is super important to me, but that the story cleverly hints there might be a sequel! I am very excited about that because I loved this book. In fact, I’m going to buy one for my dad for Father’s day and for my nephew for his birthday. They both love to fish and would enjoy all the action since they both love thriller/action/adventure movies. In fact, I won’t be surprised if this becomes a blockbuster someday.

I enthusiastically recommend reading American Kingfish Association! It definitely “hooked” me.

I loved this book from the start, and as mentioned, found it to be very unique and enjoyable. As it plays over several years, it’s different from many other stories that might have similar summaries. In fact, with the MC’s tale of revenge, and the way the story’s laid out, the only thing I can compare it to is Well of Darkness (Sovereign Stone #1) by Margaret Weis. The biggest difference is that that was a series, and this a stand alone, so there’s nothing else to look forward to after this rather… dark and questionable ending.

Still, as mentioned, I did enjoy the first half immensely, and if you don’t mind a dark revenge story, this is an interesting story, and one that perhaps wasn’t my favorite, but still one that I felt the writing and plot were well done, and that could easily be enjoyed by others.

This was just fun. That’s the first word that comes to mind. Although it is set in the 80’s, I don’t think there is a person of any age who couldn’t identify with various happenings or maybe I should say shenanigans. The actual format of an event of the 80’s might have been a little different but the same problems, even the same complaints still exist.

Steven Manchester wrote a memory story for some of us and a good fiction story for those of a different age. A belly-laugh type story full of fun and hard times too. Somehow people made them fun then, managed with what they had, while others before them thought they were spoiled.

Mr. Manchester’s “boys” or the three brothers in his story are a great depiction of how siblings interacted in pretty well every era.

A good read that evokes a lot of memories and a really good picture of the 80’s which is an era I don’t see as much literature on.

The narrator in this book had a wonderful sense of humor. One of the coolest things about it was that they appeared to be aware of the genre they were working with and made many sly references to what an audience expects from a mystery. I giggled my way through these references as I waited to find out what would happen to the characters next.

There were times when I found it tricky to follow the plot because of how many times it slowed down to explain something that was loosely related to what the characters were currently experiencing. While these asides were often pretty funny as I mentioned above, there were so many of them that it was hard to stay focused on the main point of the storyline.

One of the things the narrator did a very good job of was subverting the audience’s expectations. There are certain tropes in the mystery genre that most people who are familiar with it will expect to see. It was amusing to take note of the narrator’s creative twists on these tropes, especially when it came to the audience’s expectations of what a government agent should be like. While this was firmly rooted in the suspense genre, the author also wasn’t afraid to borrow liberally from many other genres in order to make things fit together. The combination of that alongside the reinvention of tropes made this a memorable read for sure.

Tales of Adventure with Nap Lapkin should be read by anyone who enjoys a tongue-in-cheek approach to the mystery genre.
