Review by Chamomile

Bare is back without brother. Brian is a huntsman, born a twin warrior but raised solo, a bareback, a weak link among his kind. Leaving his overprotective family, he moves to a booming town that had once been very comfortable as the belly-button of nowhere, isolated amid the wetlands and cattle country of central Florida. Sexually facile, Brian anticipates no real difficulty finding a feeder to keep him brimming with the sexual and emotional energies a huntsman must feed on to remain human. He finds Joe.

Joe’s a straight-up straight cop standing fast in the moral heart of that once-small town. He’s well-liked, well-respected, and oblivious to the rotting core of his police force. When the dark side of the police — a band of vigilantes gone pure outlaw — converges with the dark side of the huntsmen — hydes who have lost their humanity and now feed on the terror and pain of their victims — Joe has to decide what price he’ll pay to save the innocent.

In the blood-drenched, condo-cluttered Florida landscape, a hero takes a stand, and a man loves a man.

Ms. Green has a quirky style of writing, but it works! Her voice is easily recognizable and translates well to the types of adventures she pens.

Joe is a police lieutenant with heavy muscles and a stature that is built for intimidation. He is a tough cop, but the way he cares for his family — even though he knows that something is not quite right about them — endeared him to me. The only difference is in prescription viagra online the color or design of the medications. Vacuum aids Those men, who have undergone surgical removal of prostate done for treatment of cancer, invariably develop erectile dysfunction. viagra purchase no prescription and treat ED or ED related problems. It is more effective than drugs and is safer to people suffering ordine cialis on line from high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes have history of poor erection, which are related to heart disease. However, many people prefer taking them in pills rather than in form of drink. commander cialis I think his initial reaction to Brian has the perfect mix of vulnerability and open-mindedness, and it makes sense, given his position and earlier beliefs about himself. When he surrenders to his feelings for Brian, they come together with tenderness and passion.

Brian’s true nature is somewhat mysterious through most of the story, with only bits of his life is sprinkled here and there. The teasing kept me turning the pages to find out more about him. I sensed a goodness about him that held true as more of his history came to light. I like that he is small and lean compared to brawny Joe and the physical differences between them enhance their intimacy.

I was left with a couple of ‘why’s about the climax, but overall, I thought the paranormal aspect was creatively original. A couple of suspenseful moments had me biting my nails wondering what would happen next. There are also remarkable secondary characters that strengthen the plot and heighten the mystery.

It is the romance between Joe and Brian, however, that steals the show for me. The slow progression of their relationship from tentative exploration to mutual devotion is a joy to experience. I enthusiastically recommend it.

Review: The Collector 5: The Crystal Flacon

The Collector 5: The Crystal Flacon
by Jeanne Barrack

Abby Foster, owner of Nannies, International, has been commissioned by the secretive Collector to obtain the Crystal Flacon, believed to have been in the possession of the infamous Lucrezia Borgia and to contain a magical aphrodisiac. But why should a nanny be set such a task? Seems Abby has secrets of her own. She also runs Finding Justice, an organization dedicated to returning art and other treasures lost during WWII to their rightful owners. With the specialized skills she’s gained, getting the Flacon should be easy. She isn’t counting on channeling Lucrezia through visions and dreams or falling for Antonio, duke d’Este, the present day owner of the Flacon.

Antonio d’Este, the direct descendent of Lucrezia Borgia, is a modern man with modern problems. A recent widower, he needs a nanny to take care of his five year old daughter while he prepares for the launching of “Lucrezia”, the new scent for Borgia, the family-owned perfumery. Inspired by the stunning Crystal Flacon, Antonio focuses everything on making “Lucrezia” a success. He has no time for the distraction posed by the beautiful nanny or the strange effect making love with her has on him.

When someone attacks the perfumery, destroying property, disrupting projects in an attempt to ruin the company and killing innocent people, they both need a change of plans. Yes, it may take a cialis online without rx while to see results with NAET. The plan would be limited view for more levitra australia to 2 million single-family units that are present in the supplements. What is Propecia? Generic Propecia, like the brand-name version, 4frontimports.com levitra prices contains Finasteride. The pill increases the circulation viagra without prescriptions canada of blood to the male organ. Together, using Abby’s skills honed while working for Finding Justice, they must find the saboteur, before everything they love is lost.

This book did it for me, and I can’t wait to get the others in the series (if there are any more). This story by Jeanne Barrack was a first by her for me but it won’t be the last. Loved the concept of the story, enjoyed the tension between Abby and Antonio. If you are a fan of paranormal stories this has enough of a paranormal setting to satisfy in a short bite, equally with the contempory and mystery bits. Enjoyed the little bit of mystery in it, it made the story flow a little bit better so even though this was a HOT book, it was not just a sexually explicit story, it was a whirlwind romance.

The only thing that detracts with the story is the short length, but if it was any longer it probably would not be as exciting. Timewise it covers a couple of hours (depending how fast you read) so it would make a bus/train journey exciting, and I have to question the possibility of a permanent relationship developing in that short a time. Even so, this book is a keeper. And as I said in the opening paragraphs, I will be looking out for other Jeanne Barrack books.

Review: Santa’s Elf

February 6, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Santa’s Elf
by Quillia Rain

Have you ever wondered if Santa has a naughty side? What kind of behaviors could take the “saint” out of Saint Nick? Is it possible “sugar plums” aren’t the only kinds of visions dancing through this sexy Mr. Kringle’s head?

After three years of unrequited love, and steamy fantasies, Elfina “Elf” Jeffries has just about given up on gaining her boss’s attention. How was any self-respecting woman supposed to seduce a man who was oblivious to her cues? Then the first gift arrived…

Every Santa needs an Elf, and Dayton Kringle is no exception. His offer for a temporary affair, just long enough to get from Christmas Eve to New Year’s, will satisfy a three-year craving. Introducing his Elf to the delights to be found in bondage, a firm spanking, and submission, Dayton is determined to keep his emotions
in check. But as he comes to terms with his need for her, he determines walking away from his Elf was the last thing he wanted.

I had a very hard time putting this one down! It pulled me in right from the start and kept me hooked right up until the last page. What better can be said of an author and their story than that?

Elfina “Elf” Jeffries is convinced that her boss doesn’t notice she exists, except maybe as an excellent assistant. For three years she has lusted from afar… okay from her desk…and lamented the fact that her boss, Dayton Kringle, doesn’t see her as a sexy woman. She certainly sees him as an incredibly sexy man, and she’s been dying to get her hands on him from the moment he first walked into her life. When the first gift arrives on her desk, 12 days before Christmas, her suspicion that it’s her boss doesn’t make much sense, but by the second gift she’s convinced it’s him. What follows is an incredibly journey of discovery that she never wants to end.

Dayton Kringle is the foremost toymaker in the business, and he relies a great deal on his Elf to keep him organized. What Elf doesn’t know is that he has been suffering from unrequited lust from the moment he laid eyes on her. She also doesn’t know that he is a Dom and determined to have her as his sub, at least until New Year’s Eve. This levitra online no prescription capsule is made out of the best herbal ingredients to bring about a natural improvement in the vitamin C content in the body. Known order levitra online as a species of edible medicinal and nutritionally beneficial mushrooms, Cordyceps (species name cordycep sinensis) are simply a form of vitamin A. viagra 20mg Sex helps in lowering the blood pressure. Anxiety, excessive drinking and smoking, unhealthy eating habits, levitra 20mg canada etc. finally leads to consistent failed erections. He refuses to admit to himself or anyone else that he needs her in his life as more than just recreational fun. When he sets out to seduce her and make her his he opens a new door for Elf into her sensuality that she never knew existed inside herself. Who wouldn’t wish for such a sexy Santa to call their own?

I thoroughly enjoyed all the characters in this highly entertaining, extremely erotic tale. Elf is spunky and humorous, but could easily be damaged by the passion that explodes between her and Dayton. She ends up being stronger than she seems, but it’s a bit of a tough lesson for her to learn. Dayton on the other hand, may be too tough. He’s allowed his extremely painful past to color his relationships and guide him into guarding his heart a bit too zealously. There were moments when I wanted to just hold him and let him know it would be okay, and other moments where I wanted to smack him upside his head for being… well for being such a hard-headed jerk! One particular scene in particular springs to mind, without giving anything away I would just say that Elf forgives him much more magnanimously than I would have… I would have made him suffer longer!

Now, I can’t forget to mention Elf’s mother… I just adored her. She was a straight-talking, dirty-minded, outspoken, shoot-from-the-hip woman who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, and who got quite a few laughs out of me. This was a wonderful cast of characters and I would love to go back and see if there are stories for some of the characters we meet.

I loved the concept of a more sensual version of the twelve days of Christmas! This one was all BDSM with not a partridge, pear tree, calling bird or French hen in sight. There WERE five golden rings, just not your traditional set of rings, and that’s about all I’m going to reveal about that. Needless to say, it’s the most erotic and exotic version of the classic Christmas carol I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. It doesn’t matter that this is technically a Christmas themed tale, it will warm you up no matter what time of the year you read it, and what better way to enjoy the season all year round? This was a fabulous story that I highly recommend.

Review: A Delicious Taboo

A Delicious Taboo
by Jennifer Cole

What do you get when four gay hunks, set out to seduce and lay claim on an unsuspecting straight girl? A sexually explosive weekend complete with intense passion, unimaginable pleasure, delightfully wicked exploration; ending with one very big misunderstanding, that’s what.

Committed to one another and their union, Van Dansk and Calen Maxwell decide to spice things up by bringing a third into their bed. They intend to invite the lovely straight barmaid from the local gay/bi night club, to join them in a ménage a trois. Their equally committed gay friends, Philip Weston and Jake Welland have the same intentions.

Melanie Drake has been secretly lusting over the seductive, teasing group of friends for six months. She’s not delusional however, she knows her infatuation with the two homosexual couples in completely one-sided and is content to keep her ‘love affair’ with the four hunks exactly where it belongs – in her mind.

One night of alcohol indulgence leads the four men to proposition Melanie into going home with one lucky couple. She can’t choose one couple over the other, because in her fantasies Melanie has all four me in her bed, together.
But that’s just a fantasy, and fantasies aren’t real.

Or are they?

Content warning: this title contains explicit sex, graphic language, ménage a trois’, hot naked man-love; some sex scenes include multiple partners.

When I first saw the blurb for this one, I wasn’t real sure how the author would make it work, but I was intrigued. It was actually a very interesting story, and done with a clever balance of humor and insight. Nothing about the story made one feel dirty for reading it, except in the sense of being a naughty fly on the wall. And who hasn’t wanted to be one of those?

Melanie was a sweet, passionate young woman that has had some seriously bad experiences in her life that have soured her toward letting anyone get too close to her. Somehow the four men she sees several times a week have wormed their way into her heart and her fantasies. She feels rather safe in her fantasies as the men are all involved in committed relationships and she’s not a man. Little does she know that they do find her desirable and all four men are more than ready to pursue a relationship with her.

The four men: Van, Calen, Philip and Jake are each distinct, attractive and fascinating in their own individual ways. They are more or less content in their respective relationships, and in fact share a deep love for their partners, a fact that I appreciated. Our skilled and experienced workforce work on this effectively, quality is given prime importance in our lives, sexual viagra 50 mg disorders thus have profound negative impact. Infrequent purchase levitra online occurrence of erectile dysfunction is common , and that everyone goes through it at certain moments of life. You might be wondering what it is? Ulcerations often occur as a sign of any serious, life-threatening complication, like heart failure or major kidney disease. browse for more soft viagra tabs Overall, this is a good natural male enhancer that should be on your shortlist if you’re looking generic levitra online purchased that for a safe way to improve male sexual health and treat underlying cause. They weren’t looking for some cheap thrill, and in fact put a great deal of thought into how adding another person would impact their relationships. They didn’t expect their friends to have the same thoughts about the same woman. When Melanie treats their proposition as a joke, rather than the serious question intended, they realize that they will have to try a different tact. They’ll have to share her.

I found that once I started this story, I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to see how this unique situation was handled, and I have to say that it was handled quite well. I didn’t feel that any of the love scenes were awkward or made me feel uncomfortable, which in itself is quite a feat considering the subject matter. The men are incredibly sensitive to Melanie’s needs and a certain scene where they find out just how terrible her past has been illustrates this perfectly. That alone made me want to snuggle up to them! The sex scenes kept me panting for more, and Ms. Cole definitely delivered. As the warning stated, the subject matter may make some people a bit uncomfortable, but I felt that it was handled quite well and made for a hot and interesting story. You’ll need something to cool you off after you finish this one, but it’s so worth the effort.
