E.J. Frost wields her magic,yet again,with Capricorn! Going back to the world of Bevington,Evan and Rachel’s story comes after Quaternion,so if you havE.J. Frost wields her magic,yet again,with Capricorn! Going back to the world of Bevington,Evan and Rachel’s story comes after Quaternion,so if you haven’t read that,and still plan to,it might make you enjoy this one more if you wait….. Luckily,i have,and E.J. was so very generous to give me the ARC of Capricorn,so i dove straight in. Because i needed to see if Teddy,her boys and everyone else could get Evan out of prison,badly! He was convincted of a crime he didn’t commit,and spent the last 7 ! years in prison. And if that wasn’t bad enough,he’d decided to tell his Little girl,Rachel,to stop visiting,to stop writing,and to move on with her life. Sometimes Daddies make mistakes,and this was a big one. And when he was finally released,she was going to make him see why,that’s for sure! The reason why he was released was a big one,one that counted,and he had a very important task ahead of him. If he was going to survive it,it might even mean he was a free man,permanently. And Rachel was going to make sure he’d survive,even if he didn’t want her anywhere near the evil he’d be facing…..
In true E.J. style,Rachel was a strong girl,a girl i loved from the moment i met her. She fought for what she believed in,in any way she needed to. For her Daddy,for her friends,she never gave up. Evan may have thought he was doing the right thing by releasing Rachel,the silly man,but once he saw the light,he did his best to make it better. He’s a good man,a strong one,with a big heart,and i adore him. Seeing Teddy and her boys again was a treat,and where they were now,was só much fun to see! I see a lot of headaches in their future though…..
And a future we’re going to see,because there’s another story coming in the world of Bevington,called Ulune’s Daughter,and i can’t wait!!!...more

Having Quaternion was both a blessing and a curse,bI’ve been on needles and pins ever since i finished Gabe’s Girl,needing something to ease my fears. Having Quaternion was both a blessing and a curse,because,damn what a rollercoaster ride it turned out to be!! Knowing where Teddy was,and knowing she had no powers left….that i knew of…..that alone had me worried. The solution was simple,thank the heavens, but once she was home,back with Charlie,things were still not well….. But she was damn well going to make sure they were going to be,and those responsible would better be ware of an angry Teddy!! In the meantime,the enemy was plotting…..and evil forces were on the rise. Who to trust,and who to be wary of,that was the question. Teddy díd return with knowledge of certain things,but that wasn’t enough….. So,what would be?
My first wish,Teddy getting back to all of her boys,meaning Charlie,Gabe and Darwin,that wish was luckily fulfilled without her breaking stuff. But the rest,Darwin’s father having future plans for him,her da creating trouble,Phoebe being the spiteful b**ch she is,unknown enemies trying to sabotage them,and só much more….thát stuff was killing me! There were times i wanted to walk into the story and beat people up,that’s how angry i was at them. The only thing keeping me sane,was the fact that the Quaternion was strong,that Teddy and her boys could take it and deal with all of it. With a little help from their friends…..
After reading the final page,knowing where they are now,i can breathe a little easier. There is however one problem they need to fix,badly! I hope Capricorn will give me the solution…..good thing i have the ARC!...more

Butch was minding his own business in Patty’s Bar while a group of drunken women were stirring up trouble. It seemed to be a bachelorette party,but the bride to be couldn’t keep her hands of his butt every time he passed by…. The cutie that sat next down to him may have been in a horrible dress,but she immediately brightened up his evening. Her desperate request for a fake date at that wedding was surprising,though… And once he overheard the bride to be and her vicious friends,he volunteered. Best decision ever! She was fun,kind and sweet as can be….if only she didn’t have such low self esteem.
Lara didn’t wánt to go to her sister’s wedding,but her mother talked her into it. Her stepfather was a bully,and she didn’t look forward to seeing him again. And Emily was a bitch that not only took her boyfriend,no….she was marrying the guy! At least Lara managed to demand to stay in a hotel instead of at “home”…. But going to the wedding alone was not something she wanted….at all! So,when Butch accepted her rather desperate plea for a fake date,she was over the moon. Especially because he was HOT and probably had better things to do than take ugly old her to a wedding….
The Malone family is always a lot of fun to visit,and there seem to be getting more of them each time we see them! Hearing how they’re all doing is a bonus,and i loved it. Butch and Lara’s story was sweet and hilarious,even if there were very painful,and sometimes anxious, moments. The abuse Lara had suffered was awful,and to not even have the support of her mother was even worse. Good thing she met Butch,because the Malone’s do things véry differently!

This time,it’s the Beta team,and since i was waiting for them to find their own Little,i was very happy to see the ARC of Captured by her Daddies landing in my inbox. And i have to say,i was captured by their story!
Chloe has had a rough childhood,but being where she is now,is both a blessing and a curse. Jonathan may have saved her,but at the same time he’s holding her captive in a way she doesn’t ever expect to break free from. Going to Escana with him,to find new clients is exciting,though… She’s heard of the lifestyle there,and she adores princess Pippa. Jonathan loathes the country,and it’s rulers,but if he can make a deal,they’ll do…Getting a security detail was not what he’d planned,but at least Chloe can make herself useful for once….right? Only Chloe really starts to like Owen,Hux,Judd and Beck,so what is she to do? Tell them her orders,warn them that she doesn’t know what Jonathan is up to? Or simply enjoy feeling good for once with them doting on her? Her Little,who’s been hiding for most of her life,enjoys the attention she’s getting,thát’s for sure!
Judd is sure,these two are up to smething,and he’s determined to find out what. Only when,out of the blue,Owen decides to claim this pristine princess,he’s forced to look a little closer at Chloe…. Hux was already hot for her,but his bagage is different from Owen’s,so… And the closer he looks,the more he sees things that don’t add up. Even Beck seems to want her,and even though they’re reluctant to start a new relationship,it’s decided they at least get to know her and see the real girl.
In the meantime,Jonathan is still scheming. And even though Chloe doesn’t understand why,she’s happy to get this much free time. Because she knows it won’t last. Because they’re leaving once Jonathan has the approval of prince Kassim to conduct business with his country. And then it all goes to hell….leaving a heartbroken Chloe no other choice than to flee the country.
A sweet story,one you know you can expect from Laylah. With a Little,with a ton of bagage,that’s been looking for someone to love all of her life. With Daddies that all have their own bagage,and are reluctant to let anyone into their small family. But they’re all ready to at least play a little….until they find out it isn’t just playing,it’s feeling. It’s trusting,and it’s being brave enough to go after the thing that makes you happy....more

We’ve reached the House of Leo in Masters of the Zodiac,and Golden Angel is the lucky one to tell Chadrick and Scarlet’s story. And i am even more luckWe’ve reached the House of Leo in Masters of the Zodiac,and Golden Angel is the lucky one to tell Chadrick and Scarlet’s story. And i am even more lucky,for getting the ARC of this beauty! Because Golden Angel is the perfect choice to tell their story. I love her sense of humor,and how she combines that with the deliciously hot games these two play,makes this story a lot of fun to read.
Scarlet may be a professional bodyguard ,but her new assignment is one she never ever hoped to get. Chadrick Cummings is one of the few people she hates with a vengeance,and now she has to protect him from getting killed? This job had better pay véry well to make up for the forced proximity to the Master of the Leo Guild! Being forced to act like his girlfriend is absolutely not her idea of fun,but it’s work….right? The stupid jokes,the constant smiles,the clinging fans,all of those she’ll just have to endure…. Until she gets to see another side of him,one she didn’t expect. And those nightmares she keeps having,make it even harder to keep hating him….
Chadrick’s first impulse is to poke his fake girlfriend a little,just for fun. But,knowing she’s the one to keep him safe,he decides to behave…..mostly. Her hatred of him is refreshing,and he likes what he’s seen of her,so far. She thinks she knows the real him,but there’s so much more that not many people see… And he decides to show her those sides of him,too…..the real him,in all his glory. The more he gets to know her,the more he starts to wish their relationship was real. And those dreams aren’t helping him think otherwise,either….
This was such a fun and delicious story! Chadrick snd Scarlet were perfect together,he made her relax and enjoy their time together in a way she never expected,but most definitely needed. They were both still alert for any danger,but grew so close in the short time together. I just know they were meant to be,and with all those dreams,tingles and other magical signs,they soon found out as well. Their story leaves me with a question though….. What happened to his best friend Benedict??? Where can i find the final story,Virgo??...more
Freddy is the sweetest,most generous and caring sub there is at Marquis and he deserves the best Mistress you can find. Lucky for him,Golden Angel knowFreddy is the sweetest,most generous and caring sub there is at Marquis and he deserves the best Mistress you can find. Lucky for him,Golden Angel knows who that is,and she gives him what he’s been craving for for so long. The ARC of this beauty was such a delight to read,and leaving an honest review is easy….i loved every second!
Camille has been slowly suffocating at the law firm she works for,and needs to find herself back,badly. Lucky for her,her friend Julie knows exactly what she’s been missing,and once she’s at Marquis,it feels like she can finally breathe again…. Especially when she sees the most delicious sub,Freddy. Playing with him is refreshing,talking with him is easy. Until the day arrives she,and the a**hole she represents (because the partners of her firm refuse to burn their hands on this one) meet the woman who wants to divorce him,and her lawyer…. Shock,shame and worry wage a war in her when it turns out to be the very same man that’s haunted her mind since that wonderful night. Will he judge her for the way her client acts,for the place she works at? Even though she had a very good reason to work there? Will this mean they’re done before they really got started?
Freddy has been lonely for too long….sure,he has friends,and yes,he gets his chances to play with a Mistress. But he doesn’t have his own Mistress,that connection he longs for…. That closeness,the love he sees others find,thát’s what he wants too! When he sees Camille for the first time,he starts to hope,though. And their first night together is exactly what he needed. Could she be the one,would he finally have found the Mistress to give him what he craves,so badly? It seemed like it…..until the day he and his sweet client meet the man she wants to divorce,and his lawyer. How can that woman be the same as the Mistress that was so wonderful??
The way these two connected was beautiful to watch. They were honest with eachother from start to finish,and found the perfect way to deal with a bad situation. And they still played by the rules! Their connection was instant,and only grew as time passed. So,thank you Golden Angel,and Mistress Julie,for bringing these beautiful souls together!!
The next story in this story,though? That’s another sub i’ve been hoping to see more of,and have been wondering about. And now that Freddy finally got his wish,i want to find out what happens to her, too!...more

Because he should’ve been home alreadWhat happens when Daddy Fox leaves Brody Bear and Tutu alone for too long? Leaves them to worry if he’s alright? Because he should’ve been home already? Let’s just say it’s going to involve a couple of red bottoms when he gets home! The ARC of A Snowy Little Christmas was a breath of fresh air,one i didn’t know i needed until i read it!
Having a boy and girl of his own to care for is something the Fox never thought he’d have,but here they are…. The fact that he has two people that love him,and care about him,is mindblowing. And knowing he can’t live without them? How did thát happen? A family of his own,it was a dream he thought he’d never have,but wishes dó come true. Keeping them safe from harm and other people is a nightmare,though….. And knowing they want to visit family during the holidays? If it were only Brody’s…..but he knows his little Bunny needs more. Who could they visit to give her new friends to play with? Not that half brother and little niece he found out he had….no way!
This was a heartwarming,sweet and véry entertaining little story. I was happy to see that everyone got to see their wishes come true,even if they turned out a little different than they’d expected. And i loved every second! ...more
The last time i saw Jane and her men,they were in a lot of trouble. So,seeing the ARC of Darkness & Debauchery in my inbox was a very welcome gift,andThe last time i saw Jane and her men,they were in a lot of trouble. So,seeing the ARC of Darkness & Debauchery in my inbox was a very welcome gift,and i couldn’t wait to hear what happened. What i found held me captive until the very last page,enjoying the good,and cursing the bad,but feeling very satisfied with the end.
Jane and Korban managed to get out of Metro with Maddox,but the others weren’t as lucky. If you consider Jane and Korban lucky,that is…. Because with only Kor there,it’s not exactly a given that they’re safe. That Jane is safe. Because,let’s face it,Kor hás his issues…. Plus,Maddox and his men have their eyes on Jane,too…..ready to steal her from Kor if given a chance. What is it with them,anyway? Why would they want her,it’s not like she’s special or anything….right???? And if that’s not enough,Jane’s sperm donor calling himself her father, is searching for her. After all those years of hating her,he finally found a use for her.
In the meantime,Vic,Sie,Theo and Paris have been caught and sent to a place nobody ever managed to get out of…. And all that so Vic’s creep of a father can get his hands on Jane! So,getting out is their priority,but once that miracle happens,please don’t ask me how,and they’re reunited with Kor and Jane,it becomes painfully clear their troubles are far from over. And that’s not just because Vic insists on being his usual asshole self….or who Jane is becoming…..
All Jane ever wanted,was someone to love,and it hurt to see how everyone kept failing her. Even the ones that díd love her decided to claim her when it was almost too late. Leaving her in the last place she should be. The hands of the enemy….having to find a way to save herself.
This story broke my heart in more ways than one. Not only was Jane a girl that was longing for someone to love her for who she was,the men she ended up claiming as hers,the men she loved,were stubborn as hell. As in,they waited for só long to show her they felt the same! I get it,they had their own history to overcome,but still….
The way Vic especially treated her was mean,and unnecessary. I was tempted more than once to give him a good kick up the butt,thát’s for sure! The others may have been a little kinder,but it took them long enough to show it. Once they gave into their feelings,though….
Jane,Vic,Sie,Theo,Parisand Korban all had their issues,all of them running deep. Trusting Jane was hard for these men,but once they opened up to her,what they got in return was a girl that would do anything for them. Jane may have been used to living a lonely life,barely living at all,but once she found her men,a new world opened up for her. A world where she found the family that would do anything to make her happy.
Edit after added epilogue That was exactly what the doctor ordered! Not only knowing where they are now,being the family they were supposed to be,but to hear how Jane is doing….. And to see these men giving her what she needs,and how……hotdamn!!!
There’s only one thing i’m left wondering about….. What about Maddox and his men? Is there any chance they could be lucky enough to find what Vic and his family have??...more

Bodie has had only herself to count on her entire life. Sure,Liam was her friend,but she wanted him as far from her family as she could keep him. They take every dime she struggles to earn,trash her stuff,and beat her every time they feel like it. No way is she going to let them know she’s got a friend….. But now he’s got an offer she’s not sure what to think of,in a place she’s not sure she wants to go to. And when he says the wrong thing,hurting her badly,she fears she’s lost him. Good thing he has a boss that knows what to do…..
Braun has a good life,filled with friends that are likeminded. There’s only one thing missing though,and seeing Bodie,he thinks he might just have found it. Convincing her to at least try dancing in the club for one evening is the first step. Getting her to trust him,and allow him to show her not all men are bad,is going to take time. But for his little ballerina,he has all the time in the world. How to get her to open up,to talk about the hell her life has always been,is a very important question. But luckily,Mistress Connie is also a very good therapist,and she has her ways of making poor little subbies open up.
With her deepest secrets shared,Bodie slowly starts to settle in Braun’s tender care. She talks to Liam,and they both know he didn’t mean what he said,didn’t intend to compare her to the ones that brought her into this world. She even feels less frightened of Jasper,who enjoys scaring her tóó much….the sadist! But is this the place? Could she stay here? Be happy? Be loved…..??? When she goes back to the dump she called home,to collect her meager belongings,all those feelings fly out the window. Because guess who’s waiting for her….. At least her final thoughts are happy ones,right??
Will Braun and his friends arrive in time to save his little ballerina? Can she survive this brutal beating? And if she does,what will it mean for her?
This was a tough one. It hurt me,badly,to know the very people that should’ve cared for Bodie,that should’ve supported and nurtured her,were the ones that kept beating her. That terrorised her,prevented her from living a normal life. The moment she understood she wasn’t alone anymore,that she had a new family,in her corner….that was só good to see! And finally….seeing the little sister she left behind….hearing how bad her life had been,but also hearing she’d never hated her the way her parents made her believe…..that was the icing on the cake!...more

JuThe only story i didn’t have in the Masters Club Boxset was Claiming Cleo,and Claire Thompson GAVE it to me when i asked if i could buy it from her! Just like that….and i’m so happy she did,because it’s such a wonderful story! It brings back together two heartbroken people that need eachother só badly,it hurts. It shows that taking risks sometimes dóes pay off. And second chances with a happy end dó exist.
Chloe fled London after her Master Jack’s wife Annette died,and built a new life for herself in New York. Being a sevice slave at the Masters Club there feels good and gives her purpose. Master Grayson and Mistress Dominique are good owners,and treat her with the care she needs. She’s made friends,and feels at home now that she’s moved on. Until the day Jack is there….at the Club,asking her to scene with him. Here on business,he decided to drop in at the Club to play a little…..with her broken heart! Since she can’t refuse as Club slave,she accepts,but there’s no way she’ll let this man break her again…no way! If only he left it at that one scene,which felt way too good… No,the blasted man keep coming back for more,and he even buys her for 5 whole days at the charity auction! But she’s got this,she’ll manage to keep him out,keep her distance whenever she can,until those 5 days are done. And then he can bugger off back to London,thank you very much!
When Jack finally emerged from the fog called grief after his beloved wife died,he wanted to reconnect with the only other woman that held his heart,Cleo. Only to find her missing…..why did she leave,and why did she go all the way to New York? Without so much as a word? What happened? That was something he needed to find out,and after writing her a letter,and getting no reply,he followed her to New York. Seeing her again was só good,and scening with her showed him they still had that spark,that connection. Until the scene was over,and she practically dismissed him… Obviously,there was something going on and when his good friend Master Hayden came up with the plan to buy her at auction,he grabbed it with both hands.
Finding out the how and why of Cleo’s actions made Jack see what an ass he’d been,and he set about making things right straight away. Because he found he was ready to move on from his loss,and he could admit to himself that he loved Cleo without feeling guilty. But how to show her he meant to stay,when she told him everyone always left? When she admitted to having feelings for the wrong man more than once,and being hurt too often?
Cleo was afraid to open up her heart,only to see it broken yet again. But everything Jack did thís time showed her he was the exception to past experiences. He explained his actions,listened to her,and acted as if she meant something to him. But he was only in New York for a short time….and what would happen when he went home? Her friend Jess was a good listener,and the advice she gave sounded good.
This was a beautiful story,and i loved every second of it! Even with their heartbreaking past,they still found a way to listen to eachother when it mattered. Talking,as always,is só important,and when they finally did,the beauty they found after that was more than worth the risk of opening up to eachother. The way forward may have had it’s potholes,but talking helped clear the air.
Losing a loved one is devastating ,and dealing with it is só hard. But with help from the people around you,the ones that care,you wíll find a way forward eventually. One day at a time,you slowly start to feel human again. And slowly,you start making plans again. Showing you,that yes,there is still a life to be led. And that’s what Jack and Cleo found….together. ...more
This beautiful present was a gift from the authors,and it made me look forward to Christmas. It’s a delightful selection of stories that introduce you This beautiful present was a gift from the authors,and it made me look forward to Christmas. It’s a delightful selection of stories that introduce you to a number of wonderful authors. Some you might already know,some that might be new to you,but they all did their best to bring that special Christmas cheer. I’m going to give an idea of what their stories were about in order of stars.
4 stars: A Gorgeous Cowboy Christmas by Greta Rose West Juneau Moonlight wanted the smalltown living,where neighbors checked up on eachother and brought homemade cookies. Having earned enough from the sales of her books,she set out to find a place like that and ended up in Wisper. The house she bought needed stuff done to make it the home she envisioned,so she searched for someone to help her. The man that stood at her frontdoor at 7 in the bloody morning,was so much more than that,though…. And every time she looked at him,and heard him speak,she couldn’t help,but want something else from him than new shelves….. Only,he was working for her….right? So,it would be very inappropriate to jump his bones….right? When Max Gordon saw Juni for the first time,he fell for the delicious woman. Being around her,doing the things she wanted done,was sweet torture. Having read one of her books made it even worse,because all he could think of was doing all of that,and more, with her. But he couldn’t….right? Because he was working for her…right? Until Christmas Eve arrived…..and all bets were off!
4 stars: Let it Snow by Nicole Sharp Avery’s plan was to go to Eden,investigate Allen House’s claim to be a historic building,email her findings,and go home alone for Christmas. Instead,she got stuck in Eden because of heavy snow,and an avalanche. The residents of said house were stuck outside of Eden, but their cousin Nick was most definitely not. Finding him,shirtless,in the barn,in need of rescue from the local hussy made for a very unique first meeting….. One where he softly pleaded with her to pretend to be his girlfriend as he embraced her. And,since she decided to enjoy her time stuck in Eden,and he wás a very attractive man,she did as he asked. Which led to more than pretending….and a lot of fun. The extra evidence his aunt had found,and thought would help her,needed to be thoroughly researched,though. She knew she wouldn’t have enough time to do that and email her findings before the 31st,but it was something she most definitely could use for a future claim. What did it mean for Nick,though? Knowing his family were descendants of a thief,would that hurt them,or help them? He wanted to know,but did he want it to be known? And,as both were cheated on in the past,would they be able to take that leap of faith,to embrace their growing feelings,with someone they’d just met?
4 stars: Kiss Me by Cindi Page Leo is on his way to his newfound oldest brother and his family to spend Christmas together. He’s looking forward to spending time with everyone,and wonders what they’ll think of the latest episode of the series Farthington he’s acting in.

Only,when Leo meets Katja,he’s genuinely into her….and he wants to put the whole bet off! Guess what….Adam’s wife hurts herself,and he rushes her to hospital before Leo can tell him that. And when he finally gets a chance,it’s too late…. Katja never thought she’d love again after her fiancé got shot and died in Afghanistan. But the brother of her friend Adam turns out to be a serious temptation,even if he’s not her type…. Let’s face it,actor and ex army don’t really go together,right? But he crawls under her skin with the way he is,and looks,and before she knows it,she’s developing feelings for him. Until she hears about the bet…. Can Leo fix things between them before it’s too late? Or will she leave for a job in Dubai,and never see him again?
4 stars: A Marine for Christmas by Laura Mowery Kristy has wanted Brando for a long time. Her boss’ Marine buddy has it all in her eyes.

So,she’s given up on the idea of ever getting together with him. Jackson’s other friend from the Marines,Forrest…now he was easy to talk to from the first time they meet,and she liked him. When Forrest arrives in town,he visits Jackson’s bar to catch up with him. Seeing Kristy,he instantly likes her. But being freshly divorced,he’s reluctant to do something about it. But when she texts the number he left for the raffle,he can’t help,but reply. What follows is a back and forth,getting to know eachother,string of conversations.

When she went to the Round Robin Bar for a well-deserved nightcap,she met New Yorker S.J. Russell.

That was a dare Ava more than gladly accepted,and they set out on a trip to the best spots she could think of. And there were a lot! S.J. Surrendered halfway through the places they visited….no,earlier. Because he could see she loved her town,and he could see why. And the more time they spent together,the more he liked her,too.

Because Vic and Korban were convinced that she waAfter that cliffhanger from Demons and Debts,i was really worried how bad things could get for Jane. Because Vic and Korban were convinced that she was to blame for everything that happened to them. So,when the ARC of Debts and Darkness arrived,i immediately dove into it,needing the answers badly. What i got was a véry rocky road to those answers,one that hurt badly,but that gave me hope,too. Knowing what i know now,i can still see a future for them,if they’re able to make it back to eachother…..ánd defeat a very strong enemy!
Because Vic was convinced Jane was working for the enemy,and Korban agreed,things were about to change for the poor girl. Not knowing what she did wrong,Jane struggled to catch up,and failed. The way her brain worked didn’t help,not really,but it did mean she could shove the worst of her emotions down. And she needed to,badly…..because every time they were kind to her,it was followed by cruel behaviour. The only ones that were a little constant,didn’t stand up for her at those moments,either. So,she was still on her own….in a hostile world,with 5 incubi’s!
Vic was working towards the exposure of Jane’s involvement, but seeing how the others reacted to her after feeding from her,he needed to isolate her. She was even getting to him,and that simply wouldn’t do! In spite of their objections,none of the other men stopped him from taking the necessary actions,though. Even if it was cruel….
When Vic’s plan backfired spectacularly,Theo was the one to pick up the pieces. And Jane really needed him to,because she was shattered by everything that had happened. There was some very serious groveling to be done by not only Vic,but the others,too… They finally saw how cruel they’d really been…and she hadn’t even deserved any of it!!
But worse was still to come…. The veil was lifted from who was behind the Order,and their end goal was clear. There were others after Jane,and not just her stalkers,because of who she was. And on top of that,something really bad happened….. Which leaves me with yet another cliffhanger that’s killing me!!
Kyra has really nailed Jane’s character. Her emotions are só clear,só well described,and i love that girl! She’s lonely,hurting,and in desperate need of tlc. But every time she hits a wall,every time they hurt her,she gathers her big girl panties,and toughens up. It clearly costs her,and she still hurts deep down,but she won’t allow those incubi’s to break her!
Talking about those…. I would LOVE to hit a couple of them on the head with a hammer! Vic first,because he’s supposed to be the smart one and he didn’t act like it for even one second. Then Korban,because in spite of how she made him feel,he still believed the worst of her. Sie never felt as good as he did now,but did he stop Vic,or Korban? Paris may have been acting like the fun guy with her,but i didn’t really see him do anything to stop what they did to her. Theo,he was the only one that tried to help Jane whenever and however he could. And for that i give him credit. In the end,they all dó care about Jane,but their actions háve costed them the trust they need from her….. Let’s hope they can find a way to get it back before it’s too late!
To find that out,along with everything else i need to know,i am in desperate need of Darkness and Debauchery,so….Kyra? Please hurry!!!...more

These men will do anything to keep their loved ones safe and make them happy…..once they see sense,that is….lol They may make the wrong decisions at first,but once they see the light,they’re prepared to fight for the one that holds their heart. Getting the ARC of their stories is a treat,and leaving an honest review is easy….i love them all!
Sean may have had his doubts about Gabby,and she may have been using him to scratch an itch,but he’s done. He’s determined to make sure she’s eating healthy,as well as regularly,and that she gets enough sleep. Because she’s fading before his eyes,and that simply won’t do! This baby girl is going to get the Daddy she clearly needs,him. Finding out who she really is working for may be a surprise,but being ordered to keep her safe works perfectly for him. It gives him a chance to start over with her,and build something good… If only they knew where the danger threatening her,and him apparently,came from….and what the endgame of the mysterious enemy was.
Gabby regretted coming to Club Apocalypse,because it meant putting everyone at risk. And it put one man in particular in grave danger,a man she cared about more than she should…. Trying to leave didn’t exactly go as planned,though….and she ends up back at the club,in the hands of the same man she tried to resist. So,it’s time to call in back-up,from a few friends on the wrong side of the track. Because she needs this threat to go away before anyone gets hurt.
Having Little time,and having the structure Gabby needed so badly,feels so good…. And being his baby girl’s Daddy feels right for Sean,too. Too bad the enemy doesn’t seem to agree,and starts killing people. And if that isn’t bad enough…..his Gabby is taken!!
My heart ached for Gabby….she was só lonely,even surrounded by people. Her childhood was a nightmare until Nigel took her in,and she took it hard when she lost him. She may have been a tough cookie,but deep down she was such a sweetie. All she wanted was a safe place to be the Litle girl with the Daddy she loved. Sean only wanted to do the right thing,but got lost in how to do that. His intentions were good,but fear of loved ones getting hurt,of not being able to keep his Little girl safe,was really weighing on him. After making one wrong decision,he was man enough to make things right,and i love him for it. ...more

After receivingWhen i heard Ella Jacobs was looking for someone to read her story,in all of it’s unfinished glory,i read the blurb,and was intrigued. After receiving and reading a bèta copy,she then finished it to what it is today. A rollercoaster of emotions,that can be hard to read at times. But one with a lot of love….and one that left a lasting impression on me. Making me want to hear more.
Clara is a music student that has been in a Dom/sub relationship with the famous tenor Markus for a year now. With him traveling a lot for his work,it’s difficult at times,but he flies her over to wherever he is,whenever he can. Now,with her final exams done,they’re spending the summer in Berlin,where he’s rehearsing his role in Tosca. It’s here that he decides to surprise his little sub with pianolessons from an institute in his world…his very good friend,the world renowned conductor Grigory. And this surprise turns out to be both wonderful and painful at the same time…because Grigory has a very effective way of correcting her. With his baton,on her arm. Not only that,Grigory draws out an overwhelming amount of conflicting feelings in Clara. Knowing Markus trusts him,and knowing he not only instigated,but approves of them getting close,doesn’t make it any easier. The hot and cold this stern man shows her time and time again,makes it even worse. There are so many moments she could’ve used her safeword,but didn’t,it makes your head spin. The fact that Markus is her Dom gives her an anchor,knowing he loves her gives her something to lean on. But the growing feelings she has for a man that doesn’t seem to care about her,leave her adrift,and she doesn’t know what to do about them. Until he cuts her off entirely,saying he can’t do “this” because she draws him in too much….because she submits tóó sweetly to him. Markus already had to step in a few times,talking sense into the man,but this? Is this something even he can’t fix? Which, very neatly, leaves you with a hell of a cliffhanger….
Throughout the story,i wanted to shout at Clara “use your safeword! Speak up!” Because the way Grigory kept hurting her,not only with his discipline,but with the way he kept discarding her,was way past acceptable. And she should’ve told Markus a lot more about what happened….leaving him in the dark about the way Grigory treated her,was not a wise decision. It didn’t help that he gave her space to deal with it,and he should’ve been firmer. How he came to the conclusion his sub could take that kind of treatment,i don’t know. But exposing her to it in the hope to shake his friend out of whatever was wrong with him,was not something he should’ve done without consulting her first. Simply stating “i’m the Dom,i know what’s best” was not the way to go,and it left Clara in a very vulnerable position with no way out… Ok,he talked to his friend when things got too bad,but is that enough??
As first stories go,this was one that still makes me want more. If only to see if Grigory finally knows how to treat a sub properly. If only to see how Clara is picking herself up after all he’s done so far. If only to see if Markus will be there when she needs him the most…. And if only to see how this dynamic can settle into something that works….for all of them,but most of all for Clara!...more

I’m always eager to read anything she comes up with,and tSinistre Ange is going back to the Planets Apart,and this time it’s Xanthos,the pony planet. I’m always eager to read anything she comes up with,and the prison planets have all been só very interesting so far. So,when i got the ARC,naturally i immediately jumped at the chance. What i got was a delicious story,one i enjoyed a lot!
Samara Winters attacked her fellow actress because she got the role Samara wanted. Cady Kidman pressed charges,claiming Samara intended to kill her. To Samara’s horror,she was convicted of the crime,and about to be sent to one of the prison planets! The only thing she was allowed,was pick a planet…and what good would thát do? She needed to tell her side,she was the victim here! In the end,she reluctantly chose Xanthos,because it meant becoming a show pony. And that meant showtime,and an opportunity to show the world she wás a victim. Only,once she arrived,everything that happened to her was nót what she expected…. She was treated as a pony,not as the star she was,and that simply wouldn’t do. The man that bought her,Rian,didn’t treat her any different than he did his other “ponies”,but the orgasms he gave her as a treat were…..she hated to admit it…but they wére delicious. She did her best to perform as he wanted her to,but not just to avoid punishment. No,she álways wanted to be the best…plus,if she wás the best,she would show everyone back home she was thriving,even if she was a victim.
Would Rian be able to change her into what he saw in her,and make her like it? His stable master Tristan didn’t see it happening…Giving her a new name straight after he bought her was only the beginning. Samara was to be Charisma Dawn from now on,and he would show her she was his pony. His to train,his to touch,his to punish or pleasure. Her natural desire to perform worked in her favor,and he would teach her the rest.
At first,i didn’t really like Samara,she was a spoiled actress that was used to getting her way,no matter how. But once she was on Xanthos,she started to change,albeit reluctantly at first. What emerged in the end,was a pony that was happy with her trainers,that had found her happy place. Thát was who i liked,and i loved how Rian and Tristan managed to get her there! Those were two véry fine trainers….they really cared about her,and i love how they showed it....more

In true Club Apocalypse style,the twelve days of tAs i said,i am reviewing Raisa Greywood’s contribution to the Holiday Shorts,Twelve Days of Kinkmas. In true Club Apocalypse style,the twelve days of this Christmas song have been used as inspiration in a very kinky way. And what a delicous assortment the devious Doms of the club have come up with! Who better to explore them all than Ryan and his sweet wife Carrie? She’s been through so much in that cult….and now that she’s finally finding her HEA with her Dom and husband Ryan,it’s time to find out her likes,and her dislikes. To push her a little,until she learns saying yellow isn’t going to make Ryan angry or anything. On the contrary,he’s proud of his sweet little subbie every time she uses it. And he loves making her swear,which she does more and more….with good reason! LOL
Conclusion? If you want some kinky inspiration to spice up your Christmas,i suggest you read Raisa’s story. I enjoyed it,a lot! (And maybe will be trying some of them myself…..)...more
Greta Rose is staying in Wisper,getting to know it’s residents better,and i’m só glad she does. Because there are quite a few i was curious about,and sGreta Rose is staying in Wisper,getting to know it’s residents better,and i’m só glad she does. Because there are quite a few i was curious about,and she’s giving me the dirty deeds on them….and i’m loving it! But with Storms Inside Us it’s só much more….the depth of their emotions,the struggles of both men…it was breaking my heart to see them go through all that. Knowing they could be so good for eachother,but seeing them struggle on their own,meant this ARC was a very emotional story to read.
Having to deal with what happened in the past is tearing Theo apart,and for a while alcohol seems a way to escape the devastating feelings he has. To escape the self loathing of knowing he was ready to kill a man. To avoid the question of who he was now,without his sister to care for,and without being a CEO. But the alcohol doesn’t prevent him from wanting the beautiful man that is his lawyer…. Only,he knows he’s not good enough for him,and he’s not sure he’ll ever be. He needs a helpful nudge from a new friend to make a start at finding a way out of his misery. To stop drinking,to face his past,to find a new meaningful future. Preferably with Brady…..if he’ll still have him.
Brady is struggling with his father’s ALS….seeing the man he’d always looked up to being slowly reduced to a mere shadow of who he was,is tearing him apart. Knowing he’s still in there,fully aware of what’s happening to him,and what that does to the ones he loves. If he could run away from it,he would,but he can’t….because it would mean missing those precious last moments with the father he still loves so much. Plus,there is a man he would love to get to know better. A man that is beautiful,even at his lowest point in life. There’s one problem though….he’s his lawyer,and it’s unethical to be in a relationship with your client. Also,they’re both in a rough place and in no position to even think about starting one!
What these two tortured souls need,is someone to love. Someone to see them for who they are,and simply be there. Once they gave in,once they allowed themselves to show the stormy emotions inside,it made them feel a peace they’d never felt before. The sky cleared,the sun started shining again,and it showed them the road towards the happiness they so deserved!
The emotions in this story…..they’re something we can all relate to at times,and Greta Rose caught those perfectly! Not only that,but she also shows us that everyone deserves a second chance if they show they need it. And that it doesn’t matter who you are,or what you do,there is always someone that loves you. And that means you too….Sam and Frank!...more
