#REVIEW – Too Many by Alexa Riley
#NewRelease #BDSM – The Russian Reborn (Rise of the Dominants #3) by Red Phoenix
Rytsar Durov is a passionate man…
Seducing women – he’s a natural. Pleasing women – his talents speak for themselves.
A sadist known for his skill with the cat o’ nines, Rytsar enjoys his popularity with submissives at the dungeon, and is caught off guard by the fire-hot attraction he feels for Samantha, a young Domme.
He knows better than to test those waters, but damn…he just can’t resist her.
When two sexy Dominants collide in the bedroom, passions ignite!
But will Rytsar’s heart survive the inferno it creates?
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
I have been waiting for this book. Rytsar is my favorite of all the Doms and we finally get his story. We are able to see what all has happened in Rytsar’s life that makes him the man he is today.
Rytsar had a hard life growing up that he had to overcome. As a collage student in the US he finds 2 friends who become a life line for him. They are always there for each other to help them through what ever is going on in their life. We are finally told the entire story of what happened between him and Samantha that life changing event day. All I can say is this absolutely broke me to see how She destroyed him. I loved seeing Rytsars mom she has a heart of gold here again seeing what happens to her sends Rytsar over the edge. The only one that could possibly help him is his blood brother, Thane.
I like seeing Thane, Brad and Rytsar together the bond they share is amazing. They are all alpha but have totally different ways of projecting this. Rytsar’s story made my heart blead everything that he had to endure. I enjoyed seeing him wield his cat o’ nines. I enjoyed getting glimpses into the younger years of the Dom’s but most of all it was a way to see how they came into the BDSM lifestyle and how they became the men they are today. Thank you Red Phoenix for sharing their story with us.

#IAE19 #AuthorSpotlight – Jaime Russell
Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.
My name is Jaime Russell and I’m horrible at talking about myself. I stutter and stammer when someone asks me questions about my books or even me. I love reading, watching movies, cuddling with my puppies, spending time with family, and trying fun colors with my hair. I’m socially awkward and I always apologize for being weird. Give me fireball shots and call me pretty then I’m putty in your hands. HA
Where is your favorite place to write and what food must be present?
My favorite place to write is in my bed, watching something on the TV which is usually a Hallmark movie or Criminal Minds/Burn Notice. I have to have my Mountain Dew, fireball, Twizzlers, and chocolate.
What are you favorite things about attending signings?
I love being able to talk about books. I love being able to talk about book boyfriends and not get the weird looks.
What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?
E.L. James(I know cliche) but she is the reason for getting me back into the love of reading. Danielle Steel is my all time favorite author who I’d do just about anything to make that happen.
What author would you love to write with?
C.G. Lee, Teri Kay, Chelle C Craze, Letha Gene, Kristina Canday, and all of the great women of the MC world,
What is your favorite memory so far as an author?
I cried the first time someone who wasn’t a family member or close friend came up to me and told me that she loved my book. Hitting the publish button on my first book and then hyperventilating into a bag afterwards was a great memory. I actually have that picture because it was funny.

When Kelsey walks in to get her first tattoo she finds out the artist is a guy from her past that made her high school life hell when they are force to listen to each other they both have an open mind and a changed hearts.
Review by Twinsie Dee
Jane Charles has lived in the Midwest her entire life. In fact, she lived in the same house until the day she married. As a child she would more likely be found outside with a baseball than a book in her hand. In fact, Jane hated reading until she was sixteen. Out of boredom on a long road trip she borrowed her older sister’s historical romance and fell in love with reading. She long ago lost count of how many fiction novels she has read over the years but her love for them never died. Along with romance she has a passion for history and the two soon combined when she penned her first historical romance. What turned into a hobby became a passion, which has been fully supported by her husband, three children and three cats.
#WOTR19 #Review #Novella – His Redheaded Slut by Vivian Ward
“Tonight my little redheaded sl*t will earn her spanking.”
Aaron is as cool as they come but when he meets a fiery redhead, she gives him a run for his money.
Scarlett doesn’t care how rich this cocky billionaire is because she’s used to men like him; they’re a dime a dozen in the city that never sleeps.
But the more he taunts her with each passing night that he’s on vacation, her curiosity begins to get the best of her when he challenges her to a night alone in his hotel room.
What could one night hurt?
Little does she know, this man is about to put her over his knee and show her who’s in charge.
And there’s one more thing this cocktail waitress doesn’t realize: she’s about to become his redheaded sl*t.
*The Cocktail Girls is a shared world between 14 of your favorite romance authors! Each novella is a stand-alone story set in the city of sin. Grab your kindle, a cocktail, and get ready to meet our new swoon-worthy alphas!
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
OMG this was my first book by Vivian but I gotta tell ya, I wanna read more!! This was just the perfect novella for me to get an idea of her writing style, which I will say is hawt and hilarious!!
The story was about uber alpha Aaron who met a hottie waitress a few months ago and he needed to go back and claim her as his own.
Scarlett is accustomed to men coming on strong, given that she is a waitress at a casino bar in Vegas. Seems all the drunk men feel they are allowed to touch so when Aaron strolls back in, she is eye rolling him as just another handsy guy.
The story is sweet and hawt with a dash of humor throw in. I enjoyed seeing Aaron jumping to try and impress Scarlett into going on a date with him. I also loved Scarlett’s friends seeing Aaron as a guy worth trusting and getting her to finally agree to a date which changes the dynamic of their relationship.
This was an erotic novella and a great glimpse into Vivian’s crazy book worlds for anyone looking to try something new and naughty!!!

#WOTR19 #Review – Last Chance (Chances #1) by Kyleigh Castronaro
At twenty-three, Shep is a single, self-proclaimed playboy. Yet from the first moment he saw Honey, he knew he would do whatever it took to have her. And Shep never loses when he sets out to win.
Honey was eighteen and happy with her simple life. She never thought she wanted anything more than that. Until she met Shep, the fast-talking, card-dealing city boy who invades her small town for the summer.
Young love is tricky. No matter how hard and fast you fall, sometimes that’s just not enough. The end of summer comes all too fast, Honey and Shep soon learn that maybe the heat they felt was just the summer sun.
At fifty-three, Shep’s widowed and has two kids now. He’s never loved again like he did that summer. Then, a familiar smile on a website leaves Shep wondering: how many chances do you get at true love?
I received this book from the author.
Wowzers!! This book is something different to read. The story is told in a flashback style of past events while the main character is retelling parts in the present.
Shep and Honey…Hot Mess Express!! These two combust into a passionate love affair and when things were good…..things were good…but when the shoe dropped, then things were soooo bad. These two met when they were both relatively young. Shep had just left the army and this love was his first real relationship. Honey was a young girl of 18 and Shep overwhelmed her in the best and worst of ways.
These two needed some serious Dr. Phil time. Communication is a huge issue causing so many fights and problem. When Honey calls it off, it sets off a new path for both who long for the other but are happy with where they are and what they have accomplished.
When fate brings them together some years later in life, they both embrace the chance to be together while forgiving the sins of the past. I enjoyed the fact Shep owned up to his actions and reactions, but that Honey also accepts responsibility in the complete melt down of the relationship. Seems with age these two just might be getting it right the 2nd time around.

Review by Twinsie Dee
Anya writes stories with romantic slants. Sometimes they’re extra naughty and sometimes they’re sickeningly sweet.
