Over the years since a series of catastrophic natural disasters left most of the Earth in ruins, those who survived have returned to a much more primitive way of life. In this harsh world, men fight to protect what remains of humanity while women care for their homes, bear children to rebuild civilization, and obey their husbands or face stern chastisement.

Twenty-year-old Lara has grown used to fending for herself, but when she defies the strict rules of the community she ends up in deep trouble. To avoid banishment, she is informed that she must spend three months as the prisoner of two battle-hardened commanders of the village’s soldiers, during which time she will be required to submit to them in any way they demand.

The commanders intend to ensure that Lara is taught a lesson she will never forget, and soon she is blushing with shame as her bottom is thoroughly punished, both inside and out. Despite her sore backside, however, she finds herself quivering with desire and begging for more when the two handsome, dominant warriors show her all the ways in which a man can enjoy a woman. But when Lara learns of a dire threat to the village, can she convince her men to heed her warnings or will she be forced to take matters into her own hands?

Publisher’s Note: Kept by the Commanders includes spankings, sexual scenes including threesomes, and elements of BDSM. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

I bought a copy of this book after reading another of this authors books.

HOLY MOTHER! This book is super hawt and uber erotic.  If you are looking for some naught filled pages, then this my friends is your lotto winner.  This is a hawt ménage with elements of BDSM and a whole lotta spanking throughout this entire story.

The long *snickers* and the longer *bigger snicker* of it is that the world as we know of it gone.  There are a lot of factions who are not good people and some factions that are good people.  Tye and Rex protect their group of people but are not happy when Lara infiltrates their family/people.  They offer her a deal and she takes it.  This is the deal “Do what we say when we say it and you can stay here and be protected OR Get out and be on your own.”  SO Lara takes the men up on the deal.

Obviously the three start to develop love and mutual respect but the past is still causing issued for the ménage to formally solidify a forever for them.   Lara and the Commanders must learn to rely on each other as well as themselves to make the connection a forever one.

The boys are back and fiercer than ever!

“We were a unit tonight, moving as one. Even apart, we are deadly, but when combined – we are f**kin’ unstoppable.” ~~ God ~~

Atlanta’s notorious narcotics task force is at it again. They are stronger, bigger, and better than ever. Especially when a city councilman sends RECON Marine, Edwin Steele – who’s been blacklisted from his Oakland department – to join the team. God and Day weren’t recruiting. They have a lot on their plates, like the fact they’re supposed to be getting married soon. They don’t have the time or the patience to integrate a decorated war hero with a slight chip on his shoulder into their well-oiled machine.

A hothead that’s uncontrollable and terrible with authority… but wasn’t that their team motto?

Steele was ready to hang up his shield. He was done fighting with bigoted bastards that couldn’t respect the job. He was good at fighting; he just needed the right team to fight with. When his uncle – City Councilman, Rasmus Steele – shows him a video of God’s team in action, he knows right away, it’s where his nephew belongs in order to restore his faith.

Steele pointed to the driver, a behemoth of a man wielding those massive firearms like a true beast… like a soldier. “And him. Who the hell is he?”

“That’s your new boss. Lieutenant Cashel Godfrey… they call him… God.”

Steele was skeptical about his new placement, but when he meets God’s technology specialist/computer genius, “Tech,” he’s willing to give it his all, and he definitely shows and proves.

Tech is stunning. His sweater vest and khakis, a stark contrast to the blue-jeaned roughnecks he works with. A beautiful sheep amongst the wolves. Steel thinks there’s no way the brilliant man would be interested in a hardhead like him, but Tech has a few badass hidden talents of his own and manages to surprise him… surprise all of them.

This story is a part of a series but can stand alone. It does not end on a cliffhanger and has a HEA. There are no multiple pairings in this novel.

Tech was getting ready to go over to Syn and Day when one of the homicide detectives burst through their doors wearing a pair of sweats and an APD tank top, his face sweaty and flushed but his eyes as wide as saucers. “Your new guy, the Marine, is sparring with God downstairs!” he yelled, and took off back through the bullpen, a few of the beat officers racing along behind him.

Ruxs and Green were already in motion, taking off like two bats out of hell. Tech was right behind them and he could hear the heavy steps of Syn and Day on his heels.

“Hey, what’s going on?” The captain frowned from the entrance to his office, looking confused at all his officers scattering like rats.

“The Marine’s in the ring with God,” someone yelled.

“Oh hell,” the captain said and joined in the crowd.

Tech’s heart was beating frantically, taking the stairs two at a time, all of them sounding like a cattle stampede. It was no secret around the precinct who their new addition was, a lot of them having seen the footage of him at the fast food robbery, so the thought of him going head to head with the baddest cop in Atlanta, that was something to run and see.

When Tech came through the swinging doors, the first thing he saw was the goddamn crowd. Everyone was down there, even a couple of the officers from booking. What the hell? Then he noticed all the cell phones that were pointed in the direction of the ring, recording. The noise was crazy like they were watching two heavyweight champions. His breath stopped when he saw God shove Steele into the ropes and hammer away at his ribs. Steele tucked his elbows in tight, a look of determination and pain etched on his sweaty face.

“Get outta there, Marine!” a deep voice shouted. “Get off the ropes.”

Tech watched Steele wrap God up in a bear hug to halt his punches. God stumbled back, pushing Steele off him, but to his surprise, Steele came at God with a combination that would’ve made Ali proud.

“Yeah!” The crowd cheered when God stumbled back into the buckle, his big biceps flexing as he tried to defend against Steele’s hits.

Tech swallowed hard. He was amazed and extremely turned on by how fast Steele moved.

God swung a quick left hook, the crowd erupting again when Steele ducked and returned the same level of punishment on God’s ribs. Steele jumped back, meeting God in the center of the ring. Tech didn’t know what round this was, but both of them looked like they’d had the workout of their lives. He’d seen God not even break a sweat in the ring, but large droplets poured off his chest and shoulders while he brought his hands up, squaring off with Steele again. God gave Steele a come-hither sign, telling him he was ready for more.

Steele brought his arms back up and Tech’s mouth watered, taking in Steele’s strong upper body, his broad shoulders and ripped back. His pecs were thick and dripping sweat profusely, making the large tattoo there glisten in the dim lighting. The huge bald eagle clutching the world in his sharp talons with USMC beneath it, done masterfully. But the best part was Steele’s knuckleduster piercing the image, the words Death Before Dishonor wrapped around the blade. Tech’s skin heated and he eased back into the corner to silently keep watching and also hide his reaction.

What the what what??  A Girl falls her for dad’s buddy.  Ok I was a little squeamish but then I was like “Ryan won’t take it THERE to a gross place…..right??” SO I sat on New Year’s Eve and queued it up in my reading day binge…….

So Emma is headed home from school for break.  She is looking forward to just being able to chill out but know she will see Grady.  She has been attracted to him forever but he is daddy’s friend…..

Grady has watched Emma grow up her entire life.  He has watched her go from a gawky teen to a beautiful woman. Should he be lusting after his friend’s daughter?  UHM NO but he can’t stop the growing attraction between them.

If you like insta-love then you prolly are not going to be fan but this is a short story so you gotta expect it.  If you are not a fan of older dude and younger girl or the whole daddy’s best friend story line, again you prolly wanna stay away but if you love Ryan and know she won’t make you feel tooo skeeved out then you will enjoy the short sexy read.

My names Claudia Adams. I’m a fairly upbeat vampire with an unhealthy obsession for glitter, and I love to dance at the strip club and bar I work at called The Sassy Sanguine.

I thought my life couldn’t get any crazier after an Ancient almost took away my best friend, Lucy, six months ago.

Why did I have to be wrong?

Not only am I dealing with THE vampire bride from hell, but now I’m being reeled into an STF investigation that is bringing back memories I didn’t know I was missing.

Memories that could begin to unwind my sanity the closer I get to solving this case.

I don’t have nearly enough glitter to pretty up this ugly mess…

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

GAH!!  I am so excited to get this installment of the serial.  Claudia totally killed me in the beginning parts of the serial so finally getting to see her with her men is going to make my heart happy.  The only think about this book I didn’t like…It needed to be LONGER!!  I wasn’t ready for the end!!

Claudia is totally in love with her maker Abraham but he doesn’t see her that way or does he?  She is uncovering some things about herself and her past that has been kept blocked from her mind.  We learn why and what she has blocked plus by whom.  I can’t wait for the continuation of this story.

Abraham and Diego are both mesmerized by the glitter queen aka Lucy’s bestie.  Both men want more from her then they are ready to admit to themselves but when Claudia starts to remember her past they will be there to help her.  Abraham is there because he is her maker but Diego is there because her memory will help his case!

I seriously can not wait for more from this series!!

However, Christopher “Outlaw” Caldwell, the club’s president, is suspicious of Knox’s true reasons for being there. Something about Knox just rubs Outlaw the wrong way, therefore, he asks Roxy to get Knox into bed for some “pillow talk”. At first, she’s outraged at Outlaw’s proposal, but accepts that he might be right and the club could be in jeopardy. She agrees to “date” Knox and the war of wills begin.

Knox intends to achieve that by any means possible.

Addie Jones was a woman with a plan. Or at least she had been until the manager she’d hired for her bakery embezzled all her funds and absconded to parts unknown. Now she’s facing ruin and her number one enemy, Math. With only a few short months left to turn her finances around, she needs to find a new slogan to live by. Her current catchphrase “Don’t make me math” simply won’t do.

Vaughn McAdams agreed to do a solid for his cousin and help her bestie recover from her recent financial losses. He hadn’t counted on Fate smacking him upside the head with a rolling pin, or the zany baker who now calls herself his boss. Her inability to balance a checkbook has him almost as frustrated as her insistence on keeping their relationship strictly professional.

Whenever they’re together, things start heating up, and it isn’t just the bakery ovens. Can Vaughn convince Addie there’s more to life than candies, cupcakes, and crumpets?

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

AHHH!!  Ok if you haven’t read anything by this author, you need too!  I am tellin’ ya.  Her characters crack me UP.  They are totally you and me.  They are flawed but perfect in their flaws.

This book I loved because we got to see character from her other books so it was awesome to catch up especially with the Zach and his lemon donut eating 8.5 month pregnant wife, Erica.  We also got to catch up with a few other characters from the other books as well.

This book is a quick but hilarious and sexy read about Addie and her hot knight in pie crust armor named Vaughn.  The banter between the two ….omg sooo funny.  They heat and chemistry was off the wall at times.  The back and forth, will they or wont they cross the “employee/employer” line had me going batty!!

The two have some issues with communication and reading the other wrong which can cause some trouble along with Mr. Hot Pie Crust trying to help when he should be butting out but all in all the couple climb a few mountains to be together.  It’s a super sweet read…but by sweet trust me when I say its super hawt and full of naughty fun!!  When you finish, this book be sure to grab the full-length novels from this author because you will LOVE them!!!!
