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.

Ever feel like your entire life has been planned out for you before you were even born?

As the only girl in the Sutter family and daughter of an ‘almost Olympian’, my parents have always had goals for me. I never questioned them and always strived to be the best. I thought I knew what I wanted in life until I didn’t.

One mistake, and the straight path I had planned was suddenly crooked. Goals that I’d worked for since I was little didn’t seem so important anymore; And the one place I never thought I’d go back to was the only place I wanted to be… home, where I found comfort in the most unlikely place.

At six years my senior, Brock Foster has always been unattainable. He was the boy that filled my fantasies. I resigned myself years ago to never feel his touch, never know what his kisses were like, or to have him wrap me in his arms. I never thought when I came home that he would still be there, or that he’d remember me.

Sometimes the future that we think we want isn’t what we need. Sometimes those bumps and turns mold us into who we were always meant to be, and sometimes they lead us to who we should have always been with.

Brock Foster helped me to embrace my path. He taught me to stop and catch the raindrops, and open myself to love again.

I received this book for an honest review.

Oh boy Nick Sutter there is a new Alpha in town.  Who cares that he is a former student, good friend and trusted member of your football staff…he is going to become you enemy to the 100^th degree!!!  Ok it’s not THAT serious but when a man makes a play for your baby girl……daddy isn’t going to like it or him very much!!  Yeah can you tell I loved seeing Nick get so fired up and having Leah there to “talk him off the ledge” so to speak!!??

Emma Sutter loved Brock for as long as she can remember but given there was a 5 year age gap there was no way anything was going to happen plus it’s not like he thought of her that way.

Brock Stone always was drawn to Emma but she was hands off for 2 reasons : her age and her daddy!!

When Emma is in college but returns for the summer the two have a chance meeting.  He knew her right away but she wasn’t so sure.  The chemistry is there and crazy thick.  They start sneaking around behind old dad’s back.  Brock and Emma are falling fast and hard but the sneaking around is wearing Brock down.  When Emma is about to come clean to her folks about Brock, her past comes crashing down hard all around her.  Secrets she never wanted told are revealed and she is left drowning.  Brock is a mess and confused.

This book makes my heart so happy but I am left confused….do I stay with Team Nick or do I jump on to Team Brock?  Any fan of the Shattered Series will be as excited as I was to read this book.  I loved revisiting all of my old favorites, plus seeing their kids grown up.  I can’t wait for Aaron and Ryan’s books because those boys…..especially Aaron are trying my nerves!!!!  Kick his butt Mel!!!

My favorite scenes : The letter Leah gives to Em…teary I tell ya annnd the Epilogue.  OMG Nick Sutter you are a trouble maker!!!

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

I loved the Sutter family so to be able to see their children grow and watch their parents struggle with the children’s decisions was amazing.  They are my family I feel what they feel.

Emma went away to college but is now home on summer break. Something happened that changed her but she is not saying what. She is keeping that secret locked up close to her heart. Emma wanted to get away forget the past go back to what she knows and loves her family. What she doesn’t expect it to fall for a man let a lone Brock Foster her first crush.

Brock Foster is back in his home town working for Nick Sutter when he runs into Emma Sutter his world is shifted.  He has feelings for Emma but with her age and her dad being Nick she has always been OFF LIMITS and even though they are older same rules apply since he now works for Nick. This has trouble written all over it.

I am Team Brock all the way he stole my heart after reading this one. I loved seeing Nick deal with his daughter and her issues. I also enjoyed meeting Emma’s best friend Melinda and cannot wait to see what is in store for her.  There were some great scenes in this book that had me crying and laughing. nick has not changed I don’t think he ever will, he will always be a kid at heart. I am so excited to read more about these Sutter kids. I have a feeling I will want to do harm to Aaron when his book comes out but somehow I think Mel will turn him around.

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!!

She plans to write as long as people continue loving what she does, otherwise she’s going to say screw it and do her second dream of owning a coffee shop. Though, she may still do both.

If you are looking for a quick read that has insta-love between an older man and younger woman you will probably enjoy this one. There are hot scenes a little drama that makes this a good read.

Emma is on a break from school and headed home. This should be an enjoyable down time for her but she will have to see her dad’s best friend Grady.  Emma has had feelings for him for a long time and before school started she poured her heart out to him only to have her heart crushed.

Grady has seen all of Emma’s firsts as he watched her grow up. He knows he shouldn’t have feelings for her but he can no longer ignore his heart. Can they make this work? What will become of his relationship with his best friend?

I enjoyed this quick read. Grady and Emma were great although I wanted to give them both a good shake at times. Grady for letting a girl speak to and put down Emma the way she did. Emma for running away instead of talking to Grady. The insta attraction lust and love was burning hot. I enjoyed Emma and Grady’s story.

He’s the kind of my man my mother always warned me about.

Small towns keep no secrets. Everyone knows all the mistakes that cover Greer Jones’ past.

Yet one look, one kiss, and somehow all his wrongs are suddenly oh so right.

In the end, my heart wants what it wants even as my mind screams he’s one bad …

Mother Trucker.

I have enjoyed all of Chelsea Camaron’s books so far and this was a great entertaining quick read. So picking this up was a great deal plus I absolutely loved the title.

Greer is the ultimate dad he gave up a lot to make sure his daughter was provided for and knew she had someone she could depend on. Greer has to deal with his daughter’s mother who only tries to squeeze every last penny from Greer and does not treat their daughter well.

Lia has had her eye on Greer for a while but with everything going on in his life he probably wouldn’t have time for her. Things change after a meeting in the local bar and a ride home that kiss changed everything.

I absolutely fell in love with Greer the way he treated his daughter and Lia was amazing. Lia was wonderful the way she took care of her niece and Greer’s daughter. I really would have loved more of Greer and his kind heart that is full of love for his girls. He works hard and loves harder.
