I was giving this book by the author and this is my honest opinion

Jordan lives in a small town and doesn’t really hang out with too many people only because she has a huge secret that she’s never told she can shape-shift into a wolf. She’s never met anyone else that’s like her until a mother and daughter move into town. They become close and Jordan  discovered that the new girl can also shape-shift but instead of a wolf she shifts into a bobcat. So now Jordan has a friend and she couldn’t be happier, she had someone else who was like her and she didn’t feel so alone anymore. There are a lot of mystery things that are happening in this small town that Jordan and Georgia just can’t explain so they decided to investigate what they find will shock them both or will it?  This was a good read but a little rough for me to get into in the beginning just felt like it was all over the place in the first chapter but then got back on track in the next chapter. It was a very good and quick read.

Leave a comment

Ariel Kimber isn’t your average seventeen-year-old girl. She’s recently discovered she’s a witch with magic and is looking to find her place in a brand-new world. Her place in this new world is in a coven with seven guys.

After all of the horrible things she’s been forced to endure, Ariel was looking forward to building her new life with the family she’s found herself a part of and focusing on healing with Dash after what Chucky did to the both of them. After the blood that had been spilled, they all struggle to put those memories and the incident behind them. It’s easier said than done, though.

Quinton is plagued with guilt and the rest of them struggle with the fact that they almost lost one of their brothers and Ariel is left with a permanent reminder of the incident.

New bonds are forged, and just as things are starting to settle down again for Ariel and her coven, the Council of Elders makes it’s first appearance in Ariel’s life. And they don’t plan on going anywhere any time soon.

Evvie and Brett have been together for 10 years and 3 beautiful children later and they are still as happy as they were in the beginning or were they? Evvie had been a stay at home mom and wife taking care of everything, while Brett went and ran all their successful businesses. But Evvie couldn’t help but feel like Brett had became distant and not attracted to her anymore, will her insecurities be what pulls them apart or will the reason he’s been distant be what they need to keep they close? A great way to rap up this amazing series.

Releasing control is relief… I was warned about men like Brett Maclean. He was dark and thrilling, intense and controlling. And he captivated me from the very start. He unleashed something inside of me like no other. His bad rep and troubled past drew me to him like gasoline feeding a flame. With just one taste, I felt the danger in him, the uncontrollable power that left me breathless. The passion consumed me. Fast and hard. Temptation couldn’t guard my heart. I should have known a man of such raw and wild desires came with competition

The sharp edge of love… Brett MacLean was possessive. Even more since I became his. He was my desire…my ultimate pleasure…he was mine. As each day passed, he revealed a part of himself that had lain dormant. A broken childhood. A troubled man. One I was determined to help. After months together, I thought I knew him. But soon realized I was wrong. His dark secrets were only the beginning. The past was more disturbing than I ever could have fathomed. His deep seeded need for me came with a price that could have consequences. I needed him just as much. Because of this, we would be tested. My greatest fear was that it would take us beyond the limits of our love.

The steamy relationship just keeps getting hotter between Evvie and Brett. But with the recent return of Brett’s mother who ruined his life as a child, things just keep getting worst. It’s like the universe is betting everything against them and throwing everything it has at them to get them to fail. But Evvie isn’t going to give up on them and is going to try everything she can to help Brett keep the demons away in a healthy manner and it might just help her the process. Giving everything to each other is all the can do to keep their sanity and keep each other safe, new clubs being opened together, and officially moving together is just the start for these two and prove just how far they will go through for each other. Another great story the raw hat passion just makes your inside get all warm and makes you want what they have well the good parts anyways.

Oh my hawt If Brett MacLean doesn’t get your blood flowing and your insides turning I have no idea what will.  There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing this book is, Evvie got a job at the hottest bar in town working with her best friend and without her overbearing brothers and dad knowing, one thing is she hasn’t meet the boss yet. But she was about to get a whole lot more then just have a asshole as a boss she was getting the sexy devil himself. Will the temptation from his past life be what pushes Evvie away from the only person that could make her truly happy, or will her fears be what pushes them away. Brett has a lot to overcome within himself so that he can get the one shot at happiness he didn’t know that could ever happen for him it different with Evvie and he doesn’t understand why.

#wotr #partofaseries #bdsm Jordan’s Trials (Love Strictly Tested 3)by Anna Hague

Leave a comment


A grisly murder…a Dom with plenty to lose. My name is Jordan Caldera, and that’s me, the Dom with everything to lose. Yes, I hated the woman who threatened to expose the passionate BDSM lifestyle I share with my wife, Angel. But contrary to what the evidence implies, I didn’t kill her and my alibi is solid. Unfortunately, I was indulging a few powerful clients, administering to their dark desires, and they would sooner see me imprisoned than to publicly reveal their misunderstood cravings. My choices are simple-put my life and high-profile career at risk by exposing the truth or go to jail for a crime I didn’t commit.

Wow first off another amazing  story that keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting more. When the journalist is so close to dropping the story on who Jordan and Emma really were and what actually happened behind their closed door, they were on the verge of crazy panic not knowing what to do. Well when that very reporter ended up murdered Jordan really started to panic because when she clawed at his arm in the coffee shop days before he was afraid his DNA would be found and he was gonna be accused. Well that wasn’t the only secret he was hiding from his wife, but when the cops start snooping around Emma started wanting to know what her husband was up to at these important client dinners. And she got way more then she ever wanted to know but after being told the truth and that Jordan wasn’t going to ruin these big wigs life’s shit hit the fan and they had a huge fight. But would it be the last fight that they had with Jordan now on trial what will happen to these two once perfected lives with their slowly shattering around them.

Desperate to understand my best friend’s choice to be a submissive to her Dom husband, I decide to study BDSM for my Master’s thesis in Sociology. The very thought of giving up control terrifies me…until my research takes me to a “play party” and I witness Cameron Terry spanking a sub. The striking Dominant’s unassuming power mesmerizes me, exciting me in ways I’ve never known possible while my sheltered and strict upbringing tells me this new desire is immoral. But when at last I plead for what I crave, I struggle on the edge of fear and bliss. Can I change who I’ve always believed myself to be?

When you attack your best friend based on her new found lifestyle with her husband in the BDSM world that you don’t understand what does one do but write her thesis paper for her master’s degree on topic. Well that’s exactly what Sabrina does, once her best friend Emma forgives her, she wanted to learn more about this taboo lifestyle she knew nothing about. Well she definitely got more then she ever thought she would one see and two learn about the topic but she also never thought she would want the things she was learning about to happen to her but that’s exactly what she found herself wanting. Wow wow wow I could not put this book down for very long it was so good and captivating and not all just sex, whips, and bondage like you would think when seeing this book is about BDSM it’s really about learning and understanding what the dom/sub is learning and going through it was an amazing book.

Belle just wanted some peace and quite in her perfect studio workspace to make the perfect art piece. But when the photographer next door keeps his music up loud and the giggles from his models keep sneaking through the walls Belle has had enough.

Gray comes off as a smug guy who can get any girl he wants and his British accent helps melts some of their panties off but when he finally gets a glimpse of the neighbor and then she slashes his work, he don’t know if he will be a to get her off his mind.

Will these two see eye to eye and make it to where they can work next door to each other or will they have more between them then just doors and walls. This short story was so good just the right amount of annoyance and flirty play with a whole bunch of sexy chemistry.

Gavin was curious when he heard the voice of an angel coming from his neighbors home he had to see who it was coming from. Now he is no spring chicken but in fact a silver fox older but he wasn’t gonna let that stop him. When Lydia offered to house sit for her aunt and uncle while they were on a cruise little did she know that her aunt was right and the silver fox next door was smoking hot and she wanted a piece of him. Will the sparks fly and make the grumpy ass next door act younger then he feels. You never know what one look over the fence will do for you.
