https://books2read.com/Genieandtheshadowkings

Nothing ever happens in a genie lamp.

I get my kicks watching the parallel worlds that I am thrown in and out of as I serve my masters. All their wishes are the same. Wealth. Power. Fame. I give it to them and move on because my freedom is never their wish.

These newest three masters are different, and it isn’t because they are half Vampire. They did not mean to rub my bottle and have no desire to collect their wishes. Instead, they want to give them to someone else. Who does that?

They drag me through their world, and for the first time, I am in one place long enough to feel human. A desire for a true life awakens in me, and I can taste my freedom in their touch.

What would it be like to be claimed by three? I will use every trick I know to find out.

Book Review, NIGHTSHATTER: A Werewolf Thriller (Nightshifter Book 2 of 5) by L.E. Horn

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0871LB5PR/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_dp

Five Stars! A great second book in the series.

This book continues from where book one left off. Liam must find a cure for the wulfan virus that is causing madness. He is infected and doesn't have much time before he goes mad. With his mate's support, he grows strong. Lots of action, suspense, humor, male bonding, and a touch of romance kept me turning the pages. I really like the author's style, too. This is more of a realistic werewolf series rather than a supernatural one, and the rich detail of the transformations was fascinating. Perhaps werewolves are real after all.

An erotic retelling of Avalon and King Arthur. White Rose of Avalon #MFRWsteam

 Welcome to another week of steamy excerpts. Enjoy!

Destiny cannot be altered.

With Britannia falling to the Saxon hordes, Morgaine, Queen of the Faeries, has no choice but to make a pact with the Christian monks. She promises to give them a High King who will unite the Britons against the Saxons if he takes a queen from the faery realm. Morgaine hopes this will restore the Goddess faith and return Avalon to its rightful place. She sends Lancelot to guard the future High King, but when a love potion falls into the wrong hands, all seems lost.

Gwenhwyfar is the only hope for the future, but betrayal, revenge, and forbidden love surround her, all of which could send both Britannia and Avalon into ruins.

"A friend of mine passed this sweet, eruptive book on to me. This is so colourful! The old characters are all there, but they are incredibly alive, and there are lots of new twists on this classic (desire stirs throughout a lot of the scenes.) Kelley Heckart's writing makes me wish for a
fireplace and a harp in the background." Written by Tina-Sue Ducross

R-rated Excerpt:

He slid into her from behind like a stallion mounting a mare, thrusting in and out, grabbing on to her hips with both hands. Morgaine reached between her legs and stroked herself. Her juices slid beneath her fingers, laving her bud. Pleasure tingled in her groin, soaring as if borne on wings.

Lancelot’s thrusts grew faster and harder. She moved her pelvis in sync with his wild thrusts and flapped her wings. Morgaine’s body jerked with her climax as Lancelot came in a thunderous roar.

“Ahhh, yes!” He grabbed her hips, pushing himself in as far as he could go.

Sated and relaxed, she pressed her wings flat against her back.

They lay spent on the soft grass, facing each other.

Lancelot brushed her hair back from her face and traced the blue crescent tattooed on her brow. “No other can please me as you can.”

Love shimmered in his dark amber eyes, but she knew he would not stay with her for long. There was a restlessness inside him that could not be tamed. Lancelot was half-faery, but his human side had a stronger pull on him. Restlessness ruled his heart.

Awakening the Vampire, an erotic vampire romance #MFRWSteam Blog Hop

Welcome to the MFRW Steam Blog Hop. Enjoy all the steamy excerpts from various erotic authors.

R-rated

He pulled away and started undressing me, pulling my T-shirt over my head and then he worked on my pants, sliding them down my hips. I bent and slipped my sneakers, socks, and jeans off, tossing them to the side. I stood before him in my matching red lacy bra and panties. Pure desire and affection softened the light in his eyes to a calm sea with faint, yellow glints of sunlight.

He sat on the edge of the bed and hauled me facedown across his lap. “I think a spanking is in order. One for each time you called me Grandpa, Harry Potter, or Giles.”

I tingled in anticipation for both the pain and the pleasure. Merrick slid my panties down to expose my bare butt, and then he smacked my naked skin with his open palm, the sharp sting of the slap sending pleasurable shivers to my swollen nub. My excitement rose, quickening my pulse, and I let out a breathy moan as he struck me again.

With each of the seven spanks, my clit rubbed against his leather-clad crotch and his erection. That urgent ache for release built inside, and I writhed against his rock-hard penis.

She never expected to find love or a way back, Awakening, Contemporary, paranormal romance, ghost mystery #MFRWsteam

 

Blurb:

Supernatural meets Rock Star in this exciting new series. More than passion ignites when Kate, rock star/scriptwriter, is trapped in a haunted cabin with the hot Scottish actor playing her hero.

Review:

"Heckart gives fans a contemporary mystery/romance swathed in ethereal veils of secrets, lies, movie scripts, guitar solos, runes, second sight, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and spectral beings. The reader doesn't know where Awakening is guiding them, but the journey is definitely first-class."

Sexy Excerpt:

Kane came up behind me, helped me remove my shirt, and then slid my sweatpants down over my hips. His growing erection pressed into my backside.

      “Nice ink,” he murmured and kissed the half-sleeve scene on my right arm of a wolf head with bright yellow eyes framed by a crescent moon peeking through bare-branched trees and a Celtic knot pattern. Kane brushed his lips over the back of my shoulder, his tongue tracing the feathery-winged faery woman. “And what’s this? A belly ring.”

He stroked around my navel, eliciting pleasant shivers in me, and then tugged on my underwear. I took a deep, shuddering breath and exhaled. Here we go.

His eyes alight with desire, he clasped my hand, helped me into the tub, and climbed in facing me. A thick layer of bubbles floated on top of the water. I tensed and crossed my arms over my naked breasts.

“Relax,” he whispered in a rough voice.

Candlelight flickered over his features, an affectionate light glimmering in his eyes. He stroked my arms, coaxing me to open them. His gentle caresses plus the soothing hot water loosened my muscles and my inhibitions, and I relented. You can do this. When will you ever have another chance to have sex with a hot movie star?

“Sorry I didn’t have time for a Brazilian wax.” I waxed my legs but drew a line at my bikini area.

He slipped his hand down between my legs. “Don’t like them. This is much better.”

His caress elicited a tremor. “It’s a wider landing strip,” I murmured.

“And a very fine one it is.” His finger glided over my clit.

I shuddered, my sex quivering. “You must be used to bald eagles.”

       He let out a low chuckle and covered my mouth with his, slipping his finger inside me and sliding his thumb over my clit with skill and confidence. Bursts of pleasure shot though me. This was a man who knew what he wanted and took it.

Book review: Magnar (The Wolves of Clan Sutherland Book 1) by Mary Morgan

Amazon buy link: https://www.amazon.com/Magnar-Wolves-Clan-Sutherland-Book-ebook/dp/B08DCDYT4S/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=magnar&qid=1607478998&sr=8-2

An enjoyable mix of history, magic, and steamy romance.

There was a lot I liked about this book. I loved the two main characters. I liked that Magnar wasn't perfect and struggled with his baser side, his wolf. I really liked that Elspeth was strong and wasn't a damsel in distress. From the first page, I was drawn into the story by the author's skillful way of capturing the historical setting. I loved the mix of history and magic, though I wouldn't really call this a shifter story. The wolf shifting was part of the tale, but this was more of a story about growing love between two very different people. I did enjoy the interactions between these two character, especially how she challenged him. The passionate love scenes set this romance on fire. Oh my.

What I wanted to see more of was conflict between the two characters. It seemed a little too easy for Elspeth to accept Magnar's heathen beliefs and fall in love with him after their arranged marriage. I guess I just wanted to see her struggle with this a little more. Other than that, this was a near-perfect read. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could. I look forward to more from this author. Highly recommended!

Excerpt snippet #12 Dec 7

His eyes widened. It wasn’t disbelief I saw in his blue-gray depths. It was acceptance.

I let out a relieved sigh. He didn’t think I was crazy. Still, my head was spinning. Time travel? Maybe I was dreaming.

What do we have here?” a male asked from behind us.

I turned in King Roan’s arms.

Another man, one just as handsome as the king, entered, his eyes lighting up. “Who is this dark-skinned beauty?”

I had to bite my lip to make sure I wasn’t stuck in a dream.

The sharp sting burned my eyes.

Queridos dioses. I wasn’t dreaming.

Excerpt snippet #11 Nov. 30

Since my bandmates and I had gotten different rune tattoos that had mystical powers while on tour in Romania about seven years ago from an old gypsy witch, tattoos we hadn’t chosen, we’d had to fumble our way through our new shared destiny. We’d only recently learned that we were supposed to be trained. I guessed it was my turn to face my destiny, and listening to my gut seemed to be the best way to cope. Right now, my intuition urged me to be honest.

I looked up at him and whispered, “I-I’m from the future.”

Then, I cringed and braced myself for his reaction, which could be harmful for me, though my gut and my tingling Gateway rune told me time travel wasn’t too far out of the realm of belief for these elven-like beings.
