eBook Review: Seven Day Loan by Tiffany Reisz

Seven Day Loan is Tiffany Reisz's first release – and already she has a novel coming out later in the year. Having read this delicious Spice Brief, I can't say I'm surprised. Not one bit.

This naughty tale is about submissive Eleanor. She is trained to do whatever her master commands her. So when he decides to 'lend' her to a friend for a week, she must acquiesce.

The friend in question, Daniel, has been a recluse since his wife's death, and Eleanor's lover thinks spending time with her will help him to come 'back to life', as it were. Daniel also happens to be a Dom, therefore Eleanor's nature should be perfectly compatible with his.

Despite her initial misgivings, Eleanor warms to Daniel physically. However, she's determined that her heart should continue to belong to her mysterious lover. But as she and her temporary Dom spend more time together, Eleanor begins to wonder what life would be like with the enigmatic Daniel. Will she cancel the 'seven day loan' and become Daniel's indefinitely? Only one way to find out…

Seven Day Loan is a spectacular read. The writing is brilliant, the storyline fascinating, the characters deep and the sex dirty. My only complaint was that it ended – I could have happily whiled away many more hours with Daniel and Eleanor. Highly recommended.

eBook Review: Her Fantasy by Saskia Walker

Article first published as eBook Review: Her Fantasy by Saskia Walker on Blogcritics.

Her Fantasy is a short naughty read from Saskia Walker. It tells the tale of Anya Reid, a woman who is finally on a date with the co-worker she's fancied for ages. Things take a turn for the erotic when Warren asks her what her ultimate sexual fantasy is. A little taken aback, Anya's mind and libido whirl out of control and she's unsure how to answer. However, it appears that Warren already knows the answer and is perfectly willing to make it happen. And he does.

As Anya and Warren's erotic games become more risque, Anya has reason to be cautious. She's getting attached and wonders whether Warren wants her for her, or whether he's just in it for the games. She doesn't want it all to come crashing down around her ears, not now she's got Warren where she wants him.

Her Fantasy is another delicious quickie read from Saskia Walker. As per usual, I'm left wanting more – I think these two characters could have a very interesting story to tell! So if you're looking for a guaranteed steamy read, look no further. Saskia delivers the goods!

eBook Review: Black Cat Fever by Desiree Holt

Black Cat Fever is a paranormal short story by Desiree Holt. It was released by Total-E-Bound as part of their special cat shapeshifter series late last year.

It tells the story of panther shifter Dea Russo. As the daughter of the last alpha, she alone holds the power to elect the next head of their pack. Naturally, she's sought after by many men, but she's determined to find her true mate, and he must be a pure panther.

Trouble is, she's got to be very patient, for the only night she can find her mate is Hallowe'en, an event which obviously only comes once a year. She's never even come close before, but Dea is determined that this year is going to be different, and it appears that fate is on her side this year. Kyle Donovan shows up and her body responds to him before they've even spoken. Dea's hopes rise at this reaction and everything seems to be going so well, until obsessive mixed breed outcast Dane Maguire tries to put a stop to their acquiantance and claim Dea as his own.

Will Kyle defend Dea to the death, despite not yet knowing if she's his true mate? Or will he allow her to walk away? Only one way to find out…

Black Cat Fever was a fab read. It was dark, delicious and erotic, and despite some slightly icky moments with animals doing the bad thing, I really enjoyed it. I would actually like to see this story continued – I'd love to see what happens next. If you love you a bit of paranormal, snag yourself this dirty short story pronto.

Book Review: Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger

Article first published as Book Review: Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger on Blogcritics.

Having read the book and watched the film of The Devil Wears Prada, I suspected that I'd be in for a good read with Everyone Worth Knowing. I wasn't wrong. This book is chick lit at its finest.

Everyone Worth Knowing tells the tale of Bette, a headstrong woman living in New York. Despite it never being her life's dream, she works in banking and hates every moment of it. One day, she decides she's had enough and leaves. Having no idea what to do next, circumstances and contacts suck her into another job – party planning.

With no experience, Bette has to learn quickly, at the same time ignoring the resentment her colleagues inevitably feel about her getting the job as a favour. However, she quickly proves herself and is soon planning the hottest and most exclusive parties in New York City.

Bette spends days planning parties and evenings attending them, leaving less and less time for her family and friends, let alone her non-existant love life. Soon, her job is her entire life. So when she's mistakenly linked with a notorious and hot British playboy, she can't understand it. She's even more confused when her boss and colleagues encourage it. Going along with it, deep down Bette knows that she's being used, but is too busy working to take much notice.

But when a vicious gossip columnist called Ellie Insider starts writing untrue and spiteful pieces about her, the harsh reality of her lifestyle hits her. Everyone is out for themselves in the crazy world of fashion and celebrity and if Bette gets sucked in any deeper, she's afraid she'll end up just like them. Then there's the tiny matter of a very real love interest that could be lost if Bette doesn't make some decisions… and fast.

Overall, I thought this was a fab book. It's an easy read and is absorbing enough that you'll whizz through it in no time. It's definitely more action-based than emotional, but I still found myself really liking Bette and rooting for her. If you've read anything else by her, or you enjoy books like Bridget Jones' Diary, Sex and the City, etc, you'll like this.

eBook Review: Yes Ma'am by Kay Jaybee

Article first published as eBook Review: Yes Ma'am by Kay Jaybee on Blogcritics.

Yes Ma'am is the latest offering from the deliciously dirty mind of Kay Jaybee. It contains six tales of arse-spanking, wrist-binding, whip-wielding tales of female domination. Despite the fact they have a common theme and are penned by the same author, each story couldn't be more different.

Lying in Wait tells the story of an army recruit who gets much more than he bargained for on a night exercise.

Black is about a man so obsessed with a dominatrix that he begins to think he's sold his soul to the devil.

Dear Claire has two best friends sharing a man, though not in the way you'd think.

'Don't You, Emma?' takes a typical male fantasy and turns it completely on its head.

Not Taking the Tube means you will never think about Underground travel in quite the same way again.

Finally, Rachel's Twisted Tale adds a considerably more erotic twist to the story of Rapunzel.

Each story in this anthology is brilliantly written, deliciously twisted and very, very erotic. My particular favourite was Dear Claire, a piece so imaginative and sexy that my eyebrows almost disappeared into my hairline while I was reading it.

If you're not into power play and BDSM elements, then this won't be your cup of tea. Otherwise, get a copy of Yes Ma'am into your hot little hands and prepare for some seriously sexy stories that'll blow your mind (and other places). Recommended.

Book Review: Kinky Girls by Miranda Forbes (ed.)

Article first published as Book Review: Kinky Girls, edited by Miranda Forbes on Blogcritics.

With names such as Carmel Lockyer, K D Grace, Justine Elyot and Sommer Marsden nestling between its covers, Kinky Girls promises much. And it certainly does not disappoint.

The theme is evident from the title – the stories in this book are seriously kinky. From spur of the moment prostitution to getting down and dirty with a priest, this book has it all.

As with most anthologies, some stories are better than others. There were a couple I disliked, but the others were so sparkingly brilliant that it more than made up for it. A few were so stand out that I'll still remember them many books and months down the line.

If you enjoy deliciously dark and dirty tales, then you should definitely get your hands on a copy of Kinky Girls. You won't regret it.

Awesome Review of Fang Bangers!

An email popped into my inbox this weekend to tell me that Fang Bangers, an erotic anthology from Ravenous Romance which contains a story of mine, has been reviewed. The reviewer loved it!

Here's what Justine from eBook Addict Reviews had to say:

"WOW.  After I finished reading FANGBANGERS that's all I could say.The majority of the authors really knocked their entries out of the park… no matter where your preference lies in the "fang" universe I can definitely say, if you don't find something to like in this anthology, there is something wrong with you."

Six Sentence Sunday – 24/4/11

Sorry I've been AWOL for the past couple of weeks, everyone! Things have been hectic, to say the least!

I've just been given a release date for my first title from Noble Romance, A Bit of Rough. To celebrate, here are my six sentences to whet your appetite. You'll be able to read the full thing from 9th May…

When I met Andrew ("call me Drew"), I instantly pegged him as a bit of a moron. He had a captive audience of people laughing at the many mishaps in his love life. Despite the fact he was mocking himself, it sounded like he was desperate for people to know just how many women had been in his life, for however brief an interlude. He was one of those guys you love to hate. And yet, I still fancied him rotten. It was totally bizarre.

eBook Review: Mythic by Jae Lynne Davies

Article first published as eBook Review: Mythic by Jae Lynne Davies on Blogcritics.

Before Jae Lynne Davies was scheduled to appear on Erotica For All, she was a completely new-to-me author. Having read Mythic, I would definitely read more from her.

Mythic is an erotic paranormal romance. It's not overly heavy on sex, but when there are sex scenes, damn they're hot!

Gianna Marino is the female protagonist, and she's no ordinary woman. A vampire/human hybrid, she shouldn't really exist and she's spent her entire life trying to hide her true nature. A life that's been fraught with sadness.

When she was just a child, her parents were murdered by the leader of a vampire coven, and she's made it her life's work to find him, infiltrate the coven, and have her revenge. This is the part of Gianna's tale that we're shown. She has successfully infiltrated the coven, and Mattias, the very man she wishes to kill is completely and utterly infatuated with her. Trouble is, despite knowing she should hate him with every part of her being, she's also drawn to him.

When Nicholas, member of another coven, comes to challenge Mattias and settle an old score, things become increasingly complicated for Gianna. She's extremely attracted to both men – and they're mortal enemies. Plus neither of them know her true nature. Complex much?

Overall, I really enjoyed Mythic. It would have benefitted from some tighter editing in places, but the storyline is interesting and solid, and the sex scenes are absolutely scorching hot. I really hope there's going to be a follow-up though, as I felt like I'd been left hanging at the end – what happens next?
