Trenton Leos knows exactly what he wants Katianna Dumas, now he just has to protect her until she decides to surrender her life over to be His.
As a writer, Katianna hovers at the alluring edge of bringing what she creates with exquisite eroticism into her very concealed life. Her books seduce her readers with stories taking them into extremes of erotic pleasure that have never been her own experience. That is until one night, unbeknownst to herself, she confessed a secret desire she’d kept under lock and key to Trenton Leos, who’s now intent to bring her into his world of Dominance and Submission where he’s not just any Dom, he’s the Dominus. The Master of all Doms.
Life with the Dominus promises to surround her with rich, somatic passions, but it also comes with danger, and she’s not sure she’s strong enough to hang on. Especially when being with Him means submitting her life to Becoming His Slave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is an epic story in just about every way. In scope, in character, and in romance, Becoming His Slave is about as good as it gets. It’s huge at just over 800 pages, but it’s just as huge at heart.
In today’s romance genre, the reader has become willing and able to suspend disbelief in terms of how fast “things” happen. “Insta-love” has unfortunately, come to fit the bill in our stories just as the concept of “insta” has invaded most aspects of our real life. If that’s what you want, you won’t get it here.
What you will get is a Dom, no…THE Dom, “Dominus” Trenton Leos who willingly puts this relationship course on a long, slow simmer, for what he wants from author Katianna is as complete and irrevocable a commitment as one person can give another. As any slave can give a Master.
The resulting journey is as perfect a repast as a reader can order up. Emotions run the gamut, from high to low and back again. Katianna’s course is a winding road that traverses warm and fuzzy to the heartbreak of self-doubt, and from fear of the losing control to the freedom of embracing it in the hands of another.
While Becoming His Slave is a complete and vivid telling of Kat and Trenton’s story, there are surprisingly satisfying concomitant story lines that throw the doors to the lives and ways of The Dominion of Brothers wide open, inviting us into some compelling lives and the anticipation of what the future might hold for the remainder of The Brothers.
This was an extremely satisfying read that never felt long, or lagged in any way. I can only attest to two incidents of yelling at the book; once for Kat and once for Trenton because damn, couldn’t they just get out of their own way and let this thing happen? ! HINT: They listened to me. And it was a good thing. And worthy of all the chocolate I had to consume while getting them there…

There is a world…
Hidden beneath us…
Where Once Upon a Time…
Becomes corrupted with excess and control…
And when Kayden Daniels is thrown from being a New York City millionaire
Into the world of Wonderland…
His destiny of becoming The Mad Hatter will begin…
In the first installment of The Back Road to Wonderland… Finding himself in a strange world, Kayden begins his exploration of Wonderland and his journey to becoming The Mad Hatter. Infatuated with the devilishly handsome King of Hearts, our sex crazed hero decides nothing will stand in his way when it comes to pursuing the luscious closeted King.
The Queen of Hearts always gets what she wants or it’s off to the gallows and right now, she wants Kayden. However, when she begins to question if the stranger is who he says he is; she decides to employ other tactics.
The King of Hearts has always had desires for men, but afraid to act upon them. That is until he meets Kayden. Will Kayden be the first to break down his fears and his closet door? Can Kayden escape the Queens clutches and desires long enough to achieve his goal and his seduction of a King?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’ve never taken the trip down the rabbit hole, until now. So there won’t be any comparisons between Kayden and Alice’s trip into Wonderland. I’m glad I waited because I’m sure Alice didn’t have the same journey Kayden did.
Seduction of a King is a dark lust filled tale of the quest for power and love. Wonderland is a place of balance between light and dark, good and evil. Or as The King of Hearts said “You’ll find Wonderland is made up of beautiful things and offers many pleasures, but remember all things have a balance.”
In the first book of this series we get introduced to the characters and get a feel for Wonderland. Kayden also lovingly known as the Hatter, is the one everyone is talking about. It seems one minute he was at his construction site, the next there was a blue light and he was falling onto the forest floor. Then life got a bit interesting starting with meeting the Queen and King of hearts. Queen Verde is one he needs to keep an eye on as she hints as to what she may want from him. James, the King, on the other hand his flirtations are one of the reasons Kayden thinks about hanging around for a while.
James the King of Hearts has been paired to rule the Hearts District and oversee the other five districts of Wonderland with Queen Verde. Although paired the Queen and King have an understanding, consorts are allowed as long as they are kept out of the public eye. They do have to keep up appearances. Unfortunately some things are easier said than done and with what happen to his last lover, well….. When his feelings for Kayden become more possessive and obvious he does something he soon regrets.
There is a storm coming and not just between The King and the Hatter. The Wonderland is under attack but where these attacks are coming from is any ones guess. The outer districts have had their occupants killed in a gruesome manner. Not the usual “off with their head” But the King has a plan and Marcus his step son is doing what he can to help him get what he needs to win the coming battle. Oh and Marcus, the little rabbit, adds a whole different twist to this story.
The story is very good. You may have a little trouble with the time line until you realize this story is told in more than one characters point of view. There are also a couple times where there are a lot of characters introduced at one time. This can make it a bit hard to keep them straight. Neither of these things will prevent me from getting the next part of this story set to release this Spring 2014. Enjoy the wild ride David Metheny has penned for you.

GENRE: BDSM / Erotic Romance

Reviewed by Terry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
***Warning: This book contains sensual BDSM, a hot as hell Alpha male bent
on getting his woman, and a Domme who may have just met her match.***
Ryan will never forget that fateful night when he kissed his high school crush, Emma, and lost his heart to her forever. Six years later Ryan finds Emma again, but she’s a different woman than the bossy and joyful girl he used to know. She’s is now a professional Dominatrix and she makes her living by dominating a very select clientele of submissives at the Kiss of Blue dungeon.
When Emma graduated from college with her teaching degree three years ago she had no idea how hard it would be to find work as a teacher at a decent school. To make matters worse, her elderly parents both lost their jobs and their pensions in one fell swoop. Out of options, Emma had no choice but to turn her passion into her profession and go pro-Domme. She enjoys her work and her clients, but cannot allow herself to fall in love. Monogamous by nature, she knows that if her heart belongs to a man she’ll no longer be able to work at the dungeon and without a good paying job her parents will soon be homeless. When Ryan appears in her life she finds herself tempted by the one thing she cannot have- the man of her dreams.
Ryan will do anything to make Emma see that he belongs in her life, including being everything that she ever wanted in a submissive, but when he begins their relationship with a lie he may never win another night with his reluctant Dominatrix.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BDSM is all the rage now since that book was released. Women are swooning at the powerful handsome Doms that our favorite authors are giving us. We all want to feel treasured and owned like the beautiful submissive women in the stories. Even the “vanilla” are tantalized by these stories. Now vanilla isn’t bad at all but the fascination with BDSM is that it comes in many flavors and different toppings. So when you see that handsome, powerful and drool worthy man he just might be the one on his knees worshiping a strong, confident, beautiful woman.
First Kiss, is the first book in Ann Mayburn’s series Emma’s Arabian Nights.
Emma is a pro Domme at Kiss of Blue where she works for her best friend Moira. When Moira calls Emma in early for a meeting and the promise of coffee and croissants from her favorite bakery she knows something is up. We all have a friend like Moira. You know that friend who not only can make any crazy idea sound like the adventure of a life time but get you to join her in it. She has an offer for Emma. One that will make it easier to help her parents with their financial problems and get her some extra cash to go back to school. The only problem is this offer would include Emma breaking one of her rules. Never see a client outside of the dungeon at Kiss of Blue.
Moira’s description of a man who is into worship and wants to treat her like a queen. Built, muscular you know those bad ass boys that you have to fight to tame. A high power submissive not someone who will just roll over and surrender immediately. This had Emma considering this offer because she does love a challenge. She does want to talk to him before she makes a decision. Thank you Skype!
Hello Ryan! One look at this mystery man with pale amber eyes and Emma is thinking she may consider breaking a few of her rules. As they are talking Ryan proves to be everything Moira said he was and more. So why not just have a couple sessions here at Kiss of Blue, see where things go? So even though Emma keeps having deja vu moments making her feel like she is missing something, she agrees to meet him in the dungeon at Kiss of Blue.
Who needs the Myth Busters when we have Ann Mayburn to dispel the myths of Dommes being cold, heartless women and the male submissive being weak. She has given us a confident woman who knows what she wants, likes and enjoys taking it. As well as a strong successful man who has the desire to not only please a woman but also submit to her desires. You’re going to love the byplay between Emma and Moira. You might even have a wish for a little deja vu of your own when you find out Ryan’s secret.
Second Touch, book two of this series is already out. Book three is the works as well.

Savannah Dupree is a freshman studying at Boston University on a full scholarship. But academic excellence is only one of her gifts. Savannah possesses something even more remarkable than her quick mind and insatiable curiosity for learning. With a simple touch, she can see an object’s past–a skill that puts her life in danger, when her studies bring her into contact with a centuries-old English sword and the terrible secret hidden within the blade’s history.
In all his three hundred years of living as one of the Breed, vampire warrior Gideon never dreamed he’d see the blade again that spilled his young brothers’ lives ages ago in London. Ever since the boys’ deaths, Gideon’s been on a personal quest to rid the world of Rogue vampires, but now he can’t help wondering if the brutal slaying was something more sinister–an act perpetrated by an unknown enemy. An enemy who is apparently living in hiding somewhere in Boston. There’s one certain way to prove Gideon’s suspicion, but it will mean using innocent, gifted Savannah to help uncover the full truth–a truth that will shatter everything she knows about herself and the world around her. And with danger closing in from all sides, the passion that ignites between Gideon and Savannah will tempt them to risk their hearts and lives for a love that might just last an eternity….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
”A Touch” is an apt description for this foray into the relationship of Gideon and Savannah. Throughout this wonderful series, the reader always felt the deep connection these two had, maybe by virtue of them having been “Control Central”. They were an anchor; infrastructure if you will. For that reason, I was looking forward to solidifying them in my mind’s eye.
Instead, I feel as though I got that “Touch”, but it was often more ethereal than tangible. Not necessarily a bad thing, for prolonging the mystery can be a great tactic for a series. It’s just not what I expected. In fact, in one brief scene, I felt more insight into Tegan than I felt about Savannah and Gideon from the entire novella. And Tegan being one of my favourites, I was choked up about that. (Nice touch, Ms. Adrian!)
If I think about it more in depth, what I take away is a more superficial look at Gideon, the entity, without really seeing any more of the essence of the/his character. I feel as though I see him differently in form, but I don’t see INTO him much differently…if that makes sense. As for Savannah, there are moments invoking a somewhat impersonal, police blotter account of how she came to be central to the cause, in place of the usual deeply emotional evolutions I’m used to reading about in the series. Another of my many gripes about novellas, but that’s a whole other topic…
Still in all, a much appreciated fill-in-some-blanks from this talented author, for what is truly amazing series.

TALON’S MAD MAD PEACOCKING ON THE FENCE GUEST SPOTLIGHT – STARRING: AUTHOR LISA BETH DARLING
I’m 47 years-old and I’ve been married to wonderful and talented husband, Roy, for the last 27 years. Together we’ve raised two beautiful daughters to adulthood right here in my hometown of New London, CT.
Through my full-length novels and series I strive to bring conflict, passion, love, and suspense to unique couples–how about a Greek God and a Fey, a retiring military man and an aging widowed hippie, a famous writer/director and a lonely hitch-hiker, or a b-grade actor and a very lucky first-time author? Since I’m never one to shy away from the less pleasant things in life, indeed I believe that it is in the Darkness where Character is created, determined, and defined, my heroes and heroines have their love tested by demons from within and without.
ALL of my works are intended for a Mature Audience Only this includes most of my non-fiction books. They are intended for those who like their reading on the dark and gritty side. They are not intended for the faint of heart or those who enjoy a sweet read.

Retired military colonel Caleb Edgington has spent two long years trying to achieve the most important mission objective of his life—but not behind enemy lines. He’s trying to capture a woman with a broken heart. Having lost at love once, he understands being gun shy. The residual fears from Carlotta Buckley’s nasty divorce have stood between them, but he’s done with that. And he’s got the perfect strategy to lure her in…
Carlotta never thought she’d fall in love again. Once bitten, she’s now more than twice shy. And Caleb is everything she can’t handle—fierce, relentless, uncompromising…sexual. She’s managed to mostly avoid him, but now his son and her daughter need their help. Can Caleb and the spirit of the season convince her that she’s ready to take a chance on love again?
`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
YES!! Finally someone shows us mom and dad aren’t just around to give the kids sage advice and dinner. Now don’t freak out this isn’t a book about rickety old people with whips, chains and walkers. LOL Retired Colonel Caleb Edgington is right there with Mark Harmons – Special Agent Jethro Gibbs and Sean Connerys – James Bond. Carlotta is right up there with Sigourney Weaver giving Angelina Jolie a run for her money.
Both Caleb and Carlotta had the pleasure of falling in love having the house and kids. Then you guessed it Life happened and they lost their loves and learned a few things about themselves. As where Caleb decided to raise his kids and stay single Carlotta gave love another chance. Gordon was a good man who loved her and cared for her children. So she thought. Gordon turned out to be the kind of guy who keeps us girls single.
Carlottas daughter Kata with the help of Calebs son Hunter get Carlotta out of that horrible situation. That is when Carlotta meets Caleb. Carlotta reluctantly accepts his help in getting her health back. I say reluctantly because Carlotta sees that Caleb is also very dominate and she doesn’t see the difference between him and the jerk she just left.
With the kids and Calebs help Carlotta is back on her feet and living life again. As it turns out Caleb also learned and realizes a few things along the way. This is where the story really begins. Does wisdom come with age and experience? And more importantly – Is passion and love just for the young?

Only finding out the truth just may surprise him with an element of chill to add to their already smoldering one.
`
`
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I begin my review surprised, pleasantly so, that this novella is a first effort. Not generally being a fan of the commonly underdeveloped plot and characters of the novella, I am even more impressed that this first effort pretty much nails all the elements of what a good one should be.
From a purely clinical analysis, this work begins, proceeds and ends with a clear course of events. Timeline changes are well evident and do not detract from the flow of the story, in fact they enhance the read, providing background detail without being ponderous narrative. The flow makes sense. The characters make sense, and the world is immediately evident; you are there as a fly on the wall…or the ice as the case may be…
As far as “the read” itself, my connection to the characters was immediate and they were likeable. That’s my first litmus test. I wanted to invest in their story because they appealed to me as “people”, and because of the way the supernatural element at once snuck up on you, and fit seamlessly. Though the fae world tends to be my last ‘go-to’ in the paranormal realm because its complexity tends to be too much for my patience and more often than not detracts from my enjoyment, I felt none of my usual confusion and frustration.
And finally, at the end of the day, a story for me is always all about the love story and the commitment, and this one is touching and true in the extreme.
If this is a first effort, I am beyond amazed at the level of concept to delivery; of both character and world development, of almost tangible heart and soul, and that all of it took place in the almost impossible Art known as the novella. I usually end a novella review, even a good novella, with “I wish there had been more”. While that may also be true with Danny’s Dom, it in no way left me feeling that there needed to be more. It was a completely satisfying read.
And if I may, a final short note to Mr. Hasse: legacy firmly established. Kudos…
