This sexy duo from two bestselling authors will take you into the erotic world of rope bondage, offering a tantalizing glimpse into a range of flavors that are definitely not vanilla!
Hung Up by Roz Lee
I should have told Colton what he could do with his money, but I need it to keep the doors of my dance studio open. So, here I am, naked and bound, with a bull rope around my waist, and despite the intricate suspension system holding me up, I’m falling hard. Falling for the impossible man who threw me for a loop and lassoed my heart. ~ Beth
Review: HUNG UP by Roz Lee is a short erotic story that focuses on the rekindling of a friendship and love match through a photography session working around rope play and bondage. Beth is a former cheerleader and dancer: Colton is a former rodeo cowboy who now earns his living selling custom rope and leather goods to rodeos and the BDSM community. When Colton hears that Beth has fallen on difficult times, he offers the woman, with whom he has been in love since high school, an opportunity to pose for a series of photographs involving rope play and bondage. What ensues is the affirmation and proclamation of endless love between two people who have not see one another in years but have wasted too much time on regret and hope.
HUNG UP is provocative storyline that is emotional, complex, impassioned and breathtaking. There are moments of spontaneous passion and love; an unspoken but physical response between two people who have lost so much and have survived. Roz Lee stole my heart with her intensity; Colton and Beth broke my heart with their love.

Alpha Submissive by Jennifer Lynne
What happens when a driven, alpha woman is forced by circumstance to participate in a shibari rope display? Bound and immobilized by the country’s leading Dominant rope master, Ava fights to keep control. If she does the unthinkable and allows herself to submit to Roane, will she lose the only part of herself that really matters—her heart—to the man who now holds her destiny in his practiced hands?
Contains erotic content and bondage sex scenes suitable for Adult readers only.
Review: ALPHA SUBMISSIVE by Jennifer Lynne is another short erotic storyline focusing on rope play known as Shibari- a Japanese inspired art form of tying rope to immobilize the participant but done beautifully and elegantly. Roane and his bondage partner are the headliners at a BDSM/ Bondage festival but due to unforeseen circumstances Nicole is unavailable leaving Roane minus a partner for the show. Ava is the woman in charge, on behalf of her late brother, and considers herself without a submissive bone in her body. What ensues is a cathartic breakthrough for Ava as she unleashes years of anger and pain at the hands of a rope Master who is looking for something more from Ava than a one night show.
Jennifer Lynne takes the reader on one woman’s emotional journey; a step towards freeing herself from the past; and surrendering to new experiences and a new love. ALPHA SUBMISSIVE is a passionate storyline of Shibari, and Kinbaku-erotic Japanese bonding.

ebook ONLY 99¢: Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO /
ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 19, 2015
Taste the forbidden in a sexy duo by bestselling authors Roz Lee & Jennifer Lynne. These novelette-length stories will take you into the erotic world of the watcher and the watched, offering a tantalizing glimpse into a range of flavors that are definitely not vanilla!
Watch Me by Jennifer Lynne
I was so afraid, when my husband uncovered my secret. Afraid he’d hate me, or think me disgusting, or be completely turned off. Equally scared this watching game I play with our sexy neighbor might be shut down for good. Can William bring himself to join my addictive Sunday night ritual, or will he force me to choose between the man I love, and the sexual urges that consume me? ~ Isabel
Review: WATCH ME by Jennifer Lynne is an erotic, short story told from alternating first person points of view -Isabel and Will. Isabel and Will’s marriage suffered a break down when Will had a one night stand while out of town on business. In the ensuing time Isabel has discovered that her new neighbor, a thirty something man she affectionately calls Dan, is an exhibitionist and Isabel likes to watch. For months, every Sunday night, Isabel watches in the dark, while her husband Will watches in the shadows.
For such a short novelette, WATCH ME reveals plenty of background information and emotional frustration for three people whose lives have intersected through a pane of glass. Isabel and Will find release and acceptance, while ‘Dan’ acknowledges their need to watch. The storyline is provocative, erotic, intense and hot. The majority of the text focuses on the $ex, the nature of the voyeuristic game between Dan and Isabel, and the game between Isabel and Will.

Lookin’ Good by Roz Lee
I wish I had never told Travis my deepest, darkest secret—that I like to watch. I should have known he would want to give me my heart’s desire. I love him more than anything, but I hate him for using my weakness to try to win me back. Moreover, I hate myself for not being able to turn down the gifts he brings me. ~ Bailey Rose
Contains erotic content suitable for Adult readers only.
Review: LOOKIN’ GOOD by Roz Lee is another erotic short story told from first person point of view –Bailey Rose. Bailey Rose is a voyeur and six months earlier she told the love of her life that it turns her on to watch other people have sex. When Travis sets up a ‘gift’ for Bailey, everything inside Bailey dies when she realizes that her need to watch destroyed the relationship with the man that she loves. But Travis is willing to feed Bailey’s needs as he continues to seduce women in order for Bailey to watch.
LOOKIN’ GOOD looks at the fall out of a relationship due to miscommunication and trying too hard. While Travis tries to meet Bailey’s needs, Bailey isn’t prepared for the ‘gift’ that Travis offers. The $ex scenes are limited to oral and digital stimulation. Travis is a man who loves Bailey so much that he is willing to risk everything to give her what she wants.
NOT VANILLA –Voyeurism looks at the fetish of watching other people engaging in sex and sexual situations. Each of our couples has struggled through their desired needs and wants, and in this, there is a definite lesson as it pertains to mutual understanding and trust. The sexual scenes are graphic; the character’s situations somewhat sad, prophetic and predictive. Looking at the forbidden or forbidden to look run a close parallel in the eyes of the Voyeur.
