ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 30, 2024

Joshua Barnes-Fleetwood is the prince of Willow Fork, Texas, but not all is right with his world. He’s the heir to a multimillion-dollar company, has a family he adores, and his best friend at his side. He can’t figure out what is missing until Nicole takes a job at Christa’s Café. The pretty waitress is a mystery he needs to solve. He’s never been so attracted to a woman, and after one night in her company, he’s sure she can handle his needs. Unfortunately, he’s also sure she’s lying to him.

Jared “Grim” Burch found a home with the Barnes-Fleetwood family when he desperately needed one. With support from his newfound family, Grim beat all the odds and became a veterinarian. In Willow Fork, however, there are still people who are suspicious of him and his past. When he sees Nicole, he knows she’s the perfect woman for him and Josh, but he wonders if he has the right to bring her into his sometimes dangerous circle.

For Nicole Mason, Willow Fork is nothing more than a pit stop. Once she can save up the money to fix her car, she’ll do what she’s been doing for the last several years. Run. Framed for her husband’s murder, she can never stop looking over her shoulder. There’s always someone on her trail, and she can’t let them bring her back to the real killer. Getting to know Josh and Grim makes her dream of the life they could have together. If only she could trust them with her secrets.

When their past catches up to them all, they’ll find out that even a small town can be big trouble.

REVIEW: THE ACCIDENTAL SIREN is the first instalment in Lexi Blake’s contemporary, adult TEXAS SIRENS: LEGACY erotic, MFM, BDSM series-a next generation spin off from the author’s TEXAS SIRENS series. This is rancher Joshua Barnes-Fleetwood, veterinarian Jared ‘Grim’ Burch, and Nicole Mason’s story line. Several characters cross over from Lexi Blake’s interconnected series including Texas Sirens, Lawless Series, and the numerous Masters and Mercenaries series and spinoffs. Josh is the son of Jack, Sam and Abby (Small Town Siren 1); Grim is their ‘foster’ son.

Told from three omniscient third person perspectives (Joshua, Grim and Nicole) THE ACCIDENTAL SIREN focuses on the building romance and relationship between rancher Joshua Barnes-Fleetwood, veterinarian Jared ‘Grim’ Burch, and Nicole Mason’ . Nicole Mason is on the run, and working at the local café, she has caught the eye of ‘brothers’ Joshua and Grim but Nicole is only in town for a few weeks, and getting involved with Joshua and Grim means setting down roots when she is unlikely to stay but Nicole’s past refuses to let go, and Grim’s biological family is determined to destroy the town of Willow Fork, Texas. What ensues is the building relationship between Joshua, Grim and Nicole, and the potential fall-out as Nicole’s past goes hunting for our story line heroine.

The world building brings together several characters from the author’s numerous interconnected series including Kim aka Solo (M&M: The Forgotten) as a private investigator seeking out our story line heroine. The reader is up close and personal with some of Jared ‘Grim’ Burch’s past-how he became a much loved part of the Barnes-Fleetwood family, and of Nicole’s past, a young woman whose abusive ex’s family was taking aim at our story line heroine.

The relationship between Nicole, Joshua and Grim is one of immediate attraction but Nicole’s time in Willow Fork Texas comes with an expiry date, and our heroine is determined to keep moving until she can no longer be found.Joshua and Grim are hoping to claim Nicole as their own but jealousy threatens the threesome, especially when Joshua may have overstepped in his need to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and familiar secondary and supporting characters, most of whom has been previously introduced in the author’s interconnected series including Kim ‘Solo’ Solomon, and Jack, Sam and Abby Barnes-Fleetwood. The requisite evil has many faces.

THE ACCIDENTAL SIREN is a story of secrets and lies, power and control, betrayal and vengeance, murder and obsession, family and relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic, intense and captivating; the romance is seductive and provocative; the characters are determined and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 24, 2023

A super steamy standalone rated F for filthy…

“If you came here to get mauled, Ella…I’m very willing to bite.”

The night of my birthday looked as boring as the rest of my life. Sitting on my own, trying to avoid my insanely gorgeous but horribly mean flatmate, all while waiting for him to leave so I could have a party for one…if you know what I mean.

But that was before I almost crashed on the way home when a big top rolled into town. Before I locked eyes with the hottest guy I’d ever seen swinging a sledgehammer in the rain. Before I read the flyer promoting the newly erected circus. A circus that wasn’t the usual garish carnival…oh, no…this one was most definitely not for children.

Not unless you counted bondage, fantasies, and one dirty night full of heinously deviant fun.

Only problem was…my flatmate decided to get his freak on too. He saw me as I agreed to spend the night with the owner of said depraved circus…and he made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.

Both.
Together.

I get to be owned by two men, not just one.
I get to live out my wildest fantasies and teach Nicholas Davis a lesson for all those stony scowls and disdainful glances he’s given me.

He can have me for one night.
He can make me crawl, beg, and take me in any way he chooses.
But he has to share.
That is his penance.
And I mean to make him suffer…

Tropes: HIGH, HIGH spice. (We’re talking volcano heat). Standalone. Dirty. Kinky. BDSM. HEA. MFM one scene. MF romance after. Longing. Kink. Master/Sub. Punishments. Praise. Toys. Fall Hard. Dirty Men. Dirty Talk. Dirty Deeds. Forced proximity. Enemies to Lovers. Explosive Chemistry. Quiet on the Outside absolutely Depraved on the Inside. And rated F for Filthy, Filthy…

REVIEW: ONE DIRTY NIGHT by Pepper Winters is a stand alone, contemporary,adult story of erotica focusing on microbiologists Ella Fitzgerald, Nick Davis, and erotic circus owner Hunter Dixon.

NOTE: ONE DIRTY NIGHT contains scenes of BDSM and MFM sexual situations that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.

Told from first person perspective (Ella) ONE DIRTY NIGHT follows microbiologist Ella Fitzgerald as she struggles with a direction in her personal life. Her roommate and fellow microbiologist Nick Davis looks at our heroine as though she is the bane of his existence, and Ella is desperate to find something more. The arrival of an all-adult circus ‘Spectacle of Secrets’ pushes Ella to investigate the other side of life, where she will come face to face with her roommate Nick Davis, and the circus owner Hunter Dixon. One night together with no sexual inhibitions leaves Ella wanting more from the man she has always loved. What ensues is one night of sexual pleasure between Ella, Nick and Hunter, and the fall-out when Nick announces he doesn’t want anything more.

ONE DIRTY NIGHT is a highly sexual story of indulgence and provocative fantasies. Ella is hoping to spread her proverbial wings but finds herself head over heals for a man who doesn’t want the same thing. Unable to accept the rejection, Ella sets off on her own, only to discover that jealousy if a great motivator when someone else is interested in what you have to offer. The premise is edgy, sensual and provocative; the characters are desperate, determined, lively and flawed.

THEIRS EVER AFTER (The Thalanian Dynasty #3) by Katee Robert-Review, Excerpt & Giveaway Tour

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / B&N / KOBO / Chapters Indigo /

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date December 3, 2018

Sometimes happily ever after isn’t all it’s cracked up to be…

Theo Fitzcharles thought he’d put the worst behind him when he became King of Thalania and named his two lovers, Meg Sanders and Galen Mikos, as his Consorts. Unfortunately, the realities of running a country have worn on all of them, individually and as a triad. Theo has every intention of making things right, but first he has to deal with an old enemy who’s closer than anyone could have dreamed.

Meg Sanders never wanted to be a princess. Now that she’s one of two Consorts to the King of Thalania, she knows why—it’s hard work. Every time she turns around, she’s misstepping and fighting not to screw up the careful political maneuvering required for her new position. But her struggles with the new position are the least of her worries she’s attacked in the palace.

Theo, Galen, and Meg must race to identify her attacker and neutralize them before they can make another attempt to hurt her. There’s plenty of people who want Meg out of the palace—and at least one isn’t picky about whether she’s breathing or not when she goes

•••••••••••••

REVIEW: THEIRS EVER AFTER is the third instalment in Katee Robert’s contemporary, adult THE THALANIAN DYNASTY, erotic, MMF romance series focusing on twenty-three year old American and former bar waitress Meg Sanders, bodyguard and protector Galen Mikos, and former crown prince of Thalania Theo Fitzcharles III. THEIRS EVER AFTER should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up six months after the events of book two-Forever Theirs.

NOTE: THEIRS EVER AFTER and the Thalanian Dynasty series contain graphic ménage scenarios of M/M, MMF, MFM sexual situations that may not be suitable for all readers.

Told from several third person perspectives THEIRS EVER AFTER focuses on the struggling relationship between twenty-three year old, former bar waitress / university student Meg Sanders, bodyguard and protector Galen Mikos, and former crown prince of Thalania Theo Fitzcharles III. Upon the death of his father, the once exiled crown prince of Thalania, Theo Fitzcharles III returns to his home country to ascend to the throne but Theo turns the kingdom upside down by naming his body guard and best friend Galen Mikos, and the woman they love Meg Sanders, as dual consorts. Not everyone is happy with Theo’s return or the idea of an American living in the palace, and steps are taken to destroy their love, and break the relationship between them. What ensues is the building but struggling relationship between Theo, Galen and Meg, and the potential fall-out as Meg is targeted on more than one occasion, as Theo and Galen set a plan into motion to take down the guilty party.

Meg and Galen struggle with their newly designated position as consorts to the king. Galen, the once vibrant head of security battles his need to protect the man that he loves; and Meg needs something more than mundane life of drinking tea and scheduling meetings. Theo, oblivious to his consorts’ emotional fall-out endeavors to pull the noble Families together, Families that would rather see someone else ascend to the throne.

The relationship between Theo, Galen and Meg is passionate and sexual but struggles in the face of Theo’s current schedule, and his overwhelming battle to keep peace at home. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense with MM, MMF, MFM, and FM sexual situations.

We are reintroduced to Theo’s sister Princess Camilla (aka Cami); Theo’s new head of security Isaac Kozlov; Meg’s new assistant Alys; and Noemi Huxley, a member of the noble Huxley family. The requisite evil has many faces. Noemi and Isaac’s story is next in THEIR SECOND CHANCE.

The world building continues to look at Theo’s struggle for a smooth ascension to the Thalanian throne. An American as consort does nothing to win Theo’s approval from the reigning noble Families, as Galen must face his past when threats to the people he loves become personal and deadly.

THEIRS EVER AFTER is a story of betrayal and lies; secrets and sins; power and struggle; romance and love. The premise is engaging, intriguing and spicy; the characters are dynamic, spirited and colorful; the romance is provocative and intimate. THEIRS EVER AFTER is an impassioned look at a new hope for the future of Thalania.

Meg knew what she should do. She should tell Theo that the best way to take care of her and Galen was to talk to them. But with the candlelight playing across Theo’s skin and his skillful hands working at the knots in her shoulders, she couldn’t work up the energy to fight with him. “I’m not happy with you.”
“I know.” He dug into a particularly tight knot, working it with his thumb. “What do you need from me tonight, princess?”
She let her eyes close, let him keep working his magic on her body. Six months into their relationship, and Meg knew that Theo would give her anything she asked for. If she wanted him and Galen to dress up like Vikings and roleplay one of her favorite scenes in a romance novel she was reading, he’d do it without question. He had done it without question last month. Theo might be fucking up on communication and overworked to the point where she barely saw him, but she never doubted for a second that he loved her and wanted her happy.
She slipped beneath the surface of the water. Free of his touch, clarity didn’t suddenly strike her like lightning. If there was an answer, she didn’t have it. Meg slowly stood and let herself drink in the way Theo watched her. As if she was some kind of Aphrodite rising out of the ocean instead of standing here in their tub. “I just want you tonight, Theo. None of the bullshit. Just you.”
He nodded and grabbed one of the ridiculously large towels they kept stocked in here. “Let me take care of you tonight,” he repeated.
Easy enough to read in between the lines of what he wanted. A reprieve in a long line of reprieves. Theo was trying to hold off the inevitable conversation all three of them had to have until he could iron out the mess Thalania had become in his absence. Or maybe the backbiting politics and squabbling seven Families had always been like this. Either way, Theo wanted time to get it handled.
She just wished he’d lean on her and Galen a little bit in the meantime.
Meg stepped out of the tub and let him wrap her in the towel. “Like I’m going to say no.”
Theo dried her gently, thoroughly, making quick work of it. He had a face built for candlelight, all sharp angles and a beauty that was damn near painful to witness. The passing time should have inoculated her to the sight of him, but then he would turn just so or look at her with those big blue eyes, and she’d forget to breathe.
“You could.”
She blinked. “What?”
“You could say no.”
Meg laughed. She couldn’t help it. “Theo, have you looked in the mirror lately?”
He glanced over, and she followed his gaze to the large mirror situated on the other side of the bath. They painted quite the picture, him large and towering over her, his shock of near-black hair several shades darker than hers, his big hands holding the towel against her skin. For once, he wasn’t wearing his usual clothing of suits that cost enough to give Meg hives. In the workout shorts, he looked… Not normal. Theo would never be anything as mundane as normal.
He looked touchable.
So that was exactly what she did. Meg ran her hands up his stomach to his chest and stepped to him. “I know I could say no. I’ve said no to you more times than I can count since we’ve met.” She cupped his strong jaw with her palm. “Theo, are you okay?”
“No.” He pulled her slowly, inexorably closer, until her breasts pressed against his bare chest. “Just… Let me take care of you tonight, princess.”
The rare vulnerability he let her see in that moment seduced her as thoroughly as his body ever had. She nodded. “Yes.”
Theo swept her off her feet and carried her out of the bathroom. Normally, she’d give him shit for such a caveman move, but Meg didn’t want to poke at him tonight. She was tired and heartsore, and both her men were obviously feeling the same. They couldn’t fix the mess waiting for them outside those doors, but they could strengthen their foundations tonight.
She just hoped it would be enough.
Galen waited for them on the bed, clothed in only his skin. Her heart skipped a beat. As much as Theo’s beauty seduced her, Galen’s raw sex appeal knocked her right in the stomach. His dusky skin was crisscrossed with lighter scars, a testament to the abuse his father had leveled at him as a child. His dark hair had grown longer, losing the military-like cut. She liked it. There was a lot to like about Galen.
He watched Theo carry her toward him with a predatory look that sent a bolt of desire through her. Only good things came from Galen getting that expression on his face.
Theo set her on the bed just out of reach and pressed a hand to her shoulder. “Don’t move.” He was only gone a moment, disappearing back into the bathroom and reappearing with a hairbrush. He took up a position against the headboard and urged her to sit between his legs with her back to him.
Theo began carefully combing her wet hair.
Meg closed her eyes and let the gentle tug of the brush soothe her. The fluffy towel and Theo’s proximity kept her cozy, but Galen’s attention pricked along her skin, a promise of things to come. On and on it went. Theo was never one to do things halfway, but he seemed to enjoy the slow slide of the brush through her drying hair as much as she did.
Finally, he set the brush aside and eased her back against his chest. Her hair was almost dry at this point, but Theo moved its soft weight off her neck and pressed a kiss to her throat. He pulled the towel away from her body and tossed it off the bed, leaving them skin to skin. It felt good to be wrapped up in him like this. Even better than his combing her hair.
The mattress dipped and Meg opened her eyes to find Galen had moved to a point just past their feet for a better view. He arched a dark eyebrow at her, but something soft and intimate marred the arrogance of the expression. He needed this reaffirming as much as she did.
For once, no one colored the air around them with filthy words and dirty talk. Theo stroked his hands over her body, the rough slide of his palms across her skin sending her nerves sparking in response. She writhed a little, but he wouldn’t be guided. He paid equal attention to her arms, her shoulders, her stomach and her hips, avoiding her breasts and pussy.
The damn tease.
Finally, a small eternity later, he cupped her breasts, giving them the same slow exploration delivered to the rest of her body. Meg couldn’t stop herself from arching up to press herself more firmly into his hands.
“Impatient,” he murmured against her skin.
“Can you blame her?” Galen’s rough tone made Meg shiver. He reached down and palmed his own cock. “She’s shaking with need.”
Meg grabbed Theo’s hand. She spread her legs wide, hooking them on either side of Theo’s, making sure to give Galen a good show. “Take care of me, baby.” She pressed his hand to her pussy. “You promised.”
“I did, didn’t I?” Theo cupped her there roughly, possessively, the touch lighting a spark beneath Meg’s skin. He pushed a single finger into her, still teasing, not offering nearly enough of what she craved. His voice curled around her, just as intimate as their current position. “I’m feeling generous tonight, princess, so I’ll let you choose how we give it to you.

REVIEW: WICKED ENVY is the third installment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult THE WICKED HORSE VEGAS erotic, romance series-a spin off from the author’s The Wicked Horse Series. This is millionaire biotech entrepreneur Dane Hawthorne, COO Avril Carrigan, and business partner Andrew Collings story line. WICKED ENVY can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: WICKED ENVY is an erotic romance story line and thusly contains sexually graphic scenes including oral, anal, MFM sexual situations and implied use of some mechanical apparatus.

Told from three first person perspectives (Dane, Avril, Andrew) WICKED ENVY is a friends to lovers story line that follows three friends from college to seventeen years laters wherein Caterva BioTech Industries is home to our story line trio. Geniuses in their own right, Andrew and Avril would find themselves partnered with their best friend Dane Hawthorne as they set out to rule the BioTech world but success in the business world does not necessarily equate to success in other aspects of their lives. At Dane’s recommendations Andrew reluctantly, and Avril excitedly visit the Las Vegas Sex Club known at The Wicked Horse where all three will discover that business friendships do not always overlap clearly with their sexual lives. What ensues is the building romantic relationship between Dane, Avril and Andrew, and the potential fall out when Dane wants something more from the woman he has always loved but struggles with an inability to trust which threatens everything he had and ever wanted.

Dane, Avril and Andrew have always loved one another as friends but their time together at The Wicked Horse opens their eyes to who, what and why of the palpable sexual energy that has been slowly growing between the story line trio. Andrew Collings is the more reluctant of the friends, and to his dismay discovers that Dane and Avril’s relationship is more than he had bargained for. Boundaries will be crossed until someone pulls pack to allow the blossoming relationship to grow.

The relationship between Dane, Avril and Andrews is one of friendship, family and business partners. Throughout the years the trio never once considered a sexual relationship with one another but one evening at The Wicked Horse finds all three reconsidering the future both in the bedroom and the boardroom. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and intense. The relationships are purely heterosexual although some M/M sexual situations are covertly experienced.

WICKED ENVY is a story about friendship, family and love; about trust and letting go; about knowing when to step back and walk away. The premise is sexy, spirited and heartbreaking; the characters are passionate and sassy; the romance is spicy, seductive and provocative. WICKED ENVY is an erotic and energetic look at three friends whose lives are intertwined from the past to the present; whose friendship defies the odds when love pushes two of them together.

REVIEW: WICKED RUSH is the second installment in Kym Grosso’s contemporary, adult CLUB ALTURA erotic, romantic suspense series focusing on the men and women of the exclusive sex and extreme sports club- Club Altura. This is technology capitalist Lars Elliott, and marine biologist Dr. Braelynn Rollins’s story line. WICKED RUSH can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

NOTE: WICKED RUSH contains graphic scenes of M/F/M sexual situations including anal and oral $ex.

Told from dual third person perspectives (Lars and Brae) WICKED RUSH follows marine biologist Dr. Braelynn Rollins as she reluctantly goes undercover to recover her own stolen research. Months earlier Brae is rescued by Lars Elliott following a hail storm of bullets intended to end her life, and in the ensuing time she endeavors to keep Lars at a distance but to no avail. When Brae finds herself a prisoner of the man that calls to her heart, knowing he has never promised anything beyond a weekend affair, our heroine emotions follow a path of pain and regret. What ensues are Brae’s attempts to retrieve the missing information, and Lars need to uncover Brae’s secrets, and the identification of the people behind Brae’s fear for her life.

Lars Elliott is an extreme sports enthusiast; an active member of an elite organization under secret government contract, and Dr. Braelynn Rollins is his current obsession both in and out of the bedroom. Dr. Braelynn Rollins is a renowned marine biologist whose latest discovery has placed our heroine in a precarious position involving corporate and government espionage, stolen documents, and threats against her life. Brae knows her relationship with Lars Elliott is only temporary but her heart wants something more.

We are introduced to Lars’s close friend and fellow member at Club Altura Seth Termaine. Seth and Lars have co-shared many women in the past, and Dr. Braelynn Rollins is their next sexual conquest. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and intense with scenes of M/F/M sexual situations. Throughout the story Lars attitude towards our heroine is less than spectacular; she is but a means to an end, and a willing partner in his bed, but in the end, Lars with lose his heart to the woman with whom he is falling in love.

The world building continues to follow the intimate world of Club Altura. The extreme sports trope takes a backseat to the Club’s sexual side in this particular installment.

I did have a few issues with cohesion; at times it felt as though there were some small details missing or the editing process had stumbled with the story line content. The flow was a bit choppy in parts.

WICKED RUSH is an exciting, suspense filled and entertaining story; an engaging and intriguing tale of espionage, betrayal, secrets and lies. The premise is intense and intoxicating; the characters are energetic, passionate and strong; the romance is a roller coaster of want, need, sexual energy and seduction. Kym Grosso will captivate your imagination with the men and women of Club Altura.
