H-O-T! Oh, And Did I Say Hot!

This is as close to reality as it comes for the home reader of erotica that has no real experience in anything even remotely kinky.

Many women romanticize about the world of BDSM, but if one was actually trying to make the page become a reality, it would probably end up a lot like Winter. We would have lots of cheap pieces ordered from amazon and a small collection of overly sexy outfits, but still never seeming to leave the perch at the bar.

Winter is determined to live out the fantasies she reads about, even going as far as to drag her best friend and coworker Simon along for the ride. Once she lays eyes on her Mystery Hottie, she realizes she may not be quite cut out for this lifestyle, because she wants so much more than just a random encounter.

Mystery Hottie turns out to be a scrumptious desert of a man named Sorin, who is a regular and very much not looking for more. He doesn’t even like to do the same girl twice so there is no misinterpretations of his intentions. He can’t help being drawn to his Little Miss Sunshine and her inexperience and the deep desire to ruin her for other men.

Their perceived ideas of the rules of the game and how they think it’s going to play out couldn’t be any more wrong, but in a good way. Trust me, its Oh so Good!

I can relate a lot to the heroine in this story. She wants to have a crazy sexy adventure, but she wants to do it with just one man, the same man, Her man.

This is my first read from Sky Corgan and I am not disappointed! The writing was full of heat and emotions. You feel for Winter and really want to see her get her hottie and do bad thing to him! And Sorin heats you up so much you want to do naughty things to your significant other! You have been warned!

Thank you Irina Stone for delivering a lust inducing performance while also nailing the other characters. Pun intended! I felt right in the middle of the story the whole time.

I give this 5 out of 5 naughty stars and recommend this to anyone who likes their stories Hot!

Review: Ruby and the Beast by Ditter Kellen

Great modern day retelling of Beauty & the Beast!

I’ve always loved Beauty & the Beast, and find it hard to pass up a retelling of it. This modern take on my favorite classic, has the supernatural elements we are familiar with mixed into the real life scenarios of New Orleans.

Lincoln, aka The Beast, was cursed in the womb by an angry witch practicing black magic voodoo. I was very angry at this because he was being punished for the sins of his father, so not fair! He really wants to break his curse but feels revenge will be his only solace.

Ruby, aka Beauty, finds her family’s secrets run darker than she ever suspected. Her issues keep piling up until she is forced to make a deal with the devil in an effort to not lose all she holds dear.

There is a riddle, a rose, and furry hunky goodness, oh my! If you like Beauty and the Beast, you will not be disappointed.

This is my first read by Ditter Kellen, and I want more! I love the writing with the twists and turns, and the secondary characters and a wolf named Satan are super adorable. I look forward to reading more titles by this author.

Johnny Mack Does a fantastic job narrating this story. There are many characters that span many ages and he pulls it off with relish! Everyone has a distinct voice and it’s easy to get lost in the story. Sadly my favorite is only used a small amount in the end. Transformed Lincoln sounds HOT!

5 of 5 stars!

Non-Fiction Reads: Game of Thrones: Prophecies and Dreams

A lot of tidbit you won’t see on TV!

If you download the ebook, which is free for Kindle Unlimited members, it has a note that states that the book is constantly updated, so the audio and print may not match up.

The audio does not cover the last 13 episodes of the series which are being split into two seasons. The first half just concluded and the second half will play out next year.

The audio covers all that has happened so far in both the books and the television show. (see note above) The TV show is ahead time-line wise of the books, as Mr. Martin has deadline issues. There are still 2 more books due in the series.

This is a review of the various prophecies and dreams within the world of The Game Of Thrones as well as the books the show is based on. Many of these are not covered on the show as there is just not enough time to cover it all. The show-runners for GOT have expressed their desire to try and stay close to the over-all themes and stories from the books, so the unseen foreshadowing from the book should still hold true for the show as it does in the books.

There are some specific visions shown to Daney that I find most curious! Plus the most delectable one told to Cerci having to do with her being murdered by her younger brother! In her arrogance she has seemed to have forgotten that Jamie is actually her younger brother too! Even though I knew this already, I still like hearing about her demise because I really hate her.

Leanne Yau presents the information in a clear and precise manner. She is very easy to understand as well as being pleasant to listen to.

I give this a 5 for what it is, but also want to put a warning out there for those that are just starting the series either in print or TV, there will be spoilers.

Good info for catching up on things!

If you download the ebook, which is free for Kindle Unlimited members, it has a note that states that the book is constantly updated, so the audio and print may not match up.

The audio does not cover the last episodes of the series which are being split into two seasons. The first half just concluded and the second half will play out next year.

The audio covers all that has happened with the White Walkers so far in both the books and the television show. The TV show is ahead time-line wise of the books, as Mr. Martin has deadline issues. There are still 2 more books due in the series.

This is a good catch up on things you may of missed so far as well as a nice refresher for before the season of the show starts. It also covers some theories and speculations, that as a fan, you know you have.

Leanne Yau does an excellent job of narrating this Non-Fiction read about a Fiction series. She presents the information in a clear and precise manner.

I give this a 5 for what it is, but also want to put a warning out there for those that are just starting the series either in print or TV, there will be spoilers.

Review: Ken (Bad Boys for Hire, Book 2) by Rachelle Ayala

I love it and want more!

This is number 2 in the Bad Boys for Hire series, and my first of this series, and author. I do want to read number one now and definitely am looking forward to number 3. I also want to read other titles by this author.

I loved this story. It’s so much more than a man rescuing a damsel in distress. Both Ken and Jolie have their own issues in life to work out so that they can move on in love and living. Ken has always been living but hasn’t taken the time to love. Jolie has taken the time to love, but on her terms. She has never truly lived which forces her to inner reflect if she has truly loved.

Ken is the equivalent of Jerry O’Connell from Stand By Me. He was a chubby child that grew up to be a super fit hottie! He took a big header while surfing and while his career is on hold so his head can heal, we moonlights as a Bad Boys for Hire! Yes, it’s an escort service, but sex is specifically a no-no and is written into the contract.

Jolie is a bride without a groom! Her intended was caught literally with his pants down the night before the wedding by her bridesmaids, so in an attempt to keep Jolie from looking foolish, Ken is hired to be a stand-in.

Ken recognizes Jolie from their childhood school days and now that he is no longer the pumpkin boy, he wants to see if he can get her to fall for him. Jolie on the other hand has no clue this fit and fabulous man before her is that same little boy that was in her play at school so long ago.

I completely adored Ken’s interactions with his sister, Carol, who fell off a mountain while climbing it during a winter storm, and now is in a wheelchair. He was an awesome brother and friend and I look forward to the next book which features Carol in her own HEA!

Chris Abell was excellent in his narration. Both male and female characters were completely believable and it was easy to get lost in the story. He does remind me a bit of Casey Kasem but unless you are in your thirties or older, you probably have no idea whom I’m talking about.

I give this 5 of 5 stars, and recommend it especially as a palate cleanser for in between the heavier, more dark reads.
