REVIEW: Intergalactic Nick by Nathalie Grey from Ellora's Cave


Title: Intergalactic Nick
Author: Nathalie Grey
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Erotica/Science Fiction
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419911293
Length: Quickie
Format: eBook

An outer space chase to find the most daring thief in the galaxy. Nick was the best and Lulu had spent too many years trying to catch him to let go now. She had finally left her job just so she could push past some rules and nab her man. She had been so close so many times it seemed as if he were making it a game but she was not going to lose because it was more than a game with her -- it was her life. It isn't if he robbed banks or anything, he just seduced wealthy women into bed, took their money and left. Problem is none of them would press charges. In the end they were happy enough to have had his attention on their body while he was there and the money did not matter where they were concerned. But to Lulu it just wasn't right.

Intergalactic Nick is a play on the old cops and robbers story, well, sort of with a romantic, sexy, intergalactic twist. Deep inside where it counted she really just wanted to catch him for herself. She was no longer even in authority to arrest him when he did slip up and she knew he definitely would some day. Just when she has him where she wants him, he turns the tables and offers her paradise in his arms. Maybe this is what has really been her problem all along -- the chance to see what all the fuss was about.

REVIEW: Sex With Lex by Carol Lynne from Ellora's Cave


Title: Sex With Lex
Author: Carol Lynne
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Contemporary/ Gay
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419909672
Length: Novella
Format: eBook

Lex's son Sam was coming home from college for the summer and wanted to bring his friend Nick along for a taste of ranch life. Lex was excited about having Sam home for the summer was after meeting them at the airport and getting a good look at Nick was excited for a different reason. He also felt extremely guilty for lusting after his sons friend.

Nick had seen a picture of Lex on Sam's desk and already was fascinated with him, in person he was larger than life in every way. What would the summer bring?

This is a complex story of love, how we do all we can to protect the one's that are most important to us. In an effort to protect his son Lex had spent years denying himself a relationship. He was firmly in the closet. Would he continue to deny the thing he wanted most? It is easy to become involved in the characters and the strength of their convictions. A heart warming story of love and final acceptance of oneself.

REVIEW: Nights of Desire by Marilyn Lee from Ellora's Cave


Title: Nights of Desire
Author: Marilyn Lee
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Interracial / Contemporary
Rating: S-ensuous
Publication date: July 2007
ISBN: 9781419912085
Length: Novel

At the office Valentine's Day party Tempest finally got the courage to make a play for her soon to be ex-boss Layton. She had already resigned so she would only be working for him for two more weeks.

Layton wanted more from her, now that she was not going to be his employee he wanted a life long relationship, he wanted a family. She was getting older and wanted a child but no romantic entanglements. After losing her fiance in an auto accident she felt she could never love again. When their one-night stand became a pregnancy they had a lot to work out.

A wonderful romance even though neither person could bring themselves to trust the other with their hearts. A lot of internal struggle with pride and trust issues led to many conflicts. The passion and dialogue was well written and the story was good till the end. With Layton (Hawk) having seven brothers and a sister I am looking forward to hearing more from the Greyhawk family.

REVIEW: Raina's Fantasy by Jo Carlisle from Ellora's Cave


Title: Raina's Fantasy
Author: Jo Carlisle
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Vampire
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419913303
Length: Novel
Format: eBook

Johan and Zane had hit bottom, literally. They had sunk from prized warriors, to being outcast to now having to sell themselves as sex slaves in order to stay alive. Neither had eaten in days, Zane was sick with a fever and their only hope was a Master who would be kind to them.

Raina was the meanest vampire Queen who wanted to treat her self to a couple of male slaves for her birthday, something she did every hundred years or so. She had been looking for a while now and was not having any luck till tonight, as soon as she laid eyes on them she knew they were going to be hers. She would do everything to them to tame the strong proud warriors to her will.

Being a vampire slave is a little different in this story but is a kinky tale of how the Queen actually recognizes the potential of each man and trains him to fulfil his destiny. The is a lot of dominance and submission as well as vivid sex along with some underlying vampire politics and intrigue, as the warriors still try to discover who had turned on them and had them outcast. With a killer on the loose there is the sub plot of murder and mayhem as well. It keeps you on your toes as Raina's Fantasy is fulfilled.

REVIEW: A Lick and a Promise by Ann Wesley Hardin from Ellora's Cave


Title: A Lick and a Promise
Author: Ann Wesley Hardin
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Futuristic/Science Fiction
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419912252
Length: Novel
Format: eBook

Space aliens have invaded the earth, or at least Seattle. Anthros has come to earth on a mission to kidnap Michael a half breed, a test as it were to see if human genetics could be added to the Markarians and thus end their problems of genetic inbreeding. After five years in space travel he had finally landed and was trying to adjust to the environment when he meets Dove, Michael's nanny and lets some information slip. Anthros already knew her in an out-of-body intimidate way. They had been having mind sex for weeks now. As he got closer to Earth he had found her mentally and had created quite a bond, little did she know her dreams were significantly more than just dreams. The mind games had just begun.

A fun story of alien conquest. Well not world conquest but personal conquest. And the mind sex pulls out all the stops. It is also a story of personal growth a maturing and accepting things that do not seem possible. A wonderful light hearted romance that pleases the heart.

REVIEW: Dare to Dominate by Claire Thompson from Ellora's Cave


Title: Dare to Dominate
Author: Claire Thompson
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: BDSM
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419910586
Length: Novel Format: eBook


Jonathan Goldman had secret desires to dominate even though it went against everything he was raised to believe about how to treat women. Laurel Jordan was a free spirit travelling the world and answering to no one. But she was also a player in the world of BDSM and want to really experience the kind of relationship that went beyond play and encompassed all the emotions of love, passion, and companionship. Fate had them crossing paths in Germany even though they both were from New York, but it made that first meeting easier on both parties. She recognized the dominate in him and tried to encourage him to dare to cross the line between desire and action and express those desires with her.

A look into the intimate adventure of two people growing into their own with each other's help. A realistic look at the dynamics of a relationship that includes D/s, in a loving context instead of just party play. I love the intimacy and the tender caring of characters. Acceptance is a major part of the story, not only does each character need to accept the other's needs but much each accept their own inner desires and communicate those effectively. A fabulous book that even include some dialogue that helps teach valuable lessons about BDSM. Great job.

REVIEW: Demolishing Mr. Perfect by Ashlyn Chase from Ellora's Cave


Title: Demolishing Mr. Perfect
Author: Ashlyn Chase
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Contemporary
Rating: S-ensuous
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419912078
Length: Novella
Format: eBook

Natalie was trying to find Mr. Perfect and she thought she was in a perfect position to find him. As a technician at the sperm bank she could look through the files and meet each man in person it was a perfect solution to the normal dating scene. However, time and again she had accepted dates with the donors only to be stood up at the last minute. She now had a rule, they only got one shot, if they did not show up it was over.

When the building next door was demolished by Shane Derby several donors of Natalie's messed up their samples and she was on the warpath. Couldn't they have warned her they were going to set off explosives. Her confrontation with Shane left him hot and he decided he would definitely find a way to see her again. He had never considered donating sperm but to see her he would definitely fill out an application, especially since she had goaded him by implying he would not be up to her standards.

A light contemporary story of finding the right guy but not wanting to settle for anything less than perfect. However, no one is perfect and Natalie will have to learn to accept Shane and give him a second chance if she is going to find happiness. She will have to let go of her rigid rules and bend a little in the end if she wants their steamy relationship to get off the ground.

REVIEW: Stand and Deliver by Leda Swann from Ellora's Cave


Title: Stand and Deliver
Author: Leda Swann
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Historical
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419912115
Length: Novella
Format: eBook

A historical romance about a highway man and an inn keeper's daughter. He was captured by her innocence and she was captured by his passion. She taught her everything from kissing to rutting in the space of a few precious days. Then he left promising to return before he left the country to at least say goodbye. She desperately wanted to go with him and was hoping he would change his mind.

This is a nicely done story of innocent love. The tenderness Jack shows to Bess is such a contrast to those around her, and it captures her. It could also be his downfall. A good all around historical romance.

NEW RELEASES: Check Out Our Hot New Reads!

Ladies, are you tired of the same old reading? Are you looking for something to
stimulate you? Need something Synn-ful to make your day end on a high note?

If so, then come to the dark side for some great reading from some amazing writers and great books.

Also, while you are there check out the new look of our website and look at what great changes we have made to it.

Look at the great reads from August 31, 2007

Title - Dance of Seduction
Author - Capri Montgomery
Release Date - August 31, 2007
Cover Artist - Missy Sue Hanson
Genre - Contemporary
Heat Level - Erotic
Word Count - 4,500
Price - $1.99

Lizzy is a legend on the dance circuit, but when it comes to socializing with the upper class elite, she soon finds out that if she's going to Tango with the rich, she better have a strong partner.

Beck is looking to impress his girlfriend with his new dancing ability. In the process of learning a step by step routine with his sexy instructor, Beck finds that dancing and seduction go hand in hand. He's falling in love with Lizzy and suddenly, marrying a woman for the benefit of his family's social status just doesn't seem as important as marrying for love.
Will Lizzy and Beck's dance floor seduction lead to happily ever after? Or will Beck cave to his family's wishes and marry for money?

Excerpt:

Why did you start giving private instructions?" Beck pulled Lizzy into his arms.
She fit so perfectly. He had a hard time reminding himself that she was in this for the money. He wasn't free to take her anyway. She pushed away just enough to give herself some space.
"Framing," she admonished before continuing. "I needed the money during college. I was trying to pay for grad school, but I had to drop out of the program and this just seemed right." She looked at his posture. "Chin up."
He did as she said. "You don't have any regrets?"
Sure she had regrets. She regretted not getting her doctorate in art studies, she regretted not making time for dating while she was still considered young and viable, and she regretted wanting a man that she couldn't have. She had loads of regrets, but instead she smiled and said, "One door closes and another one opens."

Mike Wendell lives on the knife-edge. He knows his world is dangerous and he wants to keep Karin out of it, because once before he lost the woman he loved, but she is determined to find her missing sister – and she is falling in love. Drawn
together by a burning need and desire that won't be denied, they are plunged into a web of intrigue. Caught up in a world of spying, art theft and ruthless criminals, can they solve the mystery and find a new life together?

Excerpt:

"My sister has been missing for more than three weeks now. I think someone must have killed her. What I want to know is what you intend to do about it?"
The girl wasn't particularly tall, but what she lacked in inches, she made up for in spirit. Eyes that were normally a soft grey flashed fire, as she pushed her long, straight hair back from her forehead.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. We have her listed as missing since her husband reported her missing just over a week ago – but I don't have much hope of finding her. People go off on their own for a variety of reasons, and I very much doubt that she has been murdered…" The American police officer gave the young English girl a harassed look. "If a body turns up we'll let you know…"

Title - Send Me An Angel
Author - Alysha Ellis
Release Date - August 31, 2007
Cover Artist - Missy Sue Hanson
Genre - Fantasy
Heat Level - Erotic
Word Count - 18,459
Price - $3.50

When an angel falls to earth to find out about sex, there's a lot to learn – especially for someone who doesn't even recognize an erection when he gets one.
Ellie is more than willing to be her angel's tutor – and Peter is a very fast learner.
The lessons learnt end up being about more than sex, and it is Ellie who becomes the pupil.

Exerpt:

She clapped a hand over wayward mouth. What was she thinking? How could the sight of one man, no matter how outstandingly, amazingly gorgeous he was, so completely
scramble her normally no-nonsense, decisive brain?
The man raised himself onto one knee. His forearm was draped across his other thigh. Ellie's no-nonsense brain went into shock. To get from the sight of that one knee, to the opposite thigh, her eyes had to take a long, scenic journey. And in the middle of that journey, she stopped. And stared. And smiled.
Tie it up with a big red bow, because that package was hers. Can we all sing, Happy Birthday to Ellie?

Title - The Concubine of the Temple
Author - Nyki Blatchley
Release Date - August 31, 2007
Cover Artist - Missy Sue Hanson
Genre - Fantasy
Heat Level - Erotic
Word Count - 11,528
Price - $2.50

The sacred concubines of Anrak live secluded in their temple, knowing only female company, although it's many generations since the god came down and took a human
lover. Mellia has spent all eighteen years of her life knowing nothing else and, following the custom of the temple, revels in pleasure with her fellow-concubine and lover, Zefra. When Zefra is falsely accused of murder, Mellia confesses to the
killing to save her lover from punishment.

Now she finds a side of the temple she never suspected: dungeons far below, where the older priestesses take pleasure in subjecting their victims to sadistic torture and humiliation, forcing her to pleasure them while she's bound and
abused. Mellia must endure this to save her lover from sharing the punishment, but her tormenters have one more horror that she's never dreamt of – her first ever encounter with a man.

Excerpt:

Before she had a chance to anticipate, Varda punched her hard in her stomach, and Mellia doubled up, momentarily stunned by the sudden pain. "Yes, mistress," the woman hissed. "You'll address both of us as mistress. Do you understand?"
"Yes... mistress," Mellia managed to gasp through the pain.
"You'll do whatever you're instructed to," said Jennica, "and you'll do everything in your power to please. Whatever is done to you, you'll thank us."
"Yes, mistress." Mellia couldn't understand what was going on, and her mind was racing. Whatever was going to be done to her, she had the impression that the two priestesses were well used to it. Yet she could remember no-one ever being taken away, and no-one had ever spoken of being brought here.

Excerpt:

I lay next to him panting, he looked confused, taking his member in my hand I ended his confusion. Delicately, fingers traced its outline and then stroked its whole being. I kissed the tip of his manhood and then took him wholly in my mouth.

He wiggled, sliding on the satin sheets beneath him. I heard him beg for more, heard him ask me to relinquish my position. I obliged, my whole body shuddered under his mounting, legs wrapped around him I pulled him deeper into a sexual web of desire.

Excerpt:

Light flooded the room from the doorway and a tall figure was outlined against it for a moment before the door was shut again and the figure was moving forward towards the bed.
"Samael? Is that you?"
A sharp humorless laugh. "Who else were you expecting, boy?"
He sat up quickly and backed up until his spine hit the headboard. "What do you want?"
"The same as you. Comfort and forgetfulness."

Word Count - 3,123
Price - $1.50

Nina is a good girl with a naughty book. Never in her right mind would she consider having sex with a stranger, and yet, the lusty, appreciative gaze of a man seated across from her makes her second guess that thought.
The sexual tension sizzles between them, and the bold way the stranger speaks has her imagining the graphic contents in the novel, and she wants the written word to become reality. A wicked reality where two strangers find naked comfort... in a
public place.

Excerpt:

"Does the idea of sucking a stranger's cock turn you on?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in question. "
Nina's heart began to pound. It felt as though her t-shirt would rip apart fron the tightness in her chest. She shook her head, wondering where the thought had come from. So, she focuded on his shaved head...
Bad move.
New images of his head between her thighs formed in her flustered mind. She exhaled deeply.
Would his head be smooth to touch, or feel like rough sandpaper...?
What an erotic sensation that would be.

Julie finds herself trapped in a compromising position, an unwilling witness to her girlfriend's initiation of another woman's first foray into lesbian sex. But as she watches she realizes her own hidden desires and the excitement when she
realizes they may be fulfilled.

Excerpt:

I shouldn't be watching this, Julie told herself, unable to tear her eyes away.
But it was too late to announce herself, she rationalized, also realizing the stakes had increased to monumental proportions should she now be discovered.
Amy was kissing Lisa's throat and Julie could see Lisa bend her head back and let out a ragged sigh of pleasure. She also saw Lisa begin to fumble with the buttons on Amy's blouse and as she opened them, Julie strained to see Amy's breasts as they were slowly uncovered.
Licking her lips, she realized she wished she could kiss them herself. Where did that come from?

REVIEW: Been There, Bit That by Marly Chance from Ellora's Cave


Title: Been There, Bit That
Author: Marly Chance
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Vampire
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419913310
Length: Short Novel
Format: eBook

Tamara is in a jam, all she wants is to live a normal life even though she is a vampire. Her mother the high council leader has always been neck deep in the politics of the vampire community and Tamara has done everything she could to stay out of the fray. Now in her words she is being called on to "engage in a sex threesome for the good of my country and my fellow vamps". What a way to serve.

Dominic and Marc were old college buddies but she had reasons to stay away from these powerful sexy men, plenty of reasons. Because of an abuse of power way across the country these three would have to form a power triad in order to keep control of the vampire world. Triads were only established during sex – three way – with the exchange of blood.

A sterling sexual adventure. The dynamics of the members of the triad are wonderfully captured and the sexual tension is fantastic. I love it when there is a lot going on in a story under the basic story line. This one has punch and does a great job of including enough personality that the reader really gets enmeshed into the story. A really great read, hot and heated with the political and power struggle in the background.

REVIEW: The Knowing ~ Larraine Wills ~ Swimming Kangaroo Books ~ Fantasy/Historical


Title: The Knowing
Author: Larraine Wills
Website of Author: http://www.larriane.com/
Publisher: Swimming Kangaroo Books
Website of Publisher: http://www.swimmingkangaroo.com
Genre: Fantasy/Historical Romance
Publication Date: October 2006
ISBN: Paperback: 1-934041-12-2 , MS Reader 1-934041-11-4
Length: 293 pages
Format: Paperback, MS Reader, eBook, Mobi, PDF, HTML

Garran of Lockmer-orphan, soldier, Governor of Sheritan---is surrounded by conspiracies of priests desiring his death and an army desiring to control Sheritan and make slaves of its people. Garran pays a high price for evacuating the people from the town when he is caught first by the High Priest and tortured, then handed over to the army captain, Caslow, also to torture---the High Priest because of hatred and Caslow because Caslow thinks Garran caused the disappearance of the Princess who he wanted to marry.

Princess Fayahstella, escapes from her castle to arrive at Sheritan for sanctuary and in the process develops a hatred for the way she is kept from life experiences any woman needs to become a whole person. She revolts and disappears for a time. Several things stand in the way of Garran and Fayahstella creating a relationship of any kind, but none can be sought until the conspiracies are dealt with and obliterated. It will not be easy.

Larriane Wills has done a superb job creating the characters, setting, dialog and other elements to make The Knowing a great story. The events flow smoothly and naturally from beginning to end. I've not been much of a fan of historical romance, but this one is the best of those I have read and I eagerly await Ms. Wills next book.

About the Author:

I have been an avid reader from the time I could pick up a book. When a book was available, I made up my own stories though I didn't set any to paper until my early twenties and then only put them away when finished. Just over a year ago I decided to 'do something' with my writing. I now have four books under contract with the first to be released in Sept. I live in a quiet rural area of the Arizona high country with my husband and pets.

REVIEW: Venereus by Sherri I. King from Ellora's Cave


Title: Venereus
Author: Sherri l. King
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Erotica
Rating: X-treme
Publication date: July 2007
ISBN: 9781419912733
Length: Short Novel
Format: eBook

Khira, Geoff and Anna were good friends who went out on Friday's together for a little clubbing fun. They did not use their real names and only planned to hook up for some sweaty fun and compare notes later. Khira hooked up all right with Bram, not his real name she was sure. And since that night she has not been able to get enough of men. However, it seemed that her kisses literally sucked the life out of them. She desperately needed to find Bram and find out what had happened to her. Her life was falling apart, she could not go on, yet she could not stop and people were dying because of her.

An intense encounter leads to a change of life. This is an interesting story of life changing proportions and the effects of one life on those around. The sex was outstanding in the beginning and toward the end it was violent and indiscriminate. There was little compassion or even romance but a driving compulsion in the events. Only at the end was there a glimmer of hope that life could be better.

REVIEW: The Rememdiu by Shayla Dersten from Ellora's Cave


Title: The Rememdiu
Author: Shayla Kersten
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Vampire/Menage a trois or More/Gay
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: September 2007
ISBN: 9781419911644
Length: Short Novel
Format: eBook

Roger Malloy had just let his career slip through his fingers. He had failed his assignment to protect the son of a Senator, and now the Senator was dead and the son was presumed dead, his body missing. His life was about to change and the only way to put on the brakes was to find Lorcan MacKenna and find out what truly happened. He was sure Lorcan was the key to the puzzle. He just had no clue to how complicated the puzzle would become.

Cardin and Estefan had been together as a small group of Watcher, supposedly the last of their breed. They were watching Roger because he seemed to be the Rememdiu, everything pointed to him to end the existence of the hated vampires. If only they could get to him and bind him to their cause in time.

It is a wonder story of the depths of love and what lengths one would go to in order to protect the love of their life. It is also a story of acceptance. I love the take on vampirism and how it is finally understood that not all vampires are bad. The intensity of the sexual escapades of the Watchers is outstanding even in the beginning when love is not involved. As love grows it gets even hotter with ménage a 'four'. What a great read. There has got to be more of this story.


Reader Advisory: While a stand-alone, for greatest reader enjoyment, it is recommended The Cost of Eternity be read first.

REVIEW: Bad Appple: Perfectly Wicked Book 3 by Anna J. Evans from Ellora's Cave


Title: Bad Apple: Perfectly Wicked Book 3
Author: Anna J. Evans
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Fantasy
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419911637
Length: Novella
Format: eBook

A reality show is the vehicle for creating a new life for Katarina. After serving time for attempted murder she needs to show the world she is actually a nice person fully capable of returning to her life as a public relations specialist, but returning to that career will never happen unless she can convince the world.

Already the first day of filming she hates it the producers are spending so much time playing up her past she is sure no one will believe the new image. She decides to take matters into her own hand and take it up with the boss, Mr. Sokol, the owner of several strip clubs who was trying to stay to keep his involvement in this production top secret. A little blackmail would go along way to making sure they didn't screw up her chance.

The premise of the story is pure fantasy in a world of Kings and Queens but still has the contemporary aspects of a reality TV show. It is an interesting combination. The blackmail never takes place but the characters become for a time the best of friends, the best of lovers, and their own worst enemies. Maybe all lovers should have someone neural to confide in before allowed to mess each other's lives. I am sure all works out as intended in the end, but will it be a happy ending. A well blended romantic, erotic, fiction with plenty of sizzle.

REVIEW: Perfect Whore, by Sahara Kelly from Ellora's Cave


Title: Perfect Whore
Author: Sahara Kelly
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Erotica
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: September 2007
ISBN: 9781419911569
Length: Novel
Format: eBook

Scarlet Angel the whore tells her story. She is very good at what she does, she is very high priced and very exclusive. Top of the line so to speak. When her aunt dies and she visits her small town she leaves Scarlet Angel on the shelf and lets her real personality show Angel is in for a shock. Two very attractive men react to her in very different ways and both cause reactions in her that she never expected. For the first time she understands the difference between making love and having sex and she is not sure how that will effect her future.

The sex is graphic and told from a first person point of view. The moves from first person to third person is a little difficult when trying to relate to the character, but puts an interesting perspective on her thoughts. The internal growth in Angel is very interesting and thought provoking.

REVIEW: Aphrodite's Necklace: Torrid Tarot, Queen of Penacles by Anh Leod from Ellora's Cave


Title: Aphrodite's Necklace: Torrid Tarot, Queen of Pentacles
Author: Anh Leod
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Paranormal/Historical
Rating: S-ensuous
Publication date: August 2007
ISBN: 9781419910005
Length: Novella
Format: eBook

Aphrodite enhanced a necklace with magic a love potion of sorts. As she attended a costume ball at the request of Emerald she planed to make sure the necklace got into the right hands, the hands of Emily Rogers. Her father was having this ball in her honour in order to find her an eligible match. With his financial worries it would be necessary to find someone who was wealthy and would not be put off with the nonexistent dowry. What Emily wants is love and with the help of the necklace she might just get it even though she had no idea magic was afoot.

A crazy magical tale with lots of sex and love. Could it be true that magic could take care of all the pesky things in life like money and titles and class restrictions. Of course love will conquer everything but is the magic necessary or only a start. A sweet story of forbidden love that works out in the end, it also has a touch of forbidden sex as well. A fun read.

A Filly For Doug by Reese Gabriel from Ellora's Cave


Title: A Filly For Doug
Author: Reese Gabriel
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: BDSM
Rating: E-rotic
Publication date: September 2007
ISBN: 9781419911804
Length: Short Novel
Format: eBook

Jake was trying a bit of matchmaking by setting up a blind date with his good friend Helaine and Doug. Doug was his wife Jilly's finance before she married Jake. They had become good friends as well and he wanted Doug as happy as he was. Doug was having doubts. He knew Jilly and Jake were into the BDSM lifestyle and they seemed happy enough. He had even confessed to Jake he had had fantasies along those lines but he was always a gentleman first, his upbringing would not allow him to hurt a woman even in that small way. Now Jake had set him up and he felt he was in over his head. Even at dinner the dominant fantasies had his mind in a whirl. When she got up to leave saying she did not want to start a relationship he knew he could not allow her to go.

Sexy and kinky in all the right places. I just love a story were people are beginning to really explore their fantasies instead of keeping them hidden. And when things click into gear in this story things really heat up in a hurry. It was especially interesting to read about Jake and Jilly fulfilling the D/s roles they were experienced with in contrast to the inexperienced Doug and Helaine. It is a wonderful story that comes alive for the reader.

REVIEW: Thief of Mine by Amarinda Jones from Ellora's Cave


Title: Thief of Mine
Author: Amarinda Jones
Publisher: Ellora's Cave
Website of Publisher: http://www.ellorascave.com
Genre: Contemporary
Rating: S-ensuous
Publication date: 2007
ISBN: 9781419911064
Length: Novel

Stella was having a rough day. Just thirty minutes prior to her best friends wedding she had witnessed the bride having some farewell sex with one of the groomsmen. Kit was intense and sexy as hell and she was having a hard time being in the same room as that scumbag. But wait the best is yet to come. Not only does he come on to her, but blackmails her into meeting him in the garden for some private time. This begins a long road of entanglement.

Kit is in the business of acquisitions and sales. The only problem is he often acquires things that belong to someone else and now is in possession of a statue, an artefact actually of a fertility goddess that was worth a fortune and a witch and her coven were willing to kill him to get it back.

A great light hearted run for your life with a good looking guy/gal treat. With the adrenalin pumping as the chase is on and the hormones rushing into overdrive as well, it is a volatile combination. The moral conundrum of wanting a man who was a thief and had no problem with using sex to get what he wanted was hard for her. It made interesting reading to see the changes each underwent for the other.

Charmed, I'm Sure by John C. Bunnell from Uncial Press


Title: Charmed, I'm Sure
Author: John C. Bunnell
Publisher: Uncial Press
Website of Publisher: www.uncialpress.com/
Genre: Fantasy
Publication date: NOVEMBER 2007
ISBN 13 : 9781601740397

The fairy queen in Shakespeare's Midsummer Nights Dream was actually being played by a real life Sidhe. Making friends with Amy was the best thing that Juliet McKenna had since leaving her family. Amy's brother Richmond Becket was another thing. He was a student of magic and easily trapped Juliet in a spell of possession with the mulled cider and toast at Thanksgiving dinner. All he wanted was Sidhe magic and he was not particularly concerned about the how. Having Juliet in his power he was going to force her to take him to Faerie.

A short fantasy about power, Sidhe power. It is interesting that Sidhe chose to leave Faerie and live as humans but whatever she fled from she certainly did not want to go back. It was trickery and only trickery would solve this dilemma.

About the Author: John C. Bunnell—no relation to the police-video host—has been writing and reviewing speculative fiction for over two decades. His short fiction has appeared in magazines including Artemis and anthologies ranging from Swashbuckling Editor Stories to Fantastic Companions. Previously a longtime reviewer for Dragon Magazine and a contributor to the Hugo-nominated Tangent, he has also reviewed books for three incarnations of Amazing Stories (and hopes there will be a fourth). He lives and writes in Oregon, where he fights a never-ending battle against spending too much time on the Internet.

NEW RELEASE: James Fischer, a.k.a. Sturmen Krieg, Malignance - The Dark Ages Trilogy II


Sturmen Krieg's latest novel, the second installment of The Dark Ages trilogy, is now available online. To download a POD, please go to www.Readerseden.com and input "Malignance - The Dark Ages Trilogy II"

Other dark Ages events include (announce the web site or the date of the third book or a reading?) I look forward to seeing you.

Thank you for your continued readership and support!

Malignance - The Dark Ages Trilogy II

Returning from Panama, and the savaging of Team Bravo, contract DEA operator, Captain Alexander Scott Richter, finds he returns six days late of his daughter's funeral.

With no help from his ex-wife, her new husband, or the police, Richter embarks on a quest to uncover the murderer of the only thing he ever truly loved, his child. As a part of his probe, Richter is confronted by the realization of his own inadequacies as a parent, a father.

Delving deep into the underside of New Orleans, he encounters a youth under-culture more savvy, more enduring, than any soldier's ability to survive a conflict. With help from an unknown shadow collaborator, Richter recklessly stumbles from one disclosure to the next, haphazardly encroaching on the perpetrator of his daughter's demise.

REVIEW: Bloody Ham ~ Brian Kavanagh ~ Be Write Books ~ Cozy Mystery


Title: Bloody Ham
Author: Brian Kavanagh
Website of Author: http://beekayvic.tripod.com/
Publisher: Be Write Books
Website of Publisher: http://www.bewrite.net
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Publication Date: September 2007
ISBN: 978-1905202539
Length: 204 pagesFormat: eBook

Buy Now! Click on title above for Amazon!

Brian Kavanagh has done it again. In this third book of the Belinda Lawrence
Cozy Mystery series, Brian brings Hazel Whitby to center stage where she
assumes the position as leader in the investigative team.

Hazel Whitby, an antiques dealer, hires antique silver to a film company for
use in a dinner scene in the proposed film Playing Boys. Belinda Lawrence,
as Hazel's business partner, is allowed to be on the set with Hazel to watch
over her silver during filming. To her horror, Belinda then sees one of the stars
suddenly drop dead at the end of the dinner scene. For real.

As a result, Belinda is asked to play stand-in to the American actress
taking the place of the murdered star. She feels this position provides an
opportunity for her to investigate the murder and obtain some evidence. When
a second murder takes place, her new role as stand-in tests her ability to
act when she faces off with the murderer. Belinda will never forget her
brief acting career.

Bloody Ham is a sequel to Capable of Murder and The Embroidered Corpse. Read
them all and follow Belinda Lawrence as she plays detective in each of them.
Brian Kavanagh's superb job of juggling the clues and keeping the mystery a
mystery until the very end has produced another great story.

Brian Kavanagh has many years' experience in the Australian Film Industry in
areas of production, direction, editing and writing. He is presently
planning a fourth book in the Belinda Lawrence mystery series in which
Belinda travels to Melbourne, her hometown in Australia. Her emotional
conflict continues torn between two loves, but at the same time she and
Hazel Whitby get involved in a case of murder concerning the discovery of a
missing historical item that has political ramifications. Mr. Kavanagh is
also working on a film script and has an idea for a stand alone mystery that
has comic elements. He is truly an author to watch. More information can be
found at http://www.bewrite.net/authors/brian_kavanagh.htm

NEW RELEASE:: In a Stranger's Arms 5 Blue Ribbons at RJ!

In a Stranger's Arms

by Tianna Xander
Copyright 2007 eXtasy Books
Purchase Link: http://tinyurl.com/2kfd2z

Blurb:

Callie Obermeyer is just like every other woman, if you disregard the dead bodies that keep turning up around her, the banshee wails that echo through the night, and the stranger she can't help but be drawn to.

Death has come calling, and he's a vampire who answers to the name of Gunther Andarton. While chasing a demon preying on the city's female population, he finds his mate in spunky Callie. But how do you tell the woman meant to be yours that she must die in order to live?

As the demon strikes, the one called Death learns what it is to love… and Callie must choose between death, a life of eternal solitude, or love in a stranger's arms.

Excerpt:

She locked gazes with him and was unable to turn away—even though she wanted to. She didn't want to lead him on, knew staring at him like this was a blatant invitation, yet she couldn't stop herself. The man was incredible. At least six-four, he exuded pure masculinity. His dark eyes held a sensual invitation. As he moved closer, she noticed they weren't brown, as she'd originally thought. In this light and from this distance, they appeared black.

When he stopped next to her seat and held his hand out, she almost panicked. "Dance with me." It wasn't a question. He clearly expected her to take his hand and walk to the dance floor with him. She stared at the proffered hand for a second before placing her own in his, unable for whatever reason to refuse his demand.

Warm fingers closed around her hand and lightning shot up her arm at the contact. Callie licked her lips, and cast a quick glance at Mandy. Her friend shrugged and grinned.

"Don't mind me. I'm waiting for the golden boy to come
back." She waved them away. "I'll be fine. I promise."

With a gentle tug, he pulled her to her feet, took her under his arm and they made their way to the dance floor. "I've never seen you here before," he said, as he wrapped his arms around her. The shock of his hand holding hers was nothing compared to the way it felt when he took her into his embrace. Callie closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It would take every bit of strength and self-control she had to keep herself from falling into bed with this man. He exuded sensuality.
How would she ever tell him no, if he asked her to go home with him?

As luck would have it, the next song was a slow one that she liked. The man pulled her tight against his hard body and began to move to the rhythm. It wasn't the inexperienced swaying of a man who didn't know how to dance, but a slow controlled waltz of a man who knew just what he was doing.

Callie had the ridiculous urge to ask him where he'd been all her life. She gazed up at him, uncertain. She wasn't sure she could participate in a one-night stand, even as turned on as she was. She was certainly no prude, but she didn't give herself freely, either. Standing within his arms, she knew this could easily turn into something she wasn't ready for. Just his close proximity made her whole body burn. She'd never been this attracted to any man before. Was it him or had her neighbor's death affected her in some way?

"I am called Gunther." The low timbre of his voice startled her
back to the present and she blinked. Be still my heart. She hadn't noticed that cool accent when he'd asked her to dance. But, then again, with the noise coming from the table beside them she wouldn't have heard it anyway. The mild accent, a cross between German and British, was a strange but nice mixture.

She smiled and her lips wobbled a bit. "My name—" she cleared her throat. "My name is Callie."

He raised one perfectly arched ebony brow. "And Callie is short for ...?"

Her cheeks grew warm again and she bowed her head. "My parents went to Hollywood for their honeymoon. Mom loved California so much that when she found out I was conceived there, she decided to name me after the state."

"Your name is California?"

Callie didn't know whether to be amused or insulted by his
incredulous look. She chose amused and laughed. "No, thank goodness, my father was able to talk her out of that. My given name is Callie."

Gunther smiled. "It's different. I like it." His unique
scent filled her senses as he led her around and she nearly lost her balance. "Careful now," he said, tightening his arms around her.
"I apologize for my lack of talent on the dance floor. No wonder you stumbled. Tripped over my big clumsy feet, eh?"

Her cheeks burned and she fought the urge to bury her face in his chest. He wasn't clumsy. Anything but, actually. He'd drawn her across the dance floor on a smooth glide. If she hadn't already pegged him for a member of law enforcement, she would think him a professional dancer.

"You aren't clumsy and you know it. It's me. I just…"
She let her voice trail off and tried to think what excuse she could give him for not being able to keep her balance. It wasn't as if she could tell him, `excuse me, mister, but you turn me on to distraction'. That just wouldn't cut it. "I—I just felt a bit dizzy for a minute is all."

The concern on his face made her feel like a jerk. "Then I should escort you back to your table if you're not feeling well."

"No—no. I'm fine," she hurried to interject. Now that she found herself in his arms, she didn't want it to end, just yet.
Even though they'd just met, she couldn't keep her thoughts from becoming carnal, no matter how hard she tried. She wasn't ready for another commitment. Joey had left her emotionally battered. Scarred and wary, it would be a long time before she'd be able to let someone in again. Though allowing herself to have sex with the man was out of the
question, it didn't mean that she couldn't enjoy his company for a while or fantasizing about what could have been had she been someone else, someone more free with her body.

BLURB:
Brance Brenneman is used to harsh conditions ~ the eldest son of a stern Amish preacher, Brance was bit by a werecat as a young boy, and managed to keep his secret from his family until he was old enough to leave them and their religion behind. Years later, when the nation is divided by the American Civil War, Brance finds himself enlisted in the Union army. By sheer chance, he meets Caleb Chilson, a Confederate soldier who bears his same shapeshifting burden.

Together they leave the war behind to forge a new life in the wilderness of Pennsylvania. But trappers near their camp are hunting bobcats, and they don't much care if Brance and Caleb are only in the fur part of the time. Brance finds his peaceful existence shattered, and he has to fight to defend the life ~ and the bobcat, the man ~ he's come to love.

EXCERPT: (Adult, Explicit M/M)

In the excerpt below, Brance and Caleb get frisky in the early dawn ...

In the morning Brance found himself curled around Caleb in their tent.
Before he opened his eyes, he knew he was human again ~ his heartbeat was no longer the racing muscle that pounded in his chest as a cat.
Fingers, not paws, twined through Caleb's shaggy hair, and one long leg bent at the knee to drape over his lover's hip.

Beyond the confines of the small tent they shared, the noises of the forest were gone, replaced with a calm quiet Brance knew to be deceiving. Somewhere out there three men cleaned their guns, waiting for nightfall. Brance wasn't sure what to do about that ~ Caleb's suggestion of talking to the men was laughable, at best, but should they pack up and plunge deeper into the mountains? How much distance
could they put behind them in one day's time? Or should they stay put, lay low, wait a few days until their time of the month passed and the men moved on?

He didn't know. For the first time in his life, he had someone else to think of, someone else to consider. The indecision that warred inside him clouded his judgment ~ it blurred his thoughts like a hand easing between his legs, the touch of skin on skin distracting. A low moan slipped from him, unbidden; to stifle it, he pressed his face into the
pile of clothing he used as a pillow.

Then he shifted closer to Caleb and felt a real hand cupping his crotch, fingers massaging under his balls as they worked over tender flesh toward Brance's puckered hole. An eager tongue licked out to taste one of Brance's nipples.

Lust shot through him like lightning, every nerve awake and energized.
Between his legs, his cock thickened as blood rushed with the
suddenness of a swift summer storm to fill his length. His balls throbbed with desire and need. When Caleb licked out a second time, Brance gave up all pretense of sleep and rolled onto his lover, pressing him back to the blankets of their makeshift bed. Gentle fingers trailed up Brance's hips as their erections crushed together with a sweet ache. With a sleepy smile, Caleb purred, "Hey."

Brance's reply was a demanding kiss that held Caleb pinned beneath him and took his breath away. For all the playful mating Caleb liked to do in the fur, Brance was a physical man who needed to feel Caleb's body held tight against his. He loved kisses, foreplay, hands clasping and
stroking and fondling hidden flesh. He loved suckling bare skin, taking Caleb's dick in his mouth, rimming his lover's ass with a heated tongue. The feline form was too limited for him ~ that body was built for hunting and running, not arduous caresses or tender kisses. Not love.

Though Caleb had started it, Brance took charge of the moment. He forced himself to slow down, savor it ~ his kiss deepened, his tongue tasting Caleb's mouth as if he were ambrosia itself and this was Brance's first time dining with the gods. As they kissed, Brance leaned to one side of Caleb's body and strummed a hand down his lover's slender length. His fingers danced over familiar flesh, then curved around one meaty buttock to lift Caleb's leg, spreading him open. When Brance stroked between those legs, Caleb whimpered into him, his own hands cradling Brance's face.

With just his thumb, Brance toyed along the trembling skin at the center of Caleb's being. His lover's breath quickened; his hands fisted in Brance's thick beard to tug him down as Caleb's hips rose off the ground. Pleasure spiked between them when their hard cocks rubbed together, and Caleb pulled away long enough to sob, "Please. God, Brance, please ~"

Brance covered Caleb's mouth with his own, silencing him.
