Double Entendre by Mistress Black Rose

I was really intrigued by this book. I wanted to know more about the lifestyle of BDSM. I wanted to see if this would be something I would want to try. Especially since it was a Lesbian erotic novel which I barely see much of. I did like the “scene” they did, very steamy, but if felt the characters were a little flat. Kinda like the dialogue in a porn before they get down to business. (I usually fast forward through that part to get to the juicy parts) There was too much up and down with the character's emotions that I didn’t feel it being realistic. A friend training the main character to submit more to get her girlfriend back? Didn’t make too much sense. Felt like the author was making it go in so many directions that it really didn’t go straight to the point. Some of the chapters were very steamy, but some were too flat to really feel for the characters. Maybe too much plot and not enough emotion to feel for the characters.

Broken (Last Chance series #3) by A.L. Long

The series is getting more interesting. Lanie is kidnapped but her first unknown and is drugged so she has hardly any memory of her life before her abduction.
She has hardly any reconciliation of Roman or Martin. The problem with this book is the author keeps bringing back different characters involved with Lanie’s past and it gets confusing.
I did like how there was frustration from Roman on how he thought Lanie was gone forever. And the search for her through out the book was a mystery of not knowing where she was.
I would have liked a little more movement of showing how she was so close, yet so far away.
I think again enough is enough. This book could of been combined with book before. For some reason it just feels like the stories could of been put into one book instead of 5 or 6 short stories. But it was more entertaining to find how she was found. I think a little more explanation of how she was treated by the guys (again too confusing with all the characters who were involved with kidnapping her.)
On now to the next one to see how she is finding her way again.

Taken by A.L. Long

This book in the series got a little better moving through the chapters. Lanie is becoming more stronger character with her more female wants. W as a getting a little annoyed with the relationship between Martin and Roman. They were getting a little too repetitive through the book. I liked the end of the book with a surprise twist into the next book.

Bought by A.L. Long

It was an enjoyable read. It had great description of each character. Although we did not get the description of the man who took her from her father and kept her in his mansion attic for 15 years. Lanie was a woman who was captured when she was 5 to sell debt for her father. First of all, 20 years ago you wouldn’t believe that could actually happen. But in this day in age, yes absolutely could happen.

When Lanie was taken away from the world of being a submissive to the max, her life changed in an instant.

She was saved by a man named Roman. Who pretty much showed her the world in a week. He was semi-dominant but saw what kind of torture Lanie was living. She would shake at a noise, became startled when he tried to hold her hand. Eventually she grew accustom to being treated like a princess. Although the love scenes were nice, felt it was rushed a bit with her willing to give in so easily to him.

And the one thing Lanie wanted to know is if her father was still alive. They went to where she lived with her dad to find him. When Lanie’s dad turned out to be the complete opposite of what she remembered it can’t always end up all Peaches and Cream.

Although I liked how Roman was dominant in a caring way, still didn’t believe how you can quickly love a glorious woman of the bat. With the history of what she dealt through. I guess you can fall head over heels for someone with a lot of baggage. That seem to be the downfall for me. It was to rushed and I didn’t feel I was fully invested in each character as much as I would if of liked. It was a nice short sweet story with a HEA

Dirty News by Michelle Love

Dirty News by Michelle Love

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I usually love Michelle Love's novels. They are really hot and fun to read. I was a little disappointed in Dirty News. I just felt like the plot was unbelievable and just kept repeating itself over and over again. The situations were outrageous on how no one can touch another employee because it would be looked at like they were flirting. It just seemed like Love was stretching to find conflict in this story. But she sure can write the love scenes. I just felt like it was unbelievable just like a Hallmark holiday movie that is filmed in June and the snow is melting. I didn't hate it, just thought it needed a little more umph and less repeating the situation over and over again.
I received an ARC copy to give an honest review.

Jenna's Cookie Award: Insescapable Fate by Hanleigh Bradley

Although I hate cliffhangers, this is one that I CAN NOT WAIT until the next book. Bradley wrote such great characters from the get go. And the fun thing about it, you still don't know what is going on in the two lead characters Georgia and Trent. They are so closed with their background that when it finally unravels you get more and more into the story. And when they start to get closer and closer, you can imagine how they are looking at each other and that's what great. Bradley not only makes you imagine what she is explaining but you can imagine the way the characters smirks and look are like. And she doesn't force you to think it, her writing just flows so well that she's not forcing you to imagine, you just do it on your own. I love how she didn't even make you feel like you were reading a story. You were somehow living it with them.
I received an ARC for an honest review and can not wait until Hanleigh is done with her next one!

Jenna's Cookie Award: The Ruler by Elin Peer

When I'm reading this series, I want to put my full attention to it. Only read this book and not 5 others while I'm in the process of read Elin Peer's books. The reason for this is because it's like going into a different world that Peer has created with two different worlds colliding together. These worlds are one of a kind. Yes, you can say one world is bad and one world is good or it's the equivalent to heaven and hell. But there is just so much more in these detailed troublesome worlds on both ends that you just want to keep reading to see what happens.

And of course I have stayed up WAY past my bedtime a number of times with these journeys that I am taking. That is why I can't put them down. Knowing that, when I first was getting ill during the wonderful flu season I thought, “oh, that's perfect time for me to sit and relax and read.” Little did I know I wasn't able to because of all the sophisticated ways Peer writes, you don't want to miss any word in the sentence. Or you actually want to absorb what you just read instead of reading over the pages as many people do when they are taking a codeine cough medicine. So I had to stop. For a very long time. Four months to be exact.

But when I came back it took only two days to read it. The way Peer has the characters flow through the book. "The Mentor" was no different. It was like a battle of cat and mouse to see who will succumb first. Khan, the leader of the Nmen or Councilwoman Pearl a soft yet feisty woman who will not give up her power to anyone. Especially Khan. It was quite amusing with those two playing a game of tennis back and forth on flirting and hating each other and often doing both at the same time. Peer knows how to write sexual tension. A little too well. I was screaming in my head, "will you just tell them already!!!" And when they do, it almost comes out in the most unexpected places. I don't know if Peer is good more at sexual tension or taking the reader on a roller coaster ride where you don't know where the next drop is going to be.

I absolutely adore Peer's writing. It is like no other. Going through the journey through these worlds is always imaginative and wonderful. Like you want these worlds to exist. You never know what is going to happen, but you know it's going to be something magical.

So that it has taken me over 4 months to finish this book. I already purchased the next two because not only do I have to support a fellow author, she absolutely in my "book" (no pun intended) is one of the best writers I have had the joy of reading. Even though I am so far behind, I would keep reading as many as she is going to give.

But not with codeine cough syrup, that's for sure.😏
