Alura decides that its time for Melody to be transformed into her true self. Alura, sacrifices Melody's body to the gods of the Rock. This was an intense BDSM story. It surprised and shocked me. I couldn't put it down until I found out what happened to Melody and Alura. It's a great adult read for everyone who enjoys reading BDSM stories. The only thing I wish it had was more of was the back story, but that's just for my own curiosity.

Can these girls get a break?? They get themselves into the most unexpected situations. One would think this is so unlikely to happen, but now that I have read two in the series I can totally see it happening to these girls. In the midst of tragedy Aster still manages to make me laugh. I felt bad laughing at the characters, but still couldn't help myself. I love the story reading like you're just having an afternoon of girl talk. I also enjoyed that perspective of another character. The story is centered around, Taddy, and her quest to obtain money for college tuition and of course losing her virginity. I have to admit that I am hooked!!! I need to find out what happens to these friends. I am also hoping to see one centered around everyone's favorite GBF.

While traveling to the new world Frederica Beauchamp encounters pirates. They killed the crew and passengers of the ship she was traveling on. She was saved by a pirate that convinced the captain that she could come in handy on the ship. She becomes a slave to the captain and left to his whim. They pirate crew found a man out at sea, Gaston Galette. "But you are inherently naughty girl, and sometimes I'm not sure what to do with you" he said a playful note in his voice. He teaches her how to pleasure him and introduces her to pleasures she had never experienced before.This is an adult only story. I have to admit I felt uncomfortable during some the scenes while she is held captive on the pirate ship. The story is also told in third person. I thought the third person view left me a little confused about why characters reacted in the way they did. However, I believe that is just a personal preference. It's a good story overall and very steamy for those who enjoy it.

This is a great story about a family facing a life changing problem. Two brothers and their wives meet for dinner to discuss the problem and how they will handle it. During the evening we get a look at the back story. The sibling rivalry and the other issues that have come up with the families in the past. I have to admit for me it was a little slow and I really had to be in the mood to get into it, but it was well worth it!! Parts of the explanation at the time seemed to drag on and was meaningless, but in the end it was all needed to fully understand the decision the adults make and the actions of their children. "Secrets didn't get in the way of happiness." This one line from the book really made me think. Can secrets get in the way of happiness in a family?

What do you do when you have a naughty fairy tale character? Is she strong willed, lies, or puts herself in danger? You take her to the Spa N K where Master Wolfe will spank her into submission. This book is ADULT ONLY. Jillian and Jake need to find mates so they travel to the matchmaker. On the way Jake takes a tumble down a hill (sound familiar) and Mr. Wolfe stumbles on two and takes them back to his home to get Jake help. While there Jillian is thrown into a world she had never been introduced to before. Jillian remembers, "The spanking he had given her- her first ever- would always be in her mind as the event that opened her eyes to the outside world, and she hadn't disliked it as much as she should have." This story made me laugh at loud at times and really it's just a cute little story, with some slap tickle along the way. So let Master Wolfe open your eyes to a new way of looking at all those fairy tale characters.

Saga of the Wildling Volume One: Fire and Stone

         

By Zoe Melville

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/414675

This story catches you right from the start. A story about Dreanna a wilding of the forest. This is an adult book and over 18 is recommended. She is escorting a group with a mage through the woods. She becomes attracted to her and watches as the mage uses her powers to create her own personal lover from the flames of a campfire. After sneaking away from the mage she finds herself alone in the woods where she finds a statue overgrown with vines. She out that this statue has been cursed and is actually a living man. He has no idea how long he has been cursed but tells her the tale of what happened the day he became stone. He tells her about his betrothed that he was showing countryside to. "Melody was beautiful - that is not in any doubt - but the sight of her delicate features, her shining hair, her willowy form, raised in anger against me... I suddenly realized the spirit that was in her, and I knew then that I would never feel for anyone as I felt for Melody." They begin a quest to find his home, his love, and the one who cursed him. That is where it ends and it killed me!! I can't wait to read about these two and can imagine the trouble they get into. It's a sexy tale of curses and magic that shouldn't be missed.

I was given a free copy for an honest review. This was a great story with so many twists and turns it had me on the edge of my seat. I couldn't put it down till the end. I loved the dream sequences. It was interesting to see how each time it happened you found out a little more about her past. The was she found out was wow. I still think there is more to find out about the link the two lead characters have. Maybe I'm just hoping for more in the series, but seems like not everything was revealed. Can't wait to read the next one to find out more about this great and unexpected couple.

http://www.amazon.com/Krystal-Wade/e/B0082RYLB2/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_pop_1

I did enjoy the book as a whole. However, it seems it could of been pushed more. I love the idea of the story and how it's unfolding . A girl is raised not knowing who and what she really is. She enters the world that she is from and finds out who is actually is. She finds her true love and her calling. I will read the next book, because I am curious what is coming next. I am just not "dying" to read it now. So I did like it, but didn't love it. Great for young readers.

So wasn't sure what I was going to find in this story. I can say what is in this story is not what I thought I should expect. It's about a man who wants to protect and care for the woman he loves. Yes it is within the BDSM community and the competition is intriguing. I can't wait to read the next installment! Thank you Lucian. ADULT ONLY book.

I was given this book for a honest review. I didn't think much about this book since it wasn't very long, but I was wrong. Williams doesn't take the story slow at all. She throws the reader in there feet first. It caught my attention right away and then ending left me wanting more. I can't wait for the next installment. A couple meets online one lies about everything about themselves while the other seemingly tells them the truth. When they run into each other by accident the result is worth the read! This book for ADULTS ONLY

I was given a copy for an honest review. When I first read the prologue I didn't think I was going to like the book. As I continued reading that was it for me. I knew I wasn't going to bed anytime soon. I stayed up past 1 AM till I finished the book. Within a couple of chapters I wanted to be Laura's friend. She was so much fun and a free spirit I could see myself hanging out with her. The story was about the first true love. The kind of love that doesn't change no matter how much time and what else you may encounter in your life. I was guessing right up to the end of the book. I thought I knew what was going to happen, but the author kept surprising me and Icouldn't put it down. I am so looking forward to her next book!!
