 Two Lairds One Lady by John C Ryan
Publisher: Whisper Publishing
Genre: Historical, Romance, Medieval Scotland, Erotic Romance, Menage
Length: 467 pages
Summary:
Two Lairds, One Lady, a single betrothal. Things are about to get interesting.
The exquisitely beautiful, fiery Elspeth Mourney has been pledged in marriage to the arrogant, impossibly handsome Highland Knight, Sir Thayer Mac Court by her father, the Laird of Lothian. By proposing the marriage of his beloved only daughter to Thayer, the eldest son of his most bitter rival, the Earl has secured a tentative truce. But Elspeth vehemently opposes the match, having unceremoniously chanced upon Thayer six years earlier. That fateful first encounter culminated in a stolen kiss-and disaster!
Yet, as their destinies collide, they chance upon a common bond, a fiercely guarded secret shared by both of their clans. Will this mystery that binds the fates of their families to the very survival of Scotland save their love and ensure the future of their people-or doom them all?
Trixie’s Review:
 Set in Scotland during a time of constant warring, Two Lairds One Lady by John C. Ryan has an intriguing storyline. Needing to strengthen the clans of the Mourney and Mac Court families, a deal is struck. Problem is, one of the families has twin sons, with the eldest being a lady’s man to the nth degree. Thayer has spent his whole life fighting on the battlefield and seducing women on the playing field. He is not about to stop now, deal or no deal. Good thing he has a twin brother.
Elspeth appears at first to be a really strong character with great intuition, love for her family and animals, and acquiesces to her father’s wishes. Her character changes once there is a need for her to spend quite a bit of time with Thayer after an enemy attack. She loses her strength and turns into a sappy, love sick adolescent by her dialogue and actions.
Intriguing beginning, drawn out middle, but interesting finale that really ended 20 pages or so before the actual ending. A bit more fine tuning would have made this book a wonderful historical tale.

 One Hard Ride by M.M. Bordeaux
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Genre: Contemporary, Erotic Romance, Menage a Trois, M/F/M, Voyeurism
Length: 308 pages
Summary:
Amanda Sloane’s passion has been solely focused on becoming a well-respected, NYC art appraiser. With that appetite sated, she can no longer ignore her body’s carnal desires.
Tasked with authenticating an uncataloged Randell painting that could be worth millions, she meets a trio of Texas ranch hands who take her on an erotic ride imagined only in her deepest fantasy. Between ranch owners, Jake and Justin Morgan, and their ranch foreman, Luke, the cowboys ignite in Amanda a raging fire of uninhibited sexuality.
For years, the Morgan brothers have fought off their greedy cousin’s attempts to take their ranch, including poison and sabotage. Now, Jake is counting on the elegant and sophisticated art appraiser to authenticate his grandaddy’s painting to stave off foreclosure on the family ranch. Awakening the big city vixen’s sexual hunger has his body ablaze with need and his heart yearning for love.
Can Amanda give up the intoxicating pleasure of her sexual awakening? Or is Jake’s love unconditional enough to encourage her to continue her erotic odyssey?
This title contains: explicit language, anal sex, ménage a trios (m/f/m), and voyeurism.
Trixie’s Review:
Yeehawwwwwww! Those literally were the first words that came to mind as I read One Hard Ride by M.M. Bordeaux. Wild sex and passionate characters, mixed with an intriguing plot definitely lead to one hard ride! Amanda’s opportunity to go to Texas presents more than just a job. A total awakening of hidden passion is uncovered and like the saying goes, once it has been unleashed, there is no turning back!
From her first moment on the Morgan Ranch, Amanda is exposed to not only a stallion mating with his mare, but watching ranch hands get it on, turns her into a wild and wanton woman. Menage, anal, and downright lust await her as she uses her knowledge in the art and antiquities world to determine if the artifacts Justin and Jake have are worth the evil cousin that is trying to destroy everything they own.

 Passion Creek by Avery Flynn
Publisher: Evernight Publishing
Genre: Erotic, Contemporary Romance
Length: 164 pages
Summary:
Uptight history professor Sam Layton may have the abs of a movie action hero, but he stopped believing in the joy of adventure a long time ago. However, when a one-night stand with a tattooed bombshell leads to a treasure map for the long-buried Rebecca’s Bounty, the call to action is too strong to ignore.
All Las Vegas cocktail waitress Josie Winarsky wants to do is paint. But when she lands smack dab in the middle in a mob plot, she has to push aside her dreams to find a treasure in Dry Creek, Nebraska and save her family from harm. With Sam at her side and a Vegas loan shark on her tail, the treasure she finds turn out to be much more valuable than emeralds and rubies.
Trixie’s Review:
The saying goes that you find what you aren’t looking for when you least expect it. Sam Layton didn’t expect to find a woman that rocked his world along with having the power to put to rest a century old hunt for treasure. Josie Winarsky was as down on her luck as anyone could be. Having to make a choice between staying in Vegas and becoming an easy target for the mob or taking herself out of state to hunt for a hidden treasure, the answer should have been an easy one.
It would have been too, if Sam Layton hadn’t stuck his nose in her business along with her heart. Two tough characters who keep hidden dark secrets that make it hard for them to trust each other. Pushed together by fate, they have to depend on destiny to lead them safely around Passion Creek.
Avery Flynn’s third book on the Layton brothers doesn’t disappoint in her journey for two unlikely souls to find each other. Her characters are tough and full of real problems with real emotions. They love as fiercely as they tangle, which leads to powerful moments on their search for a treasure that will set them free.

 Double Bang! by KyAnn Waters and Tarah Scott
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance, Menage
Length: 30 pages
  
Summary:
Sara Martin has a problem. And it’s not the attraction she has for her co-worker Devon Curran…or the lust she feels for her sexy neighbor, Rigg.
Suddenly Devon doesn’t look happy. And that is a gun in his pocket.
Trixie’s Review:
Sara knows something is wrong with her boss’s security but she has no idea the security breech will get her up close and personal with not only Devon, a sexy coworker she has been eyeing or her equally scrumptious neighbor Rigg. What a delightful read this short story was. I love Tarah Scott’ and Kyann Waters and knew that together they would produce a story that wouldn’t disappoint.
Suspenseful from the first sentences, Double Bang! will leave you wishing there was more banging going on. Skeptical at first, Sara sets out to decide who is playing who in corporate espionage. What she didn’t count on was that both the guys she had the hots for would have them in return. A brief menage fulfilled her fantasy while a real relationship would make her world. Bad boy risk taker Rigg sets her on fire with just his looks while detailed delicious Devon yanks at her heart strings. For a fast paced read, Double Bang! has it all.

 One Shot by Laurie Roma
Series: IAD Agency, book # 2
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: Erotic Contemporary, Suspense
Length: 285 pages
Summary:
Tara Toshi is a woman on the edge. Code name “T-rex,” Tara is one of the elite agents of the IAD Agency, modern-day warriors tasked with taking down terrorists and keeping the world safe. She doesn’t believe that happily ever after exists for her, until her world collides with corporate tycoon Julian King.
Julian King is the owner of a multimillion dollar hotel empire and personally runs the Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. He is a man who rules his kingdom with an iron grip and knows that the house always wins. But when he meets agent Tara Toshi all bets are off. As a terrorist plot threatens his city, Julian realizes that he is also in jeopardy of losing his heart.
Passion explodes every time Tara and Julian come together, but can she risk taking this one shot at finding happiness and give her heart to a man she barely knows?
A Siren Erotic Romance
Trixie’s Review:
Tara Toshi is one bad girl and I don’t mean it in the traditional opposite kind of way. She really is bad, so bad that even the most fiercest dude is scared of her. I think I want to be her when I grow up, or at least for a Halloween costume. Men fall for her beautiful ethnic looks, but tend to be eaten up by her T-Rex attitude. She knows she is a bad ass and doesn’t need a man to make her whole.
That is until rich tycoon Julian King becomes involved in an operation she and her equally bad dudes are running out of his Vegas casino. Julian falls hard for the gun toting, ball busting agent. I definitely want to be her when she rides elevators with that stud!!! Let’s just say, “YOWZA!” doesn’t do it justice. Laurie Roma definitely caught my eye with her powerful elevator lust scene that was tastefully, yet seductively written. I felt like I was right there being a voyeur along with the elevator cam.
One Shot is the second book in Ms. Roma’s IAD suspense series. It is nonstop action filled with secondary characters that had better be getting their own stories soon!! Impressive characters that have full bodied emotions and have been so well written that you would swear you know them. On point, funny, and well written dialogue add to the flow of this wonderful gem of a novel. I am looking forward to finding the rest of this series and catching up with old friends.

 Under Pressure by Laurie Roma
Series: IAD Agency, book #1
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: Erotic Contemporary, Suspense
Length: Word Count: 66,319
Summary:
Jason MacBain is the perfect agent. Tall, dark, and deadly, he is a man who lives by simple rules—kill the bad guys and protect the world. Closed off from his emotions, Jason has never believed in love and doesn’t need anyone. But all that changes the night he meets Bella Moretti…
Isabella Moretti is a famous chef struggling to reclaim her life after she survives a vicious attack. Moving back to Chicago to recover and be closer to her family, Bella meets Jason and is frightened by the passion he stirs inside her. But now that Jason has found Bella, he is determined to claim her as his. And when her stalker reappears, Jason is under pressure to gain her trust, find a way to keep her safe, and do whatever it takes to end the threat to her for good.
Bella is forced to trust Jason with her safety, but does she dare trust him with her heart?
Trixie’s Review:
Under Pressure is book one in Laurie Roma’s IAD suspense series. They do not need to be read in order as the characters are well explained, but it does help with learning about their mission from the beginning. Strong characters and sub characters make this series seem real and bring their story to life.
Jason McBain definitely fits the nickname of Iceman given to him by his fellow agents. Strong, tough, cocky, arrogant, hard bodied, sinfully sexy, and rule follower to the max. So why is it he can’t seem to let go of a fellow agent’s sister Bella? Unexpected fireworks went off the night they met and he is determined to keep them going off. Isabella is a tough cookie herself who doesn’t backdown from her tough brothers or the guy who apparently runs the agency they work for.
Under Pressure is the perfect title for a story that has a love that is on the brink of bursting. Ms. Roma writes erotic scenes that make you sit up and take notice. She has a knack for reaching the characters’ inner emotions and pulling them to the center of her writing. Emotional characters and erotic suspense are definitely ingredients that when mixed together cause you to tingle to your toes. Under Pressure is an intriguing ride with new excitement in every chapter.

 Shifting Snows by Brynn Paulin
Series: Phases Series, Book 12
Publisher: Resplendence Publishing
Genre: Paranormal, Erotic Romance, Menage
Length: 69 pages
Summary:
When photographer, Macy Lawson, climbs Mount Elbert to take pictures, she doesn’t expect to come face to face with a snow leopard, an animal that shouldn’t be roaming the Colorado Rockies, let alone the United States. The animal charges her, but Sorin Tavian appears out of nowhere to save her. He takes her home to escape a coming blizzard and introduces her to his partner, Danel and their friends Calin and Abel.
Soon, Macy discovers Sorin prefers to share his women with these men, and they all want her. Far from home and stranded in the wilderness, she decides to take the leap, live a fantasy and try out ménage.
But Sorin has a couple secrets he hasn’t shared. He didn’t save Macy from a snow leopard. He is the snow leopard. There’s a strong possibility Macy’s his mate, and if that’s true, home will be with him and Danel, not in some far off city where leopards can’t roam free.
Trixie’s Review:
From the moment Sorin pounced on Macy, I knew this was going to be one fun ride, I mean read. A snow leopard with a pack of equally hot brothers has to be the ultimate fantasy for any female stuck in the Colorado Rockies during a blizzard. Macy thought she was just going to take some pictures, she had no idea the photos that would be stuck in her mind when she had to return to reality. Would they be strong and vivid enough to keep her with the pack?
Brynn Paulin’s Shifting Snows is a captivating story of a shifter and his brothers love for a woman who was in the right place at the right time. Macy was a woman full of independence. Going off into the mountains alone told us that she was not afraid to search for what was out there. Shifting Snows was a fun story with characters who were equally entertaining.

 Belonging to the Steer Brothers by Sam Crescent
Series: Cape Falls, Book #2
Publisher: Evernight Publishing
Genre: Contemporary, Erotic Romance, Menage a Trois, M/F/M, May/December Romance, Rubenesque
Length: 519 pages
Summary:
Cape Falls, 2
Welcome to Cape Falls, a town with old-fashioned values.
When Anna Myer’s parents died in a car accident, David and Paul Steer took her in and cared for her. For years she nursed a crush for the two men, only to be rejected and pushed away.
Crushed with the rejection and believing the Steer Brothers could never love her the way she wanted, Anna left Cape Falls.
Three years passed since she left the men she loved. Anna returns with a new determination and she knows the secret that David and Paul tried to keep away from her.
There is a rumor that the Steer men share one woman. Anna wants to be that woman.
Can she prove to Paul and David she is the woman they need? Can her men overcome their fears? And after so long of being alone will she finally belong to the Steer brothers?
Be Warned: menage sex (MFM), bondage, anal sex.
Trixie’s Review:
You don’t need to have read book 1 of this series to be able to follow along with Belonging to the Steer Brothers by Sam Crescent. Anna’s parents died and Paul and David took her in as their ward. As she began to grow, she realized she had fallen for them and left to prevent her heart from truly being crushed. All of the interactions between these three took place after she had reached adulthood.
The characters themselves have great attributes that aren’t fully developed but are clear enough that make you realize they should be together. While the characters have great chemistry and their lust for each other is palpable, there are some major issues with the book. I am not sure if these were corrected before it was released to the public, but my copy has severe grammatical, spelling, and context issues that prevent this from being a higher rated book. While the story line itself is not the problem, being able to follow along and understand what was going on at times was difficult to follow.

 Betrayed by Alyssa Fox
Series: Sizzling Nights, 2
Publisher: Evernight Publishing
Genre: Contemporary, Erotic Romance, BDSM, Menage a Trois, Sex Toys, Anal Sex
Length: 143 pages
Summary:
Tasha Thomas’s life has been turned upside down. One day at work she finds evidence that her boss, the mayor, is heading up a sex ring. She’s in over her head. He sends his men after her for knowing too much information, so she runs to her husband Alex for help.
Alex is shocked to see his wife, who left months ago, on his doorstep. He’s never gotten over her leaving. Now he vows to protect her with his very last breath. Except all the evidence points to her being guilty of being the head of the sex ring his FBI team has been trying to bring down. Can he prove her innocence and show her that they still belong together before he loses her for good?
Be Warned: anal sex, sex toys, menage sex, BDSM
Trixi’s Review:
The storyline and blurb of Betrayed by Alyssa Fox grabbed me from the beginning. An FBI agent’s wife returns after eight months to try and make amends while still running from the terror that caused her to leave in the first place. While this story has great sizzling sex scenes, including a hot menage one, the depth of the story left me lacking. The characters themselves have the potential to pull you within their pages to assist them as they try and resolve the issues that have destroyed their marriage.
Alex is a tough agent who tends to live his work at home. There never appeared to be a trust between his wife and him from the very onset. He likes to dominate in the bedroom and that is where their sparkle and chemistry is felt. Sexual tension is developed very well by Alyssa Fox as her characters demand fulfillment.
At times the transitioning from past to present was unclear and left me with many unanswered questions. The dialogue was at times questionable in terms of realism. I enjoyed the tense moments at the end of the story, but even part of those scenes appeared contrived and not very well thought out.
If you are looking for powerful sex scenes to entertain you, then Betrayed by Alyssa Fox is for you.

 Beauty by Sophie Oak
Series: A Faery Story, Book 3
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand, Inc.
Genre: Fantasy, Erotic Romance, M/M, M/M/F
Length: 312 pages
Summary:
In one horrifying night, Bronwyn Finn lost her family, her kingdom, and the princes who had haunted her dreams for years. Left alone, years pass as she fights for survival and craves revenge against the uncle who took everything from her. But she’s never forgotten her Dark Ones.
A tragedy marred Lach and Shim McIver’s future. The future kings of the Unseelie Fae are obsessed with finding their promised wife—Bronwyn. Lach and Shim have never stopped believing that Bronwyn is their mate. She is the bond that connects the halves of their shared soul.
With the blessing of the renegade kings, Beck and Cian Finn, Lach and Shim begin a dangerous quest to find their bride before Torin and his hags take her life.
Across two planes, a war will rage. Lives will be lost. Love will be found. And the Seelie Fae will welcome their true kings home.
Trixie’s Review:
Sophie Oak’s newest venture into the Faery world brings us a bit of closure as we finally meet the long lost Finn and what a meeting it is! Bronywyn has had passion filled dreams of two princes for years, but nothing prepared her for their in person flaming charisma. Lach and Shim will stop at nothing to make Bronwyn theirs and that means venturing onto Earth. Delightful writing pieces Ms. Oak’s Blissful characters with her Faery ones. Hilarious adventures and dialogue await us all as the two worlds collide.
Lach and Shim have their own unique Faery skills to go along with their machismo appeal. Beauty really made me laugh out loud at times. Great to see humor mixed in with romance and a story line that while not completely realistic, is definitely entertaining as well as remarkably written. I am constantly amazed at how in depth Ms. Oak’s characters are and to what extent I find myself enjoying them.
If you haven’t read any of Sophie Oak’s other Faery books, you will still be able to understand Beauty: A Faery Story 3 and will find yourself wanting to go back and fill yourself in on the rest of the Seelie clan and their family. While this story has underlying mini stories within it, the power of the love between Bronwyn and her men keeps the focus on them. Whether you like fairy tales of the classic sort, fantasy, or even erotica, Beauty has a great blend of all three. Settle in for a trip through several planes to find that love can not be stopped.

 A Pirate’s Kiss by Temple Hogan
Series: Pirate’s Booty Series, Book Six
Publisher: Resplendence Publishing
Genre: Historical, Erotic Romance
Length: 93 pages
Summary:
Faith Barnett sets out on a voyage to India to find her missionary father, only to end up prisoner on the dreaded pirate ship, Satan’s Spawn. All hope seems lost until the handsome pirate captain, Hunter Reid, rescues her from the desires of his crew. But who sill save her from him? Especially when she longs for his kisses.
Hunter Reid is too preoccupied to take care of an old-maid missionary. He’s on an undercover mission from the British Admiralty to help unearth the notorious pirate, Captain Kidd. But Hunter is drawn to the courageous woman, who proposes an arrangement he can’t turn down. Faith gives him more than he ever imagined, but when his life becomes the prize, will she come to his rescue or leave him to face the hangman’s noose?
Trixie’s Review:
Love pirates, Arrrghhhhh and Hunter Reid is no exception. Undercover British agent posing as a hard-nosed sexy Pirate captain, what else could be hotter?
Faith Barnett is off to see her father after her mother’s death when her ship is overtaken by a pirate crew. Rescued from his men’s wandering lusty eyes and hands, she finds herself locked in his cabin. Falling for a pirate wasn’t in her plans as she had hoped to be a missionary like her father in India.
A Pirate’s Kiss is a fun historical romance full of pirates, deception, and steamy sex. Hunter falls for Faith despite his attempts at not being charmed by her and her yearning for him. A Pirate’s Kiss definitely got me hooked on Temple Hogan’s style of writing. The interaction with the pirates and the captain needed a little bit more violence or development of his power over his men to be truly palpable, but the storyline itself was entertaining and full of passionate moments. There were so many horny pirates who hadn’t had a woman in months that the altercation between the captain and his crew didn’t feel genuine.
Faith’s character was developed a bit more than Hunter’s and her actions and reactions were believable. It was great to see Faith show her toughness as she has to take matters into her own hands to save him from being declared a murdering pirate spy. A Pirate’s Kiss by Temple Hogan is an interesting story that had me thinking of hot, seductive pirates!

 Candy’s Kisses by Carys Weldon
Publisher: The Wild Rose Press
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Length: 400 pages
Summary:
City girl Candy Merrill can’t see herself falling for a country bumpkin. But her best friend’s cousin, Levi Bishop is hard to resist in his tight jeans and country charm. This has to be lust at first sight…because it couldn’t possibly be love.
It’s been a long time since Levi has kissed a woman as sweet as candy. And this Candy is looking for a guy who can kiss her socks off. Levi’s never been afraid of a challenge. But after one kiss, he’s hooked on sweets. Now he’ll just need to get Candy to see past their differences and show her she needs him for more than kisses.
Trixie’s Review:
Every once in a while a book comes along that makes you stop and say, Wow, what a story. Candy’s Kisses by Carys Weldon is one of those stories. I was honestly pleasantly surprised by the pull of this story because of the hot pink title and lip imprints on the front cover of a deliciously, studly chest. And with a title like Candy’s Kisses, just how deep could this book be?
I kind of feel like Gomer Pyle right now, saying Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. The first page didn’t hook me like some stories. It seemed to drag a bit until the hero shows up and the fun begins. Levi is a lovable loner of a cowboy with a sadder than sad past who is set up on a blind date by his cousin. Funny thing is she has set her best friend up with all of her cousins and tonight it is Levi’s turn.
Candy, originally I had to cringe, is a woman looking for a man who is willing to make her the center of his universe. Who in the world would ever believe one date, 24 hours long could possibly hold the key to your future? Anyone who has ever fallen in love. When you fall, you fall fast and that is what happens to Candy and Levi. But can a bunch of smelly cows, cousins with tough right hooks, and babies at every turn keep these two lovers together or will the lifestyle tear them apart?
I have never read characters with dialogue like this. Fast, witty, on point, current, and palpable are all words I would use to describe the dynamics between Candy and Levi. I am still amazed at how this story is wonderfully told in 24 hours, with characters that have so much electricity between them it is a miracle the farm didn’t go up in a blaze of glory. For an unbelievable read, Candy’s Kisses is the book to read.

 The Erotic Dark by Nina Lane
Publisher: Self Published
Genre: Erotica, BDSM
Length: 120 Pages
Summary:
Submission is her only escape…and punishment takes many forms. Seeking escape from her criminal past, a desperate woman enslaves herself to a dark trio of men who own an antiquated Louisiana plantation. Known only as Lydia, she becomes controlled by three very different men – the malicious Preston, the inflexible Kruin, and the gentle Gabriel, all of whom introduce her to a world in which the lines between pleasure, pain, and shame are irrevocably blurred.
The plantation becomes both Lydia’s haven and her prison as she surrenders to the desires of her unholy trinity. Lydia’s submission is fraught with tension and hunger, but what happens when the outside world enters her dark, anonymous sanctuary?
Trixie’s Review:
The Erotic Dark was definitely an erotic read. The reader is kept guessing through most of the story as to the whole circumstances of the characters, their home, and their lives. For readers looking for a happy, positive, energetic read this is not for you. While this book is very intriguing, has erotic scenes galore, it is full of submissive, dark, agonizing moments.
Scene after erotic, dark scene, I pondered how much is real, how much is a dream? What keeps Lydia wanting more and more? In The Erotic Dark , a very well-written tale of dark needs and dominating one into submission await you as Lydia explores her own needs and what makes her tick. She explores herself through three truly different men and learns so much about her own wants and needs from each one.
This was a plot line that I had never read about before and I found it very enjoyable and entertaining. The Erotic Dark was published previously as To Disappear.

Genre: Contemporary, Erotic Romance, Menage a Trois, Western/Cowboys, M/F/M, Bondage, Sex Toys, Figging
Length: 40,731 words
Summary:
Siren Ménage Everlasting: Erotic Cowboy Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, bondage, sex toys, figging]
Lucy Malone is going home to Tennessee. A world away from the stock car racing limelight, the Church Hill farm Lucy reclaims is full of bittersweet memories. As the distant and recent past collide, Lucy rediscovers a love she never lost and professional ties she’s unable to leave behind.
Rex and Luke McDavid have been awaiting Lucy’s return. When she finds her way home, they’re ready to pick up where they left off and claim the woman they’ve always adored.
Unfortunately, before the McDavids can move forward, a villain from Lucy’s professional past resurfaces. Can the McDavid brothers keep Lucy safe and protect her from those hell-bent on destroying her? And what extreme measures will these good ole boys take in order to protect the woman they love?
Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings.
A Siren Erotic Romance
Trixie’s Review:
A successful stock car company owner returns home to try and settle down with the two dominant horse farmer brothers next door. Lucy took off years ago because the brothers made a dumb mistake. Interesting read until the characters hooked up again and then the plot became a little unbelievable and lost its charm. However, lots of fun Southern references and expressions made Sex Drive enjoyable read.
Two dominant brothers with a housekeeper who encourages their dominance by pushing them towards their old flame was a little out of character, but ok, I accepted it. However, when a successful woman who owns a major stock car company decides after one night back with the old flames that she’s willing to turn her company over to the oldest in order to concentrate on starting a family, it seemed somewhat unrealistic that this tough woman would so easily give up everything that she had worked so hard to achieve in life.
While I struggled with the idea of Lucy giving up everything so quickly, Natalie Acres did incorporate lots of steamy, erotic sex scenes to fill the void of the thin plot. Ms. Acres always writes hot menages and she doesn’t miss the boat this time with her erotica scenes in Sex Drive.

 Playing Four Keeps by Kris Norris
Publisher: Resplendence Publishing
Genre: Erotic Contemporary, Ménage Romance
Length: Novel
Summary:
If two’s company and three’s a crowd, then four is bound to be…deadly.
Special Agent Reese Bailey has a new assignment…one not under the jurisdiction of the federal bureau. She’s been hired to identify the person trying to kill the members of one of the hottest rock bands hitting the charts, and three of the hottest men she’s ever laid eyes on. Keeping her distance would be hard if she wasn’t certain they’d come to the same conclusion as all her past encounters…she’s just too different to make the cut.
Mace, Nash and Landon aren’t sure what to think of the incredibly smart federal agent who walks into their life, and into their hearts, they only know she’s the one they’ve been waiting for. It’s clear she’s a professional, not to mention a child protégé who can read their body language while figuring projectile paths in her head. And she’s not one to mix duty with pleasure.
But they aren’t taking no for an answer, not when their souls are on the line. Reese proves to be everything they’ve ever imagined and more. But the stakes are higher than any of them realize and if she can’t track down the stalker in time, the boys won’t be the only ones playing for keeps.
Trixie’s Review:
Three sexy studly musicians and one female federal agent? Definitely a winner from the word go!
Our female heroine Reese is tough, sexy, sensitive, and smarter than every male agent around her. When she has to provide security for a trio of hot rock star bodies, her feminine side blossoms. Playing Four Keeps was humorous, suspenseful, exciting, and erotically rewarding.
This whodunit novel keeps the reader guessing from the very beginning. Kris Norris’s skill of writing snappy dialogue mixed with explosive scenes kept me on the edge of my seat to learn more. I was impressed with the writer’s knowledge of the special agent world. Her realistic scenes made for a fast-paced read mixed with three yummy males looking to sex up the federal agent at every turn. Three heroes with three distinct personalities really brought this delicious novel to life. There was not a dull moment in this action packed erotic novel.

 Game Misconduct by Bianca Sommerland
Series: The Dartmouth Cobras, Book One
Publisher: Self-Published
Genre: Contemporary, Erotic Romance, BDSM, Menage a Trois, Voyeurism, Bondage
Length: 314 pages
Summary:
The game has always cast a shadow over Oriana Delgado’s life. She should hate the game. But she doesn’t. The passion and the energy of the sport is part of her. But so is the urge to drop the role of the Dartmouth Cobra owner’s ‘good daughter’ and find a less…conventional one.
Playmaker, Max Perron, never expected a woman to accept him and his twisted desires. Oriana came close, but he wasn’t surprised when she walked away. A girl like her needs normal. Which he can’t give her. He’s too much of a team player, and not just on the ice.
But then Oriana’s father goes too far in trying to control her and she decides to use exposure as blackmail. Just the implication of her spending the night with the Cobra’s finest should get her father to back off.
Turns out a team player is exactly what she needs.
Warning: This ebook contains material not suitable for readers under 18. In also contains scenes
that some may find objectionable, including BDSM, ménage sex, bondage, anal sex, sex toys, double penetration, voyeurism, edge play, and hockey equipment being used inappropriately.
Trixie’s Review:
I have to say that I read The Dartmouth Cobras series out of order and I am really glad I did because if I had read GAME MISCONDUCT first, I might not have read its follow up right away. Not because the book wasn’t interesting or intriguing, but because the storyline in Defensive Zone was tighter. I think because of the multitude of men in this novel, the storyline becomes entangled and messy at times. GAME MISCONDUCT is an amazing tale of one woman’s realization that her man really treats her poorly and the fellow, or fellows as it turns out, in the shadows is really worth her taking a second glance.
Bianca Sommerland is a talented author who really grabs the reader with powerful erotic scenes along with a storyline that is multi-dimensional. Oriana, our heroine, wasn’t my kind of feminine character in the beginning because of her well-written descriptions of herself. Letting people walk all over her and basically use her made me want to reach in and shake her.
But then came several tough Dom hockey player jocks and Oriana seemed to finally learn about herself and her sadomasochistic calling and yearning for domination and pain. This book is not for anyone who cringes at pain. However; the tasteful BDSM scenes took readers to the sizzling edge with atypical toys and erotic play. Looking for a chance to be mischievious, then GAME MISCONDUCT is for you!

A Siren Erotic Romance
Trixie’s Review:
I love westerns and hot cowboys any day of the week. The title of this book is a catchy one, but didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Two hot undercover law men are trying to find a notorious female outlaw and her band of bad guys.
The Good, The Bad, and The Naughty by Jessica Frost has great moments of believable story line with on target dialogue and humor. However, the action took a little bit to actually get going and at times the Texas Rangers didn’t live up to their sexy studliness. The female outlaw was portrayed as expected and the ending had a nice rise in the action and was surprisingly better written than the beginning which seemed to drag out a tad too long.
I enjoyed the interaction between the Rangers and the saloon singer and t times, Belle seemed like she was definitely running the show. Overall, The Good, The Bad, and The Naughty by Jessica Frost is an entertaining read.
