MY REVIEW:

 

Golden Change was an amazing Sci-Fi ménage romance! I haven't read a lot of Sci-Fi romances, but the ones I have read I really liked. To say I liked this book is putting it VERY mildly though. I actually LOVED this book and think this has got to be one of my new favorites of this year.

The characters are sexy, sassy, and perfect for this story. Its incredibly well written with some steamy, erotic sex and lots of wonderful moments in-between. I am now putting Lynn B. Davidson down as a MUST BUY author.

The descriptions of both the surroundings and the characters are incredible. There are so many delightful details that are easy to imagine because Miss. Lynn described everything to perfection. From the color of skin, to the clothes that Jacob, Aiden, and Kylie wear. I was truly amazed and delighted with Golden Change. It was a sensual, erotic delight!

I give Golden Change a FULL FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS!! I can't wait to read the next book... and the next one after that and so on.

  

ARC Review of Lessons of Trust by Eileen Green

 

 

BLURB:

 

Shy Riley Whitten achieves her goal of writing a Hollywood movie. When she arrives for the filming, she finds her heartthrob Matt Davis has been chosen as the lead. Matt and his lover Travis Hale begin to shower Riley with their love and attention. Not understanding why they are pursuing her, she fights them every step of the way.

 

Matt and Travis have been looking for a woman to round out the family they want to be. Falling in love at first sight with Riley, they overwhelm her, not only with their love, but also with something she hadn’t expected. With the roles Matt plays on television and in the movies, Riley had always thought Matt would be the dominant one. She makes the discovery that Travis is the Dom and Matt his submissive. Bringing her into their little family, they try to mold her submissive side.

Will they succeed at proving their love for her? Or will she disappoint them?

MY REVIEW:

 



Lessons Of Trust was SOOOO good! I was really pleased and satisfied with this story.  The characters felt so real. With real emotions, problems, and baggage that sometimes I found myself forgetting it was a book.

Riley is a firecracker with a vulnerable-ness to her that is sweet. She is a strong female character that I ADORED. She is curvy, feisty, sometimes a bitch when necessary, yet she had a lot of inner issues that most women today face. Like the problems she sees with her body. I enjoyed reading about a heroine that has issues with her body because its not every day you get to read a story where the heroine is full figured with lots of gorgeous curves. Especially when not one, but two hot studs find her just irresistible and sexy as hell.

It was so sensual to find that Matt and Travis are lovers and want to add sexy Riley into their love triangle. Its not too often you can find a bisexual couple that wants to add a third to the party in romances often. So when I do find one, I am instantly drawn to it.

The sex in Lessons of Trust was downright arousing and erotic as can be. This book had so much going for it that I was devastated to watch it end. Its a delicious read, with lots of "REAL" characters, sensual moments, and steamy raw sex. Plus with all the male hotness, there really was a LOT to love about this story.

I give Lessons of Trust a FULL FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS! Its a well thought out story with sexy scenes and realistic problems and characters that truly brought out the beauty of this book. I am AMAZED with such a tempting read as Lessons Of Trust turned out to be.

ARC Review of Anita's Triple Temptation by Eileen Green

BLURB:

 

After tragedy strikes, Anita Cummings is left to raise her three children on her own. Or, so she thought. The day her life took a tragic turn became a new beginning of love, friendship, and a new experience into the world of polyamorous relationships upon meeting the crew from the Circle G ranch.

 

Dave Olson, James Bowman, and Kevin Tisdale have set their sights on the grieving woman. Through the months they show her their love for her is real, and now it is time to claim her.

They prove to her that they will provide for her and protect her, but can she open up her own heart to the three men and trust them with her boys? Everyone at the Circle G is there to help, and when danger comes calling again, dragging her and one of her men into its clutches, can they work together to save them?

MY REVIEW:

 Menage Romances are one of the my ultimate favorite romances I enjoy reading about. Anita's Triple Temptation was a great book in the ménage department. I really liked Dave Olson, James Bowman, and Kevin Tisdale. They are sexy, dominating heroes that want to do nothing but take care of their woman, Anita and keep her safe.
Anita threw me off a bit. Don't get me wrong, I liked the fact she was a widowed mother with three children but I found her a bit...weak. I totally get the fact she lost her husband recently in the book, but I didn't understand fully why she was so embarrassed over the fact she got a job as a waitress at the Tipsy Tavern and ended up getting hit by a rich jerk who thought Anita should be his. . Even if the job included her wearing such skimpy clothes.
It was also a bit of  an overkill to see such a heroine go into a panic attack over the death of her husband, several months after he died, especially when it seemed, he was a complete jerk to her and also because his death happened at his job. She shouldn't of felt so guilty about something that is in no way her fault that she needed a sedative to calm down and ended up in the hospital. I do agree she should of felt some guilt (it would of been wrong if she didn't feel a margin of guilt) seeing three men shortly after his death but to feel completely ashamed and being so tortured over it just didn't sit too well with me.
I did wish we got to see more POVs with James and Kevin. The majority of the book was done (it seemed) in Dave's POV and I just kept thinking James and Kevin were just on the sidelines and was mainly there in the sex scenes. Although Anita's Triple Temptation had a few issues for me, it was still an enjoyable, erotic, sensual read. For me, this book was still quite delicious and was worth reading. I did end up really liking the story and can't wait to read Eileen Green's other stories.
I give Anita's Triple Temptation a FOUR OUT OF FIVE STARS. If your looking for a ménage romance with SPICE, then pick up Anita's Triple Temptation and get your kink on.
 



ARC Review of Crashed by Dawn Robertson

 

 

BLURB:

 

One Thing Emily Taylor has always longed for is a happily ever after. After a series of losses, betrayals, and a few crap-tastic dating experiences, she has settled into a simple life which includes little more than her cat, work, and a foul-mouthed best friend. Then, she meets Avery....
Avery Martin is a simple man, a country boy at heart who is working at his dream job as a fireman. When he responds to a nasty car accident, he is immediately taken with the petite blonde he finds pinned in the wreckage. Crossing professional lines, he strikes up a friendship with her.
But can they settle for friendship when their forever is staring them in the face?
Or will an ex with a vendetta drive them apart?

 

MY REVIEW:

 

Crashed I liked IMMENSLY. The first chapter caught my attention immediately with Emily Taylor dreaming of a man making love to her. It just captures right away how lonely she is and how she is still holding on to hope for her dream man.

After crashing her car, sexy fireman Avery Martin comes to the rescue and soon he finds himself drawn to Emily. Feelings continue to grow between them as they spend more time with each other. I do feel that these two fell in love with each other from the start. Which is romantic as hell for me.

This book is a steady, slow build from friendship to love. Avery is attentive and sexy, and caring while Emily is hope full, sweet, pretty, and yet a tad on the wary side.

Crashed was a well written book with likeable characters and a charming storyline. Its realistic and sexy, and totally enjoyable. Giving this book a full FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS was no hardship and I did it happily. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that has a mind to listen and enjoys steamy, contemporary romance featuring a sexy fireman.

ARC Review of Guardian of My Soul by Emily A. Lawrence

 

 

BLURB:

 

Start the Series with The Guardian of My Soul, Book 1 in the Soul's Desire Kristen Mancuso, daughter of a renowned fashion designer has everything her heart desires, and yet she's still unhappy. After her father's death, her mother's overprotectiveness has prevented Kristen from choosing her own path in life, and she often feels as if she's a prisoner in her own home. Kristen thought her twenty-first birthday would magically bring her the freedom she craved. She was wrong. When her mother hires Alec Warner to be her personal bodyguard, Kristen rebels against it, unaware of the true reasons why he's needed and the very real danger threatening her safety. Having someone shadow her every move is the last thing she wants. Alec is handsome, intimidating and determined to stand between Kristen and anyone who would harm her. Kristen doesn't know what to do with Alec. She's drawn to him, and while he is committed to his job, he refuses to allow her to control him the way she does with other men. Their relationship is volatile and explosive, yet they discover they have more in common than they ever dreamed. Together they face demons from their past and secrets which could tear them apart. Alec and Kristen fight their attraction for one another, but that's one battle where losing may very well give them everything their souls desire...

MY REVIEW:

 

I have to admit that getting into this particular book at first was a bit hard. I didn't care for the fact that the heroine was rich and lived in a mansion. However, the story for me was saved because the heroine, Kristen, turned out to be a great person with a very nice personality. She wasn't at all what I expected a rich woman to act like.

I found as the story grew, so did my liking for this book. I found that I really liked the length of the book as well as Alec and the over all story even if the beginning of the story was a bit on the slow side.

I found that Guardian of My Soul was worth reading and I will definitely be checking out book 2 in this series. I gave Guardian of My Soul a THREE IN A HALF OUT OF FIVE STARS!

For those that are looking for a good romance on a hot summer day, then I suggest Guardian of My Soul for a nice read under a cool shade. Its fun, interesting, and for me, different then the average romance.

ARC Review of Embracing Her Desires by Lynn St. James

 

 

BLURB:

 

In book one of Anamchara: Hope Brooks receives a certified letter that could possibly change everything she has worked hard for her whole adult life.

Will Hope, Jase, and Cooper be able to overcome all of the obstacles to find forever with each other? Or will past hurts catch up and destroy what was put into place hundreds of years ago.

 

 

MY REVIEW:

 

This is the first book of Lynn St. James I have read and I can tell you, after reading Embracing Her Desires it will NOT be the last. Embracing Her Desires was truly a great paranormal romance. It was really nice to see that Ms. James created a heroine that was more then werewolf.

Sometimes I am a bit iffy with paranormal romance featuring werewolves because I can never tell until I read it what exactly I will be getting. I am afraid that I will get something that gets too kinky, for instance I fear that some of the sex scenes will be a little too raunchy for my liking, almost borderline bestiality. I was happy to say Embracing Her Desires was a real tasty paranormal romance worth reading.

I liked the heroes very much. Jase is fun, almost care-free, and sexy as sin, while Cooper is a bit more series but still sexy and is just as enjoyable to be around. Hope is such a wonderful heroine. I thought she was a great character for this small town of Anamchara.

At first I assumed Hope was human. When I learned she was more then human and more then werewolf I was really ecstatic and thought it definitely added much more appeal to her character and to the story. The sex scenes were scorching and the storyline well written and thought out. I really believe that Embracing Her Desires deserves a FULL FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS! Embracing Her Desires is an erotic paranormal delight that will have the readers coming back to Anamchara. If you haven't picked up your copy of Embracing Her Desires by Lynn St. James, then do so and see what all the hubbub is all about.
