Burning Desire: Part 3

Burning Desire: Part 3 by Donna Grant
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Shara and Kiril come up with a formidable plan to bring down the opposition. What they fail to remember this that Balladyn is a worthy adversary. Waiting like a tiger in the brush to pounce.

The other Dragon Kings are aware of the Kiril and the peril he has placed himself in. Hopefully they can come to his aid before it’s too late.

I must say the deeper I delve into this book the better it gets. Donna Grant has thought of everything! The equalizing of good and evil is a wondrous thing. I actually have no insight on how the book will end! (Rubs hands together with delight….) HA!! Kiril has a keen instinct he follows along with his heart. Being alive since the dawn of time tends to make him a baddass in his own right, his counterpart in this book has to be Balladyn. Balladyn is equally cunning and astute! This makes the plan to enter the Dark Fae territory somewhat harder than anticipated.

Moving on to Part 4… Thank goodness! I need to know! Will Kiril trust Shara? Is the exiled King working with the Dark? Who the hell is Rhi’s lover? And what happened??? Too Many Questions!

Burning Desire: Part 2

Burning Desire: Part 2 by Donna Grant
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Shara will do just about anything to get away from her family. Especially when her father announced he will soon choose a husband for her. All that she is goes against tradition and she yearns for independence. Blackwood is such a feared name amongst the Dark Fae, no one dare go against her Family. With thoughts of severing family ties only two powerful Fae come to mind, Taraeth and Balladyn. Only they would be strong enough to boldly stand against her family.

Careful what you wish for…. Shara’s plan to use Balladyn as a means to an end totally backfired. Sure he promises power, fortune, and freedom but at a much higher cost than she is willing to give. Only after her dealings with the devil does she begin to realize how precious her moment in the sun with Kiril was.
Thoughts of Balladyn capturing her once lover is a weight she can no longer carry. With every bridge burned where to go? Who can she trust? Only one place rings true..Kiril.

The juicy turn of events in Part 2 left me flabbergasted! Shara is equivalent to a caged animal trying everything and anything to attain its freedom. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Shara’s reckless plan has just stirred a shit storm of trouble for her. Her totally abusive and maniacal brother threw her ass under the bus with Balladyn. If the rage and malice his face held upon the news of her “seduction” held any promise, it wasn’t a happily ever after he had in mind!

The plot is so dense in Part 2, the what if’s are killing me. You have the exiled Dragon King, with no inkling of his intentions. Frustrating! Then Shara’s crazy family and now the pissed off Balladyn. Seriously not the guy you want to promise forever then ditch. I have no pretense for what is too come and I find that extremely invigorating! Onward to Part 3~

Burning Desire: Part 1

Burning Desire: Part 1 by Donna Grant
My rating: 3 of 5 stars



The Dark Fae will stop at nothing to ferret out the Dragon Kings long untold secret.
The key to their demise.

Kiril is a Dragon King on a mission, he’ll rescue Rhi. Rhi had been instrumental in saving his Dragon brothers, saving her in return would be the least he could do. Carefully bidding his time in Ireland, waiting for the Dark to finally make their move.

Shara, was the confound beauty that mesmerized him from their very first encounter. Kiril could hardly believe this was the course the Dark wanted to take. Seduction. Game on! Challenge Accepted! Her glamour had him awestricken at first sight and after a second glance he noticed her Red eyes and silver streaked hair did nothing to stop the ache in his groin.

Desire, dark and profound, smoldered through him. It wasn’t the passion that alarmed him, but the raw visceral need to know her, the yearning to taste her

600 years alone chained in a room, locked away and secluded from everyone, should be enough time to atone for her transgressions. At least that’s what Shara thought. She was this anomaly in her family, not quite evil enough. So, she killed the 5 women she brought home giving them reprieve this one act dishonored her in her families eyes. She won’t miss this long waited opportunity to show them she is worthy. Family is everything with the Dark Fae.

Shara’s desire to be touched by this Dragon King shouldn’t be so alarming, it’s a natural reaction to crave what she has lacked for 6 centuries. Touch. Contact. Warmth. In this tangled web she has begun to weave, never once did she imagine the only seclusion and alone time she would be granted was with Kiril. Once she has tasted the passion of the Dragon, can she follow through and gain back her place among her family?

Shara looked at the hand he held out for her.
The warmth , the strength. It made her insides turn to jelly. If he could do that with a simple touch of his hand, what would it be like in his arms, his lips on hers? His skin gliding against hers? His cock filling her?

Part 1 was a great intro into the Dragon King’s series. Kiril is intelligent and strong and extremely loyal. What I really enjoyed was the fact Donna Grant didn’t give it all away in the first part. The mystery isn’t unraveled quickly, I can’t stand when you start a book and instantly the plot just unfolds. Kiril purposely stays in Cork allowing the Dark Fae to keep watch. The way his instincts pick up deception is believable and calculating. Shara is a curiously crafted woman…with her longing & desires going up against her need to be accepted with her family, I am dying to see where her heart will lead her.

This first part is well introduced and leaves you longing for part 2, without the feeling you’ve been robbed! LOL

It is just enough to keep your interest peeked and curiosity strumming. The powerful connection Kiril and Shara stirred with their first coupling has left residual longing that both find hard to resist. I can’t wait to see what part 2 brings to the table~

Bound By Blood (Bound #1)

Bound By Blood by Cynthia Eden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed Bound by Blood.

Vampires and Werewolves have to form an alliance to snuff out the threat of Demons. It appears demons are on the loose and killing off vampires and werewolves alike. They must come together, fortifying their power if they have any hopes of a future.


Jace the Alpha Wolf, has desired Morgan ever since he was sent to put her down. One look at her mourning face upon the day she fully matured into a creature of the dark, he knew killing her was out of the question. His plan was simple offer a proposition of union to the vampires, he gets the princess they get the muscle.

Not really sure what surprised him more Morgan agreeing to be bound, or the wild urge to claim her when she boldly strode into his bar.

Morgan will do anything to keep her nest safe from the vicious attacking demons, even bond with a wolf. All her careful laid plans were shot to shit the moment she had Jace's very essence on her tongue. This powerful blood exchange reveals more than truth or duty.

What these two don't realize is that there is a traitor in the midst who is more that ready to sacrifice all oppositions to gain their hearts desire.


I have been in a rampage of reading Cynthia Eden's books. Each one had a wild sensual under current followed by diversity and action. I crave well rounded erotic romance stories with the hottest sexual encounters and feelings of love that enrapture the reader. You get this all day long with these books!


This story was no different, it was free on Amazon! Even better. The Bound tail has two strong willed main characters that will go to any lengths for their family and soon each other. Hell can't even separate the bond forged.

Burn for Me (Phoenix Fire, #1)

Burn For Me by Cynthia Eden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Eve Bradley was pulling all her favors to get into the Genesis lab, thinking her brief medical background would help her blend into the normal routine of things. She knew there was more to the labs then what was on TV and she was the reporter that was going to blow the roof off this lead! All that changed when refusing to sit idle while subject 13 was killed right before her eyes. Not realizing this was a regular day for Subject 13… today a bullet to the chest tomorrow death by drowning.

Cain O’Conner chained up and hoping his next death forged a stronger fire so he can break free of this man made Hell. Every death made him a bigger threat and each rising loosened the bonds he had constructed around his beast. Eve tempts the beast and the man, her candy smell arouses Cain’s primal Phoenix senses that shout Mine~

He Felt the darkness inside him growing.
Kill. Destroy.
The whispers were there- coming from the beast he'd tried hard to keep locked away foe so many years.
Death brought the darkness closer. Made him lose more of the man he'd once been.
Turned him into the beast that destiny had designed him to become.


Cain and Eve’s book was everything I wanted and so much more… Eve has a secret that was never shared, one that makes her Cain’s weakness in every sense of the word!! Once Genesis is in their rear view mirror, trouble and danger stem in every direction like a Hydra the moment one is cut down two more sprout up. Richard Wyatt’s (Mad scientist aka. Frankenstein wannabe) sights have drastically narrowed down to Eve..he wants her! Wants to see why she can withstand the Fire, Why Subject 13 won’t killer her, what better way to fight Fire than with Fire.

"Because your Mine."
Her heart lurched at that.
"Cain..."
He stood before her. The back of her knees hit the bed.
" I climbed out of Hell for you. To come back to you.
When I rose, I wanted to kill everyone around me- anyone who stood between us."



I received ARC of Playing with Fire, and right away I thought this has to be a fluke…right? No book can be this flipping HOT!!! Dominating male with action-in-more-ways-than-one..With a badass storyline. Labs, government testing, super soldiers in the making, rouge viral vampires… the list goes on. So I hoped my happy self over to Amazon and scooped up the other 2 Phoenix Fire books and was left smoldering by the intensity each book stirred. I read through each book and can honestly say Yowza..lets do that again! Each book can be read as a standalone, I have a feeling once you start the series you’ll be in a frenzy to read them all.

Indecent (The Moray Druids, #2)

Indecent by Kerrigan Byrne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Doomsday Grimoire was safe with Kenna de Moray while she was hiding in an Abbey. Even with her gift of sight she did not foresee who and what fate had in store for her.

Niall Thorson a son of the oldest Berserker clan only intended to raid the Abbey for its gold while sheltering his band of marauders from the impending storm. When he makes eye contact with a woman bound by the wrists being whipped some internal force reaches out to clam her.

Instant sensation took Niall in its thrall. The rivulets of rain running down his forearm to drip from his elbow became a physical caress. The rasp of his clothing against his burning skin an unexpected irritation he needed to be rid of. The muscles along his spine clenched and rolled with the need to be rhythmically thrusting.
Mine

Niall’s hasty bedding of the young female Druid has an unexpected twist upon completion. Kenna happens to be a fire Druid and her powers need to be replenished and the Berserker has ample power to give. Where their coupling has Kenna all hopped up like the energizer bunny Niall is less than fortunate…but what away to die~ Soft hearted Kenna puts all at risk while trying to protect her persecutors which leads her heart home and those she loves to battle.

the fact that this big and lethal warrior- a deities' instrument of death- was now lavishing her skin with his tongue instead of spilling her blood was beginning to mean more with each passing moment they spent alone. She felt...exceptional, cherished somehow, by this man whose name and intent remained unknown.

Yummmmmmy! I dare say these Novellas are not for the faint of heart. If you do not like explicit sexual encounters then feel free to shy away. Your loss~ But if you are not of the faint heart and love adult romance and some bloodshed than be sure to turn the page. I never tire of reading the Berserker love stories where they do tend to get right to the goods, I find I am the kinda girl who eats dessert before dinner! I mean isn’t that the point in a book to be submerged in fantasy? Well if you happen to be even remotely interested in over bearing men succumbing to their wildest desires grab Kerrigan Byrne’s books….any of them!

Insolent (The Moray Druids #1)

Insolent by Kerrigan Byrne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love Kerrigan Byrne's Berserkers!! Each and every story is fresh and original.

Bael Bloodborn, lonesome bastard for hire only knew a lifetime of lonesomeness.
He thought his only salvation would be Valhalla~ Little did he know that he could have his salvation with out his life forfeited.

Morgana de Moray (the Autumn Druid) had no idea resuscitating this giant warrior would bind them together for eternity, her only thoughts were of get back to her family and saving the world. Priorities! Bael's beastly counter part touches the very soul of Morgana with his tender heart and unspoken promise. Now Bael himself that was an entirely different story too scorned to believe in ever being accepted and to enraged that he didn't get his ticket to Valhalla~

With the persistent threat at their heals (3 crazy ass witches) trying to snuff out Moragan and retrieve the Grimoire, will Bael start to trust his berserker instinct and trust Morgana before her life is taken?

These Novella's Kerrigan writes may be short, yet they are each there own well rounded tale. Filled with Passion and War. I have read almost every book she has written with these tantalizing adoring Berserker's and all I can say is I want more~

Night's Deep Hush

Night's Deep Hush by Erin Kellison
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


The 4th installment in the Revelers series and sleeping will never be the same for some~

Jordan and Rook are still on the run from Chimera and the list of people to trust hasn’t grown any bigger. No honor among thieves…so when Rook’s past collides with his present he has no choice but to lead the danger away from Jordan. Jordan is pure determination when it comes to configuring a plan to contact her sister and getting Rook back! What she doesn’t expect is Vince. How does he keep finding her? Will she accept his help to find Rook? Even better will he accept the truth when it comes to the death of his father?

Night’s Deep Hush starts out with Rook and Jordan hiding out and trying to piece together enough info on Lambert to either take him down or at the very least exploit what the hell is going on in the Scrape. When Rook is force to help Mirren, get this Mirren is Dider Lamberts daughter. Who just so happens to be part nightmare too!! They are reproducing it seems~ Lambert has no heart, so I personally hope he gets what coming to him in the next book! I mean taking your grandson and pretty much leaving him by himself for days seems pretty terrible to me. A mother will do whatever it takes to protect her child…yet she isn’t alone! Vince of all people happens to be the Wild Card when it comes to facing Lambert. All of a sudden I’m rooting for the turncoat.

Out of the series so far this book wasn’t my fav. I guess I wanted a tiny bit more Rook and Jordan time??? But you do get up to speed on our underground heroes. And feelings start to fly on promises of love with Rook and Jordan. Loads of intrigue when it comes to the infamous Sandman, what is his end game in all of this? That is the question! I found that this short had loads of answers yet more questions and I feel no closure in sight. When it comes to writing I guess that’s a good thing though~

On a good note Mirren and Vince just might be joining in the fight against this menacing threat! And if it isn’t Lambert who the hell is it?!

High hopes for the 5th installment! Dream on Revelers…

Mine to Have

Mine to Have by Cynthia Eden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Elizabeth Ward left everything behind after a car accident killed her parents. Now she is back in Miami and working on making something of her life. All her hopeful plans are sidetracked when she is kidnapped and tied to a chair in the back room of a dive bar.

Saxon Black undercover-one-man-killing-machine-extraordinar…is derailed on his last mission, one look at Elizabeth and her huge pleading eyes has him struck with all the things he’s missing and working toward. All at once Saxon wants. He wants this mission to be over, he wants to start a real life and he wants Elizabeth.

What Saxon wants he gets. Uncertainty plagues Elizabeth when this mercenary of a man lays down her abductors and takes her on the ride of her life.

This Mine series is full of Dominate males and their I-get-what-I-want attitudes. Love it!! The fact that the good guys are depicted just as carnivorous as the villains really casts the mold for the men to expect in this series~ Loyal, Aggressive, Male and chockfull of testosterone. SCORE!!!!


Elizabeth’s confused state of mind is easy to relate to, she no longer has a gun to her head but who is going to rescue her from Saxon? Twice as deadly as the men who abducted her, he put that roomful of killers down without breaking a sweat. Now on the run trying to piece together who would want her dead. Her only way to survive is Saxon and his brother Vic. When the bodies keep piling up it becomes apparent there is a mole in the FBI. Someone is a step ahead and the victims are put down with no clue as to the why~ This book is nonstop action from one page to the next~ I personally love a book with gruesome murders and deep cover killers, I found myself right at home in reading this book. Put it down in 2 days. Don’t forget the romance!! When a longtime undercover agent finally gets strung out on a female you bet your ass it’s going to be one hot and heavy encounter after another! The action is as rapid as the gun fire. As a woman I adored all the overprotective attention Saxon showed. For all that hardcore killing he had this needy side that really spoke to me. Looking for some afternoon action be sure to pick up this book~

First Annual BDSM Writers Con Anthology

First Annual BDSM Writers Con Anthology by Lori Perkins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This first BDSM Anthology definitely has something for everyone with 21 short stories. I have read loads of books along the D/s story line and this Anthology really has a vast selection of short stories. Some shorts were harder than others to read through...lol But I enjoyed the majority of the snippets. The parts that really grabbed me where the sneak peeks into some new books from authors I have never read.
Funny thing is most of the authors included in this Anthology I have never read and I do love variety and being introduced to writing styles. Over all I enjoyed the book.

Bound by Night (Moon Bound Vampires #1)

Bound by Night by Larissa Ione
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Vampires are reborn in this new series from Larissa Ione.

Nicole Martin comes from the notorious Martin Family. The Martins are famous for all the experimental drugs that derived from the lab rat vamps and methods to help keep them slaves. (Think weapons, and experimental cures…..made and marketed on the inhuman torture of another) That and the fact her family was almost all slaughtered by their subservient vampire slaves. The only survivors are her and her 1/2 brother, who turns out to be a sadistic jealous Looney tune~ Nicole’s life is turned upside down by Riker, he has been haunting her dreams since she was a very young child when she saw him kill her nanny Terese, but 20 years later standing in her doorway with demands for help she is effected in more ways than one.

Riker is a lone wolf in the Moonbound Clan of Vampires. Still not emotionally over the loss of his mate, his revenge is fueled by unrelinquished anger for the Martin household. When opportunity strikes he has no qualms against taking Nicole against her will to help achieve his clan’s safety.
No cost is too big? Or is it?

Her kidnap leads to their salvation~

Little do they know Rikers kidnapping of Nicole leads them down a life altering path. One neither expected, and the truths that are brought to light also surface past torment. Nicole’s eyes open to the harsh realities of what her family’s corporation has done to the vampires. I assure you it is beyond the moral compass of the most heinous individuals. I think what Nicole is subjected to really shows how wrong and blinded she has been all these years. Riker’s long compartmentalized past has no choice but to be called out when confronted by reality and his grief may have cost him more than he ever realized he had.

This book really spins the vampire storyline, the fact they all come from Native American Indian tribes. Way Cool!! The tribal influence carefully weaved throughout the book gives it a one of a kind feel! Refreshing, magical and romantic~ Sigh.. This Earthy take on vampirism will be well received. I found vampires to be reborn in this first book of the series; I am eagerly anticipating the rest of these books! I hope she gets crazy with this series!!! The basis for the series is so well thought-out and original, what more can you ask for? But really can’t say that I am surprised. Larissa Ione never skimps on the detail or holds back in her writing.
