Inn on the Edge by Gail Bridges - Review


By Gail Bridges

Angela and her brand-new husband Josh have just arrived at their honeymoon destination, a romantic bed-and-breakfast hotel on the breath-taking Washington coast - the Inn on the Edge. But everything isn't as it seems. The lessons that come free with the room aren't for painting the lovely coastal scenery - the lessons are for better sex. Angie and Josh, shocked and titillated, immerse themselves in every sensual offering.It doesn't take long for things to go horribly wrong. The discover that the old man running the place is a sex demon, who has been stealing their sensual energy. Worse, he's dangerously in love with Angie and he has plans for her - plans involving an heirloom wedding ring.

Coming soon http://www.ellorascave.com/inn-on-the-edge.html

My Thoughts: I expected Inn on the Edge to be very sexy after reading a previous book by Gail Bridges. I was definitely not disappointed on that front. I was again intrigued with the creativity that Bridges puts into each scene in a book. They are all incredibly steamy. This book was full of a lot of intrigue, too. I was captivated by what would happen next with the sex demon and Angie.

The characters in this book are interesting. Each of them has a bit of back story that helps to shape who they are at the inn. The easy manipulation that is involved frequently is interesting. I kept waiting for someone to break away from what they were told was right. I liked the dynamics between the couples. I found the guides to be the most fun to read about. I loved how each of the people who were around had some sort of talent.

I thought that even with all the inventive sex in this book, one of my favorite parts was the mystery of the inn and its owner. He was a very well written and sufficiently creepy character. I constantly wondered what else he would be capable of and if anyone would ever be able to get away. I liked the end and I can imagine how the characters will move on with their lives after the honeymoon is over.

America's Darlings by Gail Bridges - Review


by Gail Bridges

Genre: Erotica
This book contains explicit content not intended for people under 18 years of age. Leah Collins is a sexual gymnast, a brilliant athlete poised to compete in the Mexico City Olympic Games of 2112. She takes pride in her advanced skills in the sexual arts, but performing Courtesan’s Treat and Raging Volcano in front of thousands of cheering fans is no easy task, especially when sexual malfunctions threaten. At her side, a pillar of strength and compassion, is her best friend, Benson White. He is the one who scrapes her from the ground when her self-destructive tendencies surface. Benson is a talented sexual gymnast in his own right, the other half of America’s Darlings. They hope for a gold medal. What neither of them expects is to fall in love.

Buy on Amazon | Ellora's Cave

My Thoughts: America’s Darlings was everything I expected it to be. The idea of adding sexual gymnastics as a sport, whether it’s in the Olympics or not, is wild but I loved how it was explained. The way that the act of sexual gymnastics was made into something that sounded breathtaking was great. I especially loved when they would become the scene they were performing.

I found the characters to be troubling. That’s not a bad thing; I think they were meant to be that way. Leah was a mess. I don’t know that it was all her fault. A part of the book alludes to the fact that she may not have always been. That makes me wonder a bit more about her back story. Bennson is a great guy. He is constantly there for Leah and supports her. The other gymnasts were interesting. The discussions about how different countries performed reminded me of watching the Olympics now.

I think this book had a lot of great scenes. The sex scenes range from sweet to super hot and even a bit more than bargained for. I found the protesters and press parts to be entirely believable. They searched for weaknesses and attacked, much like they do in today’s world. This fictional future where sex is so openly accepted was exciting and possibly a bit scary.

"When The Veil Is Thin" web site:



"Alicia" is a story close to my heart, since I enjoy horror but I also enjoy writing romances. So I combined the two in "Alicia".

Rape is a tough topic to tackle, so to add a horrific eeriness to the entire ordeal makes it even more confusing and frightening.

To Love A Wolf by B.K. Walker - Review

To Love A Wolf (Wolves of Shadow Falls)
Genre: Paranormal Erotica Romance
Passions are fueled...Two World's collide...
What would you do if your future had another plan for you?Cevin Harpster is in his residency year to obtain his M.D. He's looking forward to his new life after graduation, where he will open his own practice and marry his high school sweetheart. When Cevin suddenly starts dreaming of a beautiful woman he can't help but wonder if he may be going insane, as she seduces him night after night, taking him to heights of ecstasy he never knew he longed for. As the dreams become more frequent, his sex drive rockets and his fiance', Sam, finds Cevin's new desire for experimenting enticing, even if a bit rough, when his sexual experiences from his dreams are used on her. Weird things continue to happen in Cevin's dreams, when he learns that this mysterious woman actually exists, and he is meant to be her mate and lead a pack of wolves he never imagined to be real. When dreams and reality meet...someone always gets burned!

My Review: Reviewing novellas is never easy.  There never seems to be enough to talk about without giving away the story, but I’ll give it a shot. To Love A Wolf grabbed my attention right from the start. The dreams Cevin has are descriptive and a bit scary to imagine. While there wasn’t in depth details in every part of the book, I was still interested in what would happen next.

Cevin and Sam are a sweet couple. They seem so great together. Sam has got to be one of the most understanding women ever. She takes every new obstacle that Cevin faces in stride. She stays by his side and I love that. Cevin fights for his life with Sam and his life as a doctor. I’ll be interested in how he is in later books. Another great character was Alejandro. He seems loyal to Cevin right away.

To Love A Wolf is a fast paced, spicy read. I think it will be great for adults who enjoy paranormal erotica. I can’t wait to read the next book.

Chapter 1 - This is Erotica. 
Like seriously, it all began out of REVENGE. And the problem was all because the door wasn’t shut. As in, it was pushed closed but the lock wasn’t secured. It wasn’t safe. I could’ve and should’ve latched it but I didn’t, and it wasn’t that I was too caught up here either, just wasn’t sure I was really going to go through with this or not. It’s summer, June 11, and lord did I need this three months break from UWI. I was so charged up about it until I threw myself into this situation I’m in right now. I planned it, but sitting here face to face with it right now, I‘m not sure how I should feel inside or what I was feeling. My age? Nineteen. Just turned nineteen in April, and believe it or not, today is probably the biggest day I’ll ever have in my life already. And for sure the most important day in my brother, Vance’s, life. I nervously looked towards the lock on the plain white door. Don’t judge me, - BUT - today, this was happening in the bathroom.

“Hey, take our picture. Just like we are now.” I instructed him, while sitting in his lap. My arms hugged around his neck, both of us were dressed in formal clothes and sitting in the bathroom. My breasts were outside the cups of my strapless satin dress, and my nipples still wet from just slipping out his mouth.

“Of the two of us?” he asked tilting his head, shocked and puzzled, looking straight into my eyes. His pants zipper half-way open. It made no sense to him, but to me I knew exactly why I wanted him to do it.

I barely mouthed, “Yeah sweets.” Raised my bosom up, and brushed my nipples against his face, my nipple rubbed above his opened mouth, grazing it. “You needn’t make your face show in the pics.” I freed one of my arms from around his neck and quickly glanced back at the lock, turned back around and lightly petted the side of his cheek. “I don’t want you to get in any trouble, but make sure my face is showing ... Pretty please...,” I lowered my face close to his as I said ‘pretty please’ and continued to speak with my lips almost touching his cheek and close to his ear, “And show exactly what we’re doing. OK?”

He girthed around my slim waist with both hands and eased me off him a bit. “Like this!” He panicked. He knew if a word of this ever got out. if shit ever hit the fan, it would be a very nasty tailspin. His eyes were searching all over my face, trying to see if I was sure. He asked, “Half-naked? You serious?”

I was. As serious as a heart surgery on Obama.

“Yeah. Email me them.” I pampered my hand seductively down the chest of his white long sleeve shirt, rubbing with pressure, so I could feel the sexual raise of his huge erected nipple through his shirt.

“Ping me when you send them off boo.” My palm was pressing over the roundness of his nipple, I slithered my hand down his muscular chest and back up to his nipple, pinched it between my thumb and index finger, pinching and pulling it hard. Rolled it between my fingers and he licked his lips, licked them again, slowly, his teeth biting on the underside of his lower-lip. I clawed his nipple playfully with my manicured nails. His penis twitched upward.

His face changed; a hint of anger painted his eyes. He grabbed my hand, held it steady. “Mad woman, what if Qwan sees them?” He was looking in my eyes as if I were a person on some cheap, wholesale crack.

I became aware of where I was; anyone could walk in on us at any minute. Lord knows I wouldn’t want that. With no smile on my face, I answered him in a hushed tone, “Don't you worry about it, umm ... Nate. Your name is Nate right?” he bobbed his head agreeing and said, “Nathan.”

“OK. Don't worry Nathan, Qwan won’t find them ...” I saw a rush of relief filled him, the fright slowly disappearing from his eyes and somehow it seemed like his pupils changed, maybe it was the size of his pupils changing with his mood, growing bigger and fuller as he regained a calm in our bizarre situation. His face relaxed, about to smile. I finished my sentence, hardening my jaw as I gritted the words, “I’m going to show them to him.”

His eyes slammed wide open, the formation of his smile reversed, his mouth hung, fright flying back into his eyes. He flashed my hand down with a sharp thrust, it slapped into my lap. He held it there. I wrung my hand out his grip, asked, “What’s wrong? Eehm? You intimidated by Qwan?”

“N-no...No .. but .. bu-ut .. you righted?”

“If mi righted?” I looked away to the bathroom mirror in front of us. “Mi want it burn him.” The bitter hurt I felt from it all last night began to swell, bubble and explode in my chest. “It’s my damn revenge.”

Nathan and I snapped several very provocative photos. Despite him being fully clothed, wearing his tall sleeve white shirt, black pants and a superman blue tie, his erect penis was standing outside his zipper in some of the pictures, in some it was sticking in me, and in some I placed it in my mouth, posing for the camera. We didn’t have sex, we only posed.

I still wasn’t satisfied with just the pictures. It wasn’t a big enough get back. So torn by thoughts of last night, so hurt, I had sex with Nathan right there. Nathan’s body jolted with a four hundred volt of electricity when he orgasmed, spewing his cum out of control and creaming everywhere he didn't want to. Some even caught on the tail of my white gown.

We went a second round. I didn’t want to keep my panties on anymore; it was making me too hot and bothered. But if someone walked in, it would be a dead giveaway once I had my panties off. The tight elastic around the rim of the legs were squeezing me and I didn’t like the feel. He slid the crotches of my white panty to the side to get himself into my pink hole. I lifted my white gown, pushed both my thumbs down both sides of the thin elastic waist of my underwear, swiftly dragged it from underneath my long dress and it came off in a rolly twist from around my ankles as I stepped out of it, exposing my naked ass, clean skin, long legs.

I tossed my panty over the shower rod. It had a blue shower curtain with pictures of yellow rubber ducky all over. Hopefully I could get back in my undies fast enough if anyone should bust in on us. My skin was a smooth color of creamy Milo as I bent over and cocked up my ass to take his Godzilla size into me, doggystyled position, my love-hole jumped, wanting his warm length between me, now. My walls seeping wet with my goo. I peeped between my legs from my arched-back. Waiting on his stiffness to be forced through my fleshy hole. He hoggishly hoisted the tail of my dress over my petite round buttocks, the tail bunched scraggly on my back. Roughing up my gown as if he forgot that today is a very special day for me, my biggest day. A feint worry about my brother’s situation slid across my mind. It’s a big decision. A difficult one. I’ll just do what Mommy encouraged me to do, we already came this far with the plan, I can’t turn back now. Can I? After so many years?

I slapped my hand on to the rail of the white bath tub, fingers latched. I bent and peered at him from between my legs, my breasts bouncing from bending over. His cannon camera hung down by its black strap from his shoulder, swung awkwardly back and forth like his balls were swinging back and forth. The tiny split in the center of his fleshy pink penis-head was damp; he aimed it right at the opening of my vagina, my entire body anticipated his cock being worked into me so sweetly, so divine, parting my flesh, stroking in me. Deep. Sensually. Fucking me. He braced his hips forward, my shoulder blades squeezed itself together, I felt the tip of his swollen head pressed against my hole. It felt warm, smooth. Chills danced on the back of my neck. His entire penis jerked, it sprang up and down slightly after the jump, like an aftershock. I felt it and my hole throbbed, my spine tightened. The smooth warm head touched the tip of my private-lips, just barely touching them. My arm reached between my legs and grabbed hold of his stiffness. My small hand could not wrap completely around it, it was too thick, too fat. It felt like a ten pound giant sausage in my hand, as thick as a plaintain but black. It had a fat broad head. My body jittered. Gosh! I want to feel all of it inside me. My urges were taking over. I tried to take a grip of myself. I shouldn’t enjoy this so much, but .. but my body, it’s too aroused, ready, wanting, roaring.

I ran my fingers down his full length, the pad of my fingertips stroked over the smooth yet sharp zig-zags that his lightning veins forked from the root and sides all the way to the tip. The straight and long main vein running smoothly up the side, like a thick rope, it made the biggest bulge of all the veins. The softness of the thin skin that wrapped his penis will let me feel the swell of the veins for sure as it rub up and down in me, but with a smooth feel, a textured feel when my juices lather it. I couldn’t wait to have this juicy cock in me, feel it in me, feel it. A feeling ran through my body. Hot, excited, wanting. So wanting. My belly jerked quietly, like an hiccup of horniness, it nudged my heart rate, my heart speeding and I could feel each beat pounding against my breasts. I couldn’t control my body’s reaction. I wiped my thumb midway his cock, side to side. God! I wanted this. My pussy clasped itself shut and then released. I shouldn’t have another contraction till couple more seconds. But I was so horny my clit jumped again in seconds, one right after the other, pulling my clit inward. I bit my lip. Squeezed the middle of his flesh. Clit jumped again. What’s happening? And again. Jumped again. I squeezed my fingers around it, at the root, close to his balls, stroking it up and down, jerking him, jerking it, jerking his big fat cock. I felt it growing even stiffer in my hand, swelling thicker, solid, heavy. It rose higher, lifting my hand, horniness ravishing through its veins. He desperately wanted to push his cock into the sweetest place on earth. Inside me. He looked down at my arched back, pushed his hip forward, wanting to fuck me, fuck me till my titties fall off. I wanted to feel him inside.

I didn’t see his face, I heard his desperate moans, “Leee...Leee...” dragging his words and begging, “Let me push it inside, pleeeaase.”

My slender fingers held his cock firm, squeezed it, aimed it to the center of my slit, cringed my face to feel his entry, released his kong and left it standing stiff in the air behind me for him to delve into my wetness. He penetrated me slow. The swollen head pierced its way through. I uttered a silent, ‘Ouch!’

Staring Into the Eyes of Chance by Kay Dee Royal - Review


Welcome to Reading It All's stop on the Staring Into the Eyes of Chance Tour presented by Bewitching Book Tours!

Title: Staring Into the Eyes of Chance
Author: Kay Dee Royal
Series: A Lycan International Investigation Agency (LIIA) Series
Publisher: MuseItHOT Publishing
Publish Date: March 1, 2012

Synopsis: Olivia endures a thirty-four year passionless marriage, discovering her dead husband’s philandering history at his funeral. She devotes her energy and life-long sensitivity with animals to her wildlife refuge and preserve.


Chance, a Lycan alpha and leader of the Lycan International Investigation Agency (LIIA) throws himself into his investigations. He chooses to neglect his duty of finding a primal-mate after watching his father become an empty shell over the loss of his.


A murderous rogue pack draws Chance onto Olivia’s wildlife preserve, sending Olivia’s animal sensitivities into overdrive. Chance and Olivia discover a sizzling force driving them together.



Will they succumb to its enticing tether, or fight to resume their loveless lives apart?

My Thoughts: I really enjoy shifter books. I would prefer a good shifter book over a vampire book any day. For that reason alone I was very excited to read Staring Into the Eyes of Chance by Kay Dee Royal.

I loved all the characters that Royal created in this book. Olivia was a widow with a bad marriage in her past. I found her so interesting right from the start. She loved her animals so much and really seemed to want to please people. She definitely couldn't tell her sister no about finding a new love interest. Even though she loves to please others she is one brave woman. The things she threw herself into were just crazy. I wouldn't be searching in the middle of the night by myself after seeing a huge wolf. Her sixth sense just adds even more layers to who she is and will become.

Chance just sounds so gorgeous. He is the Alpha of his pack and, so obviously he is strong. He is also very caring and his sense of humor with his pack is nice. He isn't overbearing with them. I was loving every minute of reading about him.

I loved Chance and Olivia's relationship. Some people don't like that instant love that seems to happen in books. Sometimes it bothers me, too. Not in this book. Royal did such a great job of explaining the reasons behind the attraction. Sure Olivia was beautiful and Chance was handsome but it was something deeper for them. I love their journey, and their love scenes are very steamy. 

Lindsey and Trevor's relationship is very interesting. Lindsey is all no-nonsense and standing up to everyone. She tries to protect Olivia from any kind of hurt. She is a perfect best friend. I love Trevor. He is so funny, and the way he talks entertains me. Their relationship hits some serious bumps, so I will be very interested to see how it goes in later books.

The rest of the pack is great. Jasmine is kind of like Lindsey. She doesn't take any crap, she says it like it is, and I don't think I would ever want to fight with her. Dir, Jase, and Damen all got my attention. There is something about Jase, I can't wait to read more about him. 

Smoke is a perfect villain. He and his pack cause so much chaos for Olivia and Chance and his pack. I could really hate that wolf. Then every once in a while there was this little glimpse of some humanity. Not much, but enough to make me wonder if he is save-able. 

I think that readers should go into this book with a little warning. There are some very explicit scenes in this book, including scenes that may offend some people at times. If you can handle the heat then definitely get this book. I loved every minute, even the rougher scenes, because it all added to the amazing story. I cannot wait for the next book in this amazing series. Kay Dee Royal has major talent.

Winterbloom by Marissa Dobson - Review


Title: Winterbloom
Author: Marissa Dobson
Publisher: Ruby Lioness Press
Publish Date: April 20, 2012

Synopsis: As Chloe Frost focuses on renovating Winterbloom Bed and Breakfast, a blizzard dumps blankets of snow upon the sleepy town of Clearwater. An unexpected guest desperately needs a room after his car breaks down in the storm, but this mystery man seems tortured by his past. Can Chloe help him see through the pain and anger? Can Jordan Sheppard, once a Gunnery Sergeant of the Marines, finally let someone in and show him just what love is?

My Thoughts: I really enjoyed Winterbloom. It was a very sweet novella. Chloe was a great character, and we got to learn a little about her background in the story. She seems like a very independent person, and very caring. Jordan sounded yummy. He had problems from his time in the Marines but he was a good person. I really liked how Chloe and Jordan interacted as they started to care for each other. 

I also liked meeting a few of the other towns people in Clearwater. The sheriff was a fun guy. He was so worried about Chloe being alone with a stranger. We also got a glimpse of Chloe's friend Jennifer, who seems like a great character, maybe with a sassy attitude. 

Winterbloom was very enjoyable. The characters came together in a very beautiful way, and helped each other with their problems. This would make a good short read for anyone wanting a little love story with a dash of spice.

Avoiding Commitment by K.A. Linde - Review

I am incredibly excited to have recently been introduced to a new author, K.A. Linde! She is an independently published, or Indie, author. I have always enjoyed Indie authors. Their talents tend to not be recognized as often as they should be. So, I was very excited to read K.A. Linde's book, Avoiding Commitment.


The cover art is still in the works as she is working to put Avoiding Commitment into e-book format. This picture is a tentative design and Linde claims no ownership or copyright to it at all. I actually love this cover art, and I also love that the blue font is the color of Jack's eyes. You'll hear about Jack in a minute, hold on.


Title: Avoiding Commitment
Author: K.A. Linde
Release Date: Unknown, but I'm waiting!


Synopsis: Jack and Lexi never had a typical relationship. After 2 years without speaking, she receives a phone call that changes everything. He unexpectedly asks her to convince the new girl, Bekah, that he's ready to commit. Jack is calling now after everything they had been through because there is another woman. She can't believe it. Follow Lexi in this heart wrenching drama as she relives her past relationship, or lack thereof, with Jack, and not just in her own mind, but to his fiance-to-be. Throw in Bekah's hot brother who always seems to be in the right place at the right time, a past with more secrets to unravel than you can even imagine, and you get a recipe for disaster. Find out what happens to Lexi as she travels to Atlanta to get the closure she so desperately desires from Jack, and how the bumps of life seem to keep getting in the way. From Goodreads.


My Thoughts: First off, I love K.A. Linde's writing style. She alternates between past and present for each chapter. I love books like this. The gradual build of the back stories adds intensity to the story. This story was definitely intense!


Lexi tries so hard to stay strong. She just gets completely swept up in her feelings for Jack right from the start. Lexi struggles throughout the book to resist Jack and all of his advances. I can't say I enjoyed her struggle, how bad would that sound? I did feel for her through it all. I felt like she deluded herself sometimes when it came to Jack, but then love will make you do stupid things. 


Jack with his dark hair, and amazing blue eyes would make any girl swoon. You really can't blame Lexi for getting wrapped up in him. The scenes between them were so hot (18+ folks, but yummy) that I was almost convinced to go Team Jack. Then he finally just made me mad. Leading poor Lexi along all the time. Sure, she may have asked for it, but he was a jerk. A sexy jerk, but still.


Lexi's interactions with Ramsey were the best! Ramsey sounds so sexy! I know Jack is all smolder and gorgeous but Ramsey just seemed better. This coming from the person who typically goes for the bad boy with an attitude. Ramsey was bad in his own way. I loved how he never gave an inch with Lexi. He could really hold his own. I am completely on Team Ramsey here!


Chyna is amazing!! I love her so much. She is funny, spunky, and man does that girl know how to party. She is such a great friend to Lexi, and I really love how they first met. 

There were several other characters in this book. Jack's girlfriends from the past were quite interesting. Jack's current girlfriend, Bekah, seems all sugary sweet, but Lexi isn't fooled. Lexi's past boyfriends are introduced, too. 

This book was definitely a roller coaster of emotions. I loved following this story, and I never wanted to stop reading. Reading about Lexi's search for closure, and watching how she dealt with each problem was exciting. 

I plan to pass this book, and author, on to my fellow reading friends. Avoiding Commitment was amazing to read, and K.A. Linde is an author to watch. I've already started reading the second book in this series, Avoiding Responsibility, and I cannot wait to see what happens next!
