A Betty's Pledge

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lately books have been written with the lead women having knowledge of what they want out of life, men, and in the bedroom. In A Betty’s Pledge the author illustrates how some of us [women] are clueless.  Most erotic novels are written with the perfect “O” (O is for Orgasm).   “O” envy is buzz worthy.

Mady is “O” envy. She applies to this “program” so she can learn more about herself, her wants and her needs. She is strong and determined to grow from life.

Isaac is looking for something new, and not the same o same o. He needs to be taken to a new level of A-wesomeness.

When these two get together, lets say that “O” is not just heard but it is also a quiet facial expression.

I must say that Emma brought a new storyline to the mix. It is not some of the same o same o, that we often read. She has redefined the “O” and they are fab.

The book is about what women and men need from each other, the connection required to be a unit, to be “one”. The story gives the reality of sex and that fab “O” and the needs that need fulfilling from each person.

The characters to watch are Mady, Isaac, Nate, Sonia and Diane. I think they are, or will be, major players throughout this series.

I finished the ARC and have already chosen sides.

I am so excited for the next book and eager to see if my prediction of this book is right.

Happy reading.

Vice, Virtue, & Video: Revealed


My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In Vice, Virtue, & Video: Revealed the author, Bianca Giovanni, gives you a storyline that is sweet and salty, raw and cherished, and filth and virginal. And I love it. The emotions in this story were breathtaking.

James and Lola, have this wonderful relationship that stands against all odds. They are fated to be together, but I am not sure if this togetherness is about a loving relationship (dating, marriage and 2.5 kids), or if it is a love (friendship) and a mutual respect for one another. 

It is powerful to see a strong female lead (Lola) and how mature and realist she is at such a young age. She is a child from a one parent home and even though her dad is an ass in this book, it does not bash the idea of him as a person, it only reflects how a relationship could be strain with a father who was never there and is some how obligated, in his mind, to be a part of her life.

The porn side is hot. James is a beautiful beast. He is magnificent at making women feel satiated and gorgeous at the same time with his Frenching, Fingering, Cunninglingus, and Coitus. He is every girls dream in the bedroom and to you’re your friends jealous. James is also every fathers fear at Thanksgiving dinner,

Daughter: “Hi daddy, this is James. He is my boyfriend and I love him.”

Father: “Honey, he looks so familiar. Is he famous or something?”

Me: Oh my!

This book has romance, drama with a stellar climax, and an ending that completes the beginning.

There are so many ways this author could change this story with the assistance of the supporting characters in this story and I am beyond excited for part two of James and Lola.

Happy reading!

This advance read was given by the author, publisher, and AToMR promotions.

Indulging in Irelyn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I recently read Indulging in Irelyn and my emotions have been all over the place. When I read the very last word in this book I was upset and realized this emotion was present because I needed more from this author. I wanted this book to be like War and Peace, thousands of pages. I found this book to be breathtakingly / orgasmic. The story is built on kismet, faith, and second chances. It’s a love story with a twist.

I must say that the descriptions the author gives about Zolten, well one, the name sounds like a God. And he is described as one. Two: When I reread the description of him she honest describes him to be so fine that he put Tom Brady to shame and Tom Brady is a beautiful man. Three: The description of the mans bedroom antic’s.
Fanning myself.
We are introduced to the characters in past and present scenes through the book. They are easy to follow and the all the reader to have a clear understanding. The funny thing is, that the author gave us the information we needed, instead of making a book 0.50 that only had the past in it. You readers know what I mean. We literally have all the information of the past, in this first book. 
So happy and so worth the read.
Zolten is/was a professional football player who was injured while playing a major game in his NFL career. His injury prevents him from ever playing the sport that he loves again. Zolten leaves the sport and the state of Arizona following the injury and attends law school, because not only is he hot, he is smart.
Oh my! 
Once he has his degree and has gained experience in his field he is given the opportunity to transition back to Arizona and where he will begin working for a prestigious law firm. He is excited about his move and hopes to make this a permanent place.

Zolten is a sexual man. He has a needs that must be filled.  Zolten  gives a candid description of his interludes with women. He never takes a women to his home. They only make it to his shagging place. He is domineering and once he has tied you up and ensures both parties have been pleasured, and then he kicks you out.
Alpha male, domineering, and mild BSDM.
Irelyn is the women of his dreams. Irelyn feels connected to Zolten. Their relationship is established in a short amount of time and is amazing. The scenes between Irelyn and Zolten are very passionate and naughty. 

This books coupling was fantastic. 
I really like the Zolten/Irelyn story. I especially enjoyed how the author wrote the chapters individually. She gave the reader the Point Of View of Zolten and Irelyn.  Each chapter is written to allow each person to pick up from a previous scene/chapter, basically a continuation of how the characters felt about the previous events. As the reader we are given the different perspectives of each main character. We are looking through the window and see how they are falling in love. But just like real life, real life gets in the way.
I am truly rooting for this love / connection they have.

Happy reading!

Twist Me

Twist Me (Twist Me, #1)Twist Me by Anna Zaires
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:
Kidnapped. Taken to a private island.
I never thought this could happen to me. I never imagined one chance meeting on the eve of my eighteenth birthday could change my life so completely.
Now I belong to him. To Julian. To a man who is as ruthless as he is beautiful – a man whose touch makes me burn. A man whose tenderness I find more devastating than his cruelty.
My captor is an enigma. I don’t know who he is or why he took me. There is a darkness inside him – a darkness that scares me even as it draws me in.

My name is Nora Leston, and this is my story.

WARNING:
This is NOT a traditional romance. It contains disturbing subject matter, including themes of questionable consent and Stockholm Syndrome, as well as graphic sexual content. This is a work of fiction intended for a mature, 18+ audience only. The author neither endorses nor condones this type of behavior.

My Review:
I am desperately trying to find a way to read through my TBR (to-be-read) list and I have found this very difficult to complete. As I attempted to go to my TBR and pull a book at random I stumbled on a new book from Anna Zaires Twist Me. So, I read the description that was provided, and then a couple of reviews from some of my favorite people. After reading the sample, I brought the book. This book is not for the sweet and innocent romantic. Before reading this book; you must read the warning that is given. You must prepare yourself for agony, angst, and relish in the “twist” of things.

In many of the books I have read in the past the character has learned something about themselves that they never new before. This was me with this book; kind of like being able to see for the first time, after your vision has been corrected. I really enjoy dark stories with grit and strong alpha male.

I have to admit, I did not hate Julian. In the beginning I did not understand why he did what he did to Nora but I was not upset with him. He gave me no reason to hate him. He was strong and direct (at times) and he treated Nora as well as he could. Yes, he kidnapped her. But Nora’s interaction with him kind of set the pace for my feelings about him in this book.

This is one of those books that is good throughout. The writing was smooth and detailed.

This book is said to be erotic and I would assume that it is due to the content but there was not much “dirty talk”. I mean, Julian is definitely an Alpha but he is not much of a talker in the bedroom. I wanted that passion. Yeah, they talk about the moans and the briefs snips (in my opinion) about the sex. I guess I should be blushing to admit that I have read some true erotic filth (Lol) and was looking for this book to give me that.

There were several transitions with each character but it was not described in length. I understand this to be because this was Nora’s POV. And she tells one hell of a story.

Nora is just a regular teenager who just graduated from high school and is preparing for that awesome summer prior to college. But her life changes when she is taken and she must adapt to her new surrounds and this new life that was placed upon her that she does not want. She is smart and very determined. I don’t know how she was able to stay sane after the kidnapping. She is also strong and I think that we may see how strong she will be in book two. Oh yeah, there is most definitely a book two and it is going to be from the POV of Julian and Nora.

Happy reading.
