No. No. And hell, no.

There was no such thing as fate…or werewolves.

Three testosterone-laden, alpha male types claimed she belonged to them? And that they were willing to share? Nope, couldn’t be happening. She must’ve hit her head harder than she’d realized because something was clearly messing with her usually sensible thought processes.

But how the hell could she explain the crazy way she heard their thoughts in her head? Or the inexplicable way her body reacted to them all even though they were absolutely not her type? Oh, and, yeah, the wild, blazingly hot dreams of foursomes? They totally sucked.

So why then, when faced with a chance to reclaim her quiet life, was Andrea suddenly desperate to make Xavier, Daegan, and Isaac live up to their promise of forever?



Wendy's Review

Abby Blake brought a story that has you using all your emotions to get through it. It is a refreshing touch and an enjoyable read.

Andrea owned and operated her jewellery store with pride but one night and it all comes to a halt, when closing her store she forgot to lock the door which almost caused her life. Fumbling robbers accidently shot Andrea in a hold up and as she was bleeding out. Her only hope happened to be with Isaac and Daegan the two wolves who found her and made the decision to save her by turning her into a wolf, it was perfect because they found their mate, they decided to act first and deal with the ramifications from their brother Xavier.

To no avail Andrea embarks on an adventure that she couldn't quiet fathom and to live with three men who claim to be her mates. Things like this don’t happen so there must be a reasonable explanation of why she is a wolf now and how she is attracted to three men/wolves.

As things progress Andrea came to realize that not only was the sex wonderful and out of this world so was her life. She came to realize that her life was empty without her men.

Xavier, Daegan, and Isaac live up to their promise of forever. To them Andrea is their life long mate and they wanted nothing more than to please her in life and in bed. Even though Andrea kept saying these men were not her type, she knew that there were no other men for her.

Bridget Reilly has lived her entire life using dark glasses to hide her deformed eyelids. But she also hides her real self, working a dead-end job and locking herself away from any social life. In secret she lusts for her next-door neighbor, Navy SEAL Clay Randall, a lust unexpectedly fed during an electrical blackout.

When a masked ball provides the opportunity for her to have an entire night of glorious, unrestrained, erotic sex with Clay, how can she ignore it? The night more than exceeds all her expectations and now she wants to find a way to have a real relationship with him, without the mask. She applies to the Durban Trust, a fund set up by a former movie star to provide plastic surgery, and the surgery is successful. But what she hadn’t counted on was Clay’s reaction when she revealed all to him—and the wedge it would drive between them.


Wendy's Review
 
Bedroom Eyes was a delightful story with a strong female character Bridgette has everything but the self confidence to face her neighbor US Navy Seal Clay without a disguise. Her only flaw that she has is the insecurities of her eyes which she desperately wants to change. Hiding behind a mask helps her drop her insecurities and enjoy a night of blow minding sex with Clay.

Clay wasn't looking forward to the masquerade party till he meets a mysteries lady in red, the only problem no taking off the mask but hey it is her fantasy he was just enjoying the ride until his heart took over.

Desiree brought in a lot of emotions in such a short story that it had you reading each word with an anticipation of happily ever after with a few speed bumps.

This story was wonderful and full of adventure and a love that could only be magic.

Just wished it was longer I love these kinds of love stories.

Wendy's Review
 
Cara Covington has done it again in Lusty Texas this time she brings together Tracy with two men she could love and be loved the rest of her life.


Tracy may be young but she knows what she wants and she wants Jordan and Peter. The only problem is it took some doing for her to grow up in Jordan's mind for Jordan to actually see that Tracy was the one for them. He loved Peter and knew that Peter loved Tracy also. The problem Peter has a secret that could kill the relationship before it could begin.

Through the story Cara brought the whole situation to the town that I have loved. Where everyone is there to help or give advice. Jordan and Peter are consider the strong men but even strong men have weakness and through this weakness you can find love.


The sexual scenes had the sheet hot and the girl hotter and you won't be disappointed in how these men brought their love full circle.

It can be read alone but the series is the best way to know all the characters and how well you can see a town like Lusty, Texas.

When your heart has been ripped bleeding from your chest, it leaves behind a dark hole where desire no longer resides. At least that was what Ausha Malone thought right up until the moment Detective Doug Pennington walked into her bar.

Informing Ausha about the death of her ex-husband would be Doug’s hardest task of the day, but he was ready for it. What he wasn’t prepared for was meeting Ausha face-to-face. Life had dealt her a bad hand. If someone cared to look close enough, they could see exactly how bad in the gunmetal gray of her gaze.

Doug wasn’t so sure he wanted to look, and yet he couldn’t seem to stay away. He was bound and determined to give Ausha her life back, whether he had to drag her kicking and screaming all the way or not.


Wendy's Review
 
Maggie brought you a book that had my attention from the very moment you read the first word.

Ausha Malone had her bar and her whiskey what else did she need. Her life ended that day her little girl was killed. Being alone and not feeling was just what she thought she deserved. Breathing but not living was something that became her life. Until her ex was killed and then the joy that she thought she would feel never came.

Doug Pennington was the police officer who had to tell Ausha that her ex was dead and give her his final papers. What he saw was a shell there was no life in this woman who he thought had life by the tail. He decides to bring her back to life and show her that she was worthy of living again. Someone had done him that favor now it was time to teach Ausha that whiskey wasn't the answer and that it won't make her forget her past or the pain.

Doug had fallen for Ausha and so this story brings out all the grief and how hard it is to live after tragedy but life does go on it just depends on who is there in the end.

A great story this reader wished it was longer I hated when the book ended. Great work of writing.

Phoebe has been working for Luca only a short time, but their attraction is sizzling. Then Luca’s powerful father Salvatore discovers his son’s interest in Phoebe—and thinks her beneath him. Salvatore offers Phoebe money to disappear from Luca’s life, and desperation drives her to accept.

After discovering what his father has done, Luca pays him back and goes after Phoebe. Hurt and revenge drive him to demand repayment—in his bed. He refuses to listen to her reasons and her own pride doesn’t help the situation. Luca tries to convince himself the only thing he’s interested in now is her body.

Phoebe fervently wishes it was just amazing sex, instead of Love. Luca determinedly tries not to fall for a woman he can’t trust. Fate has other plans for them both.



Wendy's Review

Phoebe Sanders worked as a personal assistant to Luca Androtti for the past few months. The attraction was there and smouldering when Luca's father Salvatore comes into the scene threatening Phoebe with blackmail when his plans are threatened. He doesn't feel Phoebe is of quality for his son and his future.

Feeling hurt and betrayed decides it is time to help her sister Anya who had Retinitis Pigmentosa, blindness was looming forever for her sister without trying the costly treatment.

Luca reacted first and for most with anger for being duped. After paying his father the money he gave Phoebe to disappear he now had her right where he wanted her in his bed anytime, anyway. Going after her he didn't want to hear any excuse of why she left or her past. He used her as punishment and then when he began to fall in love with her he didn't understand how he could fall in love with someone he couldn't trust so the secrets of an engagement caused more turmoil and desperation which drives Phoepe away.

Kit has you from the very first word. This story has wonderful characters and a great plot one that has you wanting Luca to be the man that Phoebe deserve.

Under their guidance, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, one that teaches her decadent pleasures and raw desire.
And love.
Knowing a ménage relationship could never work, she still finds herself tempted to stay.
But fate, and her ex-boyfriend, have other plans.


Wendy's Review
 
Leah has done it again. I can’t believe how she makes you want to live in a town of Desire OK where real men knows how to treat a lady. In this book as well as all of hers stories you can read it alone but it is so much better with the whole collection.

Alison Bennett was coming to Desire to attend a conference on how to please a man, and she knew she needed lessons because of her past. The man in her past seem to think that she was lower than dirt and her self esteem took a beating as well as her body. Months have past but she still felt the pain.

Breaking down was not helping but the two men the sheriff called to help had her wanting one while the other raked her nerves. Dillon and Ryder ran the local garage and were more than willing to take over when the conference was cancelled because of an attack on the seminar. Dillon and Ryder might be handsome and funny and real gentlemen they were also out of her league. Manage was new to her and through the curiosity she agreed to let them be her instructors on how to please a man, what she couldn’t understand was they gave her pleasure and teaching her that their pleasure is her pleasure.

Being in a small town caused her to worry about gossip and acceptance but when trouble came she not only had the love of her men she also learned that not all towns were the judgmental.

I give this book a resounding 5 Tea Cups and 3+ heat index, the sheets get hot and the smouldering sex scenes has you rereading this story several times.

Wendy's Review
 
Desire was in the typing pool one day and then up at the boss's office as their assistant the next. She knew from past experience that she needed to be all business and never allow anything to come between her job and her personal life.

Her boss's and brothers Clay and Elliot Middleton were looking for an assistant but what they received was a desirable beautiful woman. Even though they told each other that they wouldn't go over the line they knew they lied to each other and themselves.

Clay and Elliot gave Desire the best orgasm and sex that she ever experienced and each time she objected she knew in her heart that she wanted them as much as they her.

With all love misunderstandings happen that causes old hurts to come and with any manage relationship honesty is the best policy no secrets. But when secrets come to head they had to rely on their love to pull them through.

The love scenes that Marla writes has you withering in your seats and wanting men like Clay and Elliot to hire you.

Review: Tessa's Highlander by Cooper Lovell

Tessa's Highlander by Cooper Lovell

Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Heat Rating: 3

 Blurb

Erotic horror author Tessa Danvers's limited experience with men has her convinced that she just doesn't need to waste time on them. Her writing career is hot enough, and she recently purchased the home of her dreams.

When a scheduling conflict prevents her cousin Jaime from making some much-needed renovations to her new house, he sends his friend, Gavan Murdoch—a gorgeous, hulking Scotsman with a brogue thicker than Highland fog—in his place. One look at the diminutive author and Gavan's protective defenses are up. He swore off women years ago following a devastating heartbreak.

After getting off to a very rocky start with Tessa in an effort to keep her at arms' length, Gavan succumbs to his desire for the petite, hot-tempered author, only to learn that he'll have no choice but to share her with millions of other men.


Wendy's Review
 
Cooper Lovell brought a entertaining book with a lot of laughs and equal amounts of sexual encounters.

Tessa Danver knew next to nothing about men but you couldn't tell it by her stories she created. The pages in her novel were smoking hot. Tessa bought herself a home that needed remodelling and when her cousin Jamie backs out he sent his best friend Gavan Murdoch to do the work for him.

Gavan was a hunky, gorgeous Scotsman who had trouble communicating with Tessa and ends up more times then once on her bad side. But with Gavan\s persuading her brought her around to her good side and gave her what she could write about, awesome orgasms and the best sex any woman could ask for.

As they got to know each other their love only deepened even when Gavan's jealousy threatens their relations ship.

This story had me laughing, enjoying the antics of the characters and most assuredly the sex scenes were by far the best I have read. Cooper has you reading with enthusiasm and wanting more than anything to have a highlander walking in my front door.

Great job!
