IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT…

Cassidy Burke has the best of both worlds, a driven and successful husband and a wild, impulsive best friend. But after a decadent Mardi Gras party, Cassidy finds both men pulling away from her. Did the three of them awaken secret desires during a split-second of alcohol-fueled passion? Or is Mardi Gras a time when rules are meant to be broken without consequence?

Only one thing is for certain—the chill that’s descended over her marriage, and her most important friendship, will soon turn into a deep freeze if she doesn’t do something. And soon.

LIGHT THIS FLAME AT THE SCENE OF YOUR GREATEST PASSION AND ALL YOUR DESIRES WILL BE YOURS.

The invitation stares out at her from the window of a French Quarter boutique. The store’s owner claims to have no knowledge of the strange candle. But Cassidy can’t resist its intoxicating scent or the challenge written across its label in elegant cursive. With the strike of a match and one tiny flame, she will call forth a supernatural being with the ultimate power—the power to unchain the heart, the power to remove the fear that stands between a person and their truest desires.

 



4.5 Stars

Tantalizing, tempting, and erotic. Christopher Rice nails erotic romance.

The 11th installment of the 1001 Dark Nights series, The Flame by Christopher Rice is like an erotic assault on your senses. Mr. Rice's talent for descriptive writing not only leaves your visual pallet stimulated, the aromatic descriptions make you want to close your eyes and let your sense of smell take you away.  It's hard to believe this is Mr. Rice's first attempt at an erotic romance. He writes it like a seasoned pro.

His characters are likable, the setting is amazing and the passion is beyond hot. In the short 80 pages Mr.Rice takes the reader on a mystical and erotic fantasy ride. Capturing a taste of New Orleans and the freedom she seem to instill on those that dwell within her!
I look forward to seeing what Mr. Rice has in store for his readers with his, Desire Exchange Series.  I have a feeling that many cool drinks with be need for this series , as the pages The Flame are steamy!

Book 4 Dare to Love series

ebook

Published September 8th 2014 by CP Publishing

Decklan Dare knows about the unexpected loss of loved ones and for this reason, he values control in all areas of his life. Amanda Collins enjoys the freedom she finds in casual encounters without the emotional connection a relationship brings. They meet and their physical attraction is mutual but both experience feelings that could run deeper – if they drop their guard and let each other in. Decklan is first to trust, but when he discovers the secret Amanda’s been hiding, will he forgive? Or will he rebuild every wall before she has a chance to explain?

 

4 Stars

Decklan and Amanda are first brought together by mutual attraction at an exclusive BDSM club but when the attraction gets serious someone is going to get hurt.  Decklan is a paramedic with a tragic past and a need to control all things in his life.  Amanda is a loyal friend who has given up almost everything to keep a secret.  When the two meet fireworks are instant and  something has to give; but when secrets aren't shared and you live states away, is it possible to make a relationship work?

The Dare series are all stand alone and that's what attracted me to Dare to Submit.  I was looking for something that I could get lost in without making a long term commitment;  However, Carly Phillips made me fall in love.  This book has everything: strong characters, hot sex, and just a hint of tragedy and heartbreak that make you want everything to be ok.  I highly recommend this read for anyone looking for a wonderfully written romance.

I requested and received a copy of this book from netgalley for an  honest review.  All the opinions are my own.  Book description and image came from Carly Phillips website which can be found by clicking on the image.  Happy reading!!

Through My Window by Jayne Rylon

Through My Window

Red Light series Book 1

Kindle Edition, 2nd edition, 49 pages

Published June 18th 2014 by Happy Endings Publishing (first published September 2010)

Through my window, a sea of strangers swirl and retreat like waves in an ocean of humanity. I brush my hair, fix my makeup and flip on the glaring red light in my booth before turning to face my audience on the other side of the glass.

For Star, this is just another night on the job, though no two are ever alike. She loves her career and excels at bringing her customers pleasure, relief or intimacy. Adaptable and perceptive, she becomes many things in the course of one evening–whore, lover, nurse, psychologist and friend. But above all, she’s still a woman. And her customers change her with every encounter. Through her window, she observes the world and enhances it when it spills into her realm.

 

4 Stars

Don't just look in the window, step through it.  Star, a sex worker in the red light district of Amsterdam, is unlike any woman I have read.   She has the confidence and worldliness that as a woman I wish that I possessed.  She is proud of who and what she is in a world that many look down upon.

A prostitute by profession, but I didn't see her as a whore. Star had a way of looking at things differently. She has the ability to read people and see past the surface. To see to their needs almost like a sixth sense.   The woman was truly mind blowing in more ways than one.

A quick read that more than draws you in.  Sexy, erotic and exotic, Jayne Rylon’s Through My Window is a very unique story filled with pride, unexpected passion and a depth I did not expect. You will just have to read and see it from the other side of the window for yourself.

I will be quickly one-clicking the remaining books in the series.
