One Urge, One Plea, Keep Me Trilogy by Scarlet Wolfe ♥ Review & GIVEAWAY ♥ (Contemporary/Erotic Romance)

“Tie me up, so I can be free.” –Alayna.

Erotica romance author and owner of one of the largest publishing companies, Damon Lear, has a secret that keeps him out of relationships and into behavior that is taboo to many. He is willing to set his strict rules aside for one memorable night with romance writer, Alayna Wynn, who he meets at his friend’s wedding. He fails at propositioning her, but they share one heated kiss, and he assures her they will meet again.

Damon gets his opportunity to seduce her when he rescues Alayna, keeping her from being stranded in an airport. Unable to leave his penthouse for days, she discovers it is impossible to resist the handsome, mysterious man who wants nothing more than to make her submissive.

When Alayna’s needs are not met, they both try to move on, but Damon sees that living the way he did before she walked in and out of his life is now impossible. He lures her back, and Alayna falls deeper into his world of BDSM. She is surprised to find it thrilling and wants to please Damon more than ever, being a willing participant in his hot fantasies.

Their relationship is soon threatened when details from Damon’s past are leaked to the media, forcing him to share with her his darkest secrets. Exes resurface, family interfere, and paparazzi stalk them, causing chaos. During it all, Damon battles to hold on to control by pushing Alayna sexually, introducing her to new, enthralling experiences. He soon realizes he’s losing the hold on his heart when he witnesses Alayna fighting for the both of them and submitting to him completely.

This is a sexy, steamy erotica romance that will leave you wanting more.

For a mature audience due to explicit sexual scenes and harsh language.


::: Standing ovation :::

This is quite possibly THE best story I have ever read.

This series is comprised of three books which should be read in order, and each one will need to be read in order to gain the full story.

The writing is fantastic. Scarlet weaves in the perfect amount of conflict, sarcasm and suspense. Technically, it is written very well with minimal proofreading issues.

We read the story from the respective points-of-view of Alayna and Damon. These two could not be more different from each other, and yet a series of circumstances brings them together for a chance encounter that changes their lives forever.

The story has a strong BDSM undertone. Normally I feel sort of "eh" toward books in that genre, but, in my opinion, this one used BDSM really as an illustration to show the growth and change in the characters as the story progressed.

Some mystery is sprinkled more and more from the middle to the end, and the way Scarlet reveals teeny tiny bits at a time had me DYING to find out what in the world happened to Damon in his past! (And, I must say, I never saw it coming!)

Speaking of HOT, the love scenes are AMAZING, and there is no shortage of them. Nope, Alayna and Damon cannot seem to keep their hands off of each other. No two scenes were exactly the same, or similar for that matter, which really held my interest. Again, noticing the role the BDSM played in the scenes as the book went along made it very enjoyable to read.

I actually got a smiley, warm, fuzzy feeling at the end of the book, especially with the epilogue. I was hoping this story would have an uber-happy ending, and by golly it did. I could not have imagined a better way to leave Alayna and Damon.

I would absolutely, without a doubt, read ANYTHING written by Scarlet Wolfe!

(As a side note, the trailer for this trilogy is AWESOME!)

***A copy of this book was provided in exchange for an honest review***
Scarlet Wolfe began writing in January of 2013 as a way to distract and heal from some of the grief she was dealing with after the death of her teenage son.

She instantly fell in love with bringing characters to life. Releasing contemporary romance throughout 2013, she has already branched out this year, releasing erotica and teen.

She loves her family, friends, chocolate, wine, stories about possessive, hot alpha males, and other flavors of ice cream besides vanilla. ;)

The Pretend Fiancé by Lucy Lambert ♥ GIVEAWAY ♥ (Contemporary Romance)

The Pretend Fiancé (A Billionaire Love Story, #2)
"What if he didn’t have that company and that money, though? Would you still feel the same way about him?"
After Aiden Manning, the billionaire CEO, let me into his life, I thought our problems were over. And when he went down on one knee, in front of my parents and all our friends, I knew there was only one answer to his question.

Yes...

However, as soon as I started feeling secure in our relationship, an old figure from his past arrived. She wasn't interested in congratulating us, she was only interested in breaking the two of us apart, just as Henry had done last year.


I sacrificed so much to make our relationship work, and I'd do it all again. However, will the secrets that I have to keep from Aiden be our undoing?

Rubenesque Rapture by Rose Wynters ♥ Book Tour & GIVEAWAY ♥ (Dystopian Paranormal Romance)

rapture2
The Series: Once upon a time, the world was just a black void. Then one day man came, but he wasn’t alone. He was followed by an ancient evil, a scourge determined to steal his soul. Centuries passed. Humanity did all it could to protect itself against the evil ones, but they weren’t equipped to fight this battle. Instead, all they could do was pray that Hell didn’t set its eyes upon them.

It got to be too much. Something had to be done.

Born out of desperate need, warriors were chosen. Immortality was granted to those strong enough to fight the battle that would never end. No longer mortal, these men have stood in the path of dark and horrifying evil, bearing the load when there was nobody else that could.

It’s all coming to an end. Time has ran out for humanity…


Hell is hot to get their hands on Anna Andrews, determined to use her plus-sized body for breeding purposes. Attacked by demons in her remote cabin in Alaska, she is sure there is no way out until a mysterious Endurer rescues her at the last moment. He’s been sent to get her to safety in Las Vegas, but he never counted on the sexual attraction that flares immediately between them.

Shayne McLoughlin was born in the 1400’s and lived as a Monk, until a brutal attack destroyed his entire family, changing his life forever. Now an immortal Endurer that protects humanity from demonic beings, he expects his next assignment to be like any other. Until he meets the rubenesque beauty he has been sent to protect.

On the race to reach the safety of Las Vegas, they discover an explosive attraction that can’t be ignored. He can battle the demons that want her, but can he have victory over the power of her mind? Plagued by her past and an ex-boyfriend that used her in an attempt to satisfy his debt to Hell, Anna finds it hard to believe this gorgeous man is serious about her.

As the very world stands on the cusp of Armageddon, Shayne is determined to have this full-figured beauty at any cost. There isn’t any rule he won’t break to claim Anna and keep her. Danger follows their every step as passion ignites at every turn. Is it a battle this Endurer can win?
Two taller, grotesque creatures started towards them, their red eyes gleaming unnaturally in the twilight of the evening.

Shayne was ready for them, an ornately carved dagger in each hand. “You girls looking to play?” he asked, his velvety, deep voice cutting through the night. “I know I am. Look, I’m even wearing my play clothes.” He was dressed completely in black.

The two glanced at each other before charging him as one. Shayne met them in a running leap just seconds before the two screamed in pain. The daggers moved quickly and immediately one of the demons fell, smoke rising from its body.

He glanced over to the last one standing and shook his head in disgust. His knife had carved deeply into the side of his face, leaving the flesh gaping open. Copious amounts of black fluid poured out, and he was missing an ear.

“Damn,” he said as his lip curled up in a sneer. “You guys just get uglier and uglier, don’t you? It looks like your face caught on fire and someone tried to put it out with a fork.”

He could see three more hellions spread out in the parking lot, but they paused at his words. They knew he was an Endurer, with the full backing of Heaven behind him. The evil inside of them naturally recoiled from the purity contained within his daggers and sword. It didn’t stop the demon in front of him though.

“What a great idea,” he growled at Shayne. “I’ll have fun trying it out on you in Hell.”

Shayne beckoned with his hand as he said mockingly, “You, I’m going to kill just to put you out of your misery.”

All pretense at humanity faded. The white skin darkened to a disgusting shade of dark green, and thick horns erupted from its skull. This was the true form of the minion, and it wasn’t pretty.
