A collection that includes all three novels in Anne Rice’s seductive retelling of the Sleeping Beauty story.

The Kindle version is on sale for just $1.99!
(regularly $26.99)

A spell has been cast upon a lovely young princess who sleeps, waiting for someone to save her. The Prince awakens Beauty, not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. His reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty’s complete and total enslavement to him...

In 1983, Anne Rice, writing as A.N. Roquelaure, began the first installment of a series that is now considered a forerunner of erotic literature. This collection—containing The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty’s Punishment, and Beauty’s Release—is a testament to Anne Rice’s irresistible talent, exploring the world of erotic yearning and fantasy in a classic trilogy that makes the forbidden side of passion a doorway into the hidden regions of the psyche and the heart.

Book Review: Wicked Fall (The Wicked Horse #1) by Sawyer Bennett #Giveaway

Holy. Frickin. Hell. I'm not sure exactly where to start here but let me say that "wicked" is a very appropriate title for this book. {fans self}

If you read Shaken, Not Stirred from Sawyer's Last Call series, we met Woolf very briefly there. (It is absolutely not required to read first, but I highly recommend that series). Ever since that first glimpse of Woolf, I have been anxious for this book ever since. The author's promise that it was gonna be a dirty one didn't make waiting any easier.

After the passing of his father, Woolf is now the head of his family's multi-million dollar ranching business in Wyoming. While he does love the ranch, it is not the only thing he loves. He also loves sex. Lots and lots of sex with lots and lots of women. Which is why he opened The Wicked Horse with his best friend Bridger, a popular country bar with an exclusive sex club out back. His life was filled with plenty of random sex and going just as he wanted it until Callie walked into his bar.

Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian by E.L. James

E.L. James announced on social media today that a new Fifty Shades of Grey book will be available on June 18. Grey will be Fifty Shades of Grey as told from Christian's point of view. Are you as excited for this as I am? To be clear, I'm run around my house with crazed Muppet arms excited!!

Book Review: The Exposé (The Exposé #1) by Roxy Sloane

Aspiring journalist Zoe Warren can't find a journalism job to save her life. She knows to get her foot in any door, she needs a big juicy story and she has an idea on how to get it: by getting a job as a hostess at the hottest sex club in NYC. She'll get in, get the scoop and run and expose that will get her name on the map. Except there is a problem standing in her way. A big, sexy problem in the form of club owner Dax Ryan. Dax is a bit suspicious of his new hostess and vows to keep a close eye on here. Or tongue as it may be. With him watching her every move, will he uncover her true motive for working at his club?

Dear lord I swear Roxy Sloane writes the sexiest men on the planet. We have another delicious dirty talker in Dax and I'm already addicted to him. This short novella was merely a morsel to wet the appetite for this story and boy am I hooked! Which comes as no surprise as I love everything this woman writes. This had a lot of sexy and a bit of intrigue and I can't wait for the next installment!

Book Review: Coda (Songs of Submission #9) by CD Reiss

Jonathan and Monica have been to hell and back in recent months. Life might be moving on but the strain is making them drift apart. This final book in the Songs of Submission series (a.k.a. the best series ever) is about a husband and wife finding their way back to one another and who they are.

This one was all about the feels. Oh so many bone deep feels. The previous book, Sing, ripped my heart out and then tap danced all over it. While it might have been put back in place by the end, like these two beautiful characters it wasn't fully healed. So for me, Coda was not only about Jonathan and Monica healing, but me as well. And it was not an easy process. Sure there is some beautifully punishing Jonathan sex involved, but like I said... the feels.

I cried. A lot. Again. There is more pain, there are huge fears to overcome, but despite the hurt it was a wonderful journey. Sad doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about the series being officially over. No one has captured me like these characters have and I don't think anyone else ever will.

Release Blitz: Complete Submission by CD Reiss

If you have followed this blog for the past two years, you know how much I love the Songs of Submission series by CD Reiss. The writing is powerful and hypnotic and it was the first series of books to have me binge reading into all hours of the night. When I first discovered it, books 1 though 5 had been released and I sat on my couch for hours, devouring them all one after the other. I didn't move until I was done and waiting for each subsequent book was damn near torture. This is hands down my favorite series of all time and if you haven't had the pleasure of reading Jonathan Drazen yet, you need to grab the complete series right now for this ridiculously low price of 99¢ before it is gone.

Book Review: Controlling Her Pleasure (Under His Command #1) by Lili Valente

Blake and Erin were  each others first loves, until the day she walked away without so much as a goodbye or an explanation. Now 8 years later, Blake needs to see her to take back a piece of him she still carries. And he wont take no for an answer. Just how far is he willing to go? While so much is the same, including their attraction, so much has also changed. He can't let is lust for her get in the way of what he needs to do.

Wow. I'm not sure exactly what I expected but it certainly wasn't that! Which is absolutely a good thing! I wanted to read and review this book based on the blurb and because I love a good BDSM themed story. Controlling Her Pleasure is the first installment of a 3 part serial and while it is short, it certainly is not lacking in the heat department. It only gives us a small a taste of Blake's Dom side, but damn it is one yummy morsel. I am a little shocked by his plan though and my heart clenched on multiple occasions for Erin. I get the feeling there is more to her story that we don't know yet and I don't think it will be sunshine and rainbows. I am anxious for the next part, which releases in March 2, 2015, and to see how this all unfolds.

Release Day: Total Submission (The Submission #3) by Roxy Sloane

Excerpt

“You need me,” I whisper in her ear. I slip a hand between her thighs, stroking a fingertip over the damp lace of her panties and the heat of her core. “You want me to order you down on your knees right now, command you to suck my cock. You want me to dominate you, my darling, because that’s the most alive you’ve ever felt before. And I can give it to you. I can give you what you need.”

Book Review: Sweet Submission (The Submission #1) by Roxy Sloane

Cam is a high powered executive and second in command at Ashcroft Industries. More importantly, in my opinion, he's Scottish which means he has a yummy accent.  His days are filled with business meetings and deals, but his nights are filled with bondage, dominance and submission. It's a part of him that he likes to keep private. Until Isabelle walks into his favorite sex club one night and fighting his attraction to her becomes even more difficult.

Her entire young adult life, Isabelle has pretended to be whatever the people in her life wanted her to be. But now, she is tired of faking it. When her asshole adoptive brother, Brent, takes things too far, Cam steps in to save her. Isabelle is determined to see more of Cam's dominant side but he is equally determined to keep her out.  How can she get past that stone wall he has thrown up between them?

When I get an email from Roxy Sloane containing her latest ARC, everything else in my world ceases to exist. Nothing else matters besides reading it right then and there. This was especially true for Sweet Submission since it is Cam and Isabelle's story, something that I have have been waiting for since The Seduction serial concluded.

Excerpt: Sweet Submission (Sweet Submission #1) by Roxy Sloane

Excerpt

Most women don’t know the pleasure of total surrender. You’ve fantasized about it. Maybe you’ve even tried. Asked for his hands to grip you a little tighter. If he could tie you up. Hold you down. Fuck you the way you need, his cock driving hard and relentless, riding your wet pussy until you can’t take it anymore. But he always stops too soon. Eases up before you’re done. He’s careful, cautious. You know, deep down, he’s not for real. He doesn’t mean it when he makes you beg for him to fuck you, doesn’t push you to your limits and demand everything you have to give—and more. He doesn’t realize that domination is an act of worship. The adoration of a woman beyond all limits; the reverence to give her the pleasure she truly deserves.

Book Review: Hansel Part 1 by Ella James

I never though I would get into erotic fairytales until I read Ella James' Red & Wolfe serial. Keep in mind that these are not simple retellings of the original stories with some sex added in. They are modern day adaptations and they are fabulous. And yes, very very naughty.

When Leah was a teenager she was kidnapped and held against her will in a house with many children in the same situation. The only thing that got her through each day was the boy in the next room: Hansel. Ten years after her capture and subsequent freedom, she is still struggling to survive in the after of such a traumatic event. The moment she sees him again it all comes crashing down. She needs to get close to him. Talk to him. Touch him again.

Since getting out of that house, Edgar (Hansel) has made a name, and a lot of money, for himself by opening sex clubs around the country. He's back at his original club in Vegas and while here he needs to find a new sub. The requirements? His subs must look as much like her as possible.

Book Review: The Invitation 2: Surrender by Roxy Sloane

It's been three years since Justine last saw Ashton. Three years since they shared the most explosive night of their lives and then she never heard from him again. Now there he is sitting across from her as opposing council on the most important case of her career. He is cold and condescending and even though he is still gorgeous as ever, he is nothing like that ash she remembers. He hurt her buy dropping out of her life and he doesn't seem to care.

But Justine doesn't have time to lament what could have been. She has to focus on this case and not let him distract her. Plus, she has sexy invitations from her secret lover to look forward to. No one has ever made her body come alive like he has with his wicked domination. The only problem is she has no idea who he is. Will he ever reveal himself to her? And of he does, who will she find herself looking at?

I love this serial so damn hard. Roxy Sloane will suck you in with dirty talk and then keep you hooked with not only extreme sexiness but an intriguing plot as well. There are so many questions that you will be dying to find the answer to. Why did Ash ignore Justine for three years? Is he still her same Ash underneath cold exterior he presents to the world? And more importantly, who is Justine's mystery man? You will 99% sure you know who it is but that 1% will constantly be nagging you in the back of your mind. Taunting you that you just might be wrong.

Book Review & Blitz: The Invitation #1 by Roxy Sloane

Holy. Fuckin. Shit.

I'm sorry that I just started off my review with profanity (#SorryNotSorry) but seriously there is no other way for me to describe how I felt after reading this book. I absolutely loved Roxy Sloane's The Seduction serial and somehow she has already blown me away with the first installment of The Invitation. I already love Ash more than I loved Vaughn, which I never would have believed to be possible.

Ash and Justine (J.J.) have been attending law school together for two years. Both of them are players but they decided early on that they would not cross that line with each other. So they became the best of friends sharing their sexual exploits and fantasies with one another. But two years of friendship turned into two years of longing. Now school is over and Ash is heading home to England tomorrow, and they both want to make their last night together one to remember.

What follows is the hottest night of their lives. No, hot doesn't even begin to adequately describe this book! It was naughty and dirty and absolutely perfect. Fast forward three years and Justine hasn't heard a word frm Ash despite her trying to contact him a few times. Now she is in New York working on a case when she receives a mysterious and sensual invitation. What, and more importantly who, awaits her if she accepts?

Fifty Shades of Grey The Movie Trailer #FiftyShades

It was the trailer seen round the world and if you are anything like me, you can't get enough of it! Yes I am aware that we have all watched it already, but I felt the need to post it here on the blog too. For my viewing pleasure every day. And yours too, of course. ;)

So tell me what you thought of the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer. Better then you expected? Still not sold? Are you excited for Valentine's Day?

I LOVE Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey and I cannot wait for this damn movie. February can't come fast enough for me.

While she is brand new to the world of BDSM, Eric knows it is what she both wants and needs and he slowly introduced her to it. What follows is a sensual journey of erotic exploration. I loved how Eric truly wanted to get Lena to open back up and of course I enjoyed the techniques he used to get her there. You could feel the pain of her past suffocating her and you could feel the relief when she finally starts to set it free.

Book Review: Dom Wars Round One & Round Two by Lucian Bane

Round One
Luciane Bane and Tara Reese are both in need of money when they see the add for the reality show competition Dom Wars. Somehow fate brings them together on the audition line and they find themselves as partners as the competition begins. While there is certainly a war going on between them and the other couples, there is also a battle going on between the two of them. Can these two dominate individuals find a way to be submissive as well in order to win?

This is definitely different than other BDSM books that I have read. And Lucian Bane isn't anything like the previous Doms I've read about either. So many ladies were saying great things about this serial so I just had to give it a try! I will say it started off a bit slow for me but it picked up as the story went on and soon I was 100% invested. There is something about Lucian that just tugs at my heart. Like the way he hates inflicting pain on Tara, to the point that it noticeably hurts him to do so. Of course there are things about him that tug at other parts of my body as well. (see favorite quotes). Tara, however, annoyed and infuriated me. Repeatedly. Clearly she has her own demons to battle and I am trying really hard to be sympathetic to that. I don't see how with her attitude they can possible win this entire thing, but I can't wait to find out.

Book Review: Interview with a Master by Jason Luke

Whenever I start a book that is getting a lot of hype, I get a little bit nervous. Will I love it or will I hate it? Well, there was no need for me to worry over Interview with a Master. Holy hell. This book is different from your usual erotica BDSM novels. First is the fact that it is written by a man and from a man's point of view. For those similar to myself who have gotten intrigued (understatement) by BDSM after reading Fifty Shades of Grey, this perspective is enlightening. Getting inside a Master's mind was pretty darn fascinating to me. Second, the interview aspect I found unique. Instead of the reader experiencing Jonah's sexual encounters first hand and in real time, they are being retold to us from his memory. And yes, these stories are down right scorching.

It is no wonder that the aspiring journalist, Leticia, is falling for Jonah just by spending time with him and listening to the story of his life. I guess the ending could be considered a bit of a surprise, but honestly I had my suspicions so it didn't shock me. This isn't a typical romance story where boy and girl meet, date and fall in love and I liked that.

While author Jason Luke has said on Twitter that he hadn't planned on writing a sequel, hopefully all of us fans can convince him to write one. I would love to read more about Jonah and Leticia.

Interview with a Master was equally thought provoking and panty melting and a must read in my opinion. If you are intrigued and turned on by BDSM novels, you not only need to read this but then have your boyfriend/husband read it when you are done. Hell, even if you're not into BDSM, there is a lot a man can learn from this book.
