Sweet Agony by Charlotte Stein is an erotic romance with a Gothic twist, and it is pure unadulterated Elyse-bait. Please prepare for Squee. We have Squee inbound, so take cover and bring snacks. We might be here awhile. We have a recluse hero with an unbearably sexy voice and impressive lexicon, we have a Gothic mansion, and we have lots of sexy times that turn into something poignant. More than that, we have a Dom … Continue reading Sweet Agony by Charlotte Stein→

Three Sweet Nothings opens with Kyle getting himself off to a memory of his ex, Ruby (because she’s SO much better than porn). Specifically, he’s recalling a time when he and drunk Ruby fooled around with another girl. This has been his go-to image for five years since their ugly breakup. And based on this single memory, Kyle is absolutely certain that “a filthy freak hid behind that deceptive, good girl front.” (Yes, Ruby’s curious … Continue reading Three Sweet Nothings by Nikki Sloane→
I initially had a hard time getting into this story, but once I did, I enjoyed it very much. I think the initial problem was because this is book eight in a series, none of which I have previously read. The story started off with a meeting of a lot of characters who would be well known to fans of the series, but of course for me it was like being dumped into a group … Continue reading The Master by Tara Sue Me→
I have to start this review by admitting that erotic romances are not my usual cup of tea, and when I looked at the sign up sheet, I did not expect to pick the category for my review. However, I changed my mind when I saw that there was a Nikki Sloane book nominated, and that it was one from her Blindfold Club series that I didn’t realize had been published. I read the rest … Continue reading Three Sweet Nothings by Nikki Sloane→
When I read through the preview of Off the Clock, what struck me initially about the story were the paragraphs of exquisitely written smut being written by one of the characters — then the author of those sentences groaning and pitching the draft of his script away. It was the perfect depiction of every person ever who has tried to write a sex scene. I’m not sure when I last bought an erotic romance so … Continue reading Off the Clock by Roni Loren→
The Red by Tiffany Reisz is an erotic journey though art history. It’s a book that pushes the envelope, and one that won’t be for all readers, but one that I found immensely enjoyable. In many ways it reads like an erotic fairytale, complete with an ending that felt a little too convenient. Mona Lisa St. James promised her mother that she would do anything in her power to save the family art gallery, The Red. … Continue reading The Red by Tiffany Reisz→
Y’all, this book made me do something very, very bad indeed. 10 pm at night and I had promised myself one more chapter (I had a good chunk of the latter half to go before I finished – and work the next day) before I went to bed. This was not what happened. What happened was that by 2 am I had turned the page on the epilogue, eyes leaden with sleep but with zero … Continue reading The Master by Tara Sue Me→
Oh, hey. I agreed to review this book, but I don’t really remember much about it even though I finished it yesterday. I know that it mostly was about decorating a house, and that the heroine had a secret and that there was a LOT of not particularly interesting sex. Let’s try this again. The book starts with Vessa, our heroine, visiting a woman named Donna (like a title) Edith. Donna Edith matches people with … Continue reading The Dirty Secret by Kira A. Gold→
No joke – when I started writing this review, I had to look up the name of the book because I totally forgot. That pretty much sums up my feelings for Ravenous. I swear I wanted to finish this book. I stopped and started reading it again multiple times in the hopes I would finally give two shits about the plot or the characters, but alas, it was not to be. When I got to … Continue reading Ravenous by M. S. Force→
Usually, I give book around a hundred pages before I throw in the towel. A lot can change in those hundred pages. But for Fighting Attraction, I made it to page thirty-nine before I noped on out of there. Before I get to the series of instances that seems to get progressively worse in the book, I want to issue trigger warnings for violence against women, self-harm, and issues with consent. Now, this is billed as … Continue reading Fighting Attraction by Sarah Castille→
