Looking Inside is one of the best erotic contemporaries I’ve read in a really long time. It’s not a perfect book, but it worked for me on every level. I devoured it. Basically if I had to take a shot for every one of the Elyse-catnip elements that shows up in this book, I’d be on the floor singing “Red Solo Cup.” If you put this book under a box being held up by a stick, it … Continue reading Looking Inside by Beth Kery
First of all, you’re welcome. Claimed by The Machine is a sci-fi erotic novella about some aliens who discover human beings, go to a brothel, and have buttsecks. They are not actually machines, but rather they are constructed out of organic material and I know this because machines don’t produce that volume of semen. So anyway, this book takes place in the distant future. Some aliens, who apparently are non corporeal and function like a hive … Continue reading Claimed by The Machine by Emily Tilton
This review is by Sabra Nicole, who previously wrote a guest review for How Not to Fall, which is the first book in this series. She absolutely loved it, so of course we want to hear how she liked the continuation of Annie and Charles’ romance. Her Twitter bio says she is a writer of things…mostly words, and she’s that fluent in both Geek and Sarcasm. How Not to Let Go, the second novel in Emily … Continue reading Guest Review: How Not to Let Go by Emily Foster
I wanted so much to like this book! Because hello…female photojournalist Domme and SWAT hero submissive. But to be frank, I found it to be rather boring. Beatrice and Warren have mutual friends who are a couple. Beatrice has always crushed on Warren, but thinks he hates her given his terse attitude every time they meet up at barbecues or dinner parties. While shooting pictures for said couple’s wedding, Beatrice overhears Warren on the phone … Continue reading Giving It Up by Audra North
This review is by Sabra Nicole, who wrote to me and asked about writing a guest review of Emily Foster’s How Not to Fall. She said, “it gave me all the feelings, and I have things to say, even a good week-plus after reading it.” Her Twitter bio says she is a writer of things…mostly words, and she’s that fluent in both Geek and Sarcasm. Welcome, Sabra! … This book was a god-damn revelation, and a very long … Continue reading Guest Review: How Not to Fall by Emily Foster
It’s taken me a while to put my tangled, jumbled thoughts on How Not to Fall into a somewhat coherent string of words. But I did it! Hopefully! When I first heard about this book after doing a podcast with Sarah and Emily (truly a highlight of my SBTB career, I must say), I lost my mind. It sounded smart and sexy, and if you know me, smart people doing sexy sex things is my … Continue reading How Not to Fall by Emily Foster
I didn’t receive a 2016 RITA® Reader Challenge review for this book, so I’m compiling quotes from reviews online and using the grade average from Goodreads as a substitute. This book has a 4.03 average, which I’m interpreting as an A-. Meli Mel *Ty and Zane’s Creeper* wrote: …This was the first book I have read where the dominant in this bdsm relationship is a woman. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it, but … Continue reading Break Me Down by Roni Loren
I’ve grown tired of the BDSM, sex clubs, and alpha males that so dominate erotica today. But Three Little Mistakes has all of those things and you know what? I loved it. I just loved this book. Why you ask? What changed my mind when I was so dead set against the three things that were the primary basis for the plot? Well, I’ll tell you why – because it was so well written. This book … Continue reading Three Little Mistakes by Nikki Sloane
Oh man, this was so good. I first read it a while ago, and my plan was to just skim it again to write this review…and whoops, there went two days of my life under the spell of this book (again). In case it might be helpful to anyone who is hesitant about the BDSM theme, I want to reassure you. I was a bit nervous myself (not being a habitual reader of “that sort … Continue reading For Real: A Spires Story by Alexis Hall
Warning: mild spoilers ahoy I loved this book. Like, had to seriously think hard to come up with anything to discuss that I didn’t love about it. And this is coming from a person who’s been in a serious fiction-reading drought lately (if we don’t count fanfiction, which some people don’t). For whatever reason, I’ve been finding it harder to get into novel-length stories lately and easier to just let myself bask in the wonder … Continue reading For Real: A Spires Story by Alexis Hall
Sugar is a novel about Siobhan Malloy, a 35 year old woman who co-owns a cafe/bakery with her best friend in a small town. And that’s where the cliches end. Siobhan is unique – she’s a recovering addict who has fought hard for the normalcy she has now. She also dances in a burlesque show as a hobby and likes to stand out with her retro sense of style. Charlie is a younger man, a … Continue reading Sugar by Seressia Glass
