 Excerpt: 

Taming the Beast by Erzabet Bishop



Allyse flounced down the hall toward the dining room. It was a struggle to keep the smile off her face. If only she could see the mysterious Soren once more while she was here. She could swear he felt a connection the same as she had. And those eyes. They would be in her dreams. Romance novel hero hot, he made her want to go back to her room and read some more werewolf smut, or just blow off the event entirely and go hunting for Soren. Maybe he was related to the bachelor. They did have the same last name. She nibbled thoughtfully on her lip as she made her way to the opening event. It was detailed on her list of activities and she didn’t want to be late.
She neared the entrance of the dining room and hit one of the event check points. A group of three contestants were standing close to the door. One of the heavy lidded blondes gave her a slant eyed glance and whispered something to her compatriots. They erupted into laughter and swept past her all garbed in short glittery barely there dresses and nose bleed heels.
“Make sure you ask for the light course honey.” The tallest of the three whispered, winking as she passed by.
Allyse stared after the woman, fury and embarrassment seething within her.
How dare they?
“You’re wearing that?” A clipboard bearing young man approached and eyeballed Allyse’s wardrobe.
“Yes. Yes, I am.” Allyse glanced down at her dress and frowned. It was new. Long and black, it flowed down her form gracefully.
He winced and wrote something down. “Go ahead then. I suppose it’s too late now.”
“Too late for what?” She didn’t understand and after what had just happened, she wanted to sit down and get through the meeting so she could find an escape. Maybe there was a library. The idea made her smile. She stood in the open door to the dining room and paused. Every other girl in the room was decked out in short tight fitting glitter and sequins.
“Don’t worry about it, honey. Just don’t let all the sequins in there blind you.”

Trying to shake her anger, Allyse glanced around the room as she made her way to the last empty chair. It was at the end of the table and had the clearest vantage point to see the mysterious bachelor. The dining room, like the rest of the house, was tasteful and traditional. It relaxed her and holding her chin up, she marched past the blonde troll.

Hard Rock Candy by Liz McMullen


**Hard Rock Candy is a short erotic story** 

Lea Hunt’s Pride parties are legendary, from the scantily clad cocktail servers to the succulent finger foods. She is craving something more exotic than her standard fare, but Jade Emerson makes it clear she is off the menu. Lea is disappointed, but determined. When a public display of Jade’s strategically placed piercing gives her the opening she is hoping for, she goes in for the kill. The debauchery that followed could make the most seasoned exhibitionist blush. 

***WARNING*** This story is intended for a mature audience. It depicts graphic sex between two women. 

Goodreads

Amazon

Review:

I love a short story that goes straight to the plot and gives me the scorching heat I'm looking for in less time than it takes me wind down for an afternoon nap. That's what I got with this little jewel of a tale as we meet Lea. She's bored with the standard party fare and wants something more gritty in her choice of companion for the night. Jade is not her usual type, and she lets her know quickly that an interlude with her is not even in the remote land of possibility. When Jade shows some party goers her piercing, Lea is beside herself with lust and in a very public performance, shows her guest just how much she appreciates her show and tell.

This book will curl your toes and leave you gasping for breath. Every naughty thing you can think of rests between the pages and is artfully done. Make sure you have a good large glass of ice water handy after you've read this one! Hot doesn't even cover it. This is raw sexuality between two women who hunger for something more than fluffy lovemaking. Sheer physical need morphs into a blistering heat that will suck you in and leave you panting on the other side.

5/5

Kudos to Liz McMullen on her first foray into erotic short stories. I have been a guest on her show many times with some pretty spicy discussions to boot.

Check out her show with some sexy reading below. Just make sure you know it isn't safe for work!

As Claire falls deeper in love with Evan, she realizes that he is holding back and decides to end their relationship, forcing Evan to confront his own past and his feelings in order to save his new love.
Winner of the New Writing Competition at the Festival of Romance 2011


 Review in progress...

I picked up this book and fell in love in the first few moments. A woman who has ended a long term relationship and is alone with a dog. God grief! If my husband ever passed, that would be me. Bookstore and a book club. Yep. I am so there. (manager of a bookstore in my non writing and blogging hours after all). Being alone is a very scary thing. It has a lot of freedom, but a lot of risks and Elene Sallinger sums up the terror of aloneness so well in her opening pages that I couldn't help but want to dive in deeper. Add in the kinky BDSM element and you have me totally hooked. Love it!

So, stay tuned for more of a review as I finish this wonderful book. I love the voice!

About the Author:
Hailing from Washington, DC, Elene Sallinger first caught the writing bug in 2004 after writing and illustrating several stories for her then four-year-old daughter. Her writing career has encompassed two award-winning childrens stories, a stint as a consumer-education advocate, as well as writing her debut novel, Awakening - a novel of erotic fiction that won the New Writing Competition at the Festival of Romance 2011.
Excerpt:
‘I feel safe here.’ She waved a hand around to encompass the bookstore. ‘You make me feel safe. Despite your attitude, I don’t believe you would hurt me.’ Claire flushed such a sweet shade of pink as she spoke, her hazel gaze roaming the store as she looked everywhere but at him.
Safe. She thought she was safe with him. That he wouldn’t hurt her. Evan sat in stunned silence for the briefest moment before a red tide of fury suffused his body. Fury at Marianne for dying and leaving him alone when she had been the centre of his life. Fury at Claire for tempting him and reviving desires that he’d believed were dead and buried with his love. Fury at himself for being so damned foolish and afraid in the face of his temptation. In that moment, he knew himself for a coward and he snapped.
‘Safe. You think you’re safe with me?’ he all but sneered at her. ‘You know nothing.’ He spit the words at Claire as he leant, forward his hands clenched into fists on his knees. She shrank away from him, pushing so far back into the leather club chair her feet no longer touched the floor. Her eyes were wide with shock and the beginnings of fear. Shame crawled over his skin and he reached for self-control, only to lose it all over again when her small, white teeth bit into her trembling lower lip.
‘Damn you!’ He slammed a fist down on the arm of his chair, causing her to jump at the violence of his action. ‘You are anything but safe with me. Every time you walk through that door all I can think about is bending you over my lap and spanking that pretty little ass until it is shiny, red, and stinging. Then fucking you from behind so that the sting feeds the orgasm I give you. I fantasise about binding you and whipping those sweet little tits, your pussy, and your ass. Marking you everywhere so that each time you look in the mirror you remember me and how I put them there, and then beg me to put more on you when they heal. I want to drench you in my come, fuck you in every goddamn hole, and make you scream until you can’t speak.’
As the words died on his lips, he dragged in a breath and took Claire in, really saw her now that the apex of his anger had passed somewhat. She was glassy-eyed and panting. The knuckles of her slim, elegant fingers were white and she gripped the arms of her chair as if her life depended on it. She looked like she was having a panic attack.
Fear and shame overrode his anger and he lurched forward, coming around and sitting on the table before her. He took her face between his palms. She was so tiny, his hands seems to swallow her up.
‘Claire.’ He spoke softly, soothingly, as he rubbed his thumb over her cheeks. ‘Claire, please. Look at me.’
She turned just a fraction, closing her eyes and refusing to look at him. Her motion brought his thumb to rest on her lower lip. Quickly, so quickly he almost missed it, she licked his thumb. It was the barest touch, but the sight of her pink tongue against his skin was more than he could take. What control remained to him was lost.
‘Damn you,’ he repeated, but this time it was the hoarse whisper of a drowning man. ‘Suck it,’ he demanded as he thrust his thumb between her full, rosy lips. She obeyed instantly, enveloping the digit in wet, velvet heat. A shudder coursed through him at the silken feel of her mouth on his skin. She sucked gently in slow draws that he felt all the way to his cock, which surged violently to life.
With his other hand he untied the bow that held the halter of her dress together and yanked the barrier from her body so that it pooled at her waist in a lake of red silk. She faltered briefly, but continued to suck on his thumb as he squeezed her breast, massaging and shaping it in his large palm. She was small, tiny even; the entire globe barely filled his palm, but his mouth watered to taste her. He pulled his thumb from her mouth and trailed damp circles around each nipple before leaning down to suck the puckered tips into his mouth. He sucked hard, eliciting a cry of pained pleasure from her as she arched into his mouth.
He squeezed and pulled, sucked and bit at her nipples furiously, his mind blank except for the driving urge to mark her, claim her. Only when they were red and swollen, jutting out from the cream of her skin, did he leave her breasts. But he was far from done with her. He yanked her hips forward and roughly pushed the skirt of her dress up to her hips. She wore a brief, black silk thong which disappeared in a savage yank as he tore it from her. The fragile elastic snapped as easily as if it were an errant thread. He dropped the offending silk to the floor and threw her legs over the arms of the chair so that she was spread and open to him.

He didn’t stop to appreciate the sight she made, though the memory would haunt him later. Her eyes were half-closed and glazed with desire. Her rosy lips were parted and damp from her tongue. Her small, tight breasts were swollen and tipped with hard, berry-red pebbles from his earlier feasting. The scarlet silk pooled at her waist, framing and showcasing her plump hips and drenched pussy. The damp curls were trimmed close, just a shade darker than the honeyed brown of her tousled hair. No, in that moment, he only took in the sandpaper dryness of his throat and the need to taste her.

Goldie's Locks and the Three Men and a Kick Ass Interview with Liz Adams



A modern erotic retelling of the Fairy Tale Goldilocks.

What if the only way to find the right man was to instead find the right men? As a thief, Goldie is always on the run so she can never settle down with one lover. But when she tackles one final job, could the three bearish men inside the mansion she's staking out promise her more than she could ever dream possible. Goldie's Locks and the Three Men, a modern erotic fairy tale fantasy for women. Her locks and her men, she sure knows how to pick 'em.

WARNING: In this modern erotic fairy tale, Goldie is a thief that has a way of unlocking men’s hearts and stealing their money and clothes. In her search to find rich men to swindle, she instead finds a heart-pumping, thigh-squeezing fantasy for women like herself, including: solo M, M/F, F/F, light B&D, and lots of bare-chested men to enjoy. For 18 years and older.


Review:

This retelling of the Goldilocks story was a hot one. It revolves around a girl with the desire never to be victimized again. After some bumpy early life experiences, she hardens her heart, learns some sexy tricks and is determined to seduce her way into riches. When things don't go quite as planned, she tries to abstain from thievery, but can't resist the thrill of the hunt. 

When Goldie finds the perfect mark, she comes out of her semi-retirement and hits the ground running. A heavy duty mansion filled with three hunky men is the target of her wiles. I am pretty sure, but I think I stopped breathing for a little while as I read the break- in part and the fun scenarios that ensued. Liz Adams can create some hot scenes in the kitchen! I will never look at a spatula quite the same way again! *fans face*

This read was a HEA with a surprising twist. You may think you know just how each of these three bears is going to react to Goldie sleeping in their beds, but just wait. You won't see this one coming. Great job Liz! I have a list of fairy tales I would love to see you take on.  I enjoyed this book very much and read it in one sitting. What a lovely way to spend my vacation afternoon!

4.5/5

*Hot
*BDSM
*Sexy and wanton scenes




Interview time!

1. How did you get started writing erotica?
In college, I had a few outrageous sexual encounters. One in particular was my discovery that I could have female ejaculations. But it wasn't so much that sexual discovery that made the memory so hot. It was the way I discovered it. Who helped me out. Where we were. That exciting memory has kept me crying out in spasms on lonely nights ever since.
When I discovered that there was a series of anthologies called Campus Sexploits, I finally wrote down my experience and submitted it to Naughty Nights Press, the publisher of the anthology. Out of over 170 submissions, mine was one of four that got accepted. I have to say, I wasn't too surprised. The memory of my sexual discovery has been such a good solo sex partner in my bedroom over the years, I knew it would be just the thing for other women's bedrooms, too.
I got such a great response from people who read my short story in the anthology, that I decided to keep going and put out my erotic version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice’s Sexual Discovery in a Wonderful Land.
2. What about fairy tales trips your trigger?
Fairy tales are the source of strong, animalistic interactions where emotions run hot and actions are driven by instinct and fundamental desires. Fairy tales provide an ample field to play out highly emotional situations. How could I resist inserting my fingers into the pages of such stories and seeing what juicy tales I could create?
Also, I’ve always loved the never-ending possibilities of what could happen in a fairy tale. The imagination is free to run wild and in places like Alice’s wonderful land, if anything goes, believe me. That means anything goes.
3. Open the book and tell us what is happening.

If I open my Alice’s Sexual Discovery story to a random page, here’s what I get. It’s a scene from when Alice is sitting in a circle of naked men around a campfire:
Alice sucked in a breath when she suddenly remembered she had something a hell of a lot more exciting than contract law.
“I hope it’s still here.” Stuffing her hand in her pocket she found what she was looking for. Yes! The Story of O!
“Stop! Stop!” Alice shouted. “I have a much better story to read you!”
The men talked all at once. “Better than The Non-Disclosure Agreement?” and “Does it have any life-threatening clichés in it?” and “You can read?”
“This is MUCH better than The Non-Disclosure Agreement and no, there are no life-threatening clichés in it.” Alice waved the book over her head like a trophy.
“What’s it called?” Several men wanted to know.
Alice read the title aloud, “It’s called The Story of…” That was strange. The title changed.
“Stupid title,” one man said.
“Yeah, kind of leaves you hanging,” another said.
“No—” Alice stared at the cover. “I didn’t finish reading the full title. It’s just…the title changed.”
“Read the full title, already,” a man whined.
“It says, The Story of OMH."
“Oh, now that’s a good title!” One man cried quite pleased.
Alice opened the book and began to read aloud. “ ‘Old Mother Hubbard lived in a cupboard…’ ”

4. Plotter or pantster?
I usually plot and pant at the same time. ;-)
5. What is next for you in your writer's line up?
I just came out with an erotic version of Goldilocks called Goldie’s Locks and the Three Men. Goldie is a thief trying to find the right life by stealing people’s wealth. When she attempts to rob a mansion occupied by three bearish men, she realizes the right life she seeks can be found by other means. Her locks and her men, she sure knows how to pick ‘em. I added a surprise twist to this story that my readers seem to really love.
I’m also working on a series that’s the sexual travel journal of someone best described as Wonder Woman’s college-bound daughter. It takes place in St. Petersburg, Russia and she has quite a number of wonderful escapades along with confrontations that demand she use her super powers.

Now for fun...
6. Chocolate cake or angel food?
Chocolate cake. I’ve never eaten angels before.
7. Beach or mountain vacation?
Definitely the beach. Often, during photo shoots for the summer catalogue, we pose in bikinis at a beach in the winter so it’s freezing cold. It’s always nice to go to a beach during the summer when it’s warm for a change.
8. Beer or wine?
Wine. I like having white wine handy when I write to see if I can make it blush.
9. Burgers or sushi?
A combination of both called su-gers. I mostly find my sugers in a box of assorted chocolates.
10. What is your most favorite ice cream flavor?
The kind that doesn’t run away from you when you sneeze.

Savage Angel Virtual Book Tour



Savage Angel
by Stacy Gail

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Book two in The Earth Angels

Feel nothing. Sara Savitch's personal mantra has been hard to live by ever since her torrid one-night stand with army doctor Gideon Mandeville. Descended from the Seraphim, angels known as heaven's soldiers, Sara may be an expert fighter, but she's an amateur when it comes to relationships.

Physically unharmed, but still battle-scarred, Gideon has returned to Dallas in the hopes of regaining his faith in humanity—and in himself. Instead he's walked into a nightmare. His father is on a serial killer's hit list, and has hired a personal bodyguard—the very woman who has haunted Gideon's dreams for a year.

As Sara works to build an impenetrable fortress around her client, she yearns to tear down the one around Gideon's heart. With his bitter rejection of warriors, will he ever be able to accept her true nature? Sara must find a way to trust Gideon with her secret as the killer closes in…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~


“Let’s make this quick,” she announced without preamble, heading over to the desk and gesturing an invitation toward the chairs on the opposite side of it. “I have a meeting waiting for me, along with about a fifty other things that need to get done before noon. And in future, I’d appreciate it if you would call and make an appointment the next time you want a face-to-face.”

“An appointment? For me?” Refusing to even look at the chairs she’d indicated, Gideon kept his distance and stayed by the windows, his expression so remote he looked as unapproachable as the moon. “Do you insist all your lovers do that, or is it just me?”

She hoped her swift intake of breath was something only she heard. “You’ve made it apparent we don’t have that kind of relationship and after yesterday, I’m forced to agree with you. You’re not my lover, or boyfriend, or even acquaintance. We’re strangers, and I have no problem keeping it that way.”

“Except for the small fact that strangers don’t usually have mind-blowing sex up against the garage wall, do they?”

Her fingers curled into her palms, and she wondered if her face looked as neon-red as it felt. “And here I was, thinking you’d forgotten about that.”

“Something that hot is hard to forget.”

This story had some great twists and turns. Gideon was a tough nut to crack and was a little hard to like at the beginning. His PTSD was mostly to blame but it still made me really want to pop him in the head a few times. 

Angels and the battle for good and evil made this a powerful read once things got going. There is an underlying question about who or what Sara is. Yes, she is a security specialist, but she is also a kick butt angel. (should have been an angel ninja-totally kick butt!) I wished several times that she would use that power to whap Gideon one, but that's just me. lol.

A fun paranormal read!

4/5

Eternal Bliss: The Review




ETERNAL BLISS
Bonnie Sansom

193 pages

Action/adv. sus/myst. Contemporary

BDSM.  M/F.   Anal Play.  Toys

They say things come in 3's and so many times it proves to be true.  But when accidents come in 3's it is nice to know that the end results can vary so nicely.

The humor starts early and is fantastic all the way.  Emotions find their peaks and  pleasure readily. Fabulous sex abounds and Laine and Kyle see to thrive.

Laine is a strong woman who knows what she wants and works very hard to achieve what she feels is right.

Kyle is strong, compassionate, true blue and a fireman with purpose.

Be sure you set aside plenty of time to enjoy this delightful, humorous story that will have you waiting ever anxiously for what comes next be it sex(which there is plenty of) or the "now what". Don't ever forget that those gag gifts can be very explosive.

Don't know if there is a 5 alarm fire or not but this gets 5 stars!

Reviewer: Victoria Storm

I always love the depth of character you get from a Bonnie Sansom book! This book was indeed a 5 alarm bit of hot BDSM storytelling. I loved every page. The characters are memorable and stick with you. Wonderful read!!! The only thing I didn't like was that it ended. More!!!

5/5

Cowboy Lust Virtual Book Tour and Giveaway


Cowboy Lust
an anthology edited by Delilah Devlin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

These cowboys ride hard...

There's a reason Western romance novels never go out of fashion. The cowboy is an iconic figure embodying the dichotomy of the fiercely independent, earthy alpha male crossed with the male as a nurturer and protector. Cowboys take care of their women in every possible way. Wild and wayward women are gentled by the scent of horse and cow and the sight of sun-kissed skin, the feel of work-hardened thighs and arms, and the sound of a deep-voiced Texas drawl.

Contributors at the top of the Western romance genre, including Charlene Teglia, Randi Alexander, Cat Johnson, and editor, Delilah Devlin, have corralled strong and memorable characters ranging from ranch hands to cattle barons, to a rodeo star and a feisty female gunslinger. Traversing romantic settings from Montana, Texas, California, Mexico, and the Outback of Australia, the stories in Cowboy Lust are risky and risqué, full of studs in spurs hot enough to send you to a vacation on a dude ranch!





One randomly drawn commenter at each stop will win one of the following:

Cowboy Bad Boys (digital) by Randi Alexander
Reader’s Choice of any backlisted ebook by Lissa Matthews
Reader’s Choice of any backlisted ebook by Charlene Teglia during her stop
Reader’s Choice of any backlisted ebook by Cari Quinn (x4)
"I'll show you my e-reader if you show me yours" T-shirt (Large size) from Kimber Vale
Reader’s Choice of any backlisted ebook by Delilah Devlin during her stops (x2)
Signed copies of Cowboy Fever by Delilah Devlin to two winners
Love in Short Order (digital), a romance by Michael Bracken writing as Rolinda Hay
Stud (digital), an erotic romance by Michael Bracken writing as Rolinda Hay

Plus one randomly drawn commenter will win a $50 Amazon GC grand prize. So, make sure you leave a comment about your favorite smokin hot cowboy!







EXCERPT: 

“The Ranch Hand”  by Sedona Fox:

Jesse carried Charlene to the guest bed and laid her down gently.  He made quick work of unbuttoning the front of her dress and grabbed his boot knife from the side table, slicing the corset’s lacing on both sides.  He never understood why women would torture themselves with such a restricting garment and he had seen too many suffer the consequences of the fashion.  This woman had seemed uncomfortable from the moment they met, and he wondered if she normally adopted more practical clothing on a day to day basis.  The fact that her skin held a healthy sun glow told him she didn’t spend her days shielded by shadow doing needlepoint. 

Now that the corset had been loosened, her breathing became easier.  Jesse couldn’t help but place his hand on her cheek as he watched her.  He tried to tell himself it was to make sure she didn’t have some kind of fever that may have caused her distress.  Suddenly, he found himself brushing her bottom lip with his thumb.  Her skin was like silk and he wondered if her hair was just as soft.  The space where her full lips parted was like an invitation to kiss her, but he held himself back as her eyelids fluttered, slowly opening to reveal the rich brown of her eyes.

“How are you feeling, Miss Solt?”  

“Charley,” she whispered.  Was she delirious?  Her eyes did still seem a bit glazed.  Or was she mistaking him for someone else?  That thought disturbed him.

“Everyone calls me Charley,” she continued.  “Except for Papa.”  Her gaze flickered around the room and back to him, and she seemed more aware of her situation.  “What happened?”

“You fainted,” Jesse told her, a slight smirk picking up the corner of his mouth.  “Why you women insist on wearing such things is a mystery to me.”


1. How did you get started writing erotica?  Writing erotica is something I never thought I would do.  I read a lot of romance and erotica, but had always written in other genres.  I went to a signing event to get a book signed and met several other authors while I was there.  Delilah Devlin was one of those authors.  She told me about different calls for submissions that were available and I decided to go for it.  That is how The Ranch Hand came about.  I am thrilled to be included in the Cowboy Lust anthology.


2. What is the funniest sex scene you ever had to write and why?  For me, any sex scene I write strikes me as humorous.  Mainly because I blush so much while writing it.


3. Cowboys are pretty sexy. Who are some of your favorites?  Clint Eastwood and Sam Elliott.  They both have that ruggedness about them that I find intriguing.  They represent what I always thought cowboys would be like.  Although, Nathan Fillion played an incredible modernized cowboy in Firefly.  Admittedly, I have a thing for gunslingers.


4. What other writing projects are you working on?  Currently, I’m working on the first book of a paranormal romance series called Darkstar Assassins.  I’m hoping to have it out by the end of 2012 or the very beginning of 2013.


5. Cowboys vs. Aliens or Blazing Saddles?  Cowboys vs. Aliens.  I have a soft spot for sci-fi.


6. Lone Ranger or John Wayne?  Lone Ranger.  I think it’s the mystery of the mask.


7. What makes a cowboy erotica story really hot for you?  It’s difficult to pin down any specific element.  Perhaps it’s the potential for light bondage with the lasso.  Though, I have to say, there’s something about a cowboy being able to wrestle a steer to the ground that makes you wonder what they might be like in bed.


8. Did you have music in mind when you wrote your piece for the anthology? Do you write to music? 
Usually when I write, I have a soundtrack in my head that suits each scene.  Oddly enough, that didn’t happen with this piece.  However, I don’t write to music playing in the background.  I find it distracting.


9. Do you plot your stories or just let the characters take you where the story leads?  Typically, I have a general plan of how I’d like the plot to play out, but my characters usually have different ideas and I let them take the lead.


10. What are some of your hobbies when you are not mad at work writing wonderfully seductive erotica?  I absolutely love to read.  When I’m not reading or writing, I like to design costuming or play around in Photoshop.  The rest of my spare time is spent with my husband and rescues.



Cowboys are just dead sexy. Can't get around it. I remember reading a series called Crystal Creek back in my early bookseller days and falling in love with the idea of a hero that could walk into my life with a full passel of manners, a hat, a horse and sexy swagger that could melt my bones by just imagining what he could do to me when the lights were out. Combine that with a little rope bondage now and that would be just my speed. Hmmm. Maybe an idea for a story. Cowboys and rope bondage. I like it, but I digress... 



What I Liked:

This anthology was all rough riding cowboys that made my toes curl. Every story had a different take, from contemporary to historical. Anthologies are great because you can get to know tons of new authors and then branch out to see what else they have. I loved these stories. Cleis always puts together a beautifully done book and this one is no exception. 

Some of my absolute fav's were Sedona Fox's The Ranch Hand, Michael Bracken's Drought, Charlene Teglia's Roped, Randi Alexander's, Banging the Cowboy and Kimber Vale's Some Like It Dirty. Full of spurs, bucks and broncos of every kind, this smoking hot collection of hunks on horseback is addictive and I read it cover to cover. It has earned a spot on my favorite e-book list. 




What I Didn't:

It ended. Sigh. I want another one.

Overall:

This collection of erotic cowboys stories is one that I have been recommending to friends and co-workers. Full of authors I am now adding to my ever growing must read list, this book was a rowdy romp in the saddle with some hotter than hot cowboys. Makes me happy I live in Texas! Full of romance, erotic moments, well defined characters, spice, adventure and some creative horsemanship, this book is staying on my erotica shelf for a long time to come.

5/5
