Snowed Under by Celeste Rupert

A storm, a stranger and a secret—Ivy and Nell’s cabin on the mountain is about to get crowded.

Ivy and Nell have been able to get along very well without a man, thank you very much. They take care of all the chores, the cooking, and each other—in every way.

But when a sexy stranger blows in with the storm, Nell is curious. Is sex with a man really as bad as Ivy told her it was?

Ivy was just as glad that her husband was considerate enough to disappear, leaving her and Nell to their happy lives, but the stranger brings news that may change everything. Betrayed and angry, Ivy decides that revenge is on the menu, and Dean Rook is just the man to help her out.

                Ivy and Nell have a cabin nestled deep in the mountains. During a snow storm they had problems getting into the cabin. When they finally got into the cabin Nell starts to undress Ivy. Things are heating up between them. They play a game that what places on the body need to be warmed.

                The ladies are interrupted by Dean Rook. Nell and Ivy met after her husband ran off one and a half years ago. Nell wants to know what the fuss is about with the opposite sex. Ivy doesn't want to have anything to do with it.  Dean offers to watch them until they are ready for him. Ivy decides that if Nell wants to have an opportunity with the opposite sex she was going to give it to her. She tells Dean to start taking off his clothes. While Dean does that he decides to tell them that he was driven up the mountain by none other than Ivy's husband Chuck. Things really up between the threesome and a hot ménage ensues.

                I liked Ivy because she has been through a lot and she is a strong person.  Nell was interesting because she doesn't have any experience with men. Dean was a character that stuck with me because he doesn't pressure anybody and lets the ladies go at their own pace. The story line was very detailed and the sex scenes were super-hot. There’s a whole lot more to a cabin in the woods than meets the eye in this story.

                Helen had nothing left for her in Ohio. She is a widow with no job. Leaving for the South of France for a job, Helen finds opportunity for a fresh start. She is a librarian.  Her task will be cataloging all the books and fixing the ones that need to be repaired for Luc. Only she isn't prepared for what she will find on this very unusual assignment.

  When she first arrives at her job she is awoken by something. She goes out on her balcony and  she sees a person getting punished. She really enjoys the show.  On the first day of her job Branko walks in on her masturbating. The next day of her job she finds a box of toys in with the books that isn't dusty like it was just put there. In this box there are glass butt plugs, dildos, floggers and restraints.  Helen and Luc get together and Luc uses a glass butt plug on her.  On Helen's weekend off she goes to Nice to see the sites. Branko, Luc and Helen had a very nice dinner out and they have a sexy threesome. Very hot!

                Helen really spoke to me because it seemed like she went through a lot in order to get to where she is today. Luc connected with me because he is a dominant.  He knows how to treat others and he doesn't care what people think. Branko drew me in because he is also a strong character. The dialog was very fast paced and had me hooked from the first page. The romance was very steamy had me not wanting the scenes to end.

                If you like BDSM, M/F,M/M/F  and the use of toys this book is for you. Does Helen ever get the books finished? Will Helen get over her fear of public sex? Will Luc , Helen and Branko end up together? You’ll just have to read this one to find out!

Sydney always follows the rules when she goes on a mission. She isn't supposed to make friends with anybody when she travels on these missions. She is on a mission to collect data in a different time.

           

            Trying to repair her machine, Sydney does everything she can to get herself home for Christmas. While she is trying to fix it she gets caught by her friend Captain Griffin.  She knows she can't tell anyone who she is. Captain Griffin is in the Army while Sydney serves as a nurse.  Captain Griffin starts to ask questions that Sydney can't answer as it will risk hurting the time line.

            Sydney grabbed my attention because she seems like a very strong character. Captain Griffin grabbed me because he acted like he really cared about what happens to Sydney. The dialog to the story was really good. The interactions between Sydney and Captain Griffin were very believable. The romance was good there was some heat.

           

            If you like Time Travel Romance this is the book for you. Will Sydney and Captain Griffin end up together? Will Sydney leave and go back to her time or will she stay with Captain Griffin?
