Super short read.
Mia is a stripper and has a favourite customer. When instead of showing interest, offers her a job in Italy for two weeks, she is unsure of what will be required of her.
Is she a convenient escort? Despite her insecurities a relationship of sorts starts.
I think this book was a little too short for me. Not enough time elapsed for me to get the flow for the relationship, characters or storyline..it was quite rushed. I did like the idea of the story, very pretty woman, and that is always good. I just think this needed more story injected into it. The explicit sex was also not as steamy as I was anticipating, maybe I am just getting jaded after all the sexy books I read :( Also editing wise, there were missing words, usually I am not a stickler for that sort of thing, but it happened a few times.
Unfortunately this one just didn't quite meet my needs this time, but I do believe this mostly has to do with the length of the book.

 A choice between two men? If only it were that simple. Melissa Morgan seems to have it all…her modeling career is taking off and she's engaged to one of the most eligible bachelors in London. But when she finds Jonathan cheating on her again, Melissa finds solace in the arms of Riley, a sexy bar owner trying to recover from the heartbreak of his last relationship. Melissa shouldn't even want Riley, but she can't seem to stay away, especially when she finds in him everything that's missing in her relationship with Jonathan. Melissa knows she has to make a hard choice, and when it comes to choosing between the life she's always wanted and the man she's falling in love with, she might find out that she can't have the best of both worlds.

Review

****This book was part of a blog our I was given a copy for my honest review****

Melissa has a cheating alcoholic fiancé. He swore things would change when they got engaged...but they have not. Unfortunately he keeps her in a life that suits her, being a very wealthy man. After cheating on her again Melissa decides what's good for the goose is good for the gander and has a one night stand with a delicious bar owner. What she doesn't bargain on is falling for Riley. Now she has to choose between her heart and her envisioned life.
This book is super short at about 70ish pages. The problem with stories of this length is that it is incredibly hard to develop a character like Melissa and make your readers believe that she is redeemable, because you have so little time to do it in. Unfortunately that is what happened here for me. Everything was so rushed that all I could see was Melissa and her selfish choices and I just couldn't understand her, nor did I want to . I think this story could be a good one and you could get Melissa to that stage if the book was fleshed out more. As it is I was just grasping at straws. With a little more editing and a more time spent on the background story this one could be a winner.

The following review is for 18+ readers.

Goodreads Amazon B&N
 
 
Book three of Wicked Play
Lawyer Allison English never planned to return to The Den—despite her naughty fantasies about being bound by owner Seth Matthews. But when club guest Tyler Wysong is injured in a scene, Seth turns to Allie for help. Aroused by both men, Allie should turn the case down. But she can't…
After his bad experience, Tyler has no interest in being with another Dom. Yet he can't deny his attraction to Master Seth. When Seth offers him a place to stay, Tyler agrees—if Allie will stay too. But what good is a chaperone who adds to his temptation?
Living with two subs brings out Seth's protective instincts, though Allie insists she's not into the lifestyle, and Tyler swears he's done with it. But the chemistry between the trio prompts them to agree to submit to him for one week, and he'll show them both the true pleasure that a Dom can provide.
The intimacy could break them all, or bind them together forever.

Seth Matthews, Master Seth as he's known at The Den, thinks the day is just like any other. That is until he sees something that disturbs him on the monitors. A man who Seth already views as a poor excuse for a Dom, is with a sub in a private room, but what catches his eye is the treatment of the man chained to the St. Andrew's cross. Master Rex has taken things too far, causing him to intervene. What he comes across is something that he wishes he'd stopped earlier, and will change his life forever.
Tyler knows the game, he knows the score. Being paid for the use of his body, he often finds himself in situations he doesn't enjoy but bills need paid. Visiting The Den and being employed by the dirty politician leaves him severely injured and under the care of Master Seth, a man that he is instantly attracted to, and a lawyer Allison English, who his body can't help reacting to.
Allison has been to the club before, swearing she'll never go back regardless of her attraction to owner Master Seth. That is until she gets a call from a friend saying they need her help. She knows Tyler should press charges for what he's been through, but she finds herself dealing with not one but two of the most stubborn yet utterly gorgeous men she's ever met. What happens when the wounds start to heal but the attraction is still there?
Master Seth has had both of these lovely submissives in his home, and he plans to keep them there. One week. They will give him their submission, but Master Seth plans to take so much more...
This is my kind of story, absolutely delicious. The chemistry between Seth and Tyler was burning up the pages. Allie was my least favorite in this ménage but she brought her own positives to the story. The emotions are high, the wounds deep, and the sex on fire. Have I mentioned I loved it? This was more about the emotional aspects of a D/s relationship vs. the physical kink. It's a nice reminder that you need both, and too many books get caught up in toys and accessories. Nice emotional read.
Part of a series but can be read as a stand alone.

Against The Ropes 18+

The following review is for 18+ readers.

Goodreads Pre-Order on Amazon 9/03 
 
1/2
 He scared me. He thrilled me. And after one touch, all I could think about was getting more…
Makayla never thought she’d set foot in an underground mixed-martial arts club. But if anyone needs a medic on hand, it’s these guys. Trouble is, at her first sight of the club’s owner she’s the one feeling breathless.
All sleek muscle and restrained power, the man they call Torment plays to win at any cost. Whether it’s in the ring or in the bedroom, he knows exactly when to use a soft touch and when to launch a full-on assault. He always knows just how far he can push. And he’s about to tempt Makayla in ways she never imagined… 

Review

****Sourcebooks Casablanca through NetGalley gave me an ARC of this book for my honest review**** 
Torment never knew what he was getting into when Makayla walks through his door, but she has his attention immediately. It just so happens to be his lucky day when he needs a medic for the fighters and Makayla can't believe she let her friend talk her into working at the underground fight club. All that is forgotten when she sees the owner, Torment. Tattooed, built, and totally alpha she decides the scenery is worth being out of her comfort zone. But this tough guy has a whole other life that no one knows about...
There wasn't much I didn't love about this book. Sexy alpha male with a tough streak a mile wide, funny but naïve heroine that gives the hero crap and gets sick at the sight of blood but takes a job as a medic for an underground fighting ring? Priceless. This book is witty, sarcastic, sexy as sin, drama packed, suspenseful, and pushes the edges at times. There are times where you hate the characters and other times where you are in love with them. More by this author please!
