Satisfying Sophie by Ava McKnight
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave Publishing
Genre: Contemporary, Erotic Romance, Menage a Trois
 Review Copy Received from Publisher
Summary: Sophie has never had an orgasm. Too much guilt and a horrific teenage tragedy have left her self-conscious about her body. But her two roommates and best friends, Sam and Jordan, find Sophie beyond desirable. Together, they set a steamy seduction into play that awakens Sophie’s passion…and her love for Sam.
Both men are more than willing to help satisfy her sexually. To finally free herself from the pains of the past and accept love in her life, Sophie must reveal her darkest secret to Sam. And hope he returns her love, even knowing her deepest flaws.
Publisher’s Note: This story was previously published elsewhere under the title A Subtle Seduction and has been revised for Ellora’s Cave.
Stacey’s Review:
Satisfying Sophie was such a well written book, that I couldn’t put it down. It kept me turning pages until the wee hours of the morning. The author, Ava McKnight, takes us on an erotic and emotional journey. Sophie can’t keep a boyfriend because of issues in her past. She accepts that she’ll never be able to share her body completely because of her disforming scars. 
Sophie’s two male room mates, Sam and Jordan, are her best friends. They accept her and love her, but still don’t know her secret, nobody does. When Sophie’s friendship with Jordan turns sexual, and her friendship with Sam morphs into love, she knows the time is coming to reveal all her past nightmares.
The book sizzles with sexual tension, and the sex scenes are super hot and addictive. Ava McKnight writes with such skill that we are taken away and trapped in the scenes with the characters.
For a sexy, emotional book about friendship, love and letting go, definitely add Satisfying Sophie to your reading list. You won’t be disappointed!

Fallen: Book 3 in the Fetish Club Series by Ava Delany
Publisher: Breathless Press
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Review Copy Received from Publisher
Summary: When a corporate reverend’s daughter enters a fetish club, all hell might just break loose.
Straitlaced Mandy never does anything wild. She’s never even had an orgasm, but when friends take her to a fetish club to celebrate her twenty-fifth birthday, all that will change.
Peter may be a buttoned-down market analyst, but he’ll show Mandy that corporate and wild can mix very well.
Stacey’s Review:
This is book 3 in the Fetish Club series by Ava Delany, telling the story of the final girlfriend in our trio, Mandy. I have to mention the cover art-wow! Talk about hot and sexy and a perfect fit for Fallen. The story begins similar to the other two with the three friends about to enter a fetish club to celebrate Mandy’s birthday. She’s all corporate and never indulges in anything, so her friends insist she let loose for the night.
Mandy wanders the club after her friends desert her in the foreign environment. She’s dressed as an angel and is instantly attracted to the mysterious man with the winged costume that can’t keep his eyes off her. Mandy does something she never expected or planned, giving into her desires and allowing the fallen angel to seduce her.
Peter is no different than Mandy, being straight-laced and forced to the club by his friends. He’s not interested in the women around him until he spots his angel. He takes her in a room while costumed devils and demons watch on, increasing the naughtiness of their acts.
Ava Delany created another sexy, kinky tale with Fallen. She described the sex and emotions in her usual thorough way, bringing us along on the ride. For a quick, hot read, don’t hesitate to start this erotic series!

Tee-Ani’s Pirate by Rachel Clark
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: erotic, sci-fi, ménage, futuristic romance
Review Copy received from Publisher
Summary:
Tee-ani, an ex-slave, rescued by the crew of a pirate ship, has worked hard to fit in and be a useful member of the crew is and to find a way to rescue others forced into slavery. She’s determined to concentrate on her self-appointed mission, but G’trobian twins, Ben and Trey, are a distraction she doesn’t need right now. And besides, G’trobian’s don’t mate out of species, so her attraction to them will just have to remain a secret. Ben and Trey can’t believe they’ve finally found the mate they want to commit their lives to. Only one problem is she’s human and human’s usually mate in pairs. Will the woman they love more each moment be willing to try love the G’trobian way?
Stacey’s Review:
Tee-Ani’s Pirates was the sequel to Sarah’s Pirate, and after reading the brief epilogue, I expect Rachel Clark will be bringing us another installment. Unlike the first book, this one was a ménage romance.
Ben and Trey are twin brothers. In their culture, they mate in threes, not pairs like humans. When they both fall for the beautiful ship’s doctor, Tee-Ani, they are conflicted. They don’t want her to reject them, but accept them both.
Tee-Ani has been through hell on the slave ships. Now that she’s free, the past still haunts her at times. When she admits her attraction to the G’trobian twins, they quickly engage in a sexual affair. Things only begin to go downhill when the twins leave their mark on her. For Tee-Ani, markings equal control, like on the slave ships.
Ben and Trey are sweethearts. They put Tee-Ani’s needs before their own and always try and ensure her happiness and safety. The sex scenes are very hot, and most are true ménages, with Tee-Ani in the middle and enjoying every minute.
I liked the storyline, and suspense, associated with visiting the new world to rescue the sex slave promised to Ben and Trey. Though I felt the love was a bit sappy at first, the characters grew on me. Once some conflict was added, things felt more real.
For a hot, sci-fi ménage read, Tee-Ani’s Pirates by Rachel Clark was a sweet, sexy book.

Fear of Darkness (In Darkness We Dwell, #1) by Honoria Ravena
Publisher: Red Rose Publishing
Genre: erotic, paranormal romance
Review Copy purchased by reviewer
Summary:
Vahe Patten is a Watcher in the King’s guard. The vampire king, that is. As a Watcher, Vahe executes vampires who break the only major vampire law: keep the secret. When Dylan Andrew starts leaving his murder victims for the human authorities to find, something must be done. While in Haven, Vahe enters the dreams of a woman plagued with nightmares of her past. When he sees Dylan flirting with her in a bar, he knows she’ll be his next victim.
Natalya Woods just wants to avoid her ex-husband. The small town of Haven, Maine seems perfect until she’s attacked in the street by, literally, the man of her dreams.
Stacey’s Review:
Natalya is a real woman that readers can relate to. She’s struggling on her own to start her life over after escaping from her abusive ex-husband. She’s paranoid that he’ll find her, but has also made herself strong despite her experiences of the past. Natalya doesn’t deny her feelings, like some annoying heroines tend to do, but knows what she wants from Vahe early on. Her inner dialogue had me laughing out loud.
Vahe is a vampire determined to protect Natalya and the community from the crazed vampire, Dylan, that has his eye on Natalya. Vahe is sexy, and irresistible.
Fear of Darkness was written in a first person point-of-view. I enjoyed the writer’s voice, plot, pacing, and humor of this novella. The romance was sweet, and the sex scenes were hot, dream ones and real ones, especially the one in the kitchen. There was also enough action and suspense to keep me glued to the pages.
I look forward to more books in this series, and Honoria Ravena is definitely a new author to watch for.

Dominated: Book 2 in the Fetish Club series by Ava Delaney
Publisher: Breathless Press
Genre: erotic, contemporary
Review Copy received from Publisher
Summary:
Jacqueline dominates her world, all day, every day. When she takes her friend to a fetish club, everyone expects her to be in control.
Ethan, the owner of the club, has no time for anything other than work. When Jacqueline stumbles into his office by mistake, however, he teaches her the sensual pleasure which can only come from being dominated.
Stacey’s Review:
Ava Delany has written another sexy bite. Dominated is a one sitting read that took the time to develop the characters and treat us to a hot sex scene.
Jacqueline has issues from a past boyfriend, and finds she needs to be in control. The irresistible fetish club owner, Ethan, can see right through her. He knows she’s all an act and actually craves to be dominated in the bedroom.
Since Jacqueline came to the club for some naughty fun, she doesn’t resist when Ethan begins to order her to submit. In fact, it turns her on to new levels. It’s a thrill to not have to be in control for once, to just let go and let another take over.
We have one friend left in our trio of girlfriends. Tonya had her wild romp with the Scottish hunk in book one. Jacqueline got a taste of domination & submission with book two. I wonder what is in store for our shy little, Mandy?
If you’re interested in a quick, hot read, you may want to give Ava Delany’s Fetish Club series a try.

Dragon Actually by G.A. Aiken
Publisher: Kensington Zebra
Genre: erotic , paranormal romance
Review Copy purchased by reviewer
Summary:
It’s not always easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear-a lot-or else salute. It’s true that Annwyl has a knack for decapitating legions of her ruthless brother’s soldiers without pausing for breath. But just once it would be nice to be able to really talk to a man, the way she can talk to Fearghus the Destroyer.
Too bad that Fearghus is a dragon, of the large, scaly, and deadly type. With him, Annwyl feels safe-a far cry from the feelings aroused by the hard-bodied, arrogant knight Fearghus has arranged to help train her for battle. With her days spent fighting a man who fills her with fierce, heady desire, and her nights spent in the company of a magical creature who could smite a village just by exhaling, Annwyl is sure life couldn’t get any stranger.
She’s wrong…
[And just wait until you meet the rest of the family...]
Stacey’s Review:
Dragon Actually is the first book in the Dragon Kin series by G.A. Aiken. We start with one tough heroine, and then add a sexier than sin dragon shifter, to make for one hot, exciting read.
Annwyl made a great heroine! I did need time for her to grow on me, but grow on me, she did. In fact, Annwyl’s not the only dominant female in this novel. It’s refreshing to read a book with strong female leads that know what they want, and can take care of business.
If you’re a fan of G.A. Aiken’s books or those of her other penname, Shelly Laurenston, you’re sure to enjoy Dragon Actually. You get the humor and smokin’ hot scenes you come to expect, but it’s not nearly as raunchy as some of her other work.
The love story is slow coming because our heroine is quite petulant when it comes to her knight. Though she loves her dragon, she has no clue the two beings are actually one.
There is plenty of fun, action, sex and adventure in Dragon Actually. The novella at the end of the book about Fearghus’ parents was another great bonus read.

Captivated: Book 1 in the Fetish Club series by Ava Delany
Publisher: Breathless Press
Genre: erotic, contemporary
Review Copy received from Publisher
Summary:
Tonya is hot, wet, and ready to get kinky. She convinces a shy friend to go to a fetish club for her birthday, and it seems like the perfect place to let her wild side run free.
Liam likes to watch, but when he sees the raven-haired beauty, he follows her through the club, ready to oblige her lustful needs. She is sure that a man like him is not the foreplay type. Boy, is she wrong.
Stacey’s Review:
The first thing I noted when reading, Captivated by Ava Delany was her writing skill. Even though this was a very quick, one sitting read, the words flowed smoothly and pulled me into the story easily.
Tonya and two friends visit a fetish club. They hope to loosen up one of their shy friends, but instead, Tonya finds some of her own adventures. Liam is tall and well built, not her usual type. She tries to avoid his advances as she navigates the themed rooms of the club, where sex acts are engaged in openly.
Tonya is sexy, naughty, and knows what she wants. Though she initially rejects Liam, his Scottish accent and dominant nature, pull her in.
Being the first in the series, I assume we’ll get a glimpse into the experiences of Tonya’s friends at the club. It seems all the girls have a good time, though Captivated focuses on Tonya, and a HFN ending which is nice in an erotic read.
The sex in Captivated is hot stuff! This is a quick, lusty escape, with a dose of kink thrown in. I look forward to more work by Ava Delany because her writing is addicting.

Chameleon Wolf: Delta Wolf 1 by Stormy Glenn and Joyee Flynn
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: erotic, M/M/M, ménage romance
Review Copy received from Publisher
Summary:
Zac Sheehan is a Delta wolf, the council enforcer, sent out to eliminate those that broke the rules. It’s lonely existence, leaving him on the fringes of werewolf society. All Zac wants is to find his mate and live in peace. While on a mission, Zac finds the one thing he’s been looking for all of his life, his mate. Matt is everything Zac ever wanted in a mate, loving, caring, and drop dead gorgeous. Zac couldn’t be happier, or so he thinks. But as another mission looms, Zac discovers that things could be more dangerous than he thought. The wolf he’s been sent to eliminate is his other mate.
Stacey’s Review:
Zac is a Delta wolf, which forces him into a life of obscurity. The sexual scent he releases will make any wolf lust crazy, so he must live on his own until he can find his two mates destined to him. Being a Delta means he is also a Chameleon, able to move about invisibly when in wolf form. The skill is necessary for hunting rogue wolves that the council sends him to eliminate.
After a night of hunting, Zac tries to relax in a local bar, not realizing it was filled with werewolves drawn to his Delta scent. The sexy, green-eyed, Matt catches his attention. He immediately knows that Matt is one of his two mates. Within a couple days, Zac is lucky enough to find his second mate, the hulking Aiden that he is sent to kill.
I enjoyed the chameleon nature of the Delta wolves. It was unique and interesting. Zac and Aiden are both dominant males, but Matt is very feminine. It almost seemed he was a woman playing a male role.
The mission throughout the story was an intriguing one, but I found this book was all about the sex. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it felt forced since our threesome seemed to fall in love immediately and danger was only an afterthought to their intense lust for each other.
If you are interested in a hot loving, M/M/M werewolf ménage, then you may want to give, Chameleon Wolf a read.

Alien Mate by Eve Langlais
Publisher: Amira Press
Genre: erotic, sci-fi romance
Review Copy received from Author
Summary:
What would you do if a naked alien materialized in your living room and told you he was your leader?
Plump Diana is ironing her underwear when the hottest blue babe in all of the galaxy appears in her living room. Did she forget to mention he was naked too?
Abducted, decontaminated and dressed like a harem girl, she’s been chosen to become the hunky alien’s mate.
Kor asked his ancestors to find him a biddable, docile mate, instead they found him Diana–a curvy, argumentative earthling who sets his pulse pounding and his loins on fire. He might be an alien who doesn’t understand the meaning of love, but he sure knows what he feels is more than lust.
Stacey’s Review:
Alien Mate caught my attention right away, thanks to those ripped blue abs on the cover! I absolutely loved Eve Langlais’ narrative voice. Loved! This was a laugh out loud read that maintained enough depth to create a sweet romance.
Kor is chosen as one of the lucky few granted a mate on his world. When he travels to earth to collect his woman, he’s disappointed that she’s being so difficult. Though he’s physically attracted to the female and her lush curves, he can’t understand how she could be his soul mate when he specifically asked for a mild tempered woman. Kor is extremely likeable. He’s gorgeous, caring, has strong morals, and is hung like a horse.
Diana fights being taken away from everything she’s ever known. Of course, there isn’t much to leave behind in her pathetic life on earth. She soon realizes that a mating with Kor may not be too bad.
I loved the first half of this book as the reluctant Diana and Kor get to know each other. Diana’s inner dialogue was priceless. There are plenty of hot sex scenes once our heroine gives in to her desires. A short lull in the middle is followed by heart stopping suspense until the end.
Alien Mate was a great, romantic sci-fi read that was fun and humorous to read. I eagerly wait for Eve Langlais’ next release because I’m sure to be entertained.

Here Kitty, Kitty (Magnus Pack #3) Shelly Laurenston
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
Genre: erotic, paranormal romance
Purchased by Reviewer
Summary:
What do you do when you’ve got a hillbilly tiger by the tail? Or maybe the question should be: what wouldn’t you do…
Nikolai Vorislav likes his single life just as it is. Simple, relaxing and quiet. What he doesn’t need is some foul-mouthed Texan hellcat living in his house, eating his food, flirting with his idiot brothers and shooting holes in his home with his granddaddy’s gun. But those long legs, dark eyes and lethal tongue are making Nik insane and he fears he may be caught in the sexiest animal trap ever.
Angelina Santiago doesn’t know how she got from Texas to North Carolina in a night or how she ended up in some hillbilly tiger’s house wearing only a sheet. What she does know is that she doesn’t like good ol’ boys with slow, sexy drawls who can’t seem to stop rubbing up against her. Yet in order to protect her friends, Angie has to stay with a cat who seems hellbent on finding all sorts of delicious ways to make her purr.
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, and strong violence.
Stacey’s Review:
Here Kitty, Kitty is the last book in The Magnus Pack series. Though it’s my least favorite of the three books, it was still a great read.
Angelina is beautiful and she knows it. She loves to shop and make men drool as she struts around. Don’t get her wrong though, she’s tough as nails if you get on her bad side.
Nik is a tiger shifter, long past due for selecting a mate. When Angelina is brought to him, he’s immediately enchanted by her beauty and wild spirit. Even though there is sexual chemistry between them, Angelina seems hell bent on rejecting the wealthy, handsome man capable of buying her anything she desires.
With trouble brewing in the shape shifting world, Angelina is forced to stay with Nik to help her friends. She makes the sacrifice because her friends mean the world to her. Nik slowly tempts the beauty until she can no longer resist. Shelly Laurenston treats us to some hot sex scenes in Here Kitty, Kitty.
This book was a fun, light read with humor and wit. Though I found Angelina a bit over the top and my least favorite character of the three friends, she redeemed herself later in the book. Here Kitty, Kitty wraps up loose ends for all three books and grants us a happily ever after for all.

Go Fetch! (Magnus Pack #2) by Shelly Laurenston
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
Genre: erotic, paranormal romance
Purchased by Reviewer
Summary:
How much trouble can one small female be to a modern-day shapeshifting Viking? Well…it really depends on local gun laws.
Conall Víga-Feilan, direct descendent of Viking shifters, never thought he’d meet a female strong enough to be his mate. He especially didn’t think a short, viper-tongued human would ever fit the bill. But Miki Kendrick isn’t some average human. With an IQ off the charts and a special skill with weapons of all kinds, Miki brings the big blond pooch to his knees—and keeps him there.
Miki’s way too smart to ever believe in love and she knows a guy like Conall could only want one thing from her. But with the Pack’s enemies on her tail and a few days stuck alone with the one man who makes her absolutely wild, Miki is about to discover how persistent one Viking wolf can be.
This book has been previously published and has been revised from its original release.
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, and strong violence.
Stacey’s Review:
The second book in The Magnus Pack series, Go Fetch! is certainly my favorite of the three. We get the humor we loved from the first book, but with even more depth and character development. This book was wild, sexy and raunchy…in a good way.
Miki is an amazing character. She’s intelligent and knows what she wants after turning her life around. Her friends are everything to her and without them she feels lost. Miki is funny, sarcastic and though tiny, you don’t want to mess with her.
Conall is a sexy, blond Viking that is determined to possess the little firecracker. She refuses to accept his advances because she’s afraid of love, change and settling down. I haven’t seen a more stubborn man as he pursues Miki, but his efforts eventually pay off. I really enjoyed the slow progression of this relationship.
Once again, with Ms. Laurenston, the sex scenes were hot and spicy! She doesn’t disappoint us after the first book. We are treated to more fun and humor with the girlfriends and get lost in a wonderful story and romance.
If you want an erotic paranormal romance with depth that you will want to add to your keeper’s pile, then give Go Fetch! by Shelly Laurenston a read. I’d try to read them in order if possible, but each book is a stand alone story.

Pack Challenge (Magnus Pack #1) by Shelly Laurenston
Publisher: Samhain Publishing
Genre: erotic, paranormal romance
Purchased by Reviewer
Summary:
What’s an Alpha Male to do when he meets the Alpha Female of his dreams? Step one, hide all sharp objects…
All Zach Sheridan ever wanted was to become Alpha Male of his Pack and be left alone. What he definitely didn’t need in his life was some needy female demanding his attention. What he never saw coming was the vicious, scarred female who not only demanded his attention but knew exactly how to get it.
Sara Morrighan knew this was the best she could expect from her life. Good friends. A nice place to live. And a safe job. But when Zach rode into her small Texas town with his motorcycle club, Sara knew she wanted more. She knew she wanted him.
But after one sexy encounter with her dream biker, everything is starting to change. Her body. Her strength. That new thing she’s doing with the snarling. Even her best friends are starting to wonder what’s going on with her.
But this is only the beginning. Sara’s about to find out her life was meant for so much more. And Zach’s about to find true love with the one woman who makes him absolutely insane.
The book has been previously published and expanded for Samhain Publishing.
Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, and strong violence.
Stacey’s Review:
Still feeling the love after reading Shelly Laurenston’s Pack Challenge! This is the first book in a trilogy, with each book focusing on one of three best friends. This paranormal romance series can definitely compete with the big leagues.
Sara is one tough woman with a hot temper and a mouth worse than an angry sailor. She makes no apologies for her behavior. But the hard shell hides a self conscious woman that needs her friends for companionship. She’s loyal to a fault and wouldn’t think twice before killing to help one of her friends.
Zach’s the new alpha in his pack and used to controlling those around him. Sara doesn’t fall for it and can’t be tamed. He’s drawn to her and determined to subdue the wild woman. When he finds out about her past, he’ll have to try extra hard to explain things without losing her.
This book is a must read! The sex scenes were wild and scorching hot! Our hero and heroine are both tough as nails and make for an interesting pair. Pack Challenge will have you laughing out loud and glued to the pages. The three girlfriends are priceless and the humor never stops.
Do yourself a favor and get started on this series right away. I’ll be rereading this book again just for the pleasure of it. The plot, pacing, characters and dialogue were all done to perfection. Bravo!

The Gold Digger (The Lost Collection) by Josie Hunter
Publisher: Siren Publishing
Genre: erotic, ménage M/F/M, historical romance
Review Copy received from Publisher
Summary:
When Cinda Parks discovers her stepfather has sold her sister and intends to sell her as well, she runs toward Deadwood to find Miranda. In the woods, she catches sight of a golden glitter in a stream and suddenly has a plan for the first time in her life. She will take over the abandoned claim, become a gold digger and have enough money to find Miranda and ensure their futures.
Miners Stuart and Mitchell Dare return from Deadwood to find a beautiful woman claim jumping on their property. Their only thought is to protect their fortune from the gold digger ensconced in their cabin. But Cinda is intriguing, and when she dares them to take a chance on her, it’s another challenge in a long line the Dare twins can’t possibly resist.
Cinda soon finds that security doesn’t always come in gold nuggets. It can be found in the arms of handsome brothers. Now she needs to convince them that being a gold digger isn’t a bad thing.
Stacey’s Review:
Cinda knows what she wants, and it isn’t being sold off as a whore by her cruel stepfather. She wants to find her sister and make her own way in the world. After escaping from her family home, she discovers what appears to be an abandoned claim and decides to settle in. Though Cinda is confident and strong-willed, she’s also very innocent and comes across as childish at times.
The Dare brothers, Stuart and Mitchell are cautious with their claim because it contains a fortune in gold. At first they don’t trust the beautiful girl that appeared on their property while they were in town. There were plenty of gold diggers around that only had one thing on their mind, and it wasn’t love.
Though Cinda’s first thoughts are to get as many nuggets as possible and hurry on her way, she soon finds herself falling for the two handsome, identical twins. She begins to realize that the two men are worth more than all the gold in the world, and money can’t buy happiness.
Gold Digger was an erotic ménage with some hot sex scenes. The beginning of the story was fun and interesting as Cinda discovers her freedom and the Dare brothers. Their banter is playful and sexy. I found the middle dragged a bit and there were some elements in the story that were touched upon, but never developed. There seemed little need to mention the Dare sister unless there is a sequel in the works.
Overall Gold Digger was a fun, light read about a girl that gets both her men.
