 False Pretenses by Cara Bristol
Series: Rod and Cane Society: Book 2
Publisher: Loose-Id
Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance
Length: 179 pages
Summary:
Freelance journalist Emma Dupree needs a sensational story to boost her career and free her from the corporate hell of her day job. She finds her blockbuster in the Rod and Cane Society, an organization that encourages men to spank their spouses and goes undercover to expose the kinky perversions. Fearing she could be scooped by a rival reporter, she keeps a tight lid on her story, not even telling her new boyfriend.
Dan Tanner knows all about keeping secrets. He’s a member of the kinky perv organization Emma is striving to expose. This real estate agent has a major spanking fetish and would like nothing more than to get his hands on Emma’s ass, but fears rejection from his sexy new lady who insists she’s 100 percent pure vanilla.
They’re both operating under False Pretenses. Who will be the first to lose their cover and when Emma loses hers, will she let Dan discipline her for it?
Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: domestic discipline (spanking).
Dakota’s Review:
What to say about this book? While I didn’t read the first book in The Rod and Cane Society, I found False Pretenses to be quite enjoyable.
 I honestly feel this was an excellent stand alone book. I got a good feel for all of the characters and none of them seemed one dimensional to me, so kudos Ms. Bristol. As far as the meat of False Pretenses , I found the premise of the book to be interesting and found myself glued to the pages, even shouting at Emma to come clean before it was too late. Did she? Well, I won’t give away Ms. Bristol’s plot but I will tell you it’s well worth the read – particularly if you happen to love BDSM and discipline stories as much as I do.
The relationships building between not only Emma and Dan, but also between Emma and the Ladies of the Auxiliary club are wonderful. You get a complete feel of how the club is run, particularly when dealing with the board who may have to punish Emma for breaking the rules. I will have to say though that despite all the structure of the club and the consequences of her actions, I truly loved reading about how Emma started to fall for Dan and how she struggled with her needs. It was a very well penned story, and I’ll definitely be reading False Pretenses again.

 Plenty to Come by Lara Valentine
Series: Plenty, Fl. Book 1
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: Erotic Contemporary, Menage
Length: 186 pages
Summary:
[Ménage Amour: Erotic Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, spanking, sex toys, HEA]
Giving up on the big city, Cassie moves to the tiny town of Plenty, Florida. Falling in love with Zachary and Chase Harper was easy. They ignite a fire inside her hotter and brighter than the Florida sun.
Intense and dominating Zachary Harper and his brother, charming and playful Chase, are tired of casual relationships and one-night stands. They’re looking for a woman they can share their life with, together. When they meet Cassie, they immediately feel that this woman just might be the one. Cassie is just as drawn to them, feeling safe and loved in their strong arms.
But not everyone is glad about Cassie’s newfound safety and happiness. Can Zachary and Chase keep Cassie safe when her past shows up and wants her dead?
Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings.
A Siren Erotic Romance
Dakota’s Review:
Now I want to visit Plenty. I think I fell in love with the town just as much as I lusted after Zachary and Chase. Ms Valentine did an excellent job of creating the small town atmosphere with a definite twist to allow polymonogomous relationships to thrive. In a way the set up of this town reminds me a lot of another author’s town, but set in Florida opposed to Texas. Either way, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the way people around Plenty came together to protect a woman they barely knew because she was now a resident.
Now what to say about our sexy heroes other than the fact they are HAWT, know how to please a woman in bed and happen to be loved by everyone in Plenty? Well, I guess what struck me most about Chase and Zachary was the courtliness they showed Cassie. It’s very rare to see a man open a car door for a lady, pull out her chair or even go on something as innocent as a picnic with a bit of smooching. So I found Plenty to Come to be quite refreshing in that aspect. Add to this sizzling romance, a villain who is obsessed with the heroine and you have a first class read and one which I’ll definitely read again.

 Dedicated Alpha by Anitra Lynn McLeod
Series: Twin Pines Grizzlies: Book 9
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: GLBT, M/M, Erotic Paranormal Romance
Length: 116 pages
Summary:
[Siren Everlasting Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, shape-shifters, light bondage, sex toys, HEA]
He was willing to suffer a broken heart to protect the man he loved…
Getting a second chance at love is more than Luke could ask for, but discovering Dillinger is a cop has him running for the door. Luke has a secret that could destroy Dillinger’s career, but keeping his distance from the sexy officer might be more difficult than Luke ever imagined.
Dillinger was dedicated to uncovering the truth behind Twin Pines College, but when he reconnects to Luke, a man he never forgot, he is willing to let his goal slide. Luke is more than Dillinger could have ever hoped for, but just as suddenly as he reappeared, Luke vanishes.
Each man is willing to suffer to protect the other, but when their resistance to their own fate puts an innocent man in jeopardy, the leader of the Twin Pines Grizzlies has to intervene. The only question is, will he be too late?
A Siren Erotic Romance
Dakota’s Review:
Dedicated Alpha was in my opinion a great little read. I totally enjoyed this book and the relationship between “Dilly” and Luke. The love scenes were scorching hot and well written. Not to mention that the emotions between Luke and his man were intense. Ms. McLeoad created a very realistic relationship with this couple.
In fact, if I wouldn’t have read some of the previous books in the Twin Pine Grizzlies I wouldn’t have realized this was a paranormal book. The only issue I had with this book was the fact that we didn’t know from the beginning that Luke was part of the grizzlie’s sloth. It seemed to take three-quarters of the story before being a shifter is even mentioned. I do realize Dedicated Alpha is the ninth in the series, but it’s only the second book I’ve read and if I wouldn’t have read the other first, it would’ve totally shocked me.
That being said, I still found it unique, the way Ms. McLeod portrayed her shifters, particularly the bear shifters. I won’t give away her special little twist, but I’m sure other readers will find it as delightful as I did. It gives her bears a unique flavor that this reviewer hasn’t found in any other series as of yet.
As usual the background of Dedicated Alpha revolves around the college life in the small town of Twin Pines and I love the secondary characters, particularly Dillinger’s boss, Betty, who has a beehive hairdo and all. She was truly a delightful character and one who I hope will appear in other books. So if you’re looking for a book which has a very sweet alpha who will do anything, including giving up his mate if it ‘s what his mate wants, then Dedicated Alpha is for you.

 Dangerous Alpha by Anitra Lynn McLeod
Series: Twin Pines Grizzlies Book 10
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: GLBT, Erotic Romance, Paranormal, M/M
Length: 132 pages
Summary:
[Siren Everlasting Classic ManLove: Erotic Alternative Paranormal Romance, M/M, shape-shifters, public exhibition, voyeurism, light consensual BDSM, sex toys, HEA]
Opposites may attract, but when everything conspires to push you apart, what can possibly be strong enough to hold you together?
Ultra-rich businessman and wolf-shifter Maxwell Wallace gets what he wants regardless of the consequences, and that includes a mate outside his species. Claiming bear-shifter Quinn English violates not only the laws of nature, but those of their warring clans. Heedless of the danger, Maxwell refuses to have his lust denied.
Quinn’s life has revolved around academics and football, but suddenly, with one foolish bet, Quinn has placed himself at the mercy of a notorious Dom. All Quinn wanted was to explore his submissive side. He had no idea he was part of a greater legacy of animal shifters. By the time he finds out, it’s too late to run.
Will Quinn and Maxwell learn to work together, or will they forfeit their lives and destroy the very foundations of the Twin Pines Grizzlies?
Dakota’s Review:
First off let me say, I absolutely loved the way that Ms. McLeod portrayed the power exchange between Quinn and Maxwell at the beginning of the book. It was sizzling hot and showed some of the inner workings of both men. Then it took a bizarre twist, which startled me a bit, but was in no way unwelcome. I loved the idea of there being a feud going on between the bear and wolf clans and differences between them that Ms. McLeod portrayed in Dangerous Alpha. It honestly gave this book a depth which surprised me considering it’s length.
Out of all the characters in this book, I’d have to say that Maxwell pulled at me the most. He’s definitely a Dom who loves to the point of stealing said love and doesn’t think about the consequences. In essence he’s human enough to make mistakes too, which makes him quite relatable. I think most people love the idea that love is so strong the person is willing to do anything to secure it., even if it’s not the most scrupulous of acts. I will say Dangerous Alpha is a fast paced book that flew. While I won’t give away the plot of the book because I’d hate to steal Ms. McLeod’s thunder, I will say that if you’re a lover of m/m paranormal, Dangerous Alpha is definitely worth the read.

 Pushing The Envelope, Book XI: Posthaste by Kim Dare
Publisher: Amber Quill Press
Genre: GLBT, Erotic Romance, BDSM, M/M
Length: 37 pages
Summary:
Scott’s never been the most confident of men. When he gets scared by something, running away has always seemed like a pretty good option. The latest letter he plans to give Joe is by far the hardest he’s had to write. Knowing what might happen when Joe reads it terrifies Scott since the letter has the power to change everything between them.
Will Scott have the courage to hand over the note? And will Joe be able to calm his submissive’s panic? Or maybe Scott’s not the only one who’ll be scared once the content of the letter is out in the open.
Dakota’s Review:
First of all, let me say that I am a huge fan of Ms. Dare’s work. I absolutely love her Rawlings Men series and was hoping this would be another wonderful series for me to indulge in. While the writing was up to her usual standards, I found myself disappointed at the end – with both the length and the feeling of the story not being finished. More than likely that’s because of the fact I didn’t think the main issue had been resolved in the way I’d hoped.
Now with that being said, lets get on to the stellar parts of this short. I loved both Scott and Joe’s characters. They were well fleshed out for such a short piece. I love the way the couple interacted even with the issues facing them. Once again, Ms. Dare has given us not only a sensual Dom but a very sensitive sub who is trying to find his own way in their relationship. While I don’t personally know if I’m going to read another of her Pushing the Envelope series or not but either way, this is a great little book which showcase the talent that Ms. Dare is capable of.

 Miss Marigold Misbehaves by Melinda Barron
Publisher: Resplendence Publishing
Genre: Erotic Romance, BDSM
Length: 68 pages
Summary:
Gretchen “Mari” Marigold is a good girl, doing as her family expects, restraining from tumbling over the edge, sexually, although taking the plunge fascinates her. When she hears about the hot sex her best friend has with her husband, Mari hungers to be naughty, but she hasn’t found the right man to feed her passions.
Then at her cousin’s wedding, Mari meets Rushmore Lay, owner of a B&B in Maine. He needs a writer to develop scripts for his upcoming Murder Mystery Weekends, and unemployed writer Mari jumps at the opportunity. She also jumps on Rush, who promises that when she visits Maine, she’s going to be very, very naughty.
Mari likes that idea a great deal, even if Rush is only looking for sex. Or is he? Will the couple that plans on doing nothing more than misbehave be able to leave each other when the script is finished?
Dakota’s Review:
HOT DAMN! and do I mean it. Ms. Barron has crafted a sizzling tale that just rocked this reader’s world.
It all starts out mundane, a bridesmaid sitting by herself because she didn’t bring a +1 to her cousin’s wedding. As a result, she meets Rush. And my how the sparks fly between these two – not only professionally but personally too. Ms. Barron does a wonderful job of building up Rush and Mari’s relationship. Unlike most would think, they don’t hop into bed on the night of the wedding. Rush wants to take it slow and let me tell you slow works just as well as fast and furious. Without giving away too much of Ms. Barron’s plot, I will say that there is every bit of an emotional intimacy as there is a physical one.
This is probably why Miss Marigold got to me so quickly. As a reader you get to see Mari’s vulnerable side, as well as the confident woman who takes a risk to fly up to Maine to Butterfield Island for what is sure to be the job of a lifetime doing something that she loves. Ms. Barron also did a phenomenal job on building up the side characters as well for such a short story. I love Mari’s best friend, Leese and will be looking to see if Ms. Barron wrote a story for her that I somehow missed.

 Talson’s Match by Marie Harte
Series: Talson Temptations, Book 4
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave Publishing
Genre: Erotic Romance, Sci-Fi
Length: 106 pages
Summary:
Book four in the Talson Temptations series.
Romec Talson is the last of his brothers to find a mate, and he’s in no hurry. So it’s a relief to check on the strange progress of one of the family’s shipping terminals on Earth, away from the manipulations of his happily mated siblings. The last thing he expects to encounter at Port Chase is the sexy woman of his dreams. A supposed human glaring at him with dark eyes—Otra, alien eyes. And then there are her accusations that Talson Shipping is running an illegal drug trade.
Tara Drake has no idea why the stranger at her door makes her hot and bothered, but if he works for the Talsons, she wants no part of him. Unfortunately, her body has a will of its own. Learning she’s not human is just the beginning of the surprises coming her way. Because love has no rhyme or reason in the face of fate, Tara must make a choice to accept her destiny or deny herself true happiness.
Dakota’s Review:
Another stellar addition to Ms. Harte’s Talsons Temptations series. I’m hoping this is not the last book, but since the author has now given each of the brother’s a story it may be the end. I wonder if I beg hard enough, whether or not she’ll give Tara’s brother a story. *gets down knees to beg* Pretty please? All kidding aside, folks, this was a great conclusion to Ms. Harte’s series and I love Romy’s character. As the baby of the Talson family, he’s been overlooked and under judged by his family for years when reality the saying, “still waters run deep” applies whole-heartedly to our hero.
I’ll have to say that Tara is the perfect match for him, as she at times is feisty but for some reason can’t resist the lure of a man she considers her enemy. Add into this delightful story, characters like Tara’s brother Manny, and the Yal brothers, Min and Daket, and you have a full-fledge cast of peeps who are trying to save the day each in their own unique way. I would love if the author would give the rest of these characters their own story, but only time will tell. However if you’re looking for a fast paced book with just enough alien love to go around Talson’s Match by Marie Harte is definitely for you!

 Talson’s Net by Marie Harte
Series: Talson Temptations
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave Publishing
Genre: Erotic Romance, Sci-Fi, Menage
Length: 95 pages
Summary:
Book three in the Talson Temptation series.
Kidnapping Rowe Trainer, co-heir to Chartrell Shipping, might not have been the smartest thing Val Talson’s ever done, but he wants answers, fast. He couldn’t have expected the beautiful little bully to be half-human, nor could he have anticipated that she could turn the tables on him so easily. She’s powerful, and he’s learned to be wary.
His violent arousal in her presence makes little sense. Lust he appreciates, but the deeper draw to his rival baffles him. Soon he can’t think of anything but Rowe. When he finds her again, he gets more than he bargained for—attraction not only to Rowe, but to her bodyguard as well. Then add the shock of her Selection—a female Otra’s readiness to mate.
Val doesn’t intend to give in easily. He’ll handle rogue saboteurs, Rowe’s larger-than-life bodyguard, and the idea that he’s entered the Testing, the time in a male Otra’s life when he’s ready to bond to his destined mate. As for Rowe…Val’s more than willing to give her what she deserves. And then some.
Publisher Note: This story was previously published elsewhere and has been revised for Ellora’s Cave.
Dakota’s Review:
What can I say about this series? I absolutely love the Talson Temptations Series. Talson’s Net has built up on the second and third books as we see Val get his own woman. Of course the path of love isn’t always easy and Val’s surely isn’t. From being tied up by his future mate to the unexpected attraction to her bodyguard, the poor man has his hands full. Not that the arrogant pup doesn’t deserve all he has coming, because he does.
Ms. Harte has once more captured this reviewer’s attention with her creativity and wonderful background/subplots that she’s woven into this steamy triad of lust. As usual, I read this book very quickly as the story just whisked me away. I loved the chemistry between all three of the characters and even the confusion and angst that Val goes through to find his happily ever after in Rowe’s arms. Personally I can’t wait to read the last book in this series,Talson’s Match Kudos to Ms. Harte

 Talson’s Test by Marie Harte
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave Publishing
Genre: Erotica, Sci-Fi Romance
Length: 94 pages
Summary:
Book two in the Talson Temptations series.
Zaret Talson ‘Or Fal—Z—knows what he wants, and it isn’t a mate. But when he’s besieged by dreams of a sexy woman scorching the skies when she’s not entwined with him and his brother, he fears the dreams are a sign of his future.
His brother looks forward to the threesome—all the fun without the commitment. Z wants to run the other way, because he’ll be tied to her if she proves to be his. He’s foreseen it.
Adri ‘San Fal may look human, but like Z, she’s Otra, an alien species not altogether welcome on Earth. Part of a particular clan of Otra who can handle fire, she’s blonde, unlike the majority of her kind. Hiding in plain sight is easy—until her past finds her. Desperate to escape, she runs into the one man destined to be her doom, or her salvation.
Publisher Note: This title was previously published elsewhere, but has been extensively revised for Ellora’s Cave.
Dakota’s Review:
Whew! Talson’s Test should come with the warning label: This book may cause electronic devices to melt! As I’ve come to expect from Ms Harte this book absolutely sizzles. I’ve had the pleasure of reading the first book in this series and I was not disappointed by the second either. I love the fact that I got to see some of the familiar characters from the first book, particularly a visit from Roarke and his lovely bride, Jamie.
Not only does Ms. Harte do a totally awesome job in creating chemistry that just sizzles off the page, she also does a stellar job of building up the backstory – namely in creating the sci-fi world where Talson’s Test take place. I love the dynamics that she has set up not only with the mating traditions of the Otra, but also the family dynamics and how important they are to the individual members of the families. This is even shown in the heroine’s family as they are close knit to the point of being smothering, which is the main reason that our heroine has run away from home.
Talson’s Test is a quick read that I think every erotic, sci-fi fan would enjoy. With that being said the only thing that deters me is the fact that it’s sooo short. I wanted more!

 Flight of Fancy by Marie Harte
Publisher: Loose-Id
Genre: GLBT, M/M, Paranormal, Erotic Romance, BDSM
Length: 184 pages
Summary:
Aidan Marshall isn’t like the others who now work as civilians for the PowerUp! gym. He doesn’t feel like he fits in, even among the misfits. Being gay means nothing to the people he’s with. He can read thoughts and speak with his mind, and no one ever feels comfortable in his presence. Hell, even he doesn’t like to be left alone with himself.
When his boss assigns him a mission to locate a stolen book, he jumps at the chance to use his psychic abilities and prove himself a valuable part of the team. He’s fine working on his own and has nearly located the book he’s been sent to retrieve when Gavin Caldwell screws up the entire case.
Gavin is a pain in the ass. He’s a pencil pusher and a leftover from the administrative nightmare that was the PWP. A nice guy to have on your side when it comes to balancing the books, but otherwise he’s nothing but a burden–as is clearly evidenced when he botches the case. It doesn’t help matters that he’s exactly Aidan’s type.
With no recourse but to use Gavin to right the wrong he’s done, Aidan and Gavin go undercover in a high-stakes operation posing as lovers–where anything and everything goes. In the course of their mission, Aidan finds out there’s much more to Gavin than meets the eye, and much more to himself than he’d ever thought possible. Because with Gavin, Aidan learns how to love not only another man, but himself as well.
Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: blood play, Domination/submission, exhibition, male/male sexual practices.
Dakota’s Review:
OMG! I actually read Flight of Fancy by Marie Harte in one sitting – it was that good! I’m sooo glad I picked this book up. After fresh coming off of Ms. Harte’s Dawn Endeavor series, I took a chance and nabbed this one up, not realizing that Flight of Fancy was her newest release in her PowerUp! Series – book five if my research is right. I was absolutely thrilled when I saw that Jack, one of the ARC characters from the Dawn Endeavor Series showed up in this book as Gavin and Aiden’s boss. I sooo love when an author links their different series together.
Anyway onto the story itself. I was looking for a D/s m/m book when I picked up Flight of Fancy and Ms. Harte definitely delivered. The sex scenes were scorching hot and I love the power exchange that she created between Gavin and Aiden, even as they worked as partners to complete a mission.
While I can say that the action in Flight of Fancy is fast paced, I will have to say that Aiden and Gavin’s relationship steals the show. Ms. Harte did her research in the BDSM community and it shows in the way that Aiden handled Gavin’s ‘training’. Not only did it make the sex scenes sizzle, I also got the feeling of vulnerability that a sub feels when submitting to a new master. She portrayed a D/s relationship at it’s finest.
So if you’re looking for a book that has both action and BDSM and a touch of the paranormal, Flight of Fancy is the book for you. All I can think of at this point, is how I can’t wait to read the previous books in this series. Kudos, Ms. Harte!

 Unexpected Taydelaan by Rachel Clark
Publisher: Siren-Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: Erotic, Sci-Fi, Menage, M/M/F
Length: 78 pages
Summary:
[Ménage Amour: Erotic Sci-Fi Ménage a Trois Romance, M/M/F, with M/M]
Declan loves Luke.
Born on Earth, Declan spent most of his life believing he was human—and gay. Luke is Sesturian and happy to explain the mating practices of their people. But learning they have another mate out there—a woman who might one day come between them—has always overshadowed Declan’s happiness.
Until they meet Keira.
Keira thinks she’s falling in love with a gay couple. She knows it’s silly but can’t seem to pull back the emotional attachment to the two men. Obviously it’s her fevered imagination playing tricks on her. She cannot possibly be developing a mental link with Luke’s thoughts and emotions—no matter how many times Luke explains his alien status. But even if that were true, what about Declan?
What happens if he learns of the intimate mating link he doesn’t share?
A Siren Erotic Romance
Dakota’s Review:
I was immediately intrigued by Unexpected Taydelaan by Ms. Rachel Clark. It appealed to both my naughty side and the little girl in me who loves science fiction. While this book is set on good old Earth, there is just enough differences in Luke and Declan to be very tempting. But what really struck me about this book is the emotional upheaval that all three characters go through – including Luke who seems to be the most torn. Ms. Clark has crafted a well played emotional triangle in Unexpected Taydelaan and I, the softy that I am, cried several times during this compelling story.
With that being said, I will also not discount the steamy love scenes that Ms. Clark has penned. As a reviewer who happens to love triads where the men love on each other as much as they do on the heroine, Unexpected Taydelaan definitely fulfilled my need. I will have to say the only thing that brought my score down a bit was the fact that this reviewer thought that the way the author overcame the characters’ struggles was a bit too neat and tidy. I honestly think it was a bit too easy. However, I will say that Unexpected Taydelaan is well worth the read and I look forward to reading more from Ms. Clark

 SHI Guy by Lynn Tyler
Publisher: Siren- Bookstrand Publishing
Genre: Erotic Romance
Length: 94 pages
Summary:
A superhero with a kink.
Kade, a superhero, has loved Lana for years. When she is kidnapped by his archenemy, it is up to him to save her and take care of the pain inflicted by a powerful aphrodisiac, which can only be relieved by orgasm. He uses his unique power of self-replication to give him the ability to make love to her as two men, her ultimate fantasy.
That one night was his dream come true, but he knows he will never be able to let her go again and is determined to spend the rest of his life with her.
Lana has only ever played with toys and is thrilled by Kade’s ability to replicate himself so that she can finally feel what it’s like to make love with two men. But can she accept him into her bed and into her life?
A Siren Erotic Romance
Dakota’s Review:
Oh…this book reminds me of the comic craze we have going on as of late but with an adult twist. I love this foray into the supernatural or rather the super hero world that Ms. Tyler has given us with SHI Guy. But then again I’ve always been a sucker for a guy who has loved his heroine from afar and doesn’t go through that whole “I won’t love her” or “I don’t want love” thing. In this case, Ms. Tyler has given us a delightfully sweet, but tough as nails super hero, Kade – who will do anything including, but not limited to using his powers to please his gal.
Although SHI Guy is a quick read at less than 100 pages, Ms. Tyler has given us an amazing complete story with Kade and his ladylove, Lana. I love not only the depth of Kade’s character when dealing with Lana, but also his repore with his buddies.
SHI Guy has all the makings to satisfy our current day love of superheroes, but with an adult twist. It gives the reader an inside view of what goes on after the hero rides off into the sunset with the heroine and I for one can say it’s is extremely hot and well worth the read for a lazy summer day read.

Summary:
The only thing third-generation logger Abe Gardner wants more than to enjoy Chapel Caldwell—in the kitchen, on the porch, in the shower, even in bed—is to marry her. When he invites greenhorn Levi Black to share his bungalow, Abe never expects to bring him into their bed.
After a seven-year stint in prison for assault, Levi wants nothing more than to outrun his past. In Abe’s and Chapel’s loving arms he finds solace…until the family that fought to convict him unexpectedly shows up. Torn between his new makeshift family and his ghosts, he struggles to stay true to himself while Abe and Chapel race to meet a critical deadline and foster Levi’s love.
Dakota’s Review:
What to say about Blown Down? Well, I can say it blew me away. The pure emotion which Ms. Petrova put into her story was absolutely amazing.
Blown Down is the first work by her that I’ve read and she didn’t disappoint me. I honestly don’t know which relationship hit me the hardest – the one between Chapel and her cantankerous father, or her evolving relationship with Abe to include Levi. Both tugged hard at my heartstrings. Whether it’s the relationship with her dad – strained but loving or the idea of learning to love a new man while loving Abe, Chapel showed a great deal of internal fortitude. I have to give kudos to Ms. Petrova, she has created a character in Chapel which is both strong, but also giving when she needs to be. If I had been a male, I’d have fallen for her too.
What to say about the hunky men in this book? Well one, I want to move to Pennsylvania and find my own Levi or Abe who are …YUM with a capital Y. I don’t know which male appealed to me more – the big teddy bear of Abe or the dangerous, tormented soul of Levi. All I can say is Chapel is a very lucky lady. Em Petrova did a beautiful job of drawing me into her world. Although I read this rather quickly, I will forewarn you to have a hanky ready along with a hot man…or two
