Review: Blood Flame - Caris Roane

Image
Review: Witches and Vampires and Werewolves, oh my! Paranormals abound in this first book in Caris Roane's The Flame series. In this different and unique take on paranormals, a paranormal being is made chemically. By that I mean there is a drug involved. Laced Blood Flame turn seemingly normal people into witches, vampires or werewolves. I have to admit that I found the concept of a paranormal species being created due to a drug interaction intriguing. That these beings voluntarily closeted themselves off from non-changed friends and loved ones was even more-so. Our main characters Connor and Iris police this sector. Connor is Border Patrol and has, in my opinion, an unhealthy obsession for the very powerful witch, Iris. Unhealthy because vampires and witches are mortal enemies. You see, a witch can kill a vampire with a touch of her finger. This however does nothing to deter Connor, who finds himself watching over her as only a creepy Peeping Tom would. When these ...

Review: Stepping Out With His Partner - Delilah Devlin

Image
Fraternizing has never been this sexy!  Note: This original 6600-word short story may be short in length, but it’s not short in passion!  Amazon Review:  I've seen a recent trend of step-brother erotica and I have to admit that a good portion of it is so over the top I spend most of the time rolling my eyes at what passes for an erotic short. I mean, yes, we get it, your parents were married at some point making the two of you some sort of extended family at best, at worse, strangers in a house that were forced to be cordial to each other at dinner and holidays. But realistically, you're not related, so stop with the whining about how wrong it is already and either do it or don't. That being said, I have greatly enjoyed Devlin's other stories, both the short ones and the lengthier ones, so I was curious as to how this would pan out. That being said, I was impressed by how well the story flowed. If there was a moral dilemma to speak of it was over ...

Review: Arucard - Barbara Devlin

Image
WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE.  It is the year of Our Lord 1307, and by papal decree, Templar Knight Arucard of Villiers is a hunted man. One of a handful of mariners to escape the Inquisition and Philip the Fair’s treachery, Arucard sets sail for England, where good King Edward II has outlawed torture. While the Crown is more than happy to offer exile and create a new Order to accommodate the famed warriors of the Crusades, such assistance comes with a price. But is the cost one Arucard is willing to pay?  The world in which Isolde de Tyreswelle exists defines her as chattel. Nothing more than a means to an end, she is a puppet in her unscrupulous father’s dastardly play and is thrown into the courtly arena. To further her family’s political aspirations, she is betrothed to a man she has never met and, with her husband, must fight to survive the intrigues and betrayals of her new life. With good reason, she fears men. Can Isolde learn to trust Arucard before they are destroyed...

Review: Bonded to the Alien Lord - Mina Carter

Image
Today is a good day to... get married?   Kidnapped by her very own alien hunk, Cat Moore is rapidly adapting to life as the chosen woman of bad-ass War Commander Tarrick K'Vass. It's not so bad. Her sexy alien has a thing about making sure her every need is met and has some very inventive ways of doing so. Until she gives him a bad case of mating marks around his wrist, and all bets are off. They're married without so much as a bended knee in sight, then summoned to the Imperial Court so the Emperor can bless their union.  Why? Because her sexy alien lover left one thing out when he introduced himself. Like being a freaking alien prince.  But someone doesn't want humans and lathar getting it on, and they certainly don't like the possibility of little human-lathar babies. In fact, they'd be more than happy if Cat and the other women didn't survive past the wedding.  Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? Try a bride whose alien wedding just got gatecrashed...
