Dirty Diana

5 Stars
$4.99
Dirty Diana is the stage name of a porn star who is getting burnt out in the business. She wants to retire and settle down in a serious relationship.
After she finishes up filming her last movie, she is kidnapped. She barely manages to escape her captors and the local sheriff takes her in. His three brothers offer her plenty of hospitality and security. Country style. She’s happier than she ever thought she could be in this nontraditional relationship.
Lexie writes with a pleasing voice, her lighthearted voice, makes her main characters likeable and makes the reader really worry for Diana’s safety when she is abducted and her ex-husband is after her. The characters feel three dimensional and did I mention the sex? Dirty Diana is one hot read but it's Diana's search for love in all the wrong places that kept me turning the pages.

Sex Games by Natalie Acres
Sex Games
Series: Cowboy Sex 2

By Natalie Acres
Siren Publishing
Novel length
$6.99
Heat 5 cherries
Vick Little is having a hard time settling down for one man in this book. She has the hots for not one, not two, but three men, and when they turn out to be brothers, she is as surprised as anyone.
This is the second in a series so you get to revisit old favorites and meet some new ones. A few cays were killed in the making of this book. The combined sex and the threat to the characters made this a really hot read and oh yeah, the sex was good too.
Natalie Acres made this menage romance look easy, when not all writers are able to make the relationships between the characters feel so natural.

Deadly I llusions by Chester D. Cambell
Deady Illusions
A Greg McKenzie Mystery
By Chester D. Campbell
Published by Durban House Books
Price $12.95
While I don’t usually read first person stories, let alone mysteries, I enjoyed this one. It’s one of a series of books about a married retired couple working as a pair of gumshoe detectives. Stumbling on mysteries and solving murders. Just like in real life then have more than one case they are solving at the same time. Some more important than others.
Molly Saint hires the detective agency to find out more about her husband and then mysteriously disappears. Not soon after, Greg is drawn into the murder of the Federal Reserve Board Chairman.
What I really found fun to read was the detailed snippets about Nashville. The author is local and sets the book here. It was packed full of fun tidbits that allowed me to travel to those places without leaving my armchair.

Infidelity by Debbie Gould
Infidelity
Debbie Gould
Red Rose Publishing
Long
Lainie was pregnant and in a violent relationship. Luke was there with her brother when he came to rescue her. He heard the call that detailed her abuse and I tore at his heart. He blamed himself for not staying with her when he was younger. She wouldn’t have married the abusive husband if he did. But now he had his own demons from his past to fight. He wasn’t emotionally ready for a relationship again and the only thing he could offer her was friendship.
Be prepared for an emotional roller coaster. Lainie loses her baby and is in an abusive relationship both mentally and physically and from there things just go downhill fast. Or at least they seem to. Yet the romance is very heartwarming, between two battered souls. Infidelity is just what I want in a romance book, it carries me away into fantasy and touches my heart. The mystery of who is still after her, even after her husband’s death keeps the reader interested.
As a side note, I got a little hung up as a reader when it came to the medical issues. I want to hear to hear the technical terms, like compound fractures instead of a detailed description of the fibula sticking out of the leg. I also got hung up on her taking a bath immediately after having a cesarean with staples. The hospital would have told her not to immerse herself in a bath until her next doctor appointment. Stupid, I know, but those kinds of things throw me off.
Otherwise it’s an excellent book, and it explores the side of life most of us don’t want to talk about. Abusive relationships have been around for years, and it helps to be reminded of the warning signs, so we can recognize it with those we love. It’s a shameful secret hidden in many closets, but this helps to bring some of those details of a battered woman’s life to light. Debbie Gould is a rising star among ebook authors and she is going to be on my autobuy list if she continues to write such interesting books.

Market For Love by Jamaica Layne
Title: Market for Love
Author: Jamaica Layne
Publisher: Cheek Virgin Books
Heat Level: Mucho Caliente
Genre: Contemporary Erotica
ISBN: 13:978-0-352-34203-4
10:0-352-340103-X
Length: Novel
Review:
Caution: Make sure to use oven mitts when reading this book, because the sex scenes are hot enough to sear your fingers right off the pages.
Our heroine, Miranda is strong and intelligent, and despite every obstacle she comes out fighting. She’s easy to identify with, when her bad day goes from bad to worse. Losing eight million dollars is bad, but then to find out she just had casual sex wit her boss? Having her period is only icing in the cake.
Max is our sexy hero and tries his best to do the right thing, doing everything in his power to protect the woman he loves. Even if that means never seeing her again. He has been blackmailed for years, but now his vengeful ex has the ultimate weapon at her disposal, a sex tape of him and Miranda, that she threatens to make public.
Jamaica Layne knows what a romance reader wants and she gives it to them from the very first page. Market for Love kept me glued to my seat until the very end. The couple meet quickly, allowing the book to focus on the relationship. The sex scenes are sizzling and never slow down after the first time. It only gets hotter. I highly recommend this one. Once you read Jamaica Layne, she will be on your auto-buy list.

Thorn of Ebon by faith Bicknell-Brown
Thorn of Ebon
By Faith Bicknell-Brown
Publisher Freya’s Bower
This book is part of a series, based on three daughters, half human, half fairy. While each book seems to be a standalone title, I would recommend reading the books in order so you have a full understanding of the character’s personality and references to past events.
I really enjoyed this book. It was not only well-researched, but well written. Faith managed to (once again) take us on an adventure into the past, to a time where humans and magic coexisted. A time where the Norse gods had more power and when things went wrong we blamed it on the god of mischief, Loki.
Freya’s favorite of the three daughters, Loilati was sent on a quest to seek out the Thorn of Ebon, and prevent the Fae races from being killed.. She rides out on a warhorse bred by Thor himself, and in the company of elves and other magical creatures. Along the way, she discovers her hidden power is fire and learns how to control it. This book made me laugh out loud several times, and is packed full of surprises. If you are a fan of fantasy or mythology, you won’t want to miss the Thorn if Ebon.

Dare to Dream
Dare to Dream
by Leigh Ellwood
Phaze Books
Book Four of the Dareville series.
While this is a standalone title and can be read seperately, I would recommend reading the other books first to understand the characters better.
Claire Walker is publically humiliated by her company and is forced to return home to Dareville and start over. J.J. is there waiting for her and just attracte to her as he ever was. She comes up with a plan to make a list of things that she wants to do before she dies. A few items on that list require sexual exploration that J.J. is more than willing to help out with.
Dare to Dream was a great escape and novel length so you didn't have to let go of the characters any sooner than you wanted to. The characters came to life with her realistic dialogue, but most importantly, the sex was H-O-T! Hot!!
