Close to Forever
Blush sensuality level: This is a sweet romance (kisses only, no sexual content).
Marc is stuck teaching basic mechanics, but he isn’t happy about it. He’s even less thrilled to discover Chloe in his class. Marc hasn’t seen her since the day she ruined his family. He should hate her, but the more he learns, the more he feels there’s something that just doesn’t add up.
Chloe is ten minutes late for the first class, and the instructor decides to hold it against her. She’s never met a ruder man. Or a more dangerously attractive one. She doesn’t understand his animosity or the attraction between them. When Marc has a change of heart, Chloe must decide if he can be trusted.

Brett is the perfect example of a very attractive and seemingly intelligent man who lets his smaller head do all his thinking relationship-wise. Brett is aware that Andrea `Andie' is interested in him, but she's too mousey, not nearly attractive enough for his tastes. Andie doesn't fit his idea of the perfect woman, who would have to rate a ten on the looks scale, have brains, and match him in bed. Though

Second Act is a book that I enjoyed very much. It’s a shor, fast and fun read. I got into the story very easily and it was easy to figure out the history of these two wonderful and engaging characters. I definitely recommend this to anyone who wants an enjoyable and engaging story.
Whisper and Sigh

She didn't know what to expect.but it wasn't the unrestrained reaction to the mysterious man who suddenly appears on the beach beside her. He's been waiting for his one true love all his life. When she finally arrives, he can't resist their overwhelming chemistry. One touch leads to another and the expression on her face as she comes is more beautiful than he ever imagined. If they can keep their hands to themselves long enough to exchange names, they can get started on the rest of their lives-together.

I have to say that this book was completely baffling, but in a very good way. There were no names being told, just a story. It is a very sexual story.
She was coming to the beach because she needed to get away from her life. She did not know why she stopped at that particular beach, but felt the need to be there at that time.
He was waiting for her. It seemed like he was stalking her when she arrived. All h
Controlled Desires
Exotica Line
Length: Quickie
She prides herself on being an independent woman, strong and capable, but it hadn’t been part of her plan to go it alone. Then he walks into her office, a man like none she’s ever met who turns her world upside down. His every touch stirs her body into a frenzy and changes everything she thought she knew about herself.
He’s been called a control freak and a take-charge kind of guy who sees right away she isn’t the sort of woman to “take direction”. A pity. He has plenty of ideas on directing her, both in the bedroom and out of it.
It’s bossy meets obstinate in a clash of wills that burns up the sheets and sends sparks flying. Neither of their lives will ever be the same.

Bound Brits
'The Retreat' by Portia Da Costa Ben Chambers is the perfect boyfriend, the perfect lover, the perfect man. Sarah adores him, but she knows that despite the deliciousness of their lovemaking, their shared interests, and the fun they have together, there's a certain special something missing in their relationship. And then, arriving for a hedonistic weekend of luxury at an English country house hotel, something happens that changes everything between them. A momentary, inconsequential pat on the bottom opens the door to a breathtaking world of daring and transgressive sexual pleasure...and forges a bond that's both profoundly physical and a melding of their souls. 'S&M 101' by Sierra Cartwright Julia Landon is not just bored, but out of her skull, mind-numbingly, someone-please-save-her bored. And she thinks that Dom Trevor Kendall should save her. When the attractive woman tells him she wants a spanking, Trevor looks at her in a whole new light. How had he missed her submissive tendencies? Trevor is more than serious about a D/s, to him, it's not a game. And he takes the curious sub to the limits of her endurance. For Julia, nothing will ever be the same now that S&M 101 is in session. 'Getaway Girl' by Lisabet Sarai All that Peg wants is a break, a bit of adventure, a relief from her mundane existence in the buccolic but boring Yorkshire hamlet of Kirkby Malzeard. When dashing, sophisticated journalist Lionel Hayes saunters into the pub where she's tending bar, Peg suspects that he was just the sort of man to fulfill her fantasies of escape. The seductive Lionel, however, is not what he seems. Before she knows it, Peg is a hostage, roped and gagged, speeding away from the scene of a daring crime. Lionel is armed and dangerous, but somehow Peg still wants him-regardless of the consequences. 'All Roads Lead to Ripon' by Barbara Huffert Sometimes it pays to revisit the past.

Can some help from an interested observer be what they need to have a forever together? 'Kit and Mouse' by Dakota Rebel Kit is a vampire who had been planning on a quiet evening out at the local pub. But that plan becomes null when Mouse walks in. As soon as Kit meets him she knows that this quiet, shy man is not really what he seems. She instantly knows that she has to have him.

'Bound by Love' by Cassidy Ryan For two years Rhys has had a casual D/s relationship with Draven.

Now he is forced to keep his real feelings for Draven a secret. Will the truth drive Draven away?

Review: Nov 9, 2007
On the anniversaries of several traumatic events in her life, the Heroine struggles with depression. Deep feeling and analytical, she has come to accept this about herself, but that doesn't make her gloom any easier.
Part of why these events have so much impact on the Heroine is because she harbors a deep distrust of people and because she has no one to share her grief with.
Then she meets a couple on
Deal of a Lifetime
Annette thought she had the perfect solution to prevent what was meant to be a pleasant anniversary celebration from deteriorating into a never-ending lecture from her older sister on the substandard status of her entire life. Inventing a fictitious boyfriend, reportedly detained in an unavoidable, albeit imaginary, business meeting, seemed like a harmless fib if telling it would ensure a festive evening. She even had a plan to cover his exit from her life later on.
Rich's estranged wife had gone too far this time and he'd had enough. He had no clue what setting him up as another woman's date for an evening of drinks, dinner and theater with the woman's family was supposed to accomplish but he was determined to find out. When his new better half didn't so much as blink at his unexpected arrival he decided right then and there that he wasn't letting her out of his sight. He'd play his role of escort to the hilt to get to the bottom of it even if he had to tie her to the bed and seduce the answers out of her once the other couple said goodnight.
