About KISS THE FLAME:
In a standalone novella that combines the worlds of THE FLAME and his novel, THE SURRENDER GATE, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice returns you to a mysterious candle shop in the New Orleans French Quarter where the scents of passion provide the courage to embrace your heart’s desire.
Are some risks worth taking?
Laney Foley is the first woman from her hard working family to attend college. That’s why she can’t act on her powerful attraction to one of the gorgeous teaching assistants in her Introduction to Art History course. Getting involved with a man who has control over her final grade is just too risky. But ever since he first laid eyes on her, Michael Brouchard seems to think about little else but the two of them together. And it’s become harder for Laney to ignore his intelligence and his charm.
During a walk through the French Quarter, an intoxicating scent that reminds Laney of her not-so-secret admirer draws her into an elegant scented candle shop. The shop’s charming and mysterious owner seems to have stepped out of another time, and he offers Laney a gift that could break down the walls of her fear in a way that can only be described as magic. But will she accept it?
Light this flame at the scene of your greatest passion and all your desires will be yours…
Lilliane Williams is a radiant, a supernatural being with the power to make your deepest sexual fantasy take shape around you with just a gentle press of her lips to yours. But her gifts came at a price. Decades ago, she set foot inside what she thought was an ordinary scented candle shop in the French Quarter. When she resisted the magical gift offered to her inside, Lilliane was endowed with eternal youth and startling supernatural powers, but the ability to experience and receive romantic love was removed from her forever. When Lilliane meets a young woman who seems poised to make the same mistake she did years before, she becomes determined to stop her, but that will mean revealing her truth to a stranger. Will Lilliane’s story provide Laney with the courage she needs to open her heart to the kind of true love only magic can reveal?
Excerpt
The cold metal of one of the fence posts presses up against her back, and that’s when she realizes he’s taken her into his embrace. His hands, his powerful, kneading hands, grip her waist, making the loose fabric of her dress feel as insubstantial as a blush of humidity. He brings their mouths and bodies together with the hunger of a hundred class sessions, a hundred long looks, a hundred fevered daydreams. As soon as she tastes him for the first time, she realizes the real question isn’t whether or not the passion between them is wrong or right, but how long would they be able to resist it?
She grips the back of his head, slides her fingers to the back of his thick, powerful neck. There’s that smell, his smell. Maybe it’s his cologne, or maybe it’s some intermingling of scents that are more purely, naturally him. Vanilla, campfires, and something musky. Only when she feels his palm grip the underside of her thigh does she realize she’s about to wrap her right leg around his waist, that her dress is sliding up her leg and if she doesn’t lower it soon she’ll be exposing herself right in the middle of Jackson Square.
Their lips part. He cups her face in his hands. She slides her leg back to the ground, slowly so as not to send the false message that his touch is repulsive; she just can’t risk exposing herself to passersby.
“You have two more questions,” he growls.
“Will you wait?” she asks.
“For?”
“One word answers only. Remember?”
“Yeah, and no yes-or-no questions either, remember? You still want to play this game?”
“It was your game, professor.”
“And you were being a very good bad little student.”
“Will you wait, Michael?”
“I already said I would.”
“Michael…” Her hands find his face, and somehow this touch feels more forbidden and electrifying than their passionate kiss, just allowing her fingers to gently rest against the hard angles of his face she’s studied day after day in class. To feel the heat of him in this gentle and unhurried way.
“Laney,” he says, in a gentle imitation of her own breathless voice.
“Even if I make you wait forever?”

4.5 Stars
Christopher Rice once again captivates readers with an intensity, sensuality and temptations with Kiss The Flame.
Michael and Laney’s chemistry, attraction passion is remarkably written. The banter and intimate dialogue shared between the two gave me chills, made me smile and hit the heart. Mr. Rice weaves a bit of New Orleans voodoo magic within his words transporting the reader on an erotic journey of temptation and lust right alongside Michael and Laney.
I have been a long time reader of Mr. Rice’s work. My heart fluttered when I first learned of the Desire Exchange Series. As romance is my favorite genre. Delivering heat and passion, Mr. Rice gives the reader an experience, not just a read.
Review: His Contract by Rebecca Grace Allen
His Contract
Rebecca Grace Allen
Legally Bound Series, Book 1
Legally Bound, Book 1
Harvard law professor Jack Archer once balanced his professional life with the private world of dominance, surrender and trust he shared with his wife. Since cancer stole her a year ago, finding love again—her final wish for him—is the furthest thing from his mind.
From his empty house to the classroom, grief follows his every move. Until he meets a young woman with shadows in her eyes even darker than his own.
Once a shining star at law school, Lilly Sterling’s dreams died when the Dom she trusted left her heartbroken and lost. She’s starting fresh in a new city as a paralegal, but meeting Jack reawakens all her old demons—and her lingering desires.
Jack offers to become Lilly’s mentor for both the courtroom and the playroom, but tells himself it’s not a relationship. Their carefully worded agreement guarantees that. But when their trial agreement starts heating up, both Jack and Lilly must decide what will tip the scales: the letter of the law…or love?
Warning: All rise for a book that contains a wounded submissive and a Dominant who wants to retrain her while retaining control of his heart. Discovery phase may involve spankings, bondage, edging, and blindfolds. Is it hot? You be the judge.
Jack’s broken heart and lost soul still find each day hard to live without his wife. Life is not the same for this frothy something, good looking college professor. When forced to step from the sanctity of his home into the living world a hint of light and hope with a younger woman walks into his small private world.
Lily’s a smart woman with a side that lets pleasure and pain collide. Having experienced submission in a way that left her frail, Lily tried to close that part of her down. Until an older, experienced man show the signs of just want she needed. Allowing her to learn what true submission is.
Intense pleasure and sensual passion mixed with a confident dominate create an amazingly erotic story.
Jack and Lily’s chemistry hit them both like a ton of bricks. Allowing them to share a side of themselves they both were missing. Pushing their relationship past what the contract of their play. Ms. Allen’s sensual and tempting descriptions of the acts and bonds formed between a dominant and submissive, are breathtaking for the reader and healing for Jack and Lily. A tantalizing and well written BDSM read.

The New York Times bestselling author of Reaper’s Stand is back in her “uber-alpha rough world of MCs”* as one woman’s future is rocked by the man whose hardcore past could destroy her…
He never meant to hurt her.
Levi “Painter” Brooks was nothing before he joined the Reapers motorcycle club. The day he patched in, they became his brothers and his life. All they asked in return was a strong arm and unconditional loyalty—a loyalty that’s tested when he’s caught and sentenced to prison for a crime committed on their behalf.
Melanie Tucker may have had a rough start, but along the way she’s learned to fight for her future. She’s escaped from hell and started a new life, yet every night she dreams of a biker whose touch she can’t forget. It all started out so innocently—just a series of letters to a lonely man in prison. Friendly. Harmless. Safe.
Now Painter Brooks is coming home… and Melanie’s about to learn that there’s no room for innocence in the Reapers MC.
Excerpt
“You want to watch a movie or something?” she asked, nodding toward the TV. I had a decent one, too. Giant-ass flat-screen—homecoming present from the club.
“Sure,” I said, reaching for the remote. I didn’t have cable, but Ruger had set up some kind of box thingie for me so I could stream shit. “Whatcha in the mood for?”
“Not horror,” she said quickly, and I laughed again, remembering that first evening I’d spent with her at Pic’s house. She’d been so young and scared and vulnerable . . . I’d wanted to eat her up.
I still wanted to eat her.
“I can’t believe that you and Puck were supposed to be watching over me, and then you put in a slasher movie. That’s not how you make a girl feel safe.”
“No horror,” I agreed, although the thought of holding her for a couple hours while she was scared shitless appealed way more than it should. Watch it, asshole. “How about Star Wars?”
“You like Star Wars?”
I shrugged. “Everyone likes Star Wars. You know, I’m pretty damned sure Han Solo was a biker.”
She giggled. “You mean, like a space biker?”
“See, when you say it like that it sounds stupid.”
“I wanted to be Princess Leia. She’s badass,” she said, taking a deep drink of her beer. I watched as her lips wrapped around the neck, her throat swallowing. Oh fuck, that was good. She set the beer down on the coffee table with a clink, then let loose with the biggest burp I’d ever heard.
“Fucking hell,” I said, stunned. “I didn’t think girls could burp like that. Shit. Impressive, Mel. Very impressive.”
She grinned at me.
“We’re friends,” she told me. “And friends don’t need to worry about stuff like that. Let me guess—you’ve never had a female friend before?”
“Not really,” I admitted. “I’m think I’m a little scared.”
Scared and turned on, which was weird.
“You should be. I can do the whole alphabet.”
Damn. I kinda wanted to see that.
5 Stars
Painter is so much more than the man I thought he was. Bad ass, cocky and somewhat scary, Painter’s darkness would have never been seen for the outside. Deeper than I ever dreamed and a talent for creating breathing art. Painter is so much more of a man than I ever expected. I may not forgive some of his past actions, however Painter redeemed himself from the man I thought he was.
Melanie Tucker’s home life was shaking and unstable. She learned the hard way that family is more than blood. Melanie never backed away from what she wanted. And never gave up. A strong woman with a huge heart who got thrown into a world way beyond what her innocence has experienced. Turned upside down and inside out, Melanie’s head strong ways falter when she realizes wants she needs is what she really wants.
Joanna Wylde hits the reader with a raw, hard emotional punch. Works you up, pissed you off, rubs it in your face and makes you beg for more within the pages Reaper’s Fall! Painter and Melanie story is a tornado of emotions. Ups and downs, don’t describe the heaven and hell that these two put each other and themselves through. Angry, beautiful, raw and in your face, Reaper’s Fall is an explosion always on the edge of going off.

ARC Review: Designed for Murder by Avery Flynn
Designed for Murder (Killer Style 4) by Avery Flynn
Date of Publication: November 10, 2015
Blurb
This book can be read as a standalone!
Devastated after he discovers the woman he loved and his partner in the role-playing game, Magic
Battledome, was a psychotic killer, Maltese Security’s resident computer genius, SciFi fan and geek-
about-town Carlos Castillo retreats into his work. Tossing aside all ties to the Magic Battledome
community, he eats, sleeps and breaths investigations. He’s determined to prove to the rest of the
team—and himself—that he’s not all book smart and street stupid. He pleads for a case and finally gets
one the boss thinks is right up his alley. Someone is targeting a Live Action Role Playing (LARP) Magic
Battledome team, delivering vicious beatings before robbing them of their costumes. To solve the case,
Carlos has to dive back into the world he’d abandoned.
Mika Ito loves creativity in all its forms. As a textile designer and a LARPer, she combines her two
favorite things by creating costumes for her fellow Magic Battledome elves. But when someone starts
targeting her fellow LARPers and the police don’t seem to be much help, she hires Maltese Security to
solve the case. If a reformed sinner is the most devoted, then a former LARPer is the most rudely
dismissive and Carlos Castillo fits the bill. But when they discover that the material she’s been using for
the costumes has been soaked in liquid cocaine by someone in her supply chain, they must work
together to solve the case. Especially now that the bad guy is doing whatever it takes to retrieve the
tainted material—including having lethal designs on Mika’s life.

Mika is a bright, talented and creative woman. Head strong and independent. She may be a geeky girl but she’s got spunk and sassy. She’s not the kind of girl to back down or give up.
Carlos is the geek turned tough guy. Alpha and totally hot with an underlying sweet and passionate side that makes you melt. His stubborn streak makes you laugh and kind of want to smack him at times.
A lost bet and a dance set the stage for a full on dive into some of the sexiest geekdom I have ever read. Chemistry, passion, a bit of mystery and suspense have the reader racing through the pages. Unexpected twists, undeniable attraction and very likable characters will have you never looking at LARPing the same again. Prepare to laugh until it hurts with Designed for Murder. Sexy, snarky and fast paced, Avery Flynn created the geek girl dream read!
About Avery Flynn
Avery Flynn has three slightly-wild children, loves a hockey-addicted husband and is desperately
hoping someone invents the coffee IV drip.
She fell in love with romance while reading Johanna Lindsey’s Mallory books. It wasn’t long
before Avery had read through all the romance offerings at her local library. Needing a romance fix, she
turned to Harlequin’s four books a month home delivery service to ease the withdrawal symptoms. That
worked for a short time, but it wasn’t long before the local book stores’ staffs knew her by name.
Avery was a reader before she was a writer and hopes to always be both. She loves to write
about smartass alpha heroes who are as good with a quip as they are with their *ahem* other God-
given talents. Her heroines are feisty, fierce and fantastic. Brainy and brave, these ladies know how to
stand on their own two feet and knock the bad guys off theirs.

Miranda Montgomery might be the youngest of the Montgomery clan, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what she wants. Namely—Decker. She’s loved him for as long as she can remember and won’t walk away until she gives it her all.

Fun, feisty and explosive.
Gregory Salinas turns up the heat on my favorite and most erotic book of the Montgomery Ink Series, Tempting Boundaries. Reading this book was hot. Listening to the narration is a raging fire.

Gregory once again add another level of passion, lust and emotion to Carrie Ann Ryan’s words that dig into your heart deep. Gregory Salinas smooth voice is perfect for Decker’s dirty talking ways. Hot, hot, hot!
Reaper’s Fall by Joanna Wylde~ Excerpt Reveal
“You’re not going back to the party.”
She cocked her head, and I saw the confusion in her alcohol- glazed eyes as she wrinkled her nose at me. All cute, like a rabbit.
“You look like a bunny.”
“You look like an ax murder,” she said, frowning. “And I thought London was looking for me. Aren’t we going the wrong way?”
“I lied. I do that a lot,” I told her, staring at her lips. I reached out, catching her chin in my hand, running my thumb across her lips. Our eyes locked, and I don’t know if her pulse started to rise but mine sure as fuck did. What the hell had I been thinking, writing to this girl? She was so pretty and perfect and had this amazing, magical life just waiting for her and all I could think about was dragging her down into the dirt and shoving my cock into every hole she had.
She’d scream while I did it, too, the same sweet screams that played in my head every night while I jacked off.
I hated myself.
“Why did you lie?” she asked, her voice a whisper.
“To get you away from Taz. It’s not safe with him.”
Mel’s forehead creased in confusion, her brain moving so slowly I could practically see the wheels turning behind her eyes. She might be smart as fuck most of the time, but she’d transitioned to drunker than fuck tonight. Kit. Kit and Em. They’d done this to her.
I leaned in closer, catching her scent. For an instant I swayed, so tempted . . .
“They told me all about you,” she whispered.
“Who?”
“The other girls. Kit, Em. Jessica. I know how you operate,” she continued. One of her hands rose, touching my chest. Fire burst through me, because if I’d wanted her before I was desperate for her now. She was so soft, so sweet . . . so perfect.
Then her words sank in.
“What did you just say?”
“They told me all about you,” she said, eyes dropping to stare at my lips. “They told me you have a Madonna-whore complex.” I froze.
“A what?”
“A Madonna-whore complex,” she repeated, her voice earnest. “You like to screw dirty girls and you put clean girls on pedestals, where they can stay perfect and pure. That’s pretty messed up, Painter. There’s no such thing as Madonnas and whores. We’re all just people.”
The words stunned me. What the hell was she talking about? Just because I didn’t want her dragged down in the drama and bullshit of this life didn’t mean I had some sort of fucking complex. And who the hell were the Hayes sisters to have an opinion? I couldn’t tell what pissed me off more—the fact that they’d talked to Mel about me or that they hadn’t done a better job of scaring her off.
She wasn’t supposed to be here.
“Kit and Em are crazy, and that friend of yours—Jessica? She’s like a car crash. You don’t belong here, Mel.”
“And where do I belong?”
“With some nice kid who’ll treat you like a queen and work his ass off to give you everything perfect for the rest of your life.” The words were practically a growl.
Her eyes widened.
“What if I don’t want perfect?”
“Too fucking bad, because that’s what you’re getting.”

The Exhibitionist is my first read by Tara Sue Me. With her deeply detailed, emotional and give you the good chills writing, it will surely not be my last. Any fan of BDSM romance should read this book.
ARC Review: Hold Me Down by Jackie Ashenden
Hold Me Down
Jackie Ashenden
Deacons Of Bourbon Street Series, Book 3
ebook, 216 pages
When the biker who broke her heart rides into town, a woman must choose between passion and duty. Jackie Ashenden ups the ante in a seductive series co-written with Megan Crane, Rachael Johns, and Maisey Yates.
Leonidas “Blue” Delacroix might be the prodigal son of New Orleans aristocrats, but the Deacons of Bourbon Street are his real family. And with their patriarch murdered, Blue wants nothing more than to unleash hell on the motorcycle club’s enemies—even if it means taking up arms against the girl who used to be his best friend. She’s done quite a bit of growing up, and suddenly their chemistry is red-hot. But where’s the line between ruthless seduction and sweet temptation?
For Alice Day, loyalty is everything. When Blue skipped town, she had no choice but to adopt a new family: their rivals, the Graveyard Ministry. Seeing him again reawakens old feelings . . . and fiery fantasies. Alice could never forget the scent of leather on his skin—just as she could never forgive the sting of his betrayal. But while the Ministry has treated her like one of their own, Blue is part of her soul. And as their liaisons hit the boiling point, Alice trusts her heart with the deadliest choice of her life.
4 Stars
Blue is what is picture my ideal biker. He’s hard, raw and just this side of crazy. Rough, in your face and all alpha. He will do what it takes to restore the club and avenge the man who gave him his life. Not even the one woman, who crossed his thoughts more times over the years, sway him from his goal. Well bend him a little.
Alice is a bold woman in the MC world. She did what she had to, when the town went to shit after Katrina. Protecting herself became her number one goal. She may have traded sides but when it comes down to the wire, you see where loyalty lies.
Hard, raw and sexy. A fast well written read that hits you in all the right spots. Chemistry, passion, twists and action. Everything to keep the readers turning the pages. Hold Me Down is sexy and entertaining. My favorite of the Deacons Of Bourbon Street series thus far.
