During his decade as an international pop star, Jesse McCall has lived every day in the fast lane. A committed hedonist reveling in amazing highs, globetrotting, and nameless encounters, he refuses to think about his loneliness or empty future. Then tragedy strikes.
Shocked and grieving, he sheds his identity and walks away, searching for peace. Instead, he finds Bristol Reese, a no-nonsense beauty scraping to keep her family’s business afloat while struggling with her own demons. He’s intent on seducing her, but other than a pleasure-filled night, she’s not interested in a player, especially after her boyfriend recently proposed to her sister. In order to claim Bristol, Jesse has to prove he’s not the kind of man he’s always been. But when she learns his identity and his past comes back to haunt him, how will he convince her that he’s a changed man who wants nothing more than to make her his forever?

Pure Wicked is a treat for the fans of the Wicked Lovers Series.
Jesse McCall was introduced to readers in Decadent, book two of the Wicked Lovers Series. A Rockstar, bad boy with the reputation to go with. A man who got what he wanted, when he wanted. Fully indulging in his lifestyle, Jessie’s life was on a dangerous path. Fast forward 10 years, tragedy strikes very close to his heart. While cleaning up his own act, his friend and band mate, continued to walk a fine line between life and death, and lost.
In a moment of unexpected chivalry, while laying low, Jesse’s eyes open to what he wants and truly needs in life. A changed man, Jesse learns what love and real passion truly are. Like all men of the Wicked Lovers series, they fall hard and fast. The chemistry is intense and off the charts. The passion is wickedly sexy and scorches the pages. I loved seeing how some time and growing up made a bad boy into a wickedly good man. Shayla Black knows how to raise the temperature and cause a reader’s heart to race.

ARC Review: Obsidian Liquor by Scarlett Dawn
Scarlett Dawn
The Lion Security series fires off with Obsidian Liquor, where no one escapes the Russian mafia’s burning flame…While a brutal competition of America’s heroes is held in the United States, Elizabeth Forter is on a personal mission to destroy the Mayor of New York City. But when she’s caught red-handed by a man who kills for a living, her enmity rapidly turns to fear.
Daniil Kozar isn’t a man to trifle with, and Elizabeth is forced to strike a deal with the mafia king. Her every action is watched, and she needs to decide how to handle the gun-toting criminal–and his seductive charm.
Daniil may be the devil her father warned about. Or he may be the sensual awakening Elizabeth never knew she needed. Somewhere, Elizabeth’s dad is screaming a prayer…
*Originally published in The Obsidian Collection*
*This work contains sexual material intended for readers 18+*
I will start out by saying I never expected to like this book as much as I did.
Russian mafia, truth seeking media and fights!! Obsidian Liquor was way out of my comfort zone of reading . I am beyond ecstatic that I pick this one up. Great characters who make you laugh, challenge each other and keeps the reader on their toes. Or turning the pages.
A bit of danger, a very noisy reporter and some over the top steamy sex with the bad guy makes this read very hot. Scarlett Dawn makes the reader pay attention with the jaw dropping moments as the reader learns the cast to the story. And keeps them engaged with her consuming opening to her Lion Security Series.
I look forward to reading more of this series.

At His Pleasure- Addie Learns The Ropes
Emme Salt
Eighteen-year-old Adeline Curtis lands an internship with the mysterious and powerful Jon Banks. Night and day, Addie struggles to fulfill his overwhelming demands.

She realizes that Mr. Banks is hellbent on teaching his seductive intern the rules of love and submission.
When Addie’s ordered by her dominating boss to accompany him on a business trip, she suspects that he has more in mind for her sexy young body than he’ll admit. Mr. Banks introduces Addie to strange new pleasures…all designed to tie her closer to him.
But when she discovers the devastating secret behind why she landed the coveted internship in the first place, she’s faced with an impossible choice.
Torn between her family and the man she loves, will Addie stay with the man she’s been trained to obey?
4 Stars
Holy hottness! This ones a scorcher.
Addie may be young but she is far from innocent. Boy can this girl push the envelope so to speak. Sexy and a bit mischievous, she is not one to take things lying down.
Mr. Banks is a man of wealth and power. Unlike your typical billionaire, Mr. Banks truly has a kind heart even if he has a thing for domination and kink.
The two of them together we’re like a current that can’t be stopped. A consuming story with a good plot that leaves you wanting more. The story was hot beyond belief. Straight up erotica and it was damn good. You will laugh while breaking out your fan to cool down from this sinfully delightful story.
Review: The Flame by Christopher Rice
The Flame (1001 Dark Nights)
Christopher Rice
IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT…
Cassidy Burke has the best of both worlds, a driven and successful husband and a wild, impulsive best friend. But after a decadent Mardi Gras party, Cassidy finds both men pulling away from her. Did the three of them awaken secret desires during a split-second of alcohol-fueled passion? Or is Mardi Gras a time when rules are meant to be broken without consequence?
Only one thing is for certain—the chill that’s descended over her marriage, and her most important friendship, will soon turn into a deep freeze if she doesn’t do something. And soon.
LIGHT THIS FLAME AT THE SCENE OF YOUR GREATEST PASSION AND ALL YOUR DESIRES WILL BE YOURS.
The invitation stares out at her from the window of a French Quarter boutique. The store’s owner claims to have no knowledge of the strange candle. But Cassidy can’t resist its intoxicating scent or the challenge written across its label in elegant cursive. With the strike of a match and one tiny flame, she will call forth a supernatural being with the ultimate power—the power to unchain the heart, the power to remove the fear that stands between a person and their truest desires.
4.5 Stars
Tantalizing, tempting, and erotic. Christopher Rice nails erotic romance.
The 11th installment of the 1001 Dark Nights series, The Flame by Christopher Rice is like an erotic assault on your senses. Mr. Rice’s talent for descriptive writing not only leaves your visual pallet stimulated, the aromatic descriptions make you want to close your eyes and let your sense of smell take you away. It’s hard to believe this is Mr. Rice’s first attempt at an erotic romance. He writes it like a seasoned pro.
His characters are likable, the setting is amazing and the passion is beyond hot. In the short 80 pages Mr.Rice takes the reader on a mystical and erotic fantasy ride. Capturing a taste of New Orleans and the freedom she seem to instill on those that dwell within her!
I look forward to seeing what Mr. Rice has in store for his readers with his, Desire Exchange Series. I have a feeling that many cool drinks with be need for this series , as the pages The Flame are steamy!

in southwestern Ontario with her husband, who puts any of the heroes in her books

4 Stars
Decklan and Amanda are first brought together by mutual attraction at an exclusive BDSM club but when the attraction gets serious someone is going to get hurt. Decklan is a paramedic with a tragic past and a need to control all things in his life. Amanda is a loyal friend who has given up almost everything to keep a secret.

The Dare series are all stand alone and that’s what attracted me to Dare to Submit. I was looking for something that I could get lost in without making a long term commitment; However, Carly Phillips made me fall in love. This book has everything: strong characters, hot sex, and just a hint of tragedy and heartbreak that make you want everything to be ok. I highly recommend this read for anyone looking for a wonderfully written romance.
I requested and received a copy of this book from netgalley for an honest review. All the opinions are my own. Book description and image came from Carly Phillips website which can be found by clicking on the image. Happy reading!!
Through My Window by Jayne Rylon
Through My Window
Jayne Rylon
Red Light series Book 1
Through my window, a sea of strangers swirl and retreat like waves in an ocean of humanity. I brush my hair, fix my makeup and flip on the glaring red light in my booth before turning to face my audience on the other side of the glass.
For Star, this is just another night on the job, though no two are ever alike. She loves her career and excels at bringing her customers pleasure, relief or intimacy. Adaptable and perceptive, she becomes many things in the course of one evening–whore, lover, nurse, psychologist and friend. But above all, she’s still a woman. And her customers change her with every encounter. Through her window, she observes the world and enhances it when it spills into her realm.
4 Stars
Don’t just look in the window, step through it. Star, a sex worker in the red light district of Amsterdam, is unlike any woman I have read. She has the confidence and worldliness that as a woman I wish that I possessed. She is proud of who and what she is in a world that many look down upon.
A prostitute by profession, but I didn’t see her as a whore. Star had a way of looking at things differently. She has the ability to read people and see past the surface. To see to their needs almost like a sixth sense. The woman was truly mind blowing in more ways than one.
A quick read that more than draws you in. Sexy, erotic and exotic, Jayne Rylon’s Through My Window is a very unique story filled with pride, unexpected passion and a depth I did not expect. You will just have to read and see it from the other side of the window for yourself.
I will be quickly one-clicking the remaining books in the series.
