Betting on Grace By: Nicole Edwards

The tables have turned on Grace Lambert. For a woman familiar with long days and hard work, she just recently discovered just how hot the sultry Texas nights can get. Finding time to spend with her two smoking hot cowboys, Grant and Lane, isn’t exactly easy, but she’s forging ahead with what has turned out to be the hottest relationship she has ever been in. The true test comes in standing up for what she wants. 

Grant Kingsley has landed his feisty cowgirl, Gracie, and an equally sexy cowboy, Lane Miller, but everything outside of his romantic life has gone from routine to chaos in a matter of days. Unfortunately, he’s become rather acquainted with Murphy’s Law as he is inundated with a string of bad luck. His mother is missing, his father, a gambling addict, is worried about only one thing these days, and when Grant refuses to give in, all hell breaks loose on the ranch. 

Lane Miller will be the first to admit that he falls in love easily. And he’s done so again, with both Gracie and Grant. Only this time around, he’s not giving up or giving in. Cowboys don’t know what it means to back down and Lane will ensure that the two most important people in his life get all of him, no matter what it takes. 

Hot and steamy as always!

Nicole Edwards does not disappoint at all in the first novel in the Dead Heat Ranch series!

As with the prequel, Boots Optional, Betting on Grace starts off with a bang and never stops! 

It's very hard to put down and you really just root for these three dealing with their busy lives and highly sexual relationship. 

Grace, Grant, and Lane have such sexual chemistry together and are thoroughly entertaining to read about.

I'm already in love with the whole Lambert family and can't wait to read more about them!!

Boots Optional By: Nicole Edwards

Grace Lambert is familiar with hard work, long days, and handsome cowboys. She’s been working for her family’s dude ranch since she was old enough to ride a horse and she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. What she is afraid of is the heat that’s been generating between her and not one, but two sexy cowboys who’ve set their sights on her. And each other. 

Grant Kingsley and Lane Miller have both had their eyes on Gracie for years, but the feisty cowgirl has managed to keep them at bay. As far as they are concerned, cowboys don’t give up, and neither of them is ready to give up just yet. Not on her and not on the heat that transpires between the two of them. 

Find out what happens when the sultry Texas nights get as hot as the fierce Texas days

Addict. I. Am. Such. An. Addict.

I seriously canNOT get enough of Nicole Edwards' work! There is not a paragraph in all of her books that I don't absolutely love.

All of her characters, in every single series, have come to life in her work, and it's just amazing to read her stuff!

I've read the Club Destiny series and the Alluring Indulgence series. Now I'm starting the Dead Heat Ranch series with this amazingly sexual Boots Optional novella!

ZOMG!! I won an autographed copy of this book during an event and I recieved it just yesterday! Took me all of a few hours to read and those few hours were seriously epic! 

I'm not a fan of novella, if you'd read any other of my reviews, you might know that. But what I loved most about this is that Nicole Edwards just got right into the down and dirty in this book! Didn't take a moment to even get to know these characters! 

It threw me off guard at first, but I totally got with the program immediately and couldn't put this down!

Grant, Lane, and Grace are going to be amazing to read more about! I seriously cannot wait!!

Entrusted By: Nicole Edwards

Elijah Penn 
Handsome. Successful. Single. 
And looking for a polyamorous relationship. 

It has been four years since his wife died, but Elijah knows that there will never be another woman who will claim his heart and he isn’t willing to replace her. He isn’t interested in marriage, but he is interested in something with a future. 

Logan and Samantha McCoy 
Attractive. Ambitious. Married. 
And looking for a polyamorous relationship. 
Logan and Samantha spent the last year and a half avoiding a very specific desire that neither of them can quite let go of. They aren’t interested in a casual fling with a stranger, so they’ve been holding back. 

Is it possible that the three of them have stumbled upon something that just might be the answer to all of their desires?

What a fan-freaking-tastic story!!

I wasn't shocked that I fell in love with this story as soon as I started reading it. It seems to happen with every Nicole Edwards book that I pick up!

So...

It's no secret that Samantha and Logan are looking for a third that in their relationship. It's more shocking about just how much they really want from this mysterious person.

We met Elijah in the last book, Perception. A sexy widow who is only interested in threesomes with married couples. What's wrong with that?? Absolutely NOTHING! 

My lord, hot and sexy doesn't even begin to describe the scenes with Logan, Samantha, and Elijah. SO much built up anticipation and tension....yum-yum-yummy!!!

I can honestly admit that this was way better than I was expecting. I was really just thinking of some hot menage scenes, but this touched me so much more. Really digging into what Sam and Logan want and need. So freaking good.

I am going to be going some serious withdrawal waiting for the next book! We've been so lucky with 2 books in 30 days, I feel spoiled! Now, a waiting game!....so worth it though.

Masters of My Desire By: Jenna Jacob

Plowing into Bambi and totaling my SUV wasn't the way I envisioned starting my vacation. Then again, neither was being rescued by two gorgeous men. Nick Masters and Dylan Thomas swooped in to save me from the wreck. They weren't just knights in a shining truck, but Dominants so potent the submissive hidden inside me clawed to kneel at their feet.

To my surprise, they offered to teach me the joys of submission. I shoved down my fears and agreed to spend one glorious week of pleasure under their hand, at the center of their raw passion. With each command and touch, they bared my soul and stole my heart. With them, I felt like a beautiful—if kinky—Cinderella. But all too soon, the clock struck midnight, and I fled…

Returning to my lackluster life, I was determined to somehow survive without the masters of my desire. I never imagined they would travel a few hundred miles to hunt me down. Could I say yes when they offered to bestow something on me far more beautiful than a glass slipper?

I really just wasn't as into this second book in the Doms of Genesis series as I was the first book.

Thought the storyline was very cute, I just think I had too many issues with the way Savannah, Nick, and Dylan worked together. I actually had to take a break in the middle of this book to read something else because I was just getting frustrated. But as soon as I finished that book, I picked this one back up and finished it.

I tell you what though, my favorite part was when she screamed "RED!!"

I've now read three books (IN A ROW MIND YOU) that had a person safe word out. The first being the fact that was the person was actually being abused, the second because the person was trying to make a point, but this the first time you really have a real sub safe-word out because she really and truly freaked out. 

I also really enjoyed the last few chapters of the book. When all the main characters of Genesis are getting together and spending time together. I really enjoyed that.

Theirs to Cherish By: Shayla Black

Theirs to Cherish is the eighth installment of the Wicked Lovers series.

I was seriously looking forward to this book because I just loved Thorpe and I seriously loved Callie's attitude in previous book. I think my expectations were just a bit too high, because it took a lot for me to finish the book.

First, I was not happy what-so-ever that Sean was even in the picture. I was really hoping for Callie and Thorpe to be the only two involved in their relationship. Reading the book, I understand that Sean can give what Thorpe can't and Thorpe can give what Sean can't so it really does work out for the three of them. But I was super sad myself.

So...Callie is a run-a-way multi-millionaire who is running from the people who killed her family. Never staying in a place too long, Callie's stay at Dominion has been her longest residence since fleeing nine years ago.

Sean became Callie's Master in the previous story but we knew nothing about him yet. Now, we know that he cares for Callie but we also know he's a liar.

Thorpe, I wouldn't call him a liar, but he is so incredibly unavailable for emotional support it's kinda crazy that he's the "big bad Dom". Though he knows how to take care of subs, he doesn't know how to handle someone he loves so he just avoids it altogether.

It became pretty boring to me with Sean and Thorpe talking about their feelings constantly.

I really do like this series and every character in them. Some stories I just like way more than others. This one is definitely not one of my favorites, but it still connects everyone (even if only for a moment). So I will continue onto the next book when it comes out.

Devotion By: Nicole Edwards

**Must read Temptation first**

Could this series get any better??

Seriously, I am absolutely in love with Devotion. Though Temptation was a great story, I was left wanting and left sad that we didn't get to know the relationship between Luke and Cole more. I love the threesome of Luke, Cole, and Sierra, but I had felt there just wasn't enough of Luke and Cole alone.

I had no idea Nicole Edwards continued this adorable menage couple's story with Devotion.
(Once I find a series I like, I tend not to read the description or reviews of other books in the series because I like being surprised about who the story is about and the plot....I know, I'm weird)

So....Luke, Cole, and Sierra have really been busy between closing the doors on Club Destiny, having baby Hannah, and Luke's stressful position at CISS. Things are becoming severely mundane and each of the three are all feeling like they're missing something.

It's hard enough being in a serious relationship with two people, but it's even harder when it's three. Cole is feeling like the third wheel, Luke is so overwhelmed with what to do with Club Destiny, and Sierra is busy being a new mom. No one is really making time for anyone else and there is a severe lack of communication. Tensions run high and patience snaps...a few times.

Once these three lovely people figure out what needs to be done to make everyone feel complete, their relationship is back on STEAMY. Seriously, they share some of the hottest scenes ever! Yum.

I think it's because of the relationship with Luke and Cole that makes the scenes so good. Other menage threesomes relationship books I've read, the two men aren't in love with each other as well as with the female. But I like where Nicole Edwards goes with them all being in love with each other. Makes it even more sensual and delicious.

Oh and how can I forget...we also get a little peek at Xander....ummmm, yea....I think we are in for a fun ride with Xander!

Seriously, a great read! I absolutely love everyone in the Club Destiny and Alluring Indulgences series! Can't wait for them to continue!

Temptation By: Nicole Edwards

Luke is the owner of Club Destiny...the erotic sex club that isn't exactly what we would assume it'd be. Identical twin brother to Logan, whom we met in the first Club Destiny book. 

Cole is the quiet bystander at Club Destiny that couples always ask to be their "third". Openly bisexual, he's up for damn-near anything. 

Luke and Cole have been part of menages before together, but never doing anything together though they both have some serious feelings for one another.

Sierra is the woman that just moved to Dallas to be closer to her mother and finds herself wrapped up in both Luke and Cole, literally and figuratively after they get to know each other in Vegas for a conference.

Luke is the super unavailable guy. Hiding from his feelings literally by running away from any situation that could possible freak him out. Which means he's run away from Cole on more than one occasion and now he starts running from Cole and Sierra. Never having had feelings for a man before, I can slightly understand his hesitancy with Cole, though I think he needed to grow a pair. He isn't exactly living a normal life as it is, and so he shouldn't be shocked with how his feelings are not 'usual' feelings. So, needless to say, when he knows he has feelings for both Cole and Sierra, he freaks out.

Lucky for us, Sierra and Cole are more patient that most people. They know Luke and his faults and try to deal with it and him so the three of them can be together.

I was a little disappointed in this book, solely for the lack of finding the relationship with Cole and Luke. We definitely had enough with the three of them or with Luke or Cole separately with Sierra, but not with just Luke and Cole. They kept talking about how they hadn't had time alone together so I kept expecting it, but didn't get it. So, that's my only sadness with this book.

Otherwise, hot sexy romance. Hot sexy menage. Adorable hunky men that sweep the "sweet and innocent" Sierra off her feet.

Really good story for the second book in Club Destiny series.

Conviction By: Nicole Edwards

What a yummy start to a series!

Since I read the Alluring Indulgence books first, I'm now going back and reading the Club Destiny series. If I could do it over again, I think I'd have liked to start with the Club Destiny books though.

So, onto the book...

I have to say, Conviction, book one in the Club Destiny series has probably been the most realistic erotic romance book I've ever read. The story line for Samantha and Logan, the ups and downs, they're just more realistic than some of the others I've read. Especially the time frame! The fact that Sam needs time to think here and there...that really happens in real life! Too many times these love stories take place in such a short span of time that it's just annoying. So, that gives Nicole Edwards extra brownie points from me!

Anywho...

Samantha has just offered a higher position within her company that relocates her to Dallas. She now works under the hunky and very sensual, Logan McCoy.

After meeting a few times and working together for a few months, they've finally deciding to start this their relationship.

Logan definitely has some kink to his personality. Most importantly, his love for watching other men please his woman...more specifically, watching this brother Luke with Sam. Oooo, yummm. Luke....something about him that just...well....YUM!

Sam and Logan soon fall into themselves and their love for one another. Sam has a bit of a hard time dealing with the realization of some of her own kinks that she wasn't aware of.

There is some seriously delicious erotic scenes in Conviction.

Not a dull moment in the whole book and I seriously didn't want to put it down. I can't wait to continue on to the next book, and I really hope we get to go to Club Destiny in it!

Ours to Love By: Shayla Black

Oh, I'm so sad that I didn't enjoy this book.

I found myself rolling my eyes more than I even care to admit...

We've met Xander previously because he was Logan's go-to guy on many occasions. Xander is the playboy billionaire that just wants to have fun, screw woman, and help his friends out of sticky situations for the adrenalin rush. Since his big brother, Javier, won't allow him anything to do with the family business, he needs something to do to pass the time, right?

Javier is drowning himself in guilt and vodka because he feels responsible for his wife's infidelity which resulted in her tragic death. He refuses to allow Xander to help him in any way, personal or business.

Introduce London. Sexy Siren's owner Alyssa's inexperienced little cousin. London's had a seriously rough life after a tragic car accident handicapped her for nearly ten years. She fought through it with physical therapy and determination, and now that she's got a good medical regimen she is ready to live life to it's fullest.

Technically, London meets Javier first, though he was too drunk to remember London helping him into his bed at Alyssa's house. Xander meets London not long after with an interesting accidental strip tease that perks Xanders interest and he quickly becomes smitten. Just a few hours later, London interviews for a position available to be Javier's administrative assistant. Of course, she gets the job instantly.

Xander and Javier are both extremely attracted to London and thoroughly smitten with her. They decide that instead of fighting over her, they should share her because they both possess qualities that will benefit her.

Lot of fun, dirty sex later, and London is just seriously overwhelmed. Keeping in mind, all of this is taking place within a week. 

The playboy billionaire, and the overworked alcoholic both seem to be able to fall head over heels in love with London while committing to change their ways. As well as work together in a polygamous relationship that neither have ever tried before...all because they shared well when they were kids....good grief!

The thing I am most sad about is that Xander just isn't the same guy that we've come to know and love in the other books. If he wants to change his ways to fall in love, I'm all for it...but his personality is just so different and it breaks my heart. I was not a fan of Javier in the least though. I can't say that about many characters I've read, but he just wasn't someone I could relate to at all. 

Overall, not a terrible story. Just not one of my favorites.

Travis By: Nicole Edwards

My goodness. I think this series get steamier and steamier as we go!

Not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed it took so long for Travis, Gage, and Kaylie to finally get their freaky-deaky on...but totally worth the wait! Steamy, doesn't even cover it...maybe "foggy"?
(LOL, you'll laugh at that when you read the book)

Ok, Travis and Kaylie are married! Goodness-gracious. Gage let that one leak at the end of Zane as payback for outing him as a cop to his brothers. Nice payback, Gage. Pretty harsh though since Travis hasn't seen his wife in ten years!

Yes, Kaylie and Travis got married when they were young. Silly, young innocent minds don't think things through though do they? Travis, who tried to be 'normal' got scared the Kaylie wouldn't accept his want of a polygamous relationship, so he up and left her without giving her a chance to even decide.

Gage, as we all know is best friends with Kaleb and has been the third for Kaleb and Zoey. Once Gage met Kaylie though, all thoughts of anymore threesomes with Kaleb and Zoey are null. He only has eyes for Kaylie and Travis.

Once these three finally start acting upon their urges, things just get better and better.

This is my first threesome/menage book that the men are attracted to one another as well. Before, the men were always about sharing, but Travis is the first I've read where things get hot and heavy with the two alpha males not only by themselves with their woman as well. Seriously, pretty darn hot!

The main obstacle in this book is Kaylie accepting/overcoming that this type of relationship is what she wants. She's all for it until her dad finds out not only that she's been married all this time but also now part of a polygamous relationship.

Also, Alluring Indulgence finally opens!! WhooHOO!!

Zane By: Nicole Edwards

Holy sexual heat, Batman!!

What an amazing book. Zane is the second book in the Alluring Indulgence series and it was even steamier than the first! Probably of it being twice as long as the first!

At the end of the first book, we know there was some terrible accident that put Zane in the hospital. This second book picks up right where it left off....

Zane has been attacked by a crazy man who just couldn't seem to handle being told no by Vanessa. When Zane picks Vanessa up for a special event, he gets jumped by four guys with tire irons....not good odds.

After being in a coma for a month, and rehabilitation for two more months, Zane is ready to get out of the hospital and get back to being with Vanessa and trying to get her to commit to a relationship. Problem is that the crazy guy is still stalking Vanessa and threatening both her and Zane.

Vanessa, aka 'V', is a pretty stubborn woman. She doesn't trust giving her heart to anyone and fights her feelings for Zane. Though they've had a pretty casual relationship thus far, things are only starting to get serious.

Things are severely hot and steamy between these two, but include Zane's best friend Beau, and it's just skyrockets! Holy hell hotness! Twists and turns in their little menage and things are incredibly exciting!

Zane was an incredible book. It really held your attention and let you get to know the characters even more. That's one of my favorite thing about series like this; that I am able to really come to care for everyone involved.

Nicole Edwards is an incredible writer, detailing things so well as to not bore you but keep you really into it and make you feel like you're really watching it. I'm so excited about this series, I already know I don't want it to end!

Kaleb By: Nicole Edwards

HOT!

What a great opening book for the Alluring Indulgence series! I've heard many things about these books so I am super happy to finally start reading them.

Kaleb starts the series off. He's one of the older Walker brothers, there's seven of them! Yum.... The three oldest want to open a new resort, special invite only if you know what I mean, but they need to buy some more property owned by their next door neighbor, whom just happens to be the father of Kaleb's best friend, Zoey. 

Zoey and Kaleb have been friends for years. They know everything about each other. Zoey even knows some of those sexual fantasy rumors about Kaleb are true...not that she experienced them herself though! Heaven forbid! 

Well, at least until one night when she opens her big mouth telling her girlfriend Vanessa that she's fantasized about kissing Kaleb before and he happens to be standing right behind her! Chemistry sizzles from there!

They decide to become friends with benefits and hot and steamy doesn't even begin to describe their encounters! Zoey is way more into the dirty kinky stuff than Kaleb could have ever dreamed! So much so, she agrees to multiple menage scenes with Kaleb and his buddy Gage. Not that she wants a relationship with both, just a good time. Kaleb and Zoey quickly fall in love with each other since they already had feelings to begin with.

Wow...just wow. Super yummy scenes that don't ever seem to end! No complaints here!

Also, not that you have to read them ahead of time....but characters from the Club Destiny series, also by Nicole Edwards, make an appearance here, and I'm assuming they will in more too. So, now I wish I had read them first, just for my preference of knowing who people are but I am definitely going to read those next!

Wicked Ties By: Shayla Black

Morgan is a cable TV talk show host. She wants to do a show about kinky sex and hooks up with Jack to talk about a D/s relationship. 

Jack, bodyguard by day, Dominant by night is pleased to give Morgan some insight into his world.

When it's clear Morgan's life is in danger, Jack takes protection of her and hides away at his cabin in the bayou. 

What do you know, he's got a play room in the cabin!

Jack and Morgan's attraction is instant. They have that special chemistry people wish for on a daily basis. But Jack has his own personal reason's why he really wants to get Morgan into his bed.

Morgan is new into the kinky sex and she has fantasies that Jack wants to fulfill, until he learns of one in particular...a threesome. Jack's history makes it hard for him to be with someone that wants another man in her bed, even if it's only once.

The sex is great. The attraction instant. Their connection unfathomable. 

A great start to the Wicked Lovers series.

Decadent By: Shayla Black

In the second installment of Wicked Lovers, Decadent, we follow the menage trio of Deke, Luc, and Kimber. 

With the arrival of Kimber to learn the ways of menage to please another man, it quickly becomes more to Deke and Luc.

Problem lies with a troublesome past of Deke's that he isn't able to have a woman all to himself. In my opinion, he is very whiny. For being such a strong man/bodyguard, his emotional capacity is nill. He becomes terrified of wanting Kimber all to himself because he's never been in any sort of relationship with a woman by himself before, but he doesn't want to share Kimber with anyone anymore. Including his best bud/cousin, Luc.

Emotions run high when Kimber and Deke both decide to split off from Luc, and poor Luc is still falling for the idea of what Kimber can represent. 

I've never read a menage with this situation before. I'm sure it isn't completely out of the question but I can honestly say I didn't like that plot. All the menage books I've read have been solely about sharing. Never that one wanted out. Though I understand the reasoning and such, I was a bit let down by that twist.

I really love menage books. I love the understanding and feelings the groups have for one another, the love they have for one another, and fear of leaving someone out. Sadly, this just wasn't one of my favorites, but that's ok. It definitely won't stop me from continuing the series or from me reading more of Shayla Black. I love her work and I'm eager to complete this series!
