REVIEW: Their Special Agent by Mel Gough

A murder. Three gorgeous men. One choice – Do your job, or follow your heart?

On the eve of the Thistle Hearts reunion tour, the rock band’s manager is found murdered. When Special Agent Carrie McDonald arrives to assist with the investigation, the band has mixed emotions about the involvement of the FBI. Fifteen years after their heyday, Jay, Lou and Corey have everything riding on a successful comeback, and their manager’s violent death has thrown them into turmoil. The last thing they need is the wrong kind of press.

As Carrie delves into the case, the band’s complex history of desire and tragedy emerges. Their shared passion intrigues and excites her, and gradually, the men open up and draw her into their ménage.

But a killer is on the loose, and he’s not yet done with Thistle Hearts.

​

Can Carrie prevent another brutal crime and protect the men who offer her a future beyond her wildest dreams? 

This was a wonderfully well written book. Most are stuffed full of erotica and sex this author actually put a lot of time and effort into the plot and story. It helped to really understand the characters and story-line. It was a great read.

Carrie is one hard ass FBI agent until she meets three boys that will change everything she thinks and does regarding her job and her personal life to boot. She is strong and powerful yet small and mighty in personality.

Corey oh my lordy, he is for sure my favorite of all the guys. Mister Casa Nova himself, he could charm the pants off of anybody he  meets. I think he may be the most hurt by Carrie and her dismissal of him.

Lou is definitely the timid sweet innocent one of the group. Jay and Corey take care of him but he is no slough. Hes sexy and knows what he wants and has some attitude to his personality.

Jay oh man he is full of attitude towards Carrie and any law enforcement professional because of past experiences. He is for sure the leader. Strong dominant and a big caretaker.

This book is full of intrigue and mystery surrounding the band and their manager being murdered. I definitely wasn't expecting who the murderer was, I thought it was someone completely different and I loved that i sat there while reading it trying to figure it out and really I had no clue.

Jay and Lou's relationship brings a whole new aspect to the reverse Harem novel. It adds a twist you normally wouldn't think about in their personal situation and how Carrie deals with it.

Mel Gough loves writing about love – but with a twist. Nominated for the 2019 Selfies Awards, her bisexual romantic suspense novel He is Mine is a typical Mel Gough story. She needs her HEA fix, but on the way there will be thorns and fire, and sometimes brimstone. All right, that might be over the top, especially since her stories are firmly based in the real world - though not always in the here and now.

Born in Germany, exploring other realities has been Mel’s siren call since she was young. Books opened up a plethora of worlds, and soon gave her a strong love of the English language. After an MA in Anthropology, field work in the middle of nowhere seemed like one adventure too far, so Mel settled in London, which, to misquote Dr. Johnson, she will never tire of.

Mel loves to bend genres – her romances are gritty and dark, and sometimes there’s a dead body. She’s been told that her prose is beautiful yet disturbingly real. She’s curious about bygone times, and hopes to speculate about the future in one of her next books.

​

She was once asked “How to tell you're in a Mel Gough novel”

- You were either sick or in an accident, or you’re caring for someone who was

- You're bisexual (or your partner is)

- Your partner has unusual eyes (probably grey)

- Life sucks a lot, but then you meet someone, and things get better (less)

REVIEW: My Dark Captor By Melody Adams

She is his obsession and he will stop at nothing to have her.

Sophia:

When I stumble in Iwan Nowikow’s path, my life, as I knew it is over. He sees something in me he wants, so he takes it by kidnapping me. He hurts me and gives me pleasure. He awakens a dark side in me; I never knew I had. I hate him and I crave him. He is my dark captor.

Iwan:

When I see Sophia, I want her, so I take her. I'll make her mine in every way. I crave to hurt her and I want to devour her. I know what I am. I am a monster und sweet Sophia deserves better. But that doesn't keep me from taking what I crave. Her tears, her cries and her devotion.

This is not a book for the faint or weak stomached. It is very good but definitely has edgy subject matter to it that not everyone will be able to handle.

It was a lot shorter than I would have liked I wanted to keep reading more and the cliffhanger the author left it on is to die for.

Sophia is a fight so strong and such a great character even though she gets thrown through the ringer.

Iwan on the other hand im not gonna lie I hated him til the very end with his sadistic torture and cruelty. You gotta hate one in every book right.

I really did like the authors writing style and creativity and flow of the story. She is a very amazing author. I will definitely be looking for more by Melody Adams.

REVIEW: Feathers and Fae by Crystal L. Kirkham

Emmett and Kami have always been best friends, but Emmett has been keeping secrets. His past catches up with him when a dark fae known as the Erlkrönig chases them into the realm of Mythos. In this strange world, Kami has the ability to know when people are lying. Unfortunately, that means she knows that everything Emmett has ever told her was a lie-even his name!

Emmett needs Kami to trust him enough to get her back to safety. It’s a fine line to walk between lies and truth, and the dangerous journey ahead will put their friendship to the test. As the Erlkrönig closes in on them, the web of lies Emmett has built begins to unravel and Kami demands the truth-a truth that will shake the foundations of everything she ever believed.

Not my normal read but this did not disappoint at all. Such a wonderful young adult fantasy book. Angels, Fae, Reapers, Seer's, Yeti, do many amazing different creatures that this author created in this world.

 This book is about two humans that are being tracked by an evil creature. So much unfolds in this story, they go through different realms to escape and save their lives.

 Em or Emmett or Emeniel is the secretive protective man of the story. I just love his character, so protective and powerful even though nobody knows it. He cares more than he should but keeps it all to himself even though it kills him.

 Kami is something else entirely so strong and stubborn and free spirited. When you learn what she really is her personality really makes sense. 

 Im trying not to give away spoilers but its so hard because this is a must read for anyone that loves fantasy and getting transported through a book to another world in this case numerous worlds.

I will be on the lookout for more by this author she is amazing.

REVIEW: Caden's Command: A BOLD Security Novel (Finding Submission Duet Book 2) by Zoey Derrick

It's Finally HERE! The long awaited, highly anticipated follow-up novel to Zoey Derrick's Finding Submission Duet.

This book can be read as a Standalone - however, it is recommended that you check out the Duet's first book, Aryn's Desire, first.

Aryn “Beck” Becker has given into his deepest desire.

He’s submitted to the one man who can bring him to his knees, Caden Mitchell.

But things aren't perfect.

Caden’s been away working on his latest project and Aryn is lonely. His loneliness incites thoughts of all the things he wants more of with Caden. But is Caden willing to give him more?

With the secrets of their pasts revealed, Aryn worries Caden has already given his heart away forever.

Then Caden returns and everything changes.

Can Aryn live with Caden's command when he wants so much more from him? Will Aryn and Caden find love and happiness to last a lifetime or will their individual desires pull them apart?

**** CONTENT WARNING ****

This is a M/M Romance with highly graphic sexual scenes that include Dominance and submission along with some wonderful male on male action.

Batteries are not included.

I highly recommend having Husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends, significant others on hand while reading this book.

Cold showers and panty changes may be required.

If you're not the type of person who enjoys gay romance stories - skip this book.

If you're INTO hot steamy sex between two men... DIVE ON IN!

I thought Aryn's Desire was amazing but Caden's Command is a hundred times better. So emotional and heart wrenching. I just got so enthralled by it.

It opens your eyes to Aryn's submission and what really happens to Subs and Doms during play sessions and what comes after. It really is an amazing read. 

Zoey Derrick really outdid herself in this novel. She had me in tears at the ending. It tugged at my heart strings all that Caden and Aryn went through together. 

This was the perfect ending for these two books. A must read for anyone that loves the romantic BDSM genre.

5 stars 

Best Selling Erotic, Paranormal and Contemporary Romance author Zoey Derrick comes from St. Paul, Minnesota. Zoey, was a mortgage underwriter by day and is now a romance and erotica novelist full-time.

The intimacy of her fantasies that she shares with her readers is thrilling and encouraging, climactic yet full of suspense. She is a loving mistress, up for anything, of which any reader is doomed to return to again and again.

It is this passion that drips off of her work, bringing excitement to anyone who enjoys a good and sensual love story.

Not only does she aim to take her readers on an erotic dance that lasts the night, it allows her to empty her mind of stories we all wish were true. Her stories are hopeful yet true to life, skillfully avoiding melodrama and the unrealistic, bringing her gripping Erotica only closer to the heart of those that dare dipping into it.

REVIEW: Aryn's Desire: A BOLD Security Novel (Finding Submission Duet Book 1)by Zoey Derrick

A 69 Bottles Spin-off Series staring the Bodyguards from Bold International, Inc

The tour is over, now what? 

Aryn “Beck” Becker has nothing but time on his hands and a strong lack of women in his bed. His vacant bed is by choice, the plain and simple fact is, they’re boring him.

Unable to shake the nagging feeling that he’s missing something in his life, Dex decides to bring him along to The Box and introduce him to the kinkier side of sex and relationships.

Beck’s heart is set, he’ll find a great woman willing to be his submissive, he’ll train and hopefully find happiness inside the club. 

But when a scene enraptures him, he’s surprised by his own desire and the Top that can bring him to his knees.

This is one amazing novel. Aryn or Beck is one of my favorite body guards from the 69 Bottles series. This has a lot of the great characters from that series but it really is a standalone that can be read without reading the others. Its amazing and you learn so much about Aryn and his past and what he has gone through and why he is the way he is.

This is all about Aryn and him following his heart and desires even though he is struggling with what he wants and what he needs.

He is very lonely after most of his friends are coupling up and leaving him to his own devices until he meets Caden.

Caden is something else, he struggles with his own past and issues and letting someone into his heart and life.

Hes so strong and dominant and then he meets Aryn and just cant get him out of his head and he stalks him all over the world trying to convince him they should try to have a BDSM relationship. I personally find it hilarious that the very dominant man of the book is kind of a stalker.

Amazing writing as always from Zoey Derrick
