This was one of my first forays into this type of fetish. I have to say it was rather interesting and the author was descriptive. The sex scenes were okay and the character development was the same.<br />

"After today, there will be no more construction crew rampaging through the house, no more rippling muscles and dripping sweat. No more Paul and Dylan. This is it. If something is going to happen, it has to happen tonight. It has to happen now."<br />
<br />
Sara's husband seems to be more interested in pleasing his clients than he is in pleasing her. So when not only one, but two, of the very large and handy construction workers currently renovating her house express an interest in her, Sara can't help but get swept up in dirty daydreams about what the three of them could get up to together.<br />
<br />
When the renovations are complete, Sara has a brand new guest bedroom just begging to be broken in, and the two workers will be moving on to the next job unless Sara can give them a reason to stay just a little longer...<br />
<br />
Will two men be too much for the voluptuous and neglected Sara?<br />
<br />
And will the three of them have enough time to thoroughly find out before her husband gets home?<br />
<br />
Out of Time is an erotic short and contains explicit erotic content intended for mature readers only.<br />

<b>Meet the Professional.</b><br />
Mafiya enforcer Aleksandr "The Siberian" Sevastyan's loyalty to his boss is unwavering, until he meets the boss's long-lost daughter, a curvy, tantalizing redhead who haunts his mind and heats his blood like no other. Ordered to protect her, Aleksandr will do anything to possess her as well--on his own wicked terms.<br />
<br />
<b>He makes the rules.</b><br />
Grad student Natalie Porter has barely recovered from her first encounter with the dark and breathtaking Siberian when he whisks her away to Russia, thrusting her into a world of extreme wealth and wanton pleasures. Every day under his protection she falls deeper under his masterful spell.<br />
<br />
<b>In the game of obsession, two players are better than one.</b><br />
Yet all is not as it seems. To remove Natalie from an enemy's reach, Aleksandr spirits her into hiding. From an opulent palace in Russia to the decadent playgrounds of the mega-rich in Paris, the two lovers tempt each other's boundaries to discover whether their darkest--and most forbidden--fantasies really can come true....<br />

Let me start this review by saying that I have read some of Kresley Cole's paranormal novels before. This is, however, my first time reading her contemporary stories. I was pleased with the experience and will be on the lookout for more in the series.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, on to my review.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All the characters (main and secondary) were well-written and helped maintain the flow and plot of the story. There were never any throw away characters that left you wondering why they were even there to begin with.<br />
<br />
Aleksandr and Natalie were an interesting couple to read about. Natalie grew up in a wholesome, all-American kind of girl whereas Aleksandr has a dark past and a current, deadly occupation.<br />
<br />
You would not think that the two would get along but both persons have hidden depths that constantly surprised me as I read their engrossing story.<br />
<br />
At first, I thought that it would be your run of the mill mafia story but Ms. Cole proved me wrong in a hurry. I was glad to be wrong as this story's very believable plot and seamless flow kept me glued to my seat as I read about Aleksandr's and Natalie's journey as individuals and as a couple.<br />
<br />
The sexual tension from the start was explosive and continued to build, explode and build again as their relationship grew and progressed. There were romantic moments which were a nice break especially after some heavy emotional moments for the two characters.</div>

<br />
I will continue to rate the six components of the book (characters, plot, flow, believability, sexual tension, and romance), list the elements that are found in the book and give an overall rating for the book.<br />
<br />
What I will now do is give an overall impression review so that I can more fully express my thoughts and feelings about what I have read. Included in the review will be any of my pet peeves (poor editing, too many point of view changes, etc.)<br />
<br />
I hope this will make reading my reviews more fun and easier to understand.Laki Tazhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04164411870751261203noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-140591027759488718.post-36601634476222428282015-05-06T09:25:00.001-04:002015-05-06T09:26:41.889-04:00Review [ShortRead]: A Baby For Our Sitter by Kelly Demun<div style="text-align: center;">

"My husband isn't a boy, Cerie. He's a man. Satisfying him takes <i>practice</i>."<br />
<br />
Alice never considered sharing Mike, her perfect husband, with another woman. But when their beautiful nanny Cerie complains that she's never been kissed, Alice has a naughty idea to help the young woman out.<br />
<br />
Alice knows Cerie thinks Mike is sexy. She knows that the innocent, naïve Cerie has a lot of learning to do. And she knows that Mike will be a talented, demanding teacher, with enough staying power to take both her and Cerie hard and unprotected.<br />
<br />
But what Alice didn't expect is how excited it makes her to know little Cerie is walking around with Mike's baby deep inside her...<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 3<br />
Not much going on with the characters that made them stand out. They were very two dimensional.<br />
<br />
Plot: 2<br />
Nothing extraordinary.<br />
<br />
Flow: 2<br />
The flow of the story was not broken by weird moments such as a back story popping up or drastic change of POV.<br />
<br />
Believability: 3<br />
The setting is current time and could definitely happen.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 3<br />
This short was a "quickie" so there really was not much build up in tension to the shedding clothes and let's get it on moment.<br />
<br />
Romance: 1<br />
This was about lust, not romance.<br />

<br />
<br />
Book 4 in the Mad Dog series.<br />
<br />
After rescuing Markus and Brian from the clutches of the sadistic Councilwoman, Shanna Crystal, the Mad Dogs are forced on R & R. None of them are happy and none of them want or need 'rest & relaxation' but they have no choice.<br />
<br />
The campground, Dad T's, is a gay soldier's wet dream for R & R but the Dogs barely have a chance to enjoy all it offers when everything they know about the supernaturals that inhabit the world is turned upside-down.<br />
<br />
A leisurely run in the Ocala National Forest turns their R & R into a mission. A mission that almost takes out the Delta Unit. Permanently.<br />

Her first book Fates, an adult fantasy, was published in 2010. Her love for reading fantasy, paranormal, and contemporary erotic romance has caused her to discard her Bachelor’s degrees in management and marketing in order to write full time. Currently, Brenda has fourteen books published (two of which are free!) She is an Amazon best-selling author for Brothers By Bond and Not For Sale. One of her newest releases, Highest Bidder, is the sequel to Not For Sale and became available August 2013. Her latest release, Sixth, became available January 2014 and is the first in the Mad Dogs, series as well as a best seller on ARE.<br />
<br />
Brenda resides in Tampa, FL when not attending conventions and is the Chapter Coordinator for the Tampa Bay O.G.R.E.s, as well as a volunteer with the Tampa Bay Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. She is also an active member in organizing the Florida Leather Fetish Pride weekend and an associate member of the Tampa Leather Club, as well as their event coordinator for Alt Life Bike Fest.</div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
I would like to first thank the author for allowing me to be a beta reader for this book. I absolutely love the Mad Dogs series.<br />
<br />
Here is what I felt about the fourth book.<br />
<br />
Characters: 4.5<br />
The complexity of the Mad Dogs keeps growing as does their backstory. With the introduction of characters from another of Ms. Cothern's series, the hotness continues.<br />
<br />
Plot: 5<br />
I got my heart strings jerked around a little bit with this book. I cannot say more because that takes us into spoiler territory and I am not one to kiss and tell.<br />
<br />
Flow: 4<br />
Cothern's flow is spot on and always a pleasure to read.<br />
<br />
Believability: 4.5<br />
Nothing I can say that I have not said previously in this area.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
Foreplay central! And yet it didn't drive me crazy this time.<br />
<br />
Romance: 4<br />
This book had a little more "romance" to it which is nice because I wanted to see progression in that depart for Brian and Markus.<br />

<br />Unimpressed and uninspired, Amy Collins was resigned to a life of dating boring men who were mediocre in the bedroom — until a chance meeting with an otherworldly being changed everything. With alpha male shapeshifter Z, Amy discovers pleasures she had never imagined she wanted, but would this visitor to Earth ultimately prove to be more man than she could handle?<br /><br />Tentacle erotica and scifi erotic romance have never been this hot and slithery!<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 3<br />
They were not flat but they were not completely three dimensional either. <br />
<br />
Plot: 2<br />
Basic. Alien wants to have sex with human. Human looking to get laid. <br />
<br />
<br />
Flow: 2.5<br />
Decent but there was some jarring in the shift of the main character's emotions and responses to things happening to her. <br />
<br />
<br />
Believability: 2.5<br />
Sometimes the jump from the sex into the main character's confusion/rationalizing what was happening to her was abrupt and aggravating.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
The build-up into the sex was really good.<br />
<br />
Romance: 2<br />
Not much romance going on in this short read. It really was all about a quickie that turned into some otherworldly sex.<br />

When Sheikh Kamal first saw Erin from across the ballroom he knew he must have her - and he always got what he wanted.<br />
<br />
But Erin isn't like the other girls he knows. Even for an American she is exceptionally feisty, strong and stubbornly independent. A challenge to him. Yet he can't keep his eyes off her, her stunning beauty kept him captivated for the whole evening.<br />
<br />
When Erin first saw Sheikh Kamal she had no idea he was royalty and leader of Jawhara, one of the largest (and wealthiest) countries in the Middle East. She just saw him as an irresistible handsome man, tall, with deep brown eyes and a muscular physique. Definitely her type.<br />
<br />
He was perfect - apart from his personality.<br />
<br />
He was so arrogant, controlling, and dominating. Everything she told herself she NEVER wanted in a man. Yet, she feels such a strong pulls towards him, even his scent is intoxicating..<br />
<br />
They sneak away from the ball and go back to Erin's apartment where they share an intense night of love making. In the morning Kamal is called urgently back to his country.<br />
<br />
As the weeks go by, and the gifts from Kamal pile up, Erin makes a shocking discovery. She is carrying the heir to a kingdom..<br />
<br />
When Kamal discovers this, he will do anything to bring her to his country and make her his bride. But Erin has other ideas..<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 3.5<br />
I liked Erin a lot. Kamal, not as much. Don't get me wrong. I love alpha men but when one goes to an extreme like Kamal, it becomes a turn-off.<br />
<br />
Plot: 3<br />
I have been in a sheikh/rich man mode as far as the stories I have been reading lately. This one's plot was the same as others which was okay.<br />
<br />
Flow: 3.5<br />
I felt in some places the story felt a little rushed but other than that, I was able to follow the storyline easily.<br />
<br />
Believability: 3.5<br />
There were no elements that threw me out of the story.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 4<br />
There were a couple of moments were the tension was amazing. The rest of the time it was barely there.<br />
<br />
Romance: 3.5<br />
I wanted a little bit more in this area but what was there was decent. <br />

<br />
What happens when a Dom and a Sub find each other too early in life? Should they turn their backs on their destiny just because they're too young?<br />
<br />
Nerdy. Boring. Unavailable. 18-year-old Jaike Hepburn is happiest when those words are used to describe her. But then a billionaire playboy comes along, and it becomes impossible to deny her secretly submissive self.<br />
<br />
Charming. Friendly. Perfect. This is what 21-year-old Derek Christopoulos strives to be for the sake of his parents' legacy. All his life, he's kept his darkness hidden, waiting for that one girl who'd take pleasure in belonging to him.<br />
<br />
When Derek and Jaike finally met, they both knew the truth in an instant.<br />
<br />
She is his, and he is hers.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 3.5<br />
I am not sure how I truly feel about this pair. Jaike is very introverted and dating a "safe" guy. Derek wants her ever since the first time they meet and he felt that she was the "sub" for him. Jaike did not really pull me in like she should have as a main character and Derek got on my nerves just a little with his "I am Dom" hear me roar behavior. <br />
<br />
Plot: 3<br />
Not much of one. Young man wants girl that he feels is submissive and will work as a sub for him. Girl is afraid of feelings and rejects his advances.<br />
<br />
Flow: 4<br />
I was not jarred out of the story and everything was in order and easy enough to follow.<br />
<br />
Believability: 3.5<br />
Some of Derek's behavior was stalkerish, at least in my opinion. If I was Jaike, I would run too.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 4<br />
Jaike was hyper-aware of Derek and those scenes, where some of the simplest gestures and actions happened, took on a new dimension because of it.<br />
<br />
Romance: 3.5<br />
I felt there was more "lust" than love in this story, especially on Derek's part, though Jaike did have some attraction to him that she was afraid to admit to.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 3<br />
Because this was a really short read, character development suffered. I did not really connect with Fran or the two Darkon Warriors who became "hers."<br />
<br />
Plot: 3<br />
The plot was not new which is okay but I felt it was so barely there that it made the story feel cliched to me.<br />
<br />
Flow: 3<br />
I would have liked just a little bit more backstory/setup before jumping right into chaos.<br />
<br />
Believability: 2.5<br />
I had a hard time getting into the setting and the things Fran had to do to escape.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 3<br />
It felt forced and that was a bit of a turn-off.<br />
<br />
Romance: 2.5<br />
This was a lust-driven storyline. There was no time for romance.<br />

Each year lykaen princess Sarina Brunes goes through her breeding cycle—a powerful force that makes the desire to mate nearly inescapable. When Sarina is sent away by her father to endure the breeding cycle alone, she never expects a sexy Alpha to come to her doorstep.<br />
<br />
When Alpha Vane Kategan stumbles upon Sarina in her breeding cycle, he is determined to help her, if only to ease her pain. However, she denies them both what they so desperately want.

<br />
Right when they need each other the most, they are torn apart by her father’s cruelty. Now Sarina must fight to be with the one she loves and risk losing the only family she has left in the process. Can Sarina escape her father’s grasp for the arms of the man she loves?<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 4<br />
I liked Sarina a lot and Vane (the leading man) was decent. I despised her father who treated her like a commodity instead of a person. It was sad to see it but watching Sarina take control of her life was great.<br />
<br />
Plot: 3<br />
Pretty straightforward. Was not original but it was not boring either, which was good. <br />
<br />
Flow: 3<br />
For the most part it went smoothly. There were a couple of scene changes that lost me and I had to re-read a section to be sure where I was in the story. <br />
<br />
Believability: 3<br />
I was able to read this and suspend belief about a few things which kept me reading.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
The moments when Sarina and Vane are giving into their "animal" sides were some of the hottest moments in the story. <br />
<br />
Romance: 4<br />
I love to read paranormal stories and most of the time the attraction between the leads is instant which can bother some readers. When it is done well the instant attraction/love/lust is alright. This was one of those times.<br />

SOLD TO THE SHEIKH is an emotional, erotic romance about finding a way to move on after heartbreak and love again. It contains mature themes and content perfect for fans of the Crossfire series and Fifty Shades of Grey, and at least one thing you should *not* try at home without a whole lot of practice first...<br /><br />Stella Spencer is grateful for any job she can get after her divorce, even if it's at her friend's exclusive club. And Club Volare proves the perfect place to hide while she mends a shattered heart—until she interrupts an auction scene, and the powerful Sheikh Bashir al Aziz bin Said decides that Stella is the woman that he wants.<br /><br />At Club Volare for one last wild weekend before his family requires him to settle down, Sheikh Bashir doesn't expect to find a woman he can trust, or a woman who challenges him. But Stella Spencer is a challenge, all right: both vulnerable and guarded, beautiful and insecure, and a closet submissive. But she's hiding something.<br /><br />Stella is afraid to open her heart to love again after the way she's been hurt, but Sheikh Bashir wants to be the Dom to show her who she truly is—and Sheikh Bashir always gets what he wants.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 4.5<br />
This was my first time reading a book by Chloe Cox and it will not be my last. You really could feel Stella and Bashir through their words, actions and emotions. I was so engrossed in this pair that I finished this story in 2 hours.<br />
<br />
Plot: 4<br />
The plot was believable and the eventual resolution at the end, at least for me, was satisfying. <br />
<br />
<br />
Flow: 5<br />
Even though there are many moments where Stella has a running internal monologue about how she feels currently versus what happened in her past, the overall flow of the book went smoothly.<br />
<br />
Believability: 3<br />
I do feel that in some scenes the behavior of the main leads was a little far-fetched but not to the extent of killing my overall enjoyment of reading this story.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
For those who understand BDSM, the parts where Stella began to experience and enjoy her submissive nature were gratifying. It was not rushed but flowed nicely, especially when she realized what she wanted from the relationship.<br />
<br />
Watching Bashir use his power of observation and knowledge of how to treat a submissive, brought an extra level of heat to the dom/sub scenes with him and Stella.<br />
<br />
Romance: 4<br />
The romantic times were woven nicely between the BDSM scenes and were nice to see.<br />

<br />
After being forced out of his company, Nelson returns home a billionaire with a hole in his life. When he meets Kimberly and Samuel, he decides he’ll have them both.<br />
<br />
But Kimberly and Samuel aren’t a couple, and Samuel’s the one holding things up. He hasn’t dated a woman in five years, and even though it’s plain he loves Kimberly, he agrees to Nelson’s threesome on the condition that it be only one night.<br />
<br />
Kimberly would marry Samuel in an instant if he asked. He’s just not interested. But a single night to satisfy her curiosity is better than never knowing Samuel’s kiss.<br />
<br />
There’s no way for Nelson, Samuel and Kimberly to all get what they want. One careless moment of weakness has the power to destroy them.<br />
<br />
This tale contains explicit sexual content and graphic language that may be objectionable to some readers. Includes multiple partner interactions, sexual dominance and submission, male/male and m/m/f scenes. For adults only. <br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 4<br />
The complexity of the three characters were impressive considering the fact that this story was a "short read." The behaviors, reactions and emotions were very much on display and I loved it.<br />
<br />
Plot: 3<br />
The plot is nothing new but it was well executed.<br />
<br />
Flow: 4<br />
Sometimes when a story is a "short" or "quick" read, the flow seems rushed and that affects the believability of the story. That was not the case with this story. Everything moved along at a nice pace.<br />
<br />
Believability: 4<br />
I have met people like Kimberly, Samuel and Nelson in my lifetime so the way they acted and interacted was very believable to me.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
Smoking to Inferno hot. I wanted to be in that sandwich.<br />
<br />
Romance: 4<br />
Kimberly's and Samuel's relationship prior to the introduction of Nelson made me want to read this story to see if Kimberly would get her wish. Sometimes a person gets in his/her own way when it comes to love. I am interested in reading more about these individuals.<br />

Samantha Baker isn't interested in being another notch on Ryan Fellows bedpost, but she can't deny he's got style, charisma, and prowess. When he invites her to have lunch out of the blue, she finds she can't ignore the way his eyes caress her, nor the way he seems to know exactly what she needs...<br />
<br />
Contains references to light BDSM in the form of a spanking, and Samantha must call Ryan "Sir". Eating Out alternates point-of-view.<br />
<br />
This erotic short story series is meant to be read on your lunch break.The Hot Lunch Series is a wicked hot, short and steamy, office fling, with just the right amount of romance. The perfect length to read while you munch.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 3<br />
Because this story is a novella/short read, there was not a lot of emphasis on character development. It was meant to be a "quickie" in every sense of the word. The characters are two consenting adults engaging in "play."<br />
<br />
Plot: 3<br />
Not much to it. An office quickie theme. <br />
<br />
Flow: 3<br />
The pacing was quick but flowed smoothly. I did not get thrown out of the story as I read it. <br />
<br />
Believability: 3<br />
There was nothing in the story that made it seem unrealistic. <br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
The foreplay/BDSM elements made this story "hot." It was the best part of this story. <br />
<br />
Romance: 2<br />
This was a "lust" story, pure and simple. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
I would like to first thank the author for allow me to be a beta reader for this book. I absolutely love the Mad Dogs series.<br />
<br />
Here is what I felt about the book.<br />
<br />
Characters: 4<br />
As each book progresses we learn more about the Mad Dogs and how they function, not only as a unit, but as individuals and as couples. Watching the layers around Brian being peeled aways as more of his personality, emotions and beliefs emerge has been a rewarding experience so far and one I want to continue to enjoy throughout however many more books Mrs. Cothern decides to put in this series.<br />
<br />
Plot: 4<br />
I hate to use a cliche here but the "plot thickens" in this book. We finally get to see and learn more about the two main powerhouses in the supernatural community as some of their motives get revealed and it does not all look like roses for the Mad Dogs.<br />
<br />
Flow: 4<br />
Cothern's flow is good as always and there is not much more I can say that I have not already said before about it.<br />
<br />
Believability: 4<br />
This is always a big one for me and one that Cothern does effortlessly. The moment that this fails (which I doubt she ever will) shall be the moment I stop reading this series.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
This was taken up another level and I liked it but I did have a couple of times when it drove me bonkers. I mean, I feel like we have been stuck in one long foreplay moment and I would like something to finally give.<br />
<br />
Romance: 3<br />
Because of the nature of the storyline and what was actually happening in this book, there was not as much "romance" as the first two but the romantic love between Brian and Markus is still going strong.<br />
<br />

THE SWEETEST TEMPTATION . . .<br />
<br />
Black ops agent Solomon Judah awakens caged and bound in a twisted zoo where otherworlders are the main attraction. Vika Lukas, the owner’s daughter, is tasked with Solo’s care and feeding. The monster inside him yearns to kill her on sight, even though she holds the key to his escape. But the human side of him realizes the beautiful deaf girl is more than she seems—she’s his.<br />
<br />
THE ULTIMATE PRICE . . .<br />
<br />
Vika endures the captives’ taunts and loathing, hoping to keep them alive even if she can’t free them. Only, Solo is different— he protects her. But as hostility turns to forbidden romance, his feelings for her will be used against him . . . and he’ll be put to a killer test.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 4/5<br />
I loved Solomon (aka "Solo) and Vika. His brooding, sometimes animalistic behaviors, along with his occasional flashes of gentleness (mainly toward Vika), made all the foreplay, interactions and ultimate surrender very fulfilling for me.<br />
<br />
Vika's father was well-written as the villain and several of the other secondary minions were fleshed out so that you never felt that any of the characters were "flat."<br />
<br />
Plot: 4/5<br />
This story reminded me a lot of the Beauty and the Beast theme with a Gena Showalter spin on it. Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite fairy tales so anything that has that type of theme or vibe is a welcome read for me.<br />
<br />
Flow: 4/5<br />
I think only once or twice did I get thrown out of the flow of the story but they were only minor and did not prevent me from finishing and enjoying the story.<br />
<br />
Believability: 4/5<br />
Completely believable. The characters (good and the baddies) were well-rounded and made it easy to believe the relationships and personal interactions between them.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5/5<br />
Nail biting and at other times so sweet it hurt, but in a good way.<br />
<br />
Romance: 4/5<br />
Vika's innocence against Solo's experience made this romance work. Especially in the moments when he want to devour her but managed to be a good boy and take it slow.<br />

<br />
In Rhyannon Byrd's latest Bloodrunners romance, passion and secrets collide and only their love will save two werewolves and their pack.<br />
<br />
With his sharp gaze locked on the most magnificent female he'd ever seen, Wyatt Pallaton did his best to hold himself back. Of course, Elise Drake was hardly just any female. Fiery and cool, strong, yet at the same time achingly vulnerable, she'd turned his entire world on its head.<br />
<br />
No matter how bloody difficult it proved to be, he was done letting her pretend he didn't even exist. Done with letting her fight her own battles. Done driving himself slowly into this maddening state of frustrated desire. One way or another, things were about to change.<br />
<br />
Come hell or high water, she was done running…<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 4<br />
I liked Elise and Wyatt as the main couple in this story. Each had vulnerabilities that affected their relationships with each other and their brethren. Yet, their weaknesses helped them grow as people and that made the story enjoyable.<br />
<br />
Plot: 3<br />
I was confused in some parts by the plot. I think this has to do with this book being number five in the series. I have not read the previous books and I feel, that if I had, some of the sections where I was lost in the plot would have been clearer.<br />
<br />
Flow: 3<br />
This relates in part to the plot. Anything that throws me out of the flow of reading annoys me. Again, this is partially my fault because I read this book out of order.<br />
<br />
Believability: 4<br />
The situations and the characters, as well as the world building, were very believable to me. I had no trouble picturing the various events in the story.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
The foreplay and the sex scenes were so hot, I had to walk away to cool down, come back and keep reading.<br />
<br />
Romance: 3<br />
Part of the reason for the score is despite the fact that the sexual tension and sex were amazing, the romance between the two was awkward in places. I am not sure if it was Wyatt's behavior or Elise's that gave off that vibe but it was there for me.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 4<br />
I truly enjoyed Peter and Cuke as characters. Sometimes the least complicated characters make for the best stories.<br />
<br />
Plot: 3<br />
The plot was very basic so there wasn't much to say about it.<br />
<br />
Flow: 3.5<br />
I was thrown off the flow only one time and that was toward the end. I thought it was a time continuity error but after going back and re-reading it, I realized the character was doing a flashback.<br />
<br />
Believability: 4<br />
I totally bought into the characters, the romance and the setting.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 3<br />
There was just enough to tease and sate the reader without being crude or going overboard.<br />
<br />
Romance: 5<br />
The difference in species and communication was well done and the feelings they had for each other came through clearly.<br />

<b>[Read my review of Book #1: Sixth, <a href="http://kiss-me-erotic.blogspot.com/2014/04/review-sixth-by-brenda-cothern.html">here</a>]</b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 4<br />
The characters' personalities came out more which was great because you got to know them as individuals and not just the "Mad Dogs." Cothern also gave us some history/backstory which was great and allowed me to want to know about the members of the unit.<br />
<br />
Plot: 4<br />
I love shifters, and this time, Cothern expanded on their natures, backgrounds and introduced some more of their abilities as well.<br />
<br />
Flow: 4<br />
Unlike the first book, the second one flowed nicely and keeping up with the storyline, characters, etc. was easy.<br />
<br />
Believability: 4<br />
Cothern took everything to a new level with this second book. I was still firmly rooted in the world she created for me and I cannot wait to see what other creatures - paranormal or supernatural - she introduces in the next book.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 5<br />
The tension was scorching and with the introduction of some kinks (spanking, submission, to name a few), I was hard pressed not to go take a cold shower myself. Man, the scenes this time around were hot enough to start a forest fire and then some.<br />
<br />
Romance: 4<br />
Definitely more out in the open and intriguing, especially when someone is reluctant to admit their true feelings. But is not that what makes romance fun? Learning about the other person and becoming a couple? Even the jealousy moments and the small arguments were well done amongst the various couples.<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Novel Breakdown</span></b><br />
<br />
Characters: 3.5<br />
<br />
The characters were a very interesting lot but at the same time I got confused as to who was who. Brian, the main character was easy to tell apart from the others because of his confusion and his way of thinking. And when the group resorted to call each other by the first letter of their last names, I got completely lost in some sections.<br />
<br />
Each character was distinct during dialogue sections but in other sections, not as much.<br />
<br />
Plot: 4<br />
I liked the idea of the elite of the elite being a pack of werewolves. But then again, I love shifters.<br />
<br />
Flow: 3.5<br />
There were a couple of times were I got lost in the scene and had to re-read to figure out where/what the characters were doing. Other than that, there were no continuity breaks that threw me out of the story.<br />
<br />
Believability: 4<br />
The interactions between characters read/felt like the way a group of alpha males would deal with each other. Add in the military setting and it felt real and not contrived.<br />
<br />
Sexual Tension: 3<br />
I wasn't fanning myself over some of the moments but there were a few that held the tension between certain characters very well.<br />
<br />
Romance: 3<br />
The whole "romantic" vibe is a little hard to do when werewolves are trying to create a new one. There were two moments that fell into the romantic category for me and I thought they were well done.<br />

<b>Brenda Cothern</b> <br />
Brenda is unlike most authors since she only began writing a few years ago. Her first book Fates, an adult fantasy, was published in 2010. Her love for reading fantasy, paranormal, and contemporary erotic romance has caused her to discard her Bachelor’s degrees in management and marketing in order to write full time. Currently, Brenda has fourteen books published (two of which are free!) She is an Amazon best-selling author for Brothers By Bond and Not For Sale. One of her newest releases, Highest Bidder, is the sequel to Not For Sale and became available August 2013. Her latest release, Sixth, became available January 2014 and is the first in the Mad Dogs, series as well as a best seller on ARE.<br />
<br /><br />
Brenda resides in Tampa, FL when not attending conventions and is the Chapter Coordinator for the Tampa Bay O.G.R.E.s, as well as a volunteer with the Tampa Bay Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. She is also an active member in organizing the Florida Leather Fetish Pride weekend and an associate member of the Tampa Leather Club, as well as their event coordinator for Alt Life Bike Fest.<br />
For signed digital autograph, please send her a request through Authorgraph! A personalized autographed PDF for the book will be signed and sent to you! <br />
