Excerpt: Chapter 1

"A sequel to Take It Off! More pranks, jokes, adventures and sexy exploits from two male strippers who have traveled the world, entertaining women and learning to make them scream with pleasure.

In this book, they take you with them on a hedonistic nude cruise, to a wild Jamaican sex club, inside the set of a porn movie shoot and on tour as they party their way from one sexcapade to the next. This is not, however, a tale of sexual conquests. It is a tale of sexual liberation-a story of two red-blooded men who love women and who have truly enjoyed helping them unleash their sexual fantasies and fulfill their sexual desires.

An EC for Men erotica story from Ellora's Cave."  ~ From Goodreads

And the boys entertain us again! Having read Take It Off! and finding it both hilarious and sexy, when I heard the second installment was out I immediately got my hands into it - and I wasn't disappointed, the formula of funny stories, hazings and some hot sexcapades continues to entertain and amuse!

Even more than last time you can spot which story is from Justin's past or which from Taylor's, there is some anonymity - but it's fun to know which one of these two authors has been a bad boy. You can also start to see  both men develop their own writing style, where Cole is more blunt and graphic, Whitfield has a more storytelling voice. Both great to create individual writing careers!

There was plenty of sex in this naughty tell-all, and some great tips for men. ;) These boys sure got around and took full advantage of their jobs, and in this book we hear how to not waste what they made but how to be smart about it and make careers for after stripping. And Whitfield gives us more great tips to get in shape - actually I think he should do a "Carmen Electra" and but out a Striptease Cardio DVD for guys... I have hers, so I'd buy his too. ;)

Top three likes : Funny stories! Sexy escapades on and off the club. Honesty.

Top three dislikes : ??? Let me think... It was too short... seriously that's all I got.

REVIEW - SOUL STRIPPER

"Monica needs mind blowing sex to sustain her and she finds her victims every night at a local strip club where she’s an exotic dancer. But when her powers begin to diminish and her fellow succubi start turning up dead, all bets are off."

"By day, Monica is a barista in a local Las Vegas cafe. It doesn't pay a lot but it puts her up close and personal with her sexy boss, Drew.

Unfortunately that’s as far as a succubus can go unless she wants to take his soul. Monica needs mind blowing sex to sustain her and she finds her victims every night at a local strip club where she’s an exotic dancer.

But when her powers begin to diminish and her fellow succubi start turning up dead, all bets are off. Monica realizes she’s the one immortal who has a chance in hell of making things right…"  ~ From Goodreads

I have to admit I have yet to have read a Succubus book but Monica sure gives them a good name! I liked her angelic yet sexy nature and her romantic feeling to Drew were quote sweet even with all the hot and heavy going on. Add in the excitement of a killer hunting the Succubus and Monica's stripper job all added up to really entertaining erotic read!

The author wrote this book so well, the language is top notch which made this story a joy to read. The characters have depth and act realistically even though the setting is great paranormality. ;)

I found Monica interesting, a fallen angel turned succubus could have easily been slimy and overtly sexy but Ms. Collins wrote her well and she has some depth to her which surprised me! I ended up liking her a lot, she's near starving herself just so she doesn't have to take lives... and then cue in Drew, her boss, her 'love' interest and don't-snack-on-him stud muffin who's wanting Monica but she can't know for sure if he wants her or if it's just her succubus allure working it's magic.

All in all, I liked this novel, it has a definite urban fantasy feel but with the benefits of erotica romance and the intrigue of romantic suspense. if you like any of those you're gonna like Soul Stripper.

"This simple and highly accessible non-fiction guide to BDSM ( Bondage, Dominance, Sadism, and Masochism ) features 50 edgy and erotic adventures to sample and is the perfect companion for the millions of fans of the Fifty Shades trilogy ( Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed ), the Anne Rice/A.N. Roquelaure Sleeping Beauty trilogy ( The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty, Beauty's Punishment, Beauty's Release ) and Sylvia Day's Crossfire novels ( Bared to You and Reflected in You ). This instruction book for couples contains one warning: you should try this at home!

From turning your ho hum bedroom into a "Red Room of Desire," to exploring the fine art of Japanese rope bondage - and a few other ideas perhaps better not mentioned in polite company - 50 Ways to Play invites couples who might otherwise think of themselves as "average" or "nice" to walk on the wild side. According to husband-and-wife writers Debra and Don Macleod, sex should pack a punch - it’s meant to catch you off guard. The fifty sexy and surprising "ways to play" offered up in this book are guaranteed to turn up the heat in your sex life."  ~ From Goodreads

Talking dirty, bondage and spanking was about all I know of BDSM and that's through some erotic romances. 50 Ways To Play brings out a whole arsenal of tricks and tips to spice up a bedroom with some good non-sex related advises as well. Like how unsexy a bedroom can be and how to spice it up - though let's be honest I won't be painting my bedroom a bordello red  anytime soon, ;)

Sex is supposed to be exciting and adventurous, and the vanilla sex most couples think they should be having can easily be spiced up! One way to do so? Read 50 Ways To Play : BDSM For Nice People! Now one won't necessarily wanna try out all of them, like the whole sadism and masochism side freaks me out, but seriously who doesn't want a little dirty talk and the occasional little smack on the butt for being a bad girl. ;)

Debra and Don Macleod have written a clean tricks and tips book about something quite dirty. Dirty in a good way. 50 Ways To Play : BDSM For Nice People is no nonsense guide book to knowing what BDSM is and how to get started, it's also quite a hot read and you'll definitely wanna show it to your significant other and go, "Wanna try this chapter out?" I sure will, though as this is a public blog, I won't tell... ;) But all men should take a look at chapter 36. Sexual Positions & Thrusting Technique. Just saying.

So who is 50 Ways To Play : BDSM For Nice People for - not your average nun I'm sure or your grandmother ( though I won't guarantee that ) but those who are bored with the three mainstream positions of missionary, cowgirl and doggy style will be sure to get something out of this book! If you want your man to talk dirty to you, get a little rough in the bedroom or give you a spanking - but don't know how to go about it then this book is for you.

Can't find any fault in this book, it gives just what it says it will - and does it professionally! Awesome job Macleods!

From... Instant Attraction

                We walked out of the restaurant and down the hall into the main lobby of the hotel, my eyes scanning for any photographers. I really didn't want my face all over the tabloids tomorrow.

                “I had a great time meeting you today. So, what now?” Slade asked as he looked deep into my eyes.

                “I don't know,” I whispered. I didn't want the afternoon to end.

                “I don't want to leave you just yet, Jewel,” he whispered in a sexy tone.

                I bit my bottom lip and started to fidget. "Then don't." I took a deep breath, trying to figure out everything that was racing through my head. "Would you like to come to my suite for a drink, maybe?" I couldn't believe I'd just asked him that, but I knew what I wanted, and at the moment it was him.

                “I thought you'd never ask.”

                We stepped in the elevator and the doors closed. We were alone. Before I could process what I was doing I was kissing him. The simple kiss set all the nerves in my body on fire. The elevator stopped and I pulled away as the doors opened.

                “This is my floor,” I said breathlessly.

                We walked into the hallway in silence. The tension between us was so strong. We reached my suite and I swiped my card to open the door. I could feel his gaze on me, it was making me nervous and turning me on at the same time. My stomach was in knots as I walked in, but not the bad kind of knots, the I-want-to-jump-him kind of knots. He was making me crazy. I truly just wanted to go with what I was feeling. I was so attracted to him. As soon as the door shut Slade pushed me against the wall and started kissing me.

                “Jewel, you are so alluring,” he said as he kissed my neck.

                “Slade,” I moaned. I could feel how hard he was as he pressed harder into me.

                “I want you,” he said as his hand grazed my breast. "Do you want me?"

                “Yes!” My heart was pounding in my chest as I led him to the bed. His urgent lips were on mine. He unzipped my sundress and it fell to the floor, leaving me in only a black lace bra and thong.

                “So sexy,” he whispered in my ear as he kissed my neck.

"Zahra proves that sex demons do it better as she goes from captive to captivator.

Sex Demon Zahra Aniron is a closet romantic. Too bad she spends her time having hot, kinky sex with paying strangers. But she needs the money to pay off her sister's debt to wizard thugs. There could be worse things than getting paid for pleasure, especially since a sex demon needs climax to survive.

As a blacksmith, Lennox Aegros puts his fury to good use pounding steel into swords. When he arrives at a new town, his real cause for being there isn't to sell weaponry, it's for revenge. When he finds the succubus he's been searching for, her beauty means he can mix business with pleasure. But the joke's on Lennox, because as he succeeds in torturing his victim by repeatedly bringing her to the brink of orgasm and then denying her the release that she so desperately needs, he realizes that Zahra's slow demise means the breaking of a heart he didn't think he had." ~ From Goodreads

How to Celebrate Like an Erotica Author

by Jaye Shields

             Hello there, readers! My name is Jaye and recently, the coolest thing happened. I received my first contract ever as an author. I knew this day would come eventually, but having it be for a book titled Confessions of a Sex Demon makes the whole adventure a bit…steamier.

             So how does one celebrate when they receive a contract offer for their first erotic novella? Champagne and leopard panties.

             I’m saving the Dom Perignon moment for my release party. Contracts call for Sophia Coppola and her festive, delicious bubbly. The pink wrap around the elegant bottle just screams, “She writes romance.” Every writer should treat themselves to a bottle of Sophia’s champagne.

             My leopard "contract celebration" panties weren’t just any leopard panties. Of course, every writer, every woman owns at least one pair of those. Oh no. These were the kind of lacey, tacky, stringy leopard-print scraps that one couldn’t figure out how to put on if they tried. When my aunt ( a flight attendant ) got word of my contract, she went shopping during her layover for the perfect gift. Behold, a tiny stand in Bangkok just happened to be selling scandalous undies. The shopkeeper tried to explain to my aunt the inner workings of the tiny strings and how to fasten them. I may be an erotica author, but I have the sneaking suspicion that if I ever tried to unfasten said panty strings, the tiny scrap would never get pieced back together.

             To all my fellow authors out there, what have you done to celebrate contracts? Anyone else get hot lingerie?

             P.S. Don’t forget to buy Confessions of a Sex Demon, for without that steamy read, there would be no leopard-print thong!

             XOXO Jaye Shields

             Born and raised in the grunge capitol, she took her love of music and poetry from the Pacific Northwest to California. Now she lives in Alameda, a quaint island town in the Bay Area.
             With a degree in Anthropology-emphasis in Archaeology, she’s itching to climb some more pyramids. When she’s not writing, she’s either at her day-job or taking long walks along the Alameda beach and gazing at the outline of San Francisco in the distance. Oh yes, and her heart can generally be found in Paris...

             Zahra woke to a sharp pinch against her skin. She tried to peel open her eyelids, but they were heavy stones. She wanted to touch her eyes, but her arms moved nowhere. Fear caused her lids to fly open only to realize that she was indeed strapped down.
             The perpetrator smiled, but it was subtle. Very subtle. His tan skin was darker in the dim room. His blue irises appeared so light that his eyes became demonic charcoals glaring at her in the shadowy room. He finished strapping her foot down.
             “Do you like your accommodations, demon?”
             “You should have asked Bane for help decorating. He’s also very good at the dark, gloomy dungeon thing.” She’d hoped to sound feisty, but instead, her voice was nothing more than a pitiful rasp.
             “Since you’re used to your mouth being filled, I’ll help you.” Lennox stood over her. She never took her eyes from his intense frown as he tied a scarf around her mouth. He pulled it tight enough to cut into the edges of her mouth. Zahra did her best to smash his fingers into the cold metal table she was strapped to. Unfortunately, the back of her head missed its mark and thunked hard against the steel.
             At least she could still see what was taking place. Fear coursed through her. She barely knew this man and she couldn’t imagine what he had in store for her. She was a succubus, used to kinky requests, and most men knew they didn’t need to kidnap her for such a session. She watched Lennox’s tall form cross the mostly empty room. The only furniture was a small table. Probably where he kept his—
             Scissors. Lennox turned toward her with a pair in his hand. As he walked in her direction, he looked entirely too innocent to be foreboding. His blond hair was a stark contrast against his tan skin. She’d felt his muscles earlier and they were those of an intense lover, not a fighter. Clearly this guy was tweaked. He was hot as hell and normally she liked freaky guys. If he hadn’t insulted her ever since they first met, they might’ve even had a chance. No charge.
             Lennox stood between her legs and she could barely see him from her tight bondage against the table. The cold metal of the scissors slipped under her corset. As the fabric began falling away, the soft groan of the metal cutting through thick black fabric echoed in the empty room. Her tight top became looser with every passing second. Heat crept into her body. Good news: she had the feeling this guy could make her come. Hard. The bad news: she was kidnapped by a psychopath and no one knew where she was.
             Maybe he’s a trap-and-set-free kind of psychopath. Love ’em and leave ’em.
             “Your body betrays you. You crave your abductor, don’t you, succubus?”
             She avoided his gaze by staring at the ceiling. Zahra could feel the heat from his intense appraisal of her body as he guided the shears across her pants. Apparently, he was leaving no clothes for her to try to escape in. It was becoming clearer by the moment that he had no plans for her to leave.

PRIMAL SONG REVIEW & GUEST BLOG "LIKE AN ANIMAL"

"Daisy sets the gold standard for a premium rush. Her combative personality should turn him off, but every time they fight they end up in bed, or on the floor, or against a wall—and the sex is always more combustible than the time before. And he’s not about to give that up. Ever."

"Deputy Daisy Picou is not impressed when Ram Reinhardt prowls into town all rock star swagger and big cat ego. She’s been burned by a lion before and has no intention of playing the fool twice. But with one scorching glance the mating frenzy ignites and passion trumps reason. An intense first encounter levels Daisy’s reservations—and most of her living room. And she’s not so sure she minds.

Ram Reinhardt has burned through and brushed aside just about every adrenaline-inducing thrill life’s thrown at him. But Daisy sets the gold standard for a premium rush. Her combative personality should turn him off, but every time they fight they end up in bed, or on the floor, or against a wall—and the sex is always more combustible than the time before. And he’s not about to give that up. Ever."  ~ From Goodreads

Primal Song was so much fun to read! The plot is entertaining, the characters fun and believable, and the small town setting with a rock star was a nice touch! Ram's desire to leave the small hicksville he's arrived to soon changes when he spots the town deputy and then there is no force on earth that will move him from her doorway - and that is just a really juicy platform to build a shifter romance from!

I loved Daisy's tough attitude, being a bear shifter she was build bigger and not a cute southern belle and she had trouble understanding why Ram was coming after her, which was so much fun to read! I love heroines who aren't aware of their charms.

Of course then there Ram, who comes off first as big time rock star, irritated and arrogant, but soon shows signs of wanting to change parts of his life, and when he gives in to the mating frenzy and takes Daisy he sees everything he's ever wanted, and a way out of the hectic yet dulling effects of his career of choice. Having to fight for Daisy when women usually flock to him is new and he's enjoying the hunt!

The romance was yummy! This is the kinda that I love, you got the action without one boring moment, you have a alpha hero with a undeniable lust for the heroine, a leading lady with no desire to mate ( except all the hidden one's she's fighting to keep under the lid ) and misunderstandings and fun moments that tickled your funny bone!

You'll love this if... you're a fan of shifters, erotic romance with a strong story line and lion trying everything in his arsenal to win his mate's heart!

Oh, did I forget to mention there is some sizzling hot sex in it!

Like an Animal

by Danica Avet

              Y’all remember that song, Closer by Nine Inch Nails? Yeah, that’s what shifter sex is all about in my mind. It’s hot, it’s dirty, it’s sometimes bloody, and above all, it’s orgasmic ;)

              I think that’s why I love writing shifters so much. They’re humans with human problems, but they also have the added benefit of being in tune with their animalistic natures. I constantly remind people that humans are animals at heart. We just cover it up with manners and culture, yet shapeshifters are animals and they make it fun to write about them.

              What’s sexier than a male who immediately recognizes a woman’s arousal? Shifters have an enhanced sense of smell. They know when a woman wants them and their animal half won’t let them ignore it.  It helps with conflict, with the intensity of fighting their human sides as their animal halves work to do what nature dictates.

              Then you have the strength of a shifter. I love the idea of a man who can take a woman, flip her this way and that in order to satisfy both their needs. They can bend and twist a woman into any position to make sure there’s no doubt in her mind who she belongs to. Are you sweating yet?

              And then there are the sounds. Wolves growl and snarl. Tigers and lions roar and purr. Can you imagine having a wild man in your bed who’s vocal in his appreciation of your attentions? Who uses all of his senses to make sure pleasure is all she feels? It’s sexy as all hell. And let’s not forget that because these shifters are so close to their animal sides, nothing is too naughty for them. They embrace everything about their bodies and have no shame when it comes to enjoying it.

              Now with all of that to think about, don’t you think shifters are sexy? Hell, I’m ready to sign up, how about you?

I hope you’ll come along on this thrill ride of adventure as Mandy Wilson finds out what it’s like to be Arrested by her Sheik."  ~ Blurb

First time reading a serial! I read parts 1 and 2 back to back, the 1st part started off odd, and I had to check if I was accidently reading part two, but after I got the hang of it Arrested By Her Sheik was fun, flirty and sexy read!

Each part is short only 15 pages but it's fun stuff so it goes quicker too, reading this as novella might be a fun experience but I have to settle for just these two for now.

I liked the little bit of Romantic Suspense in the story, with a lot of the seductive, sexy little matches going on with our couple. Want to try out an erotic romance serial with a little bit of suspense, this is good one to go with.

Rating :

“Oh my god, Mandy Wilson, you are so going to jail for this,” I hissed as I tiptoed up to the decrepit back door of the even more decrepit Greek jail. My first clue of impending disaster should have been the dented door hanging ajar, the second the eerie silence in the alleyway, but I was so determined to clear Marco’s name I breezed forward on my mission. I had to save my would-be gigolo from Nick Constantine, the obnoxious but sexy Greek cop who’d arrested him last night.  

Thankfully the sun was going down and the growing afternoon shadows covered my movements. I caught a glimpse of myself in the reflection of a window and winced. I looked as ragged as I felt and even worse excited. I was reluctant to admit that good girl me was getting off on this. My mocha skin was flushed with what I was pretty sure was sunburn, my green eyes were drowsy from a sleepless night tearing ass through the convoluted Greek legal system, and my long wavy dark hair had long ago escaped the bun I’d pulled it in to curl around my overheated face.

  Damn, the jailer would probably take one look at me and call the gendarmes. I wouldn’t have been forced to go to these extremes if Nick had been reasonable last night. But he hadn’t been. Marco was inside, our cruise ship was about to depart, and I was damned well going to get him out. It was my second reckless act since starting this journey of sexual discovery, the first being hooking up with Marco two days ago, and I was going was damned well going to do this.

I touched the door, noticing too late that it seemed to have been kicked in, and winced when it swung open with an audible groan. The groan I bit back was even louder as I froze...double fuck...and waited to be arrested. I couldn’t help imagining Nick coming down on me hard. I shivered with what I was afraid was excitement...
