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?

REVIEW - HER PERFECT MAN

"Though Kim does her best to shut him down, Charlie's not put off by her attitude. He doesn't scare easy. Kim thinks she's clever, using sex to keep him off guard and to maintain her emotional distance. But Charlie sees through her prickly exterior to her tender heart beneath."

Excerpt: My friends call me Charlie

"Kim Hansen has terrible luck with men. When her sexy downstairs neighbor shows a more-than-neighborly interest in her, she's suspicious. She's been burned too many times, by too many guys. Charlie Keller is smart, hot and successful--so what does he want with her besides a few nights of pleasure?

Though Kim does her best to shut him down, Charlie's not put off by her attitude. He doesn't scare easy. Kim thinks she's clever, using sex to keep him off guard and to maintain her emotional distance. But Charlie sees through her prickly exterior to her tender heart beneath.

But Kim needs to be won over. Sure, their bedroom action is awesome, but given her past mistakes, she's convinced that Charlie is too good to be true. Just too perfect. But if Charlie has his way, he'll prove that he's the perfect man for her."  ~ From Goodreads

Nona Raines can write her heroines funny, quirky and filled with attitude and soft core! Just what I like! I loved Kim's tough girl attitude, her prickly defenses and her genuine worry she'd gone too far - which kept her from being unreletable. Raines writes Kim with a lot of depth, lots tricks and traits which add a lot to Her Perfect Man. Can't wait to read more!

Of course the book hadn't been as great if there hadn't been Charlie, first sort of boring neighbor that ended up catching Kim's eye anyway and hence the reader's as well. Even though not your garden variety stunner he had all the other attributes women look for in man, funny, steady, sexy in the bedroom and willing to fight to get the girl, even when the girl is playing offensive like there is no tomorrow.

The romance was great! Even with all the hot action of a erotic romance, Her Perfect Man had a great plot, great story and great deep characters which made the unorthodox-romance-all-backwards real and entertaining and so much fun to read! Her Perfect Man did not disappoint!

            “That’s better. Relax, darling. You’re meant to enjoy this.” His hands moved, untangling and unrolling the last lengths of her hair, drifting lower, following the contours of her upper back to her waist and circling her there, pausing for a moment before leisurely curving across the mounds of her bottom.
            What she was allowing this man to do stunned her.
            “You have lovely hair, Faith, a beautiful body. I could touch you like this all night.” He kissed her neck, tickling her with small nibbles. “I’m taking your dress off now. Your answer, my dear?”
            An answer? He wanted speech when her throat had seized up? “Yes. Sir.”
            The wall behind the chaise lounge was cream...the lounge was timber and blue and her legs shook. Already.
            From the sound, he’d knelt then his hands encompassed her ankles and ran a little way up beneath the dress. Cool air caressed her body as he took the garment up. “Raise your arms, Faith.”
            She did so. The dress pooled on the lounge where he tossed it. She’d never stood before a man in her underwear before--in corset, drawers and stockings--and this was a man who knew how to control her with mere words. The longing to know what he meant to do made her breath come harsh to her ears. Her lips parted.
            “I like a woman who obeys my commands.” He rested his hands on her shoulders.
            Before she could stop herself a small noise escaped her lips.
            “Do you have a question?” His hands moved on her muscles, massaging and spreading a delicious warmth that pooled in her breasts and groin.
            “Yes. Uh, sir.”
            “Ask then.”
            “I don’t obey.” She let her head slowly drop forward as he continued the massage, and his body moved in to mold against her back. A hard length pressed along the crevice of her bottom. “I don’t. Not normally. Just you. And here. Uh. That’s all, so nice.”
            He laughed a little, softly, near her ear. “I could tell you liked it, sweetheart. Obeying me here and now is all I want.” He stepped away, keeping a single finger in the center of her back. “I’m going to take off the rest of your clothes, Faith and bind you.”
            Oh my God.
            “Now is when you should say, no, my dear. Then I’ll go.”
            She licked her lips. Say, no? And miss what her body craved? He’d done what he had at the workshop--made her throb exquisitely in all her private places. She said nothing, wanting, needing, to see what else he could do.
            “You want me to stay then.”
            “Yes, sir.”
            “Good.” This time she heard roughness in his voice. “Good.”
            He drew off her shoes, her drawers, her hose and corset until she waited there naked with the air caressing her skin. The man in her room was still clothed...and she was naked. Her heart thudded, fast and anxious.
            “Put your wrists together, behind your back.” His voice softened as he moved away. Something knocked, then came muted noises. Mr. Meisner returned and stopped there, just behind her, within reach, where she couldn’t see, waiting.
She sucked in a breath, let it out slowly, and did as he ordered--put her arms at her back. He wrapped some sort of rope around her wrists, tightened the bindings until she could do no more than twist her hands one against the other.
            “The curtain cords,” he murmured. “Being an engineer, I like to use chains and metal when I can, but this will do, for your first time. How does that feel, Faith?” He set his hands on her hips. His skin on her naked skin. She shuddered, feeling wetness seep between her legs. “Turn around and look at me. Now.”
            Of a sudden, seeing him looking at her was scarier than staring at the wall and knowing he did things to her behind her back. She bowed her head, felt her hands again--roped together. The position made her breasts jut out and as she looked, her nipples puckered and poked out like fat buttons.
            “Faith. Turn and face me.”
            “Yes, sir.” She shuffled around and his hands stayed on her, sliding at her hips, just above there, where she ached. His big brown eyes were on her and she couldn’t help but look up into them and be caught, the sensation turning topsy-turvy, messing with every thought in her head. Mr. Meisner had her in his hands.
            “There, love. I do believe you like this.” His eyes crinkled and his mouth moved in the most heartwarming smile she’d yet observed. “You don’t need to answer that. I can see. In this.” He put both hands on her breasts, cupping them then brushing each thumb once across her nipples.
            “Oh.” She swayed and found her eyes half closing.
            “And this.” Deliberately, while his gaze still locked with hers, he let one hand leave her breast, trail down her stomach, across the triangle of hair...
            No. He wouldn’t. She tugged at the ropes around her wrists but nothing gave. Her helplessness fed into the heaviness curling tight and low in her stomach. The nub of flesh inches from his fingers peaked and hardened. She tensed then arched into his hold, and still he watched.
            His hand slid between her legs and paused there. “You’ve no hair on your lips down here, Faith.”          
His eyebrows rose a smidgeon.
            He wanted her to speak? Just being there, still, his finger confused her, kept her thoughts centered on the minute details of what he did. “I...I remove it. A friend in Paris showed me. For cleanliness and all...um.” Her explanation trailed away, swallowed by the sensations bubbling up.
            “Hmm, I like the result.” His gentle baritone hum...the spot his finger touched...her nakedness and the power this man had over her, and, oh, the way he watched, it all roiled deliciously around inside her.
She gulped then held her breath as...his finger followed the line of her slit, where wetness collected, and slow as a tongue licking the edge of an ice cream, nudged aside her lips, and dipped inside her. There. Oh. Yes. A coil of simmering energy seemed to squeeze down into the tightest ball, and quiver to be released. His thumb found her nub and pressed down firmly. Over and over and over.
            Her heart stopped. The room shattered. Her breath came out in a choking squeak from her gaping mouth. Nothing existed except the storm of pleasure bursting upward from where he probed and pressed. Unable to stop herself, she jerked and moaned through each wave of the storm until her body was wrung dry of the very last shudder.
            When the room centered and she raised her eyelids, Mr. Meisner held her in his arms, snuggled to his chest. He rubbed her back, just like he had on the boat. “There you go, sweetheart. Lord. Never seen any woman orgasm that easily. You do like this. Do you understand? You like being tied up.”

Though I’d much rather stay invisible and spin you all tales with my words, here’s a little snippet of my world.

I have a lovely family, here in Australia, with the prerequisite teenager who dwells in the dark bedroom catacombs…a husband who raises eyebrows when he catches glimpses of what I write, and a furry menagerie of other animals barking, meowing, and swimming about the place.

I write stories that will blast you from your bed & heroes who will drag you back there by your hair and ravish you endlessly - think kink, adventure and alpha men.
