Grounded is the final book in the Up In the Air trilogy and probably my favorite one. This book is focused on Bianca trying to assimilate herself into James’s affluent world. At the same time, James is trying to handle threats to her safety in his own controlling way.
If you thought Marriage Games by CD Reiss was intense, you’d better brace yourself for the enticing conclusion, Separation Games. Adam went to extremes to fight for his estranged wife’s love in the previous book. Now the tables have turned, and Diana is determined to make Adam realize their marriage can work while at the same time coming to terms with her submissiveness.
I’m so over adulting right now, and Meghan March’s books always provide an entertaining diversion from real life. Real Good Man was just what the doctor ordered.
Long story short, on the whole I enjoyed Mile High more than the previous one. It’s pretty close to 4 stars. I’m a sappy romantic, so I loved seeing Bianca nurtured and showered with affection.
Whitney G.’s books always put a smile on my face, and Naughty Boss is no different. It’s a classic enemies to lovers boss/employee novella with a fantastic setup.
I’ve said this before, but I popped my erotica cherry as it were with a J. Daniels book (Sweet Addiction, in case you’re curious). She’s had a special place in my heart ever since. I love her and her books—almost as much as bacon—and while I liked Hit the Spot, I didn’t adore it.
I think my rating for In Flight might be higher had I read the book a few years ago. You have a dominant, enigmatic, gorgeous billionaire who refuses to date. You also have a 23-year-old virgin who has never even had a boyfriend, but gets lured into the billionaire’s hardcore BDSM lifestyle. The story loses some of its freshness in the post-Fifty Shades of Grey era, but there are enough differences to keep things interesting.
I don’t dabble in BDSM, and I certainly don’t consider myself to be a submissive, but I’ll be damned if Marriage Games didn’t dominate my thoughts during waking hours and my dreams while sleeping. This story is tenacious in its refusal to let me go.
I love Whitney Garcia Williams. Her stories are refreshing and her characters are usually fun, unpredictable, and relatable. I liked the premise of the Mid-Life Love, but my frustration with the main character, Claire, prevented me from loving it.
I’ve had a soft spot for J. Daniels ever since I popped my erotica cherry—if you will—with Sweet Addiction. Yes, her stories are hotter than Hates, but they’re also infused with a healthy dose of comedy. When I heard she was writing a new series, I was more than ready to jump aboard the Dirty Deeds train. Four Letter Word is the first book in the Dirty Deeds series, and it has Daniels’s signature blend of sassiness, sensuality, and humor stamped all over it, but with one added bonus: heart.
Okay, so I may have a teeny tiny huge girl crush on Whitney G. I’ve been waiting on pins and needles for Turbulence to be released, and I must say it’s well worth the wait. Successfully combining erotica and comedy is difficult, but this book proves that Whitney G. is a master at it.
Kudos to Marni Mann for daring to delve into the area of dark erotica. It’s a risk that takes her well outside the boundaries of her previous novels, and while the premise is intriguing, unfortunately Prisoned just didn’t resonate with me.
