★ Review ☆ Heart Racer by Marian Tee #RidingDesire

 
 
Heart Racer. 73pg ebook
 
 

I hate doing these kinds of reviews, but, I am at a loss with this story. 

 

It's a short story, but took me a little over 2 days to actually finish it, which let's face it, that's really bad for me.

 

Now, I love me some cockiness in a man, but this guy thinks he is gods gift, and in all honesty, I can not stand that. He thinks he is doing the world a favor by just being there and gracing us with his presence. Sorry Leandro, but no. I think this story could have been really great if the author had of dialed back this rude kópanos (jerk), but this is just my opinion.

 

Leandro, an overly cocky, stunningly gorgeous but an extremely arrogant Greek billionaire who left Athens and has sent himself to America to "change" his ways in order to help his father's career and get back in his good graces. He decides the best way is to chance his appearance in the public eye by getting himself a fake girlfriend, one that will make him look less like the illegal street racing party animal he is.

 

He never expects to meet someone like Roberta - aka Bobby.

 

Bobby is a quiet loner, by choice. She hides under her baggy average clothing in hopes to blend in. After a girl in school plays an awful prank on her, she has sworn herself off men, she doesn't trust any of them, and that does not change when she meets Leandro.

 

Bobby gets under his skin instantly, and not entirely in a good way, so to silence her rampage on him, he kisses her,  but she still doesn't trust him, and she certainly doesn't want anything to do with him.

 

Leandro won't give up that easy, and finds out the easiest way to bed the tough virginal Bobby, is to tell her he loves her, a lie that easily rolls off his tongue, and just as easily is believed by Bobby.

 

It isn't long before Leandro realizes his love for her, but when all his lies surface and things come to a head, will her love for him be enough to forgive him, or will she leave him with a shattered heart?

★ Review ☆ Full Throttle by Adriana Hunter #RidingDesire

 
 
Full Throttle. 60pg ebook

I feel this story was quite rushed, I think the author could have slowed things down a little and left it open for a follow-up story. 
 
That being said, I did enjoy it enough for a 3.5 Kinky Heel rating.
 
I would still like to have some more time with these two, to actually watch their relationship grow. 
 

Aubrey, a young and very driven woman, who does everything she is meant to. 

 

All her dreams and goals are that of her mothers, like getting a spot in the Madison-Parkway Symphony. 
 
All her focus is on pleasing everyone in her life, until fate intervenes, throwing a dark-haired god, riding in on his bike to save the day. 
 
Caleb, the free-spirited gorgeous tattoo artist who is drawn to Aubrey at first glance. 
 
After being her knight in black leather after a bag snatching, things move extremely fast. 
 
Aubrey finds herself letting go a little, taking a page out of Caleb's book and being true to herself, at all costs. 
 
Caleb falls hard and is willing to leave behind his carefree life for her. But will these two make it, or will Aubrey stick to her mother's cookie cutter plan?

★ Review ☆ One Wild Ride by Lauren Hawkeye #RidingDesire

 
 
One Wild Ride. 30pg ebook
 
 
 
30 pages?!?! ARGHH!! Such a tease! 
 
A few firsts for me with this story.
 
I haven't read anything from Lauren Hawkeye before today, and I feel totally ripped off!  
 
And, I have not had a story where the bad ass bossy biker has been the one who wants the pain, talk about pantie-dropping HOT!!! 
 
At the end of the story, she asks if we want more of the guys from Three Little Words, that she would love to know, well Levi is from Three Little Words so ..... 
 
Lauren, I want more of Levi, please!! 

Mercedes is at a biker rally, with her "sort of" boyfriend Trey, her last bid for freedom and wildness before going back to her life and settling down. 

When Trey ditches her in the middle of everything, she decides to just let go, be free and dance along to the band that is tearing up the stage.

That's when she notices she has caught someone's eye, the sexy dark-haired drummer. 

 

Levi is in quite a sour mood, after watching his bandmate happy in his poly relationship, being who he truly is, really gets under Levi's skin. 

He has his own desires, fetishes, ones he is sure he will never have.

Until he spots her, the stunning blonde dancing in the crowd. 

 

Dancing just for him, or so he thought until she was gone.

Mercedes stalks off in an effort to find her boyfriend and clear her head after her seductive ways with the drummer, something that was a first for her, she doesn't expect what she finds.

 

Levi can't let it go, he searches for the golden beauty, finding her a pent up rage, and decides he must have her and lays his needs out there.

"I like being hurt during sex."

Mercedes throws caution to the wind in an effort to get her one hot, wild and kinky night, but will she really be able to walk away in the morning? 

Will Levi be able to let the one woman who truly accepts all of him, just leave? 

Get the One Wild Ride to find out!

★ Review ☆ Nice Girls Don't Ride by Roni Loren #RidingDesire

Nice Girls Don't Ride. 63pg ebook

Once again, hats off to Roni Loren

This story is told from both Natalie and Monroe's POV.

Natalie is very cautious of what people think about her, she reigns in her emotions to appear the cool and collected girl, who doesn't show she mad, not even when her seemingly perfect boyfriend is not answering his phone while she is stranded on the side of the road in her broken down car.That changes when tattooed honey Monroe swoops in to save the day.

Natalie is in two minds, while she is terrified that he would be some crazed killer, she cant help but watch as the 6 foot, jeans and fitted t-shirt wearing mechanic climbs out of the truck and makes his way to her.

 Nat is boarding on a anxiety attack, stuck in Monroe's mechanic shop in the middle of nowhere with no ride to get to her birthday dinner date, when she finally hears from her boyfriend, who gives her a lame excuse about cancelling on her. 

Things don't add up, and Nat wants to find out the truth.

Monroe has a feeling about Nat from the start, and bends over backwards to help her out, even though she hasn't been the nicest to him.

When he realizes that her boyfriend is dicking her around, he offers to take her home, and anywhere else she wants to go.

After a 5 star douchebag ass-kicking, and one hell of a steamy kiss, Monroe gives Nat a proposition she can't refuse, 10 hours of fun, starting with Cake for her 21st. 

Nat is hesitant, she wants to go home and cry into a tub of ice cream and call it a night, but a night with Monroe is too tempting, but she makes it clear, she's not sleeping with him.

She is finally letting her hair down and being who she truly is, this total stranger has rev'ed her up and there is no going back now. 

She is realizing there is more to Monroe than his appearance, he is a gentleman, someone who is going out of his way to make her feel like gold, and lets not forget, a god in the bedroom.

"Monroe, wait, I'm going to -" 
He pauses for a moment. "I know, princess. That's the point."
"But I don't want it to be done."
He gazes up at me, lips glistening with my arousal as they curl into a wicked smile. He looks obscene and so fucking gorgeous I can't stand it. 
"Over? Not even close, princess. This is just the first one."
 

What happens after the sun rises the next morning? Well you're just going to have to read it to see ;)
As always with Roni's stories, I am left wanting more, 63 pages is too short a time with these two. I would love to see more of them in the future, maybe a little glimpse in the Loving on the edge series *hint hint*

★ Review ☆ Deceitfully Yours, Bethany Bazile

 
 
Book 1, Deceitfully Yours. 238pg ebook


He kisses my neck, then says, "I want to know you in ways that will make you ache for me at night.

Kylie, young, beautiful and dangerous. Her life took a sharp turn at 19 when she met Mason and was dragged into a world of lies and theft. 
Mason controls her by fear, fear of what he has already done to the last person Kylie loved, that has not only scarred her emotionally but has trapped her to him, with no escape.
Seducing men to get close to them, to gain whatever it is her boss need of them is her game, one is has mastered perfectly, until Jude. 
Jude is meant to be another quick target, but her plan fails the second she lays her eyes on him, feeling a deeper pull towards him.

"The only things I know is it's never about love. It's always about lust until it isn't anymore. then you're curled up under the covers wondering when your vagina grew a heart."

Jude is your typical dark hair, chocolate eyes, mouth watering dominate God. He is instantly attracted to Kylie, and against his own caution, he pursued her, but keeps her at arm's length, for a time.
Things progress quite fast from hot steamy dungeon sex to sleep over and meeting the family, but all too soon Mason rears his head reminding Kylie of her job, that she belongs to him, get in and get the file and be gone, or her past will be re-lived. 

When the truth surfaces the tear between Jude and Kylie is devastating and their love for each other will be tested, but will it survive?

"I'm going to fuck you ruthlessly until your voice is hoarse and your pussy craves me day in and day out. Don't try to take more than you can handle because you think you deserve it. If it's too raw and dirty for you, you safe word."

Twists, attraction, deceit, delicious kinky sex, love, and heartache, this book has it all.
The only drawback I have is it was a very slow start, and the ending seemed to be quite rushed.
Will keep an eye out for the next book, Jax and Stacia's story, Defiantly Yours. Coming 2014, in hopes for some more of Jude and Kylie.

★ Review ☆ The Touch She Craves, Ginger Powers

 
 
The Touch She Craves. 22pg ebook
 

 


Now, I will start by saying this, this is a Very short D/s (Dominant/submissive) Erotica novella, coming in at only 22 pages. 

While it is short, and the author is new, she does know how to draw you into the story.

Ginger, a bratty submissive likes to push Nick's buttons, especially when they are in the company of others, others who do not know the nature of their relationship. 

She thought nothing of rolling her eyes at him during a visit with his brother, she assumed she was safe from his punishment until they got home, she was sadly mistaken. 

Nick has finally had enough of Ginger's bratty ways, and has decided to let his brother in on the secret. He is her Master, and she a disrespectful little slave in need of instant punishment. 

From humiliation, time out, and the kisses from her Master's belt, Ginger learns a valuable lesson, Do not disrespect Nick, regardless of who is around.

In my opinion, this feels more like a Chapter from the middle of a novel, this author has a lot of promise if she continues with her story.

I for one, would love to know a little more background history on these two and to see where Ginger Powers can take them.

 

 



There's a lot I'm going to second on Lil Maso's review. The story itself is very well told, and I really enjoyed the natural flow of it. In fact, I ended up forgetting about all the grammatical errors that are evident by about page 6 or 7 because the story is THAT well-told.

Just as Lil Maso pointed out, this story could have been expanded into, at the very least, a short novella. I felt the characters and story were strong enough for a longer story, and I would have liked to have read more if it had been available.

Ginger Powers definitely shows some promise! Tell us more, hire a really good copyeditor, and I believe you'll soar! You've definitely got my vote!

★ Review ☆ The Angel, Original Sinners # 2, Tiffany Reisz


"No safe word can protect the heart"

I have sat here for ages staring at a blank screen trying to figure how to start this review and keep coming up with nothing. So I'm just going to wing it and hope that it doesn't come out as screwed up as this book left my head (in a good-ish way.) ;)

 

Firstly, I should probably start with saying that this has MMF and MM sexual scenes.

 

Like The Siren, this book is raw, dark and deliciously kinky, that doesn't end with an HEA for everyone. It is a little lighter than THE SIREN, with more sexual and kink scenes, but still is a very intense book. 

That being said, let's get to it.

OK, so this one takes place not long after The Siren and we have more Griffin ::fans face::

 

So, at the end of The Siren Nora went back to where she belongs, with Søren. 12 months has passed, and while things have been blissful for the two, in secret of course because of his position as the Priest, Now they have a problem. There is a threat, a reporter who has had an anonymous tip off about our dear Priest, that he is abusing his position, and she is set on uncovering anything and everything on Father Stearns. Especially anything that involves Michael.

 

Michael, the Angel,  who has had a tough life growing up, with trying to understand who he is, a submissive, and bisexual at that. He dealt with abuse from his father. After a suicide attempt, where his Priest, our beloved Sadist, helps him pull himself together. He is sent to the country with Nora when a nosy report starts snooping around. Nora is to train Michael as a submissive, what a lucky boy. And even luckier when he sets his eyes on the drop dead gorgeous, Kilt wearing Griffin.

"Coming down the main spiral staircase taking two steps at a time and wearing nothing but a black kilt and Doc Marten boots was the lunatic laird of the manor himself. 

 

Six feet tall, bronzed skin and with the broad chest and shoulders of a heavyweight boxer, there wasn't much in the world more fun to stare at than Griffin Fiske. He had elaborate armband tattoos around both biceps, dark hair that spiked up just too perfectly, and the dirtiest smile she’d ever seen on anyone besides her.” 

 

It was instant lust when Michael and Griffin's eyes meet, but with the promise of Griffin's membership to the 8th circle revoked and Nora ripped from his life for good if he has sex with Michael, it makes for an interesting and creative time for these two. 

 

But with the connection growing day by day, will Griffin stand up to Søren for his chance at love with Michael? 

 

Now, because Tiffany just can't stop at incredible, she has to take an extra step, She has thrown in more twists.  

 

Someone has broken into Kingsley's, the King of Kinks home and stolen one of his personal files on none other than, Nora. We get some insight into Kingsley's past and shows how he and Søren became the men they are today.

"You told me about him. Good men don't hit women."
"Good men only hit the women who want to be hit."

 

The SM scenes ... FUCKING HOT!!! 

 

There seriously is no words I can use to explain how well Tiffany writes these scenes or any scene for that matter. For those who are actively in the BDSM lifestyle, you would have read books that didn't quite match up with how things really are, Tiffany's books are not one of those, everything is believable, everything adds up. 

 

Now the blood play, I would say was unexpected, but with Tiffany Reisz, I have learned to expect the unexpected and be prepaid for things I think are impossible, because that woman, will make it possible.

Oh, and Whats happening with Wes? Well, Nora is avoiding the country boy, while I have a soft spot for him, my heart is with the Priest, but what will Nora do? 

 

I have a feeling that there is a lot of twists and turns ahead for everyone. Just when you think you know what Tiffany is getting at, she flips the switch and turns your world upside down again.  

“Fetishes…they’re the pet you feed or the beast that eats you.” 

 

We’ll feed your beast until it’s tamed.”

I laughed, winced, cried and got damn frustrated as hell, in good and bad ways, but then again, what can you expect from an author like Tiffany Reisz. This woman is in a league of her own.

 

Up next, The Prince, well after I get my bearings back from this one ;)

★ Review ☆ Exotica, Eden Bradley

Exotica. 336pg ebook

Ok, so 5 Kinky Heels overall, individual rating on each review.

Wow! Romance, erotic, a little pain thrown in... Damn! 
Where do I start with this review?
I guess I'll start with the negative seeing as there is only one, and that is :
I NEED MORE!

Ok now to the positive,

Seven days of Kama Sutra, 147pg: 4 Kinky Heels

Almost 40yr old Lilli has just finalized her divorce from a loser who tore her down and stripped her of her self-worth. After reconnecting with an old friend who happens to be the manager at Exotica, a luxurious fantasy retreat. Lilli finds herself in the Kama Sutra suit, here on a self-discovery, to gain her strength back, to love herself.

Rajan, the 33year old Kama Sutra companion, who's been having a hard time with enjoying his work of late. Finding everything he does a task rather than it flowing as it once did, he begins to question his purpose.

The attraction between these two is evident, the sex... Wow!

His voice was rough with pleasure, as rough as his hand was now on his cock. "I need you to touch me. I need to be inside your lovely body. But at this moment, I can only imagine this is your hand on me." He stroked harder and faster.

::fans face:: yep sex scenes very hot indeed.

Arabian Nights, 151pg: 4.5 Kinky Heels

Caroline, the manager of Exotica, labeled "the ice queen" because she has shut off her emotions, leaving her frigid after a tragic accident 5 years prior. She has become quite a control freak. She decides to take the advice of her friend, Lilli and spend some time in the Arabian Nights suit with the new companion before it officially opens, in hope to relax a little, lose a little control and get herself back.

Kian, the new Arabian night's companion. His name alone oozes Sex! The spoilt youngest son in this family, given everything he wants, including an indulgence of women. Never really feeling anything for anyone, well until now. Dominant, confident, in control and a little cocky, are the first few things that come to mind with Kian.

That chemistry with these two is off the charts. The emotions are raw and draw you closer to the both of them.

The sex? Mind blowing!

Overall, Eden Bradley has created a magical place that captivates the reader and draws you into the actual story. You can almost smell the incense, hear the soft music in the background. And you can certainly feel the sexual build up between the characters. I often found my hand wondering while reading.

Now we just need the other four rooms ;)

★ Review ☆ Freshman Orientation, Pauer Bautam University #1, Brandon Reed

Freshman Orientation. 51pg ebook
 

Wow was this a fast story, and not in an altogether good way.

Ryan comes across as a very shallow man, looking for the newest hookup and one night stands via Facebook with his friend, searching for only twinks.
When he comes across Sean's photo, he is instantly interested and contacts him, along with another.

After coming into contact with Sean during class, the book just dropped and became extremely rushed.
The sex scenes were indeed fast-tracked and all the interruptions became old very fast.
The main focus of this story is simply, Sex. And sadly not really good sex.
I gave this 1 star because of the car scene, it was the best part of the book (excluding the insta-love in the scene)

Overall, this consists of little character building, no growing relationship, awkward average sex, and annoying unbelievable insta-love.
I have heard this is part 1 of a 5 part series, I personally will not be finishing this series.

★ Review ☆ Monica - Dominance, Songs of Submission # 8, CD Reiss

 
 
 
Book 7.5, Monica. 21pg ebook
 
"Even in love, you need pain."
 

So, it took me a few days to get myself together and actually read Monica, and boy was it a "band-aide"
 
Sing skipped Jonathan's recovery altogether, but implies that things were a little gentler over for awhile, but then Jonathan roars back to his Dominant self, and then some. 
Well,  Monica starts 6 months after Jonathan gets home from the hospital, and deals with as he puts it, the borrowed thing in his chest.
 
He feels like himself, but not quiet. He senses something different. He is going through the motions of life but at a more steady pace.

"I still hadn't adjusted to being two people in one body, and my wife knew it."

While Monica loves her husband, she misses the old Jonathan, the rough and Dominant man she's always known, she misses the way they have always been but knows she is lucky to have the time that she does with him, no matter how gentle he has become. 
 

"No human could continue to be a raging lion after having their heart ripped out."

All it takes is one word, one simple word that was whispered, that rips through Jonathan's core, reminding him of the man he is, of the woman before him, and of his need to tear her apart.


"Ouch"

Boy does things heat up from here! 
 

“You can’t leave me until I destroy you.”“If you destroy me, I’ll never leave.”“Regularly.”


If you have read the others in the series, then you already know that CD's sex scenes are fucking incredible, and this one is no exception. 
Jonathan is back and he is making up for lost time. 
 
 
Now, as I understand it, is the final book all about Jonathan and Monica :( 
But we do have more, Spin, Songs of Corruption #1,  The story is of Theresa Drazen, proper lady, and Antonio Spinelli, ambitious mobster
Not much else is out about it yet, other then the release date is March, 15th.
 
But I am hoping for more of Jonathan and Monica, it really can't be over, can it.
 
At the end of Monica, CD leaves a little note, 
 


"So unless I can cover Jonathan and Monica's story within the scope of the Drazen Sisters stories, I'll make a brief return to Songs of Submission after Songs of Corruption is complete. Just enough to write Coda"

 
Pleaseeee CD, more of SOS after SOC 
 
 
 
Need a little support with the withdraws after this series? 
Don't worry, come on over to twitter and follow myself and another CD fangirl, Lisa. There is plenty of SOS support ;)
 
I know you don't want to miss out on all the exciting updates, so Click here to subscribe to CD's mailing list.

★ Review ☆ Sing, Songs of Submission # 7, CD Reiss

Book 7, Sing. 166pg ebook
 
“I kissed him like I kissed him every time since he fell into my arms— like it might be the last.” 
  
I.... No.... How.... Why.... WOW!
  
This book took me a little longer than I thought it would to read, I actually had to have a few breathers in between. 
CD ripped my heart out and threw it into the blender, then casually stuffed it back in my chest.... multiple times.

Normally my reviews go up right after I have finished, not the case with this one, you guys would be reading a blubbering mess if I did.
So, Sing starts a little after that dreaded cliffhanger in Resist. Jonathan is in hospital after he collapsed and lost consciousness at the sight of his father's handkerchief in Monica's hand, and things are not going to smoothly for him.  
 
"Have me, please. I was wrong. You're not the sea under my sky. You are the sun I revolve around, the stars that mark me, the moon rising through me. I'm lost without you. And if you won't have me, I'll break, I swear to God. I know it's selfish, and I'm sorry. Let me serve you. Have me as yours. Let me live under you."
 
Jonathan is far from the strong, controlling and dominating man that we have gotten used to. He is fragile and weakened, and laying up in the hospital, is the vision we have. 
He is surrounded by everyone and we meet his sisters, I have to say, I love Margie. We also meet his mother and get some insight of Declan, the sneaky, selfish bastard!  And all he wants is his Goddess.
 
Monica has to keep everything together and is failing. 

Her world is falling apart, her job, her career and her personal life. She doesn't see a way to change any of it. But she isn't willing to give up, an idea forms in her mind, an unthinkable and quiet shocking  idea, one that may leave her separated from Jonathan, She knows that she will need the help of the one man that it would kill Jonathan to know she was speaking to, Declan. Declan is willing to help, but it will cost her. And Jonathan. He wants to speak with Jonathan, or he wont help Monica get the "window" she needs. The "window" to save Jonathan.

 
Jonathan will do anything and everything to protect Monica, to grant her any piece of happiness. Even agreeing seeing his father at her request? 
 
I will never look at key rings the same way again, that is all I am saying :)
 

"You’re a manipulative bastard, a brazen liar, and a sadist. You've brought me to my knees. You've dominated me. You've told me who I am and then challenged me to be it. If you made me strong enough to stand up to the world, let me stand by you. If you completed the woman I am, let me be that woman in your honor. Every part in my body is dedicated to you. Every note I sing. Every breath in my lungs. My pleasure and pain. Take me. Let me serve you. Let me be yours." 

Sex? Well not so much, but that doesn't make this book any less incredible.
In fact, despite my poor heart giving out on me a few times, I really love the depth of this story. The love that shines through is felt. The way he needs her as much as she needs him comes across loud and clear. Now, that's not to say that there isn't any sex, and like normal, keep the toys handy ladies :)
 

“He kissed me at the base of my neck. His lips were full and soft, more than lips; they were the physical manifestation of every taste of longing, every tingle of desire, every scorch of ambition.” 

Oh your probably wondering where Jessica is during all of this, well lets just say, the bitch is finally paying ;)
 
I laughed, cried, gasped, prayed, got angry and cried again, this book rips your heart out, but CD gives it back to you, just not in the same shape it was before you started. Don't forget your tissues when you start this one, they are really needed. 
 
 Now, I am off to read Monica, I am told this one is the band-aide :)Then, on to the long wait for Spin, out on 15th March, 2014.

★ Review ☆ Resist, Songs of Submission # 6, CD Reiss

Book 6, Resist. 128pg ebook
 
“I feel like no one’s ever loved me before.” 
“I’m sure they did their best, but you always belonged to me.”
The first thing you see is a big 'ole warning from CD

"FAIR WARNING
Massive Cliffhanger at the end"
 
Yes, I know you forewarned us at the start, but, far out woman!!!! 
Now that that is out there, let's move on.
 
So, at the end of Burn, Jonathan and Monica finally patch things up, he declares his love for her, and then BAM! Out come the handcuff, and not in a kinky way.
 
Jessica has her claws out and wanting money, so what does she do? Bitch has Jonathan charged with domestic violence, and she has proof. A nicely welted ass and a recording of the events, edited in her favor of course. 
 
Monica is hell bent on protecting her man at any cost, even going into the bitches den.
And like always, terrified of losing her that he is secretive with her, pushing her to do some really unthinkable things, leaving both of them hurt. 


"We are bound. I can't be unfaithful to you any more than the sky can be unfaithful to the sea."

Jonathan has some very big self-loathing moments, he believes he will destroy any and every woman he loves, pushing him to put a wall up and shut out everyone, Monica included.
His past is starting to fall into place, but I feel we still have a long way to go before we understand it entirely.
Thankfully, the dark cloud of the full events of that night with Rachel is uncovered when Jonathan's memory of it all come flooding back. 
 
Now to the sex, because come on, everyone wants to know this, and what can I say, CD delivers.
*I will never look at a tea bag the same way again, just sayin'*
The start so damn quick in this book, and are so much more dominating. 
I've seen words like Hot, sizzling and pantie melting, let me tell you all now, those words don't even come close. CD has gone above and beyond any of the sex scenes in the other books combined. Don't get me wrong, they are sizzling, hot, pantie melting moments, yet they are more, this books should come with a warning, or maybe a vibe?  Just a thought lol
 
Oh, I almost forgot, Darren, how I  love him being all aggressive ;) 


"Just stop. The next time I hear you two broke up, I'm sending out wedding invitations."

 
Ok, Ok, in regards to my earlier "we're not friends" gif, who am I trying to kid?  

                        CD,

 

I"m off to read the next in the series, Sing

I heard a little rumor that there may be an 8th book? 
I will have to hunt around and see what I can find out.
Fingers crossed

★ Review ☆ Rachel, Songs of Submission # 5.5, CD Reiss

 
Book 5.5, Rachel. 23pg ebook


"Do people like you ever have wishes, Jonathan?"

Wow! 
This little chapter is incredible!  A short trip into the past with Jonathan.
 
A much younger Jonathan at his and Jessica's engagement party at his parents home.
Being home always brought back the memories, especially when he was around his father, but tonight was different.
His father takes notice when Jonathan is captivated by a young dark haired beauty who was playing the viola and makes his point that its "normal" to want girls that age, pushing Jonathan out of his comfort zone, a place he didn't have full control. 
 
His engagement party was a typical fancy affair that had everything, including a hypnosis, one his sisters seem to think he needs to see to help him relax a little. 
He is taken back to his time with Rachel.

"Lets get this over with," I said.
"Said like a true anxious man. Can you focus your mind on what's making you tense? I'm going to count backwards from ten."
The string quartet keyed up and began with Mendelssohn. Very nice, even for a group of teenagers. Despite being from the gifted school, I hadn't expected much, especially not from the viola. No one could be that beautiful and talented at the same time. But her beauty carried to her playing, because as David counted back from ten, I didn't hear a goddamn thing past five except the viola as if there was not another instrument on the planet.

 

Rachel, the former underage mistress of his fathers, hold a place in Jonathan's heart. 
Even at 16 years old he had to be in control, not entirely a D/s way, but it was there.
All he wants is to protect her, to keep her safely away from his father, her stepfather and to be able to be with her in public. 
All she wanted was to be free. Free from her crap life where being used and abused is normal for her. Just Free. 
A drunken argument has everything spiraling out of control, something traumatic happened, something bad enough to leave a hole in Jonathan's memory. 
 
This answers so many questions about his teenage years, gives some insight into his relationship with Jessica, and also has a little surprise twist.
But still, leaves a few things unanswered. 
Do they know? What happened to Rachel? 
Is she really gone? 
 
Up next, we are back in the presence with Resist.

★ Review ☆ Burn, Songs of Submission # 5, CD Reiss

Book 5, Burn. 197pg ebook


“What we have isn't something we made. It’s something that existed before we even met.” 

 
Ok so I am just going to get this off my chest and out there....  
Much better ;)
 
Burn is in both Jonathan and Monica's POV again, and I am so glad CD choose to continue like this. Watching how they both are dealing with things draws you deeper into the story.
 
Jonathan is patiently waiting for Monica to return to him after leaving him standing alone at the door as she ran off in the cab. He keeps tabs on her, just to feel close to her. To know she is safe. To have some form of her in his life. To show her that she belongs to him, not just her body, but her heart.


“I feel your hands on your phone when you read my texts."
 

 
 
Monica does everything she can do to keep away from him, and away from her house after the cameras were found. She plods along, and on the outside she seems fine, coping with being alone once again. But on the inside, she is a mess. She has realized that she loves the one man who she can't have. It would ruin her. But she can't really let go. 


“I missed his sharp tongue and his strong arms. Yes, I missed his dick and all our play, but it was the loss of his stare, the warmth of his attention, and the emotional safety of his sphere of influence made me feel unmoored.” 

The bitch rears her head once again, she can't leave well enough alone, and rocks up at Jonathan's, wanting him back, begging for him to take her how he likes, Jonathan knows she is up to something, he just can't put his finger on it. Or belt. 
 
Monica finishes up her art project with Darren and Kevin when things take a turn for the worse, and throw Jonathan right back in her lap, leaving her fighting her inner self for control over the situation. But this time, Jonathan isn't willing to just play a game and bed her, he wants her for Keeps, and is prepared to wait for her to come back to him, willingly and without it being about sex.

"What do you want Monica?"
"I want you."
"You want me, what?"
"To take me to bed."
"No."
"No?"
"I'm not a toy." He said it while kissing my ear and touching my throat, his erection firm on my belly. He used his most tender voice. "You can't throw me away, then reel me back whenever you feel like fucking."

The sex, or should I say the sexual tension during this book is incredible, there was so many time I screamed at my kindle "Just f*** her already!" I must have seemed like a crazy woman to some of my family and friends ;)
Jonathan is even more lovable than ever if you can believe that. His self-control and restraint is flawless, flawlessly frustrating. But the wait ..... so worth it. The soft and gentle Dominant with the wild begging Goddess. The new addition to their little sex list ::fans face:: H.O.T, and that's not from the steam in the bathroom.
 
Just when you think things are finally looking up, the sky is beautiful, Monica is in Jonathan's arms, and he has just let out some earth shattering news, and BAM! CD rips the rug out from underneath us and leaves us with the mother of all cliffhanger endings, having me yet again yelling at my poor kindle. 
I just KNOW Jessica is behind this, all of this!!!
