Jo-Anna's Review:

Not everyone is into "the other way" but Amy wants to give Troy a gift. A special part of herself that no one has ever touched before. I thought it was written really well and it was so sweet and tender and HOT!

It's kind of funny cause Troy is shocked that Amy wants to lose her virginity to him in other ways. I really liked this installment. It was written in a way that for an erotica newbie or someone faint at heart could enjoy this without being squeamish. I loved it and I'm so excited that Amy and Troy are slowly able to be together.

Great job again as always my dear, Red!!

Excerpt:

The gorgeous redhead put her hands on his chest. "Lover...Do you mind if I call you that?"

"No, I like it," Troy said, brushing his hand against her cheek.

Amy smiled at him shyly. "I wish I had known you when I was younger. I wish you had been my first."

"Yes, that would have been nice, Amy." Troy played with her long red hair, loving the soft feel of it.

"There is something I have never done, but I want to do it with you now."

He was intrigued. "Really?"

She looked down at her feet, blushing a bright shade of pink. "Oh...how do I even say it? It sounds so crass."

He chuckled lightly. "Just say it, Aims."

"I want you to be my first...the other way."

Jo-Anna's Review:

Another wonderful installment about Amy and Troy.

Finally we see them back together and they admit their feelings for each other. They come to terms with their past relationships (Kate and Brad).

Unfortunately it's like fate doesn't want Amy and Troy together. Troy has to move far away for work but they spend some time together before that happens. It was sweet and tender and I'm just rooting for these two. I know they end up together but how they end up together is killing me. Lol!

Great job again Red!!!

Excerpt:

 She looked up at him, barely able to voice the question that had been plaguing her ever since that horrible night. "How did you feel?"

"Amy, I've loved you since the moment we first met."

Tears spilled down her cheeks. "All that time?"

Troy nodded and then shrugged his shoulders. "You were Sam's girl. What could I do? I'm not the type of guy to screw over my best friend."

"I didn't admit it to myself until Sam and I broke up, but I've loved you for quite some time."

"Damn it, Amy. That night I should have come back to bed and taken your face like this." He took her face in both his hands. "I should have kissed you." He pressed his lips against hers." And then I should have looked you straight in the eye and said, 'I love you, Amy Garner.'

She looked into his dark brown eyes, searching for any deception. She found none.

The Flame (Sensual Erotica #6) by Red Phoenix

Book Blurb:

The Flame (#6 of the Sensual Erotica Series)

A sensual "quickie" about a hot night of naughty paddling - (Approx. 4250 words) Perfect for mobile eReaders - have access to a quickie whenever you need a fix.

Amy calls Brad her Master. In his house she becomes Feral, his willing sex slave. Brad is falling for the beautiful redhead and has only her pleasure in mind the night he brings out the paddle. After an erotic night of naughty pleasure, Brad expresses his true feelings in the bedroom. Amy opens her heart to him, unaware that an old flame has returned to rip their world apart.

Amy never thought she would enjoy being submissive to Brad, but the man knows just how to please her. After a chance meeting with her almost-lover Troy, Brad is shaken enough to express his true feelings for Amy in a night of deep passion. She assumes Troy has moved on and decides to start a life with Brad. Her budding relationship is threatened the day Troy returns for her with his arms wide open.

Jo-Anna's Review:

Ok, again. Hello Master Anderson! Or Master Brad or just Master works for me too. He can call me Feral or anything he wants. Lol! Yummy!!

I've probably said this already but I swear as I read each installment, they just keep getting hotter and hotter and who thought that could happen?

This next quickie is all about Amy and her Master...*insert swoon* He teaches her new things and brings her to new heights and I'm sad, because I know they don't end up together. Hence the title of the book. Lol! But I'm totally enjoying Amy and Troy's journey back to each other and I love each little quickie more and more.

 Excerpt:

 Brad played with her long red hair murmuring, "My beautiful Feral." He grasped the back of her neck and kissed her deeply. The look he gave her at the end of the kiss was ripe with tenderness. Brad escorted her to The Room and asked her to strip down while he retrieved something from the kitchen. Amy stood in the secret room naked and alone. She looked at the wall of sex toys and wondered what tonight's entertainment would be.

Brad returned with a single chair and placed it next to her. "I need you to get the paddle off the wall." Amy's insides churned. Was he going to punish her for what happened earlier with Troy? She took it down slowly, her hand trembling as she walked back to him.

When she returned to his side, Brad was already wearing his leather mask and had other items laid out for her. She handed the paddle over saying softly, "Don't hurt me, Master."

Brad's green eyes stared at her from behind the dark mask. "I will do what I want, Feral." She was relieved when he smiled and added, "But I promise you will like it."

Taming Feral (Sensual Erotica #5) by Red Phoenix

Book Blurb:

Taming Feral (#5 of the Sensual Erotica Series)

A sensual "quickie" about a sexy Master/Slave relationship - (Approx. 6100 words) Perfect for mobile eReaders - have access to a quickie whenever you need a fix.

Amy falls hard for Brad. He is sexy, intelligent and terribly handsome - but he hides a dirty little secret. Brad wants Amy as his sex slave. It is not an easy task to tame the strong willed redhead, but Brad knows how to tease her into submission. Amy is about to discover a whole new world of sexual pleasure.

Amy meets Brad in a communication class and is completely taken by him. But there's a problem, Brad wants her as his sex slave. He promises to please her like no other man, but Amy is far too independent to become a man's toy. Still, Brad is convinced he can get her to call him master. His plan is to tame her feral spirit with the exotic pleasures hidden within The Room.

Jo-Anna's Review:

Okay so because I'm a dork I didn't actually realize that Brad/Master Anderson is the same Master Anderson from the Brie books. No wonder I loved him so much. He's definitely a Dom who knows what he wants and I was actually kind of sad that Amy wasn't interested even though he definitely gave her a night of new adventures.

Amy broadens her sexual experience with the Dom of my...er...her dreams but she's still drawn to Troy. Of course. Cause well...it's Troy. Yum.

Could be read as a standalone but I suggest starting from the very beginning so you get the full effect.

Loved it and I love Brad more now!!

Excerpt:

Brad moved to the other side of her neck and bit down lightly. Amy struggled to stay still when her knees threatened to buckle. Then he sucked on the delicate skin, harder and harder until it brought a bite of pain. She instinctively unclasped her hands and jerked away. He stopped and looked at her. "You cannot move, Feral."

"That hurt."

Brad circled the area on her neck that had received his attention. "Pleasurable pain?" The richness of his voice and the warmth of his touch excited her.

Amy realized she'd pulled back because it was unexpected, not unpleasant. She clasped her hands behind her back and presented her neck to him again. She could feel his hot breath before his lips came down on her neck. She felt the sting, but did not resist. Instead, she gave into the feeling and started moaning softly. Brad pulled away, admiring the mark his lips had left on her white skin. It seemed so high school, but somehow he'd made it incredibly erotic.

Brad leaned in close. "I can make you want me like you have never wanted any man."

Angie J's 3.5 star review:

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

One of the things I like about Melissa's books are that they are quick in and outters.....being a blogger there are days when I want something short, sweet and perfect.  Her books totally fit that tine constraint for me.

This book is about Lissa who is helping her best friend Chloe.  Chloe's son was hurt and Lissa calls Alex, the jackass ex, to tell him.  Well Alex isn't what she expected on the phone and is excited she will be at the hospital?  What is that all about? Well Holy hawtness...Alex shows up and Lissa is trying not to jump his bones in the hospital.  Alex and her have instant chemistry.  The two even begin to date.  Alex admits he has been asking Chloe about the hottie in the picture for months now and she is allll for them dating...so they do.  The end of the story is very sweet and made me immediately begin on book 2.  I hope you will as well.

Book Blurb:
 For Lissa, the second time at love was a charm but in marriage, three’s a crowd.

Single mother Lissa Vincent found her soul mate in her best friend’s ex-husband. Alex Hunter couldn’t believe his fortune when his ex-wife told him her best friend was available. After divorce, finding love again could be a challenge but it appeared Alex and Lissa had gotten lucky. Yet as they start their lives as newlyweds, Alex and Lissa don’t realize just how difficult it might be to blend a family.

When Alex’s ex new marriage begins to unravel, she sets her sights again on Alex. Does Alex still have feelings for the mother of his child? Will Lissa keep her best friend or lose her husband?

Fairytales promise a happily-ever-after. But what really happens after the after

Angie J's 4 star review:

I received this book from the authors for an honest review.

Alrighty sooo i finished book one and immediately started book 2. I will say this book was longer then the first and combined both books were 60 pages??? The vibe of this book was totally different. Lissa and Alex are married and happy. They are managing his kid and her kids plus her jackass ex hubby who is not thrilled she has remarried.

Well Chloe's marriage is becoming strained and she begins to make uncomfortable comments to Lissa about how Alex wasw hers first...uhm excuse me sister....you threw this man away when you had an affair...yes ladies the grass isnt always greener now is it *SMDH* Well Lissa invited Chloe to move in with them even though she is feeling the pressure of this awkward situation. She feels like Chloe is trying to steal her husband away and guess what *GASP* She is!!! *cue music* Well Lissa is not having that at alllllll....she is gonna fight for her man but sends him to sleep with the kids even though she knows nothing happens??? Now come on Lissa!!!!

I loved this short story/series and the epilogue was great. So like I said before, if you want a quick, sweet but with a little bit of drama story...these are great!!!

A Romantica(r) contemporary erotic romance from Ellora's Cave

click here

Angie J's review:

 I received this book from the author for an honest review.  My actual rating is 3.5 but I rated up :)

So I talked to Mel after reading and told her I loved her modern day twist on the movie Pretty Woman.

Kate was a battered girl and has been through it all.  She has lived and survived and is a girl who enjoys her sexuality and the freedom being a call girl gives her.  She is in control.  she says who and how much (Sound familiar..snickers)  She has had a few not so great clients but she has worked her way up and has a great clientele of amazing men/lovers.  She has a special emotional connection to Blaine but realizes that he is wanting a mistress 100% of the time and wants that to be her.  She decides it its time to cut ties to him....caring too much is not a good idea.

Blaine wont take no for an answer.  he arranges to get Brandy/kate to go to a fundraising activity with him.  She is run smack dab into the evil client that made he decide to cut some of the guys go and focus on just a few...oh yeah and his wonderful wife is the bully that Kate had to deal with her entire life...ugh right. NOOOOO Worries Blaine is there to save the day but then Brandy/Kate is put in an awkward situation and Blaine lets us...er....her down.  I was sad that Blaine was a jackass to be honest and it hurts Kate.

Well Kate is over with Blaine and decides to move on but he wont let her......

I enjoyed the short novella but found a few of the flash back scenes were out of place a bit so it took me out of the story a little bit but i did enjoy it.  The ending was the perfect HEA and I was loving Blaine' way of smoothing things over....giggle...you know you wanna know what happens......

Jo-Anna's Review:

Ok. Again, wow. I'm probably saying pretty much the same thing through each review but these little hot stories are so erotically yummy, that they deserve their own reviews. Even if it's a couple of sentences about how great they are or a huge long paragraph.

So first off, poor Troy. I'm so not a fan of Kate. Just saying but I really love Troy. Both Troy's. Lol!

Amy...wow...her intense threesome's with the cousin's...totally hot. I really loved the three of them together. I could read their scene's over and over again.

Keep the wonderful work Red! I can't wait to read more from you!!!

Axel - Blog Tour Kick Off!! -- INTERVIEW WITH IZZY!!!

 

WELCOME TO THE BLOG TOUR KICK OFF TO Axel!!  by HARPER SLOAN!!

We have had to many bloggers sign up that Twinsies decided to do a kick-off interview before we take this to the road!!!  Get ready for a CRAZY BUSY WEEK!!! Tons of great reviews and interviews will be posted daily!! 

 

Here's the FIRST INTERVIEW EVER WITH IZZY AND DEE, from Axel!!! 

 

 

Hi All – This is Brenda, from Twinsie Talk....Today is an exciting day.  I get to interview Izzy and Dee from the book Axel.  We are having a “Girls’ Day”.  I am meeting them at the beauty shop. Sway is going to do our hair!!!  I’m so excited.  I cannot wait to meet him.  I’m a little nervous, though.  I’m hoping Izzy doesn’t get any crazy idea about us going to get a tattoo or anything pierced!!!  I’m an old woman, I don’t need to have anything tattooed or pierced at my age!!!

Oh well, here it goes. 

I pull up to the strip mall where the beauty shop is.  I park several stores down.  I have to walk by the Corps Security store front.  I try not to gawk as I walk by.  I see several VERY HUNKY men sitting inside.  OH MY LORD!!  One of them just looked my way!!!  I think I may just melt right into the sidewalk!!!  I sure hope I get to meet them.

As I walk up to the beauty shop, I see Dee and Izzy getting out of their cars.  Sway opens the door and almost screams at us!!!  I go to shake his hand and he grabs me and gives me a HUGE hug!!!  I knew I’d love him!!!  He’s got quite the outfit on today!!  I feel very underdressed!!  I hug Dee and Izzy and we go inside.

We are all chatting and Sway looks at my hair.  He says “OH GIRLFRIEND, we need to fix this mess!”  I tell him that I agree and he can have at it!!  He’s now jumping up and down in his high heeled thigh-high boots and jeggings.  I laugh.  Dee and Izzy are now laughing too.  Izzy says we better start this interview before Sway gets ahold of my hair and takes over our conversation.

We sit in our chairs and immediately we all have someone giving us a foot massages.  This is heaven.

So, Izzy, how often do you get to have a special Girls’ Day now that you have little Nathan?  You will need to show me pics, by the way!!

I know, I know!!  And trust me girlfriend, I brought a camera full!  He is so perfect…just like his daddy!  Believe it or not, this is the first time since he was born I came to see Sway.  He was NOT happy about being left out for so long.  If it hadn’t been for your call I would still be at home.

So you’ve got to tell me about that first night you saw Axel after all those years?  I know it kinda freaked you out, but wasn’t part of you so excited to see him again? 

No, oh God no.  I was so out of my mind scared.  Not because of him, but because of the reality of what my life had been without him.  Looking back now I could kick my own butt for acting like that.  So much time had been wasted already and my fit didn’t help matters.

You also mention that Axel was more built and “bigger” that when he was 18.   (giggles)  does that mean that he “grew up” everywhere?!?! (I think I’m blushing)

HAHA!!  Oh girl!!  Alright, since I know this is just between us girls…er, and Sway, YES!  My man, oh girlfriend what he can do with his body.  When I say he grew up, I mean he GREW UP. 

This question is for Dee and Izzy – Just how can you get anything done with all of those gorgeous hunky guys hanging around all the time?  I don’t think I’d be able to stand up my knees would be soo wobbly!!  (I hear Sway squeal and start jumping up and down again!)

(I know Sway has a comment here)

(Dee opens her mouth to speak but…enter Sway) Oh honey! Let me tell YOU!  Sway spends all his time, yes he does, just waiting for one of those hunks to walk past my windows.  Muscles, tight shirts, MUSCLES, and those jeans.  Oh.  My.  Goddess!  What I wouldn’t do to die and come back to life as denim!  (Dee is laughing so hard at this point)

Brenda, I think what Sway so dramatically means is yes, it is very hard to focus with those 5 around!  I have never been more grateful that my office is on the other side of town!  The do not make insurance agents like those men.

Sway asks me if he can color my hair.  I say yes, but it has to stay in the blonde family!  I don’t want any crazy hair color.  I’m a mom and don’t need to look like a teenager.  I see him frown.  LOL  I tell him he just needs to make sure all the greys are covered! 

I then look over to Izzy.  She’s texting on her phone and has a smile on her face and I do believe she’s blushing.  Hey, Izzy, are you texting Axel?

Izzy coughs a few times and quickly shoves her phones away)  HAHA!  Izzy just got busted sexting with her man again!!  Brenda, I promise you those two are like horny teenagers!  Never stop! 

Shut up, Dee!  Yes…that was Axel and he was, uh…asking about dinner tonight.  **blushing**

Izzyyyyy, please let Sway see that!!  Oh honey, dinner!  I bet he was asking about dessert instead!!!

Dee, have you found a new roommate yet, now that Izzy has moved in with Axel?

No.  (She looks over at Izzy with a pained expression)  Just not really ready for another roommate.  Maddox’s apartment complex had an opening so I just moved in over there.  It’s nice and secure.

Izzy, how does it make you feel knowing that there are thousands of women out there drooling over Axel?  I have to admit, I really did have a crush on him!!  By the end of the book, however, I was totally in love with Maddox!! (shhhhh don’t tell my husband!)

I love it!  I honestly don’t blame them…just look at him.  Haha!  I would probably enjoy it a little more if his ego wasn’t about to knock the house down.  I swear that man loves his ‘other women’!

Dee, are you seeing anyone now?  I really hope you find a nice hottie to take care of you!  You really deserve it.  You are a really good BFF!!

I sure am…well, I casually date.  Not really to settle down, if you know what I mean.

Don’t let her fool you, Brenda!  She is running like a scared little chicken!

Speaking of Hotties and BFFs – the door of the shop chimes and I think I’ve died and gone to heaven...In walks 4 of the hottest men I have ever seen in my life (sorry honey, you know I still love you).  I’m glad I’m sitting down otherwise, I may have just passed out!  I recognize them right away.  Axel (I’d recognize those green eyes anywhere), Greg (HOLY BLUE EYES), My Maddox (just WOW – I wipe the drool) and Coop (just heavenly).  I know that Sway is just as affected because he stops doing whatever he was doing to my hair and I think I hear his heart beating from my chair!! 

Oh honey what did I do to deserve this parade of gorgeousness!  Oh my lawwwd!! 

Sway, keeping my girl happy today?

Axel, you sexy man, of course I am.  Doesn’t see look happy?  Well, it might have been your fine ass popping up on her screen.  How many times will it take before you remember her hairdresser will see the message if he is standing behind her.  And, boyfriend…she was not right, grow you did!

OMG, Sway…stop!  (Izzy jumps up and gives Axel a big kiss, interrupting his shocked look of terror)

Izzy introduces me to the “boys”. I don’t even remember if I said anything.  I’m sure they all think I’m acting like a teenage girl!!  I just sit in amazement until I realize I have foils in my hair and must look a fright!  I laugh and giggle and try to put together a complete sentence.  “Hi boys, it is soo nice to see.... I mean MEET you!”

(nods and smiles from all of them and Coop walks over)  Hey there you pretty lady…plans tonight??

 

I TOTALLY BLUSHED RIGHT THERE!!!! OMG - I AM A TEENAGED GIRL!!!

COOP!  Leave her alone!!  (Dee pulls a still smiling Coop away)

Sway finally finishes my hair and swings me around to take a look.  I love it!!  It makes me look younger!  He’s pleased with my response.

Could Sway ever do anything other than perfect?  No ma’am he would not!  Just wait until your hunky husband sees you tonight! 

After chatting with the boys for a few minutes, Axel says that he “needs” his princess home.  He said that Nathan is with a sitter for the rest of the day and he doesn’t want to “waste” a minute of alone time.

Well I can take a hint and I hug everyone  ( I may have “accidentally” pinched Maddox in the bootie – hehehe).  I tell everyone Good Bye and tell Greg that I can’t wait to hear his story next.

I get in my car and pinch myself.  I had to be dreaming!!  I really just met all the boys from Corps Security!!!!

Well Twinsie fans, I know that you are all sooo jealous of me right now!!  HELL, I’M JEALOUS OF ME RIGHT NOW!!!  Totally worth it!!

Thank you to Harper Sloan for writing these hotties and bringing them to life.  And to my hubby – I’m on my way home honey!!!  And if I call you Axel, Maddox, Greg by mistake, just know that I still love you!!

oh, and by the way, my husband did NOT notice I had anything done with my hair..... go figure, huh!!!  When I told him about my interview and Sway, he said he'd better stay home, Sway might be into chocolate, and his chocolate self might be too much of a temptation him.  OH MEN!!!!  ~brenda~  thanks for reading my interview.

Here's my review for the book:

I don’t even know where to begin with this book....even “book” sounds too insignificant of a word.  This was a STORY not a “book”.  I was asked by a friend and author if I could help out a friend of her’s and edit a book that she was writing.  I said, of course!  I was a little nervous, as  I’ve never read anything by her.  This was her first book.  What if I didn’t like it? Well, a few weeks later, I received an email with what she had written “so far”.   I read it and from the prologue, I was intrigued.  I was crying in the prologue.  I was so emotional.  I couldn’t wait to read more.  And that is how my love of Axel started. Sigh...

 Yes, I edited this book, so one would think that I am biased.  I might be, but even if I hadn’t, I would love this book.  It’s such a great story about a second chance true love.  It starts out a little “rough”.  Rough, as in I winced and gasped several times.  It was hard to read.  I truly felt for poor Izzy.  Domestic violence is tough to see on TV or in a movie, and that’s what I felt like I was watching......a movie. 

But Izzy is tough and is a survivor!  She comes through very strong.  Her best friend, Denise, moves away with her to start her life over.  That’s a GREAT best friend!!  Izzy has another best friend, Greg, who has been through a lot with her and helps her deal with her emotions from her past.  When her estranged husband contacts her again, Greg contacts his friend to help.  He owns his own security company.  They were best friends in the Marines.  When Izzy meets the man that can help her deal with her husband, she thinks she’s in a horrible nightmare... it can’t be...can it be?  Why is he here, and on her birthday?  Her birthday is an awful day for Izzy.  She just wants to drink to forget and wake up the next day and not have to remember what happened on her birthday. 

True love prevails.......sometimes it’s a rough journey, but true love can survive.  I don’t want to give away too many details.  Just trust me when I say that you MUST read this book.  I cannot tell you how much I loved it!  You may have seen me on facebook pimping the hell out of this book this week.  I’m the type of person that likes to share greatness when I see it.  I am so excited to hear about Greg Cage in the next book in the series.  Believe me, I’m already bugging Harper Sloan to get to writing faster so we can read that story.

Axel is an ex-Marine...that alone puts him up a few notches on the hotness meter.  Add those green eyes and the way he talks to his “princess”, and you will be melting.  There are several scenes (like chapter 13) that I really needed a cold shower after reading.  I have a few pictures that go along with that chapter.  Soon, you’ll be one-clicking, and you’ll also be swooning over Axel.  You may not to read that chapter in a public place!  YEP, it was that hot!!!

There are other ex-Marines in this story and you will also fall in love with them.  I can’t wait for their stories too.  I think one of my favorite characters was Sway..... OMG – wait until you meet him.  I was laughing out loud every time he spoke! HILARIOUS!!!  You will love him!!

Ok, enough of me blabbing about this book.  You’re  wasting time....go, one-click!  You can start reading now!!  Soon you’ll be pimping this story too!! 

Here are a few of my favorite quotes! 

Going to make you scream princess, and then when you can’t take it anymore,” he pushes his denim covered hips hard into mine, his thick erection rubbing my clit in the most delicious way, “then I’m going to lick my way up this sweet fucking body and finally I’m going make you mine.”

“I love you, Axel Reid. 

I have loved you forever and I will never stop. 

Made for me, baby.  You were made for me.  Don’t ever leave me.  Never again.  I would rather die than be without you again.”
