BOOK TRAILER

His skin was velvety smooth over his rock hard shaft, and he tasted faintly of salt and muskiness. Pure male. I cupped his balls in my free hand and looked up to see him staring down at me with a look in his piercing blue eyes that told me this was exactly what he'd had in mind. Over and over, I swallowed his cock, loving the sound of his moans as I inched him closer and closer to release.

I felt his hands tighten in my hair, sending delicious pain skittering across my scalp. Looking down at me, he licked his lips and grinned. "Slow. I want this to last."

Controlling my pace, he fucked my mouth slowly and methodically, and I licked and sucked every glorious inch of him.

~ REVIEW Andee (The Core, Complete Box Set): College Contemporary New Adult Erotic read Nola Sarina (Author), Emily Faith (Author)

Andee by Nola Sarina
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Andee – normal, simple, rule following girl that wants to change it up. Not to be the “good girl” she’s always been. Working at a coffee shop to pay for her college education to be a dentist, she wants to be noticed; today she longs to be noticed. She dons her electric blue mascara for work, a small rule broken but it brings Alice into her life. Inviting her to a local rave, Alice introduces Andee to a world of sexual awakening.

The Core – Ignite
Ignite, the first book in The Core series is sexy, steamy and completely consuming. Bringing Andee out of her good girl shell, she experiences The Core, as only friends of Alice can. Nola Sarina and Emily Faith have put a different spin on the erotica genre. Taking the “fantasy club” to a place where I haven’t seen it. One girl, one club, lots of possibility.

5 flaming hot stars, this is a great read to add to your erotica collection.

The Core – Shock
“I’ve never looked at the world though the lenses I wear in The Core, and it’s so sexy.”
In book 2 of The Core, Alice brings Andee to the “executive floor” to meet one of the high rollers of the club. Going in blind, Andee is super excited to meet him and get to see what else this place has to offer. Releasing some sexual being inside her The Core is everything she’s ever dreamed of being. Almost anonymous sexual encounters with a man that pampers her before and after, she’s truly becoming more comfortable with her sexual side. Something she’s never been. Another hot, steamy installment in the blooming sexual flower that Andee is becoming.

The Core - Pulse

“I’m not that dull person, here. That person wouldn’t have had a sexual encounter in the shadows below and another in a private room with a rough, tantalizingly apologetic billionaire up here.”
With Alice’s help, Andee explores all facets of her sexual experience. Getting to know Alice a little better, and trusting her implicitly, Andee is taken to the “rooftop”. Alice gives her Tristan. After Christopher dominated her in the last installment, Alice knows that Andee needs to be in control. In this book Andee is in charge, she gets to see what it’s like to dominate someone, tell them exactly what to do to pleasure her. Blown away by the power and the orgasm that comes after, Andee knows that her night is not over yet. She’s ready to go the next adventure.
The Core – Intensify
“She’s open up my mind, freed me from the way I thought I was suppose to behave.”
Diving deeper into the atmosphere of The Core, Andee kicks it up a notch when she’s challenged by another female on the dance floor. Realizing how much she and Alice actually have in common, Andee devises a plan to show Alice and everyone else what a rave is all about. She’s slowly becoming a sexual being that knows what she wants and goes to get it. With the help of 2 very beautiful men and an elevator, Andee accepts Alice for what she is. This story was more about the acceptance of the sexual experience and coming closer to Alice. Hot and sexy, this installment can only lead you to want to know what happens next, for Andee… What will Alice have in store for her, as their night draws to an end? Whew… you need a fan, a wet wash cloth and a partner for these books.

The Core – Release

The final installment of this series is just as powerful as the first. The friendship and trust level Alice and Andee have built in a short time is based on their similarities. Alice seems to think it’s time for Andee to meet the boss, and wants her to become an employee of The Core. Alice came to The Core a strung out junkie and the boss helped her realize that there was more to the high than just the high. It’s the anticipation, the build up to the release that makes the goal so much sweeter. Meeting the boss makes Andee nervous. While he is there to push Andee to the brink, he’s also being pushed by her sexual side. WOW, WOW, WOW, what an ending to this series. Flaming hot to the end, these books are sexy quick reads that leave you panting for more.

~ REVIEW ~ Sky Watcher by Ella Emerson

Sky Watcher (The Sky Watcher Series Book 1)

Sky Watcher by Ella Emerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ella Emerson is a new author to me. She was doing a Facebook take over and I was fortunate enough to receive her work as prize for playing a game. What an intriguing story.

Divorced after years of an unhappy marriage, Allison Singleton faces life alone and feeling older at the ripe old age of 35.

Being set up on blind dates by her sister, she meets lawyer Gavin McDermott. He’s good looking but seems self absorbed. The conversation turns into a job offer at his family’s chicken farm. Having no prospects in the near future, Allison accepts the challenge and moves in with Maggie and Gavin’s younger brother Luke. It is here that Allison finds something she’s been longing for all of her life. Now if she can just let go of her insecurities to fall in love, maybe she will finally be happy, her dream in life.

Weaving a tell about losing oneself to a “convenient” marriage and finding your way back to romance, Ms. Emerson keeps you longing to find out what will happen in the future. Well written to captivate the read, it’s a romance story that sets itself apart from the normal romance. With the twist and turns, the steamy sex scenes and the cliffhanger ending, I can’t wait to see what comes in the next installment.

COVER REVEAL DOM WARS FINAL ROUND

Dom Wars The Final Round by Lucian Bane & Aden Lowe

Release Date August 13, 2014

BDSM Erotic Romance

Synopsis:

*RECOMMENDED FOR AGES EIGHTEEN AND UP DUE TO EXPLICIT SEXUAL SITUATIONS, AND STRONG LANGUAGE When Gladiator Inc, an adult toy company expands their market to familiarize the ‘vanilla’ world with the elements of BDSM, the result is a pay-per-view reality show with video feeds streamed live to subscribers. The show, Dom Wars, is a competition to determine the Top Dom that will become the spokesperson for the company. The contestants all wear cameras to film every moment and angle of the competition, while they complete various challenges to determine who has ultimately Dominated various elements of themselves. The hero and heroine of the series, Lucian Bane and Tara Reese, have barely made it into the Sixth and Final Round of Dom Wars. This week-long Survival Round will determine the Top Dom, once and for all. The contestants are taken to an uninhabited island, where they will have to cross formidable jungle terrain. First Dom to reach the boat anchored on the other side of the island wins the million dollars and the title. Seems simple. Except Lucian’s old adversary, the Sadist Jase Duff from Round One, has been tasked with making sure none of the five teams make it to the boat. If he is successful, he wins the prize, only it's not money that Jase Duff cares about, its revenge on Lucian and Tara. And his sadistic need to inflict pain makes it game on.

About the Authors:

Lucian Bane:
My name is Lucian Bane, and I'm an Ineffable Dom. That just means, do yourself a favor and please don't try to fit me into categories. Complicated Dom, Intricate Dom, or Confounding Dom work too. I don't want a woman I can break, or overpower, or exercise my dominance over. I want a woman I can come undone with. I want a woman I can lose myself in. I think there are many men like myself, and I hope my writing will be a map for them. (And women, to let them know Doms like this exist.) I want to challenge men to go for the complete power exchange with a woman, but don't be a coward and not give the same that they demand or expect. Consider that when you give one hundred percent of yourself to a person, there is no more of you to give away. You now belong to them the way they belong to you. Inner Doms need a master to train them. I once bowed to my Dom's reckless and tireless desires, but when I gained control, he bowed to my will. The transformation made me into what I am today. What many would call an Ineffable Dom. But its equal term in the Vanilla world, in my opinion, is a real man.
Aden Lowe:
As an English major in college, I took a summer job as a proofreader for a small town newspaper, and got hooked on editing. I also worked my way through college training horses. After graduation, I landed a job for a small independent editing firm, and stayed there for 15 yrs. An old friend, Lucian, approached me to edit his special fiction project, and I got hooked. After an insane few months editing his Dom Wars series for him, Lucian convinced me I should try my hand at writing as well. I’m his co-author for Round Six, the final Dom Wars installment, and we will co-write the White Knight Academy series as well. And in Sept 2014, I’ll release my debut solo work, an Erotic Western with BDSM elements, “Big Game: A Hunted Love Novella”. In addition, I have a military series in the planning stages.
