Merissa (12051 KP) rated Safeword in Books
Dec 17, 2018
In Safeword we are immediately immersed into Carter's life, such as it is. He left home and found (or was found by) Winters. Through his time with him, Carter learns the brutal side of BDSM and that a safeword is just a trick. When he is given to Crow, he thinks that his time is up. When it becomes clear that Crow is different, Carter is determined to enjoy his time as a Sub, knowing that Winters won't be happy that he hasn't been hurt and will hurt him when his time with Crow is over.
This is a short novella, and as such I had to go with the flow on some parts although I definitely wanted more information, such as how did Crow and co know about Carter? Although not insta-love, the connection between Carter and Crow happened a bit too quick for me, as well as the fact that Crow was straight.
Although short, this was well-written and fast-paced, a quick 'naughty' thrill of a read.
* I received this book from Pride Publishing in return for a fair and honest review. *

Merissa (12051 KP) rated All Souls’ Night: A Midnight Doms Anthology in Books
Oct 30, 2020
All Soul's Night is a mixed bag of steam and spice! Every story is linked to the others by the Venetian Masked Ball on All Soul's Night, and some characters have cameos in either the story before or after, which gave it a great feeling of continuity.
Most of the stories are M/F but His Vampire Morsel by Lesli Richardson is MM and Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Arial Burnz is M/M/F. All of them are set in the world of the Midnight Doms so expect plenty of BDSM. Some are more 'hardcore' than others but all of them are HOT!
As with all anthologies, there were some I liked more than others but the two I've already mentioned were my favourites of the lot. Some new-to-me authors that I will definitely be seeking out more titles from.
All in all, a great read and absolutely recommended by me.

Debbiereadsbook (1197 KP) rated 10 Erotic Short Stories Vol.1 in Books
Nov 7, 2021
does what its supposed to!
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.
10 erotic-themed stories including BDSM, cuckold, threesomes and infidelity.
That is what the blurb says, and that is what you get!
These stories are short and steamy and sexy and they all come with a bit of a twist. I didn't see them coming with the first few but after that, I took to seeing what that twist would be and mostly? I was wrong!
The only thing is, I know they were short, it says the book is 60 odd pages and for ten stories in those 60 odd pages, they have got to be short. And for ME, they were just a tad TOO short, you know? I was just getting into the tale, and boom, its done.
I found them steamy enough, without being too over the top. The steam level I would put at 4 out 5.
BUT!
For delivering exactly what it says on the tin, and giving me a delightful, sexy read between 2 much longer, heavier books...
4 stars

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Bound to Please in Books
Jan 18, 2018
While I love Lilli Feisty and everything she writes, I am glad that I read Dare to Surrender before Bound to Please. While there is nothing wrong with Bound to Please, it didn't floor me like Dare to Surrender did.
I thought I was going to have a problem with the age difference, but it was drawn attention to so little that I completely forgot about it. What did get to me was what Mark makes her do with a strawberry. I can't imagine anyone getting pleasure from it.
Moving on. I love Lilli Feisty's erotic scenes. She obviously knows what she is talking about when it comes to BDSM and the like. It makes it that much more believable. However, nothing kills an erotic scene quicker than someone calling the other baby. I hate it more than I hate cheesy pick up lines. I don't know what it is about that endearment, but I feel like it is tainted and trashy.
What really got me about this story, was Mark's love for Ruby. Feisty made him seem so human that it was hard to not feel bad for him while he struggled with keeping his distance. It made him that much more endearing.

Jun 4, 2018
Her Husband's Army Buddy (McLeod Security #1) by Doris O'Connor
Her Husband's Army Buddy is the first book in the McLeod Security series, and we meet the owner of the security business, Zane, and his wife, Sandy. Sandy and Zane have been married for 10 years, and are happy. That is until Sean shows up asking if there are any jobs going at Zane's security business. Sean and Zane have a history, and Sandy is worried that she will get kicked to the curb when they reignite their past together. Instead, it is Sandy who is able to bring the three of them together.
This is a fast-paced book, with plenty of steam. It gives a small introduction into the world of BDSM without going into too much detail. It is fairly low angst, although there is the usual stubbornness involved. It starts off the series well, and with no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, I have no hesitation in recommending it.

Merissa (12051 KP) rated Open Mind (Kink Chronicles #1) in Books
Feb 5, 2020
bdsm, contemporary, grrc, m-m, read, romance
OPEN MIND is the first book in the Kink Chronicles and we meet Jamie and Ronan. Jamie is 28 and has been a travelling nurse for the past couple of years but is now ready to settle down. Ronan has settled down but is in need of a new nurse for his specialised practice!
This story is an interesting mix of being sweet and full of kink! Different kinds of kink so if kink is your thing, there is probably at least one scene in here you will like. As for Jamie and Ronan, I kind of thought they were the perfect pair - once Ronan pulled his head out of his backside! Not every relationship is destined to be monogamous and so long as everyone agrees to that BEFORE anything happens, I'm okay with it.
This was an enjoyable book that moved along at a fair pace. I enjoyed the characters and look forward to reading more in this series.
