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.

Obsessed book reviews (49 KP) rated Only Pleasure: Part 2 in Books
May 7, 2019
this book continues from the first one and can not be read as a stand alone read. This is another fab sexy, sensual, erotic, steamy read from this author. This book is very realistic but can be heart breaking in places. I cant wait for book 3 to be released I really need to know what happens next with these characters. The character have such an intense chemistry that just leaps of the page at you as you read.
Highly recommended

May 7, 2019
This is the first book by this author that I've read and it definitely won't be the last. This is a very erotic short read. The story in this book sets the scene for the series. You get an introduction to the characters and a sneak peek at their story. This book will leave you wanting and needing more from the characters and this series. I cant to read more from this series and from this author in the future.
Highly recommended start to this series

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Talking In Your Sleep... (Harlequin Blaze #365) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
So I received this book because I thought it the idea behind it was interesting. I mean the girl voices her sex dreams about her neighbor in her her sleep, and he can hear all of it. I actually thought this would be a great erotic novel.
Alas, I was bored to tears. The characters were obnoxious and everything that could remotely be considered interesting happened within the first 50 pages. After a certain point, I literally could not force myself to read on. I skimmed the rest of the book and realized that nothing interesting happens. No loss.

Disappointing.
I read this on holiday, was intrigued by the plot and was expecting it to be tense, erotic, shocking and thrilling, yet I found none of it. After finishing the book, I put it down and it was a 'is that it?' moment, I couldn't quite believe I'd read the whole thing, it hadn't seemed go anywhere exciting.
The book itself is well written and the characters are interesting, and individually make for a good story, but merge them all into one and you get nothing too exciting.
The book's been done before, that's all I can say.

Power Play
Disclosure- is a good erotic thriller. Micheal Douglas, Demi Moore and Donald Sutherland are all good.
The plot: In this Michael Crichton adaptation, Tom Sanders (Michael Douglas) is a senior executive at a cutting-edge technology corporation on the verge of releasing an innovative new product. Sanders' boss, Bob Galvin (Donald Sutherland), is putting the final touches on a potentially lucrative merger and everything is in order for Tom until a vamp from his past, Meredith Johnson (Demi Moore), swoops in, stealing his impending promotion and then -- doubling down -- suing him for sexual harassment.
Like i said its good.

ArecRain (8 KP) rated Corralled (Blacktop Cowboys, #1) in Books
Jan 18, 2018
Cowboy rodeo erotica? You have my interest. From the moment I saw this book on goodreads bookswap, I could not wait to read it. I love me some erotica. Add some cowboys in the mix and I am happy as a clam. Until I read it.
Because I dont really have much to say about this book, here goes.
The good: the erotic scenes, the character development, the dialogue,
the writing
The bad: the plot (which bored me senseless), the favoritism
The ugly: the situation
While there is nothing actually wrong with the novel, I just could not get into it. James has a great easy style to read. The erotic scenes were great, some of the best I have read, especially when dealing with such an awkward situation. And oh was it awkward. The dialogue was realistic and had me not only laughing, but cringing as well. The characters and the emotions were also very believable. I found myself becoming attached to them
The plot seemed a little lackluster, however. I will gave James points for having one of the few erotic novels with a well developed plot in the first place. As I said before, however, it was just not a story I was interested in. It was clear from the beginning who the lead female was going to end up with. I dont think James did it on purpose, but her clear favoritism for one man over the other was apparent from the beginning.
This was not an easy book to read in the first place due to the circumstances of the love triangle. All of the ménage a trios novels I have read before, the couples were into it as a threesome. In this novel, two men are vying the attention and love of one woman. It was awkward at best, especially since the men were childhood friends.

I was not expecting this omnibus to be as great as it was. When I requested it, I thought it was just going to be another run of the mill erotic novel. And while there really wasnt anything special about it, I still love it more than I should.
First, I loved the complication of the characters. They each have their story, their dirty little secrets, and what makes them tick. There was nothing glamorous or fairytale like to this story. It showed the ugly side of the relationships along with the good, which was usually the sex. The erotic scenes were pretty spicy, but nothing fantastic. I was reading it more for the story than the erotic factor.
The first story has to do with Lucky and Colin. Lucky has her own inner demons and a past that has messed with her perception of men. Colin is a psychologist who seem to cant turn it off when interacting with Lucky who doesnt want him digging in her brain. It was interesting to see how their relationship developed and how they dealt with each others faults.
The second story concerns Luckys co-worker and friends Renae and Colins best friend Will. Will thinks Renae is a lesbian which is was initially stopped him from chasing her tail. Currently, he is courting someone else, but when Renae makes the first move, Will is certainly not passing up the chance. Will and Renaes relationship is less complicated than Colin and Luckys, but that still doesnt mean they dont have their issues to work through.
This novel was so realistic to me in terms of relationships, the troubles that come with them, and how the couple works through them. It was something refreshingly new, especially since, while they didnt get the happy endings we normal expect from such novels, everything still worked out in the end.
