I cannot recommend this book highly enough!
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I copy from a recent review I wrote: The thing I love most about reviewing is finding brand spanking new authors. Finding those new authors who smash it out the park with their first book is just the icing on the cake! This is such a book!

The thing I loved most about this book, was that for a long time, I mean a REALLY long time, I couldn't see how the curse would be broken! It's not until it revealed in the book, that all the clues and bits and pieces slot together to form a solution to the puzzle that was there all along, and I just couldn't see it.

I loved that, very quickly, Teizel realizes that Esme is someone special, someone who could possibly, maybe break this curse, but he dare not hope. He's had his hopes dashed many times, and another time will truly break him. But Esme pushes all his buttons and then some, and slowly, she creeps under his skin.

Some very interesting twists along the way, and I loved that I didn't see a single bloody one!

Both Tei and Esme get a say and I loved that.

One thing, though, that made me spit my dummy out, throw my toys out the pram and almost, ALMOST throw my kindle in the swimming pool in Malta where I was reading.

It ends in a bit of a cliff hanger and I did NOT see that coming either!

All in all, Ms Laurenti, I'd say, that was a job well done and please, PLEASE hurry with the next book!!

5 full and shiny stars but honestly? I can't recommend this book highly enough!

3 very good shorts
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this box set of three short stories.

I can't write three individual reviews for such short stories, the whole box set is 130 pages, and it took my an hour to read, but I will write a general one, encompassing what I thought about the three tales, which all take place within the BDSM club, Dark Encounters

There is Elizabeth and Ren: She goes to the club open night, but ery nearly walks out without speaking to anyone, but she catches Ren's eye. He doesn't play very often, but felt a need to come to the club this night. Elizabeth is a sub, and Ren, a Dom and their night goes pretty much how you expect it to. Well written, from Elizabeth's point of view only. All three tales are single point of view, actually!

then we have Franco and Trevor: Franco works at the club and has had a crush on Trevor who owns said club, forever. But trevor doesn't play with his staff. A sex carnival gives Trevor the opportunity to finally act on his desire. They start at a Ferris Wheel spanking and things move quickly after that.

And my favourite of the three!

Kameron wants one thing, well TWO really. Theodore and Beck fit all the requirements Kameron has, but will they want him for more than one night? Can he really be the middle of a bear sandwich forever?

Three well written, well delivered but far too SHORT stories, that hit just the spot they need to. I read this in the tub, and thoroughly enjoyed it!

I haven't read anything else by this author, but I would like to now. Something longer, maybe a full length book. Something that shows off what she can do with more words and pages to play with!

4 very good stars
