If you love Hawke and Charlotte in book one, you are going to love Caine and Emery in book two. The backdrop of the book is corruption at a high level. Caine reaches out to his long time friend Hawke for help when he has to run from Washington DC.
Caine is wanted for murder and Emery is left penniless when her father is sent to jail. The trouble these two find themselves in is linked together unbeknownst to them. They meet at Syn Hawke’s BDSM nightclub. Sparks fly when these two are together.
I loved that author Anise Storm kept the characters from the first book in the second book with more than a passing reference. If you haven’t yet read this series. I highly recommend them.

This book contains 2 stories and both if them are steamy romances. The author does an amazing job at bringing the chemistry and passion between the couples alive through these pages.
The first book is about a young woman who had her heart broken by her ex. Trying to rediscover who she is, she acts on her attraction to her best friends dad. She has been attracted to him for years and now she wants to see if the reality matches her dreams. The chemistry and attraction between them is very hot and the passion makes for a very steamy encounter.
The second story is about a couple who had a night together at prom. The next day Sarah left. Years later after an abusive relationship Alex decides he’s going to find his first love. This story is different from the first story because both Sarah and Alex even though their feelings for each other are the same both are scared they will be rejected by the other. So their passion is slower to build but just as special and magical when it happens.

Very steamy book. It shows how a women with no confidence gains it after her ex Crushed her self esteem. Cassandra can’t shake what he said in the past to her she wasn’t a wild girl and prefer the quiet snuggle life. Her Dad’s best mate David the chemistry is there and hot.
The second hot and steamy book. Had Alex and Sarah and I was hooked from the frist chapter it was bit out down until the end of the story. Which is a more romantic journey.

Mountford – Review by Piper Foster
Two hot stories in one box set! Romancing the Tropics by L.M. Mount Ford has all the lust, sex, love appeal that has you wanting more! For instance the first story, Tequila Sunset about unyielding lust after something you know you can’t have. Cassandra has lusted after her best friend Stacey’s father David for as long as she can remember. David looks out the window noticing Cass in a barely there white bikini, has him abandoning his writer’s block to take a trip to the pool. Both knowing they shouldn’t succumb to their lust for one another can’t hold back. It’s so hot that it has you wanting more, wanting more scenes of what they are doing. Wanting a continuation of their story. The second story, Beneath the Sheets is reuniting with your first and only love. Sarah abandoned Alex after their night together after prom. Fives years and an email later, Alex finds himself in Australia reuniting with the one who got away. Not as hot and dirty as Tequila Sunset, the passionate love they make has one lust after a love like that!

Caine is book two in the Men of Syn series by Anise Storm. Dangerous, delicious and dastardly are just a couple descriptive words to convey just a tad of what this book captured. Anise Storm is a masterclass storyteller and her words draw you in and captivate endlessly. Caine, all round bad guy, and Emery, the princess, make a very intriguing couple. Their path was paved in passionate and powerful clashes. Both have battles to fight, and as they learn more of one another, their feelings blossom into ever after together. I hung off every word and the fast paced story kept me breathless and hungry for more. Caine has left a lasting and heartfelt memory, and left me feeling ready for the next drama. 5 stars.

Caine is the second book in The Men of Syn Series by Anise Storm. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this book ever since devouring ‘Hawke’ (Book One). So, to say I had high expectations would be a bit of an understatement. Caine is on the run and is offered sanctuary at his friend Hawke’s BDSM club, SYN. (We met Hawke back in book one and got to see some of the inner workings of Syn back there). Being wanted for murder means he needs to keep his head down and keep a low profile until he can clear his name. But things take an unexpected turn when he encounters Emery. Emery’s life was turned upside down in an instant. He ‘perfect’ world destroyed when her father is implicated in a scandal. Her life as a rich, spoiled society princess crumbles and she falls from her throne- all the trappings of her former life are gone, and she’s completely broke. Emery is determined to find a way to clear her father’s name and regain everything they lost. Then she meets Caine who brings his own complications to the mix. Get set for one heck of a hot and steamy ride here. Add in more than a few secrets that threated to destroy everything as well as bringing danger and intensity into the already combustible mix. This has taken my ‘Men of SYN’ addiction and amped it up to a whole new level! Can’t wait to get my hands on Book #3!!!

Romancing the Tropics: A Holiday Romance Boxset (A Tropical Cocktail Romance) is a two book box set by L.M Mountford. The two novellas that make up this boxset are: ‘Tequila Sunset’– an older man/younger woman story set in Gibraltar. It is hot and steamy, with a ‘taboo’ element in the form of the ‘best friend’s father’. As expected from L.M, it is full of sexy details that will keep you avidly reading from start to finish.
‘Beneath the Sheets’– a friends to lovers story set in Sydney Australia, where the characters share a past history and reunite after a long period of time. Get set for plenty of chemistry and sizzle…
This is a very quick, easy and fast paced read. There are a LOT of steamy scenes which make for ‘HOT’ reading.

Mountford – Review by Angela Hayes
Caine by Anise Storm is the 2nd book in the Men of Syn series. In this installment, we follow the story of Caine, who has run to Denver to escape false accusations of the murder of his father. Here is turns to his friend Hawke, who helps Caine by offering employment in Syn, the BDSM club. This is where Caine meets Emery Wilder, a socialite living off her fathers wealth who’s never worked a day in her life. Emery is taken by surprise when she is removed from her penthouse home due to her father’s criminal accusations that freeze his assets. Emery is left with only some clothing and her car, which breaks down late at night in the middle of no where. Caine comes in as her savior this night and they grow a relationship that is steamy and unique. I enjoyed this book better then the first one mainly because of the characters. Emery at first is a spoiled girl but she grows into the situation that she found herself in. She wasn’t down on herself the entire story and I appreciate a character with growth. Caine is a protector and his love for Emery shines through. Great series by Anise Storm.

If I wasn’t already a lustful person, this little holiday romance boxset really would have set those wheels in motion! I decided to pick up these stories one night when my partner was stuck at work overnight, hoping it would give me something very exciting to fall asleep to, and boy, was I right.
Tequila Sunset is a quirky little quick read, that is definitely a must read for those out there that have a thing for ‘silver foxes’ and attaining the unattainable. As someone that has always felt average, I could relate to Cass’s character, as well as having her little sex kitten side well hidden behind her normal persona. It was quick, sexy, and had some kinky thoughts running through my mind. It left me flustered, flushed, and very turned on.
Beneath the Sheets is a second chance romance quickie, where our main character Alex is travelling to visit his estranged best friend, Sarah Snow. His life had become complicated back home, and the exchange of emails led to him making the quick decision to fly to visit her. After not seeing her for so long, he finds that all those feelings he had before hadn’t gone away, in fact, they’d grown stronger, and he knew that they were meant to be. It was a nice change up from the wham bam thank you ma’am of the first story, including a brief background, and some nice build up to the bedroom scene. It gave my heart all the feels, and I found myself congratulating these two sweethearts on their HEA.
Overall, these quick reads were fantastic, and exactly what I was after. L.M Mountford has a special talent for writing these short erotica stories. Well done, consider me impressed. Will be back for more!

Romancing the Tropics: A Holiday Romance Boxset (A Tropical Cocktail Romance) by L.M. Mountford is yet another outstanding book by an author that is firmly on my must read list! Every time I pick up a book by this author I know it is going to be good – so much so that I no longer even bother to read the descriptions I simply start reading. Thanks to that I was very pleasantly surprised to find this book was not just 1 book but 2! Although both short stories I was delighted that we got to read even more. And I honestly don’t think I could pick a favourite out of each of these books as I enjoyed them both so much. I absolutely devoured the collection in one sitting and even went back to read these ones again. They are so steamy that you will definitely find yourself a bit hot under the collar. I loved that both of the stories were different and yet both had my attention in full. I would highly recommend not only these books but this author as well.

Mountford – Review by Jenni Bishop
If you are looking for something short and steamy, a nice quick read, this is the one. There are two sexy reads in one, Tequila Sunset & Beneath the Sheets. The first book Cassie finally lands her best friend’s dad after suffering from a bad recent break up. It does check off the fantasy of being with a younger daddy. The only thing that kind of threw me off was the dialogue between them, at times I thought Cassie was a little too much, but that didn’t distract from the sexiness that was happening with them. In the second book is more on the sweet side to me, yes it is also short and steamy, but this one has friends that have reconnected after being apart for awhile. I’m happy Sarah found what she was looking for, it seems she has always loved Alex, and it looks like Alex may feel the same. I would definitely recommend this book for any romance lover who is looking for a quicky.

Mountford – Review by Carrie Reed
This is the 2nd book in the Men of Syn series. I really love these books. I love the dark gripping side along with the romance which catches you by surprise. The characters are really well written and your opinion of them changes as the book progresses.
Caine is running away from his life in D.C. After his father is found murdered and he becomes prime suspect. He runs to his mate Hawke who gives him somewhere to work and lay low while he tries to solve the murder of his father. While he’s there he meets Emery. Emery is a princess who lives off her daddy. She thinks she’s above people and her attitude stinks. Emery thinks she has her life sorted until her dad is arrested for drug trafficking charges and all his assets frozen. Now Emery is homeless and broke and the person she turns to is Caine. What starts out as a way to distract herself and give her a bed for the night becomes so much more as the couple get to know one another and their relationship grows.
However things aren’t that straight forward and when Caine realises the connection between his fathers murder and Emery’s father’s incarceration they need to work together to solve the cases.
This story is gripping and a real page turner. You want the couple to be together and happy however sometimes the skeletons that are coming out could be to much for the couple to bear.

This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites yet. This is a hot, steamy box set that has a collection of two short stories that are guaranteed to heat up your night. One of the things I love about this author is their attention to details that gave the story a realistic feel. This book is no different. This author brings the steam to a new level with each story. The characters are connectable as well as keep the story engaging. This is an easy, entertaining story that is fast paced which I didn’t put down until the last page. The characters are unique, hot, steamy as they give life to their stories. You don’t want to miss this box set, it is a must read. I highly recommend this book and this author.

I enjoyed this suspenseful romance story. This is the second book in this series which is just as great as the first one if not better. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites by her yet. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the first word. Her characters are unique and steamy. They are connectable and they brought the story to life on each page. They made the story fun and easy to read as well as hard to put down. I enjoyed their growth and chemistry throughout the story. The author’s use of details made their story realistic.This is Caine and Emery’s story. Find out what happens when these two have a chance meeting on a stormy night. You don’t want to miss this one, it is worth the pick up. This is a great story that I really enjoyed which I highly recommend.

Caine (Men of Syn Book 2) by Anise Storm is one book I have wanted to get my hands on after reading the first book Hawke. Anise has written these perfectly imperfect alpha men to give us a sexy, titillating and thrilling read. He is on the run and headed to his friend who owns the BDSM club, SYN to hide out. She has gone from an entitled princess to broke overnight. What ensues is hot, steamy, explosive and downright dirty. Secrets from their past threaten them both and will it be too much and keep them apart? I really enjoyed these two and even in the midst of trouble they are fun and their witty banter will have you smiling. I said it when I read the first book and it is true after I have read this book but I cannot wait for more Men of Syn.

These two books, bring a whole lot of steaminess’ and desire to the page. I should add not just to a singe page, but to multiple! The pages were full of passion, heat, and chemistry, and it brought the hotness to more extremes, and were so good to read in more ways than one!
The first story I got to enjoy, was to me about temptation and dark chocolate. You know you want it, but shouldn’t have it, but you go for a bite anyway. And you do not stop there. You keep going till you devour it all. That was what this one was like. A girl who believes she doesn’t have that appeal to be sexy or desirable. Until she spends time with her friend’s father. I must add the friend is also her best friend? Her friend’s father awakens something in her , and the heat and the passion combine in one making the pages themselves sweat with their own desire and the heat they bring. The story was so good and naughtily in different ways to read, after all don’t we all desire the temptation we shouldn’t want, but yet we do?
The second one brought just as much to the table, but a history of friendship. So I guess to me it was more than just lust and desire, there was old feelings buried that maybe would never surface or maybe just the right about of lust and heat could awaken those feelings? 2 prior best friends, who lost everything they had of a night spent together may get their happy ending after maybe. They end up corresponding years after everything they had blew up in flame, and they meet again after so long. Perhaps there was more than just beneath the sheets till why Sarah left Alex the way she did? the sparks flying when they meet again had me so invested in then, in reality I just wanted them to rip their clothes off and go at it! This one was delightful as it was sexy and steamy!
The author knew how to grasp their readers and take them as if they are bound for a night of sexiness’. That’s what happened here for sure. I was devoured by the heat and passion of these two novels. And like any good steamy event, I was left wanting more, so much more. the author is quite good at setting the scene and delivering the steam from there with all other factors entwined. I really enjoyed these books and I will be sure be reading more by then! I need this level of steaminess’ in my life more often! If you are looking for a read to give you that certain heat and lust…then read these. You will not have any regrets!

Mountford – Review by Lorrene Huisman
Romance is in the air in this two book Holiday Romance boxset that is all about sun, sea and s*x…
Tequila Sunset
To get over her ex, she is getting under her BFF’s Daddy
‘I’m sorry Cassy, but you’re just too boring for me,’
That was the story of Cassandra’s life.
She was always that girl. The curvy plain jane. She was fine with it, right up until her hot bad-boy ex threw it in her face before walking out of her life. Leaving her depressed and reeling, doubting everything about herself and her future…
So her best friend has spirited her away to her family’s Gibraltar Vila for a little fun in the sun, some much-needed girl time, and a whole lot of boys.
There’s just one problem.
David, her best friend’s recently divorced dad also happens to be staying at the villa. And he’s no boy…
He’s all man. A dark and tempting man who is as forbidden and dangerous as a bar of rich dark chocolate. She knows she shouldn’t go there, but when they’re left all alone for the day, with nothing to do but hang out by the pool, what’s a poor girl to do but take a plunge.
Beneath The Sheets

Sarah Snow. His childhood friend, and the uncontested love of his life whom he hasn’t seen since prom night.
And before he could say travel agent, he was boarding the first plane bound for Sydney, Australia with nothing but his passport and an overnight bag.
He’s no idea what he’ll do or say when he finally reunites with the girl that broke his heart but one thing’s for sure…

Mysterious. Wanted. Murderer – Caine Stephens was considered all of those things. On the run, he enlists the help of his best friend, Hawke, who gives him a job to earn some extra money. While he was supposed to keep his head down and focus on trying to clear his name, that plan goes awry when he meets one of Denver’s quintessential society débutantes.
Spoiled. Entitled. Princess – All were words that once described Emery Wilder until her father becomes embroiled in a scandal that leaves her reeling and virtually penniless. There are no more penthouse apartments, designer clothes, or days filled with pampering. Without any of the luxuries she once took for granted, she is left with an uncertain future.
A stormy night brings the unlikely pair together in a way that neither anticipated. Emery is determined to clear her father and regain everything taken from her, while Caine is fighting for his freedom. Despite the risks and secrets, the couple begins to fall in love, but it’s not at all hearts and roses. What happens when the skeletons in his closet collide with those in hers? Is it too late to salvage the one thing they both want more than anything else?

The Inheritance: The Story of an Unlikely Submissive Audio Book by India Kells
This isn’t the first book I’ve had a chance of listening to. India Kells is an amazing author and Antonio Turner is an amazing narrator.
Lani is a web designer and painter. She loves her art and dreams of her own studio. Needing to find a way out of working on anymore designs. The quote I chose for Lani is: “I’m Emilio McKay’s niece. He just died.”
Max was Lani’s uncle’s friend. He’s in charge of Lani’s inheritance. When he falls for her things turn to be the same for her. The quote I chose for Max is: “To be honest I’m not surprised. It’s very much the Emilio McKay that I’ve known.”

I listened to the audiobook version of this one. This good was a great quick listen. I liked the Max character and his quiet strength and the way it was written definitely kept me wanting to know more about him. I have to admit I wasn’t a fan of the character name Lonnie, because in my head that is a guy’s name, but that’s just me. Lonnie herself was a great balance of strong yet amenable. I wanted to know more about the plan the uncle had for her and why he chose this particular set of tasks for her. It was really a great listen and totally recommend this book!

Beckoned: Born of Darkness (Book 1) by R.B. Fields
This is the first book by Fields and I will be waiting for more. Beckoned is an amazing start to a great series. Fields knows how to write and bring the readers back.
Dawn has never felt like she belonged anywhere. She’s a nurse in the ER and sees a lot of things. She is told that her mother didn’t die by the hands of a monster, but she soon learns that’s not true. The quote I chose for Dawn is: “I’m going to sit by the pond. Let me know when I can come in to eat, would you? You do have human food, right?”
Silas is one of the four vampire mates to Dawn. When he finds her on the bridge trying to kill another of his kind he is shocked. He’s the first to bond with her and knows how she enhances his powers. The quote I chose for Silas is: “I heard them, too, in the woods, though they were very far away — farther than I should be able to hear. Something about her is increasing my range and the intensity of my powers, and —”
Kain is the smart one of Dawn’s mates. When he tends to her wounds he finds that he is stronger. He doesn’t want to go too deep as he needs to research. The quote I chose for Kain is: “Not much to tell. I was in the war , which one is irrelevant — they are all the same. I do not remember dying. I do not remember turning. I do know it took me nearly eighty years to find Markula … and those like him.”
Draynor is the second to bond with Dawn. The third of her mates and the one who can feel things. He doesn’t know what to make of her at first. Soon that all changes and he doesn’t want to leave her. The quote I chose for Draynor is: “I guarantee none of them can hear as well as we can. They can’t sense us the way we can sense them. And if Dawn’s with us, she’ll likely dampen their senses as she did ours before we bonded, leaving our powers all the more finely honed. Our best option is —”
Markula is the leader of their hive. The fourth and the last to mate with Dawn. When he does he finds that she may be playing them. He doesn’t trust her and hasn’t from the beginning. The quote I chose for Markula is: “There are no vices for us, no real dangers for addiction. We can’t invite that in, especially when we have no frame of reference for what kind of addiction this might be.”

Wow! This novella zoomed by but wasn’t short on the spice! A great little read for Christmas or anytime of the year whilst you’re lazing in the sun or snuggled with someone special. Highly recommended when you want a well written story but are short on time!
Five-Alarm Christmas: A Novella By Melinda Valentine
This was a quick steamy romantic read that I enjoyed. Finley and Garrett’s chemistry is off the charts. Finley and Garrett thought that the night they met and went back to Garrett’s apartment would be a one night thing. They end up seeing each other at the firehouse at the annual Christmas party where Garrett is playing Santa Claus and Finley is there with her family. To find out if this is going to become more than a one night stand then this is a must read. I wish this book was longer because I didn’t get enough, I want more. I recommend this book even though it was a quick read it was good.
Five Alarm Christmas: A Novella by Melinda Valentine is a short holiday romance that is hot and steamy from first first meeting. This book is all about the characters and the chemistry you can feel between them. This is a pretty quick read as the title would suggest but is a good easy read that will allow you to pass an enjoyable few hours with good writing and great characters. As the first book I have read by this author it was a great introduction to her work and I am looking forward to reading more in the future.
Finley Jones is a lady who wants to escape her family on Christmas Eve and avoid them questioning her about why she hasn’t settled down or given them grandchildren yet, but her brothers aren’t put under the same scrutiny, so she decides to go to a local bar and have a few drinks instead. As she starts on her first beer, she sees a handsome man at the other end of the bar and then she decides that maybe she wouldn’t mind a bit of good looking company after all and it seems that he is in the same mindset as she is.
Garret Scott just wants to relax and unwind after four days on shift at the fire station, that is until he sees an attractive woman at the other end of the bar and maybe being alone isn’t on the cards after all, one thing leads to the other and it turns into a night of passion, but will happen when the next morning dawns, will Santa make their Christmas wishes come true, or will things go the opposite way? This novella is full of naughty and nice, but the only way to find out how much of each is to read on.
This was a brilliant quick romance read that connects you to the characters and storyline from the very beginning. This is a quick read but it isn’t lacking in anything, it captures you and the next thing you know you have finished the read! These characters bring incredible chemistry and have a brilliant connection. This is a brilliant novella read for the Christmas holidays! I highly recommend this read!

This is a cute Christmas romance Novella. The story gripped me from the beginning page until the very last page. The plotline is simple and enjoyable. The characters are fully developed and relatable. The story is about Finley and Garrett. Two people who want to be alone having a drink at a bar noticed each other. It was right then that they decided to have a one night fling to make their night even better. The story is a hot romance one-night stand. That is all it was supposed to be, but something happened unexpectedly. What will happen between Finley and Garrett? Will there be more than one steamy nightstand? I highly recommend this book to find out more.

This is a great hot and steamy short story. For a short story it has a lot of detail and felt like a complete story. The characters were well written and the story enjoyable.
Finley leaves her family home for some. Peace and ends up in a bar. There she meets an handsome stranger and sparks fly.
The attraction is intense between them to deny. When she leaves in the morning she thinks it will be the last time she ever sees him. How wrong she was.
Garrett is the new fireman at her dad’s firehouse. Imagine his shock when he finds out his one night stands is his bosses daughter. She is off limits but Garrett can deny his feelings.
Can they make a relationship work or will it all end up going down in flames.
This was a short Christmas romance with plenty of steamy scenes. Finley Jones and Garrett Scott meet up in Mike’s Tavern on Christmas Eve and spend the night together with Finley leaving before Garrett woke up the next morning. They are both surprised when they arrive at the firehouse to discover that Garrett is a fireman, who Finley has sworn never to date and that Finley is in fact Garrett’s Chief’s daughter, who is totally off limits. Finley and Garrett’s chemistry literally sizzled off the page and they could not keep their hands off each other. Having turned up at the Christmas party ready for Garrett to play Santa Claus and Finley his elf the couple still can’t deny their mutual attraction but neither of them are sure if it’s just a holiday hook up they are interested in or something more. This is a fun, lighthearted and very hot read with two very likeable characters who’s chemistry really came across in the narrative. A perfect short novella with a Christmas feel, just right for some escapism over the festive holidays.
