Taste of Honey (Taste of Honey Series) by Julie Castle – Review by Robin Rankin

Taste of HoneyTaste of Honey by Julie Castle

Taste of Honey

I had an expectation after reading the synopsis of each story and my expectations were met with each of the stories.

There were parts of Penelope and Vlad’s stories I liked, but of the three it was the one I felt was missing something. While enjoyable it was my least favorite.

Courtney and Dragon’s story had lots of hot moments and some danger thrown in. The chemistry the author was trying to create come through loud and clear. There is one scene in the second half that was probably one of the best I have read in a while.

Laura and Nick’s story definitely had a Pretty Woman vibe which I’m assuming was intentional. I was hooked on this particular story before I finished chapter 1.

Each of these ladies is sassy, strong and independent. They each let go of their inhibitions after a short time. Dom/sub relationships are based on trust of one another. While that trust wasn’t there in the beginning it was built and further strengthened the bond between each of the couples.

Hot and heavy love scenes are not for pearl clutches, but I think the average woman will enjoy them.

I’m not new to bdsm. But I’m definitely new to Julie Castle. She is now my favorite erotica author. I like that this book is a 3 for 1. 3 short stories in 1. I highly recommend Taste of honey. I promise you won’t regret reading this series.

Wild King (King Brothers Book 2)Wild King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great read. It is an emotional roller coaster. As a reader, you will feel every emotion of the characters. It is such a well written book. It is the second book in the series and it does have a over lapping of characters. I find that I love books that bring the characters of other books back into them or that is how we get introduced to the new characters for future books. You don’t necessarily have to read the first book before this one but you will want to. This book has every emotion you can think of: angst, suspense, drama, love, sadness, and steam. There is a balance between all the emotions that you will experience but you WILL experience them all as you read this. This book was a quick read for me because I found myself not being able to put it down. This book kept me turning pages to continue on. It allowed me to build relationships (in my head) with the characters. I wanted to be friends with all of them. You will not be disappointed while reading this book and it will leave you craving for more.

Where do I find this door. I was drawn in right from the start. I thought the writing was good. The research done was quite good. The characters are fascinating. I can’t wait to read the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really nice second chance romance for the YA set. Life falls apart and you get all the teen angst and everything that goes with it. I came away feeling that it gave a pretty realist little view of teen romance. It had you feeling all the motions. It was pretty easy to become engaged with the story. The writing was good and the characters were very well developed.

It was like falling through the rabbit hole. Nothing was the way that she’d expected it on the other side of the doorway. The advanced society that she’d hoped for no longer existed and a medieval society that fought with sword and staff was in its place. To make matters worse, she was stuck here with no way home.

When she’s not out hunting rogue vampires and werewolves, you can find Crystal Dawn out exploring the galaxy. She can do it all without ever leaving her computer. She kicks ass, takes names, and puts it all down for the enjoyment of her readers. At least that’s what I think she told me. Writing came as a natural outlet for her overly creative mind. She has always told stories and even written some but publishing books didn’t start until 2012 with The Rebirth, was the first of the Planet Amazon books. Crystal has also been lucky to have some wonderful beta readers who keep her on track and help inspire her.

Secretly, she crushes on all her sexy heroes because all her stories end happily. That is one of the things that makes writing such a joy. Knowing that it makes her reader’s day a little brighter. Not that she doesn’t read sad books sometimes. While still in school, she read Where the Red Fern Grows and cried like a baby. It was a wonderful book and sometimes a bit of sadness has to be put in books because that’s part of life. While she reads all kinds of books at some time or another, PNR and SFR, which she writes is what she reads the most for pleasure.

When she started writing, she decided on going Indie after the first two books because an author has more control. She believes Indie will compete well and continues to grow. The need to give pleasure to her readers keeps her going and she sees a long career ahead. Growing up mostly in the NW Arkansas area, it has given her a good place to set some stories and many of her characters come from there or nearby SW Missouri.

The start of her stories is the easy part. Finishing them is a little harder when all the stories are in there trying to get out. She loves reading, chocolate, fine sweet wine, and traveling among a large list of pursuits. Her favorite people, after her family and close friends, are her readers who she says are some of the most wonderful people in this galaxy and the next.

Falling for a Star in the City (Stars in the City Series Book #2) by Krysten Lindsay Hager – Review by Angela Hayes

Falling for a Star in the City (Stars in the City #2)Falling for a Star in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

3.5 Stars

 

Falling For a Star in the City is the second book in the Stars in the City Series by Krysten Lindsay Hager. It is a contemporary YA romance – with all the (teen) drama, angst, tension, and emotion you might need to keep flipping the pages.
It is also a little bit of a journey of discovery too, as Paige grapples with (re) finding and re-defining herself after her ‘perfect’ life’ crumbles before her eyes. Having to reevaluate and pick up and ‘start’ over again brings its own challenges. With fate providing a new love interest- even while her first love seems to want to rekindle their relationship. What’s a girl to do?
It also takes a look at dealing with fame, finding new purpose, and realizing what’s really important. The story also has some sweet moments that even my old, jaded heart, flutter for a beat or two.
If you love YA romance, sports romance (hockey), a love triangle(ish) vibe, angst, emotion, and sweet scenes- then you will definitely want to grab a copy of this to read.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Krysten Lindsay Hager!

The series explores themes of love,and personal growth through engaging storytelling and intricate plots. I can Not wait to read more from the author🥰

Wild King (King Brothers Series) by K.M. Scott – Review by M Policicchio

Wild King (King Brothers Book 2)Wild King by K.M. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t know what is with these King Brothers. They are some stubborn, hard-headed j3rks. I get it. Kellen is so mired in his own grief that he can’t see. But, the way he treats Salem when is doing nothing but trying to help him is sooooo wrong.

So this book picks up about 6, maybe 8, months after the end of the Cruel King. Kellen is trying to be someone he is not. His brothers are growing frustrated and weary. Kellen takes off for a long weekend. On his weekend vacation, Kellen meets a mystery woman. He is immediately taken with her but she wants to remain anonymous. What started as an ONS becomes a supposed weekend of passion and fun. When Kellen receives a phone call from his brother demanding he return to NYC or the brother is going to cut him off and fire him, Kellen does something so phenomenally stupid that children 30 years from now will be saying, “Don’t pull a Kellen!”

When Kellen returns to the city his problems explode and his brothers demand that a fixer is hired to assist Kellen with his issue. When his fixer walks through the door, it is Kellen’s mystery lady. Now because of the couple of days they spent together, the fixer has to take a different approach with Kellen. Kellen, at least, knows her name now, Salem. Kellen angrily rebuffs all of Salem’s efforts to assist with his problems. Kellen yells, screams, stomps, kicks, calls names, and tantrums like a 2-year-old, but doesn’t get his way. Salem will remain his fixer.

As one can imagine, things heat up. Salem tries to do her job. Kellen blocks her path whenever possible. Then, Kellen tries a different tactic and actually talks to Salem. A friendship develops. When an emergency strikes in unusual circumstances, Kellen and Salem have to learn to work together. This opens a whole new avenue in their relationship.

This is an emotional read. This a fast read for the number of pages. This is another fantastic read in the series. This read a little spice, some LOL moments, some cry your eyes out moments, and much more. Jump in now before you are too many brothers behind!! 😁

Taste of HoneyTaste of Honey by Julie Castle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is a three in one! It has- The Gift, The Commander’s Club, and Once in Love. Each one is it’s own short romance erotica that are all super steamy, dom/sub, and bdsm stories. You start off with The Gift, which is a librarian secret admirer fantasy. Penny is a librarian who started getting gifts left for her at work. They are scandalous and left with them are notes that shock her, but at the same time turns her on. After receiving an invitation to meet at a hotel she can’t help but go to find out who this naughty man is. She’s both excited and shocked when she finds out who’s behind her reddened skin. She finds out submission can be fun and powerful!
Next comes The Commander’s Club, a book about Courtney who is a journalist undercover. But her cover isn’t as good as she thought and she’s thrown into the deep end of a huge FBI investigation into a BDSM club. Ty is working as a slave trainer and scoops her up to keep her protected. With her ID in question he starts her training quickly. Courtney is to feisty for her own good and learns quickly that, that can be a bad thing for a sub/dom club. Can Ty protect her and get her out before anyone finds out who she really is? Will she get her story or become one!
The last story in the book is Once In Love, which is about Laura who is in trouble. She’s been accused of stealing, fired from her job, interrogated by the police, and then mugged! Without a job and her stuff she is stranded in Paris. When she’s offered a temp position as a courtesan she’s intrigued by the idea. She reads a lot of Erotica and she can’t help but be tempted. But once her Dom find’s out who she is and that she has to fake it, she’s certain he will dump her to the side for someone else. Nick has been battered by an ex-wife and he’s turning into a workaholic. His sister talks him into going to the courtesan auction, but he’s already decided not to bid. He has more important things. When he spots a redhead on the catwalk he sees not only her innocence, but also her lust. Abruptly leaving he can’t imagine her ending up with a hurtful dom. He out bids everyone and has her sent to his summer vacation spot. Throwing her into a submission course is not only fun, but healing. Can he fall for someone else? Can he ever trust anyone? Laura has big plans for when she finally can afford to leave Paris. She wants to make her art and have a studio. Can she put aside her plans and imagine another future?
Such a great set of stories. All very steamy and hot hot hot. If you are not into BDSM books these are not for you. But if you don’t mind any of the stuff that comes with a Sub/Dom relationship, then grab this one! You won’t be disappointed!!

This is the second book in the series. This author really knows how to world build. Sometimes when an author weaves a story that is so unique, you kind of get lost as to what is going on. That is not true here. Nicole E Kelleher is a fantastic story teller and is amazing at getting you invested with the details of her story and her world. I loved the romance, the banter and the twists. There’s nothing like a good paranormal book in my opinion and this fits that totally!

Taste of HoneyTaste of Honey by Julie Castle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Taste of Honey includes three stories all containing adult content and are very spicy reads, definitely not intended for a younger reader, so be forewarned. I loved that each story is a short read, but the storyline is so in-depth that you don’t even realize you’ve already gotten to the end until you’re there. It is so encapsulating, and what a great ride they each take you on, leading you through the dark world of adult content where most do not normally go except in a book. The characters are all very different in each of these stories, yet they all have a similar theme of trying new things that they never saw themselves trying out, but that appeal to their deeper desires than they ever thought possible. I love that the steam factor in each of these stories is just the right mix with the storyline, making it important but not all-encompassing, allowing the reader to enjoy each character’s build-up and background stories. This is a great book to read if you’re in the mood for some saucy romance with great plots to go along with them.

Having read the first book in the series, I was excited to see what this one had in store. I loved the chemistry between the characters, which was evident right from the word go. They had a clear connection that was believable, even if they tried to deny it was more than it was.
The way the story developed was so exciting. The author really seemed to expand on the storyline she created in the first book and pulled me into it all so much deeper. I was drawn into the story and felt like I went on the journey with the characters. This is a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend.

The Author continues to describe and build the world of Aurelia with such colour and clarity that you feel as if you are there. The characters continue to grow and their relationships blossom. Claire continues to hide her heart but Trian starts to share how he sees the world and Claire shares her healing ability they continue to learn from each other, but as always there is danger and they are separated. It is a long and arduous battle to get back to those she loves.<br />This is certainly one of these books that you cannot put down, Love, hope, heartbreak, despair, mix these with fantasy romance and you have an amazing book.<br /><br />

Taste of Honey (Taste of Honey Series) by Julie Castle – Review by Deborah Joseph

Taste of HoneyTaste of Honey by Julie Castle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Gift: When I first started this book I was intrigued. The whole secret admirer and setting up for what could have been a good story. Now though, after reading it, I am not sure how I feel about this one. I love a good BDSM book, but I like it to be realistic in certain aspects. I understand it is just fiction, but one of the big important parts of BDSM is that the sub gives that power over to the dom, it is not taken or forced on them, and that is how their interactions were once they met face to face. The FMC didn’t have a clue about BDSM whereas the MMC did, and instead of communicating with her about it, slowly teaching her and confirming she was ok with it each step, so on so forth, he went straight to “I am your master you are my slave” and did what he wanted with her. There is no real story or plot, just a bunch of random things tossed in between spicy scenes.

The Commanders Club: This started off as a reporter going undercover to start sub-training. She did all this to try and save her co-worker, Laura, who she thinks got kidnapped. Even though Courtney had done research, signed a contract, and knew what she was getting into she still fought the sub-training, and not in a bratty way. After finding out her co-worker was safe she had to stay and continue to be trained. Even though she was turned on she still fought the training, even though that was the only thing that could save her. This one has more of a story than there was for the first.

Once in Love: There was an attraction between the MFC and MMC right away. She wanted him to buy her at the auction and had high hopes for him… in bed. When he left she was disappointed but was shocked when she found out someone bought her. They enter into a BDSM relationship that was supposed only to last the summer, but they end up breaking all their limits/self-protective rules. One thing I liked is how patient he was with her and helped her learn new things. She also didn’t fight it, she signed up for all of this and played the part very nicely.

Altogether it depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a plot/story then this wouldn’t be for you but if you are just looking for pure smut then this would be perfect!

Wild King is the second book in the King Brothers series by K.M. Scott. This series got off to a intriguing start with ‘Cruel King’ (Book #1)- so I was excited to see this second instalment had been released and jumped right in. It is a sizzling enemies-to-lovers/billionaire romance that kept me captive till the very end.
The series follows the King brothers, with each brother getting their own instalment. This time it is Kellan’s turn. He has a real bad-boy reputation, which he has well-and-truly earned. But after a wild weekend with an unforgettable, but anonymous hook-up- Kennan returns to the family business- but soon finds that his older brother has plans involving a ‘specialist’ to clean-up Kellan’s act & overhaul his reputation. Fate throws a curve ball when the ‘specialist’ turns out to be his island fling. Well, now things are about to get very interesting, if not a little wild, and steamy.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, K.M. Scott!

Wild King is the second book in the King Brothers series and what an addition it was. A second chance, enemies to lovers, well written romance. I enjoyed this one as much as book number one. We are introduced to another King brother, Kellen. After a hot, wild, weekend with no names exchanged he ups and leaves when he is called back to work to deal with an issue. He seems to be just as surly as Matthias, who in fact hires Salem, and has apparently built up a bad reputation which our FMC, Salem, is hoping to fix. Will her tough girl, no holds barred personality make a difference to Kellen’s bad boy reputation? Well read on and see. Looking forward to the next King brothers book.

Another well done Sci fi romance to add to your library!
Moira is concerned when her free spirited twin sister yet again falls off the radar while in the mountain town of Allenville but Moira has a gut feeling this time feels different so she heads there to find her.
On her arrival this town looks like a normal small mountain town but something feels different and she can’t put her finger on it. She meets the police chief Seth who she also finds gorgeous but evasive and she knows he’s hiding something, but their chemistry is undeniable.
She continues searching while Seth is keeping a secret and protecting two sides of very different species and trying to keep the peace. As secrets unfold and mutilated bodies show up what will Moira find and can her interest and easy friendship with Seth survive as she learns the truth. Will she find her sister or was she too late? And what on earth (or perhaps not of earth!) Is going on in this town.
The multi pov of this story really gives it depth and I encourage any Sci fi lover to check this one out!

Blood and Ravens by A.D. Brazeau is book one to The Casket Girls series. I honestly believe this is one of the best paranormal stories I have read in a long time and absolutely loved essentially everything about it. All the characters were all well-developed. I particularly loved Greer and Theron and their forbidden love as Theron is trying to please Hades but cannot help what he is feeling for his “little rabbit”. Plenty of other paranormal aspects add lots of depth to this story. The gothic setting also gave me a certain aesthetic that I can never get enough of. The author’s writing was exceptional and kept me engaged and the pages turning from beginning to end. I was overtaken by intrigue from the very first page, and it didn’t stop even after the story ended. I am definitely hoping for more to come!

This captivating book intricately blends an enemies-to-lovers and second-chance romance, weaving together a tapestry of intense drama, raw emotions, passionate romance, profound regrets, and powerful life-altering mistakes. The enigmatic main character, Kellen, is a captivating wild bad boy who fearlessly lives life on the edge, but a fateful encounter with a special someone forces him to reassess his past actions and contemplate his future. The narrative is so immersive that I’m eagerly looking forward to delving into more of KM’s books.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blood and Ravens: this was a really unique book. I loved the little bit of history behind the casket girls and was definitely a new viewpoint (for me at least!) on a vampire storyline. The characters were well written, good story line, a few twists that I didn’t see coming, and a HEA that didn’t feel cheesy. Set up nicely for a sequel without a huge cliffhanger, which I love. Will definitely check out the next one.

Blood & Ravens (The Casket Girls Book 1) by A.D. Brazeau – Review by Jennifer Reimer

Blood and Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance (The Casket Girls)Blood and Ravens: A dark, paranormal romance by A.D. Brazeau
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is different from what I normally read, I usually just go for the paranormal but thought to switch it up a bit and I couldn’t be happier in doing so. This book was incredible. The story and conflicts and just everything in it kept me on my seat and wanting to read it more. This book really took on a classic and made it into a new way to look at the paranormal. The story flowed so well together that it never made me feel lost and had to turn back again. I really enjoyed the characters but especially Greer she is strong and could sense things and see things that no one else could. I really can’t wait to know if there will be more to this story and what more it could offer.

Falling for a Star in the City (Stars in the City #2)Falling for a Star in the City by Krysten Lindsay Hager
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Falling for a star in the city is the first book that i have read by this author. falling for a star in the city is book two in the stars in the series but i have not read book one but i was still able to follow along just fine. Since i really enjoyed book one i would suggest if you start with book one. This was a wonderful young adult hockey romance. I really enjoyed the setting and following Paige’s character i really enjoyed reading about her and Viktors love and life’s adventures. I’m a romance fan i read a lot of it and this hockey romance i would put at the top of my list. So if you think this is your cup of tea i highly suggest you add this to your TBR list. Thank you to this wonderful author for writing this wonderful read i look forward to reading more books by you.
