Playing with the Gods is a sexy story of hot fantasy and hunky gods. Immediately, I was drawn into Ms. Tanner’s story and the world she created for Amaryllis. The characters are unabashed by their needs, and the writing is flirty fun. Playing with the Gods is the kind of book that is perfect for a quick escape from reality. Kudos to Ms. Tanner for creating a enticing tale.
Dangerous Games
BRR RECOMMENDED READ
From the Publisher…
Navy SEAL Clint “Iceman” McIntire didn’t earn his nickname by being a coward. Or a quitter. Having crushed an infamous drug cartel in Colombia, Clint was nothing short of an American hero. Now he’s home, on a much-needed leave, but instead of some R&R, he finds himself neck-deep in trouble with his best friend’s little sister, Morganna Chavez, the only woman who has the power to bring him to his knees. . .
Morganna has been secretly working with the DEA to uncover a thriving date-rape drug, which leads her to a shadowy faction that is more deadly than anything her team has ever encountered. Now it’s up to Clint to keep this beautiful, determined agent out of harm’s way, even while the passion between them threatens to consume them. Soon Clint’s greatest mission will be not just keeping Morganna safe, but getting her into his arms and never letting go.

Dangerous Games is full of non-stop action, perfectly blended suspense and flaming-hot love scenes that make Ms. Leigh the ultimate goddess of erotic romance. I love the characters, Clint and Morganna, especially the way they interact with one another. They butt heads and get on each other’s nerves quite often but Ms. Leigh makes it perfectly clear in her writing these two are meant to be with each other. The plot was wonderful keeping me on my toes with little twists and turns throughout. It’s very rare for me to read a novel that I never want to end, but Dangerous Games was one of those kinds of novels. A recommended read for any and all looking for a good book to read at the end of a hectic day!

Not a novel to pass up if you like erotica. Ms. Sarai penned a great story and I look forward to reading more of her future works.

Out of Control
In Behind Closed Doors and Standing in the Shadows, Shannon McKenna introduced the McCloud Brothers: intense, rugged, super-sexy, and deliciously sensual. Now, Davy McCloud is about to meet a woman he can’t trust–or live without . . .
Disillusioned P.I Davy McCloud has learned the hard way not to follow blind impulse when it comes to women. He’d rather play it safe, and keep his life simple, calm and uncomplicated. But he’s prepared to make an exception when Margot Vetter shows up to teach at the gym next door. The luscious, mysterious woman stirs a hunger he hasn’t felt in a long time, as well as a fierce protectiveness he can’t quite explain, expecially when her background check reveals she’s hiding secrets–secrets of the ugly, deadly kind.
Margot is at the end of her rope. It’s bad enough that she’s broke and on the run, framed for a murder she didn’t commit. Now, she’s being terrorized by a malevolent stalker. The only person she dares to turn to is buff, scarily gorgeous Davy McCloud, a man who seems like nothing on earth could intimidate him. But Davy has questions of his own, and the closer she gets to him, the more Margot discovers that she can’t hold herself back from this enigmatic, sensual man in any way.
Neither of them expected passion to flare this quickly–or to drag them into a danger as real as their love. Margot’s past has finally caught up with her. And for Davy McCloud, life is about to get more than complicated . . .
It’s turning deadly . . .

Jimmy has several clients scheduled for his “deluxe” services, yet the author conveys to the reader in each encounter that it’s more than just sex. For Jimmy it’s a learning experience and for the women, it’s needs being fulfilled. I wasn’t sure how this plot would work but the author handled it beautifully. A recommended read!

In an effort to help pay for her father’s doctor bills, she enters a televised racing contest where she’s pushed to the limit in more ways than one.
