Nordic Bound by Christine Edwards @ceerotica

I Wow another breathtaking romance by my only trusted BDSM author. I'm very picky and particular about my romance and especially BDSM. I'll be honest. I absolutely abhor the punishment scenes. Christine balanced it perfectly and for every moment of uncomfortable scene she gave me beauty before and after. I don't like public scenes.. That is never going to change. The reason is my heroes are way too possessive. I did feel relief when after Aksel felt the same for the first time as a Dom. Although because it was there I did keep thinking back on it. But this is a personal preference and hardcore BDSM fans will love that scene.  I felt these two fit each other perfectly and I adored their banter. Ingvild was feisty and stubborn and I actually didn't connect with her very well because even though I'm a slight submissive I can't take that sort of dominated actions outside the bedroom. She couldn't even ask questions or make comments. I'm not into pain as punishment. Maybe some in the middle of making love equally balanced but not for speaking or asking questions. But I guess if you like being punished it works for the sub. Again personal preference.  I have to identify and connect with the heroine and this heroine wasn't anything like me. So that is why I probably felt like I did. Even though several scenes made me very uncomfortable I still felt some amazing passion between these two. I always feel the love that Christine portrays from her hero. They definitely are devoted and true. That right there makes me #AutoRead this author. She's a true "Love Story" Author who knows Romance is all about Loyalty, Honor and Passion. The heat will scorch you and leave you breathless. There isn't another Erotica writer out there that I trust to make the Love story the true erotic experience and the passionate scenes build that love story up not overshadow it.  Adding into the story all my favorite characters I was really pleased with this installment.

Up in Smoke (Crossing the Line #2) by Tessa Bailey - @mstessabailey

When I need my perfect hero fix I simply read Tessa Bailey. This was one more exemplary example of what I love in my male leading men. Totally over the top possessive and 100% loyal. There is no one better at giving us a dirty talker. Tessa wins hands down every time.    Connor was intensely and perfectly man personified. From his constant protective nature to his sexy dominance, I was seduced. I felt his hopelessness over Erin tortured past and was feeling so much rage with him for her.     The way this man gave her complete unconditional acceptance was beyond beautiful. He embodied all that I look for in my book boyfriends. A true hero in the aspect that he held back is own needs, his own desires for her and in that process he gave her the reigns and he still found the sweetest control ... to be able to give that control to her was a power he never had before.    Erin was definitely a very intense and deeply troubled heroine. To be able to survive and function after he past was just extraordinary. A day to Erin was counted by the seconds and minutes, steps and doors, windows and exits.    I loved her quirky brave persona and I liked her from the start.  She couldn't stay away from Connor even though she had the fear that raced along side the need and the want.  I adored how patient he was and the way Erin grew stronger every day he surrounded her with walls of freedom and love to release her was just beautiful.  Up in Smoke had profound and scorching love scenes that were balanced and emotional, adding a precious  depth to the story. Each character added intrigue and excitement with just the right amount of mystery. I simply can't get enough of this author and can't wait for the next sizzler she writes.

Falling Series (Falling #1-3) by A. Zavarelli @AshZav

This was a sexy and suspense filled series about more than just two people falling in love. It was about survival and acceptance. Surviving a past that wouldn't let her go, Victoria was running scared. Just getting up everyday and trying to live was a battle. Then crashing into the extreme life force that is Gabriel Maddox was a whole different type of battle. There was just something there that pulled and pushed her , connecting her to him in ways she'd never encountered before. Gabriel was completely swept away with the innocent but feisty Victoria. He saw something in her that he couldn't walk away from. He'd never felt this extreme level of emotion before.    Two people who have secrets and desires trying to hold on to their hearts.    There was some very sexy scenes and I was pleased with how the relationship progressed. Towards the end both characters made some decisions that really sent my "too-much-angst" meter to the red zone. I did hold on tight and saw it to a very romantic conclusion. I'll be watching this author for more sexy goodness

Hard Limit (Hackers #4) by Meredith Wild -@wildmeredith

I fell in love with this couple hard in the previous installments and was eager for this new entry in their passionate love affair. Blake and Ericka are engaged and you'd think things should be calming down for them. But in a place where you can't trust those that are close to you and also those that seem to be harmless, well no calm in site. The whole cast of characters show their faces at at least one point in the book and it was filled with romance and more.  Speaking of romance. This was one sexy read for sure. Blake is the ultimate dominant lover and Ericka knows how to push is buttons just enough to get that strong hand to want to pull her in. His way with words and his no fear attitude just makes him one sexy hero. The way Blake always let's Ericka know how he's feeling is very endearing. He's not afraid to tell her loves her and he shows her every single day they are together. Ericka is hot headed and sometimes she just goes off with out thinking and I wanted to shake her a time or two. It's just the way this couple is ..they work even when you think they are going to  com-bust. But truly the only fear of any explosions in this book is in the bedroom.  Passion , intrigue and danger. That is what Ericka and Blake encounter but there were some shocks and twists I never saw coming. I was holding on to my Kindle with a white knuckle grip. Meredith Wild is one author that pulls me in on the first page and keeps me enthralled till the last. I find this is one series I can't get enough of. I eagerly await the conclusion and hope this couple get the HEA they deserve.

Deacon (Unfinished Heroes #4) by Kristen Ashley - @KristenAshley68

Kristen Ashley stole my heart when I stumbled upon Knight over 2 years ago. I will always count this series as very special to me because it was what caused me to discover an author that is now my #1 go to authors for passionate and riveting plots. Stories that suck you in and make you read slowly to savor each and every sizzling page. While this series is what Kristen calls her Anti-heroes there is not doubt they are still swoon worthy heroes indeed. Deacon’s  story broke my heart and then put it all back together. From the moment he walked into Cassie’s cabin I was swept away in the abyss of his personality.  I felt so many feelings while reading this book that I at times caught myself with my hand over my heart..because the emotions were so intense. That is what makes a brilliant author. When you can’t stop reading and don’t want anything to interrupt this amazing love affair with words. Deacon and Cassidy were just breath taking together. I loved the slow build of their love and the sexy and sassy banter.  The dialogue was over the top amazing and I found everything I love about a Kristen Ashley romance in this. A steamy love story  that is erotic yet tender, broken but beautiful. Healing and forgiveness and loyalty and strength. Characters that intrigue, plot that is intense and passionate and a whole cast of favorites who sweep you away to the past when you fell in love with each of them. I adore this author with everything I my heart and eagerly count the days till my Kindle carries the next brilliant read she gifts her readers with.

Nordic Lessons by Christine Edwards

Christine Edwards always gives me what I want. Bossy, Protective, Possessive and Loyal heroes! Heroines that have just the amount of sass and all the passion for these dominant lovers to make perfect matches every time.  This one gave me another favorite of mine. I love dirty talking bikers and I found that and more.   I adored this story and really loved how honest and up front this couple was from the start.   Mikkel was transfixed by the sweet and sexy Elora from the moment he found her on the side of the road.  She’s like some gorgeous damn angel come down to earth. Elora was drawn to him in a bone deep way from the start also.  My body seems to respond to something perilous and primal that this fearsome man has to offer me. Mikkel and Elora both were searching for that special person that could accept them for who they were deep inside.   From the moment they met they could feel that connection , like they found that person that could give them what they not only craved but needed.  Mikkel was a firm but loving Dom and Elora was a submissive but never had the change to explore this side of herself. She yearned for a firm hand and loved how Mikkel loved her with firmness.    His possessiveness made my heart race and just sent shivers through me every time he made it known that Elora was HIS in every way.     It was so great to see more of Lisetta and Bern and the suspense in this book was off the charts. To have a glimpse of Alreck and Vail was endearing and melted my heart. I was holding my breath at times and was so sad when it ended. I am so pleased with this sexy story and eagerly await the next passionate couple from Christine. She never lets us down.   TRIPLES with EMMA
