Red & Wolfe: Part 1 by Ella James
Contemporary
Erotica 35 Pages

When Sarah "Red" Ryder loses her job as an art critic for a Boston newspaper, she's brokenhearted. Worse than that? She's broke. Her boyfriend recently left her - for a tatted-up hottie with a dick - so she's stuck paying her hefty apartment rent alone. After two months unemployed, there's no money left. With no immediate family to turn to, Red reaches out to her estranged grandmother, a reclusive writer living on an island off the coast of Charleston. Several days later, Red receives $30,000 and an invitation to visit.

James Wolfe is not Red's grandmother. But he beckons her. Red has the ability to give him something he needs. He won't take "no" for an answer, and he doesn't mind screwing her over. He lost his conscience six years ago, when he was tried for the murder of his wife. Since then, life is about him - and the paintings he does under the mysterious pseudonym "W."

Wolfe needs the island to keep painting. To live his life away from prying eyes. To keep up the anonymity of "W."

Once he sees Red, he finds that he needs her, too. And Wolfe will have her. 
Any way he can.

Synopsis
When Jonathan was gone I couldn't stop thinking about him, and the first thing he did when he got back was demand more of me. I'm willing to give him my orgasms and my time, but I find myself giving up pieces of my heart.

My career is on track, and even though I can't write a thing, I can sing. So I'll go to the art opening with him, because his ex wife will be there. I feel this need to protect him from hurt, though in bed, his domination brings me to my knees.

This man is going to break me into a million little pieces.



I suppose comparisons could be made between Songs of Submission and other series where you have a damaged, millionaire man meeting a young woman who may or may not lack experience, who then engage in some form of a D/s relationship. I didn't make that connection until halfway through Tease, but still the comparison could be made. What sets Songs of Submission apart from others is Ms. Reiss' writing. The way she uses language to convey this powerful story is amazing. She keeps me riveted, completely wound up in anticipation.

Tease is more a story of sexual awakening. About two people who are unquestionably attracted - drawn - to one another. Two people who have undeniable chemistry and who seem to have something the other needs. 

This installment saw Monica and Jonathan trying to find a way to make the relationship work to the benefit of them both. However, the expectations may prove to be more than Monica can handle. Particularly after meeting Jonathan's ex-wife at the same moment as she experiences a painful move on the part of her ex-boyfriend.

I am indeed anxious to see how these two are going to traverse the rocky road they've set upon.

Synopsis
"Your mine. The minute I told you to spread your lefts and you did it, you were mine. When I told you to beg for it and you did, you were mine. When you put your hands behind your back without being told, I owned you."

No. God, no.

My name is Monica, and no matter what Jonathan says, I am not submissive.



Submit sees Monica dealing with Jonathan's awakening her submissive tendencies while she also must deal with a possible break as well as a personal tragedy.

Ms. Reiss does an incredible job of imparting Monica's feelings about exploring her relationship with Jonathan - the fear of becoming less somehow. I found it fascinating that Monica was submitting all along but once Jonathan put a name to it, she freaked. I am completely enchanted by these two characters who need one another, are so vulnerable with one another in a way they aren't with anyone else. They are clearly falling for one another.

I feel I must mention, lest you think this serial is only about sex/lust, the supporting cast members - especially Darren - are equally intriguing. We don't see as much of any of them as we do Monica and Jonathan, but their presence adds much in back story and character development.

**That's What HE Said ~ #9**

CB_TWHST2

That's What He Said is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely ladies @Chapter Break. Here's the deal: every Thursday, post a line from your book boyfriend to his heroine. Keep in mind, these are direct quotes from dialog in the books. The quote doesn't have to be romantic - just something our hunky hero said to his lucky lady. Be sure to link up over at Chapter Break as well.

This week, my That's What He Said is from 
Submit by CD Reiss.

"You're not using me. You're mine. You are my own personal goddess. It's my job to make sure you're happy. And if I can't make you happy, I won't feel right if you're not taken care of as best as I can..."

Jonathan is speaking to Monica - she needs to make some arrangements and he offers to help. Monica feels guilty asking for his help and this is his response. *swoon*

Synopsis
Return to Rabbit Island for the erotic second installment of Red & Wolfe, the sensual story of exiled playboy James Wolfe and writer Sarah "Red" Ryder. This is an erotic fairy tale inspired by Little Red Riding Hood.



I know this is an erotic fairy tale inspired by Little Red Riding Hood, but I never know what to expect and Ms. James keeps shocking me!

Part 2 picks up right where Part 1 ended. And it gets hotter. *fans self* But this installment not only turns up the heat but also reveals a few things - not only for the reader, but for Red and Wolfe as well. And I had no inkling the story was going to go in this direction. 

Red and Wolfe have an immediate pull toward one another. And in letting Wolfe in, Red realizes how lonely she's been. And Wolfe, despite his desperate need for privacy, finds himself unwilling to part with Red too soon. It's interesting to see how much these two need one another, even without knowing one another that well. I'm quite eager to see where this is going to go from here.

Synopsis
Return to Rabbit Island with Red and the illusive Race for the hottest serial installment so far. I'd bring at least two pairs of extra panties if I were you.



I'm going to go out on a limb here and compare Red & Wolfe to a dessert. Part 1 was the crust - the foundation of the story. Part 2 was the sweet stuff - the cream filling. Red & Wolfe Part 3 would have been the topping - what finishes off the treat. Only Part 3 is just the next delectable layer in this scrumptious confection. Because there's a Part 4 coming! And I know it's going to be the crumb topping with a sweet drizzle and maybe a cherry! ;)

Okay, enough of my analogy. Part 3 was more meaty than Part 2 (sorry for going back to a food analogy - I can't help it!) We get a little more background on Wolfe, which was enlightening. I enjoyed getting to know more about him. I'm also relishing the dual POV. Getting both Red's and Wolfe's perspectives adds depth to the story.

There's also this intense magnetic pull between Red and Wolfe.
"...I've already gotten far closer to him than I've ever been to anyone."-Red, Loc 356
"Should I be pushing her "on" button just because I can?It doesn't matter.I'm not going to stop.Not as long as she's here.I can't help myself."-Wolfe, Loc 400-406
And the steam level - wowza! Red and Wolfe definitely got down and dirty. I'm not sure where their story is going to end up, but I have hopes. :) I can't wait for #4!

Come (Dirty, Dark, & Deadly #1)
by JA Huss
Genre: Erotic Suspense
Release Date: June 25, 2014




Synopsis
My name is James Fenici and you will never see me coming. I walk the shadows like darkness itself. I hide in the corners where nobody looks. I live by no rules, I have no boundaries, I take no prisoners, and I never, ever blink. I am not your knight in shining armor; I’m your worst nightmare.


My name is James Fenici and you are my target. Only one of us is getting out alive, and that’s not gonna be you. Once your name is on my list, your life is over. It’s a deal I make with death, it’s a contract I sign in blood, it’s forgone conclusion—get used to it.

My name is James Fenici and I’m as dirty as they come. But then one day I saw her. And every monster I thought I was. Every fact I thought I knew. Every dirty promise I ever turned down came back to slap me in the face.

My name is James Fenici and I think I am in love.

“I watched you all morning as you did your circuit. Pull-ups hanging off the railing of the pier. Running the steps that lead to the beach exactly fifty times. Sit-ups lying on the sand. And then the final

cooldown walk out to the end of the pier just before dawn. And the entire time, your eyes were sweeping the area. Looking for people.”

“I never saw you,” I say, the panic back again.

“No, I’m not someone who likes to be seen, Harper. I’m someone who likes to do the seeing. But I figured,” he continues, changing the subject back to me, “you were just being careful. Maybe a bit
paranoid. Afraid of getting mugged by a crazy homeless person looking for drugs. Typical shit, Harper.”

The way he says my name, God. Why is this man making me feel like this?

“So I was curious. Just an ordinary kind of curious. The kind of curious I feel when I see an unusual bug. But diving off a pier—great form by the way, did you take diving in school?” He doesn’t wait for my answer. “Diving off a pier, to avoid telling me your name? Now that... Harper, that shit is downright intriguing.”

“It is?” 

“Yes.” His lips touch my ear this time. His tongue slides in and flicks against my skin. I hunch my shoulders and let out a moan. “I still want the dirty fuck. But not right now.”

“Oh God,” I whimper. “Just say it already, what do you want with me?”

He pulls away. His hand comes back to my throat, but it doesn’t rest there. No. His fingertips are prodding me to lift my head up and meet his gaze head on.

I obey. It’s I’m like stuck in a trance. He’s entranced me.

“I want to know you.”

And then his mouth is on mine, his tongue probing, pushing for entrance. His hand goes to that spot between my legs where it throbs wildly as he creates friction, calling forth more wetness. His other hand goes to my breast, the nipple hard and bunched from the cold water, my skin tingling with anticipation, fear, and want.

He tastes like salt and he kisses like the sea. Like a dangerous, killing, unforgiving sea that can do whatever it wants with my body. Toss me, twirl me, take me under and steal the breath right out of me. Make me powerless.

And that’s exactly how I feel.





I am in love with this cover!!! Of course, I love anything Ms. Huss does. What do y'all think? I can't wait to get my hands on this one!


Come Back (Dirty,  Dark, And Deadly #2)
by JA Huss
Genre: Erotic Suspense
Release Date: July 21, 2014




Synopsis
“Secrets keep the darkness alive,” Harper tells me. But that’s not how I see it at all. Secrets keep me alive. The truth is overrated. Honesty is never the best policy. And everything you know absolutely can hurt you. The contracts I fulfill are just agreements. Death is a business deal. Secrets are currency in my world. I pay my debts with them. I feed on them. They ground me in the present and they promise me a future. I’ve lived a life filled with secrets for so long—I forgot what it’s like to... feel.

Until I saw Harper. Until I saw how beautiful she’s become. How perfect, and pure, and innocent of all the ugly that goes on around her. And that dirty promise I refused the night her father turned me into a killer twelve years ago is suddenly on the table again.

Harper can be mine. No—Harper will be mine. All I have to do is
complete the mission.

Death is a business deal.

And I just shook his hand.







“I think I know why he didn’t kill Merc.”

“Why?” Harper asks quickly, turning around to see Sasha.

“Because Merc is gonna kill him.”

“That’s fucking it!” I swerve the Hummer over to the almost non-existent shoulder, and slam on the breaks. “You shut your fucking mouth, kid! Or I swear to fucking God, I’ll—”

“You’ll what?” Harper asks, her eyebrows raised up to the ceiling. “She’s got legitimate questions, James. And to be honest, I’m interested in the answers. Who was the guy who took her? And why was he sending me messages?”

“Harper, use your fucking brain. Why do you think he was sending you messages?”

“Why? If he knew where to find me, then why didn’t he just take me? Why play this game? I’m sure my father has a reward out. Or a hit.”

“Oh, is that where we’re at again? You think I’m here to kill you? Did you know the smurf is an assassin too? Or did you not put that two plus two together yet?”

“Don’t insult me, Tet. I figured that out, thanks.”

“Then maybe you’re her target and not mine? How about that?”

“So why hasn’t she killed me?”

“I haven’t killed you either, but you still think that’s my job. And while we’re all playing let’s confess to shit we’re not doing, what’s your job, Harper? Who the fuck are you and your brother after?”

“Oh, snap!” Sasha says loudly.

“Shut up!” Harp and I yell together.

“She’s playing us, you do realize that, right? I mean, you can see that now, right? She’s egging us on, making us fight.”

“I’m just trying to tell you something,” Sasha squeals. “Something you don’t know but I do. And you know what? Forget it. You don’t deserve my help if you’re gonna treat me like a traitor! I was kidnapped for her!” She shoves Harper on the shoulder and Harp reacts and slaps her hand off, turning around like she’s gonna dive back there and start a real fight. 

“Sit back, Harper.” I growl as I yank her by the arm and push her against the door. I pull back onto the road before one of these girls decides to get out of the car. I am not in the mood to chase them down in this heat.

“I don’t want to travel with you anymore,” Harper says as she crosses her arms and turns her back to me. “I’m leaving when we get back to civilization.”

“I’m leaving too. I’d rather die than go back to Merc. I’ll find Ford on my own.”

Called that one.

Amazon ~ B&N



CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.

Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

Spin, book one in Songs of Corruption is due to be released on 3/13, two days early. I expect a preorder button will go up around 3/10 or so. You can use any of the below links to get an announcement.

Songs of Perdition, Fiona Drazen’s serial, will begin May 5th, as part of the Erotica Consortium’s boxed set. The novella will be called Kick. Fiona’s story is very dark and uncomfortable. Consider yourselves warned.

**Review ~ Beg ~ C.D. Reiss**


Beg (Songs of Submission, #1)

Beg by C.D. Reiss
Songs of Submission #1
Release Date: January 16, 2013
Genre: Erotica, Erotic Romance
Source: Purchased Bend Anthology on Amazon, Beg was included
Rating: 5 Bookworms!

Synopsis
This novella is the first in a series

My name is Monica. I'm a singer born and raised in Los Angeles. I've stopped dating. When I cut a record, or win a Grammy, maybe then I'll be with someone, but every man in my past has done everything he could to make me submit myself to him, and it's gotten in the way of my career. I won't do it again.

But there's Jonathan. He owns the high-rise hotel where I work, and he is gorgeous and charming. I refuse to fall in love with him, even though when he asks me to submit to him, I want nothing more.

***GRAPHIC LANGUAGE, SEX, AND ADULT SITUATIONS***



I don't normally include buy links in my non-blog tour reviews, but Beg is currently **FREE** so I thought I'd make it easy on y'all! ;)


The Songs of Submission series, according to Ms. Reiss, is written like a t.v. serial. If I had started reading it when it was first released, I would have been waiting with bated breath for each new installment. As I waited until the series was complete, I now only have to juggle my review schedule to incorporate them. :)

There's something about Ms. Reiss' writing - the lush prose, the unique story - that drew me in immediately. I want to know all about Monica - her life, her musical talents, her heartbreaks - as well as Jonathan's. 

Monica is driven, caring, loyal, talented, and emotionally closed off - at least to men. Jonathan is handsome, wealthy, dominant, and emotionally closed off as well.

These two individuals are drawn to one another like moths to flame but they each also avoid commitment like the plague. I'm extremely eager to see where their attraction is going to take them. 

Honestly, I will read anything Ms. Reiss writes. She's that good!
