Review: Animal Instincts

The premise of this novel drew me in. Just another shifter paranormal this is NOT. Don't pass this one up if you're a fan of paranormal novels.

The mystery and tension kept me hooked. Two different points of view enrich the story and deepen the characters in a very nice way. However, I will say that I did not like how the author shifted from 1st to 3rd person, that was jarring. And yet, it wasn't enough to make me stop reading and didn't ruin the novel for me. It is the only reason it didn't earn four stars though.

This is a very sensual read, definitely for adults, but I wouldn't classify it as erotic. It passed the biggest test: I would read a sequel.


I received an ARC of this book from the publisher for an honest review. I was not compensated.

Book Review: Lace & Lead

I'm not much for the 'damsel in distress' type of story but this one really hooked me. Emma is a fierce little rich girl that has been through hell and back at the hands of her own family. Pierce is an aloof mystery that I was dying to peel the layers from. This book kept me awake late into the night, something that hasn't happened in a long time. I couldn't stop reading! I give it a solid four stars and I would definitely read more by this author. It is a good length novella that is well priced.

Two pet peeves of mine were struck with this one. The cover didn't feel as though it fit the book and neither did the title. Beyond that there isn't anythingI didn't like.

The heat level on this one is hot, though I'd hesitate to call it full fledged erotica. There is one sex scene that is smoking hot but not quite 'eyes wide open'.


Review disclaimer: I received an advanced ARC of Lace & Lead from the publisher through NetGalley. I was not paid in any way for this review beyond the fact that the ARC was provided for free and that did not affect this review in any way.

My Sexy Saturday Week 26


Today for #MySexySaturday blog hop I'm revealing the second look at my upcoming erotic fantasy novella, Valkyrie Awakening. We're picking up where last week left off so if you'd like to read it first, click here. Here are my seven paragraphs:

Unable to process it all at once, my mind clings to the mundane.
“I’m naked.”
Oddly, the fact only embarrasses me a little. My new muscles twitch and suddenly my wings wrap around me, hiding my nakedness. A cool breeze blowing off the water far below, dances across my bare ass. All right, so apparently my nakedness isn’t completely covered.
My escort laughs again. “Sorry about that, I should have warned you. The world you came from is a physical one while Asgard is a world of pure energy. They aren’t so different really, but physical items cannot travel from that one to this one,” she explains.
The distant castle draws my eyes gain. “I’ll have to enter Valhalla naked?” I ask, my voice rising in pitch a little.
I’ve never been overly modest, but the thought of entering Valhalla naked makes me want to throw up. My nipples harden in response to the thought, and not in a good way.
My escort smiles and nods her head back in the direction we came from. 

For those who don't know, here is a bit about the hop: Post 7 paragraphs or 7 sentences or 7 words. The choice is yours. It can be from a WIP or something you already have published. Your post should be live by 9 am US Pacific Time on Saturday. Put those lucky 7s to work for you! NOTE: This is a blog hop (which means participants hop around, comment, and promote other participants!) and you need a blog to participate. If you are unsure of how your post should look, look back on past weeks to see what others have done. 

Don't forget to check out all the other titilating entries at the #MySexySaturday link for this week. 

Until book two releases, if you haven't read the first one, Valkyrie Slumbering, yet, you can read the first several steamy chapter of it in all formats at this link. The heat level of this one is off the charts though so adults only!

My Sexy Saturday: Upcoming Release

Some of you know that I've been hard at work on an upcoming release, Valkyrie Rising, the sequel to my novella Valkyrie Slumbering. It is finally in the final stages of editing and will be releasing soon! As a huge fan of #MySexySaturday I felt as though it would be the perfect place to reveal the first glimpse of it. The heat factor of my exerpt is 'warm'. Next week things will heat up a bit though...

Here it is, the first excerpt of Valkyrie Rising:

Instead of white like my escort’s wings, mine are a light brown that is almost golden. My long, blond hair tangles around the feathers, pulling slightly. I stroke one of them. It’s soft and silky, and feels as real and solid as anything in the world I just left. The motion causes my arm to brush against my bare breast. The sensation makes me look down. I’m completely naked. Upon my abdomen the mark of the Valkyrie glows: golden knots woven into the shape of wings that rise over my ribs, the triangular mark of Odin in their center. The profound meaning finally strikes me.

I am a Valkyrie. 

Until the release, if you haven't read Valkyrie Slumbering yet, you can catch a free glimpse of the first few chapters of it in all formats at this link. Heat level of this one is off the charts though so adults only!

Book Review: Circle of Fire

This is a great winter read that will keep you warm on those chilly nights. That said, if I didn't know who the publisher was, I would think it was an indie title due to some of its issues. But first, what I loved about it.

The main character pulled me in and had my sympathizing for her from page one. Mystery builds from the word go and kept me turning pages late into the night. The author has a talent for ending chapters on a tense moment that left me wanting to know more, which makes for a quick, enjoyable read.

The slow flame build of attraction between Maddie and John developed at believable pace and kept the tension singing. I enjoyed the read overall and would recommend it to fans of romance and paranormal. However, if you're looking for erotic elements, you won't find them here. What sex is in it is 'closed doors' that barely gets an R rating.

What didn't work: There were a few places where the action stopped and leaped to something else in a disjointed way that left me wondering if a part of the chapter was left out. While Maddie's self-loathing due to her past was understandable, it got on my nerves a bit. I would have liked to see her grow into her power more and become more comfortable with herself than was developed by the end.

An advanced eARC of Circle of Fire was provided to me through NetGalley by the publisher.

Crawling Back Up

I figured it was long over due time for me to crawl back up over the face of the world from which I fell. While my reason for being gone is one I think you'll like, it has left me missing you all terribly. I haven't been seen much here, on Twitter, or even Facebook. You see, my muse kidnapped me and held me hostage in the most delicious way. The novella that was due this fall has turned into a full fledged novel and I couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, that means the release date has been pushed out but the rewards will be oh so sweet and so worth it, trust me. This next installment in the Valkyrie series is going to be a doosie.

As it nears completion and goes to my editor, I am emerging back into the world and am eager to catch up with all of you. So tell me, how have you been, what have you been up to? Any good news?

My Sexy Saturday Week 7

It's the seventh week of My Sexy Saturday and I'm just jumping in, bad Lilly, I know! Sorry about that, I meant to participate from the start but I've been neck deep in revisions. If you don't already know, My Sexy Saturday is a blog hop that's all about sexy. For today's hop we must post 7 sentences, words, or paragraphs. Here are my seven sentences from Valkyrie Slumbering. Warning, they are scorching and as with everything on my blog, not intended for eyes younger than eighteen:

I tilt my head back and kiss his chin, lick a line along it until I reach his ear. Pulling his earlobe between my teeth, I bite gently and he moans. His lips find mine, and my mouth opens to him, eagerly awaiting the thrust of his tongue. As our tongues dance in and out of each other’s mouths, his hands work at the lacings of my breeches. He pulls his tongue back, making me chase it. Just as he thrusts it back into my mouth, his hand slips inside my breeches, over the mound of my hair, and between my folds. I’m already so wet that my panties will have to be washed.

Valkyrie Slumbering is available on Amazon, B&N, and more through Inferno Publishing.

Red Hot Books Reviews Valkyrie Slumbering

Valkyrie Slumbering has been reviewed by Shelley Browne of Red Hot Books! Here is a taste of the review:

"My first VanHorn, but not my last and while it’s a novella it definitely drew me in. Kyra’s on a revenge quest. Her father’s been murdered and the need for justice is high with her. Along the countryside she meets Grim who has some (if not many) secrets and skill (both on the off the battlefield) and is on his own personal quest." ~Shelley.

For the remainder I hope you'll drop by Red Hot Books to read and show some comment love to Shelley.

Review: Awakening The Warriors

I'd been hearing good things about author S.E. Gilchrist, so when I saw this on Net Galley, I jumped at the chance to read and review it.

My feelings about it ended up being mixed. It falls somewhere between a long short story and a very short novella at around 15k. Overall, I enjoyed this and I will be checking out more of S.E.'s work. The world she creates in this sci-fi erotic short is interesting and I would definitely like to know more about it. I didn't have time to connect with the characters, and I don't feel there was enough story here to fully develop them, but I did sympathize with them and I liked them.

The writing felt disjointed, with sentences phrased oddly and words thrown in that felt out of place. However, that could be because S.E. is an Australian author and perhaps the writing style is different in Australia.

So please, take that comment with a dash of salt. There were a few (very few) grammar issues, but I read the advanced copy which may not have been fully edited at the time. On a stylistic level, parts of the story felt rushed, and many of the transitions between scenes were rough. I would have loved for this to be a full length novella at maybe three times the length where we readers could become fully vested in the story and the characters. Both were interesting enough (story and characters) that I feel it would make an excellent longer novella.

Contains one very well done explicit m/f/m sex scene.

Review: Gone With The Wolf

When I saw this erotic romance on Net Galley, I knew I had to read it! I'd never read any of Kristin Miller's novels before, but I had heard good things about her. Now I know why!

This book surprised me in a very good way. I was leery at first of this 'fated to be mated' plot, fearful that it would be like the many that have come before it. But it was unlike any of them. The chemistry between Emelia and Drake was fiery, tumultuous, and totally believable. Emelia's spunk had me cheering for her, and Drake's tenderness had me swooning for him. The romance between them develops at a perfect, slow pace, despite their instant attraction. I'll be looking for more of this author's work!

It earned four solid flames. I would recommend this book for fans of paranormal and steamy romance. There is one explicit m/f sex scene.




You can find Gone With The Wolf at: 
Amazon / B&N

A review copy of this book was provided to me by the publisher via Net Galley for my honest, unbiased review. This review is my honest opinion.

A Hot Excerpt Involving Hot Aliens

I get the distinct pleasure of bringing you an extended excerpt from Jessica E. Subject's upcoming erotic sci-fi novel! First, here is a bit about it:


Alien Adoration
Alien Next Door book 1
By Jessica E. Subject
Erotic Sci-Fi Romance
ISBN: 978-0991932009

Erotic dreams fill her with need…

Night after night, Rachel fantasizes about her sexy, playboy neighbor. But in her small town, no one changes, least of all the bad boy next door. But when Luke rescues her not once but twice from disastrous dates, she dares to believe her knight in black leather armor may be the right man for her after all.  

Until she learns the truth...

Life on Earth has never been easy for Luke. Stranded as a little boy, he struggled to craft an existence for himself, but he never forgot the first human he met--and he never stopped wanting to see her again. Returning to Hanton, Luke longs for Rachel. Yet, nothing goes as he plans, and Rachel barely notices him. Convincing her he isn't like all the jerks she's dated means telling her the truth, but can she handle it? 

Can she overcome her fears, or will she deny her alien adoration and leave him stranded once more?
Buy Links:
Excerpt:
     “Need a lift?”
     The voice was deep and masculine, one she didn’t hear very often, but would recognize anywhere. Luke. Wonderful! He wouldn’t talk to me before, but now that I’m topless and sopping wet, he notices me.
     She circled slowly to stare at the leather-clad figure sitting atop his motorcycle. The visor of his helmet covered most of his face, leaving only his luscious lips and deep, jutting chin, covered in light stubble, exposed. What would they feel like against her lips? Between her legs? Her body tingled.
     “Earth to Rachel. Do you need a lift, or should I leave you here in the pouring rain?”
     Oh God, he knows my name. Since they’d never actually talked—she’d only heard him greeting his dates—her name on his lips came as a surprise. “Um, yes, I’d appreciate a ride.” On his Harley, and if she was lucky, in his bed. Anywhere. Her romance-first rule didn’t apply to him. He’d already seduced her plenty in her dreams.
     Remaining on his bike, he yanked a helmet from his saddlebag and held it out to her. “What happened to your pretty blouse?”
     Pretty blouse? He’d seen her earlier? “I….” Fluttering rolled through her stomach. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
     She grabbed the helmet from him, fit it over her soaked hair, and buckled the chinstrap. Straddling the seat behind him, she fumbled with her hands, wondering where to place them, no bar behind her to hold on to. Oh, what it would be like to wrap her arms around him, lean against his wide back covered in leather. But what if he didn’t want her to touch him?
     Luke pushed off from the curb. “I suggest you hold onto me or you’re going to fall off.”
     The bike lurched forward with a roar. She clasped her hands around his waist, her fingers coming together temptingly close to his manhood, cheek pressed to his cowskin jacket. His deep chuckle reverberated across her skin.
     “I told you to hang on.”
     And she could lean on him forever. Being so close to him with pure raw power between her legs moved her better than any fantasy she had ever created. But what is going to happen when he takes me home? Or will he invite me to his house instead?
     She pressed her lips together. Sure, she wanted to know what lay under his tight pants, but she refused to be another conquest. I can’t handle it.
     He drove into her driveway too soon, leaning the bike over enough for her to slip off. She removed the helmet and handed it back to him. “Thank you. I appreciate the ride.”
     Tucking the helmet away, he nodded. “You want to come over for coffee?”
     That and more. Though she refused to go anywhere in her state of disarray. “Um, no, I’m kind of wet.”
     “Another time, then?”
     She nodded. Shit, why did I say no? They could strip down together and have all kinds of fun. But he
drove away before she had a chance to retract her words.
     She circled slowly to stare at the leather-clad figure sitting atop his motorcycle. The visor of his helmet covered most of his face, leaving only his luscious lips and deep, jutting chin, covered in light stubble, 
exposed. What would they feel like against her lips? Between her legs? Her body tingled.
     “Earth to Rachel. Do you need a lift, or should I leave you here in the pouring rain?”
     Oh God, he knows my name. Since they’d never actually talked—she’d only heard him greeting his dates—her name on his lips came as a surprise. “Um, yes, I’d appreciate a ride.” On his Harley, and if she was lucky, in his bed. Anywhere. Her romance-first rule didn’t apply to him. He’d already seduced her plenty in her dreams.

     Tucking the helmet away, he nodded. “You want to come over for coffee?”
     That and more. Though she refused to go anywhere in her state of disarray. “Um, no, I’m kind of wet.”
     “Another time, then?”
     She nodded. Shit, why did I say no? They could strip down together and have all kinds of fun. But he drove away before she had a chance to retract her words.
     A ruined opportunity. Would she ever get another?
     A sudden flash of lightning sent her running up her steps. Reaching behind the outside light, she grabbed her house key and unlocked the door. In the foyer, she plucked her loose changed from her pocket and placed it on the table beside her purse. She stripped down to nothing then rushed up to her bedroom. Without thinking, she opened the curtains and glanced next door, hoping for another glimpse of her rescuer.
     He stood on his porch. Grinning at her, he waved.
     She fell to the floor, flat on her ass. Not only had she been topless behind him on the bike, but she’d just exposed herself to him. Everything. With her tall window, he must have seen her from her head all the way down to her knees where the sill cut her off.
     Did he expect me to be there? Was he waiting to see what else I’d show off? Molten heat coursed through her veins. Her heart pounded. There was no way she could sleep tonight, not without self-fulfillment while imagining being ravaged by her sexy and mysterious neighbor.
     Crawling onto the bed, she ducked underneath her covers, trailing her fingers down to her heat. With so much more inspiration, this promised to be her best fantasy yet.

Review: Cold Warriors by Clare Dargin

I love great sci-fi, can't get enough of it, quite literally. I wish there were more! This fell comfortably into the levels of great sci-fi with romantic elements for me.

Caitlin Driskoll wakes up from cryo after almost a hundred years to find herself in the midst of a war, fighting on a side she never would have chosen. Reluctant love in the hardest of times blooms into something deep. The way their relationship developed was natural and believable, keeping me caught up in their story.

I would recommend this for fans of military sci-fi who don't mind a few erotic elements. You can find it at the following links:

I received a copy of this eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Why I Write Erotica

When I announced to my friends that I had an erotica novel releasing some of them gave me a response that ruffled my feathers a bit. Okay, more than a bit, if I'm being honest. Which I am.

One said, "Oh well, I guess you have to make a living." And they haven't talked much to me since.

Really? Really?! The reason I chose to write erotica isn't because of the success of the latest erotica book that propelled the author into stardom. I did not leap into this with dreams of being the next 'Grey' so to speak. Ever since I hit my teen years my writing has been spicy, to put it mildly. For the books I wrote under my other name, I was forced to tone it down to keep my editor happy. Erotica came naturally to me, so naturally that I have a file of deleted scenes from many of my earlier books that never even made it to my editor.

Sex is one of the basic instincts, one we all have. Couple that with the basic need for love and companionship and you have a powerful mixture for a novel. That has always appealed to me. When I was given the chance to write freely and naturally, I jumped at it. And I couldn't be more happy that I did. It feels as though the chains have been removed. And it doesn't hurt the sex life either. ;)

How about you? If you're an author of erotica, why do you write it? If you're a reader of it, what draws you to it?

Free At Last on Amazon

It took a monumental effort to move the mountain that is Amazon, but I finally got them to list Werewolf Wedding: Maid of Honor (the 5k excerpt of the full novella, Werewolf Wedding) for FREE! You can now download it from Amazon and get a healthy taste of what the full novella is like. I hope you'll give it a try and maybe shout out about it to your friends.

If you love werewolf stories, paranormal, and of course erotica, then this tale may appeal to you. It's scorching on the steam-meter with explicit m/f sex, but with a plot to carry it along.

Here is a ready made tweet if you'd like to help me spread the word:
