Erika Reed-Deceived

I read the first book in this series back when it came out, so when I got the chance to read Deceived, I jumped on it. I really enjoyed the first book, so I figured the second would be just as good. And it was. And there were things that I liked about it more than I liked about the first one.

So, Mac was in the military. But, he was injured, rather severely, and was medical’ed out. He decided that he would start a bounty-hunting agency. He would go out and hunt down people who have skipped bail, or who need to get got. As his nephews got out of the military or needed a job, he hired them on. Now that they are there, he lets the younger men go out and do all the field work, while he stays at the office and runs things.

Ten years ago, Mac was on leave and met a woman in a bar. He and Avery spent an amazing week together, but she disappeared in the middle of the night. He’s spent the last 10 years comparing every woman to Avery. Now he has the chance to look for her, and he’s finally found her.

Avery thinks back fondly to that week. It came at a horrible time in her life and was a little bit of light. But, it’s nothing more than a fond memory. Right until she walks out of her son’s school and sees Mac standing there, waiting for her. Now her past has hit her present and she’s not sure what she’s going to do.

So, right off the bat, here’s one of the things I really liked about this book, Avery is an older heroine. As a 40something, it’s nice to see a heroine close to my age. Don’t get me wrong, I generally have no problems reading about pretty young things, but sometimes reading about someone closer to my age is really nice. Especially when paired with an older man. I liked the premise, we all know that I like a good second-chance romance, even when it’s not totally a second-chance, 1.5-chance, maybe. Yeah, I think that works well. Either way, I like that whole trope, so it’s no surprise that I liked the story. There isn’t a whole lot of drama in this book, which isn’t a problem. I mean, there was still some conflict in the story, but not a lot of external drama and angst. You can’t have a story without some kind of conflict going on, but it’s not overwhelming and is enough to move the story along and make things better.

barbecue-bbq-beef-1105325

I really don’t have anything to put down here, I just wanted an excuse to post a picture of a grill, since Mac and his guys do have cookouts.

OK, I lied, I do have one thing. I do like that Avery’s son isn’t Mac’s son. It’s a change from other stories in this trope.

So, that’s all I have to say now. Go check out the books in this series. Happy reading!

Golden Angel-Arabella’s Taming

For some odd reason, every time I thought about this book, I wanted to called it Taming Arabella, which means that I had to check to make sure that I had it right about 14 times. I wouldn’t want to send out the wrong title. So, as of right now, it’s all present and correct. LOL.

Anyway, back to Arabella’s Taming. Golden Angel writes all kinds of stuff from dark, under her other pen name, Dark Angel, to funny and sexy, like her Big Bad Bunnies series. OMG, if you haven’t read that, then you really need to go read those books, because they are really so funny and hot. She’s also written a series of historical domestic disciplines called the Bridal Discipline books. The books are all interconnected and feature a group of friends and relatives who all end up married to each other, in some way or other. They include 2 sets of brothers, close female friends, a step-mother and her step-daughter. It all works out. Arabella is the last one of the group to get married, and the last book in the series.

Arabella has fallen in love with Thomas, whose brother is married to her good friend Gabrielle and who is good friends with her brothers Benedict and Issac. Issac has been trying to get Thomas, who is looking for a bride by the end of the London Season, to marry Arabella, but Thomas has a list of traits that he wants his bride to meet, and high-spirited, outspoken, bold, brash, and occasionally impetuous Arabella does not meet with his criteria. While yes, she’s attractive, intelligent, and able to manage his household and hostess duties, he sees all her faults and they overwhelm everything. He doesn’t want a wife he has to tame, he wants a sweet, biddable, already tamed woman as a wife. Thomas wants to come home to a nice roaring fire in the fireplace, not a bonfire outside.

Arabella has a habit of listening at keyholes because she would never know anything in any other way. Sadly, this was one of the times she decided to listen to the keyhole and she got to listen to the man she loves run her down and tell her brothers how unsuitable she is. Even worse, this Season she’s tried so very hard to be good, just so that Thomas could see how well she would suit as his bride. What she heard destroyed her and broke her heart, and made her decide that she would just be who she was and hang what Thomas thought. He didn’t want her? Fine, she didn’t want him either.

This leads to one of the biggest rakes of London, the Marquess of Hartford, to come ask her brother Issac if he could court Arabella and her agreeing to it. Arabella has decided that she no longer wants a love marriage, and marrying Hartford would be a lot of fun at least. But… is that what she really wants?

OK, I pretty much loved Arabella. She lives out loud. She enjoys herself when she can, supports and protects her friends, and is fierce and loving. She’s also a weeeeee bit impetuous and doesn’t always think ahead. As the sister of a Duke, she’s been somewhat protected by her behaviors, since no one is going to really censure her. She has also learned how to be a little manipulative and since she’s the baby of the family, she’s been relatively spoiled and no one has really reined her in. All in all, she’s an amazing character and one that I greatly liked and enjoyed reading about. Thomas is a good man, and for part of the book, I was pretty sure that was all I would be able to say about him. But, I knew that there had to be more to him than that because Golden wouldn’t do that. And he is a good man, but he has hidden depths that turned him into a truly delightful character.

f97e22cee95a01403dc557adcf6ff1bd

Alright, overall, Thomas was delightful, but he really had a learning curve to deal with. It seemed to me like he wasn’t always as realistic about Arabella as he should’ve been. After their wedding, I’m not sure why he wouldn’t think that she wouldn’t want to continue to go out galloping in the morning, since it was something that she’s done the whole time she was in London, excepting for when she was planning a huge Society wedding in a week. I totally supported Arabella in this one, because he was way in the wrong. However, I also agree with part of what Thomas said.

I do like that Thomas has his own lessons to learn, like when they are leaving London and he keeps arguing with Arabella about riding the day after she’s been punished. His dad had to school him there, and then Arabella did too, when they got to where they were going.

OK, that’s all I have to say today. Go check out all of Golden Angel’s Bridal Discipline books if you like historical romance. Happy reading!

Dani Rene-Ruthless

Dani Rene has done it again. She’s made me embrace one of the deadly Seven Sins. Ok, now that you’re done laughing, yes, let’s just all agree that Dani didn’t really need to make me embrace anything. I’m a wicked sinner all on my own. Of course, if she wants to send Carrick my way so that I can practice sinning, I wouldn’t complain overly much.

Bringing up Carrick isn’t really a digression or anything, since our main male character today is his  Ruthless brother, Callan, and parts of the book take place in Carrick’s club, Seven Sins.

When Callan and Cayleigh ended up in Chicago to visit their brother, 6 months ago, Carrick told them the club was open to them. He warned Callan off of one person, though, Madison Parker, the daughter of a senator. That doesn’t stop Callan from being obsessed with her though. For 6 long months, he has looked at her every Friday and imagined all the filthy things he could do to her.

Madison has to be “on” all the time. As her father’s daughter, she has to look pretty, be compassionate, and always, always, always protect the family brand. There is only one place where she feels like she can be herself with no one judging her or wanting something from her. Every Friday night, she goes to Seven Sins with her friend Amber for a drink. She never scenes there, in fact, she’s never scened anywhere, but it’s a safe place for her to be. The first time she noticed Callan, she was drawn to him and hasn’t been able to shake that magnetic draw. Callan is everything her “boyfriend” Hudson isn’t.

There are all kinds of things going on in this book. All kinds of good, twisty, bad, twisted kinds of things. There is so much more than just Callan and Madison, but then again, there is nothing as important as Callan and Madison. When we first met Callan in  Carrick’s book, I realllllly didn’t like him. I thought he was an asshole of epic proportions. I wasn’t sure how Dani would be able to redeem him, but I was looking forward to reading his book and finding out. Well, he’s still an asshole of rather grand proportions, at times, but getting into his head and finding out his POV and discovering what’s in his head really did help redeem him and turned me into a true Callan believer. Now Madison. Her I identified with a lot. I could totally understand where she was coming from and how she was feeling. There were a lot of things that happened that I completely understood why she did them. Dani has the skill of writing heroines that are both incredibly strong and incredibly vulnerable. It can’t be an easy thing to do, but it’s something that she does really well. I thought that Madison was an amazing character.

ATT00487-2

I knew Hudson was a slimy little git from the very first time that we saw him. I mean, just, what a fucking dickbag. From the first time he showed up, I wanted really, really, really bad things to happen to him. Really bad things.

I don’t know whether to feel sorry for Madison’s dad or not. Yeah, he did bad shit, but he was also kind of pushed into some of it, so… Yeah, I don’t know. I still suspect that he offed her mom or had her offed, but I’m just a suspicious person that way.

OK, that’s all I have to say about this one. I totally suggest that you read every single Dani Rene book in the world because they are that good. I love them all. So, go find them, and happy reading!

Megan Michaels-The Dragon Warlords

Megan is making her first appearance here on IBtP with a trio of terrific tails. And before you say, oh Clara, you misspelled tails, trust me, I did it on purpose. The 3 books are all great with a wonderful storyline, but they also have a breakout star, the tails. OMFG, the tails.

So, these books take place on the planet Trexotera, which has dragons. Thing of those dragons as warplanes, but you know, living and breathing warplanes. When the Trexoterans go to war against other planets, they take their fire-breathing dragons and go. The warlords and Commanders also carry guns and swords. While they may fight with dragons and swords, the Trexoterans are advanced with all that scifi tech we all love. Trexotera is run by King Zorander Quinn and his Queen, Gossamer. They have 2 sons and 2 daughters and one adopted son. The sons are Drayce and Cloven, with Artemis being the adopted son. The daughters’ names are Rosary and Willow.

While the story takes place primarily on Trexotera, the planet Zelora is also important. That planet is ruled by Alastair Tempest, who has twin daughters, Satin and Thistle, and at least one son, Thunder. I’m pretty sure that there is at least one more, but I haven’t checked the first book.

So, with all that, let’s talk about the books, shall we?

The first book is The Dragon’s Secret, and it’s Satin and Drayce’s book. Satin’s quiet, shy, and retiring sister Thistle is supposed to go and marry Drayce, prince of Trexotera. Satin decides that she’s going to take Thistle’s spot and go marry Drayce. That’s because she has always wanted to be a dragon warlord and ride a dragon. Her father wouldn’t hear of it, so her only way to do it is to take her sister’s place. When she gets to Trexotera, Drayce meets her and punishes her. Then he marries her. And we get to learn about the awesomeness that is a tail. Tails and spanking, pure awesome.

OK, the way that this works is that when a dragon feels a person is worthy, they gift the person and they are then turned into a warlord. One of the things to prove that they are a warlord is that they get a tail. Yup. A very flexible and talented tail. The warlords use their tails when it comes to sex. Pretty much anywhere the tail can go, it does. And at the end of it, there is a little barb that pops out when the tail owning person comes. It locks into their partner for a few minutes. Then there are Commanders who are warlords who have a dragon patch, which is a section of skin that looks and feels like dragon skin. Drayce is a Commander, and Satin becomes one as well.

Then we have The Warlord’s Priestess. Thistle is now on Trexotera and she has a new Daddy. Artemis rescued her and he knew as soon as he saw her that she was the one for him. Thistle was supposed to be the shy, quiet one, but Artemis has found out that she has quite a bit of fire in her, once she finds out that she has certain magics and can help out the dragons and their warlords. Thistle, Satin, and their friend and fellow warlord, Wish, manage to help when it comes to a huge confrontation in the war that Zelora started. Again, lots of spanking and fun tail sex. I’m in serious lust with the tails. I really want one. I mean, yeah. Imagine all the fun you could have with it.

Finally, we have Cloven’s Only Wish. Cloven and Wish’s relationship has gotten deeper. He’s her Dom, she’s his baby girl. Wish is strong, stubborn, has some issues with her temper, and very independent. The war with Zelora has heated up and Alistair has threatened the royal women of Trexotera, which means that they are all being kept under lock and key and heavy guard, which is difficult for all the women, but especially Wish, who has worked really hard to be the warlord that she is. The fact that their men are going off to war without them is really hard on all the women, and not good things happen.

Yeah, I know, it sounds vaguely vague in places, doesn’t it? That’s because if I go too much into any one book, I spoil the next one. Oh well, that means that you have to go buy them and read them. I wouldn’t read them as a standalone. They are all interconnected and if you miss one, you are going to miss out not only on the overall storyline but also the full story on each of the couples. Overall, I like the series, a lot. There are a few places that I don’t like, but that’s pretty typical. For example, I don’t really like Cloven much in the second book, but Megan rehabbed him and I liked him in his book. Even though I liked him in his book, there were a couple of times that he made me mad. It may sound like I’m picking on Cloven, but that’s just because I read his book yesterday, so he’s fresh in my mind. I’m hoping that there is more to come, I mean, Rosary and Willow should have their books too, don’t you think?

dragon

OK, I just have to say that I hate Alistair. I mean, he’s a serious prick. He hates his daughters, obviously, and he’s a jealous little prick. I thought that he was going to do terrible things to Gossamer, even more terrible than having her kidnapped and thrown into his prison. I’m pretty sure he’s not altogether in between the ears, especially after he takes the dragons.

The big punishment scene in Priestess wasn’t my fave. It wasn’t that it was hot, because it was. I understand why it was done the way that it was done, and it makes sense in the book, but for me, it took away a sense of support that I thought that the women needed. Of course, that may just be me projecting how I would feel on the characters. Of course, that’s just how I feel about it, and you may like it. And that’s totally awesome. There are probably parts that I liked that you didn’t. It all works out in the end, right?

Alright, I think that I’ve said all that I want to say today. Megan’s books aren’t on KU, but they are priced reasonably. Go check them out. Happy reading!
