CLICK TO PURCHASE! BREAKING SKYE by Eden Bradley
Skye Ballard takes out an ad hoping to find a Dom who will cure her desires to submit – but just for one night. She believes one night is all it will take for her fantasies to be fulfilled.
When she meets Adam Dunne, Skye knows she’s met her man. He’s just dripping with sexual appeal. Adam agrees to teach her how to be submissive only on his terms.
Once Adam takes Skye under his wing, will he be able to release this sub to another Dom or will he keep her for his own?
Ms. Bradley works her magic with BREAKING SKYE. She brings her characters to life in the first paragraph, hooking the reader immediately. Skye is a strong heroine who wants to explore the deeper side of sex. Once she begins her training she’s not too sure she’s up for the challenge, but when Adam leaves her hanging on the brink of satisfaction, she learns a lot about herself.
Adam is tall, dark and oh-so-sexy. He left me breathless right along side of Skye.
SUBMISSIVE SECRETS by Eliza Gayle
Carli comes home tired after a long day to find a man naked in her bed. Here’s the chance she’s waited eight long years to show him how much she’s missed him. She’s regretted leaving him the day before their wedding, every day. But she harbors a secret – the reason she left him in the first place.
Aidan’s on a mission – to uncover Intel secrets. He doesn’t want to spend any more time then necessary with Carli. He’d been hurt deeply by her quick exit. When he comes across her deepest, darkest, desires while searching her apartment will he have a change of heart?
This reviewer is a huge fan of Eliza Gayle, but this story left me disappointed. There was a premise to the story that I felt was forgotten about along the way. The heroine and hero had undeniable chemistry and when they came together, sparks flew. The sexual tension and combattery was amazing and engaging. It felt like the premise was pushed aside for sex. In this reviewer’s opinion, I would have liked to see the story finished. And the tons of questions I have answered.
CUPID’S CAPTIVE by Reese Gabriel
John Cupid lives by certain rules, but the most important? There is no such thing as falling in love. And for this Dom it’s all about playing and John Cupid has many women longing to play. There’s nothing sexier than a submissive obeying him. When John’s work partner and best friend Carl persuades him to keep tabs on his younger sister for the night, John finds himself with his hands full.
Steffy Hayes has been in love with her “uncle” John for as long as she can remember. After overhearing a conversation between John and her brother Carl Steffy sets out to be everything John is looking for. Will John be able to resist her charms? Will Steffy convince John there is such a thing as love?
Mr. Gabriel claims to be an expert in BDSM and who is this reviewer to argue? CUPID’S CAPTIVE has proven to this reader that Mr. Gabriel does know his way around BDSM and very well. The Dom/Submissive scenes are intense, riveting and oh so breathtaking. From the first sentence you’re drawn to the hero John. Mr. Gabriel shows you a softer side to this strong, sexy Dom. The heroine Stephanie or “Steffy”, as she called throughout the story is one strong-willed woman. At twenty-one she’s wise beyond her years. She knows what she wants and determined to succeed in winning the affection of John.
LISTEN TO ME by Alessia Brio
This three page snippet is about two nameless people who are engaging foreplay. One is blindfolded while the other is controlling the situation. The one in control has a secret, but is waiting for the right moment.
I must say, as a reviewer this was the first time I was thoroughly confused by a story and disappointed. I was distracted by the need to figure out if they were male or female. I couldn’t connect with the characters because I wasn’t sure who they were and weren’t given any names. That’s not to say that given more of the story I wouldn’t have liked it. In my opinion had we been given more of the story it would have answered the questions running through my mind.
