CLICK TO PURCHASE! Jeremy Reed hears something outside. Being a vet., he figured it was an animal. As he opens his door he finds a man, muddy and in need of medical attention. He pulls him up to notice a tattoo of the death of a young lady on his back. Who could have done this to him, he thinks? Jeremy goes on to take care of this man, realizing he knows who this nice looking man is. He’s a detective and he has taken care of his dog, Raider. Brendan Wheeler was hurt and he was going to find out who did this to him and why.

I liked this story from Jaime Craig because you have drama in the beginning of the story. It starts with Brendan being kidnapped and Jeremy taking him in and caring for him. With the kidnapper still at large and this tattoo on his back, not knowing what was going to happen next, this story kept me on edge, I kept wondering when the kidnapper would make his next move and I liked that! The romance between the two gentleman starts slow, they need to get a hold of what has happened to Brendan. They deal with his issues of being kidnapped and the murder that makes Brendan angry. The story really takes off as the killer wants Jeremy and Brendan to pay for the crime of another person. It has drama, love and suspense. I’ll remember WEARING DEATH for months to come.

CLICK TO PURCHASE! Dante Frost, young CEO of Foster and Howe had to give up certain things in his private life. Like his regular visits to the BDSM club Switch. There he was a devoted and well-trained slave. He thought those days were all over until the annual Halloween party, where he meets a most intriguing mistress. Noelle Farinas is a very determined young lady. She works at Foster and Howe and when she is passed up for a promotion she looks for ways to prove to Dante that he made a big mistake. She finds out about his former Switch days and sets a plan in motion that will bring him to his knees in front of her. Thing is, she never planned to enjoy her session with him so much and is shocked and surprised when he asks for a more permanent arrangement between them.

This is a very hot story that will certainly leave lovers of the BDSM lifestyle panting for more. Jamie Craig graphically portrays the ways of a Dominatrix with her sub. Now, I don’t mind a bit of BDSM in my erotic stories. Some spanking, tying up and such, but when it comes to outright pain, which the characters enjoy, then for me this is going just a tad too far. But, having said that, I appreciate that there are many people who do live this lifestyle and will definately enjoy this story. The characters are charming, alive and believable, the plot is a page turner and the relationship between Dante and Noelle is hot! More than just the enjoyment of their BDSM sessions blooms between them and finally, Noelle has to come clean about why she approached him in the first place.

A love that knows no bounds, a passion so hot it consumed them and a trust so fragile it was destroyed in one swoop. For scientist Josh Ames, he did the unthinkable in the eyes of the science community: he fell in love with the shifters he was supposed to study, Cameron and Sara. With them he found a level of contentment and love that transcended the planes of existence; until Sara was kidnapped and lost to Cameron and Josh. Cameron and Josh race to find her and when they do, she is a shadow of her former self and their fragile trust is broken and battered. Can they find a way to heal Sara, heart, body and soul and become the unit they used to be? The key to her recovery is finding out who took her and why as they race against the clock as the ones who took her are intent on getting her back, no matter the cost!

TRINITY BROKEN is a story about two shifters and the man who falls in love with them. This reviewer was a little lost while reading TRINITY BROKEN. It was hard to care about these three characters and the story kept going back to the past in memories by individual characters as well as trying to keep the original story going. It was a jumble mess that seemed to go on forever with no ending in sight. The writing was tight and fast paced but overall, it couldn’t save the story itself.

You meet Sara and Cameron, two shifters being studied by Scientist Josh Ames. He falls for them and ends up leaving all that he knew behind and being with them. Fast forward two years. Now this reviewer got really confused after this because the story kept jumping all over the place, from past to present between the characters. It made it extremely hard to even care about the characters much less understands where they are coming from. With TRINITY BROKEN, the premise was good, the characters lacked personality, were one dimensional and didn’t captivate this reviewer to know more on them. This reviewer wished to know more about them without jumping back and forth between the present and past.
