BLOOD WILL BE SHED...

The ghosts of Donovan "Blade" Brookes' life are closing in on him.  

Hardened by an abusive childhood and haunted by the murder of his fiancĂ©, Blade struggles against the dark forces threatening to consume him.  When he helps Layla Reed in her hour of need, he has no idea she will be the light to his darkness.  As they spend more time together, he is powerless to fight his desire for her.  Powerless to fight his need for her.  However, as his feelings deepen, he pushes her away, reluctant to drag her into his world.  With enemies coming at him from all directions, Storm MC needing his help to fight off a rival, and his father still causing him grief, Blade needs the love of a good woman now more than ever.  Can Layla push Blade to the edge and get him to admit to both of them what he wants?  Or will the darkness pull him under once and for all?



     As we all know I am a huge MC fan. I have been following Nina since before Storm even released! I heard about it from a friend and stalked Amazon waiting for it. Each book is a bit beter than the one before. Blade has been an interesting character that was introduced, but didn't have a lot of action in the previous books. After reading Slay I can only say that that was an injustice to the world of Storm MC. If anything I think Blade needs to be added into EVERY scene! OMG...he is one hot man. While not a member of the MC, he is a part of the family. The bastard son of the president he has recently befriended his half brother and sister and is helping out with some difficult times with the MC (cough cough douchebag dad cough). 

     Layla is a strong independent woman who really doesn't need to be saved, but really...who can resist a hot and sexy knight in shining armor. Her story is enough to break your heart. I only wish we had gotten a little more of it. Overall, this book was a fine addition to the Storm family and I cannot wait to see what Nina comes up with next!

Laura Kaye's HARD TO COME BY Review





Caught between desire and loyalty…

Derek DiMarzio would do anything for the members of his disgraced Special Forces team—sacrifice his body, help a former teammate with a covert operation to restore their honor, and even go behind enemy lines. He just never expected to want the beautiful woman he found there.

When a sexy stranger asks questions about her brother, Emilie Garza is torn between loyalty to the brother she once idolized and fear of the war-changed man he's become. Derek’s easy smile and quiet strength tempt Emilie to open up, igniting the desire between them and leading Derek to crave a woman he shouldn’t trust.

As the team’s investigation reveals how powerful their enemies are, Derek and Emilie must prove where their loyalties lie before hearts are broken and lives are lost. Because love is too hard to come by to let slip away…



    Seriously, is there anyone who is not surprised that I loved this book?!?! I have been a huge fan of Laura Kaye since I read Heart in Darkness and every book she writes just gets better!!! We've been following the men of Hard Ink since they first got back together to find out what really happened to not only their teammates, but themselves. It's been a long road of betrayals and each new piece of information leads them a bit closer to the truth. Along the way with the heartache they are each finding love. Marz has been one of my favorites since the beginning and I have been impatient for his story. Laura did not disappoint! He is hot, self deprecating, and everything a man should be. His relationship with Emilie may start off shady, but this man knows what he wants and is not afraid to do what needs to be done to get it. 

    Each book leads us closer to the truth and there is a surprise around every corner. One of the things I love about this series is that a new reader could pick up any book in the series and love it as each story is solid in and of itself. But the over arching story line is what feeds my soul. I am dying for the next book, but I'm also a bit sad. I am not ready for this journey to end! If you are looking for a series that will enthrall you and keep you on the edge of your seat then you really need to check this one out. You will not be disappointed!

Praise for Hard to Come By:
"Rough sex and explosive fights power Kaye's third Hard Ink novel, a thrilling adventure that feels more like an action movie with a romantic subplot than a typical contemporary romance.

"TOP PICK! If you're looking for danger, gritty action, and sizzling passion, then Kaye has just the book and the series for you." ~RT Book Reviews Magazine

Entwined Life of Anna Part 2 by Marissa Honeycutt


Title: Entwined (The Life of Anna, Part 2)
Author: Marissa Honeycutt
Genre: Very Dark Paranormal Erotica
Publication Date: October 29, 2014



Anna has two masters, one she hardly knows, but who makes her feel safe, the other she's known all her life and says he needs her.
Alex wants her to be free.
Devin demands her obedience.
As Anna takes her first steps into the world, into love, into friendship, she wonders if she will ever understand either of them.


There is a subculture within our own world that you’ve only heard whispers of. The conspiracy theorists wish they knew Anna’s story. What the conspiracy theorists think they know is only put out there to keep them from the real story.


***NOTE***
This is not a stand-alone novel. This is the second of five novels that tell Anna’s story.


***WARNING***
This book is for grown-ups. This book is not for people who are easily offended, get nightmares easily, or have difficulty reading books about tough subjects. I do not glorify bad things, but bad things do happen to my poor characters. This is not your typical love story. My heroine does not fall in love and live happily ever after...at least not like the typical heroine. There is a happily ever after, but it is a long, painful journey to that end.
Anna’s story is told in five, novel-length books.
This book will likely offend you. This book might make you cry; it might make you throw up. It is a dark book. As my friend, Heidi, said, “It’s dark. It gets darker. It gets even darker, and then it gets even more darker. And then, just when you think it can’t get any darker, it does.”
But, don’t worry. I take you to the deep end gradually. ;)
There are many sexual situations in this series of books. People die. People get hurt. Things aren’t always truly the way they appear to be. The antagonist isn’t just a bad guy; he’s EVIL. My heroine’s worldview is skewed; things that may appall you are perfectly normal to her.
Any violence in this book is non-gratuitous and crucial to the plot and character development.
Do not read this if you are under the age of consent in your country. Do not get angry if the subject or actual book upsets you. If you're reading this, you've been warned.

***Disclaimer***
This book series is about a sex slave. Therefore, there is sex in it. Lots of sex (though I took a bunch out. lol). Other disclaimers: Physical abuse, emotional abuse, physical torture, sexual torture, rape, death, violence, violent rape, gang rape, anal sex, regular sex, violent sex, violent anal sex, sex with non-sexual objects, sex with sexual objects, m/f, m/m, f/f, m/f/m, orgies, bloody scenes, disturbing scenes, scenes that might make you throw up or cry, scenes that make my characters throw up and cry, mindfucks, cursing, drug use, multiple snuff scenes, disturbing rituals, manipulation, brain-washing, people in disturbing situations (duh!), imperfect heroes and evil antagonists doing evil things.

“If you do as I say, I won't hurt you. But either way, I am going to fuck you. Here and now.”
She pulled against him again. He wanted her to continue struggling, so she did. He grasped her hands in his and pulled them up over her head. Her back arched and her breasts jutted out.
He unzipped her dress and reached in to grasp her breasts, pinching and pulling her nipple. She whimpered at the pain. It really did hurt, but she could handle it. It's what she’d been trained for.
He pushed her forward and moved her hands to hold them against the wall. He pulled her skirt up and caressed her ass.
“God, what a great ass.” He moved closer and whispered in her ear. “You like taking cock in the ass, Anna?”
There had only been a few times that she'd enjoyed anal, and they had all occurred within the last few weeks.
She shook her head. “Please don’t. It hurts,” she begged. Thinking about the other men, Aaron included, made her heart ache. Having had someone care for her made this situation worse. She stopped acting and her pleas became real. “Please don't.”
He chuckled and moved her thong aside to caress her asshole. He pressed a finger through the tight band of muscle and she cried out, struggling to get away. She didn't want to feel the pain. She wanted to be cared for. She wanted to be with Aaron, not here at this hotel.
“So tight, Anna. Doesn't your ass ever get a workout?” He pushed in another finger as he asked the question.
Tears started running down her cheeks. She hoped he would at least use some sort of lubrication. Even her pussy; she was wet.
“Please don't dry-fuck me,” she whimpered.
“Maybe I'll be nice this time. I wouldn't want you bleeding all over your pretty dress.” He pulled his fingers out and shoved several unceremoniously into her pussy.
“Thank you,” she sobbed, pressing her forehead to the wall.
She heard the sound of his zipper and a moment later her pussy was filled with his cock. He thrust in and out a few times then pulled out and moved to her ass, pressing in without any more preparation than he'd already given her.
He let go of her hands and grasped her hips as he plundered her tight hole. Her fingernails dug into the wall as he fucked her ass hard and painfully. Though she wanted to scream, she held her tongue, except for the occasional cry or sob that escaped her mouth. He didn’t care if she came and she didn't exert the effort to do so.
His thrusts became sharper and he grunted as he approached his climax. Finally, he stiffened and groaned softly as he shot his load deep inside her ass. He pulled out when he was finished and let go of her hips.
Without his support, her legs collapsed under her and she slid down the wall to her knees, wincing as her ass hit her heels. Tears ran down her cheeks. She'd have to fix her makeup before she went back in.



Marissa's story of Anna began with a dream about being kidnapped with Adam Savage from Mythbusters (Yes, really). Over the next year and a half, it morphed into the story you will be reading soon. She has several other stories in progress, one of which is based on her kidnapped dream.

When she's not writing or editing, Marissa is taking care of two young boys, training to be an astronaut, running her household, wrestling with gorillas, playing around on Facebook, promoting whirled peas, and busting her tush for her accounting degree. She enjoys chocolate, air conditioning in the desert's summer heat, really good strawberry margaritas, sleeping, and shopping.
