Samantha Winterbourne loses her mother and her prospects for making ends meet are dismal when her rich grandfather reluctantly agrees to help her find a job back East. Samantha doesn’t want to move near the family and friends that snubbed her mother when she married ‘beneath her station’, but a girl needs to eat. Enter Tera Carlisle, old school chum of her mother’s, and her husband Evan. She offers Sam a personal assistant job and Sam chokes out an agreement. Soon she’s taking up her new duties, but before too many months pass she discovers something startling about her employers. Taking her metaphorical balls in hand, Sam sexually dominates Mrs. Carlisle while Mr. Carlisle is away and when she has Tera well in hand she goes after Evan. Tera is a guppy and Evan is a shark. Is Sam biting off more than she can chew?

Oh, my. This is one steamy read. The steamy yummy bits take awhile to get to, but they are worth it if you like M/f, F/f, domination and humiliation. Sam is gutsy and pretty much a take no prisoners kind of gal, but she’s a little too…much, I guess, for me. When she goes after Evan I was like, “Are you out of your fucking mind?!” Wow. She’s definitely ballsy. Or has a death wish. And she enjoys pain too much for my tastes. Anyway, this is a great read that will keep you wriggling in your seat.

It’s been centuries since the war between cyborgs and humans, a war that forced humans underground. Imogenne and her people survive fairly well, coming out for occasional night raids looking for supplemental food and avoiding the Wroks. On the verge of being married off to a man she doesn’t love, Imogenne is restless. She’s not like the other women. She has strange erotic dreams and her sexual appetite is large. She doesn’t understand what is so different about her until the night she is captured in a Wrok raid. Wroks, a mixture of biological and mechanical, have been stealing women in the hopes of finding some to mate with and have children. So far all of the women who mate with a Wrok go insane from the mating. Yoevin, leader of the Wroks, is growing desperate to save his people from extinction. He knows there are certain women out there who can mate with a Wrok and not go insane, but he’s losing hope of finding them. Until he captures Imogenne. She is different, but is she different enough to make his own?

A dark and yummy dystopian erotica. What a combination, but it works! Imogenne is the result of a few centuries of evolution. She is just what the Wroks need to have children. But Yoevin is torn. He needs her to mate with all the available Wroks for the best chance to produce a child, but he wants her, needs her only for himself. Disregarding protocol he treats Imogenne differently from all the other women they have captured.

Imogenne isn’t a bad character, but I felt that Yoevin was more fully developed. I could really feel his struggle to do what was best for his people as a leader and what he selfishly wanted to do for himself. His appearance is frightening, but the pheromones and Imogenne’s own sexual appetite work to bring these two together. And the steamy scenes? Wowzers! This story isn’t going to be for everyone even if you like erotica. It’s dark, there’s captive sex, the guy is far from human looking and the sex is brutal at times. But there’s something else, too. The beginnings of love and hope for a new world.

A woman walking down the street with a couple of duffel bags decides to lighten her load. Something about a prostitute draws her eye and she makes the decision to give a bag to her. When she approaches the thin woman the prostitute shows her to a ratty apartment and demands payment up front. The anonymous woman pays and then explains she only wanted to give away her duffel bag full of clothes. The prostitute gets angry, but soon the two women are exploring each other in every which way they can.

This is a wonderfully written story, but it wasn’t really my type of thing. While f/f isn’t my usual read, I don’t mind reading stories with woman on woman and the steamy parts are definitely steamy. The part that’s not really my thing is the introspection that goes on. In other words, this story was too deep for me. I know, I’m shallow, but I love me anyway. *winks*

Sonya is a Guardian Angel and Nimbus is a Fallen and an incubus. When they were both angels Sonya considered Nimbus her best friend. When he joined Lucifer she was devastated. Thousands of years have gone by since his fall and still she loves him even though he’s a demon and has done evil. When Nimbus arranges her fall, she fights against him even though she craves to give into him. It’s easy to fight an enemy. Not so easy to fight yourself or the one you love.

This is a wonderfully written paranormal erotica story. The emotional roller coaster that Sonya rides is fascinating to watch and while Nimbus is a demon filled to the brim with evil he has a soft spot for Sonya the size of the Universe. The BDSM scenes are varied and at times brutal for those who prefer lighter erotica yet they are still wonderfully written.

The reason that I gave this only 3.5 is because I’m coming to realize that submissive stories told from the sub’s POV aren’t really my favorite. I am not a submissive in any way. I much prefer reading from the Dominant’s POV and though this story does switch between Sonya and Nimbus, the majority is told from Sonya’s POV. Plus, Sonya’s constant vacillating between submitting and running away started to get on my nerves. I am curious as to where this series is headed since the ending took me by surprise. What is Sonya going to do next and how will she fare in her new role?
