★★★★! Yes Master (stand-alone). Army sergeant Ryan’s journey of sexual awakening & exploration while coming to terms with a sexually abusive childhood!
Sergeant Major Ryan Jenkins is a lost and broken man, a functioning, binging alcoholic tormented and confused by constant dreams a flashbacks of the sexual abuse he endured as a child. Seven words to describe Ryan: Tormented, broken, conflicted, confused, naïve, protective and lovable.
Ryan is also a father, an ex-husband and a career army man. In his day-to-day job and with his daughter he sticks to a rigid routine, while his home, mind and emotions are in disarray. Something is about to happen that will forever change his life… knock his carefully carved-out existence off its axis…
Mason Carter is Ryan’s childhood friend. He grew up to be a huge movie star, but battled drug addictions for years until just a few years prior when he met Stella and was able to turn his life around. Six words to describe Mason: Caring, charming, loyal, self-assured, confident and submissive.
Stella Hartley’s part will unfold with story, but I can tell you this: She is an imposing presence; a successful doctor and a Domme. She helped Mason with his drug addiction and she will set out to help Ryan. Seven words to describe Stella: Commanding, successful, loyal, perceptive, self-assured, smart and nurturing.
Yes Master is Ryan’s story told through his POV in flashbacks and present time as Mason comes to town to visit and attend a fundraiser. He introduces Ryan to Stella and so his journey of healing begins involving gruesome flashbacks as Ryan with Stella and Mason’s help set out to heal.
It’s also Ryan’s sexual awakening and exploration featuring m/m/f, m/m, m/f and f/f along with BDSM. That’s all I should reveal as Ryan’s story is best experienced. Story ends with Ryan happy and with one person. It also leaves the door open for a sequel about one of the main characters.
My only gripe would be that Ryan’s flashbacks, though illustrating his of tormented state of mind well, were confusing/not clearly marked forcing me to go back to check for the last actual event.
The perfect build-up sexual tension followed by off-the-charts sexual scenes! A compelling hero! A thought-provoking and profound plot and journey! A message of hope!
Would I recommend this book: Yes. Would I re-read this book: Maybe later. Would I read future books by this author: Yes.

THANKS FOR MY ARC!
Stand-alone LIVE! | AMZ US | AMZ UK | Blurb: Carlos A cartel king. My throne is made of lies, blood, and revenge... Faking my own death is my only chance of escape. But when I run to my sister with the naive hope of never being found, I didn't expect them. A beauty and her son. I promised her casual. But lies are easy for a man like me. And when I get my way, she won't be able to let me go... If my past doesn't find me first. Holly Trouble magnet. It's followed me all my life no matter how far or how fast I run. I've uprooted my precious little boy's life in the hopes of escape. Instead, I've landed us straight in trouble's arms...literally. They're strong and protective and as dangerous as they are safe. My son comes first. My pleasure comes second. I swore I wouldn't get my heart tangled up... Turns out I'm in serious trouble.

Mob heiress gets her knickers wrapped up in Ex-marine and gun runner with a gifted tongue!
Books in Mafia Made series are stand-alones, but most enjoyed if read in order: Book 1: The Gun Runner Book 2: Untitled
The Gun Runner (stand-alone, book 1) opens up to mob heiress, Terra Agrioli being rescued from a vengeful and violent ex by a chivalrous and handsome stranger.
Ex-marine and gun runner Michael Tripp, Tripp acted on instinct and years of combat training when he saw a lady in distress. He’s moved into town to run his growing gun trafficking empire skating on the edge of the law, but trying to steer clear of the town’s mob boss.
When their paths cross again they fall into an easy flirty friendship with promises of more. Their sexual attraction is intensified by Michael’s thirty-day rule of no intercourse.
To help hold them over Michael is happy to lend a hand, a finger and his tongue… eventually culminating in explosive hot sex neither can walk away from. But their connection will quickly be complicated by Terra’s connection to the mob.

Ten words to describe Michael Tripp, Tripp: Commanding, noble, fair, honest, sexy, easy-going, in-control, strong, perceptive, and dirty-talker.
[image]
Seven words to describe Terra Agrioli: Smart, deceptive, spoiled, nurturing, meek, observant, romantic and compliant.
The Gun Runner, told from dual POV, is a fast paced, scorching hot mixture of smut, romance and suspense complicated by lies and deceit. It ends on a high, but I would welcome an epilogue further into their future. I suspect that next-coming books will give us glimpses.
Dirty-talking chivalrous hero! Suspenseful plot! Fast-paced and easy-flowing story-telling!
Would I recommend this series: Yes. Would I re-read this series: Maybe later. Would I read future books by this author: Yes.

★★★ ½! Layers Deep, book 1 (3). CEO & rookie police officer set out to uncover each other’s secrets while on a risky mission!
Layers Deep (book 1) opens up to rookie police officer Allie Green attending a meeting at her precinct. Cross Enterprises is looking to hire and her employer has allowing its CEO/Partner Tristan Cross to hand out applications (odd!).
Allie doesn’t apply for the job and later encounters Tristan at a bar where he tries to recruit her yet again. He knows entirely too much about her maybe even her secret. As it turns out both Allie and Tristan have secrets and an agenda. Allie is set on revenge and Tristan on righting a wrong.
Soon they find themselves peeling off the layers of each other secrets as well as clothing as they get hot and heavy in the bedroom. All while on a dangerous mission.
Six words to describe Allie Green: Smart, determined, immature, conflicted, confident and reckless.
Layers Deep ended with a cliffy so it’s a good idea to have book 2, Layers Peeled handy. Story had a bit of the insta-thing going. I also had several logistics and time line issues, such as why/how did Tristan zero in on Allie? I’m jumping over to my ARC of book 2, for some answers and the conclusion to their story.
Scorching sex scenes with a very skilled and accommodating Tristan! Suspenseful and dangerous plot! And after that cliffy I’m rooting for Tristan and Allie to get their HEA! 3.5 stars!

★★★★ 1/2! The Wild Side, part 1 of 3. What starts off as sexual awakening & obsession for 40-year old divorce quickly turns into much more!
At first glance The Wild Side (part 1) is a story about a midlife crisis of sorts. 40-year old successful writer and divorce, Alasdair Masters, Dair gave up on his social life and became a recluse after being cheated on. He is going about his daily routine of working out and taking care of his body when a mysterious young girl, Iris starts timing her workouts to his followed by blatant come-ons. Alasdair fights his attraction, but quickly succumbs and pretty much becomes a rutting horn dog.
Needless to say their sex is off-the-charts…
But as I was getting to this story is so much more than that! Alasdair, from a privileged background had an horrible adolescence and upon marrying at age eighteen an unsatisfying marriage, details to unfold with story. As story progresses we are given a better understanding why a man as handsome, successful, kind, and caring would become sex obsessed forgoing all common sense.
The Wild Side is about sexual awaking and finding oneself. Strap on your seatbelt, bumpy road ahead!
I am hoping as the story progresses and Alasdair Masters, Dair finds himself and his self-confidence we’ll see more of his alpha side. Currently he has been lead around by his cock. Seven words to describe Dair: Charismatic, insecure, self-depraving, broken, complex, lovable and focused.
Iris is an enigma, but hopefully we’ll learn more about her in part 2. Seven words to describe Iris: Secretive, elusive, captivating, caring, seductive, charismatic and slippery.
The Wild Side is very much a wild ride of sexual exploration and borderline obsession. Story moves at breakneck speed only to come to a shocking, yet expected cliff-hanger. I cannot wait for more of their story to unfold in, part 2, Iris.
Interesting and unusual plot! Mind-blowing and wild sex! Endearing and sexy hero! A very mysterious heroine! I am hooked!

Books in the Van Den Bosch duet should be read in order: Book 1: Roxanne. Book 2: Andries.
Andries Van Den Bosch, heir to a legacy is embarking on his University studies when he meets the mysterious and sophisticated Roxanne. It starts as an innocent encounter and a shared love for poetry, but soon neither Andries nor Roxy can deny nor fight their attraction despite their differences in age, financial status and family culture.
A roller-coaster of deceit, lies, envy, secrets and powerful forces that will stop at nothing to tear them apart. Yet the biggest enemies might come from within.
Fate makes its play, destiny intervenes, and a budding love starts to unravel! I cannot wait for book 2 and the conclusion to their story.
