Sexy Ménage
I won this book in a blog contest. The relationship buildup was good. The heroes built their relationship separately so the relationship was between all three of them. The bedroom scenes were hot with intriguing use of authoritative paraphernalia. The dryer scene was hilarious and the puns weren't bad either. I did think some of the wording was a bit harsher than it needed to be but overall a great read.

Control Inc., Wulfgang Style (A Divison of Schultz International) by Charlette Morgan
5 out of 5 Stars
S&M with a hint of Romance
If you are looking for a light-hearted romance, this is not the book for you. If you like a good BDSM book with realistic scenes, definitely check this book out. It is a little heavy on the S&M side, you've been warned. While I'm not normally into heavy S&M books, this story had just enough hint of romance to it. It was great that there was a real woman as the heroine, a mom with a life outside/before the lifestyle. I really enjoyed the retribution scene. The hero was an interesting mix. I don't really know how to classify him, but he was a good balance for the heroine.

Guarded for Pleasure (Pleasure Series 4) by Lacey Thorn
3 out of 5 Stars
Tough Heroine, Sexy Bodyguards
I won this book in a giveaway. I normally don't start a series at the end. This is book 4 in the series and I haven't read the first 3. The heroine in the story was on the run from a crazy, controlling ex. When the ex finds her, her neighbors (three sexy bodyguards interested in sharing her) help her out. When she contacts her friends, they come to find her. There was some issues with the time, it seemed like her friends showed up almost immediately after she called. Her friends end up saving her. The heroes weren't really involved in the resolution of the bad guy. The idea of the all female investigation agency was nice touch. I would liked to have found out if her friends eventually got over the issues they have from the crazy ex drama. It ended pretty neatly, all the loose ends tied up.

Mine to Take (Mine Series 1) by Cynthia Eden
4 out of 5 Stars
Intriguing
I waited to read Mine to Take until I also had Mine to Keep. I'm not a fan of cliffhangers, especially when it means I have months before I find out how it ends. I will say Mine to Take didn't leave its ending as a cliffhanger. It solved the mystery within the book. I wasn't as shocked as I expected to be about who did it but it was fun to follow the story. I enjoyed this one and would recommend it as a book you can read as a standalone.

Mine to Keep (Mine Series 2) by Cynthia Eden
3.5 out of 5 Stars
Surprising Villain
I received Mine to Keep in a giveaway from the author. 3.5 Stars. In the previous book the heroine's problem was solved, so in this one we see the baggage the hero brings to the table. It was nice to see a book where both the hero and the heroine struggle. Most books you only get to see the hero solving the heroine but guys bring pasts and baggage too and it was nice to see the other side. There were a number of time I really wanted to smack the heroine in the story tho. She did a number of things when in danger that I just had a hard time to swallow. If you know you are in danger why would you insist on going anywhere without your guards? Also she knew he was in charge of a security company, so why is she surprised he had her watched? He almost killed a guy for her as a teen! Her attitude when it came to his business was irritating. She's ok with it when it's in her benefit to use him (for thousands of dollars worth of security and upgrades pro bono) but not any other time? I have to say that the hero really shined in this one. I was very happy with him and loved his patience. I was really surprised by who one of the villains in this piece was. I was also really disappointed about the character's reason for doing it. It was a nice blend of the hero's past and paving the way for the rest of the team's books. I can't wait to read the next one.

Gentling the Cowboy (Texan Nights 1) by Ruth Cardello
5 out of 5 Stars
Great Book
I received this book as a prize for a giveaway. This is definitely a humorous read. Though there is some serious tragedy in the H/H background it doesn't detract from the hilarity that ensues. It seems all of the people affected by Sarah come out better; it's nice to have a romance where the heroine is the person saving everyone. The story was nicely paced and realistic about the fact that you can't help those that don't want to be helped and you can't push someone into accepting a reality they aren't ready for. This is absolutely a recommended read.
