Down London Road by Samantha Young (On Dublin Street #2) Penguin (May 2013) Paperback, 407 Pages Contemporary Erotic Romance Having devoured On Dublin Street in a matter of a few days, I was more than giddy at the prospect of reading Down London Road. As with its predecessor, Down London Road continues with a story that is an emotional rollercoaster ride that by the end of the book you are exhausted but happy that everything worked out in the end. True, for those few days, I once again sacrificed sleep…

At only 74 or so pages, Dryden manages to pack a lot in. There’s hot sex, love, zombie killing and a doc who’s trying to find a cure.

Blacque/Bleu by Belinda McBride (Arcada #1) Loose Id (Oct 2010) Ebook, 220 pages Erotic M/M Paranormal Romance Blacque/Bleu is a pretty good erotic m/m paranormal romance. I liked the author’s writing style although there wasn’t as much depth to the overall story as I would have liked. The book definitely focuses much more on the sex than the plot, but it was a fun read. The characters are very likeable, and the sex scenes were quite well done and sexy. Blacque is a werewolf mechanic and Bleu, who works in the…
After Hours by Cara Mckenna Intermix Publishing (April 2010) Ebook, 270 pages | Erotic Romance After Hours has a really interesting premise: an erotic romance set predominantly in and around a mental institution is guaranteed to catch your attention. The setting could have really detracted from the romantic aspect of the story, by bringing up such a serious issue, but instead it just seemed to heighten the effectiveness of the relationship between the two main characters, Erin and Kelly. Erin is a woman who has lived her life for other people, and who is…
Dirty (Dan & Ellie #1) by Megan Hart Mills & Boon (Spice) (June 2009) Ebook, 432 pages | Contemporary Erotic Romance I started reading Megan Hart a couple of months ago, when I came across her erotic horror serial The Resurrected. I wondered how on earth two such different genres would work, but they really did. This was down to Hart’s great writing style which I instantly fell in love with. I’d heard a lot about her erotic romances, so thought I’d try one out. Dirty was a completely addictive read. From…
The Prince (The Original Sinners #3) by Tiffany Reisz | Mills & Boon (Sept 2012) Paperback, 410 pages Contemporary Erotic Romance Warning: contains spoilers for first two novels in series Having finished The Angel, I moved quickly on to The Prince, desperate to find out where the numerous loose plotlines would go. However, while I expected this to concentrate on the blossoming romance between Nora and Wes, I was pleasantly surprised that in fact the majority of the book was about the complex and extremely dark relationship between Soren and Kingsley, the…
The Angel (The Original Sinners #2) by Tiffany Reisz | Mills & Boon (Sept 2012) Paperback, 410 pages Contemporary Erotic Romance Warning: contains spoilers from first book in series After the brilliant The Siren, Reisz had set the bar really high for herself in the second book in this new tantalizingly erotic series. Thankfully Reisz more than meets the challenge and again demonstrates a flair for balancing steamy sex scenes with a very compelling plot. In fact, it is the plotline in this book that really pulled me into the story….
The Siren (The Original Sinners #1) by Tiffany Reisz Mills & Boon (Jan 2012) | Paperback, 432 pages Contemporary Erotic Romance If you are a regular reader, you’ll know how much I despised Thirty Shades of Grey. So whenever I read a tag line stating that this book is better than Thirty Shades I am more than a bit cautious. To all of you I say, this book more than deserves the accolade because this book is just one of those reads that you HAVE to read on. From the first page…
The Perfect Play (Play by Play #1) by Jaci Burton Berkley Heat (Feb 2011) | Paperback, 324 pages Contemporary Erotic Romance Every so often, I like to mix things up and read something that is just pure escapism. In times like these I turn to something a bit more “steamy” and is as different from my usual fare as possible. The Perfect Play is a book that is so hot and steamy, it really should come with a hazard warning. It literally led me to having to take a cold shower….
Tremble (Part 3) by Tobsha Learner Piatkus Entice (July 2012) | Ebook, 399 pages Erotic Romance This is the final part of my review on the collection of short stories in Tremble and I have to say that on the whole the collection has ended on a rather high note. There was only one story that I didn’t really like. Read on to find out which one it was. CUSTODIAN For me this was another highlight to the collection. It had a very similar theme to The Picture of Dorian Gray, where…
Dark Soul: The Complete Collection by Aleksandr Voinov Riptide Publishing (Oct 2011) | Kindle Edition, 310 pages Erotic Romance | M/M Romance Ok, this is a genre I haven’t read before. In fact the only novel that comes close is Laid Bare by Lauren Dane. But to be honest, Dark Soul is a completely different kettle of fish. Firstly it’s m/m and secondly the sex scenes are totally out of my comfort zone – but boy, was this book good! I heard about Dark Soul and the author from a fellow blogger…
Tremble (Part 2) by Tobsha Learner Piatkus Entice (July 2012) | Ebook, 399 pages Erotic Romance So after a pretty positive start (see Part 1′s Review here), it’s now on to the next three in a collection of nine. Its a pretty mixed bag and out of the three there was only one really stand out story. Read on to see why… VIRGIN I had really high hopes for this story, for it was all about the loss and regaining of faith. The Nun in question is a young woman named Clarrissa….
Tremble (Part 1) by Tobsha Learner Piatkus Entice (July 2012) | Ebook, 399 pages Erotic Romance When Carolyn passed me this anthology, I didn’t know what to expect. It’s tagged as The Thinking Woman’s Erotica, so having abandoned Fifty Shades of Grey, I decided to give this a shot. I was going through a reading slump, where I had over endulged in all things paranormal and really needed a change. Somehow, the fates conspired against me, for this collection certainly has paranormal elements to each of the shorts. This is the first…
