BY THE TAIL
releases today!!
Available at Amazon| Barnes and Noble | Kobo | iTunes | Samhain
It’s more than whether you win or lose; it’s how you play with your prey.
Joy Bermin’s sweet crush on Quince Castille went sour when he got involved with a psychotic feline who nearly destroyed the pride. That bastard is dead, but now Quince is trying to convince her he had nothing to do with it.
She’s been doing her best to ignore him, but the stubborn panther is always underfoot. When he tricks her into seeing how good things could really be between them, she’s stuck between dismay and desire.
Just when Quince was ready to prove his love for Joy, that mess with the pride shot his credibility all to hell. Trickery is the only way to break her resistance and show her the truth. And holy hell, that woman could melt steel with her heat.
Between trying to pin her down and dealing with upstart cats out to destroy what he’s worked so hard to rebuild, Quince is through playing by the rules. Whatever it takes to make Joy his mate, it’s on the table. And God help anyone who gets in his way.
Warning: The Miami heat may induce passion, trickery, feline sunbathing, stubborn brothers bossing around temperamental sisters, and a cat smackdown of epic proportions.

BEYOND PAIN (Book 3 in the Beyond series) by Kit Rocha – New Release, Recommendation & Review
BEYOND PAIN by Kit Rocha
BLURB
A woman with no future…
Live fast, die young–anything else is a fantasy for Six. She’s endured the worst the sectors had to throw at her, but falling in with Dallas O’Kane’s Sector Four gang lands her in a whole new world of danger. They’re completely open about everything, including their sexuality–but she hasn’t survived this long by making herself vulnerable. Especially not to men as dominant as Brendan Donnelly.
A man without a past…
Bren is a killer, trained in Eden and thrown to the sectors. His one outlet is pain, in the cage and in the bedroom, and emotion is a luxury he can’t afford–until he meets Six. Protecting her soothes him, but it isn’t enough. Her hunger for touch sparks a journey of erotic discovery where anything goes–voyeurism, flogging, rough sex. He has only one rule: he won’t share her.
In Bren’s arms, Six is finally free to let go. But his obsession with the man who made him a monster could destroy the fragile connection they’ve forged, and cost him the one thing that makes him feel human–her love.
MY REVIEW
Beyond Pain is the 3rd book in the series by the Kit Rocha girls.
I have been looking forward to reading BP since I finished Beyond Control and jeez, the ladies have made it well worth the wait.
Donna & Bree have outdone themeselves with Beyond Pain. The story was XXXX HOT and then some….. this book is seriously sexy and hits us with doses of exhibitionism, voyeurism, menage and kink.
The Sector 3 story that started in BC continues in BP – we get more of an insight into the wider world of the sectors and we meet new characters that I’m sure will crop up again as the series continues.
Dallas & Lex are kept busy with Sector business as things are moving at a pace. Bren has been given the task of starting to look over Sector 3 and this takes Six back to a world she is trying to forget. There’s a lot of action and a fair share of violence…
BP revolves around Bren & Six and their developing relationship.
Six has been used, abused and mentally beaten and is a whole lot broken. Her self worth is non existant and she feels kinda lost in the new world she finds herself in in Sector 4. After all she suffered at the hands of Trent, she doesn’t trust anyone anymore – except, it seems – to some degree, Bren.
Bren is an awesome character – hard as hell but with Six he is quiet, patient and caring. He does everything he can to get her to fully trust him and to start believing in herself again – never pushing and leaving her to make her own choices. He is kinda broken himself after his own experiences in Eden and we see how his growing relationship with Six affects him throughout the book.
As you would expect with a Beyond book, the sex is extremely hot but in BP there isn’t the group sexfest we experienced in BC.
There are more than a few smokin’ hot scenes – with 2 or 3 in particular that curled my toes in the best way possible!!!!!
The usual favourites are all featured and at points we are treated to the POV of a few individuals that added an interesting spin on the book & series and gives us a little glimpse into possible stories to come.
Beyond Pain for me is a 5* read. I love this series and everything about it!!
I cannot wait for Beyond Jealousy – that’s gonna be another scorcher of a read!!!

New Release & Recommendation – Tied and True by Marie Harte
TIED AND TRUE
Lindsay Riordan has had it with the rumors and innuendo that dog her professional steps. Being born a blond should not automatically designate her the office bimbo. So when she overhears the sexy new office wunderkind spouting untruths about her, she decides on some payback.
Jared Hunter is a man on a mission, but his mission is proving to be a lot harder to complete than he’d expected. He couldn’t have anticipated that in the course of finding the truth, he’d wake up to find himself tied naked and spread-eagled on his bed, and that the person behind his restraint would be none other than the woman he’s been lusting after since he first saw her. A woman who’s got vengeance on the brain. What’s a guy to do when he’s fit to be tied?

New Release, Review & Recommendation – Love In Electric Blue by Marie Harte
BLURB:
It’s more than chemistry, more than love: it’s electric.
Remy Davis does her best to live in the now, never sure when she’ll be forced to run again. She loves her work at Buchanan Investigations—there’s no better place for a woman with her special talent for controlling electricity—but she knows better than to let down her guard. And then everything changes when a man from her past, the man she never stopped loving, reappears in her life.
J.D. never thought he’d see the girl he’d once loved, the woman he thought had betrayed him. The chemistry he and Remy once felt is as strong as ever. Old wounds need time to heal, but time is running out on second chances.
A villain bent on returning them to his twisted experiments has resurfaced. But this time J.D. won’t let Remy face the madman alone: he’ll harness every ounce of his abilities to rescue the one woman who turns electric in his arms.
REVIEW:
‘Love in Electric Blue’ is book 3 in the Westlake Enterprises series from the extremely talented Marie Harte…..
This is Remy & J.D’s story. Both are IT specialist working for private investigation firms – Remy with Buchanan Investigations and J.D with Westlake Enterprises. As with the other employees at both companies, the pair have psychic abilities – in this case both can manipulate electricity!!
With a joint history that, in the main, isn’t a happy one, Remy & J.D are thrown together again when both of their lives are threatened by a common enemy.
There is a lot of pain & hurt, a distinct lack of trust, misunderstandings, regret and a not small amount of conflicted feelings that the pair need to plow wheir way through before they can work together to ensure their safety. Sparks fly (quite literally) in this Westlake adventure and things start to heat up quickly!
The bad guy has a serious screw loose and isn’t going to give up easily… There’s a lot of action, mystery, suspense, a few twists and a touch of violence. As we’ve come to expect from Marie, there’s also laugh out load humour, a load of passion, lust & attraction as well as some really hot down and dirty action!!!
Remy & JD are a great, well matched couple and I really enjoyed reading their story. We meet up with some familiar – Max, Cole, Luc and Thorne from Buchanans as well as Hunter & Jurek from Westlake to name a few! I love this series and hopefully Marie will bring us more books following our other favourite Buchanan & Westlake characters…
If you fancy a good, entertaining read with more than an edge of tension & tons of heat pick up the Westlake Enterprise series and enjoy!!!

New Release & Recommendation – UNLEASH (VET series #6) by Felicity Heaton
UNLEASH – VET #6
BY FELICITY HEATON
REVIEW:
I’ve been a big fan on the VET series from Felicity Heaton since I read the first book, Covet!!
UNLEASH is SNOW’S story and is, sadly, the 6th and final book involving the Vampirerotique Theatre and the group of vampires that live and work there! Fans of Felicity’s books & the girls over at her Mistress of Midnight Street Team have waited a good while for the big guys story but gods, I’m sure they’d all agree it was well worth it!!!!
Snow has been involved in each of the VET characters books from the beginning and we have watched as he fought hard to overcome his bloodlust & try to lead as good & quiet a life as he could – not easy to live when you need to be chained hand and foot to a bed on an almost daily basis to avoid hurting yourself and/or others!!!
In Unleash we find out about Snow’s past, what has happened in his very long life and the tragic events that led to him being so tortured & haunted. We discover why his brother, Antoine, worries about him so much and we find that there may just be a small glimmer of hope for his future!!!
This is a true love story – however, it was no bed of roses or all heart and flowers!!!- No – reading Snow’s story was absolutely heartbreaking at times!! I cried (a lot) from nearly the beginning of the book and used up a not so small pile of tissues throughout!!! Aurora – Snow’s lady love – is not what you’d expect and she has quite a sad tale to tell too!
I was so torn about the fact that Snow’s story was the final book in the series as, while I was desperate to read it, I was sad that this was the end of our time with everyone at the theatre…. Thankfully, Felicity has hinted that this might not be the last we that we come across our vampires and their ‘family’!!
We get a chance to see all of our favourite characters for one last time!! This was a fabulous finale to a wonderful series and for me it’s a definite 5* read
While you could most likely read Unleash as a standalone , I honestly think that to enjoy it fully you should read the rest of the series in order. Hope you love them as much as I did!!!!

Review & Recommendation – UNLEASH (VET Book #6) by Felicity Heaton
UNLEASH – VET Book #6 – by FELICITY HEATON
BLURB
Enter the dark, sinful and seductive world of the vampire owners of London’s premier vampire erotic theatre, Vampirerotique, and discover how these powerful vampires are brought to their knees by the women who claim their hearts.
A powerful vampire lost deep in his bloodlust, Snow is a savage animal, mindless with rage and a thirst for violence, and trapped with no hope of awakening from an endless nightmare… until a song draws him up from the abyss, restoring his sanity but leaving him haunted by the sweet feminine scent of lilies and snow, and fragmented familiar lyrics.
When the mysterious and beautiful songstress reappears in Snow’s room at Vampirerotique, she awakens a fierce protective streak and stirs dark desires that drive him to claim her as his female, even when he knows his touch will destroy her innocence.
A single forbidden taste is all it takes to unleash emotions in Aurora that she shouldn’t possess, tearing her between duty and desire, and luring her into surrendering to her wildfire passion and embracing hungers that burn so hotly they threaten to consume them both.
One act of kindness can lead to one thousand acts of sin though, each a black mark against the bearer’s soul and another grain of sand that slips through an hourglass. The clock is ticking and time is almost up. Can beauty save the beast?
