A couple of new releases. Forbidden Taste and Punishing Little Honor. Both are part of a series but they can be read as standalone.


Forbidden Taste

Jericho: As the man of the house, I tried to do the honorable thing. I really did. I told myself she was too young. Too innocent. And I was a dirty old man for even looking. I was able to refuse, but a man can only take so much temptation before he has to have a taste of the forbidden...

Rose: I tried seducing him. I paraded myself around him in short shorts and bikinis. As the man of the house, he's forbidden to me according to the rules, but I don't care. He's honorable and refuses my innocence until danger comes to call and I almost died... 







Punishing Little Honor

Honor: I've wanted him forever, but I'm too shy to make a move. Besides, I'm certain no-one will ever want me when they discover my secret.

Razor: I'm well aware of Honor's secret. She thinks to lie to me about it, I'll teach her a lesson about lying and then I'll make her mine.

Contains very light elements of ageplay, including diapering.

Kazimir Petrov of WIP to Dr. Seth Green, hero of Dirty Nasty Things & Sick

I'm an author. I write romance. Why? Because I love romance novels. When I read a romance (because I love romance novels) I expect at least one thing. All I want when I get to the end of a book is for the couple/s to be together. When that doesn't happen, I get a bit upset. As in, throwing my kindle against the wall upset. I swear, every book I read now by an author I'm not familiar with, I'll be flipping to the last page to be sure the hero and heroine are together and alive before I invest hours of my time getting to know them. Ugh.

True Control by Willow Madison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

True Control is 5 controlled stars!

I am not sure how the author has done it, but she pulled this book off in a big way. This book shows the sheer breadth of this authors talent. I stand in awe of such tremendous talent.

This is one of those books I really don't want to spoil for anyone because what happens within those pages is a journey each person should travel themselves with no interference. Yep, it's that good.

In the effort not to spoil, I will tell you I read midway and had to put my Kindle down because I was sobbing like a baby. My husband still gives me odd looks, haha. My heart broke reading this book. It shattered but then it mended again. I knew joy and peace once again by the end of this book.

If you haven't read the books, start with book 1 of this series, True Nature. You truly will not regret reading this series. Willow Madison is an author with heart and soul and she pours those qualities into her writing, making this book a breathing, living thing that grabs you by the throat.

This story has an HEA though it is not the HEA you might expect. I do promise you won't leave this book heartbroken, the author takes care of your emotions and leaves you smiling at the end.

In the end... I love my Max still, always will, but now I have to add that I also love Jake. I'm such a book slut. haha.

Accepting His Proposal by Willow S. Brooks
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Review to be more elaborate when I've had time to wrap my head around how this book made me feel.

For now... I had to create a new shelf for this book called huge man parts. I gladly created that shelf because this book... wowsa, did it deliver in a very, very, very good way.

Thanks WillowB!

I had a lot recommendations for this book by WillowM and finally got around to it and I must say, it's one I'll be coming back to again and again and ah, ahem, bookmarking to read ahem, certain parts.

True Choices by Willow Madison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another winner from Willow Madison. 5 bleeping stars!

In this book, the third in the series, we see Lucy punished more and become even more immersed in the life that Max offers her. I feel bad for Lucy at times but ultimately, she is where she wants to be. It’s as simple as that. And I want her to stay with Max, too, cuz I love me some Max!

This isn’t a sweet book but it had its moments. I could feel that Max adored Lucy, I really could even though he was a right bastid. What is it about Max that I both love and hate? I feel horrible for him because I think he has a darkness inside him that consumes him at times. He is so controlling, I can’t help but think maybe with therapy, he could still be the dominant Alpha but a much more at peace dominant Alpha.

But this book isn’t about the way Max would be with therapy. It’s about Max as he is and it offers an intimate look into the mind of a man who carries darkness within like a shroud. I can’t help but think he’s going to go off the rails one day and truly hurt Lucy even though he doesn’t want to hurt her. His control is only as good as his ability to leash his darkness.

This isn’t a book that you’ll close and skip away never to think about it again or if you do, its with a fondness that has you smiling. No, this book will rip your guts out and put them in a pretty box. This is a book that will have you squirming but for all the ‘right’ reasons, haha. This is a book that will haunt your memory for years to come because it’s just that good.

I would say this book is a romance but it’s a very dark romance between two people, both of whom are in love with the other, but that love may not be healthy. For pure reading pleasure, I adore this series. I adore Max. I want to hug him and get him into therapy, but I still love him.

And that is the mark of a great author, in my opinion.

I finished up writing Breaking Elena: Twisted. I thought I'd never put a period to the end. Much as I am enjoying writing this series, for some reason, the editing on this one was a bear. But it's finally done and I'll be moving on to Part Three, which I've tentatively named Breaking Elena: Forever. Now for the cover reveal, which is already revealed on Amazon... haha!


In Part One, Elena played her cards and now, in Part Two, she must deal with what she has been dealt. Follow her into the heart of her new reality and discover, along with her, what is to become of her. She must learn to trust Ben, her protector, else she will surely perish. Or will she... When nothing is as it seems, Elena struggles to adjust.

Ben Dimitriou is a twisted psychopath who now has Elena right where he wants her. He schemed and manipulated to get her into his lair and now that she is there, she is his toy to do with as he pleases. There is no stopping him now...

WARNINGS: This is Part Two of a novella. Coming soon is part three, Breaking Elena: Untitled as Yet. This story contains strong language in the form of dirty talk and cursing. This story is meant for adults only. This story also contains elements of age play, non consensual spankings and medical examinations, manipulation of the heroine by the hero, oral sex, and more. This is not a typical feel good romance story. It is an erotic love story but that love story is horrifyingly twisted. Read at your own risk...

True Beginnings by Willow Madison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I can’t be the only to ever want amnesia just so I can read my favorite books all over again. This is the way I feel about this series by Willow Madison. I read the first book in the series, True Nature, and couldn’t wait to begin True Beginnings.

Max is a man who puts other Alpha males to shame. He controls every aspect of our heroine Lucy, and does it unapologetically. At times, I felt Lucy’s fear as my heart raced in terror. I felt her difficulty in accepting the things Max asked of her. Over it all, I also felt her love for Max and her desire to please him. Evil, evil man is just so sexy, she couldn’t help wanting him.

Lucy seems to be an extreme submissive. Everything Max does turns her on and even when she is frightened, she is also desperate to please him. I read on as Max slowly inducted Lucy into his way of life. He has rules for her and Lord help her if she disobeys or doesn’t do as he expects.

Max is a right a**hole, there is no doubt. He’s manipulative, chauvinistic, and sexy. Yeah, he’s a bad boy. And I absolutely would run the other way if I ever met him in real life. But as a fantasy, he’s just right. He hits all the right buttons.

Another character I’m really starting to fall for is Jake, Max’s brother. Jake… what can I say, he’s dreamy and sigh worthy. He’s the gentler sexy and I felt so bad for him in this book when he had his break with Julia.

The book was fascinating and well written, keeping my interest and my heart either racing or breaking. I loved the characters and I loved the story. I can’t wait for more. Off to book 3, True Choices.

True Nature by Willow Madison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

True Nature is one of the best books I’ve read all year. Books like this one is one of the reasons I am thankful for Indie authors. The imagination and heart in this book is something I haven’t seen in 99 percent of what is put out by the publishing houses. This book is not PC and I love it. It is unapologetic and absolutely a five star read I could not stop reading.

I fell in love with Max right along with Lucy. He charmed me even as he made a shiver go up and down my spine. I felt almost afraid for Lucy as the story went on and I have to say, the end shocked the living mess right out of me. I loved it.

I finished the book and then thought about it. I thought about it for a long time and I have to admit that if the book had shied away from what it was leading up to be, it would have made the book weaker. Nothing is written here just for shock value, it is all very raw but necessary to tell us the story of Max and Lucy.

It is absolutely a love story. If you enjoy books that give you unvarnished truth, you will enjoy this book. If you enjoy books that do not shy from the hard subjects, give this one a go, I guarantee it will entertain you.

I went through a gamut of emotions with this book and I finished knowing that Max is an Alpha male in the truest sense of the word but he is also a hard man to understand. I might not agree with his actions but the heroine of this story, Lucy, she fell for him as he was and for her, he was perfect.

Remember, this is a love story. It might not be your love story or my love story, but it is beautiful. It is the story of Max and Lucy. If you keep an open mind and take deep breaths, you might even find yourself rooting for Max... I know I did.
