Rae Falling

The Devilhouse #1

by Blair Babylon

One wild quickie with a sexy stranger will change Rae's life forever.

Rae Stone is majoring in psychology so that she can open a clinic for autistic kids, but when her scholarship is yanked because she failed an impossible statistics course, she thinks she's out of luck and doomed to return to her poverty-stricken hometown. Because she has three weeks of college freedom left, she goes to an upscale party and has a wild quickie with a stranger, who turns out to be the sexy owner of the Devilhouse, a BDSM club. He offers her a job that scares the heck out her, so she screws her courage to the sticking place and becomes Lady Macbeth, Domme of the Devilhouse. She's found the money to stay in college, but will the secretive Wulf turn out to be her Prince Charming or the Devil who tempts her to ruin?

WARNING: Due to sexual content, this book recommended for ages 18 and over. This title contains voyeurism, a bit of girl-girl exploration, graphic language and a wild quickie that should have been a one-night-stand.

Blair Babylon is the nom de plume of an award-winning, USA Today-bestselling author who used to publish literary fiction. Because professional reviews of her other fiction usually included the caveat that there was too much deviant sex and too much interesting plot, she decided to abandon all literary pretensions, let her freak flag fly, and write hot, sexy, erotic romance.

0.5 stars rounded up to 1 star because I don't have a "bomb" or 0.5 star option.

Rae Falling. I'm not a fan of the title. Nor am I a fan of the fact that THIS is a serial as well. *sigh*

I want to start this review by admitting I was biased against this story for several reasons: 1) it's a serial and I dislike serials; 2) I hate the title; 3) I looked up the series and...I was given the impression the author can't make up her mind if this series is called Billionaires in Disguise or The Devilhouse. Let's just call these "red flags."

Rae Falling starts with the heroine, Rae, at a frat party. She gets roofied and is almost anally raped. WTF!!! This is the beginning??!

Great.

Rae's anal virginity is saved by her friends. Yaaaay? The next day she tells them she is losing her scholarship and will have to quit school. Her friends hook her up with a potential job that will pay about $200 a hour. The job? Becoming a dominatrix. After having stranger sex with her potential new boss.

*bangs head against desk*

Really?! Really, fuckers?? I am so sick and tired of this anthology I don't know what to do with myself. It's just disappointment after disappointment after disappointment.

---------------

In April 2015 I received a free copy of the anthology Red Hot Beginnings. Red Hot Beginnings is an anthology with fourteen (14) different full length series openers. I decided to start reading Red Hot Beginnings because it was an anthology and I am hoping to find a few good books and a few new authors.

Since Red Hot Beginnings contains fourteen (14) full length novels, I've decided to review each entry separately.

Note: Red Hot Beginnings is no longer for sale. Each book will have to be acquired separately - some are still free.

Fourteen NYT, USA Today, and top-selling authors have banded together to bring you 14 beautifully romantic, heart-pounding stories of love, passion, and thrilling suspense. These 14 amazing books are the beginnings to incredible series. Some of these alpha males are sweet, some are sexy, and some are furry or bitey. All will fight for their women and protect them in these 14 brilliant stories by authors you’ll love!

I don't usually read serials and I actually didn't read this story either when it was a serial - confusing? :-) I read the entire omnibus edition called: Billionaires in Disguise: Rae (Complete Series, Episodes 1-9): A Romance Novel. I loved reading the omnibus edition. As of this writing Rae Falling is free on Amazon (other places, too, I think). If you haven't read the omnibus edition go get this free book and give it a try. I think you'll enjoy it enough that you'll want to read the entire series.

Loved it! Got it for free from all romance and could NOT wait for the next!

OMG . I dont even know where to START !! I read this a while ago , and didn't realize that i had not reviewed it . So here goes ....
Rae is a college student who , through studying hard, seems to be flunking out by winter break , Her friends know that she will not be able to get any help to stay in school. Rae's parents are VERY strong people of faith , that believe that anything WORLDLY is of the devil . Basically Everything FUN ! And Rae wants to leave her mark on the world, and knows that she will not be able to do that without an education. So flunking out is Not an option.
What follows next is that Rae ,with the help of her best friends Georgie , and Lizzy ,embark on a fanciful , harried , amazing, adventure that will change all of their lives. And will shake Rae and all of her beliefs to the core . There is Love , and Romance, and a real life PRINCE that helps Rae on her journey of self discovery , and bounderie's, and answers to questions she never even thought to ask. There is also heart break , courage and acceptance. Basically all a growing girl needs !!!
I have read all of BLAIR BABYLON'S Billionares in Disguise , and Rockstars In Disguise series , and RAE and WULF will always be my (1st) favorites !! If you are looking for action , adventure, and Romance along with sexy grown up time (s) , PLEASE allow BLAIR BABYLON to take you on an adventure that will last LONG after the very last letter of the very last word !!!

All I can say... Wulf is swoon-worthy. A REAL prince charming... but with a past of pain and loss, and you can't help but love the guy.

I will give NOTHING away with the review. It's an easy read, erotic, a sweet love story, and that's all you get... besides READ THE BOOK. I feel like it's totally worth a reread... maybe I'll update my review after I read it again...

I totally fell for Wulf... holy hell!
I liked Rae's character... her growth was awesome to watch once you find out the background she comes from too.

The book is from 2013, so with so many books published since then... it's easy to miss... READ IT

It's totally worth it.

[Oma Iep · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my first book by this author, but I have already downloaded the next installments.
I love Rae. As a mum of an Autistic boy, I love what she is trying to do.
I love a sassy leading lady and Rae has it in spades, without being obnoxious.
The instant spark of lust and connection between the characters makes for a red-hot story, not to mention the club scene.
I love how the story is so much more, it's unexpected and I can't wait for the next instalment!

[Mary Winstead · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reagan grew up in a southern Baptist family where they didn't make squat. She gets a scholarship to teach psychology so she can help autism children like her cousin Daniel. We'll she fails a class and is worried she will lose her scholar and have to live back home. Her roommates tell her about their job and she gets very interested. Cannot wait to read the entire series.

[Tanya McIvor · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was the start of an addiction. This is the first time ever that having read the first book I ended up purchasing every single available book by Blair. (there's a few that are no longer available) I read them all back to back, and then desperately have been waiting for her latest to find out about Max. Yes she's that good. <3 Fantastic series. I love it!!!

[Jenny Delandro · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this short beginning to Rae and Wulf romance.
She is convinced she is going to get kicked out of uni ... and she doesn’t want to go home when so many there told her she would be back..
Diving straight into next one!

This was a fun exploration into your inner kink.

[Hadley Raydeen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting

A cliffhanger for the next book, however well written and intriguing. Rae and Wulf's personalities well be quite a sexy match up in the rest of these books.

Billionaires in Disguise: Rae by Blair Babylon

I received this in as an ARC in the box set Shades of Surrender: Fifty by Fifty 4 A BDSM Romance Boxed Set for an honest review. I will try not to post spoilers but something may slip. The other thing is I did rate each book and will keep coming back till all are rated, both singles and this set.

This book seems to be 3 books in this set, unless I miscounted as I was reading. (Yes, its that hot!) This gives a good description of a young lady just starting out in the BDSM life. A REALLY good description! I LOVED the plot, the guts of this book! I wish I could give it more then just 5 stars!

It goes from a frat party to a dungeon and then onto learning not only in college but in the "play area" and how to channel emotions into play and come out the other end in a better place!

The secrets of The Dom also come to light as you read into this. This is a great book to read more then once! I found the scenes believable and possible in real life.

I can not wait to read the rest of this set!!! It is so worth the cost!

[Tanya]

Love this series

There's something so very primal about the BDSM work, books in this nature tend to call to me.

In this book we met Rae, who is a relatively shy and naive girl. After failing one of her core class that she needs to keep her college scholarship, her friends decide to try to get her a job where they work. The Devil House is a BDSM club and they get paid very well, they're sure if Rae can get a job there that she'd be able to pay for college herself and not have to go home.

They take Rae to a meet and greet style party to introduced Rae to The Dom, but when Rae finally meets him they forget to tell her that he's their boss. Dubbing him "the blond hottie" they dance and sparks fly. Pretty quickly, they're heading to a back room where Rae's own dominant side comes out.

He decides to give her a job as a dominatrix. Sparks contrite to fly as they fall deeper into each other. I'll definitely be looking out to see where their story goes.

[Alison · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not really a novella, just part one of several.

Rae starts the book nearly being raped by a frat boy after being roofied. She is failing a class and fears she is bound to return to her Baptist family and marriage to a farm boy. Then two friends suggests she sees the Dom who could make all her money worries disappear.

Rae meets the mysterious Dom at a party but has no idea who he is and confounds all his expectations. I kind of liked this - even though the Dom appears to be softening the girls up before pimping them in his BDSM club - but I'm not sure I'd want to pay for five more instalments. Maybe one for those on Kindle Unlimited?

[Marianna · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting teaser to get the reader into the series. The author is nice enough to give this one away if you join her newsletter. So, I received this one gratis. It is certainly not the worst free book I've ever read also not the best. It is middle of the road -- why you might ask? Mostly the book has some really doubtful elements to the plot line. Although a bit on the unbelievable side the author does a nice job of tying them together on the end with sufficient information to entice the reader to buy the next book. I'll bite and so do both of the main characters of this book so it seems.

[lovestoread · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thus begins another fantastic series by Blair Babylon. Wow, I love Rae. She is amazing. She takes life in stride, works hard for what she's got and doesn't have the support of her family. Her friends from college are more supportive of her goals and dreams than her family is. Then it all goes sideways for Rae and she loses her scholarship, which means she'll have to go home and suffer with her family...because of her family.

Georgie & Lizzie introduce Rae to the Devilhouse and Wulf. Here begins the adventure of Rae's life! To Domme or not to Domme, yup! That is the question.

Witty, sexy and full of fun. An enjoyable read - takes your mind off the old hum drum life!

[Janice · Rating 5 out of 5]

I picked this one up since it was free and I hadn't heard anything about Blair or her books and wanted to check her out. I loved the book so much that I immediately purchased the full series of 9 episodes. Looking forward to reading more of her work and her amazing characters.

[Isabel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the first segment of the series. I could not put it down. It as a short quick read but worth the price. In the story you meet Wulf, the Dom of the Devilhouse. It doesn't leave you wanting more, it leaves you needing it. Well done Blair Babylon you have me hooked.

[Rachael Rassi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This wasn't horrible.

It had a steady flow, and for the most part I liked it. Maybe it's because it's only the first one in the series, but I did find myself sort of confused. With all that being said, I will be continuing the series.

[Rayne · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read this as a part of the Red Hot Beginnings Box Set Collection.
3.5stars
I really enjoyed this book. The characters were likeable and the story line humorous. The main character is fairly green to the society and this leads to disaster. But all can be redeemed. It was an easy, quick read.

[Stephanie Barnes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Rea

This is written from Rea's point of view. It is fun to read from the time she was on the dance floor on. I like how The Dom plays the game but you can feel the he has an affection for her.
