Wrecked #1
Tempting Fate
Find out why some men are worth TEMPTING FATE . . .
The Agreement by S.E. Lund
Kate McDermott is a Journalism graduate student writing an article about BDSM in popular culture. It's just research & nothing personal. Really.
Drake Morgan, MD, is a Neurosurgeon, bass player, philanthropist & Dominant. He doesn't do girlfriends, sleepovers, & he certainly doesn't do breakfast in bed the morning after. Ever.
When the two meet for an interview, Kate hopes the carefully worded agreement she draws up will keep their relationship strictly professional. Big mistake…
Belong to You by Vi Keeland
My honeymoon was almost everything I dreamed it would be, a tropical paradise, turquoise water, romantic walks on the beach, and loads and loads of mind shattering sex. The only thing missing was the groom.
After seven years of coasting through a relationship with Michael, my senses were numb. A week of passion with a stranger was just what I needed to clear my head and take back control of my life. But how do you move on when the man that was only supposed to be a fling somehow seeps into your soul and steals your heart?
Gemini by Penelope Ward
Allison didn’t know her life was about to change the day she serves a mysterious blue-eyed customer. Cedric wasn't expecting love at first sight with the pretty waitress he'd set out to find. She was the last woman for whom he should have been having feelings. Compelled to know her before identifying himself, he makes her believe their meetings are coincidental.
After a passionate romance, Cedric's secrets are revealed in a shocking twist you won’t see coming.
Wreck Me by J.L. Mac
A self-described “nobody with nothing,” orphan Josephine Geroux is happy to remain invisible until she meets a strangely familiar man whose face haunts her for reasons she can’t understand,
Making it her mission to discover what parts of her tragic puzzle she is missing, Josephine becomes entangled with the enigmatic stranger & has unknowingly given herself to the one person who is close enough to wreck her.
Searching For Moore by Julie A. Richman
Sexy entrepreneur Schooner Moore receives the birthday bombshell of a lifetime - his true love, college girlfriend Mia Silver, the girl who broke his heart when she fled without even a goodbye at the end of their freshman year, has been seen on Facebook.
Now 24 years later, Schooner discovers the truth behind what drove Mia from him as he tries to once again win her love.
The Future of Our Past by Kahlen Aymes
Julia Abbot and Ryan Matthews have been inseparable best friends since the moment they met. Unwilling to risk their incredible friendship, they each unsuccessfully attempt to quell their immeasurable longing for the other.
On the verge of Ryan’s departure to Harvard Medical School and Julia’s for her new job on the opposite coast, they are forced to face the undeniable truth of their deeper feelings.
Is their love strong enough to stand the test of a long distance relationship & the people that try to keep them apart?

Amazing! A must Read

4 stars for this awesome box set!
After finishing the last (but not least) book, I can say I thoroughly enjoyed every book in this set! I bought it for .99 (it was a limited time offer) so it was well worth the price! I discovered several "new to me" authors.
Finished the entire series (Unrestrained and Wrecked);
Finished reading book 2 in the series (Needing Moore and The Remembrance Trilogy) and looking forward to reading book 3 of each soon;
Plan to finish the remaining series (Cole and Gemini) very soon.
I know some readers don't care for a box set involving so many series but I personally like it. It was a good price and a good way to sample an author's work before I buy more. For specific comments on each book, I've rated and reviewed each book individually.

I just finished the first book in the Tempting Fate set. I'll post reviews for the other books as I read them.
The Agreement by S.E. Lund- I never should have started this book last night. I stayed up all night reading it until I finally conked out with the kindle still in my hands trying desperately to stay awake. I woke up a little while ago and instead of doing my Saturday chores I was glued to this story until I finished it. S.E. Lund sure knows how to create some serious tension in a story. Not to mention a very novel villein! I absolutely loved it!
This is one of the best erotica stories I have read. The BDSM is a very light version so if you have been wondering about it, I could highly recommend this as a first time read! I found it to be a thoughtful, intense, intelligent, funny, emotional read and I was along for the ride right along with the heroine. You know, I think I may have understated it, it isn't just a good erotica read, it is just plain old GOOD! I am in the novel position of not wanting to start another book right now because I just want to let this one percolate for a while. *happy sighs*
PS- I just noticed how many people have this in their 'to read' pile and I would just like to say, "Start it already...you won't be sorry!"

I just bought it! I have read Searching for Moore by Julie Richman and this is my review so far:
Fall in love with Schooner...that is what I did. He is the most romantic book boyfriend and yet the most exasperating. How could he NOT see what CJ was plotting? All those years wasted with this Barbie Doll wanna-be. You must read this book. I do not want to give anything away, but this is a story that will grab you and will not let you go. Be forewarned... massive, and I mean massive, cliffhanger at the end of this book. Do not despair... book 2 & 3 are out now and you will be able to continue reading and not have a heart attack. Moore to Lose and Moore Than Forever will take your heart and put in through a grinder. Loved these books and cried my eyes out!

A great boxed set containing the stories of 6 amazing authors! So far I have read:
Searching for Moore - an amazing and heartwarming story about love lost, then found again. Schooner Moore is just so damn sexy and Mia Silver is an awesome kick-ass businesswoman who you just can't help but love!
Belong to You - a hot story about the super sexy Jack Cole who is the ultimate alpha male but so romantic and swoon-worthy!

It was definitely not Fifty Shades of Gray. I could not put it down, but it was more of my OCD than the fact that I was really into it.

Tempting Fate: An Erotic Box Set of 6 Full Length Bestselling Novels
As With all box sets some stories are better than others. I was disappointed that some of the books were part one of a series, when I thought they were standalones.

This is a review for the first book in the series. This was a really good book for someone just getting into Dominant/submissive erotica.
It was a good change from the heavier side of BDSM literature. I also like the clarification that was throughout the book between domination and abuse especially since more abusive came out. Definitely worth reading if your thinking about reading about a more dominant man in the world of erotica without the extremes of hardcore BDSM.
This is for the second book in the series. I enjoyed this one simply for the hot scenes and light backstory. It is in the more vanilla of today's erotica category but it was still a good read otherwise.
This is for the third book in the series. I thought there was a lot of backstory for this book which is fine but not really what I was looking for when I bought the series. It was a nice change however but it wasn't my favourite.
This is for the fourth book in the series. Wow they got to a raging start with this book and with a lot of really hot scenes. This was a fairly pure erotica book with minimal storyline that took a back seat most of the time from the erotic scenes. Definitely worth it and will be looking for the next two especially the abrupt ending it left me!
So this is for book five and I have to say that it took a really long time for anything to happen in the couples relationship. It wasn't really what a liked to read anyway but was generally a well written and well thought out book.
Book number six was actually sickening, the couple wasn't realistic; Julia never stopped crying and Ryan was possessive and whinged most of the book. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either.
All in all the series was great for its price and will be looking for the follow up in each books series'
