[Els · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dit is een verzameling van schrijfsels van diverse auteurs. Sommige zijn kortverhalen, andere volwaardige boeken, maar dan met een open (sorry voor de woordspeling) einde.
Zoals de titel het laat verstaan, handelen ze allemaal in dezelfde stijl als 50 shades of Grey, de dominante man, maar de achtergrond van de verhalen zijn totaal anders. De ene keer gaat het om het eenvoudige meisje dat valt voor de rijke man, een andere keer kan je volgen hoe het er aan toe gaat in een school voor submissives, de volgende keer is de basis een 'gewoon' liefdesverhaal en een keer gaat het zelfs om intergalacitale verhoudingen.
Je bent best even zoet met deze omnibus. Ongeveer 25 uur om precies te zijn. Jammer genoeg zijn die niet allemaal even boeiend (sorry voor de woorspeling). Ik ken best wel tegen iets, maar dat avontuur met die aliens, daar vond ik eerlijk gezegd, niks aan. Ieder zijn/haar ding, natuurlijk.
Goed. Dit gezegd zijnde, was ik blij dat het boek uit was. Tenslotte kwam het allemaal op hetzelfde neer. De man, die zogezegd alle wijsheid in pacht had en de vrouw effe alle hoeken van de kamer ging laten zien. Toegegeven, dat kan best leuk zijn, maar waarom eens geen verhaal over de dominatrix? Er komt er wel eventjes eentje aan bod in het verhaal over de school, maar het had vee dieper (sorry alweer) kunnen uitgebouwd worden, naar mijn gevoel. Nu ja, ik heb het gelezen en heb er even mijn buik van vol (sorry alweer). Ik denk dat er in deze serie al 7 delen zijn, maar die ga ik aan mij laten voorbij gaan. Waarom ik deze las? Nieuwsgierigheid en omdat hij toevallig ook heel goedkoop te verkrijgen was als ebook bij Amazon.
Heb ik jullie belangstelling opwekt of juist niet? Ik vraag het me wel af eigenlijk. Mocht iemand hem ook lezen of reeds gelezen hebben, dan ben ik benieuwd naar jouw/jullie mening.

Conclusie

Ik las hem uit, zoals ieder boek dat ik begin. Heb ik er spijt van? Nee. Heb ik er iets van bijgeleerd? Nee, ook niet. Zijn er dingen die ik zelf wil uitproberen of uitgeprobeerd heb? Ja, zeker en vast. Zijn er dingen waar ik van gruwelde? Volmondig (nog een keer sorry) ja.
Ik zou normaal 3 sterren hebben gegeven omdat er best een paar leuke verhalen tussen zitten waar je van denkt : hier wil ik het vervolg wel van weten. Het zijn er echter maar 2 geworden en dit voornamelijk door het alienverhaal en de soms te saaie sex.

Belong To You (A Cole Novel book 1)
By VI Keeland
http://amzn.to/1kEcynw

After seven years in a dead end relationship Sydney decided to take a vacation. She meets Jack and they decide to have a week long fling. How do you move on when the man that was only suppose to be a fling steals your heart?

Love the intensity of heat between Jack and Sydney. I enjoyed the way the plot developed. The relationship between Jack and Syd was just as important as their relationships with the rest of the characters. The sexy scenes were there but they weren't the most important part and I really enjoyed that. I would definitely recommend this book.

A Touch of Lilly
By Nina Pierce

**5 STAR REVIEW**

Ex-Chicago detective LILLY D'ANGELO travels the galaxy working as a bounty hunter using her secret talents to bring down criminals and seeking revenge on the one male who ruined her life.

Agent DALLAS SAWYER works for deep space's version of the FBI, he's determined to take down the assassin targeting government officials. When a sexy human female gets between him and his goal, Dallas and his alien partner find themselves on the receiving end of a passionate night they won't soon forget and a proposition that may very well blow up in their faces.
Because in deep space ... true love can happen with just a touch.

I’m not an expert, in SCI-FI/FANTASY books but this one is so good. It is such a great futuristic story. I love the effect Lilly has on males of any species. Nina Pierce did such an amazing job with descriptions that I felt like I was watching a movie unfold. There is HOT sexy scenes and just the right amount of suspense to keep you hooked the entire book. I just couldn’t put it down. From the very first page I was sucked into the story.

I would highly recommend this book.

This series is about a journey of sexual self discovery after my divorce as I sought something new and exciting.

I thought the writing style was fun and easy to read. You could actually feel the connection between Summer and Mark. The Alphabet has never been more fun.

After book One you will download book Two so fast your kindle will smoke! And the journey keeps getting better, richer, more exciting. You connect, imagine, and fantasize about the characters. You won’t want to stop!

Definitely a book to put on your must read series list ! I highly recommend this book!!

I have read Brie Learns the Art of Submission by Red Phoenix in this boxset. This book starts out by quickly grabbing your attention and the rollercoaster begins! Wow! Brie is a character to fall in live with! Red Phoenix writes in such a way that we really want to experience her journey through the center for ourselves. Where do we sign up??? This novel made me feel so many emotions from joy and hate to laughing and crying! Plus I learned a few things along the way as well! Lol! I especially look forward to what's up with Brie beyond the submission center! Pick this up today. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

[Becki · Rating 5 out of 5]

This review is for "Brie Learns the Art of Submission" only.

I read each installment of this book separately and couldn't wait for the next one to be published.
Red manages to paint the settings so beautifully that you feel like you are right there with the characters. I felt every emotion that Brie felt, celebrated her accomplishments and fell in love with all of the Doms.
This edition brings all 9 installments together in 1 volume with a reduced price.
I recommend the Brie series to anyone interested in learning more about submissive training or just looking for some really hot erotica.

[FiFi · Rating 5 out of 5]

I only read Brie Learns the Art of Submission by Red Phoenix and I absolutely have to say this is my favorite book. It has everything you for in a Erotic. The characters are like your friends you'd hang out with. The DOMS from the school are intelligent sexy and hot as heck! This book makes you look what to try new things. And add to what you already know...brush up on your skills kinda thing. I love Red's writing. She sucks you in and before you know it you've completed the book without breathing. Lol!

[Jujubee]

Another anthology that I one-clicked right away, but dragged my reading feet at finishing.
Read Master of the Inn in 2014 and rated it 4*
Whereby I feel in love with Elyse and Logan, subsequently following the author, Ella Jade, and reading the other book(s) in the Pleasure Inn series.

[Gerda · Rating 5 out of 5]

All but one were novellas and always the first of a trilogy. Quite entertaining and a good way to get to know the different authors and decide whether it's worth to buy the in relation to length expensive "books".
The best was the novel "Brie Learns the Art of Submission" by Red Phoenix, and that story earned the five stars. A witty, entertaining story with some tips for your own bedroom.

[Rosa Davis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent read. Entire set of books were extremely great reading. Looking forward to next set.
