Claiming His Tease by Amy Valenti
Just like the title this book was a complete tease from the beginning.
Lena is a switch. In her opinion more Domme than submissive, she refuses to submit to just anyone. When she meets Josh at a club opening her world is suddenly turned upside down. From the moment she laid eyes on him her every instinct is to knell at his feet and give him complete and utter control over her. She is bound and determined to not give.
Josh was just as intrigued by Lena after their meeting. She is a puzzle to be unraveled. A woman with enough mystery to keep him coming back for more time and time again. He is determined to not only make her submit but to ultimately make her his.
I loved the teasing and suspense that went on for most of this book. Will Josh be patient, strong, and determined enough to win the girl in the end? I adored Josh from the start. Even though all he wanted was to force Lena to submit to him he allowed her the time to work through her issues and come to him on her own terms. In her own time.
Lena was a contradiction. She was soft and hard at different times. It was a different perspective to read about a switch. Definitely not your typical Donmme/Sub read. But ohhhh so worth it!
Breaking Boundaries by Sienna Stapleton
Sara Beth is determined to save her relationship with her boyfriend of two years Adam. Having issues with her self image because of her weight and strict religious upbringing she has several hangups where her sexuality is involved. Convincing herself that she needed to change was only the first step. The second is booking herself and Adam to a weekend at a sexual therapy retreat. She is shocked at what that will actually entail.
Every step is a journey in discovery who she is as a woman. Proving to herself that her mothers hateful words don't define her. That she can give Adam and more importantly herself what they both need to fulfill their sexual relationship.
I loved Adam from the start. Even though he had a hard role to play there was always such a sweet and caring side to him as well. I liked that Sara overcame a lot of her hangups and went thru with the whole weekend.
The Billionaries Club: Deceiving Him by Terry Towers
Lexie is a struggling journalist about to write the story of the year. Or so she thinks. With the help of her roommate she is going to break a story about a BDSM club. Watch "training" videos...check. Correct outfit...check. Badge giving her entrance to the club...check. Knowing what she was really getting herself into...negative.
When Vince catches sight of the beautiful red head he wants to know more about her. Even though she claims to be familiar with the BDSM lifestyle he can tell that she is innocent of the ways he wants to claim her. That just makes her even more enticing to him.
What happens at the club stays at the club... right?
Club Soria by Emilia Kincade
After finding out her boyfriend of 5 years was cheating on her Maya decides its time for a vacation to get her life back in order. She decides on Thailand as her destination. Visiting her sister there is on the agenda.
When she meets Javier Soria her world soon turns upside down. Taken to a private island she doesn't know what to expect.
The Sybian Club by Selena Kitt
I have read several of Selena Kitt's books before and enjoyed most of them. This one, however, just was not that big of a hit for me. I'm not sure if it was because the subject matter didn't really interest me. Or if it was because I just couldn't get into the characters. I think more the characters than anything else.
His Desire, her surrender by Malia Mallory
Escape by PJ Adams
Pavlov by Arden Aoide
Control: Masters of the Sanctuary by Elsa Day
Amy Cryan is trying to keep her job by any means necessary. Watching as her fellow employees are fired is making her nervous. Knowing that if she wants to keep her job as a journalist she has to find "THE" story to put her over the top. When she comes across mentions of the secretive Sanction she knows this is it. The story of a lifetime. She thinks she's ready for what she may see while in Sanctuary but instead is caught up in something she doesn't truly understand. When she gets herself in trouble it is the elusive owner Master J who comes to her rescue. Shocked doesn't cover her reaction. Thinking that she has lost her only chance at an award winning story she is surprised when Master J makes her an offer she just can't refuse.
J knows better than to deal with journalists. They are nothing but nosey, uptight people who don't understand what Sanctuary truly stands for. A safe place for all things consensual. But there is something about Amy that calls to him like no one ever before. He makes the decision to show her just what being a submissive his. More to the point.. his submissive.
The question is, can he show her his world in seven days without making her run?
I really liked how in control J was. Especially when he showed Amy just what it takes to be a dominant. I'm interested to see where else Elsa Day is going to take these two.
I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review from Selena Kitt.
3 1/2 STARS
Club Alpha
Claiming His Tease by Amy Valenti 4 1/2 Stars A surprisingly gentle and loving story, if you take the spanking out of it. Josh shows how gentle he could be before and after the scene he and Lena played out. Even when he did a scene with a friend, he was kind to her also. When Lena Dommed a friend, she also took care of her sub, making sure she was okay after the scene. Though the story is about the romance and rising tension between Lena and Josh, it also shows that BDSM isn't always about sex. Great story and great introduction to this book.
Breaking Boundaries by Sienna Stapleton 3 1/2 Stars This is a story of a woman overcoming her upbringing, that made sex taboo and gave her serious body image issues because she's bigger than average. She and her live in boyfriend sign up for a weekend retreat at a place that they both assume is more talk therapy than sex therapy. They assumed wrong. Her boyfriend has to go a day or two early to learn how to become her 'Master'. I'll let you make your own conclusions from there. It was a pretty decent story, though not really my cup of tea.
The Billionaires' Club: Deceiving Him by Terry Towers 4 1/4 Stars This was pretty short or just a fast read. In it, a journalist tries to get a promotion at her news paper by doing a story about the Billionaire's Club, a BDSM club for billionaires. She's in for a huge surprise when one of the billionaires decides he wants her for the night, maybe longer and for more than just sex.
Club Soria by Emilia Kincade 1 star This was well written but not my cup of tea.
The Sybian Club by Selena Kitt 2 1/2 stars This story is representative of Ms Kitt's work. It is very well written and the characters are believable. I have found that I love some of her stories and others are just okay for me, but that's all about personal preference. This one was one of the okay ones for me.
His Desire, Her Surrender by Malia Mallory 4 1/2 Stars This is well written and full of intrigue. It's the second part of a four part series, the first one is currently free on ebook. The third and fourth parts, are not so cheap, but I'll probably find out soon enough if they are worth it. I enjoyed this enough to buy all the others in this series. Though the plot wasn't necessarily original, especially as a friend pointed out in this post-50 Shades era, but it's done in a way that it is worth the time and money for at least the first two parts, if you buy Club Alpha.
Escape by PJ Adams 3 Stars This has not been my favorite of the book, but it's not been my least favorite either. It was worth my time to read, as that the club in it was a little different than most clubs that have been featured in the previous stories. If nothing else, I enjoy learning all the different aspects of a lifestyle that I know very little about. Of course, having spoken to people that do live this lifestyle, I always take books with a pinch of skepticism. In this book, Julie's interactions with her sister seemed to take it into a slightly less exciting place that where it could have gone, but I understand why the author did it this way.
Pavlov by Arden Aoide 3 1/2 Stars This story is a bit different, a Dom trying to find a suitable sub, but finding only self-sabotaging tendencies. On the advice of a friend, he goes to the personal ads to looks, rather than place one. Which works out better than he ever could have imagined. This was well written and fun to read, especially the humiliation scene he did with a known crazy from the Club. Not a really dark story, as some of the others are, but well worth the time to read it.
Control: Masters of the Sanctuary by Elsa Day 4 Stars Though the beginning plot of this story is similar to another in this book, it quickly moves away from that other story. This was well written and gave just enough mystery to keep the story going through a fictional week. I'll most likely be checking out the next book in this series!
At the Billionaire's Command by Juliette Jaye 2 1/2 Stars I'm not exactly sure what I thought of this story. There were certainly elements that I loved, such as the subplot on corporate espionage of a sort, but there were other things that drove me crazy. The repetitiveness of explaining what was going on with their relationship being a big one. If this was cut down into serials, I could see the need for this, but all in the same body of work it gets tiresome. (A little spoilers for a second, but nothing major) The use of the remote egg vibe was repetitive and made no sense the second time, when she said she had no idea what it was. I'm pretty sure after you've used one of those once, you'll know what it is for the rest of your days. The d/s side of things, again I am not nor have I ever been in the lifestyle, but even I could see some glaring errors. A safeword was NEVER discussed, and I can't imagine a Dom doing what happened in the last scene to someone that's only been doing the sub thing for less than a year. I'm sorry, if you don't know the lifestyle, then write about something slightly different, as Ms Kitt did. I can't see myself reading this again or recommending this to anyone I know. Which is sad, because the whole corporate betrayal was a brilliant piece of work, mixed in with subpar bdsm play. I even liked the sweet country girl catching the billionaire, which is being overdone to death right now, but since I don't read a lot of those, that element worked well for me. What I'm trying to say in a very round about way is that it was a good story mixed with some bad elements that were enough to turn me off of the whole thing.
Rough Edges by Adriana Hunter & Catherine Cross 2 1/2 Stars This story was not my cup of tea either, but I'm not sure where exactly it went wrong for me. As that I was reading an Advanced Readers' Copy, I can really hope this was thrown through some type of editor before the release date. I also think part of the problem for me was that the main female character internalized her musings way too much. There was quite a bit of action between the two main characters, but I have to agree with the female's best friend and say that I don't think I could hook up with a guy that saves me from a roofy only to turn around and give me a different kind. But maybe that's just me.
Club Red by Sophie Sawyer 3 1/2 Stars This was a little bit of a darker story, but mostly because of the main characters' pasts. There were a few spots that his darkness came through, but for the most part it was almost a BDSM lite story. A decent story to take up an hour or so.
Precious Pet by Candy Quinn 3 1/2 Stars Is there such a thing as New Adult erotica? Because that's kind of what this felt like. Not to mention a bit of a throwback from 50 Shades, with the super rich domineering guy and the sweet small town girl practically fresh of the turnip truck. That's not to say it was a bad read, it was pretty decent if you could get past those two things. Since I read an advanced copy, I must say I really hope this went through another level of editing before release though. Nothing major or difficult to puzzle out, but it would have brought the professionalism of the piece up quite a bit. There's definitely a market for stories like this one, so with a little spit and polish, it could do well on its own even.
This is a boxed set of 13 BDSM-themed books. There's a little something for everyone as you read stories of people discovering themselves and finding love through some consensual kink. I enjoyed most of the books, some more than others.
Overall, the lessons I learned are: 1. Research BDSM well before attempting to go undercover in a club to write a tell-all article. 2. Most Doms are very successful captains of industry and are searching for that very special Sub to complete them. 3. Plenty of Doms love BBW. 4. When it comes to BDSM, one size does not fit all.
My only concern is that not all the authors made reference to the use of condoms or included discussion of birth control in their books.

One day she takes her to an exclusive restaurant that is frequented by models and millionaires. That’s where Maya meets Javier Soriel.
The mysterious Javier takes an interest in Maya and invites her to the extremely exclusive Club Soriel. All he asks for in return is honesty and obedience. She accepts his invitation but wonders what she was thinking when she finds out that this “club” accommodates only one member at a time.
**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review
Club Alpha is anthology full of stories that take place in and around some very elite clubs! As with many anthologies, there were some stories I loved and some, not so much. Definitely a must read for those that like this theme.
Claiming His Tease - Amy Valenti This was probably my favorite book in the anthology. Even though these stories are shorter due to being in an anthology, the author was very detailed in her story and made it believable. 5 stars
Breaking Boundaries - Sienna Stapleton I felt that the main character in this story, Beth, was pretty close to many of us females that grew up with ingrained ideas about sex and what it means. Her willingness to go beyond that for the sake of her boyfriend made this book an excellent read for me. 5 Stars
The Billionaires' Club: Deceiving Him - Terry Towers I liked the premise of the book and loved most of it. Unfortunately the ending reminded me too much of a RomCom movie I watched before. Still enjoyable. 4 Stars
Club Soria - Emilia Kincade The first half of this story was pretty decent. We meet Maya as her life kind of falls apart and we watch her as she moves on. While on an impromptu trip to Thailand, she meets the owner of an exclusive club and restaurant and everything changes. Unfortunately, this is where the book took a turn for the worse for me. None of the interactions nor feelings of the two main characters made any sense for me. 2 stars
The Sybian Club - Selena Kitt This story was definitely the most different for me of all of the stories. Tasha is a housewife who, while looking to spice up her sex life, gets an idea to start an entirely different venture. While this isn't the type of story I would typically read, I found the plot definitely interesting and well written. 3 stars
His Desire Her Surrender - Malia Mallory When I read the plot for this story, I though it sounded really good. However, I had a big problem with reading it once I started. I didn't care for the way the main character, Tabitha, reacted as soon as Marcus came back into her life. 2 stars
Escape - PJ Adams In this story Julie is trying to get over a break up with a boyfriend. During that time, she starts going back to a club they used to go to and gets a minor obsession with a mysterious man there. During the obsession, she meets a nice guy who slowly tries to get closer to her. I really liked this story and the way Julie handles everything. The only thing I didn't get was the end change, but that might have been more my understanding of the subject. 4 stars
Pavlov - Arden Aoide This story was totally different in that it takes place in the mind of a man, Tyrone who is a total dominant and very specific on what he expects from partners. I really loved this character. He is very aware of his wants, his good traits, as well as his flaws. I like that he was able to get a second chance. 5 stars
What a marvelous collection of stories - you can't go wrong here.
Pavlov, by Arden Aoide: Omg, I’m an Arden addict! This book is superb in every way. Having read “Tame,” it was good to see Miranda again. Wish I could visit Club Dishabille.
Claiming His Tease, by Amy Valenti: Loved it. Josh is such a patient Dom, waiting for Lena to be comfortable switching from Domme to sub. The way Lena disciplined the people who were gambling on her was very creative.
Be aware, these stories are filled with steamy hot BDSM action and lots of explicit sex. If you already know you like the genre, you'll love this boxed set, and if you're a newbie, this is a great way to jump in with both feet - come on in, the water's fine!
(I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)
The Sybian Club by Selena Kitt - WOW!!!! HOT!!!! This book made me want to invest in a Sybian. This book is guaranteed to give you shivers. I also love the fact that there was a bit of mystery thrown in.
More reviews to come...

13 stories with varying degrees of bondage, dominance, and submissiveness. Was given this boxed set for an honest review.
Claiming his Tease--Previously released as Little Tease. Club Rack and Ruin doesn't allow sex by any method and complete nudity is also forbidden. Lena comes to the club to check it out.

Rachel, using her therapist behavior, was getting Julie to confront her feelings about the "Evil Bastard" and the club when she went alone. The first time she went without the ex, she just looked around and then she saw a man with a mask working a scene. Julie got hot as he used a cat o' nine tails on his submissive. Eventually, he noticed Julie and motioned to her. She realized that he involved her in his scene. Later she sat in the coffee shop across from the club and looked for the man in the mask. The employee told her he would listen if she needed someone to talk to.
Pavlov--Tyre put an ad online and keeps getting women who truly don't want to be submissive. Each female he tries makes him add conditions to his ad.

One night she stays late to finish her work. She hears a noise and her mystery man steps out of the shadows.
Rough Edges--Scarlett's boyfriend is more interested in the game on the TV than have sex with her. He finally tells her that he has hoping she would lose weight.

Wesley tells her Kyle put something in her drink. He asks her to have a drink with him. She agrees because she is not having the bad vibes she had with Kyle.
Club Red--Erica and Tori go to a super exclusive club. Tori knows that she will not be allowed in the club because she is not super skinny like the other women.

He wanted her to meet his cousin, Daniel. She went with Daniel to a room in the club and they talked. Will she do what Daniel wants or will she decide that there is not enough money in the world to have sex with a stranger?

Pavlov Club Dishabille Redux by Arden Aoide
Really good book. Though I don't think I've read others by this author, I loved this book. Tyrone and Juliet have a past. Tyrone broke off their relationship because he wasn't able to get over an ex. When Juliet comes back into his life, he's somewhat conflicted, he's a dom and hadn't had a dom/sub relationship with Juliet in the past. Really enjoy a good book that makes me giggle.

Amy is sure she will never get her story, but Master J invites her to sign a short term contract to teach her the truth about BDSM. Fantastic, a must read!

3.5 Stars to 5 Stars Claiming His Tease (Club Rack and Ruin #1) by Amy Valenti Talk about patience! Josh's is amazing as he waits for months to claim Lena. This book is about biding your time to win the ultimate prize and the build up is so titillating you can't wait till she gives in to the master. 4 star
Breaking Boundries by Sienna Stapleton This is an eye opening story of Sara who feels fat and repressed and Adam who loves her but doesn't want to live a life with boring one position sex. This book breaks a novice person who is curious about other ways to make love in to other forms of lovemaking in a very enjoyable learning experience. It leaves you with a feeling of "I want to do this!" 4 star
The Billionaire's Club: Deceiving Him by Terry Towers Reporter, Lexie, needs the story of a lifetime to kick off her career so she sneaks into the Billionaire's Club. Lexie tries to pass herself off as a sub who's into it all. Very far fetched but Vince the Dom knows and doesn't care at first. A great short novella that has a lesson for both Lexie and Vince as they learn something new about themselves. 4 star
Club Soria by Emilia Kincade Maya gets rid of a cheating boyfriend and ends up with a mysterious billionaire man named Javier in Thailand. Very unusual story with some intrigue and a unusual ending. Enjoyable but could of had a little more substance to the plot. 3.5 star
The Sybian Club by Selena Kitt Max and his wife Tasha buy a Sybian toy and decided to spread the joy. This story has a 5 star heat factor and should not be read in public because it is so hot. It is a very descriptive read leaving nothing to the imagination because you feel like you are in the story. Because of the heat factor and how engrossed you get in the reading this is a 4 star
His Desire, Her Surrender by Malia Mallory Marcus drove me a little crazy in the 1st chapter just thinking he could walk in and everything would be okay after all that time apart. Tabitha I liked her gutsy attitude but when she went into her insecurity mode I could feel myself saying no way girl get back in there. The BDSM scenes where hot but I would of liked a little more plot. I loved the HEA I give this 3.5 stars and look forward to the next book in the series.
Escape by PJ Adams Wow just wow. I loved this very unusual erotic story that focuses on two sisters having conversations about Julie's life since her boyfriend left. It had heat factor and a storyline that kept me entranced till the very end. I give it 5 stars and am already looking for more books by this author.
Pavlov Club Dishabille Redux by Arden Aoide Very different point of view from a lost Dom's perspective. I was intrigued with where the story was going and I really felt the ending was done in a believable manner. I give it 3.5 stars
Control: Masters of the Sanctuary by Elsa Day I have read this story before and I liked it even more the second time around. It starts out as a cutesy story about Amy trying to get a story on a local BDSM place to keep her job. So she researches what they may be doing there, gets herself invited to it and well you can guess what happened next. But from that point the story gets very good as the author does an outstanding job of changing up the story keeping you reading and seeing a well planned lesson for Amy from Master J that is extremely erotic and engaging. I give it 5 stars.
At The Billionare's Command by Julliette Jaye Sophie takes charge of her life and goes to college and moves to New York City. Once there she works hard and takes a risky chance that changes her life. Alex, the billionaire, comes across as standoffish and reserved but he really turns out to be caring and thoughtful as the story progresses. I give this book 4 stars.
Rough Edges by Adriana Hunter & Catherine Cross Hats off to a strong women who takes rejection from a lover and opens herself to a new experience with a stranger. The authors work through a breakup similar to one most of us have been through. Your not pretty enough, your too fat, your boring in bed...... They do a great job of empowering Scarlett to not listen to her ex and I love how strong they have her in standing up to Wesley. I give this book 4 stars.
Club Red by Sophie Sawyer Gaius really drew me in with how he carried himself so assuredly and that he was willing to wait for the right sub. What further sealed the deal was how the author also showed him being vulnerable as well. Who can resist a man that well rounded. Tori is portrayed as a BBW with issues about her weight and past bad relationships but the author also presented a women not willing to be what others kept telling her she was or as a victim. This story is entertaining and I give it 4 stars.
Precious Pet by Candy Quinn I use the word intriguing too often but that is the one word that describes this story. Though I don't usually enjoy reading erotica from a young person perspective this was well written and I got so wrapped up in the story that it took my poor husband a while to get my attention. The ending seemed abrupt and I felt unfinished, wanting more. Also I don't know if it was intentional but there was nothing at the end that referenced anything about where to find the author. I feel this is a mistake and should be corrected. I do give it 5 stars.
A COPY WAS GIFTED IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW VIA SELENA KITT To see the full review visit my blog: sportochicksmusings.blogspot .com
Claiming His Tease by Amy Valenti- This was a great start to the series. I loved the chemistry between Josh and Lena, the sexual tension between them was off the charts. Although Lena is a switch she felt the overwhelming need to be completely submissive when it came to Josh, it was a feeling that she didn't like or trust. They started by building a friendship before they finally went to where everyone was expecting them to go.
Escape by P.J. Adams - This was the first book I have read by P.J. Adams and I cannot wait to read more! This was a great quick read and it looks to be an interesting series.
Club Red by Sophie Sawyer - Umm...ok...that was strange. I was enjoying the book and then it just stopped. Where is the rest of the story? That's it? It's like when you're watching a movie and there's no real ending. Very frustrating, I want more!!!! This had the making of a four or five star book of it just went a little further.
This was a wonderful collection of bdsm books. There were only a few that let me down, but most of them I thoroughly enjoyed.
I like the power play struggle in Claiming His Tease, it was fun watching Josh slowly break her down in the process of getting to know her. When she finally did submit it was even better.
Breaking Boundaries was all about a couple exploring boundaries in the bedroom. Sara had issues due to her upbringing as a child that she needed to overcome. So they go away for a weekend and it's all about trust and pushing the boundaries so that you can both enjoy sex with each other more. This was very well done.
Deceiving Him was only an okay story. Typical journalist trying to uncover the dirty nasty truth on a sex club. She falls in over her head, but he falls for her anyways, even after he knows the truth. I was glad when this one was over because the ENTIRE story was predictable.
Club Soria was just odd. Within the first few paragraphs the author mentions Stephen King, however, she spelled it Steven King, and that just irked me. I don't know if that set the pace for the rest of the story, or if it was really that blah. I was just bored with this one.
Sybian Club was definitely a five star read. The wife is bored and wants a sybian machine. Due to the cost, her husband says she must come up with a way to pay for it. She creates the sybian club and invites her friends to come try it. There are lots of intense orgasms in this story and I loved it from beginning to end. By far the most developed story of the group.
His Desire, Her Surrender was different. They met in Hawaii then bump into each other again in real life. The chemistry and storyline was very interesting. I didn't agree with the aspects of the bdsm lifestyle they portrayed but that's me being picky.
Escape was enjoyable but ultimately forgettable. I can't remember what it's about, even with my notes. At least I enjoyed reading it, even if it didn't leave a lasting impression.
Pavlov was just a bunch of self-hatred. Both characters needed help desperately. And while bits were enjoyable, the amount of pity/self-loathing both characters had was deplorable.
Control: Masters of the Sanctuary, this one just felt like a repeat of the first journalist story. Granted this one had a much better storyline to it so that did make it better but not by much.
At the Billionaire's Command needed desperate help. This one was at least 50 pages long (a guess on my end) yet there wasn't a single chapter break. It was all written as one long story. There were some breaks indicating time passing but they were horribly done. The bdsm left much to be desired and it was very repetitive.
Rough Edges just bothered me. The only word I can think to describe this one is clusterfuck. It had such amazing potential too.
Club Red was a nice reminder of how life sometimes tosses exactly what you think you don't want into your life. It was nice to see Tori and Gaius fight through the not wanting anything serious and realize that what they had discovered in each other was actually pretty amazing.
Precious Pet was short and sweet. This is the only one that threw in some of the "pet play" aspect that can fall into bdsm. Other than how innocent Rachael was it was rather well written and was a nice way to end off this collection.
I definitely recommend this set to anyone looking for a bunch of stories that are bdsm but not in the mood to commit to any long reads.
***I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Whew, what a hot, sexy, steamy set of stories though I must admit I haven't had time to read all 13 but the several I have read tell me the rest will be just as amazing. Each one is unique and will get your juices flowing along with your imagination!
The Sybian Club by Selena Kitt: The ultimate in female fantasy, the Sybian, a device for total and complete female pleasure … boy did I learn something with this story. How can I get one? Tasha convinces her husband to buy one for her as long as she can get other people to sign up to use it to help fund the purchase. What a great in home business idea? The sparks fly with incredibly sexy, sensual and off-the-charts intense erotic experiences that will keep you enthralled and wanting to join the club.
His Desire, Her Surrender by Malia Mallory: I would recommend that you read His Need, Her Desire first, though not mandatory however you will miss out on how Tabitha and Marcus met and kicked off their sexy, sultry relationship. Of course, in this book Tabitha thinks Marcus has forgotten her after leaving Hawaii in a rush. Then a walk into a conference room at work turns her world upside down reigniting the sparks that they found in Hawaii. They have to figure out how to blend their two lives while exploring the Dom/sub relationship they started. Marcus is faced with family craziness as his sister tries to take over the family business. Marcus's sister even tries to use Tabitha against him, will he see the light? The steam factor is phenomenal between the two of them.
The Billionaire's Club: Deceiving Him by Terry Towers: Lexie is struggling to make a name for herself as a writer so she decides to infiltrate a secretive BDSM club that her roommate works at to reveal all the secrets. What she doesn't expect is to meet Vince and have the most amazing sexual experience of her life. What will she do when he finds out her secret?
Rough Edges by Adriana Hunter: Scarlett gets the biggest punch in the gut from her boyfriend, the worst thing anyone should say to someone, "your too fat for me to have sex with/you're not desirable." She decides a night out at a club and maybe a one-night stand will boost her confidence. I don't want to give away how her adventure went because there are some wonderful surprises that shocked and aroused me which made this story so much richer. Just know that your socks will be rocked as Scarlett sets out for her evening and a guy named Wesley will have you enthralled.
Precious Pet by Candy Quinn: Rachael needs to help her family pay medical bills and with her student loans, she just doesn't know how she is going to do it. Her friend Samantha gets her a one-time job to play hostess in lingerie at a party. This turns into a request to participate in another party to make 4 times the money. What happens next surprised me. In walks Daniel, she describes him as Thor, and she is asked to be his for the night. What a fabulous fantasy as Rachael opens herself to new and unexpected experiences yet feels like this is where/what she should be doing. I think I would like to be Daniel's pet!
Club Alpha Insightful Look at BDSM, there is something for everyone.
CLAIMING HIS TEASE AMY VALENTI Sparks fly when Lena and Josh meet for the fist time. He's a Dom and she's a switch that hasn't been submissive in years and doesn't want to back down. As they continue to run into each other at the club, her guard gradually lifts. After 8 long months he hears her say "I'm yours, Sir - yours to take, yours to use, yours to command, all yours..."
BREAKING BOUNDARIES SIENNA STAPLETON Sara is self conscious of her "chubby" body and is afraid to try anything but vanilla missionary sex under the covers in the dark. To keep her boyfriend, she enrolled them in a weekend workshop. What she gets is a complete sexual awakening and and appreciation for her body.
THE BILLIONAIRES CLUB:DECEIVING HIM TERRY TOWERS Terry Towers has thrilled us with her series "______ and the Girl from the Coffee Shop." In this story from 2012, Lexie sneaks into a members only BDSM club trying to get a story to further her career. Instead she meets Vince, a super sexy Level 5 Dom who wants everything from her. But can she submit fully to his every desires. Loved this story.
CLUB SORIA EMILIA KINKADE Maya caught her boyfriend cheating, so she decided to take a holiday to Thailand. While in Thailand she met a reclusive billionaire at an exclusive floating restaurant. He took her to his private island club and introduced her the the different aspects of BDSM.
THE SYBIAN CLUB SELENA KIT My favorite line- "if you build it, they will come! and man did they come... and come... and come! Tasha wanted a SYBIAN, at $2000 her husband said she needed to rent it out to make it pay for itself. The SYBIAN was such a hit, they soon added additional play rooms and more toys. But with more toys comes more problems and eventual patent swapping and threesomes.
HIS DESIRE, HER SURRENDER MALIA MALORY This is part of a series. The entire series was incredible. In this book, Tabitha has returned from Hawaii after Marcus collared her and left her. Marcus shows up at her work to explain they had unfinished business and he wasn't done with her yet. Hot and steamy sex with some corporate espionage thrown in.
ESCAPE PJ ADAMS Julie's dominant boyfriend moves away and she feels lost. After going back to Club Encounter alone, she goes on a journey of self discovery and learns that's it's ok to have some kink and if you don't like it, too bad!
PAVLOV ARDEN AOIDE Tyrone is searching for the perfect submissive but can't seem to find her anywhere, until he comes across his ex blindfolded. Can he get back what he lost?
CONTROL: MASTERS OF THE SANCTUARY ELSA DAY Amy thought sneaking in and writing a story about the BDSM club Sanctuary would save her career at the paper. Instead when she interrupted a scene with the club's owner J, she got more than she bargained for - a week as his submissive.
Overall, I would have given this 4.5 stars if that was an option. There is more to like than not, but some of the stories are shorts taken from other longer series and I just felt like there wasn't enough explanation for the transition to this collection. There are also a few typos and extra words left over from editing that make some parts hard to read. Not fun when you are in the middle of a really steamy scene.
Claiming His Tease: I liked this story line although I felt like the characters would have benefited from more development. And the club they were frequenting seemed a little off somehow. However, the scenes were great and really drew you in. I liked that he called her "Little Tease."
Breaking Boundaries was a great read about a training camp sort of club for BDSM. It seemed to throw you into the story with minimal explanation. But I'm betting this is part of some larger story line which is probably excellent. It was well written making you feel what Sara's feeling but seems a little strange that she would initiate a visit like this without knowing what she was getting into.
The Billionaires' Club: Deceiving Him is part of a bigger story and it was excellent! There is enough character development and plot to help you understand why you got here in the first place. She's a journalist that is writing an expose. The story she writes instead will draw you right in. I don't want to spoil the story, but I love his reaction to the printed article.
Club Soria is about a rebound relationship. She makes the unwise decision to go to a private island with a stranger but with the best possible outcome. However it is a little hard to believe that anyone in a foreign country would make the choice she had at first glance. And why would a sister allow her to go without making sure she wasn't kidnapped? However...the scenes are hot and I love how he drags thing out, taking her to the edge, but holding back himself. Really helped build the tension.
The Sybian Club was a long slow start. Honestly I thought about putting it down a few times. But so glad I didn't! After the second party (the first of which was a little unnecessary for the progress of the story in my eyes) the story became so consuming that I couldn't put it down.
His Desire, Her Surrender is a little strange for this collection of stories until you realize that it is actually the second part of a larger series. There are apparently some things in the first part that are not translated here so keep that in mind when you are reading it. However, there is a scene when he surprises her in a conference room that is quite memorable. As he jumps to the wrong conclusions, you realize that there is more intrigue to the story than just the relationship. Which I think you may better understand if you had read Part 1 first.
Let your inner inhibitions down and get ready for a great ride!! You will laugh, cry, pant, cringe, gasp and so much more while you work your way through this great selection of BDSM style stories by numerous equally-great authors! There is a little bit of, well I don’t know if it is everything since I haven’t read many books in this category, but there is definitely a lot of choices. Like I mentioned, I have not read a lot of BDSM style books, but I was pleasantly surprised with this collection! The focus on the stories is not about the sex, it is about the play & the buildup that comes from giving yourself over to someone else (or a couple of people) completely and to fully trust and be trusted. I was surprised at how many of the stories had Happily Ever Afters more commonly referred to as HEAs! They are like Naughty & Erotic Fairy Tales. The HEAs may vary in each book, since not everyone is looking for the same thing. They could be all about a saved marriage, one that is spiced up, meeting the man of your dreams to discovering things about YOURSELF that lets you have your HEA. Or maybe it is about two people just meeting to a couple not willing to give up on them to wanting more spice. I found it to be very classy and it was ALL consensual. That being said, this collection is not for everyone. If you don’t like to read about spanking, bondage, watching and being watched or to have your characters find what they are looking for, like their version of Prince Charming, or someone to love them wholly & completely while having a great time, sometimes maybe kinky, sometimes so erotically that you are begging with the characters, than this probably is not for you. I found myself out of my depth on some of the stories, or parts of them, but I found that I was so focused on the characters and whether they were going to stay together or is this just a one-night stand, or if they would even WANT anything more than that one time, that I found the sex to be just part of the story and it didn’t bother me that they were doing things I maybe didn’t even understand fully, but it wasn’t the main focus. It is a self-discovery process that makes for some really great stories!!! I do have to say that there were two stories that really stood out to me. The first being Claiming His Tease by Amy Valenti – I even cried when I got to the end. I don’t want to give specifics because I do not want to ruin it for you! The other story that really touched me is by Sienna Stapleton. I love how it was written and that it was written from the POV of someone who knows what that is all about! I felt closer to this story because I felt like that Beth could have been about me…to a point! I sure as hell don’t have a hot sexy Adam (or anyone else!) to work through it with, but hey, if I have learnt anything from reading it is that dreams can come true! And come and come….
Club Alpha: A BDSM Romance Boxed Set by Selena Kitt, Amy Valenti, Sienna Stapleton, Terry Towers, Emilia Kincade, Malia Mallory, PJ Adams, Arden Aoide, Elsa Day, Juliette Jaye, Adriana Hunter, Sophie Sawyer, Candy Quinn ** I received an ARC from the Author in exchange for my honest review.** I have only read one story so far but will continue to update as I finish others.
Claiming His Tease by Amy Valenti
Breaking Boundaries by Sienna Stapleton Breaking Boundaries was a very enjoyable quick, sensual read. The main characters are Beth and Adam who have been together for two years. They are perfect together with one exception, Beth's poor self-image and sexual inhibitions are jeopardizing their intimate relationship. Beth signs them up for a weekend sexual therapy retreat in an attempt to better herself and save their relationship. Over the course of the weekend, with Adam acting as her training Master, Beth begins to grow and let go of her self-doubt and inhibitions. We also get to see what a sweet and loving man Adam is. This was a wonderful story about two people who loved each other deeply. Because of their love they were willing to step outside their comfort zone and work hard to overcome any personal issues, thus finding personal growth which improved their relationship.
The Billionaires’ Club: Deceiving Him by Terry Towers
Claiming His Tease- I really enjoyed this story! It was great to have Lena be a switch but mostly Domme, so to meet someone who had her wanting to submit was something she didn't want to do. The tension throughout the story was awesome! Lots of surprises pop up to keep things interesting. Breaking Boundaries- Need to read The Billionaire's Club:Deceiving Him- Need to read Club Soria- Need to read The Sybian Club- Oh my goodness, I want a Sybian! This was such a wonderful, intense, and oh so hot story! I loved the idea of the club, but things progress and some unexpected things happen. This is a definite MUST read! You will not be disappointed! His Desire, Her Surrender- Need to read Escape- I loved this story! It was great to see a woman who yes was still lrft haunted by her ex, but so comfortable with her and her sexual preferences. You follow her along while living her "normal" life, then feeling at home at the club. Of course there are some surprises along the way but it was an amazing and hot story! Pavlov- Need to read Control: Masters of tbe Sanctuary-Need to read At the Billionaire's Command-Need to read Rough Edges- Need to read Club Red- Need to read Precious Pet- Need to read
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
4 out of 5 Stars
Claiming His Tease by Amy Valenti I liked that although much of their courtship was public their consummation was private. I also like that she made him wait and work for it. The best victories are those hard fought for.
Breaking Boundaries by Sienna Stapleton I loved the hero in this story. He is sensitive to her and her needs. I love the idea of a safe place to train and learn for those exploring their sensual nature.
Escape by PJ Adams I felt there were actually three stories, loosely intertwined and the reader was pulled between them.
Pavlov by Arden Aoide Going on without your other half is hard and made the hero seem harsh. It's especially excruciating when you know it's your fault they are alone. I'm glad they got their second chance.
Rough Edges by Adriana Hunter This one was a reality check. When guys feel cornered they do dumb things. She was nice enough not to give up on him.
Club Red by Sophia Sawyer This was an interesting role reversal.
Precious Pet by Candy Quinn This one was an interesting read. It felt dirty, in a good way.
Recommendation: I liked most of the stories in the anthology. A few of them weren't to my tastes but overall, a good read.
"Club Alpha isn't a place--it's a state of mind you're going to want to visit again and again." This is a very accurate explanation for this unique example of BDSM romance stories. When most people think of BDSM , pain, whips and floggers are a few of the things that immediately come to mind. Although you will find examples of these items in the included stories they are not the main focus. Each story is different, some are more hard core than others but all revolve around individual sexuality. Everyone has their own ideas about what is taboo and what is not. Most of it focuses around upbringing, religion and what society sees as acceptable. Unfortunately, we are not all wired the same and what works for one person will not always work for another. These stories highlight individual journeys and struggles as our characters strive to find balance between the head and the heart and the soul and the mind. The stories were well written, had an even flowing storyline and some steamy Hot and Heavy sex scenes. The characters were interesting, the individual stories were meant to engage the reader and they were definitely worth reading.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review of the anthology.
This is the first BDSM anthology I have read. This collection has everything you expect from the title and more. Each story was well written with plot, interesting characters placed in challenging situations and fantastic grammar.
Every story has very steamy scenes in them. However, each one is unique in plot and approach to the BDSM theme. And they leave me wanting to know more about these characters. Luckily, quite a few are part of either a series. One, His Desire, Her Surrender by Malia Mallory, is the second in the series. I was able to pick up this part of the story with no problem, although I now need to go back and read the first, along with the third and fourth.
If you are looking for interesting quick reads in the BDSM theme, pick this anthology up. You won’t be disappointed!
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I love boxed sets/anthologies because it gives me a chance to try new authors while savoring the writing of authors I already know. This set of 13 stories are unique but each addresses some taboo associated with sexual relationships. Each is sizzling in its own way.
I’m a huge fan of Arden Aoide, and she did not disappoint. Ardent fans will recognize characters, and new fans will fall in lust.
The stories are well written and plots are well paced. The storylines have more to offer than just BDSM and D/s relationships. Some of the stories are the beginnings of series that readers can continue to follow.
At the time of posting, the price of this boxed set is a steal at $0.99. How can you pass up that deal?
Due to the content, this book is recommended for mature audiences.
I found this to be a very different and unique way that some people come together in love and romance this was totally interesting way to express their sexual desires that may be strange to some and but normal to others in how they enjoy sex I liked reading some of these stories others were way out there in that some liked a little pain to a bit more extensive pain toward sexual orgasm fun in mind but never to just hurt or torture in the name of sexual satisfaction If you are in to bdsm you will love these different stories to life. Each of the authors told each story in a very interesting way you felt exactly how the characters felt and what was happening with the couples. Readers 18 and older only.
I received an ARC for an honest review. Wow! These 13 stories are steaming hot, each and everyone of them. These stories just keep your attention with their intensely hot stories and you find yourself turning pages as fast as you can with no regard to what time it is. Some of these authors were new to me and I always love to find new authors that I like. I am looking forward to reading much more from these authors Such a great deal getting all these stories at a fantastic price with this collection. You have got to get this book it will definitely heat up your cold winter nights as well as your significant other. What are you waiting for, details no way get this Book and start reading you will be glad you did. Thanks for the steamy hot reads
This was a quite a steamy collection of BDSM romances. Each author in this set has contributed their talents and gave the reader a variety of sexy experiences through their characters .
One book that stood out in this set was "The Sybian Club" by the fabulous Selena Kitt. It told a twisted story of women and the Sybian machine.... the center piece of the story. What woman wouldn't want a guaranteed climax during a sexual encounter with or without a man? We are all eager to live a fun and interesting lifestyle
Overall, I highly recommend this to readers that enjoy this genre. The set is diverse and I loved every story!!!
This set is full of super hot stories. So far my favorite is Selena Kitts 'The Sybian Club', this story has a great premise and does not fail to deliver. I recommend reading these stories while in bed with the person you like to play with the most....several of them will inspire you for several nights of new experiences. My other 2 favorites in the set were The Billionaires' Club: Deceiving Him - Terry Towers & Breaking Boundaries - Sienna Stapleton. After reading this box set I have gained a few new authors that I had never read before, but will now be checking out some of their other books.
Can you say hot hot hot?!! Wow! I started reading and thought my kindle was going to blow up my hands were sweaty and that wasn't all that was wet. What a ride! From submission to dominance from the top hottest authors around! Im so thankful I got the opportunity to read this arc because its definitely worth reading!! The sensual deep erotic flowing page to page every single book was amazing! Im sure you'll love this and it will definitely give you some hot fantasies. Once you start reading you'll be glued I promise you that!
That was one sizzling HOT anthology :) I love sexy, dominant alpha males so that was exactly up my alley :)
I definitely enjoyed reading about all those alpha males and how they handle their women (yummy) ;) They definitely made me hyperventilate and melted my panties.
Although there were some stories that weren't exactly my type (they had more of a F/F vibe and I definitely prefer the alpha male) I enjoyed the book and I am definitely recommending it to everyone who enjoys erotic stories with sexy and dominant alpha males ;)
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Club Alpha in exchange for an honest review. The authors have the ability to write well-written stories that are emotional and captivating. These stories are steamy, sexy, and thought provoking. They are stories of a deep and erotic exploration of love, life, and sexuality.
There is a reason why the authors of Club Alpha are some of my favorites. They write stories that are hot, sensual, and sexy and will have you burning up your e-reader with how fast you turn the pages.
