Songs of Submission #1 included

by Pamela Ann

Can't get enough of Fifty Shades of Grey ? Then this white-hot collection is for you. Eight New York Times, USA TODAY, and Amazon Bestselling authors bring you the best of their steamy erotic romances, filled with sinfully sexy doms, masters, alphas, and the women who love them.

Bartered / Pamela Ann: I was a connoisseur of beautiful things, women included. I had not just one, but three--all exotic, stunning, and would do anything I asked. My life was perfect...until a little minx came along. The second our eyes clashed, the animal in me ignited, and I was challenged with something risky. For the very first time in my life, I knew a woman could be anything, nothing...or everything.

Becoming Sir / Ella Dominguez: Reliable, trustworthy, loyal to a fault - Sawyer is the kind of man other men want to be; a real man's man. But behind the facade of his tough exterior and deadly silence hides a man with dark secrets. Always content to be in the shadows, now is the time of his sexual awakening. This is Sawyer's journey into becoming Dominant, Master, Sir.

Gloria's Secret / Nelle L'Amour: Gloria Long, the beautiful, self-made CEO of Gloria's Secret, the world's largest retailer of sexy lingerie, harbors a dark personal secret that inhibits her own sexual desires. Her powerful defenses melt when she meets Jaime Zander, the devastatingly gorgeous advertising guru, who is determined to control her both in the boardroom and bedroom.

The Agreement / S.E. Lund: Kate McDermott tells herself her interest in BDSM is just research and nothing personal. She hopes that the carefully worded agreement will keep her relationship with the Dominant she will interview strictly professional. Then 'Master D' - Drake Morgan, M.D. - walks into the interview and Kate is mortified for not only is he gorgeous, he's the son of her father's best and oldest friend. Unable to resist his determined seduction, Kate's smitten and things are going to get complicated...

Beg / CD Reiss: Jonathan Drazen is a known womanizer and a gorgeous piece of man I'm not letting into my heart. Ever. Yeah, he's rich, beautiful, charming as hell, and he has a wit as sharp as a double-edged razor... but he's made it perfectly clear that this is a short- term thing.We get in, get it on, get out. Done.Right?Right.

Shades of Pearl / Arianne Richmonde: Pearl Chevalier is a beautiful, divorced, forty-year-old documentary producer. Not only has she given up on love but is convinced that great sex is only something you read about. But when she meets social media billionaire, Alexandre Chevalier, French, sexy as hell, and fifteen years her junior, her world is turned upside down. Jump aboard this USA Today bestselling roller coaster ride of sex, lies, passion, and intrigue.

Sarasota Sin / Talyn Scott: Linked by tragedy, Avery and Dylan Easton have the world at their feet, money and power at their fingertips, and a private sex club they own at their disposal. Mistresses have come and gone yet when they meet Payton Calloway, they see a woman to love, one who can tame their untamable ways and heal their tortured souls.

Saving Abel / Gina Whitney: Abel Gunner, lead singer of Lethal Abel and Gia must face their demons before they can embrace a future together. In the end, they're faced with two choices: fight for their love or die with their demons.

What an incredible collection of kink from an amazing set of authors. I haven't had time to read them all yet but I have read 3 and enjoyed all to the extent that I had to finish each series. Grab this amazing deal and dive in!

Gloria's Secret by Nelle L'Amour: Nelle L'Amour got me again. She has given me 2 wonderful characters that allowed me to completely escape into their world. Gloria is a self-sufficient, successful female that runs her own multi-billion dollar business. As she looks to start a new product line she seeks out a new advertising company believing "Jamie", as a woman, would understand the lingerie/sex toy industry and how to sell this to women. However Jamie is full of surprises when he shows up as a man, the same man she encountered in an elevator that same morning. The push/pull between Gloria and Jamie is fabulous with these 2 strong willed/independent personalities. When they do finally give in, we, the readers get to enjoy the pantie melting sex scenes. The story does end with a big question which has me wondering what will happen next. Anxiously awaiting part 2!

Beg by CD Reiss: C.D. Reiss has a way of writing that pulls you in and won't let go until the bitter end. I read Beg, Tease and Submit begin the journey of Monica and Jonathan. Monica is a musician living in Los Angeles who has to work as a waitress as she struggles to get her music heard with her best friends Gabby and Darren. Her first encounter with Jonathan is memorable as she spills a drink on him and the loses her job but he owns the restaurant. Well, Monica's directness derails Jonathan's plan so let the games begin. Jonathan is intrigued by Monica and finds himself pursuing her. This is a wonderful story about a relationship where both parties have their careers and family issues to deal with while at the same time finding a way to be a couple. They both also have to work on the D/s elements that they share in the bedroom. All of these elements create an amazing journey that as a reader I was really glad I jumped into. Be sure to move on to Tease after reading Beg, you won't regret it!

Shades of Pearl by Arianne Richmonde: Pearl is 40 and produces documentaries. She meets Alexandre at a coffee shop, a 20ish 'sex on legs' self-made billionaire. Pearl really wanted to produce a documentary about his success but she didn't expect to be drawn to Alexandre like a moth to a flame. The road to a HEA has many challenges but also a lot of wonderful romantic encounters. Arianne Richmonde gives you a great beginning and I truly enjoyed taking this journey to be in Pearl and Alexadre's world.

Here is a Partial Review and Ill be posting again as I read the rest of the book.

Bartered Pamela Ann

4 stars

I wasn't sure I was going to like this book, mainly because of one of the characters. But as I kept reading I found it became a great into story since this is book 1 . I actually adored Hugo, he is just what he. A very rich man that is used to getting his way. He doesn't seem to flaunt it, for him it in his nature. Because of a issue in his past he is known for his reputation with women. As a owner of a high end casino, he is relentless and direct in his business. The way he is in buiness comes to light when a gambler... gamble too much, said gambler then offers up his own daughter for payment on his debt. Isobel I could say that her youth gives her an excuse to be such a haughty, judgmental and snippy young woman. I would have thought with a tyrant of a father, Isobel would have been less waspish in her attitude. The girl went in with eyes wide open and offered herself as payment for her fathers casino debt. All through the story she holds Hugo in contempt... acting more the brat than she has right to. She came up with her own stipulations for the contract.... Hugo showed graciousness by agreeing to her terms, when in fact he didn't need to. She ran out and cold but mostly that could be laid at her own feet and at the end... cold reality and a very good lesson to be learned and taught by Hugo. Loved it... and now need to next book please.

The Agreement / S.E. Lund
3 Stars

I actually started this a few days ago. I suppose if the Dom/sub got all great all through the book it wouldn’t be much of a book. The up and down Emo-roller coaster effect from the sub kind of got on my nerve, both "friends" really got on my nerve. I liked it as a read.

Sarasota Sin Talyn Scott
4 stars

First oh Ms. Scott you're so NOT fair.... damn cliff hangers!
When you have more money then you know what to do with, you just assume you're entitled. On the other side of the rich coin is the side where you have to scrape and save to maintain a normal life style. Avery and Dylan are closer than best friends they even share the same skeletons in the closet, as well as their women.
Payton's first impression in meeting an Easton...a drunk, hot and firey kiss in the hallway of a gala event. When she meets Avery she won’t remember and then thinks he is the hired help. (smiles) What surprises and mystery we have in this amazing read! Love it... Avery has some issues he seriously needs to work on, Payton has her and her partners investment to save and Dylan will have to do some work at keeping it all together... oh and let’s not forget the “gifts” that are being left.
As always Talyn brings it all together for you, she has always been a go to author for me and will continue to be. Great read...enjoy

Saving Abel Gina Whitney
Rated 3 on story 4 on heat

So I usually stay away from the whole “Rock-star” them. They just never appealed to me. A first time read for me by Ms. Whitney. Though this one did gave me a hard time with rating it, I'd still recommend it to my friends and look forward to reading more for this author.
The characters we’re awesome... I simply loved Abel, his cockiness and self-assured. It’s what pulled me to the book in the first place after reading the synopsis. Gia well.. a new sub? Sassy close to the bratty level, but she was fun as well.
Ms. Whitney wrote some hella hot scenes... that had me squirming in my chair. The detailing and explaining the Apadravya just wow.. definite rawr factor. Abel and Gia came together explosively. For me that carried the book more than the actual story line. With not enough story for a story-line on top of a killer cliff hanger and me going wth... now with that said. It was a decent read and of course it’s the first book in the series and yes you will need book 2, when its ready. I’m looking forward to it and hope that she gives a bit more story to chew on. Get it, Grab it, read it .. Enjoy it. I did.

Here is a taste of what you will find in this box set:

Saving Abel by Gina Whitney

I am a sucker for a rocker! If on top of being a rocker he is an alpha beast... yep, I am there too. This book is raw to the core and full of sensitive undercurrents. You can almost feel the vibe of a damaged soul and you wonder why he is this way.

Love Cindy and Wood. Adore Gia! Obviously, Abel and Gia are the focus. Their love story is not smooth sailing but it is a rockin' ride you won't forget. How can these two survive each other? How can they live apart?


Shades of Pearl by Arianne Richmonde

This is a mature romance between a 40 yr old woman and a 25 yr old man. It is a hurricane of emotions with a touch of dominance. Their physical love is engrossing and HOT!

This book is well written, with characters well defined where you become so involved it plays in your mind like a movie. A MUST READ! About time someone wrote a love story of a 40 yr old woman. She is old enough to appreciate the affair. At her age let no one say that feelings and passion cannot consume you. These two are on FIRE! I could not put this book down.

You are a talented writer Arianne Richmonde, you do not disappoint your readers!


Beg by CD Reiss

This is a collision of music, art, BDSM, dominance, submission, possession, obsession, guilt, unresolved love, unforgettable sex and memorable characters.

CD Reiss masterfully weaves a plot full of mystery and suspense while giving us erotic love scenes to rival all best selling books in any genre.

I fell in love with Jonathan from the first. Just like Monica, this man was so real and mysterious that he immediately gripped my heart and did not let go. I adore Monica with her sarcastic view of life and quick wit. She is a survivor and fighter. She deserves to succeed. The way the story evolves, her path to success and a happy ending is not a given and is fraught with obstacles.

I became very emotional while reading this series. I have to admit that I experienced every emotion possible to a human being while I devoured these pages. At the end, I was sobbing relentlessly, unable to control myself. I had no clue how CD Reiss was going to end the series and I must tell you the ending will ... surprise you. I did not expect it after reading all the installments.

NO SPOILERS HERE! This is one of those series that any reader of romance and erotica must read. It is unique in the quality of the writing and its plot line. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a superb book and loves life.

This is a box set to start you on the road to passion and romance!

Becoming Sir 4* Very interesting read, glad I finally read it. I will be reading the other books in this series....probably should have started with The Art of Submission and worked from there but this can be read as a stand alone.

8 great books in one box set.... What a genius idea!!


Gloria's Secret by Nelle L'Amour.

..... First I want to say OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!! Again!!!!
Never get tired of reading this one as it's one of my favourite books written by one of my favourite author Nelle who became a good friend of mine..
It's so refreshing to read a woman Gloria Long who is so strong & successful in what she does! Jaime Zanders *swoon* is sooooo hot like hell!!! One of my favourite couples!

Shades of Pearl by Arianne Richmonde,

... Wow I've read the Pearl Trilogy a while back.. I totally got into these 2 characters Pearl & Alexandre as it's was so beautifully written, couldn't put it down!

Highly recommend this fabulous erotic box set!! Go on....

[Janine · Rating 3 out of 5]

I usually enjoy anthologies, it's a great way to discover new authors or stories from some of your favourites. This was just an okay read for me. I bought it specifically for C.D. Reiss and was not disappointed by her story. If you haven't read the Songs of Submission series you really should. I also enjoyed Becoming Sir by Ella Dominguez. The other stories I found to be fairly mundane and predictable and for being in an anthology called Shades of Kink I did not find them that kinky. Maybe my idea of kinky is a bit more kinky. I think I only paid a couple bucks so for that price it was okay.

Saving Abel by Gina Whitney
So far I have only had the opportunity to read this, looking forward to reading the others.

This was an amazing read which I am very happy to have had the opportunity to read. It moved along at an amazing pace, has characters that will grab you and not let go who leave you wanting more and a story that keeps you interested from the moment that you pick up this book. This is a must read, no doubt about it.
