Katie Darling loses her parents in a tragic car accident. Because of her father's illness before the accident, her college fund will only pay for one semester. While studying in the library, another female student approaches her and gives her a phone number. She tells Katie that if she is accepted, she could possibly be hired as an assistant to a billionaire and have entire college tuition paid in full. After the initial interview, Katie waits a week before she receives the news that she has an interview with Jace Weatherton. Katies car won't start the day of the interview so she borrows her room mates, of course she is late for her appointment. When Katie arrives she is surprised to see the man she will be working for is a gorgeous blond, and not all that old. Jake makes it clear to Katie that for no excuse will he accept tardiness and she will be punished. After informing her that she has the job, Jake made it clear that being late was unacceptabe and that there are consequences. He uses a very firm hand on Katie's backside and makes it clear that she will be punished again if she displeases him. I thought this was a fun read, and enjoyed it very much. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Ana finally admits to herself that she wants Dale to dominate her in the bedroom.

Dale can't forget Anna, he wants her but because of his kinks doesn't think she will have anything to do with him. When Anna sends Dale aa picture of herself tied to her bed, Dale can't get to her apartment fast enough. The pages of this book sizzle after Dale gets to Anna's apartment. Mostly light BDSM, a very well written book. I thought this book was fantastic and hot, hot, hot!!

Playing Games:A Canyon Cove Novel by Liliana Rhodes

Cassie Monroe spent seven years in college and hasn't found a job. She moves to Canyon Cove and gets a job in a gym as a physical therapist. Her first day she meets Gabriel Kohl.

I hope that was enough of a teaser to get many more people interested in reading this wonderful love story. I enjoyed this book tremendously and will love to read more books from this series. I think it is a must read and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a "happily ever after" story.

This book is full of intense BDSM, as well as the violence involved in martial arts competitions. I loved the strong characters described in this book, as well as the fighting competitions, and the intense BDSM scenes. A must read.

The Greek Billionaire and I by Marion Tee

I loved this book! Velvet has left her phone in the school library. When she gets there the librarian hands the phone to her saying that a gentleman found her phone. When her phone rings she answers it and this is her introduction to Mykolas Sallis. This is the beginning of a relationship that takes place over the phone during the first weeks. Mykolas is captivated by Velvet's snarky, smart alecky attitude. Velvet for the most part is confused by the greek billionaires interest in her. When they finally meet in person, Mykolas has had a public building closed down, and it is down and dirty, somewhat public sex. There is marriage, a breakup and a very public apology. I think this book is a must read.

I received this in as an ARC for an honest review. I will try not to post spoilers but something may slip.

The Billionaire's Student By Savannah Reardon - 4 Stars

This book starts off with a bit of depressing, which sets the story line up nicely while also quickly moves onto college life. It has a Curvy female who is learning the hard facts of life. She gets a tip from another student that leads to the meat if you will of this story.

You have the standard virgin high school girl, orphaned who is broke and needs a job. It has some nice twists, not unexpected but it is well written. Has a super nice plot, but the billionaire and the virgin is about over done. Which is why I only gave it 4 stars. I love the writing style of this author. This is a super hot sexy story with sexy scenes that can make your mouth water.

The Interview By Abby Weeks - 4 Stars

This story is told in a 2 person story line. Which gives you both the female side and the male side, it also makes it that much richer and interesting.

It is very well written, has a nice story line and no Grammar or spelling mistakes. It is very short, feels like the author was in a rush to finish it so she took huge jumps to make everything that happens in the book do so in 24 hours. For this reason alone this book only gets a 4 star rating.

Playing Games: A Canyon Cove Novel By Liliana Rhodes - 5 Stars

This story is told in a 2 person story line. Which gives you both the female side and the male side, it also makes it that much richer and interesting.

I have to say that so far this is my favorite book in this set! It is fast paced but not overly so. It is very realistic, and is possible to happen in real life. Which I like a lot. Not overly sexual content but what is here is super hot and caring.

The chemistry between the female lead and the male was out of this world. As, your reading you can see the sparks fly between the two of them. From start to finish!

There was no grammar or spelling mistakes. Nice transitions from one place to the next as this author takes you around the city. Some nice twists in this story as your reading that some may not see coming. I only wish I could give it more stars!

Hunting for Curves By Julianna Reyer - 5 Stars

This story is told in a multi person story line. Which gives you both the female side and the male side, it also makes it that much richer and interesting.

The main young lady is written as if she is a scared mouse. As, the story moves forward you can watch her grow into a beautiful confident woman who knows just what power she holds as such!

You also get to see the struggle and the work it takes to make a threesome work. That it is not always roses. I loved the fact the author made this story believe able. That you could be picked up by 2 males in a bar and made VERY VERY Happy!

Now, this story does have lots of hot sexy scenes, so be ready to explore a world of not just M/M sexual choice but also M/F, M/F/M, and M/M/F this is one super nova hot story that is well written and desirable!

I found it very hard to put this book down to even sleep, it was just that well written. No grammar or spelling mistakes!! Which is huge for me. Thank you for a great story to read!!

Safeword: Matte By Candace Blevins - 5 Stars

Now, this is a super fast paced story written around the kick boxing and a dojo. This book is so on for the terms, actions and well almost everything to do with BDSM that I was drooling over the sexy male lead. (I Still am drooling) Not only is the writing almost perfect but the transitions from one scene to the next is perfect.

The author had this so hot that I couldn't put it down but then got a tad warm and had to go take a break. IT has great twists and turns that keep you on your toes as you read it. A great balance between reality and fantasy for this book. Most of which I could see happening in my life or a friends life.

All I can say I wish I could give this so much more then just the 5 stars as it should have 10 at the least!

The Greek Billionaire and I By Marian Tee - 5 Stars

This book starts out at a crime scene in a residential area of a town. The young 18 year old Dotty who is a witness to it all is trying to control of everything in the preface of the book. As, you enter Chapter 1 your in a girl's school with a Greek Billionaire who seems to be over the top. But as you read there is no connection to Dotty and the new main lead of Velvet a single young teacher. There is nothing that even by Chapter 3 connects the 2 to give you an ideal of why this writer put that grisly scene in the front of the book.

As the book progresses Velvet and Mykolas seem to have a very hot phone sex but no real sense of time passing. Now, the phone sex is just a prelude to the bet that is who will look who up first online and then ask to meet.

The Identity of the two young ladies is written about later in the book, but I am not going to post it as it would be a HUGE spoiler.. so you will have to read it to figure it out. But this book will make you think and think hard about the story line as it progresses.

This book is very fast paced and has lots of twists and turns. Some you will not see coming till it hits you over the head. It is VERY well written and compelling you to finish it before putting it down.

There is no spelling or grammar mistakes in this book which makes the reading of it very easy!

The Billionaire's Runaway Curves By Danielle Duncan - 3 Stars

Now, this story is well written, is right on topic of dominate males. It has a curvy woman.. a 9 year gap from the last meeting and the current meeting. But it did not overly strike me as a super hot or even hot romance. It was good, it had no grammar or spelling mistakes. But I was bored when reading it.

No major twists or turns, no out there chemistry between the the main people in the book. It was not overly long either. It has a nice strong plot, but something is missing so it was an okay book.



His Weakness By E.K. Sabins

This book I have to say has already made me chuckle and snicker as I am reading it. The discription of Mother Parker is so detailed that I can see her controling not only the house but her daughter and grandson even if they do not like it.

The only Major flaw I find with this book is it give no ideal of when this story is Happening what year. In Chapter 3 it IMPLIES that the book is set in the flapper clothing stage but so far no ideal when .. which is completely frustrating to me as a reader.

All I can say is WOW!! This book blew me right out of the water with the Kinky stuff in it. The author hit it on the mark with how she has both the main lady and the male feelings on the BDSM for the early "flapper" year. I have to say I HIGHLY enjoyed this super nova read!!!


The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop By Terry Towers - 3 stars

This book has a nice upbeat to the start of it which keeps going as you move into the story.

I have to say this story is cute. It has a couple of hot scenes but the main man is not overtly Dominate. The story is well written, nice plot but it sounds more like a fairy tale about some tail then a romance novel. Yes, the 21 year old is a virgin (old news) and he is the older man.

But it sounds more like a fairy tale with the ending rushed. It has no grammar or spelling mistakes, a strong plot.. but it lacks meat to the story. I wish I could honestly give this story more then 3 stars but even that is pushing it as it is super short.



Billionaires in Disguise: Rae by Blair Babylon - 5 Stars

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!



Fifty Shades of Erotica: Anything He Requires By Michelle Fox - 4 Stars

Now this book was very tame compared to the others but that did not make it that less of a good read. It is a well thought out plot. It has no grammar mistake or spelling mistakes. It is about an animal person and a CEO.

Now, it does write like a fairy tale but who doesn't like a fairy tale once in awhile. The great thing is this has a nice steady pace not to fast and not to rushed.

I would have liked to have given this a higher rating but it is a little short. Still a good story line and nice chemistry between the mains.

I loved the complexness of which that is Dale and the hidden layers of Abby. My rating : 4 stars ****
Playing Games by Liliana Rhodes--Luscious Cassie Monroe moves to Canyon Cove with only one thing in mind—getting a job. But she gets a job and has an encounter with her sexy billionaire boss. Which she finds out that it is more than she might be able to handle. The sparks here are HOT. Cassie and Gabriel dance around the chemistry and I love how ALPHA he is with her. My rating: 4.6 stars ****
Hunting for Curves by Julianne Reyer—Think of a very shy girl, a billionaire CEO, plus his longtime male lover. What could happen? A possible recipe for calamity or will one night show that one is never enough? This was a great story. I really got into the 3some and the tangled web wove made me think about how the emotions drove up the passions. It didn’t feel contrived as some stories have felt in the past involving 3some so kudos to the author. My rating: 4.6 stars ****
Safeword: Matte by Candace Belvins--Matte, pronounced mah-tay, is Japanese for stop, and is used in some martial arts to end a fight. Sam is a sexual submissive but she enjoys fighting. She has a lot of kinks and has a hard time finding a man who can deal with that. Her safe word is MATTE. Enter Ethan-The man who could be the man she needs. This story was super-hot and full of sexual situations and scenes. If you are easily offended, then I wouldn’t recommend this story but if you are like me, then this story will be right in your wheelhouse. Fantastic. Full of great scenes. My rating : 4.8 stars ****
The Greek Billionaire and I - Marian Tee--Too proud to let Greek billionaire Mykolas know she's in love with him, schoolteacher Velvet ends up accepting his offer for a marriage of convenience. This story has the emotional twists and turns you know to expect from Ms. Tee. Keep the tissues handy. Velvet has some deep pain in her past and needed hope in her life and when meeting Mykolas hoped he would be her dream come true –WOW! Loved the twists and turns in this story. My rating : 4.9 stars *****
The Billionaire’s runaway Curves – Danielle Duncan---A short but charming romantic story, about Ellie who ran from Theo when she found out that she was pregnant with their child. She thought he wouldn’t want the baby. Now nearly nine years later, Theo finds Ellie when they run into each other. I felt the pain each other felt. I have to tell you, this story had me in tears a few times but it was delicious and I would recommend it as a great story to read. The heat factor is a plus too. My rating: 4.2 stars ****
His Weakness by E.K. Sabins—This is a historical romance from the author. I will admit it is different from the modern day in this box set. I think it is set in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Ellie has had her world turned upside down when her parents die she must secure a guardian or a spouse in order to gain her inheritance and here enters James Parkman. The characters in the story delve into Strong BDSM - quite explicit—there are some twists and turns in this story as well. I will say, I didn’t enjoy this story as much as I have the others-could be because it is a period piece. Nothing against the author, it is just , perhaps due to the vagueness of when the era it is set in. I couldn’t get a good feel. My rating: 3.8 stars ***
The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop – Terry Towers. A short and sweet love story. Ms Towers writes some of the best stories out there. This is book two in the series. Jesse and Jeff make a wonderful couple. Jesse loves Senator Jeff and always waits on him. Senator Jeff hates the coffee in this shop but loves seeing his favorite coffee girl, Jesse. There is a pull between the two. You need to read this story to find out how their relationship develops. Does Jesse ever let Jeff know she wants to be his forever? This is one of the best out of the series. My rating: 4.8 stars *****

There is multiple parts to this story, FYI on this. I love this story and cant wait to read more by this author. My rating : 5 stars *****
Anything He Requires by Michelle Fox-- Animal trainer Jessica Kingston is hired by Jacob Daniels to train a playful but headstrong puppy but in all reality, its Jessica that is being trained. Trained to do Jacob’s bidding. This is a quick, delicious story about two people who need someone in their lives. It is hot, the chemistry is great. I wish there was a little more pages to the story but what was there was fantastic. My rating: 4.2 stars ****

[Nikki · Rating 4 out of 5]

Exciting, Erotic and Exhilarating

I'm not one for erotica, but when I do get that urge to read something steamy, I want something in the lines of BDSM. Guess I might be a closet Sub.

I enjoyed most of the stories in this collection, and as with most collections, there are some that aren't quite as good as others. I purchased this thinking that all stories were along the lines of BDSM. There were some that didn't fit that genre in my opinion, they were just graphic sex scenes and no spanking etc.

I also found in a lot of these stories there were issues with editing. Whereas, I had to read a sentence several times to make sense of it. This sometimes took away from the pleasure trip. Authors should note, that proof reading and editing should be valued highly, otherwise it makes your work look sloppy and and amateurish.

Overall, if you want a collection of short stories to titillate and excite you, this should do the trick.

[Cheryl · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shades of Surrender: Fifty by Fifty #4 is an amazing collection of romantic and steamy tales of wealthy and handsome alpha billionaires falling for the girl. A set of stories written by several creative authors in the romance gene. While these books have some very alpha makes, not all have weak and timid females. They depict strong females looking for stronger men to take them to new heights of sexual pleasure. A couple books needed some additional proofing or editing but overall content was amazingly sensuous and kept me busy all weekend. What a great way to see some great authors combine their talents in one boxed set. I was given this collection of sexy romances in exchange for an honest review.

The Interview - Abby Weeks 5 Stars

A steamy chance at taking on a very wealthy and handsome client who has been accused of a crime brings Anna Carter to the doors of Dale Thomas. Not sure of her potential client's innocence or guilt she goes through a lengthy interview. Sexual fantasies turn into reality for both Anna and Dale. I love Abby Weeks' creativity and her ability to turn normal and possibly mundane activities or events into fiery and passionate sexual encounters.

Playing Games - Liliana Rhodes 5 Stars

Another hot and sexy romance. Cassie takes a job with her roommate's uncle at a local fight club where she encounters the mysterious and gorgeous owner Gabriel whose playboy reputation follows him. But Cassie captures his eye and heart and he finds so much more than just sex. Follow the pair as they fight their mutual attraction for each and try to keep their relationship strictly professional. So much heat between them, and when they finally get together it's combustible

Hunting for Curves - Julianne Ryer 5 Stars

Such a dream come dream or at least the fantasies of many women. Two men to worship and adore her at the same time. Add in the relationship between the two men and getting to be the "fly on the wall" watching their sexual encounters participating when she feels like it. Did I mention wealthy and handsome these men are? Just when her life seems to be at a miserable standstill in walks two attractive yet gay men looking to add a little excitement into their relationship.

Safeword: Matte - Candace Blevins 4.5 Stars

Wow! If you enjoy stories that involve BDSM then Safeword is for you. A strong woman versus a large hulk of a muscled man. Attorney who is involved in martial arts meets her ideal man. One who loves her strength in the outside world but thrives on her submissive nature in the bedroom. Lots of rough sex, hot and passionate sex. Great great generator on another cold winter's day.

The Greek Billionaire and I - Marian Tee 5 Stars

Ohmygosh! Sweet and Romantic, Sexy and Hot. A delicious romantic love story in true Marian Tee form. Mysterious and sexy Greek Billionaire creates a rich fantasy with Velvet.

His Weakness - E.K. Sabins 4.5 Stars

Hot little tale that takes place during the roaring twenties. Filled with hot sex and a virgin. Alpha male that is wealthy and gorgeous and has BDSM desires and not sure this virginal orphan girl can handle his violent tastes. However she needs a husband and over time proves her worth and of her love for him. More sex than romance but a delicious and sexy short worth spending some time reading.

The Politician and the Girl From the Coffee Shop - Terry Towers 4 Stars

Billionaires in Disguise: Rae - Blair Babylon 5 Stars

Where can I meet Wulf? Wow just when I thought it couldn't get any hotter I think my reading chair just went up in flames! I think this is the first time I read by Blair Babylon. Hot steamy Dom meets his match. Young relatively innocent Rae takes control of him art a party and he about moves heaven and earth to keep her around. I need to find more of Wulf, before I combust. Lol

Anything He Requires - Michelle Fox 4 Stars

I was expecting a wolf but I guess a dog is good too. Hot sexy alpha billionaire adopts a shelter dog but doesn't have time to train his new dependent so he hires a beautiful animal trainer. Hot sex of course and bondage but short and sweet.

[Cindy Caron · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received this boxed set as an ARC in return for an honest review
The Billionaire’s Student – Savannah Reardon
OMG! What a way to start this boxed set! This is the first I have read from Savannah Reardon, but it won’t be the last if I have my way. Wow! This is definitely part 1 of something bigger, but what a part one. It has all the required components, including a great plot, a gorgeous alpha male, a curvy girl down on her luck and a spoiled size 0 who ends up being put in her place. Oh! And don’t forget all the hot sex served with an introduction to BDSM! What more can a reader ask for? Part 2 would be nice LOL! Great read. Definite recommend!

The Interview – Abby Weeks
This had a different take where we start off reading Anna’s POV, but it quickly changes to Dale’s, but it works for this story. The author has added many twists to grab and keep your attention throughout the entire book. It touches on some pretty hard core topics, but, once again, it works. I liked this book and would definitely read more from Abby Weeks.

Playing Games – Liliana Rhodes
Oh my! I loved this. A true love story if there ever was one. I won’t give the story away, but I can say that there’s just something special about certain secrets. Cassie and Gabriel make the perfect couple. The author has given herself the opportunity for many additional “spin offs” from this standalone book. The plot flows well, the characters are strong and of course, the requisite HAE. Loved it and am looking forward to more in this set.

Hunting for Curves – Julianne Reyer
Oh…this was good! Really good. I’m a sucker for ménage, and this one fits right in. Take one couple of gay guys, add in a curvy little female, give it a good stir, and what do you get? One hot, hot, hot story. Great read. Loved the plot, it was unique. The characters are wonderful and quirky. And as for Rodney? Pfttttt!!!!. A must read in my books.

Safeword – Candace Blevins
Hot and heavy! This one digs deep into the BDSM and leans more to the s/m side. Both Samantha and Ethan are high powered business oriented and high ranking in the martial arts. When they get together, all hell breaks loose. This is a pretty fast paced story with excellent characters and great details. The plot is different, but well thought out and played. I loved it! I could easily see an open door for future books with the secondary characters from this one. I have some thoughts on where I think Frisco should be, hehe. Looking forward to reading more from Candace.

The Greek Billionaire and I – Marian Tee
OMG! Make sure you have the box of tissues handy. Now I want to go shopping for my own Greek billionaire. I think I will have to settle for reading the rest of the books in Ms. Tee’s series though (my husband may not appreciate the shopping thing). This is well written. Marian has grabbed and kept my attention for the duration of the story. The characters are strong, showing hurt, betrayals, but above all, the strength of love that finally keeps them going forward. Great story and I am truthfully looking forward to reading more from this author.

The Billionaire’s runaway Curves – Danielle Duncan
A short and sweet romance. Good story line (but I wish the time frame between their relationship was shorter) and strong characters. An easy read.

His Weakness – E.K. Sabins
Oh my! This was an interesting story. The first I have read from this author, and I have enjoyed it immensely. It took a bit of time for me to place the era of this book, as it seemed to be Victorian at first, then there were certain aspects that leaned towards present time, but I think that eventually, I believe that we are looking at perhaps the 1920’s or so. The plot is excellent and quite easy to follow. The characters are easy to “get into”, and try to delve into their minds. The author has you guessing as to which way they will direct the story, keeping your attention right through to the end. Strong BDSM and quite explicit. I loved it! I would definitely read more from this author.

The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop – Terry Towers
A short and sweet love story. This is the second in this series I have read, and I can honestly say I have enjoyed them both. Terry has the gift of creating a tale from day to day occurances. Jeff and Jessie make a beautiful couple, and as they find and get to know each other, their love blooms to conquer all. Great read.

Billionaires in Disguise: Rae – Blair Babylon
Holy Sh*t! This is intense. This is the first 3 episodes of a 9 part series, and what a bang to start with. The two main characters are so intricately woven, full of intrigue and mystique that leaves you with a need to delve deeper into their psyche. Their story is well developed, with enough intensity to keep you hanging from the edge of your seat throughout its’ entirety. Blair has a wonderful gift of hooking the reader and stringing them along for the duration. You definitely have to read this hike into the BDSM scene that’s called the Devilhouse. Can’t wait to read the rest.

Fifty Shades of Erotica: Anything he Requires – Michelle Fox
The perfect way to end this boxed set. A short, quick romance with a bit of BDSM and lots of humour. Great story, cute characters and a puppy who finds the perfect home. What more can you ask for

[R.E. Hargrave · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a collection of 11 stories with erotic themes. (*The Goodreads summary included two stories which were not in the ARC I received: Corrupt Practices and Don’t Fall)

The Billionaire's Student by Savannah Rearden: Well-written, intense, a look at the awakening of one woman's inner submissive as she overcomes the travesty of her parent's untimely deaths. (4 stars)

The Interview by Abby Weeks: The writing style was a bit jilted in places, the POV slipping between characters during some of the more intimate moments. Nice change of pace seeing a woman who was strong and commanding in her every day life, admitting to needing the freedom submission offers behind closed doors. (4 stars)

Playing Games by Liliana Rhodes: A different setting. The romance builds between a billionaire gym owner (who specializes in MMA) and a newly hired physical therapist. She's uncertain and he has a secret, which leads to a lot of tap dancing around their want and need for each other. When the truth does come out, the result is a sweet, feel-good ending. (4 stars)

Hunting for Curves by Julianne Reyer: (warning, m/m sex scenes and a DP scene involving m/f/m) A sexy gay couple decide to add some fire to their lagging relationship by inviting a shy, redheaded female to join them for a night. What starts as an erotic one night stand, turns into something none of them were expecting. (4 stars)

Safeword: Matte by Candace Belvins: She's a divorce lawyer who enjoys martial arts to let off steam. She's looking for a Dom who is man enough to take her submission from her despite her multiple black belts. Samantha wants to be roughed up.
He's a self-employed businessman who develops moving companies. Like Samantha, he turns to martial arts and sparring to let off steam. When the two meet at a local BDSM party and realize they also have a kink for pain in common, the floggers and canes fly.
Well written, and a responsible portrayal of the BDSM lifestyle. I loved the emphasis on aftercare, no matter how rough the scenes became. Beautiful. Erotic, enticing, excellent ... I'll be reading more Candace Blevins in the future. (5 stars)

The Greek Billionaire and I by Marian Tee: POV changed too frequently for this to be a smooth read. Concept for plot was also a bit farfetched to be plausible. (3 stars)

The Billionaire’s Runaway Curves by Danielle Duncan: Old lovers bump into each other almost a decade after she ran -- because of a pregnancy and thinking they couldn’t be kinksters AND parents. In all that time, their feelings never lessened. Can they find forgiveness in each other and a chance to try again. (4 stars)

His Weakness by E.K. Sabins: This was a good concept, set up in the Prohibition era. However, the editing was lacking resulting in several slips of 1st to 3rd person POV and other minor typos. Paired with the abrupt ending, I can’t do more than (3 stars) on this one.

The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry Towers: This was a cute, light-hearted quick read. No BDSM elements, but still some intense heat at times. (4 stars)

Billionaires in Disguise: Rae by Blair Babylon: Titillating, well-written, and excellent pacing. (5 stars)

Anything He Requires by Michelle Fox: A different storyline, which I found refreshing. Well-written, sexy. (5 stars)

[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the final boxed set in the Fifty by Fifty series. Personally I found this to be a great introduction to some authors that I had never previously read. While I can’t say I loved all of them, I definitely found some that I would enjoy reading more of their works. And of course with a boxed set, if I don’t like the story I can’t certainly just jump to the next one in the set without feeling guilty over not finishing the story.

The Billionaire’s Student by Savannah Reardon
This entry features a young college student, Katie, who needs money for college. When a fellow student tells her to call this secret number about a job she ends up becoming a very personal assistant to a billionaire. While this theme has been done before, this short story was still enjoyable and I would be very much interested in seeing how things progress in the next installment. An added bonus is that this does not end on a cliff-hanger so if you don’t have to read the next installment but if you’re like me you will certainly want to read.

The Interview by Abby Weeks
This short story while hot seemed a bit too far-fetched for my taste. I know that in reading romance I’m not exactly getting a dose of realism, however, this one was just too much. I just had trouble with the heroine getting involved with her client who had just been accused of rape on the first day she met him.

Playing Games by Liliana Rhodes
Curvy Cassie Monroe moves to Canyon Cove with only one thing in mind--finding a job. But after a close encounter with her sexy billionaire boss, she’s finds more than she bargained for. Not only was the story hot and enjoyable, but I loved the interactions between Cassie and her mother.

Hunting for Curves by Julianne Reyer
This was a m/m/f romance that had more than a few twists.

Safeword: Matte by Candace Belvins
Matte, pronounced mah-tay, is Japanese for stop, and is used in some martial arts to end a fight. Sam enjoys various fighting disciplines and is a sexual submissive. What better safeword than matte? Just a warning this short story features elements of sadism and masochism and may not appeal to all tastes. Not normally what I read but it was a good read.

The Greek Billionaire and I by Marian Tee
Too proud to let Greek billionaire Mykolas know she's in love with him, schoolteacher Velvet ends up accepting his offer for a marriage of convenience. At least this way, he’d still be hers. I could have cried for Velvet during the inevitable bump in the relationship. A great new author for me to follow.

The Billionaire’s Runaway Curves by Danielle Duncan
Ellie ran from Theo when she found out she was pregnant with their child. Now he's found her and that old spark's stronger than ever. But what will Theo do when he finds out Ellie hid his daughter? This was a great second chance romance featuring an unknown pregnancy. I liked the unique twist that she only left Theo because she was afraid BDSM and motherhood could never mix.

The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry Towers
Jessie knows better than to date her customers, but for the charismatic Senator Morrow she's tempted. Could Washington's most eligible bachelor be interested in the shy girl from the coffee shop? This was a very quick enjoyable read.

Monster, Innocent or both?
Litigation and criminal Lawyer Anna Carter is requested by Billionaire CEO Dale Thomas to defend him on rape charges. In his office both CEO and Lawyer are basically interviewing each other as to whether she will take on his case. But there is an attraction to each other that sparks. There's a lot going on throughout this book. Very entertaining story that will get your panties wet when reading.

Choices without all the facts
In this well written story you have Ellie who ran from the man she loved when she found out she was pregnant. You have Billionaire Theo who just happens to have a retreat scheduled with his team of managers at the resort Ellie manages. And you have Riley their daughter that Theo knows nothing about. When Theo sees Ellie he’s determined to find out why she left and to get her back. High octane emotions and misunderstandings. Very entertaining self-contained story.

The Billionaire's Student: A BBW Billionaire BDSM Romance

The Interview by Abby Weeks

Playing Games

Hunting for Curves
This was a HOT quick read, the chemistry was great between all three.

Safeword Matte
Samantha "Sam" has decided not to date for a while, or at least that is what she is telling the guys she's friends with because she doesn't want to tell them that she needs to find a guy that has the same kinks that she's into. Which makes sense, how do you tell your vanilla friends that you're into receiving pain with your pleasure?

Sam meets Ethan after a martial arts fight and while there is an attraction she turns him down when he asks her out. It's not until they meet again that she realizes they have things in common. Ethan is well endowed and the way he take his time to work with her to make sure that she can accept him and not be torn apart is really great, you don't see that...normally you get "he's so big, and then he filled her", seriously if he was that big he wouldn't be filling her in one breath. I'm really glad that Candace Blevins stayed as accurate as possible to this, it makes the story more realistic for me.

This book ended on a happy note a little abruptly but this story does continue later on in the series and I do look forward to continuing it.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. The reviews below are in the order that I read the stories; I haven’t read all of them yet.

Blair Babylon – Billionaires in Disguise: Rae episodes 1-3
I LOVE Blair Babylon’s books! Don’t let the fact that this anthology includes only episodes 1-3 of BID: Rae stop you from buying or reading this boxed set. There is a special offer at the end of Rae’s story that will let you get the remaining episodes, 4-9 for free. This is a fabulous series. The story of Rae and Wulf is very compelling and I can almost guarantee that you will want to read more about them. They will be making appearances in other BID stories that Blair Babylon is writing/has written. The omnibus edition of BID: Rae is currently selling for $3.99. If you buy this collection of books you get Rae’s complete story (if you sign up for Blair’s mailing list) and many other fantastic stories for the current price of only $0.99.

Terry Towers - The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop
This is a very sexy story about a senator and the young woman he buys his coffee from every morning. It’s very hot and sexy; a quick read with no cliffhanger.

Danielle Duncan – The Billionaire’s Runaway Curves
Ellie ran away from Theo over eight years ago. She loved him but he was a Dom and when she found out she was pregnant she didn’t think that a Dom would be a good father. She never told Theo she was having his baby because she feared, with his financial resources, he would take her baby away from her. I enjoyed this story but the writing didn’t really flow well for me. It’s one of those things I find difficult to describe when I write a review. I enjoyed it but at the same time I felt that something was missing in the writing when compared to other stories in this anthology. No cliffhanger.

Michelle Fox - Anything He Requires
This short story was a great quick read. What I loved most was that was a complete story with no cliffhanger. Because it was short there wasn’t much time for character development but you learn enough about Jessica and Jacob for the HEA to be very satisfying. Based on this story alone the anthology is worth the current price of $0.99.

Billionaire’s student by Savannah Reardon

This was a story that I really wanted to see what type help this agency provided that was legal. Being a personal assistant to someone young and wealthy isn't a bad job at all especially when all living is paid for and spending money is provided. I felt so bad for Katie once her parents died and she didn't have much to live on or pay for her education. I really wanted Katie to slap the mess out of Tiffany for looking down on her and thinking she was the only one who could have Jace. Jace was very patient and careful with how he introduces Katie into the world or sexual behavior that made her welcome to “different” activities. His generosity towards his employees is remarkable for a rich man with such youth. I really liked this story and can’t wait for the next part.


The Interview by Abby Weeks

This story with a very no BS lawyer had my applauding her for her great work. Anna has a great reputation of winning her cases and makes sure Dale Thomas has a case that she will win. The chemistry between these two is hot and scary how well they both read body language before making judgment. The way Anna puts together what actually happens and how she catches the blackmailer in a lie was awesome. I would love to see what may happen next.


Playing games by Liliana Rhodes

This story was so good that I couldn't get enough of it. Cassie is one spit-fire young lay that knows what she wants and is willing to fight to get it. Meeting Gabriel in the showers by accident was cute. The 3pm peek-a-boo they started playing was so refreshing to see in a gym environment that was so serious. The flips in time took a little to get used to but gave such great insight into Gabriel and his drive to be so successful. His reaction to where Cassie lived bought up some not so great memories for him but also put forward changes for the future in his old neighborhood. I was so glad to see a man who wasn’t just a great friend but someone who took responsibility to help others when they couldn't. His double life meets each other and seems to hit it off very well, even better than he could hope for. I hope there is more to this story because it was awesome.

The Billionaire’s Student by Savannah Reardon
I found this story to be quick and well written. However, there were some elements of it that I felt I read in other stories. I would still like to read the next piece to the story though. 4 stars
The Interview by Abby Weeks
This story was pretty decent. The author told a complete story in a very limited amount pages. I liked hearing the story from the male character's perspective the best. There were a few things about this I didn't care for but overall a good story. 4 stars
Playing Games by Liliana Rhodes
Very good story. I've read this one previously and have a much more detailed review. 4 stars
Hunting for Curves by Julianne Reyer
This is a hawt story. I liked the difference in each character. I liked how Jasmine was able to help Luke and Evan repair their relationship. Great overall story. 4 stars
Safeword: Matte by Candace Belvins
This was probably my favorite story in this anthology. I loved Sam's character, how she's a very dominant female but needs to be submissive. She finally finds the right one for her. Some of the BDSM was a bit extreme for me, but overall very well written. 5 stars
The Billionaire’s Runaway Curves by Danielle Duncan
Overall this was a good story. The only thing that irritated me was that Ellie assumed she knew how Theo would be and took matters into her own hands, causing 8 years of misery. For some reason, this really irritates me when the female character does this. Good full story though. 4 stars
His Weakness by E.K. Sabins
I couldn't get into this story at all. 1 star
The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry Towers
This was a quick and hawt story about how daily innocent flirting can grow into quick explosive attraction. 5 stars
Billionaires in Disguise: Rae by Blair Babylon
This story was ok. It's one of those that I was able to finish but I'm not quite sure whether I like it or not. 3 stars
Anything He Requires by Michelle Fox
This was short, sweet and well written. The only complaint I have is how quick the timeline is, but considering it's only about 50 pages, it wasn't really an issue. 4 stars

You must get this collection of books. The authors are wonderful, and have added some steamy romances to this collection. You'll find favorite authors within, and probably some new ones you don't know; but I bet you'll be searching for more works by these talented folk!

Hunting for Curves by Julianne Reyer - is a hot book that held my interest. It's a mmf menage, a new situation for all three of the participants, with some emotional upheaval. HEA? You betcha'.

Anything He Requires by Michelle Fox - is a quirkly little story that I enjoyed very much. A rich man, a dog, and a soft-hearted trainer - oh, make the man an alpha dom who wants to teach the woman about BDSM - the steam rolls in this one.

Corrupt Practices by Penelope L’Amoreaux - has a wonderfully powerful dominant man, a sassy female intern, hot, aggressive sex, political intrigue, suspense - everything that will make you want to read MORE books by Penelope. I liked it!

The Billionaire's Runaway Curves by Danielle Duncan - being a mother and a sub is extremely conflicting for Ellie...mothers don't get tied to beds, or all the other delicious things Theo has done and is promising to do... But things are even more complicated, because Theo doesn't know he is a father. Read this sweet, sexy book to learn about their story.

His Weakness by E.K. Sabins - total submission is what James demands and Eleanor desires to give him. Rough sex, growing love, interesting family dynamics, all amidst the crazy days of the roaring twenties. This is a good book.

I was given a copy of this anthology in exchange for an honest review. Let me first say that it is an amazing group of stories that are varied and different and showcase each of the authors’ styles. It was a fun group of books and I will be honest enough to say that I enjoyed some more than others. But hey, for the listed price? It is a great deal. It’s not often you are able to read so many books for a great price and enjoy most of them. It is worth buying and reading this anthology.

My favorite story was Corrupt Practices by Penelope Lamoreaux. It is the start of a sexy group of stories (at least it seemed that way) loaded with intrigue and politics. I enjoyed Mariel’s personality in that she wasn’t a doormat. And Dallas was as alpha as you can get. The end sets up the next book but this story isn’t a cliffhanger – no worries! Once I started it, I couldn’t put it down. Sexy, hot, grab-you-by-the hair story. The author sent this to me directly as it wasn’t included in the ARC; boy am I glad she did! The Billionaire’s Student by Savannah Reardon was also smokin’. Had me sniffling and really tugged my heart strings. Great story. The Interview by Abby Weeks – yikes! Very hot and surprising. Hunting for Curves by Julianne Reyer – grab the Kleenex, at least for me. Good story, though, and Ms. Reyer kept it real.

All in all, great stories and definitely worth picking up and reading!

I was lucky enough to have the chance to read these wonderful stories but some pretty amazing authors. I also had the pleasure of reading some first time authors and that is always fun. The authors I knew well just cemented what I had already thought about them. Amazing!

The Greek Billionaire and I by Marion Tee made ya go wth.. and re read a paragraph or two. on top of wanting to strangle both of them. Loved it.

Candace Blevins is one of my go to Authors, Safeword Matte - Sam and Ethan Loved their personalities, sam's fighting sassiness and Ethan's passion and patience. pssstt get the series you will love it.

Billionaire's in Disguise Blair Babylon new to me talent I really liked the story all except for it has a cliff hanger.. but now you will just want to read the rest of them.

Where as I am not finished with this set I wanted to put a few words down and I will be back to fatten up the review, but yeah I can recommend this two you on just the authors alone, If you dont have this set grab it.. Enjoy it.. Ill be back!! with more .

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Sometimes it is difficult to review anthologies because the works included are so diverse. With this one it was so much easier because all of the stories are wonderful. Of course I liked some of them more than others, simply due to the characters and plots but each and every one of them entertained me and left me wanting to recommend this anthology to my fellow lovers of reading.

In particular, I loved The Interview by Abby Weeks; Hunting for Curves by Julianne Reyer; The Politician and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry Towers and Billionaires in Disguise: Rae by Blair Babylon. I will warn you that that last one leaves you on a bit of a cliffhanger but the ending is out to be read.

So if you are looking for a great anthology with many sexy reads, this one-click is a no brainer.

ARC provided for an honest review

I have to say I enjoyed all the stories that were in this set. I love the fact that a lot of the stories are about BBW and hot alpha males. Each story had it's on unique writing to have you drawn into each story. The chemistry and sex in all of them will leave your panties wet. Some hot steamy romance and most of all love in all the stories.

I won't give out any spoilers for any of the stories but I can tell you that you won't go wrong with reading this set especially if you have read other sets. All these books that are in this set are really good and each author knows how to draw you into their story.

Great job to all the authors that were involved in this set. I truly enjoy each story and look forward to reading more from these authors.

I've read all the Shades of Surrender box sets, and each one is as good as the last! This set has is packed of fantastic authors, but the stories by Marian Tee, Danielle Duncan, and Michelle Fox are my favorites. The best part of the Fifty by Fifty sets is that each one is different, with different authors, allowing you the chance to sample a variety of writing styles and learn about some authors that you may not have heard of before. Also, you don't have to read the previous stories to read this set. This set is definitely with the purchase!

Great Boxed Set!
This is a great boxed set with a lot of great authors. This is the fourth Shades of Surrender: Fifty by Fifty boxed set. All of the books in this set are BDSM romance, and they all have a great story. I am a fan of a few of the authors in this set, but after reading it I am looking forward to reading more by the other authors as well. If you are looking for some good BDSM stories then you need to get this boxed set.

OMG, this book was amazing. It caught my interest and held it up until the end. I enjoyed all of the stories, but one. Even that story wasn't bad, though it did take a chapter or so to catch my interest. I would probably still check out the book because I would like to know what happened. Reading this book, I have definitely found some new authors to follow and collect. I hope everyone will give this book a chance. You will not regret it. It is the stuff wet dreams are made of
