Shawn Moore #1
Warlock: Love, Sex, and Damnation
Shawn is a young man down on his luck, living in the streets. He isn’t lazy, it’s just for some reason people don’t like to be around him, and even fear him to a certain extent. They’d always had.
His life is about to change though, as a man named Ben tells him he had an uncle, an uncle that died and left him an estate. He isn’t sure he buys it, and has no idea he’ll soon be fighting for his very life.
Not to mention, fighting for his soul.

NOTE: This novel is told in the first person point of view of Shawn as the main protagonist, and the third person for various other characters.

I loved computers, and I read books voraciously.
I've been working in the computer industry for twenty years, and have continued to read a large number of books. On a whim, I started writing erotic short stories online, and to my surprise they were always highly rated, and more than that, I found I loved to write. Since then I have worked at improving my writing, and started publishing on Amazon.

This was a highly enjoyable read. This would probably be best described as a urban fantasy, magical harem adventure. When an author uses all those components together, it sometimes can be a mess. Sometimes the author will add the harem or sex component and it will feel forced, or out of place. Or maybe that part is good, but the magic component is lacking, or the story doesn't make any sense. This author did an excellent job of integrating all those components in this book: the sex, the magic, and the story. There was a lot of sex in this book, and it was well written. Even though there was so much sex written, I didn't feel like it overwhelmed the story or was out of place. The sex scenes were hot, however I also felt there was an emotional component involved in the sex which made it that much more interesting. The main character was a nice guy, yes he finds out that he is a Warlock which means his soul is owned by a demon succubus, but that doesn't really make him evil. He doesn't go out of his way to hurt people, in fact he treats the succubus and vampire he is with very well. There is a tendency for authors to write about the master/slave relationship with too much domination. The character is written as a nice guy but the women he is with want to be dominated, so what's a nice guy supposed to do but demean, dominate and humiliate the women he is with? Not because he wants to - oh no, only because they love it so much. This happens way to often and it sometimes makes me uncomfortable. Shawn wasn't like that though in this story. The sex was somewhat more realistic in that it wasn't the same every time. There were times he was aggressive and times he was gentle. He wasn't trying to "break them in half" like in other stories and I enjoyed it more because of that. The magic system was very interesting as well. The difference between mages, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, and the Fae. The story wasn't super involved but it wasn't lacking much either. At the end I rated this book so high because it was a lot of fun, and I really couldn't come up with anything to really complain about.

This was a fun and easy read. It hit all the fun spots and didn't take too long to get to the good parts. There's a LOT of sex in this book, but it kinda goes with what the book is built for (that and the fact the title has the word sex in it...duh!). Overall, It was nice. The MC isn't a duche which is nice, and he's also not headstrong. Just a fledgling warlock trying to get his legs on the ground. Actually, it's one of those stories about going from zero to hero...or in his case....anti-hero. Like I said, fun read.

Good book, poor grammar
I really wanted to like this book. I did like this book.
It's action packed, it's erotic, it has intrigue, a nobody builds to somebody; it was a highly enjoyable urban fantasy romp.
But the grammar ruined my immersion. There, their, and they're; were and we're; and CASTED. The casted freaking killed me. He casted a shield... No he did not! He cast it! Grrrr.
Some might complain that things were too easy for the MC and I can understand that. Not just things but people. He more or less walked through every encounter whether it was a magical assault, a meeting of species' heads, or convincing women into sexy time; there wasn't much that slowed him down. Made for a quick read but some people might complain.
Would have given four stars if not for the *numerous* grammatical mistakes.

What can I say, this is just one of those guilty pleasures. Its a guys book all the way and not going to be for all guys at that, but I just found it fundamentally enjoyable if a little ridiculous.

Competent Urban Fantasy harem novel 3.5 stars.
Shawn gets a rather rude awakening to the supernatural when he apparently inherits his uncles warlock-powers along with a sexy vampire servant and a contract with a Succubus. What follows is his scramble to escape his uncles enemies and his first attempts at magic... ohh and the harem stuff....
So yeah... this is not a complicated novel. Guy meets sexy woman, supernatural stuff, and lots of bedroom-stuff.... but it's also fairly well written. This was an easy read, unburdened by complicated plotlines ore endless lore descriptions. Just a lot of engaging storytelling of our 'good-guy' making it big.
Recommended 18+ readers.

An great story with a side of eroticizim
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, with its strong plot, and enough sex to keep things spicy. Although I noticed a number of grammatical errors, they were minor,and did not detract from my reading pleasure. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Another rambling urban fantasy...with gratuitous sex
This scribling fails as both an urban fantasy and a sexual one. Maybe some tweener boys might find it titillating, but any other readers wont. Remember... there's anreason it's a.Kindle Unlimiyed FREEbie...

Great Story
Action, sex, adventure, and politics. D R Rosier has it going on. Just the right amount of detail, a main character you want to succeed and a supporting cast that you never tire of reading about. The next book is a must.

Great story
I really like how the author made the warlock human. The MC is a young man who finally finds a place for himself. Great read.

Warlock: love, sex, and damnation is an enjoyable first novel in this series, but has one fatal flaw that left me on the borderline of rating this three stars instead of four. For all that is good about this book, this novel suffers from the same issue as a lot of books in this genre, in fact, a lot of self-published books in general; it has been rushed.
I think that authors are just so eager to get to what is fun about their stories that they forget to lay the groundwork that is needed to make that story great. However, you can't truly get to know characters, the world, magic systems, or any of that other good stuff unless the time has been taken to develop those things.
As a result, we are left with a book that was good but maybe could have been great if those things had been developed from the start. Instead, all of the strong elements in the book felt a little shallow. Relationships are developed ridiculously fast so they had no weight, and the main character's journey from a homeless person to force to be reckoned with wasn't satisfying as it happened so fast.
A good example of this would be the man's homeless status at the start of the novel. We could have done with a chapter or maybe two showing how hard his life has been, exploring this concept that even as someone already down on his luck, life was made even harder for him because of how other people view him and this strange feeling people get where he makes them nervous. Setting up how bad things were for him right at the beginning and really making the reader feel it would make us more excited for him as his life started to turn around.
However, overall I couldn't bring myself to give this one just three stars as I did enjoy it. I have hopes that the author will take his time a little more in the future and that the next novels in the series are a little more developed.

Just a solid good read
I wish it was a bit longer but otherwise I loved it. Setting and plot were a bit obvious and I wish there was a bit more background on Shawn. Even with that it’s easily worth the read and I’ll be picking up the next book shortly.

Wow
Not what I expected at all. Your weave of many divergent elements into an entertaining stream of awakened power, lust (the good kind), and purpose made for an excellent read.

Oh, the horror of poor grammar. And the sex gets way too repetitive.

Pretty good
Well felt kind of short but still good.... Looking forward to the next book
It's a good read for people who don't hate harem

Lots of fun
This was a light hearted read. The characters are likeable and will grow along the way. I'm looking forward to the next one.

3.5 overall. Story is well-executed but not outstanding; essentially it was interesting enough to read, but not something I couldn't put down for a bit.

young man discovers his ancestry being a warlock. Learns too fast, every woman falls for him and he is way too mighty in way too short time.

This series is definitely not for everyone. That said i found it pretty good. It is written for MEN and i do not think most women will enjoy it. It is for all intents and purposes a mans wild wet dream. The story line was decent, the sex sex sex sex though was a bit over the top in my opinion. BUT that is what this author seems to enjoy writing about. Sex at a drop of the hat no excuses needed lol. It really is a nice pipe dream.

Happy romp ... or two ... or three ... or
Kindle Unlimited - Thank you.
Definitely not G or PG. Graphic sex. Probably not YA, except that there's not much that would surprise most teens these days. Anyhow... The storyline is just fun and the main characters truly likeable, if not kinda lovable.
