About the author

Lacey Alexander's books have been called deliciously decadent, unbelievably erotic, exceptionally arousing, blazingly sexual, and downright sinful. In each book, Lacey strives to take her readers on the ultimate erotic adventure and hopes her books will encourage women to embrace their sexual fantasies.

Lacey resides in the Midwest with her husband, and when not penning romantic erotica, she enjoys history and traveling, often incorporating favorite travel destinations into her work.

Lacey's romantic erotica combines hardcore erotica and romance. The sex scenes are very graphic, detailed, and plentiful, including graphic language and extreme sexual situations, but entwined is a romantic, loving relationship that will reach a level of monogamous commitment by the end of the book. Perfect for the reader who enjoys extremely hot, graphic sex and fantasy-type situations, but who also finds satisfaction in traditional romance and wants to see characters fall in love.

Lacey Alexander also writes romance under the name of Toni Blake.

Lacey is my number one “go to girl” for smut. She has definitely earned the right to pass go, to collect $200 dollars and to take her place on the podium as ‘Queen of Smut’.
To give you an understand of what sort of books Lacey writes – they are A+++, XXX, scorching hot with a whopping big side of kinky. They are the sort of books I steer clear of recommending because the content is WAY TOO KINKY.

I have read a few books by Lacey now and I can now rely on her like a best friend. Not one of those friends that takes you to a pub, gets you a bit tipsy and laughs at you while you dance like a lunatic – NOPE – Lacey is the type of friend that will take you to a strip club, order you a lap dance, then get you so drunk that you end up on stage doing a strip of your very own. ...and that would be a warm up to the mass orgy you have a half an hour later.

Her writing is so f’king hot!!!

So you read a Lacey Alexander book for the sex – plain and simple. In my opinion it is porno for women and although there is romance it is only teeny, tiny and definitely not in-depth.

So – onto this book in particular. I enjoyed this book for the main part. With something so incredibly kinky there is a big chance you won’t enjoy all the sex scenes, which was the case with me and the “little filly” parts, but for the main part I LOVED IT. Extremely hot.

But please for the love of all things holy – do not pick up this book if you are new to erotic romance. I don’t want any erotica virgins getting all excited about reading some smut and then finding themselves rushing to the shower because they have the all consuming feeling of being dirty. THIS IS DIRTY PEOPLE. Lacey is a fantastic erotic author but IMO her work is something that you need to work yourself up to.

Story: GOOD
Intimacy Level: D.R.I.P (Don't Read In Public) + Sex-citingly GOOD & NAUGHTY
Enjoyment: GOOD
Style: Historical Erotica
Series: Brides of Caralon book#2

This story is the follow up to the Brides of Caralon series. Brides of Caralon - Master of Desire By Lacey Alexander Book 2 in the Brides of Caralon series. Teesia, the middle child of the ruler of Caralon, is a passionate soul who cannot resist luring the rugged Ralen of Charelton into an intimate encounter on their first meeting. But when she is later given into marriage to Ralen, he is outraged. Royal daughters are supposed to be pure, and his previous experience with Teesia gives Ralen doubts. This outrage sparks his sexual fury that had no mercy on Teesia. Ralen sexual appetite is dark and unusaul. With scenes of same sex interaction, multiple partners and public sex, the series is definitely not for the faint of heart with book 2. You have been warned...

This book is sex, sex, sex, sex and more sex. If you do not like books because its all about sex then this is not for you. This book was interesting way different from the first book, which I did love the first book, but this sister was soooooooooooooooo freaky *laughing* as for Ralen he was a super freak. Almost the whole book was sex, you name it they did it. Over all, I PERSONALLY love the book and can't wait to read the other sister. Now it isn't much of a plot/storyline involve because of what the story is about but in regards to the series it was a good read for me personally.
PS: D.R.I.P (don't read in public) lol

This was a good read in Lacey Alexander's strange but addicting sci-fi futuristic series, which still reads like a medieval to me. It's short and all about sex, but it serves its purpose. My only issue was I felt like the hero was a little cold during the middle section of the book as he and the heroine are newly married and he's trying to discover if she was really an innocent when they married, if she's just hot for him or everyone. I don't feel that we got to really see him falling for her, just lots of attraction and punishment sex. And I found it odd that despite his major issues of wondering if his young wife will be true to him, he has no problem bringing in other people to the bedroom during a couple of scenes. That seemed out of character.

There's kind of a cringeworthy moment at the end at the same time that the heroine has a really dumb moment, but the outcome was fine and ultimately, I still really liked this book.

If I wanted terrible BDSM, I would've read 50Shades. I am a disappoint.

Actual review: This book centers on Teesia, Maven's younger (middle) sister. She's given to Ralen, because he has horses. Turns out, he's not sure if she's "pure" (for good reason), and instead of sticking to tradition, he decides to turn her into his sex slave/"vixen" on his own terms. Apparently he has trust and daddy issues. Go figure. Anyway, it's neither fun, nor sexy, nor consenting. Oh, but they still live sexily ever after. I mean, it's not like anyone reads this stuff for the plot, but I still want it to be not-bad (and maybe with a lot less anal, I could live without the leather-strap-butt-plug-pony-tail).

Definitely takes place in some sort of post-world (whether apocalyptic or peak oil or environmental calamity, we have no idea), and it's definitely the Atlantic coast - we get an ocean and a reference to Florida in the south.

“Master of Desire” by Lacey Alexander

Tessia is excited to be married to the man her father has chosen for her. Ever since that night in the hallway of her parents castle, Tessia can not get Ralen out of her mind. Tessia is excited to be marrying Ralen and is looking forward to pleasing him in and out of the bedroom. Tessia has heard nothing but good things about her future husband and that he is a gentle lover, but also likes to experience new things in the bedroom.

Ralen of Caralon is looking forward to meeting his new future wife. As Ralen starts his walk down the isle to claim his bride he immediately recognizes the women who is to be his wife. Ralen knows that this is the women who fooled around with him in her parents castle hallway and he starts to wonder if she did this with him, who else did she fool around with? Ralen is going to punish his new bride for betraying him, and she is going to learn that only Ralen will be her lover now. She will be his submissive slave and will only scream “his name” and no others.

Tessia thinks she is marrying the man of her dreams. Someone who is passionate and gentle and will love her in and out of the bedroom. Tessia is going to realize that her husband Ralen has other plans for his new bride. Before Tessia can even realize, she is chained to the bed and shown what pleasure and punishment is all about. Tessia starts to wonder if this what intimacy is, and if all couples use whips, toys, and spankings in the bedroom.

Will Ralen finally show Tessia that his is the only man for her? Will she embrace her sexual life, and learn to love being Ralen’s submissive sexual slave?

Excitement and sizzling passion light up the pages of Lacey Alexandra’s book “Master of Desire”. I love the romance and eroticism in this book, and I also love how Tessia wins Ralen’s heart in the end. Great book!

2.5 stars

After reading "Rituals of Passion", I was excited to read about Teesia's book. Of the three daughters, she takes after her mother Jalal, and is the most sensual of them all. The's the equivalent of the black sheep, disregarding her royal status because of sexual curiosity.

After exchanging heated stares of Ralen of Charelton during Maven and Dane's feast, she decided to take matters into her own hands by making herself available and going to a secluded hallway. Ralen found her there, touched her to pleasure and left without ruining her. She misrepresented her self and let her hair down, which signifies she's not an innocent anymore.

After two years, her father announced she is to be given to Ralen and she felt like her prayers were answered. Ralen, on the other hand, felt betrayed and because of the wanton way she acted, he used her desire for him against her and punished her for it.

My liking for the story died down with the BDSM part because I hated the psychological torture Ralen did. Though Teesia strived to be the woman Ralen wants, she became his sex slave, she was punished and sexually tortured into submission. I hated it when he treated her like an animal. He judged her instantly and was skeptical about her purity. Though it's understandable that he's cautious after a certain betrayal, he was cruel to her.

The only things I admire about Teesia is how she embraced her sexuality, she's not ashamed of how lustful she is, and she didn't hold grudges. The BDSM here and the D/s relationship didn't work for me at all. Ralen did it in anger and to put fear in her, the other novels bdsm novels I read were all for pleasure and done with the consent of the submissive.

Though in the later part Ralen fell in love with her, he still wasn't willing to hand over the reins in sex.

There's group sex, anal play, anal sex, toys, bdsm, spanking, a little F/F (which made me give the .5) M/F/M.

BRIDES OF CARALON by Lacey Alexander

Seductress of Caralon
Masters of Desire

I thought both stories were just okay. Not my favorite series by Ms. Alexander.

The description of the book I am listing below is from the back jacket of the book. I'm adding it because I believe the one on the Goodreads page does not depict these stories.


SEDUCTRESS OF CARALON (This story is the prequel to the Brides of Caralon series)
When Jalal's father sends her to seduce a powerful warrior set on invading his domain, she's nervous but committed. Only when she sees Enrick the Attacker does she realize her work might not be all that unpleasant.

Enrick recognizes the young beauty for what she is—a seductress set on foiling his plans. His response? Tease her, arouse her, make her want him more than she's ever wanted anything before—and then withdraw his affections until she admits the truth.

A battle is about to ensue in Enrick's tent tonight…

MASTER OF DESIRE
Teesia, the middle child of the ruler of Caralon, is a passionate soul who cannot resist luring the rugged Ralen of Charelton into an intimate encounter on their first meeting. But when she is later given in marriage to Ralen, he is outraged.

Royal daughters are supposed to be pure, and his previous experience with Teesia gives Ralen doubts. He understands immediately that his new wife needs to be taught that she belongs to him—and him alone—in the bedchamber, and given that he harbors some…unusual sexual appetites, her lessons are sure to be an erotic adventure for them both.

A bit better than the 2nd book, esp the characters. I liked them a bit better b'c they were a bit more fleshed out so their behavior's made a bit more sense. The sex scenes were were pretty good. Nothing staggeringly out of the ordinary IMO but I guess most people would like them? Not sure. They didn't do all that much for me. However, this is smutty fluff & if you feel like killing a few of hours on some brain candy, this fits the bill.

[Felisha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great erotic read. A sensually charged story of learning to be patient and not to get ahead of yourself, it could change the course of your life. The main characters also learn about themselves in a compelling way and understand that sex and emotions can be dangerously wonderful....being filled with anger can ignite the most amazing passions.

[Suburbancowgirl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Didn't like this one quite as much as the first, but still gave it 4 stars for the sheer awesomeness of the smut. I thought the first book had a little plot to go with all the sex. In this book the sex WAS the plot. Could have probably used a little more story, but I'm not complaining! Lacey Alexander makes me HOT

[Angie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I lost count of how many times I wanted to hit Raelen for being so mean to Teesia, and how many times I wanted to hit Teesia for being so stupidly docile. That said, it was one very hot story.

Par for the course
