Sinful Shares #1
Control
brings you Sinful Shares- an engrossing series of standalone romance novellas
My name is Amanda Blake and I write smut.
Good, old-fashioned, heart-thumping, panty melting, lady boner smut.
There’s a fancy box on my desk filled with letters from readers, eager to share their sinful escapades like the character in my first book!
Each of the naughty writings in my fancy box is a tale worth telling, so I started weaving stories around the titillating confessions.
Even though names have been changed to protect the innocent, these are the stories as presented to me along with some wicked embellishments.
CONTROL is the sexy, dirty love story of Adam and Emily. For this hot couple, a mutual attraction led to her awakening and the fulfillment of all his alpha dreams.

"I've never been in a wolf's den before. Will I be safe?"
"No. When I'm finished with you kitten, there won't be much left."
If you love a strong female character, a devilishly handsome and dominating male lead, lots of snark, and lots, and I mean LOTS of steam, all in a compact package, this is the one for you! This first installment of A Sinful Shares Romance series will leave you begging for the next one!
Emily Sinclair is a no-nonsense, don't-mess-with-me kind of gal. She's in charge in all aspects of both her work and personal life. She's never found a man who can match up and handle her. Until him. She loses all composure when he's near her and she can't explain it. He unnerves her in the most exciting way. When he brings out a part of her she never realized was itching to come out, can she ever live without him?
Adam Jeffries just met a fireball. One that needs taming. And he's just the man to do it.
I loved this story! It was sweet, and snarky, and seriously sexy!! Can't wait to see what's next!!

Pinch of this? Pinch of that? ABSOLUTELY!!!
I just love love love the significance of Suzanne's writing! If she wants to give you palpitations... Wherever they may be on your body, then be assured this will happen. ;-) . Her storytelling abilities are so much fun and every single one of her books leaves you wanting more.
The story of not only a writer who receives an actual letter from a fan gives her the muse to be creative and delicious about a strong independent woman and her fated alpha counterpart. Submission is the name of the game for Adam and Emily!!!

A Wonderfully written hot afternoon delight. Ms. Halliday has brought her A game as usual with this HOT little novella.
Who’s in control? The devilishly hot Adam Jeffries or the curiously out spoken Emily Sinclair. Read this little gem and find out you won’t be sorry.

I'm a bit frustrated with this book.
I love all the Suzanne Halliday books I've read so far, but for some reason, this book did not resonate with me.
I know a lot of people have rated this book 5 stars, so please don't let me review hinder you from reading this book.
3 stars

Control- Sinful Shares Series
Suzanne Halliday
With a title such as Control and an author like Suzanne you know this book is going to be a wits matching story of alphas dancing around each other in the age old mating dance. I was not disappointed! My only complaint, it was not long enough!
Amanda Bailey, known as Mandi B, writer of romance shares her best fan letters in the new short series, Sinful Shares! HUH! Who would have thought a writer would get such scintillating letters from fans sharing……well EVERYTHING!
Emily Sinclair meets Adam Jefferies coming from her elderly neighbor’s home startling her! She has her dander up when Adam’s answer is less then what she was looking for. And oh yeah, WHOAH! Full stop! He disarmed her with just a few words. Visualize 2 cats, one with fur up, dancing around the other, tail flipping wildly, hissing and spitting, the other sitting there, posed just so, just taking it all in amused, who then lifts his paw, licks it and laughs!
This sets the tone for the series and first book. Emily soon realizes Adam is no ordinary guy. He is just so different from all the other males around. All she has to do is see him and her motor starts! She can’t get him off her mind and her mind out of the gutter! Her fantasizing is going way off the charts! They meet again in front of her house, where she tells him, “you scare me.” And he replies “I know.” So begins a Smokin tale of Romance, Getting to Know You and Oh La La! For more you have to read the book! Sugar, I don’t read and tell!
I was given an ARC but the Review is freely given and all mine!

Breathtakingly Intoxicating!!!
Amanda Bailey also known as Mandi B. was an author of erotica novels. Her readers wrote her emails to share their own personal sinful escapades like the character in her first book.
And so was born The Sinful Share series. ;)
Emily Sinclair was hardworking but her job as a managing director at The Happy Bunny daycare center didn't challenge her nor brought excitement to her life. She met her neighbor's nephew after one of her exhausted days. And let's just say that the encounter was eyes opening for them both.
Adam Jeffries, a sexy as sin man who was intrigued by his encounter with Emily. He wanted to push the boundaries when it came to her and he did. When they both found themselves in a D-s relationship.
CONTROL is the first novella in Suzanne Halliday's newest series, SINFUL SHARES . It was panty-melting, set your kindle on fire, sinfully steamy. Magnificent job by Suzanne Halliday. 5 sizzling stars!

If you like your stories hot and steamy, Control is the perfect book for you. Suzanne Halliday's newest standalone novella is scorching hot. Emily is a business professional on the surface with a sex "kitten" underneath. Adam is the wealthy nephew of her next door neighbor and is just the man to deliver all the alpha hotness she never knew she wanted. When they come together, the pages just about burned out of my Kindle, they were so hot. This book is a quick and sexy read that brings everything you expect and love about a work from Suzanne Halliday. If you are new to her writing, you will not be disappointed. You will just want to read every word she has ever written and come out of it begging for more.

“This is a sexy, dirty love story of Adam and Emily.” In typical Suzanne Halliday style, this novella is a smoking hot, sweet love story, and has a happily ever after. It is a little different though in that it is a steamy D/S tale. I loved it. My favorite line is that “The alpha was strong with this one”. That really could apply to either character. Both were very strong leaders, but they gave control to each other. If you are up for a quick and extremely hot love story, this one is for you.

ARC for honest review with no compensation 4.5 stars and totally HOT! !

This story is about Emily Sinclair and Adam Jeffries and find out who is really in control...Adam the alpha, dominant male or Emily who isn't sure what her desires might be until Adam shows up and opens her mind and her heart. A novella that keeps you wanting to find the hot pads to hold book so you don't get burned! !

An erotic ‘Dear Abby’!
If you’ve ever considered writing to a “Dear Abby” type, scrap that and send an erotic letter to Mandi B., a Sinful Share, if you will.
Introducing Mandi B., the keeper of that treasure trove of sinfully lascivious letters, guaranteed to stroke your fire, as she shares the first of hopefully many titillating tidbits to come.
“Control comes in many forms and can be lots of different things to people.”
Meet Emily and Adam in this first Sinful Share as they learn who’s really in control. A dominant/submissive tasty morsel of decadence awaits you.

Adam Jeffries and Emily Sinclair, do not have the best first meeting. But hell they make up it! A man who knows what he wants and his eye is on his aunt's fiery neighbour. Emily is a ball buster used to controlling everything in her life. Adam sees this and knows he can help her with that. Maybe she just needs a firm hand and someone who is willing to take the load. Maybe release some of that control. The steam factor with these two is so bloody hot, the chemistry is unbelievable and the sex? Incredible!!!

My oh my, this hot little book was so good!!! As a huge fan of Suzanne Halliday, I knew I would not be disappointed. Adam and Emily brought the laughs, very well written sexy times, and the fact they realistically stayed to their true selves while exploring and accepting another side of their personas. The book was a perfect length for this story. I am looking forward to more "Sinful Shares"

3.5 stars.
Kudos to Ms. Halliday for a truly unique and engaging plot foundation. The narrator, Mandi B, writes stories based on letters she receives.
Short, sexy, truly interesting! I struggled a bit with the writing. It was kind of dry and everywhere. The overexaggerated sexy talk made my eyes roll a bit but the premise was good.

Control
Adam and Emily's story was interesting. Neither looking for their other half but finding just that. Both strong willed but each wants to please the other in a Dom and submission way. Was a good Read

I like the set up for this one, how it was a letter to an author, but the rest fell flat for me despite liking Emily. It was Adam that did me in, he came off as a bit skeevy for me, despite knowing how short this one was and it needed to be insta everything.

Wicked and tantalising
