Styx' Stand

We meet Savannah and Styx. In the beginning, Savannah has been left at the alter by her fiancé. All dressed up and no where to go, she decides to join the army. She changes out of her clothes, goes to the barber shop to get all of her hair cut off, and enlists on the spot. The book includes her journey to becoming an army nurse, her meeting and developing a relationship with Styx, her kidnapping, and her recovery. All ends in a happily ever after that you aren't quite sure will happen as you read.

Drawn to You

Olivia Barrett has a plan for her life. She just finished her last final to complete her Masters degree. She is ecstatic. Life is finally coming together. Until she walks in on her boyfriend and her roommate having sex. She walks away and goes back home. Not really sure what she will do with herself. She needs time to come to terms with things. She decides to go to the family beach house. She needs the solitude. While there she notices the hot guy in the house next door, but works hard to avoid him. That is not the purpose of this trip. But with some pushing from her best friend, who came down to support her, she decides to step outside of her shell. Chase Remington is the hot, rich guy from next door. He is drawn to her and doesn't know why. But he wants to spend as much time as he can with her.

One Kiss

Jayne is a librarian. She is a homebody who enjoys spending long quiet nights at home. However, whenever her two best friends want to go out, she goes out. They go to the club Hedonism during their first black light night and have a great night. At first they are dancing and drinking together, but when the black lights come on, her friends encourage her to just dance with a guy. She ends up dancing and kissing a guy. Unexpectedly having to leave, she is never expecting to see this guy again. However, as luck would have it, he shows up one day as a PhD student in her library.

Detecting Lust

Seth Lane is a SVU detective, and he is damn good at his job. His case success rate is the highest in the precinct. His captain is pretty hands off and has been for a while, because Seth's process is a good one, and the perp is always caught. His current case is a rape case, and he is having a difficult time with locating the guilty party. With some unique assistance from his wife, Zee, he is able to work out different portions of the case, that direct him along the right path. He also gains assistance from his assist Ashley, who is crushing seriously hard on him.

Unacceptable

Crickett was a young girl when her mother made her father leave for good. Since then, her mother has been constantly drugged out and whoring to get her next fix. Now is the time for Crickett to go out on her own and leave home. She basically runs away from home to look for her father in his last known place of residence. Upon arriving at the location, she realizes that she has no idea if her father is alive, what he looks like, or if he even wants to be found. She has to find a job and a place to stay. She enters a bar where she sees a help wanted sign. From there her life changes in ways she never imagined.

Damien

Damien is a Dom who is extremely interested in Gwen the bartender at Dark Plantation. He is sure that she is a sub, and that she is interested in him, however, she will not give him the time of day. Gwen has a secret pain that has caused her to swear off of dating anyone in the BDSM community. She is sure that she needs a vanilla relationship, however, nothing has come of that. Will she finally give into Damien? Or will she continue to run away from what they both want?- I received an arc for an honest review.

Styx's Stand by F. G. Adams

Devastated after being left at the altar, Vanna does the unthinkable. She shaves her head and joins the army as a nurse.

Vanna and Styx start up a hot and steamy forbidden romance according to army policies.

Vanna is a strong female character that has been dealt an unfair hand in life. During hers and Ella's kidnapping, her strength and courage helped them through the ordeal.

I loved Styx's character and how he wasn't intimidated by a strong woman. A military alpha always by his woman's side, protecting her and patiently helping her heal.

A beautiful love story that plays on your emotions especially when tragedy hits home.

Drawn to You by Jillian Anselmi

Olivia is shocked when she comes home and catches her boyfriend in bed with her roommate. Devastated, she heads to her peaceful escape, the beach.

When Olivia and Chase collide at the market there is instant attraction. Throughout the week they are inseparable. Chase realizes Olivia isn't ready for a relationship but he is a patient man.

A well written love story. You can feel the emotions of these characters.

You can download the rest of the story.

One Kiss by Clara Fox

Jayne is a home body and librarian. When  her two girlfriends persuade her to go out for drinking and dancing, little did she know she would be captivated by a mysterious stranger. The dance floir scene between Jayne and Ian was hot!!

Oh what a tease! Need the rest of the book!

Detecting Lust by Mikey Lee

Detective Seth is investigating a crime of passion case. With the help of his sexy wife, Zee, and the sizzling basement scene, he is able to solve the case.

Unacceptable by Kristen Hope Mazzola

Wow!! I can't wait to read about more of these bad boys!! Fabulous story about Abel and Cricket!

Wow! Hot!

"What an amazing group of stories. Lust can present itself in different ways with different people. It can be passion, a slow burn, a crime of passion and instant attraction. This anthology from so many great authors does not disappoint.

Styx’s Stand: This story was intense. From the beginning Styx and Vanna have hot moments and insta-attraction. I was not expecting the conflict in the middle of the story but love that the author wrote such a strong woman character in Vanna and that Pete was not intimidated by Vanna.

Drawn to You: Passion and lust can take many forms - cheating, rebound and even love. Liv and Chase are “hot” together as a couple but they are withholding something that can affect the outcome of their relationship. I can’t wait to read more of their story in the sequel.

One Kiss: Everything happens for a reason and with just one kiss can start a relationship. The way that Jayne and Ian meet up is very cool and their second chance meeting was destiny. Their attraction is instantaneous and fun to read.

Detecting Lust: Seth is on a quest to solve the case of a crime of passion. His wife Zee helps him solve the case as the engage in their own lust for each other. Seth and Zee are hot! That basement scene….

Unacceptable: If you are a KMazz fan you will love this story. As crazy as this sounds, I have read other Unacceptables MC stories so it was fun to finally go back to the beginning to read Cricket and Abel's story. This is a story of fate putting you in the right place at the right time to meet your destiny. This was a fast, easy read that totally held my attention and had so many feels.

Damien: Damien’s obsession is to make Gwen his sub but she isn’t having any of that even though their awareness for each other is “off the charts.” This was a light fun and flirty story with a HEA."

"Lustology delivers a great collection of lust-filled stories, indeed"

I received an Advance Reader Copy for LUSTOLOGY: An Anthology of Lustful Proportions with contributions by six different authors and voluntarily reviewed this book. All six contributions are lust-filled stories, indeed, and there are a few authors I have never read before, which was great to discover!

My favorite characters were Styx and Savannah from Styx’s Stand, a story by F.G. Adams. I loved Savannah, for her stellar loyalty and support to her friend Ella through thick and thin, as well as her being an absolute firecracker of a woman, who knows herself and what she wants and what she wants is Styx. She is fierce. Nevermind that she is an office, and he is enlisted. Their chemistry was just too much to be denied. SO much happens in the span of the story, and I will just leave it at that. You will have to read this one yourself. It has everything in it you expect from a military romance and more. Perfect HEA. Would love to read Grayson & Ella’s story as well!

The other story I really enjoyed from this series was Damien by Julia Sykes. Damien knows what he wants, and he wants to be with Gwen, who bartends at the Dark Grove BDSM club. But something is holding Gwen back from starting anything with him…and he is getting near-stalker-ish of her just to even know why. Gwen is skittish for a very good reason, and trusting in this hot Dom with his hot gaze, who wants her as a notch on his post is not enough, even if they are so very clearly drawn to one another. Damien gets a chance, however, with help from unexpected sources, and he is not going to waste it to make her his from that evening on. Steamy-hot story, with insta-love that is good enough to be real!

The Lustology is full of great authors in this anthology. Some were new to me authors and others were fan favorites authors. My favorites were Damien by Julia Sykes and Unacceptable by Kristen Hope Mazzola.

Damien by Julia Sykes---This is a hot, steamy, and short story set in the Dark Grove Plantation which is featured in some of her previous books . Gwen is the bartender there at the BDSM club, and Damien is the Dom in pursuit of her. Gwen doesn’t want to get involved with this dark and delicious Dom yet their chemistry is hard to ignore. Damien refuses to give up and let her get away from the pull that is so deep between them. He is bound to get her to admit why she wont give him a chance and oh yes, what fun this story takes. My rating : 4.6 starts
Unacceptable by Kristen Hope Mazzola ----Cricket and Able are two complex and unique people and they are made for one another. Yet they don’t make it easy in the beginning. Their story has its ups and downs. Fate has a way of working when you least expect it to and with whom you least expect it with. Fate is fickle and she is funny but Fate knows her business. Cricket and Able meet each other when they were least expecting to meet their soulmate. This is a quick and satisfying read with heart and sizzle. My rating : 4.6 stars

The other stories are winners too- Styx’s Stand, Drawn to You, One Kiss, and Detecting Lust are stories that have passion, angst, heart, heat , intrigue and drama. I loved this anthology because you get to meet authors new to you and authors you are familiar with. I enjoyed The Lustology and would love to see a sequel to this boxset.

My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

I read Damien by Julia Sykes - Whew smokin' angsty build up galore!

Damien is a Dom and fairly to new to the Dark Grove. He's has had his eye on a club bartender named Gwen. He senses a submissive nature about her - however she's skiddish and not at all interested in Damien's attention. She's been hurt is the past and decides D/S relationships aren't for her. She only bartends at the Grove because she needed the job. Watching and knowing other subs are vying for Damien's attention eats at her but not enough to open up and make herself vulnerable. Finally, Damien has had enough of watching her from the sidelines. Wants to pursue Gwen. He just has to earn the luxury of her time and attention in return.

Will Gwen let her guard down and give Damien a shot? Will they crash and burn - or combust?

Read this short gem and find out!

Julia Sykes always, always delivers an impeccably written, hot tale with a hearty dose of the D/S dynamic. She writes these roles and characters so flawlessly. Truly extraordinary!

Definitely need more to this story!!!

Wow what a Lusty read!
So
Many great authors rolled into this anthology.
My review is based on FG Adams story Styx’s stand:

Hot, Sexy, Flirty, Twists and Turns all wrapped into one amazing book!
If this book got any hotter I would’ve combusted! Talk about capturing you from the first page, I devoured this book and didn’t want it to end.

Styx and Savannah has serious chemistry and had my complete attention from the start. Styx is your total Alpha who never planned to ever settle down, happy to have a new girl whenever he pleases.... that was until he had to pick up Grayson from hospital and he sees Savannah. Then the game changes and everything heats up to SCORCHING.

Savannah is one tough, smart, Sassy, independent woman who has made it through a life time of battles to come out the other end with so much fight for life its inspiring. I loved her from the start.
Styx and Savannah fight their feelings for each other denying what they are feeling until there is simply no denying how they feel.
The twist in this book floored me, I never even saw it coming (and I love that) I love when a book takes a turn and you have no warning. I won’t ruin it with spoilers but OMG my jaw hit the floor.
I loved this book and it will definitely be on my high rotation list of favourites!

Steamy, sexy & fun anthology! A must read!!

Loving this anthology!! A great group of writers contribute some of their sexiest works to create a fantastic compilation. I was drawn in by the works of some of my favorite authors, FG Adams, Kristen Hope Mazzola and Mikey Lee, but in the end I got so much more than I bargained for. I really enjoyed my introduction to Julia Sykes, Jillian Anselmi and Clara Fox. To me, one of the best reasons to get an anthology is to be exposed to new writers in a way that lets you get something you know you’d love with a favorite writer and something you might not have taken a chance on otherwise.
For me this Lustology amped up the heat and the drama providing some steamy one handed reading moments!! Definitely pick this one up before it’s gone!!

Damien by Julia Sykes

This is a fun short story back at Dark Grove between the bartender Gwen and a client named Damien. They are both attracted to each but Gwen shy's away from him. He is convinced she's the submissive for him but he has to get her to talk to him first. Can Gwen make peace with her past and become the sub she's meant to be with Damien?

This book was short and sweet. Gwen fights Damien throughout the whole story, ignoring her attraction to him and avoiding him at all cost. Damien tries everything he can to get her to talk to him almost getting banned from Dark Grove. It's not until we get to the last chapter that we find out why Gwen was so reluctant to start a relationship with him. The ending is great and I would have loved to read more about them. Great story.

The Lustology Anthology was one HOT Anthology! While I liked all of the stories, there were a couple that I loved. Drawn to You by Jillian Anselmi was beautifully written but ended too soon for me, it definitely left me craving more. Detecting Lust by Mikey Lee, I surprised that this was my first time reading one of his books and it won't be my last. It was quite enjoyable, I liked it because the storyline kept me guessing. And then there's Unacceptable by Kristen Hope Mazzola which I have read before, but I enjoyed it more the second time around than I did the first. You can't go wrong with hot bikers..

All six stories were wonderfully written, I highly recommend you pick up a copy and give this book a chance.

*I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book*

What an amazing group of stories from each of these authors. Two of the authors I am very familiar with the rest of the authors were new to me. I will definitely be reading more from each of them. I really enjoyed each of the stories.
Here is my review of
Drawn To You by Jillian Anselmi.
Drawn To You is a wonderful fun read.
Olivia is a sweetheart. She finds her boyfriend in a very compromising position with her roommate. She leaves and takes refuge at her family's cottage. While there she falls for Chase the “boy next door.”
I don't want to give too much away but let's just say love and mayhem ensue.

I highly recommend this anthology to everyone who loves hot men, stronger women and sexy suspense . Great job authors. Thank you.

This review is for Kristen Hope Mazzola's Unacceptable.

He knows right away what or who he wants and just goes on like she already belongs to him. Crickett is on a mission to change her life. She is ready to start a new venture in her life without her mother. She happens to stumble into Abel’s path and she has no intention of falling off of her new path.

Unacceptable is book one of the Unacceptables MC series. It’s quick and easy to read. There’s a bit of drama and sadness but overall, it’s sexy as, well you know. Grab this book now or better yet, grab the new box set and take a ride with these sexy men.

5 INCREDIBLE STARS FOR STYX STAND!!! I absolutely loved this story. The writing is incredible and the characters are amazing. Poor Savannah is left at the altar and she's devastated. Once she pulls herself together, she cuts her hair and joins the military. When she meets Styx, sparks fly. These two have such great chemistry together. But when Savannah & her friend Ella are kidnapped, will Styx be able to rescue them? Or is it too late? Will Styx be able to help Savannah overcome her nightmare? Or will she be lost to him forever? You'll need to read this one to find out. You'll be glad you did.

This is a review of Damien by Julia Sykes. I have read many books by this author and love her stories. This one is no exception. Damien is short and sexy and follows another one of the characters from the Dark Grove Plantation series although it needs to be longer to develop the characters a little more. Gwen lost her dom and was left heartbroken when she met Damien. Can Gwen give her trust to Damien to find her happiness? I look forward to reading the other stories in this anthology.
I volunteered to read an arc of this book.

Styx's Stand takes place at the same time Grayson and Ella story told. Savannah and Styx's story is
hot. You have steamy sex sence, betrayal, kidnapping, rescue operation with some hot alpha males, and HEA. And my heart goes out to Savannah for wait she went through. She's a strang woman. Styx was sexy as hell.... and I love him for staying with her and giving her the support that she needed. Now that is true love.

I'll add more as I read more

This is my Review for Damien by Julia Sykes
This was a very short sexy story and this Author delivers every time with her sexy men and Damien is perfection and has his sights on Gwen and has to have her as we revisit the Dark Grove. Damien needs a submissive and is drawn to her but Gwens heart is guarded and its Damien's job to break through that wall and it is one delicious ride as he's not giving up. This couple has extremely hot chemistry and I loved it all.

First up, This was a good anthology of lusty reads and the authors' talents were well represented.

Julia Sykes is an author that is new to me but is one I will look up to read again later. Damien was a hot read exploring the Dom/sub relationship but is done very basically and deals with Gwen's attempt at giving up on the BDSM lifestyle and her conflicting emotions regarding Damien. Damien is patient, and the reader can only hope his patience will be rewarded.

Very short and easy reads.

A good compilation of stories!

Styx’s Stand: One word comes to mind - Intense. Styx and Savannah definitely bring the heat. I really enjoyed their story!

Unacceptable: Unacceptable was a good read. Cricket is a woman looking for her future in the face of an ugly past. She meets Abel, the VP of an MC. Could he be the key to her future. This story is a quick read and I definitely enjoyed every minute of it.

This is a review of Damien by Julia Sykes.

This is a short story part of Julia’s Plantation Grow collection.
It sweet, short and sexy read. Quick and fun, but it left me wanting more. Damien and Gwen are hot!!!
I really hope that Julia writes more of this couple or even one big book with all Plantation Grow couples.
It was kinky, possessive but sweet at the same time. I enjoyed this short story a lot.

I read Damien by Julia Sykes.
Damien was a short, hot and sexy story set in the Dark Grove Plantation from some of her previous books. Gwen is the bartender there at the BDSM club, and Damien is the Dom pursuing her. She refuses to get involved with him, and he wants to know why...and sets out to change her mind. It was a short read, that leaves you wanting to read more.

My review of Unacceptable by Kristen Hope Mazzola

A quick MC read that sets up the Unacceptable Motorcycle Club nicely.

Crickett and Able are both complex characters with pasts that they need to heal from. The story flows quickly and has a defined beginning, middle and end. Very enjoyable.

Kristen Hope Mazzola - This was not your typical MC book. If you want something hot, funny and unexpected this is for you. It's got a lot of emotions and a roller coaster of a ride. You will love the rest of the series.
