Pandora Spocks

24 books143 followers
Pandora Spocks is a sassy ginger and hopeless romantic, living her happily ever after in South Florida.

Pandora has had stories pinballing around in her head for years. At one point, she spent hours daydreaming in Mrs. Howe's ninth grade algebra class. She didn't learn much algebra, but she had some really good ideas. Recently she decided to try her hand at sharing those stories with others.

She enjoys reading and writing literary erotic romance, and believes there should be more gingers in erotica. She is the author of the three-novel epic romance Rannigan’s Redemption, and a naughty little romantic novella, Just One Night. The Dream Dominant Collection, a series of light BDSM stand-alone novels, includes Luke & Bella, Lost & Bound, and For Sparrow.

Pandora is currently at work on her next spicy romance.

Like being at a party

Sometimes you meet old friends, make new ones and run into people you don’t really like. This box set was not much different to me. My rating isn’t an average score for all the book, please look at the individual books for my rating and opinion.

What’s good about this set is that it allows you to read (new) authors, it’s variety in kind of stories and you get good value for your money. What could have been better is that the books in the box are different in quality and depth and I think that’s a pity.

For my opinion on the individual stories:

Such a good combination of authors. Half of them I already follow and the others I’m happy to get to know.
Reviews of some of them.
Nia Farrell -
This was my first book by Nia. The Viking Raid.
The story switched between today and the timing of the 'play time'. In the beginning it was a bit hard to follow.
The new relation between Gunnar and Breanna was hot and It almost felt like I was there.
Can't wait to read the next book and next and next...
Ree L Diehl - The She-Wolf of the twentieth floor
This was a really hot book that got under my skin. I’m not sure why, but this one really got to me.
The description of the characters and their interaction was something else - so good that I almost felt I was there.
Looking forward to the next book by Ree L. Diehl.

Just a few reviews to start with.

They are all amazing.
His Devil Club is one my favorites, Start of epic series that starts with Rhone and Samantha,
They Takes us on wild ride .
Enjoyed Rhone's and Samantha story. Of hot sex scenes, and BDSM at it's best,
Will they fall in love or not ? Will Rhone be able to commit to Samantha.
Y'all need to read this epic story, the whole series is one of the best I've read.

A Taste of Submission introduces you to a dozen hot BDSM series by:
SPARKS - SPECIAL AGENT 1 by C.P. Mandara

HIDE & SEEK - THE KINK TRILOGY 1 by Felicity Brandon
A quick read that gives us a BDSM scene. A game of hide and seek with reprocussions is the scene set between this couple. If you're into spanking, this is one to follow.

THE SASSY SUBMISSIVE - STRONGHOLD DOMS 1 by Golden Angel
OMG, this book will captivate your imagination, keep your system revved and make you wonder why you hadn't thought of this. Golden Angel has given us a storyline that is relatable to those wanting to venture into BDSM and what they might find there. The characters she has given a home to are drool worthy, with personalities that will make you literally want them for your own circle of friends. This is a book of discovery with characters that are continually growing into themselves add the excitement of BDSM and you have the perfect romance. What a wonderful beginning to what looks to be a terrific series.

MASTER AT ARMS - RESCUE ME SAGA INTRODUCTION by Kallypso Masters

NOBODY'S ANGEL - RESCUE ME SAGA 1 by Kallypso Masters

UNORTHODOX DOM - THE UNORTHODOX TRILOGY .50 by Lilah E. Noir
This was such a down to earth storyline with an unrequited love, insecurities, flaws, friendship, love, and BDSM. The main and sub characters in the book are so down to earth relatable the entire book just flows while reading it. The scenes themselves are quite intriguing. This was a great book and what looks like the beginning of what could be a terrific series. I can't wait to see where these characters lead us.

UNORTHODOX THERAPY - THE UNORTHODOX TRILOGY 1 by Lilah E. Noir
This is not your billionaire and young innocent BDSM romance. This is an intense BDSM relationship with scenes so if you have any triggers, be aware they exist. Although, like most BDSM erotica, there are some things over the top, but for the most part this is a very realistic relatable storyline containing strong characters with ever growing personalities. It was great being able to have a story from both sides so we see their strengths, weaknesses, hopes and fears. This book ends with a huge cliffhanger so be prepared but it also makes the anticipation of Book 2, Unorthodox Chemistry, all that much better.

HIS DEVIL'S DESIRE - CLUB DEVIL'S COVE 1 by Linzi Basset

VIKING RAID - REPLAY 1 by Nia Farrell

TRIPLE PLAY - REPLAY 2 by Nia Farrell

HONOR BOUND - REPLAY 3 by Nia Farrell

HER WEBMASTER by Normandie Alleman

LUKE & BELLA - DREAM DOMINANT by Pandora Spocks

THE SHE-WOLF ON THE TWENTIETH FLOOR - UNBILLABLE HOURS 1
By Ree L. Diehl

HIS HUMAN SLAVE - ZANDIAN MASTERS 1 by Renee Rose
For the most part, the description of the book sums up the storyline quite well. Once again, Renee Rose has created a cohesive storyline with characters full of emotions and personality which hold your interest and leave you wanting more. Before starting the book beware, if you don't already know the author's work, there are some BDSM scenes so if spanking is not your kink, then look away. Otherwise, expect to be titillated with it.

IRREVOCABLE - SINS OF ASHEVILLE 1 by Skye Callahan

I've read several of the books in this anthology and am anticipating the enjoyment brought on by the remaining stories if what I've read so far is any indication of what to expect from the authors I'm about to meet.

Zander needs to ensure his race continues and a human slave is found for him. Against his better judgment, he slowly falls for Lamira. Lamira has a special gift that she's afraid she'll be killed if it is found out. Lamira is no subservient slave. Smh. She's got sass and way too much mouth for her own good and never seems able to curtail it at all to her own detriment. Lol. They both seem to enjoy her rebellions and punishments. I loved that Zander cared enough about Lamira to seek her mother out to come and live with her there. Lamira constantly thinks the worst of Zander, and she doesn't trust him when she should. He disciplines her for her own good imo. I liked that Lamira was strong ans smart, but sometimes she was too much!!! This review is for His Human Slave by Renee Rose.

This is an excellent collection of read. Included are twelve first in series books from some very popular authors. Filled with steam, drama, emotion, action, excitement and kink, these books delivers hours of reading pleasure and is a wonderful opportunity to explore new authors. One of my particular favorites was His Human Slave by Renee Rose. This sizzling and emotional alien/sci-fi romance is so hot and packed with emotions. Secrets and twists make sure you stay firmly focused on Lamira and Zander's unfolding story. This is my frank, freely posted review.

This collection is exactly what its title says,A Taste of Submission.
A taste of all kinds of submission,some sweet,some a bit darker,some alien.
A collection that shows you different meanings of submission,the various ways to submit.

I’ve reviewed a number of stories as i read the collection,but not all.
I decided to keep reading and leave a general review instead.

Some stories are shorter,some longer.
Some stories are better than others.
But most of them are good.
Overall,it’s a boxset that’s fun to read.

So it begins......

This is a really great collection of deliciously sexy stories!
One of my favorites is by Renee Rose: His Human Slave. The Zandians are on the brink of extinction, in order to survive they must mate with humans. Zander (Zandian) and Lamira (human) are chosen to mate but it will not be easy. Lies have been told, truths concealed, punishments will be given, erotic journeys taken, love will be found. Hot, sexy and a great treat to read!

My Human Slave by Renee Rose
I love the Zandians they are sexy and oh so hot and Zander is pretty rough going this is all new to him and he is very demanding towards his new slave Lamira who is a human with a lot of emotion that he does not understand but he soon will and oh boy he ramps it up. I really liked this one its how it all started and the learning process was my favorite, Lamira was a great character and learned right along with him.

An awesome collection of books that are first in a series. A couple of the authors were new to me which I always look forward to. I have a couple favorites from this but His Devil's Desire is my top pick. Rhone & Samantha's story is so full of emotion. Linzi Basset will keep you on your toes with this one. It is scorching while being absolutely entrancing and full of suspense. It is definitely a must read.

A taste of Submission is a collection of firsts, introducing the reader to some fantastic series of books. There are some authors that I have not read before but I highly enjoyed the stories. There are a few authors that are known to me and I am a big fan of, Linzi Basset's His devil's desire ( the club devil's cove series). Will draw you in with the twists, turns and suspense. Add the dominant men and sassy women makes for a fantastic read.
Nia Farrell's Replay series the first three books are included, here you are introduced to the Replay resort. An exclusive BDSM resort which transports you back in history the attention to detail and the steamy sex makes for a great read.
Ree L.Diehl the unbillable hours series, book 1 She-Wolf on the twentieth floor wow let's just say I wanted my own Andy and Randy.
Pandora spocks the dream dominant collection, Luke and Bella after coming together to travel the world for a new TV show the chemistry between them grows hotter and hotter.
This is a fantastic collection of books, historical, suspense and syfy, there is something for everyone an absolutely fantastic read.

This is an awesome collection of first in series books by some amazing authors. The stories will keep you wanting more. They are filled with drama, action and off the chart sex scenes. Many of my favorite authors are included in this collection. If a hot Dom and a sassy Sub intrigues you then you will enjoy His Devil’s Desire by Linzi Basset. Packed with action, intrigue and hot steamy sex scenes. Once you enter the Cove you won’t want to leave. Taste of Submission should be your next read! 5 Stars ✨

Wowsa. I'm about half way through this collection of books. My ranking Is based on the fact that I'm blown away by a couple of the authors that I've read so far - namely Kallypso Masters and Linzi Basset.

I did previously read Masters at Arms and Nobody's Child - they were my first introduction to this genre and I enjoyed the fact that there was a storyline present along with the kink.

His Devil's Desire is the first book I've read by Linzi Basset. I love the rugged, alpha men and the suspense of the storyline. Since I hadn't read her previous series, there was quite a cast of characters to get to know. Samantha and Rhone were a great pairing - she was able to hold her own against Rhone while at the same time being his submissive.

For me, even if you only find one or two new authors in this collection, it is well worth the price.

Review of His Human Slave by Renee Rose - This story will not be to everyone's taste. It is harsh throughout & brutal in places, combining non-consensual scenes & punishments. If you like your romance gentle & sweet, it's probably better that you not read this first entry into the series. I found the premise interesting & the characters original. I'm not a huge sci-fi fan so it's not my preferred genre & while I am a fan of this author, I have to admit to this book not being my favourite of hers. If you're a fan of this style of book, you'll probably enjoy it more than I did, so give it a go.

This book contains full stories from some brillant authors. A great way to see if you would like to read some more of their work. I love Golden Angel and had read her story. I had also read some of the others but I enjoyed the story from Liszi Basset, who I had not read before but I will be again. Very enjoyable.

There were multiple stories in this one book. I enjoyed reading every one of them. One or two were a little slow to keep my attention, but they were still very good stories. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants read have several books in one...this is it.
