This review is for the below story only Sensation of the Seas by Ashlyn Chase Contemporary erotic romance. Vicki signs a contract to work on a cruise ship for 8 months. At 23, she’s ready to be independent, responsible for her own actions and maybe have a bit of an adventure. No more climbing out a window just to go to a party or on a date. A new fitness trainer joins the cruise ship and while Vicki has been warned to stay away from the Rom, he’s so hot and compelling that she can’t stay away. Turns out he’s her destiny. At least that’s what the Gypsy man says. Vicki and Miklos can’t keep their hands off each other. It’s immediate lust and need and once Miklos gets a commitment from Vicki, they continually seek out private places on and off the ship to give each other as many organisms as possible.
Is it truly destiny or is there a bit of magic involved? Steamy, sexy and satisfying. 4.5
4.5 stars - For this one, we go back to the earlier days of James and Michael's friendship, before Charlotte. I truly liked everything about this. While at the club, we get to see the good, OK, really good, and the questionable behavior and how it is rewarded.
I loved Mia's genuine apprehension the first time she was at the club and how James and Michael knew how to properly handle her curiosity that was still shrouded in some uncertainty on her next visit.
“Being intrigued isn’t the same as saying I want to do it myself.” -- Mia
It was absolutely beautiful when she gave herself over to the men and lived out her fantasy. I also loved that, even as inexperienced as she was, she wasn't a doormat for Jay to walk all over.
While Simone has given Michael and James a lot of screen time over the years, you do not need to read any of it to be able to enjoy this short read.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this novelette.
Deliciously steamy read! This is just for 'Mentors' by Simone Leigh. I fell in love with Mia standing up for herself with her date when he moves a bit too fast for her. Yet when the chance to spend an evening with Michael n James is offered, she falls right in to their charms and experiences a night of unbelievable experiences for her! Simone is one of my top 10 authors and will always look for her new stories!
Charmaine Louise Shelton keeps the Steele family saga going with this one. He's a Alpha and she's a fiercely independent woman of today building an empire of her own! This read will keep you blushing and unable to put it down. The life of billionaires will start fantasies you never knew you had! Don't sleep on this author, she knows how to bring it. You will definitely want to continue this saga.
What can I say Charmaine did her thang. I love this story the characters Malcolm and Starr Oh My God. Their chemistry is up in flames hot with the capital T. This book is definitely great you will love it.

This review is about Morgana Bevan’s Needing Emily.
Wow! This novella packs a punch!!! It starts off hot and goes from there. Emily wakes up with a wicked hangover and learns that she got married!!! Then, she panics. The story unfolds the the two fall in love. There story is quick but I didn’t feel like it lacked in any way. I fell for this couple as I would normally in a full length novel. This author has true talent in pushing out such a wholesome story in so few words!!! Can’t wait to read the next book in this Rock Star Series!!
I read Confess My Desires by Charmaine Louise Shelton which is a glimpse behind the curtain into Malcolm and Starr's beginnings and their foray into the initial D/s relationship which was so unlike any other relationship Malcolm had ventured into and far more than Starr had ever participated in...it was exactly what she wanted. As a woman who excelled and dominated in her career she wanted something different in a lover, but was she truly ready for Malcolm Steele the Dom, The Enforcer, the man who could literally make her body sing? All I can say is hold on because these two give and give until you're the one begging for more.
This review is specific to Morgana Bevan's Needing Emily. Emily doesn't like surprises, so waking up married to the rockstar she met a few days ago ? She doesn't take that very well. This is a very cute novella. Owen Parry is just this perfect man who decides to woo his new wife. It's a perfect story to feel good and leave a smile on your face.
Read for confess My Desires by Charmaine Louise Shelton. Malcom and Starr just connect since they bumped into each other. She wants to try to be a submissive but her independence may get In they way. I can't wait to see what happens next.
I'm only marking to this to highlight my read of Needing Emily by Morgana Bevan! I loved this short story. Emily was s side character in Chasing Alys and I'm a fan of the true platinum series and was more than happy to read the little novella. We get enough glimpse into both of the characters and still really get to watch their story develop which I enjoyed! Owen is also a great match for Emily and I liked their dynamic. Overall this was super cute and I'm excited for the rest of the books in the series.
NOTE: This review is specific to Morgana Bevan's "Needing Emily"
I have been following the "True Platinum series" so I was looking forward to Emily's story. Emily has had terrible relationships in the past and is a very guarded woman who after a crazy night wakes up married to the sweetest rockstar, Owen. And Owen is just amazing. Caring, passionate, attentive, everything Emily could possibly need but didn't want. He makes his way to her heart and theirs is a sweet story. I really enjoyed this. Can't wait to read the remaining stories!
Rockstar romance with only eyes for his new wife. Throw her into the chaos of a rockstar’s daily life and Emily wants to run for the beach. The quick read packs a punch and leaves you wanting more of both Emily and Owen. Great story among others!
This review is for Confess my Desires by Charmaine Louise Shelton. I have not read any of the other stories in this book. This one was nice and steamy! Between Malcom, whose a billionaire and Starr who is a Yoga retreat owner. It's a quick read, but it was certainly enjoyable. I would highly recommend. I received an ARC and I'm leaving this review voluntarily.
First review is for Immersed and Bound by Cassie Verano. I fell in love with this book during the car ride to the airport. I knew Malaya was gonna be a hoot of a character. But I was not prepared at all for what went on in this story! First off props to Cassie Verano for coming up with this wickedly sensual sexual awesomely fantastic storyline!!! Malaya good on an all expenses paid trip with her bestie Champion to this private island owned by Champions client. While there Malaya meets Kostas. Little does Malaya know what the whole weekend was all about. But immediately there is electricity and a deep sexual chemistry between Kostas and Malaya that is mind blowing. No spoilers. But even I blushed while reading their story. The week spent on that island was fiya!!🔥🔥🔥 But their story didn't end there. While no numbers were exchanged Kostas managed to reconnect with Malaya. Everything between them is fiya! But secrets are revealed and trust is lost. It takes some doing for Kostas to regain Malaya's trust. And yes, the steamy flirty sexacapades was off the Richter scale! Kostas and Malaya's story was not perfect at all. But their perseverance and their love made them perfect for each other. Such a fabulous story. I received an advanced copy of Immersed and Bound. And I'm voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This review is for Owned By My Biker Boss by Imani Jay I. Loved. This. Story!!! Imani Jay never disappoints me. Sofia has worked for Ren McCabe for 6 months. And she's been in all her feelings for him. She wants him and then she wants to kill him. He's always critiquing her work to the point she wants to do bodily harm to him. To blow off some steam she decides to go with her "friend" Reiny to a biker bar. Yeah, big mistake. Maybe. While there she sees her uptight pain in the a$$ boss. Yeah but her boss looks completely different. Ok no spoilers! This book gets so hot I had to get a glass of wine. 🍷 Imani Jay brings the heat, sex appeal, that nasty good good that makes you sit up straight and read the passages again 3 more times. Ren "Mac" McCabe and Sofia were so hot together. Their story I wish could've been longer. But the ending was soooo sexy steamy. I loved it. Kudos Ms. Jay!! I highly recommend this story and this book of various fabulous authors. You won't be disappointed.
Mia is dragged to a sex club by her boyfriend because she let it slip that she has a fantasy and he wants to fulfill it for her. But she's not ready and he was way too pushy. So when the Doms of the club see that he's trying to get her to do something against her will, they step in and escort him out. Mia is friends with someone who is there and she introduces Mia to James and Michael. And even though she goes home soon after, she decides to come back and fulfill her fantasy of being with two guys.
James and Michael were definitely the best guys to pick for this because they were so gentle with her. They were attentive and made sure she was ok with everything every step of the way. James is a Dom but knowing she is a novice, he only takes things so far. There's a little domination in this short story but it was more about Mia's fantasy and how the two guys did everything they could to make it come true for her while making sure she was enjoying herself. It was a fun, quick story.

To me, Sensation of the Seas by Ashlyn Chase is about fate, kismet, love so powerful it won’t be denied. Or is it some kind of voodoo... A fun story of two people – one of which has no idea she is heading towards her destiny – and the other forging ahead to meet her.
Vicki is an Aussie starting a new chapter of life. She takes a job on a cruise ship in Miami and meets a cast of characters – and that they are! – onboard ship. She sets out to make friends with the rest of the crew; there are some to like, and some to really dislike, just as there is in life. Miklos comes onboard during their sail and he immediately knows Vicki is his soulmate. I won’t retell their story but it is a bit fraught with mix-ups, jealousy, communication misunderstandings (mostly cultural), and fun. Overall, though, it is Vicki’s and Miklos’s story to tell.
Fun, sexy story, that has highs and lows. But at the heart of it all, there is love – a love that conquers all! I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. I will continue to read the rest of the stories and update my review.
Sinfully Wicked box set with one of my favorite authors Charmaine Louise Shelton gives us Malcolm and Starr’s sweet and smoldering story. Malcolm and Starr have both recently ended disappointing love affairs. Starr’s former partner was a selfish and uncaring paramour while wealthy Malcolm was being used for his fortune and connections.. Her book is Confess My Desires is the story of Malcolm Steele the second son in the Steele family. Malcolm the rebel thrives by pushing boundaries, getting his adrenal rush in and out of the bedroom. He’s the family bad boy, black sheep of the family and he finds LA yoga guru haunting his fantasies. He is immediately attracted and determined to get to know her. Will the independent Starr be able to be happy and fulfilled in a relationship which involves the exchange of over as one of its tenets? This story is great and left me wanting more details and more action.
Having read the rest of the Mastering the Virgin series and finding this little gem was an absolute delight in so many ways. It was interesting to see the mentoring aspect of author Simone Leigh's two leading male characters of James and Michael and their rather nurturing quality which really makes them even more desirable. Certainly a great insight into the whole concept of sex clubs and the manner in which they operate, therefore readers need to be aware scenes and language are quite explicit to the genre. Quite easily a standalone story and certainly one that would happily lead readers done a truly sensuous pathway with the rest of the series and possibly wanting more of the wonderfully created characters and scenarios.

This is a review for The One Who Got Away by Anika Lynn. I’m excited to read the rest of the anthology! What would you do if you were lucky enough to get a second chance with someone you were not able to have a relationship with but the chemistry was fire? Would it still be as combustible? Ari gets her chance to see what could happen with Austin when she is in his city for a work event. The meeting goes better than she even imagined! Anika Lynn is such an elegant yet very spicy writer. I always feel drawn in and part of the action with her luxurious descriptions of the book setting, sensations, and emotions. I only wished this was so much longer! I want to know what could happen next for Ari and Austin!
The boys, pre-Charlotte. 4* This is a short novel about the club scene Michael and James played before their story in the Virgin series begins. Their BDSM single life really hides two men who play by very strict rules of conduct with regard to the opposite sex. Here they are depicted more as educators/mentors, to introduce women to the club scene and allow them to live out their sexual fantasies and experiment in a safe environment. In this book, Mia gets to play with them and some characters who will appear in the later Virgin series were introduced. The book is easy to read and fits in well with the author's erotic genre. I have no hesitation in recommending this book.

Reviewing Mentors by Simone Leigh where James and Michael met up most weekends at a lifestyle club where both were well known...and in this story which takes place before Charlotte comes into their lives, they meet new-to-the-club scene Mia. Her boyfriend brought her to club, she wanted to look, he wanted to participate without consent...so when she came back after breaking up with wanna-be Dom, her friend, another regular Chloe, who was her friend recommended she learn the lifestyle with mentors such as James and Michael...
I love Simone Leigh’s stories about the Triad and their extended family! Before it all began there was James and Michael, a dynamic duo. OMG, just reading this story makes me wish I was Mia!!! I loved this stoty, James and Michael work so well together. They work so well as a team I’m surprised James went looking for a Virgin sub on his own. Wow!!! Charlotte is the lucky girl that changed everything.

Note: this review is specifically for Simone Leigh's 'Mentors' contribution to this Anthology. I absolutely loved this short story. This one took me back to the very beginning before James and Michael had met Charlotte. It was also eye-opening to see Chloe and then Borje! One scene that fulfills the fantasy of a friend of Chloe's, Mia, who's never been to a BDSM club before. There's so much emotion and feeling within this short story and every one of them is brought to life. It's everything I've come to expect from Ms. Leigh … thoughtful, touching, domineering, tender, and a complete turn-on.
IMMERSED AND BOUND BY CASSIE VERANO. I have read lots of books by this author which I enjoyed and have re read but this IMMERSED AND BOUND, tops the list. I so much enjoyed it that I couldn't put it down till I finished. Two strangers meet and decide to try out their fantasy. They both enjoyed it and couldn't let go of each other. Few bumps along the way but love supercedes and they got their HEA. I recommend this book. I received an ARC for my honest voluntary review
I just adore James and Michael. They are such a great pair to make any woman wild. It was entertaining to read about their life before Charlotte (a prequel of sorts). I found this book sizzling hot and entertaining.
I received a free advanced reader copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my fair and honest review.
I had the pleasure to read Mentors by Simone Leigh. I love this glimpse of before Charlotte with James and Michael. The two men are already a well-oiled machine working together. I enjoyed how they were so in sync with each other and made their partner feel comfortable and safe.

Mentors, a short story by Simone Leigh, is a delightful reminder that James and Michael had a life before Charlotte, even though it looked pretty similar! A pair from the time they met, they took great pride in being shining examples of how to treat a submissive, and were in demand even back then. Enjoy this romp down memory lane!

Charmaine Louise Shelton writes amazing books, especially the Steele family. Her book Confess My Desires is the story of Malcom Steele the second son in the Steele family. Malcolm the rebel thrives by pushing boundaries, getting his adrenal rush in and out of the bedroom. He’s the family bad boy, black sheep of the family and he finds LA yoga guru haunting his fantasies. I love these two, the dynamic between them is irresistible, and the chemistry is hot as they give into their desires. They spend five days together in the Caribbean with Malcom teaching her how to be adventurous as he challenges her in every way. I love these two, what’s not to love a man who takes control in the boardroom and the bedroom! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Mentors by Simone Leigh - This look into Michael and James' past is fantastic and gives you a wonderful perspective into each personality. I cannot wait to see more in this series be it from the future or the past.
