Training? Not hardly!

April's Training by Jael Long

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


Too far fetched to be even remotely believable. Not even as a fantasy. This book did nothing for me except make me want to finish it.

The most believable character was Brandon, and he was only ever on the phone. A "Brutal Bastard" he was not.

Thankfully this was a very quick read.

Book 3 in the Master's Series!

Over The Line by Sierra Cartwright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Book 3 of the Master Series and Sierra Cartwright is my new favorite author.

This book doesn't waste anytime jumping into scene play! WOW! And some very hot scenes throughout the entire book.

I would have liked to have seen just a bit more character building in the beginning; a chance to get to know Master Michael and Syndey a bit better first, but Ms. Cartwright makes up for that in, and throughout, the book.

This entire series has captivated me, I love it, and I'm looking forward to the next book in August!

I highly recommend this entire series if this is a genre you're interested in.

Sam and Linda's Story! At Last!

This Is Who I Am by Cherise Sinclair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I know I say this with every book I read in this series but this one, Sam and Linda's story... oh it was my favorite!

It was sweet and loving and kind and tormented all wrapped up in a nice neat little story. I believe it wrapped up the slaving aspect quite well, but left a tiny opening that would be possible to follow up on in the next book. Which i understand (hoping) will be Sally's story?

I loved that all the other Dominants and submissives were active participants in this book. It's always good to "see" them.

I had this book up as book of the month on my Goodreads board, and so far, everyone that has read it, has really enjoyed it.

There is one thing though, something that has stood out to me since the first book in this series, one thing that drives me to distraction at times. The use of the term "His eyes 'crinkled at the corners'" or his mouth, or the condom wrapper. Something, usually the Dominants eyes when looking at his sub, is always crinkling. Using it a couple times in a series is one thing, but it's become a common description that is overused in all the books, IMNSHO.

Can i live with it? Sure, since i love the series, but i'd love to see a book in the series that doesn't use "crinkling eyes" or mention anything about the little lines around the Dom's or anyone's eyes or mouth. *smile*

Great series that just gets better and better with each book. Crinkles and all!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a great, quick, hot little read. It was also informative in spots. i was sad that it ended so abruptly though. i guess i'll have to get the other 8 in this series. :)

My new favorite series!

On His Terms by Sierra Cartwright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed "On His Terms", but, it was different than the first book in a lot of ways. I found this one to be, in the beginning, a bit more technical. I kept looking for the emotional. I wanted the emotional connection with the characters, which I didn't get in the beginning, but the story was so good that I kept going, knowing (hoping) the connection would come.

I wasn't disappointed! You could see the slow turn coming and it kept me turning the pages.

This book turned out to be one of my favorites and I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys learning about the BDSM lifestyle.

I really feel that Sierra Cartwright, more than any other author of this genre, *gets it*. Her research into the elements of this lifestyle and her ability to put pen to paper and write a series like this, shows that she cared enough to get it right.

If you're in the lifestyle or just want to learn more about it, this is definitely the series for you!

Sierra Cartwright just nails it and I'm looking forward to the next in this series, "Over the Line", from the excerpt I read, I have a feeling it's going to be more about a bratty sub. Can't wait to read where her research took her in *that* one!

Oh it feels so good to get back into reading and reviewing again! Busy life has kept me away from this for too long, it's time to pick up a cuppa coffee and my Kindle, kick off my shoes and put my feet up,  for just a little while and escape into the virtual worlds i enjoy so much!
