What I loved most about it was discovering that both Noah and Alistair were complex and full of contradictions. Noah was bad-mouthed, rude, insensitive, selfish, directionless...but also lonely, starved for affection, witty, smart and loyal. Alistair- cold, unscrupulous and violent if necessary, proved to also be tender, gentle, giving, caring and dependable. They had so many layers that I discovered during the book, while Alistair tried to "tame" Noah, who acted like the brattiest of brats until Daddy Alistair took the time to spank, care and dote on him, to show him that he's precious and worthy of love.
The central drive of the storyline was the relationship between Noah and Alistair. The author played with dominance and discipline, and the sex scenes were graphic, intense and incendiary. Lust came first and love followed in a natural way, until they owned each other, mind, body and soul...*happy sigh*
This book had intriguing mixed with sweet, intense and hot, hilarious and dangerous. Two utterly charming protagonists and their swoon worthy romance, and a host of interesting secondary characters. And, one of the best things for me was seeing the bad guys and the family they've evidently found together. Like any other family, they teased and riled up and fought, while obviously loyal and ready to face any dangers to protect each other. I loved all of them and I hope the author will write many other books in this series so that I can see them again.
This was quite an enjoyable read. A man wins the one he's harbored a crush on for years at an auction, to then sweep him away for a vacation? Sign me This was quite an enjoyable read. A man wins the one he's harbored a crush on for years at an auction, to then sweep him away for a vacation? Sign me up! Oh, and let's not forget the kink...
But Darcy didn't want to be swept away, didn't want a vacation and definitely didn't want to fall in love. I had fun watching Brooks win him over. Some moments between them were particularly strong, but the dynamic they found fit them perfectly and they also got a little sappy towards the end.
Overall this was an interesting story without too much angst, and definitely hot....more

Once again, Tanya Chris has managed to skillfully weave together hard-core kink and a loving relationship in a subtle, sensual manner. Edgy play blended with sizzling passion and tender feelings, showing that there could be healing in the pain.
Sebastian and Tripp seemed an unlikely pairing, but their bond grew organically, with ups and downs, twists and turns. Their scenes together were stunning and written in such a way that, as a reader, it was easy to have a good understanding of their head space and needs. I loved every step of their relationship, seeing them slowly be strong enough to show vulnerability. Eventually it was revealed that Sebastian needed love and care as much as Tripp, and it was a truly wonderful thing to witness, as was the way they grew to rely on each other.
I'm sad to see this series end. The overall storyline was closed in a very satisfying manner, and I loved knowing all the characters introduced throughout, and being part of the family they chose for themselves.

In my case, it broke my heart, but thankfully the story after that slowly put it back together.
After Arlo was rescued, he latched onto Brixby, first from hero worship and afterwards because his savior was also the personification of Arlo's dream daddy: caring, gentle and a stern Dom. But Brixby was also realistic and, despite how attracted to Arlo, he knew the younger man needed time to heal. Yet, although hurt, Arlo wasn't broken and knew exactly what and who he wanted, chipping away at Brixby's doubts, until the latter gave in and claimed who he'd always knew was his, to protect and to cherish... and punish, if necessary lol.
As always, Tanya Chris shined at character development. Arlo and Brixby were endearing, funny, passionate, fragile while also strong. Their kinky sides didn't become the whole focus of their relationship, which I appreciated. They had cute flirty interactions, as well as some heavy moments and sexy times, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them.
The secondary characters were a fun contribution to the story, many of their friendly interactions and banter adding cheerfulness and laughter when things got too heavy.
I couldn't put this book down. The overall series plotline was a suspenseful setting for Arlo and Brixby's relationship buildup, the investigative work and action perfectly blended with the romance. Fast paced, gripping, steamy and romantic... definitely recommended....more

Not only she always treats the community with the highest respect, she also helps the reader understand the need for dominance or submission, offering an all encompassing journey of the characters mindsets and emotions, needs and desires.
In this story, Harrison might not have been the perfect sub nor was Cash the perfect Dom, but they found their way to making perfect together. They had to dig their way out from the lies, but it made the story more fun and intriguing. The investigation added an awesome twist and it definitely influenced the pacing of the relationship between Harrison and Cash. I loved it, because it went from fast paced and thrilling, to slow and intimate, enough to highlight the depths of the growing feelings between the protagonists.
Kitchen Sink Dom was an insightful, cute, entertaining, sexy and incredibly absorbing read. All the characters were amazing and I can't wait for the next book in this series.

It kind of surprised me to be completely honest (in a good way, mind you), because I know the levels this author can take kink and intensity. She tempered down a bit on those, amped up the sweetness and the results were swoon worthy.
Braylin was adorable and innocent, cute and inexperienced, and Zen defied everything I'd expected from a rock star. As the same time as Braylin I got to see the amazing man behind the public persona and the caring, patient Dom. Zen gave Braylin the time to learn about his preferences, while taking care and doting on him. There wasn't a blazing fire between them, but a slow knowing each other with talks, cuddles time, the occasional spanking lol and kisses.
Like I already said, VIP Access is a very sweet age gap romance, with a slight kinky hotness. Maybe I would have liked more time with Braylin and Zen as a couple, but I really enjoyed seeing their relationship develop and I appreciated the back scenes of a rock band's life.

I admit I'd expected to be at least a bit bothered by the technicalities of a funeral home, but I found the subject treated with sensitivity, mostly thanks to Tom's gentleness and care.
From the moment Cypress imposed his presence and conditions in Tom's life, the story became addictive and captivating. I couldn't put it down because I didn't want to miss anything that happened between them. Their relationship was brimming with tension, initially, and it grew full of intense passion and love... and kinky hotness, which was a big part of their unique dynamic. Every conversation, every kiss and touch felt so realistic and vivid that I felt part of their story.
Once again, K.L. Hiers delivered an emotional, intense, heartwarming and powerful story. Loved it!...more
Ked was cute and endearing. I adored his unstoppable chatter, how well he knew his strengths and weaknesses, and most of all, how unrelentingly he wooKed was cute and endearing. I adored his unstoppable chatter, how well he knew his strengths and weaknesses, and most of all, how unrelentingly he wooed Sean. He learned about BDSM lifestyle when he found out Sean was part of it, although at the beginning only because he thought it was hot. Admittedly, kink wasn't strongly involved in their relationship, even when they started dating, definitely not to the levels I know this author can write. But they built together a dynamic that worked for them and I loved them together.
My favorite thing about this story is that, while it was concentrated on the romance between Ked and Sean, a big part of it also about the small community of Bear Lake and the natural environment surrounding it. The residents were amazingly portrayed, too, and I enjoyed seeing how much they were part of each other's lives, supportive, helping people who were there for one another for the good and the bad. I can't wait to see more of them in the next installment of this series. ...more

But it's not just that. It's also the portray of two lonely souls that surprisingly connected during their forced isolation, even though their relationship should have been only physical. The author did an awesome work at describing their feelings, their internal turmoil, until their bond became deep and meaningful, delightfully passionate and romantic.
Cabin Fever is another fantastic book by this author, who always delivers a romance with a lot of steamy hotness in it. Loved it!...more

What I love about this book is the contrast between the violence of the world the characters live in and the beauty of their feelings. Admittedly, it wasn't an easy story to read, especially the beginning, but I got sucked into the complexity of the characters and their emotions. Booker, Zak and Fable were troubled men, with so many issues that I'd thought they wouldn't go past them and make their relationship work. Their dynamic was a surprise and and incredible combination of fun, tenderness and insane chemistry.
Fable's Foes was an intense read. Suspense, violence, angst, anger were the backdrop for what the three protagonists were building together. But it was also full of surprises, so much laughter, genuine affection and most definitely, so much love.
