I am reading the box set but I also own book 1 and 2. i have been gifted the box set in exchange for an honest review.
Book 1 was like catching up witI am reading the box set but I also own book 1 and 2. i have been gifted the box set in exchange for an honest review.
Book 1 was like catching up with the girls Georgie Rae and Lizzy. Then as I read Lizzy's pov of her night at the party and experiences at the Devilhouse. Lizzy is quite a mysterious character and I am going enjoy peeling back the layers of her story. Her submissive behaviour in the bedroom is different to other bdsm books I have read and as the author lays down the words in this story you become to understand what has shaped her to need the type of sexual experiences described in book 1.
Book 2 ... wow! thing's started to get very serious as Lizzy falls further under Mannix's influence and we get to see how Lizzy'spast shaped her into a person who has no sense of self love.
I felt sad and I guess mad with her, that she could so easily give up her life that she'd struggled to carve out for herself. As Mannix slowly shows his true colours I am hoping that Lizzy will realise that the only person who will save her is herself.
No one can make her see sense not even Georgie can't get through to her.
Mannix is a difficult character to like. I have a tiny bit of compassion for how he got to be how he is. but his sadistic tendances and his dismissal of a Subs worth show that underneath the facade he's drowning in his own pain and allowing it to warp his soul. if he ever had one!
Theo has so many conflicting reasons for why he shouldn't or should step in to save Lizzy from a fate that she may not walk away from. Will he risk it all, only for her to walk straight back to Mannix?
Book 3 Well it's a good job I waited until Lizzy's. Story was complete as I'd have been swearing at the cliffhanger ending
Book 4
this book is the conclusion of Lizzy's story and wow what a roller coaster ride it was.
This book was the based in the timeframe of Rae and Wulfs wedding and it was great to get another perspective of the event.
Lizzy has to find the courage to fight for what she wants, and that's Theo, but it seems Mannix is not finished with her yet, oh heck he's got issues that one!
And with Lizzy's B of a mother hassling her, Lizzy has a lot to contend with.
Luckily Rae give Lizzy a reason to get away for a few days at least.
If I could wish any book girlfriends to be mine in real life, then I would choose These 3 girls, Lizzy, Rae and Georgie.
I just love diving into Ms Babylon's World of her Billionaires in Disguise. I have Raes books which I should probably have read first, but I don't think it's a problem really, in fact I started back to front with these girls, having first found them via Georgie and Xan's story.
So I don't think you will have any issues reading each of the girls series of books in what ever order, But they need to be read chronologically.
I just loved reading a scene I have already read through another character eyes, it wasn't repetitive and Ms Babylon has a talent for weaving an intricate storyline without giving the plot away until the right moment! And filling in the questions that I had when reading the other books.
And on that note... Oh boy wasn't our sweet Theo hiding some secrets too! Oops... Sorry not spoiling anything in this review, I will just say that as a whole I really loved that I got to read Lizzy's story in one fell swoop, as I would have been having major book hangovers having to wait to find out what happened next.
I recommend grabbing these books and falling hard for all of Ms Babylon's characters.
I do need to find out if one of the sub characters Noah will be getting his own book... I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT the Colombians...more

This book had me intrigued from the synopsis - a repressed kindergarten teacher who is sexually frustrated, and very naive who goes to the extreme and gets involved with a D/s relationship online.
The plot was a new twist to a popular Erotic genre since FSOG hit our book stands, but in the end it did not fulfill my expectations by the end, leaving me frustrated and having to wait for the next book to see what happens next.
I guess it would be hard to create a connection between 2 characters when they are conversing via chat or text and eventually phone calls, but the way the Dom talked didn't do it for me at all, It may be fine for some readers, but I guess for me, verbal abuse is a turn off not a turn on.
I must say that the imagination of the author was quite inventive when it came to sex toys and I did have a re read of some passages so I could picture the scenarios in my mind, and it does get you thinking... But for the majority of the book its just a story of the Dom giving instructions, via chat, emails and skype (without webcam - the sub was smart to not do video!) They then meet, then the dom gets cold feet when the sub gets too attached, then he contacts her asking to meet up again, she goes to meet him they play some more and shes all happy and then...the end
So for me, I enjoyed reading it on the whole but that it failed to deliver a rounded story for me, for some readers who love this genre they will enjoy the books, but beware its a cliffhanger so you are waiting for book 2 to know what happens next.

ONE - Buy this series, its one of my favourite Novella series. TWO - Make sure you have plenty of reading time as you will not want to stop reading when you have access to all of the series! THREE - Be Ready to be thinking "OH YESSSSSS PLEEASE SIRRRRRRRRRRR" FIVE - OMG you will be so Following Ms Keith every book from now on SIX - Why are you still reading - GO ONE CLICK IT
OK you really want to read my review... here goes...
When I first started reading this series, I wasn't a fan of novella's with cliff hangers, but here you go - you have it in one neat pretty bundle - I love the infinity symbol on the cover!
I am both sad and happy that the conclusion is now here, but I have a view when it comes to Books... there is never really an end, as its there just waiting to be re-read. And this book series will be one that I will re-read at some point in the future.
As I read this series, I have watched both Megan Keith's writing develop along with her characters, I loved Mackenzie from the start, she is such a character, both strong and also unsure of herself when it comes to relationships, and in some way so is SIR (as promised no mention of who SIR really is shall pass from my lips) But Oh he will still be one of my favourite book boyfriends, its been a real ride as SIR grow into the man he ends up in the end.
I was deeply engrossed by Ms Keith's writing... The emotional range you feel when reading has you bouncing from elation to despair and back again... you nervously hope to god that they will finally figure out a common ground to build the foundation of their future... WILL THEY WONT THEY?? (I'm NOT TELLING :P)
Ms Keith - at 94% before the epilogue at the end of the story, I was so choked up... AWESOME Dialogue Lady WELL DONE!!! And the ending... Well what can I say BRAVO Ms Keith!!!! You made me blubber like a baby :D ...more

This is another fast paced read from Avery Aster Ms/Mr?? if you are a follower of the author then you will know that there has been a change to Avery Aster's profile picture.
For me - whether Ms or Mr, I do not care, its the writing that draws me back every time not what gender the author is.
Now onto the book, we have a poly relationship with Luigi, Rocco, and Ex Model Jemma, we met these eccentric people in the earlier books, and in this book their relationship and jemma's career are in need of some TLC so Taddy sends them on a Sexcapade adventure over Europe... so if you are offended by MFM/MMF/MM this then this book is not for you.
BUT if you have read any of Avery's books then you will have already read some HOT SAUCY and UNCONVENTIONAL Stories so you are ready and waiting impatiently for more, as was I.
I prefer to read YA books, having picky tastes for most of the Erotica out there, I do not mind a bit of hot spice to my book, but I have to have a decent story, characters that are well rounded and relate to the actual plotline, and Avery has had me hooked from the first book I won in a giveaway which was book 2 in the Undergrad years, I loved Sex in the City and Gossip Girl on TV, and Avery brings you the same humour and spiciness to the books as you find in these two tv shows.
So if you are not offended by some descriptive hot sex scenes, then you will get stuck into this book and not look up until you get to the end.
Oh and you will also have a surprise in store.... no spoilers but read on when you get to the end of Unconventional... I say no more!...more

Alexandre, Alex and Xan... OH MY!!!
To be honest Alexandre gets my top swoon. But combined OMG - they are the most delicious morsel I read this book in one go, even swapping devices because my ipad went flat!
I think of all the Rockstar Romances I have read lately Blair Babylon hits the top slot with her series Rockstars in Disguise.
I have loved the band characters since the first book What a Girl Wants I have been hooked on this series, and with the series crossing over to the Billionaires series there are lots to keep your Blair Babylon reading fest going for a long time.
When a saucy but interesting read is the preferred book choice you could do no wrong by picking a book by Blair.
In this book we delve deeper into the physique of the Lead singer Xan/Alex/Alexandre. Seriously I wanted to hug him all better.
And poor Georgie is so confused to why Xan has insisted on a no fraternization clause, but that doesn't stop Alexandre LOL. No our supposedly dangerous facet to our lead singer seems more like a lovable pussycat.
As Georgie learns to love the stage and playing the piano in front of an audience through Xan's and the bands constant encouragement,the search for a full time replacement keyboard player brings someone from her past whom broke our Georgies heart.
Peyton deserves his balls sucker punched in my eyes, but our big hearted Georgie forgives him.
And as Peyton learns the keyboard from Georgie so she can return to Law school in August, Georgie realises that what they had is gone, and that she can't escape the feelings she has for our broken lead singer.
On top of the constant fear of being snatched by the Russian Mafia Georgie has a lot on her plate.
Just as we are getting to Georgie and our leading man expressing their true feelings for each other Ms Babylon does our hearts in by ending on a tense cliff hanger...
And if like me you are really hooked on these characters, you will have #OneClicked the link on the back of the book to pre order the next installment, @ the 99c special pre order price. ROLL ON NOVEMBER!!!
Warning - this book is for adults with a sense of humour and not easily offended with non Vanilla Sex*** Gifted via Netgalley for an honest Review ***
Warning - this book is for adults with a sense of humour and not easily offended with non Vanilla Sex scenes! As the book warns, in Avery's signature humour "Content Warning: Pent-up sexual tension between two best friends leads to water sports, BDSM, electricity, and fisting. Unsaid explores men’s grooming fetishes as well as other unexpected domestic duties including cooking, dog walking and true love."
This is my first book in "The Manhattanites" series, but I have read all the "Undergrad Years" Series so the characters are familiar, and I read XO, Blakewhen it released, I do think you need to have read either of the series to fully connect with the characters.
Now As I said I read XO, Blake when it released and I had read the others in that series before this, so these characters are familiar to me, Avery has a great writing style, and that is why I have continued to read and enjoy these characters.
The books are humourous, and her characters are flawed, selfish at times, but above all, they will do anything for their friends...
If you like Gossip Girl, Sex in the City etc then you will enjoy this series and the Under Grad Years also.
Now I do not read M/M books as a rule, but having read XO, Blake, I knew that I wanted to know how Blake was doing now he was out of college and grown up so to speak (I must find time to read the other 2 books!)
I do not think I will have a problem reading them out of order, but I do think it would be best to read them in order to enjoy and understand them.
I didn't have a problem with the sex scenes, some of them were pretty hot, so I can now see why MM books are popular amongst the general public, and not strictly for the gay community.
I have liked Blakes character since he was first introduced, He is a gentleman, who loves unconditionally, and unfortunately his happy ever after was not with Diego which is where I left him in XO, Blake. In Unsaid, we are at the point where Blakes divorce is final and he is trying to piece his life back together.
There are also the subplots of Lex's Wedding and Vive's Alcohol issues, to give a really great mix of storylines that tie up nicely together.
So in finishing, I would say if you are broadminded - and want to give the MM genre a try, then try Avery's Books, I did and I am happy to have read this book about 2 guys who finally get their HEA. ...more

We Get to see how Cole deals with relationships in this book, and unfortunately * Gifted in exchange for an honest review as part of the release tour*
We Get to see how Cole deals with relationships in this book, and unfortunately he's not got much experience in love, Cole may be the one who is the 'Carer' of the family, but his ideas of relationships are not really helping him with the attraction he feels towards Doctor Jax. Cole was 'THE' Party Boy - anything goes and he wasn't fussed who joined in. But his past may come back to haunt him, keeping secrets is never good when starting a relationship
We met Jax in the hospital, this cute doctor thinks more about her patients than her career and she is the doctor that gives Eli hope with Chloe. She is a workaholic with no social life and is estranged from her stuck up family and when Jax feels a connection with Cole she takes a risk as he definitely brings out the devil in her, I really liked how they were together, she was grounded but game for a bit of fun.
We also get to check in on the other couples, which is great, my fave couple are Dax and Birdy as they are so sweet together, and of course Eli is spending all his time with Chloe in the hospital, but seeing the boys and their gals becoming a big family as they build their latest club was nice.
But as I said keeping secrets is not a good way to build a relationship, and when things are looking good for the couple, a dinner date brings it all crashing down!
This book ends with a heartbreaking cliffhanger, but thank goodness book 4 is available to continue and see what happens next.

This book is a short but light hearted read, I would really like to know more of where Alice's adventures take her next. ( Book 2 is available and she goes to a massage on that adventure)
Ava has a knack of writing really great humorous reads, I loved her Strip Teaser and Strip Back books and that's why I jumped at reviewing this book.

So I started reading this book after finishing Abby WeeksThe Arrangement Box Set where I struggled with the layout but enjoyed the book content.
So I was ecstatic to see that the formatting was the with "" speech marks, and before I knew it I was 30% through and didn't want to put it down - I was just planning to see how the books layout was before I wrote my review, having a waiting list of other Review books for the blog.
But I am afraid that they had to wait in line - I needed to carry on reading this book.
My Favourite Genre is Paranormal, and I love my shifter books, I do read Erotica so I was like WHOOHOO a 2 for one deal! I knew it would be saucy due to the cover and Boy it certainly does get hot on your Kindle!
If you are a bit squeamish about Rape sex then I will warn you that the story line does contain scenes of that nature, there are menage scenes and the protagonist Aisha's Boyfriend is a complete DICK.
Aisha is a girl who has been made to feel sensitive about her body due to her boyfriend Heath treating her like dirt. She has been with him since she was 16 and he is quite a bit older than her. He's been out of work and Aisha has been working at a Vets while he drinks and whores around.
Aisha has an affinity with animals, especially the canines and when a hurt Wolf is brought in she manages to calm it down enough to stitch her up.
When Heath is offered a job in Alaska he convinces her to move with him, and the move is a long and arduous journey the route to the logging town is so remote that the company send out a guide to escort the pair from Washington State to Alaska, Hunter the guide seems a nice fatherly figure at first but Aisha is soon going to find out that the way Men perceive women in the remoteness of Alaskan Logging towns is more like the 18 hundreds where women are there to do the mans bidding in exchange for protection... BUT Protection from who?
Read this book and find out, Ms Weeks has taken the Shifter Genre and created an intriguing world of Wilderness men and the women who submit to their bidding in exchange for protection from the wilderness and all the dangerous creatures in it.
What Aisha will have to decide is who is more dangerous - the Company men who see her as a plaything to be used as they see fit, or the mysterious Wolf Shifter who she feels a compelling bond with. I really can't wait for book 2 to find out what happens next.

***3.5 out of 5 Stars*** I have read books 1 and 2 which all star Blake, Lex, Taddy, and Vive.
The group are having a well deserved night out, but it seems their luck is still not on the up and up and Blake ends up waking up in bed with Diego!
Diego and Miguel are both interested in Blake, although Blake being quite naive he is unaware of it until Diego confesses his attraction, so Miguel being a gentleman keeps quiet (but I think if he is patient he may be in luck! but that is for another book!)
The news reports that customers at the club were roofied, and that the waiter seemed to focus on the Manhattanites, gives Vive the idea that someone is out to kill her and her besties.
Will Blake Morgan, college freshman, gay best friend, and virgin finally pop his cherry?
The Undergrad Years is a new adult contemporary mini-series and if you love programs like gossip girl then you will love this series.
I liked Blakes story but I wish it could have continued longer. ...more
