Most of the scenes have a common theme but I especially loved the last story.
The scenes involve a female with multiple male partners and some might be too intense for the others. But if you've been following this author for as long as I have, then this is just the norm.
Prepare to get hot and bothered as you read the steamy stories and don't forget about SSC.

3.5 stars for this. I can't say I enjoyed this very much because it was really promising. I'm a sucker for childhood sweethearts, regardless of background. I've read stories involving motorcycle clubs from Kristen Ashely and Joanna Wylde and it reminded me of those.
Still, kudos to the author for the unexpected ending, that really threw me for a loop. This is definitely not for every one and the warning should be taken seriously. Yes there were very mature and explicit scenes here that may offend some, and excite others. Hey, whatever floats your boat!
I admire how Ms Joyce writes unpredictable scenes and characters. Sex scenes were always fast and it's hardcore.

I want to give this book justice by elaborating my review. The stories are short and steamy with BDSM and they're centered around Chateau Follet, a place where all inhibitions are left at the door and what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
I particularly liked the cousin switching story and I'm intrigued by what happens next. The last story is a pseudo adultery (take note of the word pseudo) and I'd like to also know what happens next.
The stories were expertly written to make the reader wonder how the relationships would develop (or if they would), and if there's love along the way.
The scenes were sensual and arousing and both characters' perspectives were presented. Enjoy this on a cold day or just anytime you feel the need.

If I weren't an appreciative reader, I'd say this is pure smut with all the naughty things poured in, with a hospital setting. Yes there are a lot of mindless sex without passion, but to give fairness to the author, her writing style was excellent and it exceeded my expectations.
I do know what I signed up for when I first began reading this. I was expecting no decent storyline, obviously no love story, shallow or now character depth, just senseless banging. If you're looking for those, this one's for you. Again, I want to stress that I admire the author's work because the characters were surprisingly unpredictable, both of them have very interesting backgrounds, that one may overlook because this is a lust-based relationship.
The secondary character, Shirley Daniels, is the classic sl*tty nurse, like straight out of a porn flick. She's also one who incited the conflict. Given her newfound confidence and being single, she grabs fun by the balls - or sometimes three of them.
I might be ambiguous in this review, but I've looked at all the angles and I found myself hating what's going on one minute and liking it at next. For example, after one quickie, Harlan returns to his professional demeanor like he does quickies regularly, and for Joanna, a sexually-oppressed, recently divorced woman, she was thrown off-balance, but she picks up very fast and I just hated the parts where she got turned on, like a livewire after that one amazing f*ck at the elevator. It's understandable in her case since she's getting on in years, she's still attractive and she had a dry spell.
I liked this one although it did have parts that annoyed me, but I'll still check out this author's other works.

Another short read from this author I enjoyed. This is the third Mari Carr story I've read where the hero and heroine works at a school, and the seconAnother short read from this author I enjoyed. This is the third Mari Carr story I've read where the hero and heroine works at a school, and the second one I've read where the heroine is older than the hero, and the nth one where the both of them have known each other for so long that feelings between them grew from friendly to lustful. Given that there are a lot of similarities between her works, I'm still amazed how she conjures the situations between the characters.
Once again, I'm viewing this separate work anew because of the characters' different backgrounds. They do have a lot in common aside from being co-teachers. Both of them have loved and lost, Grace is a widow, and Jamie's fiancée dumped him. These events in their lives put a dent in how they handled relationships and it's amusing how all this time they've been waiting for each other (borrowing the words of a One Republic song).
Though it's such a short story, I felt the characters' sexual chemistry and how they're compatible in every way. Grace is starting another chapter of her life, this time without Maddie, and Jamie grabbed the chance to claim her. The sex was fan-f**king-tastic as always, there's interracial sex, anal, mild bdsm, but there's also lovemaking too. The only thing that differentiates porn from what's written here are the erotica, it's very intense, and the characters really felt strongly for each other, even during the menage.
The humor was brilliant, I loved the supporting characters, I also appreciated the timeline before Jamie proposed. Mari Carr rocks!

I loved everything about this book.
It has a mix of erotica, BDSM, paranormal, and just pure shameless (to the point of hedonistic) pleasure.
The scenes were explicit and wonderfully written and like the author, it's unapologetic.
I've always liked the concept of exclusive clubs where anyone is just free to be. Our society is inhibited as is and Femme Fatale provides a win-win-win situation for everyone.
I was pleasantly surprised by the paranormal aspect and I loved how everything was weaved together. Can't wait to read other books from Ruby Smoke. ...more

I loved the story. It has a right mix of suspense, frippery, and steamy spanking scenes.
I understand it may not be for everyone. I appreciate that it's not insta-lust or insta-love. Rex and Mary's story was a slow burn and it was quite comical that beside their enjoyment of the pleasures in the bedroom, their love and feelings for each other grew. ...more
