About Lea Barrymire
Lea lives in Western New York with her hubby, three children, and miscellaneous critters.

A new Yummilicious Shifter series!!

I recently happened up a new Shifter series from Siren Publishing! Alanea Alder is a new author with serious promise!! If this series is anything to go by I will be reading her for a long time to come!


Fate Knows Best (Kindred of Arkadia, #1)
This is more than the typical shifter series. First it revolves around the town of Arcadia that is surrounded by a protective barrier to keep the shifters safe and secret. There are many different types of shifters here wolves, lions, foxes and the yummy bears who are the town originators and guardians. They coexist but are not overly social until a tiny human joins their ranks!

The first book is Rebecca, the human, and her grumpy a$$ bear Aleks!! I love their whole dynamic and can not wait to hear more of them in future books!! Rebecca is one of those people who everyone is drawn to and brings the shifters together. She is instrumental in reminding them they are humans as well as shifters and should be friends regardless of species.

There is also a great side plot that feels like it is going to carry through the series. Not to give too much away, shifters are disappearing and a menacing character is plotting evil.

The second book takes up in the story where the first left off. Kate and Bran the wolf pack Alphas are the central characters in this story. Kate discovers she has another mate in Caleb and they join in a super hot menage!! There is also loads of intrigue!!

I love that this series is not sticking with just one type of romance. If I understand correctly there will be MF, MFM and possibly MM pairings. I love the mixing and can not wait to see who will be next! It isn't just about the steam though, these are stories that can stand up without the steam. Don't get me wrong steam is always appreciated but I need a good story to wrap around it! And this series delivers in spades!

The town is full of wonderful characters who easily claim your heart and imagination!! There are six more bear brothers who need mates, a sexy Lion alpha and his whole pride looking for ladies or men, and a few adorable foxes!! Oh, I can hardly contain my excitement!!

If you like laughter in your romance this is definitely for you!! It has many laugh out loud moments that remind me of two other favorites of mine Sophie Oak and Molly Harper!

The only negative I have is that the narrative is sketchy at times. There were spots I had to backtrack to find out who was the narrator for a paragraph or thought. An annoyance that I hope will not continue, the author is new and this often happens when they are finding their voice. I am sure it will be resolved by the next book! And as I said is is a minor flaw that takes you out of the story at times.

Alanea has the future book titles up on her website but no details. Com on throw me a bone!! I need some info to keep me holding on until they release!! Or how about a release date so I do not have to religiously stalk her website, blog, facebook, twitter or blog!! I need these details!! I can be semi patient if I have info.


Fate Knows Best (Kindred of Arkadia, #1)Fate Knows Best by Alanea Alder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was so close to five stars for me, but I could not overlook the jumpy narrative. At times I had to reread a paragraph to figure out who's thoughts they were. A minor annoyance that too me out of the story at times.

Now the good stuff!! I love me a grumpy bear shifter!! Aleks is so deliciously grouchy and cuddle at the same time!! He is just my kind of bear! Add in the sweet tooth and he is right up there with my top five bear shifter loves!! Yummy!! There were a few times when he really stepped in it but the apologies were breathtaking!

Rebecca is a really terrific character, like the folks in town it is hard for a reader not to love her! She had such spirit and spunk! I also loved that she is a bookworm and accepted shifters so easily cause she reads paranormal!

There are so many wonderful side characters in town and I can not wait to read their stories. It is a really quirky sweet place and I think it could easily make my list of towns I wish were more than fictional!

Steamy deliciousness!! And a touch of BDSM to keep it really hot!! You may need a cold shower after the makeup scene!!

The side plot was well paced and supported the story. I can not wait to see where it will all lead. Everything was engaging and never really had a moment where I was bored. There were a few spots where things were repetitive but that is typical in a new author.

I really liked this and can not wait to hear more from this author!! Definitely one to add to my stalking...um following regiment!

Fated to Be Family (Kindred of Arkadia, #2)Fated to Be Family by Alanea Alder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a yummy series!! I am really adoring the whole feel of it! My only complaint is the jumpy narrative at times. Either stick with one voice or make it clear who is narrating at all times. It is a minor inconvenience but enough for me to hold back that fifth star.

Kate and Bran were awesome in the first book and I loved getting to know them better! Add in Caleb and it is a smoking hot menage with two alpha guys and one with a serious dominate streak in the bedroom!!

Kate is independent and can more than hold her own with her two men. We could have had better details in her back story. She was a really kick-a$$ chick and I loved her interactions with everyone in the book.

Bran is a little lacking in the back story department as well. He is super hot and sexy and I was all for the whole thing!! Plus he and Caleb bonded super quickly!! Loved their whole dynamic.

Caleb is a single dad in a new pack who meets his mate, who just happens to have a mate already who is the Alpha(not a spoiler, that is in the blurb). He is looking to find his place in things and puts his foot in his mouth, but quickly works to amend the situation. Oh, and if this were a straight up BDSM book you would be calling him Master!!

Loved the visits with the other characters in town and getting more of their stories!! The side plot with the hyenas was wonderfully paced and engaging! I was on the edge the whole time! Things are really coming to a head and I am eager for the next book!!

The steam was hot and heavy and so delicious!! This is a very active menage!! Like with the past book there is kinky play that borders on BDSM, it is the play without the whole master submissive angle. That is not a complaint just an observation. Sometimes I like the dominant attitude and a bit of spanking with out all the protocols.

Love this naughty series and can not wait to see what is next!! Hope the new book releases soon!!

Review - The First Order (Safeword, LLC #1) by Peyton Elizabeth


The First Order (Safeword, LLC #1)

[Erotic Consensual BDSM Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, public exhibition, flogging, spanking, sex toys, HEA]

Becca Schuler has always fantasized about bondage, but does that really make her depraved? According to an ex-boyfriend, it does.

After losing her job, and with no way to pay her rent, Becca hits a local bar to drown her sorrows. The last thing she expects is to meet a mysterious woman who assures that she can make Becca’s dream a reality. Is there really a company called Safeword LLC that places submissive women with dominant men per their preferences on a simple application?

Knowing she has nothing to lose, Becca fills out the form on www.safewordllc.com. Her placement lands her in the sensual and strict hands of Lane and Ross Ellison, who train her to be their ideal submissive. But when Becca’s fear of not being perfect weaves its way into their lives, she sets out to be just that and unknowingly risks losing it all.

Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings.



~MY REVIEW~


The First Order (Safeword, LLC #1)The First Order by Peyton Elizabeth
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

First of all I would like to say I am a big fan of Ms. Elizabeth's other series Menage.com, so I was thrilled when she offered me a copy of this book to review.

The book cover is always the first impression of the book. I love a sexy steamy cover with hotties to drool over so this one was disappointing. I hate the Fifty Shades trend of cover art. I have an ereader so I can read naughty books anywhere and have sexy cover models to imagine as the heroes!

I really like the concept for this new series, an agency that places Submissives with Doms. It is really intriguing. The downside is that this first book feels rather remedial. I am a fan of the genre so I know a lot about it from reading other books and this was very educational.

Becca is a really well thought out character who is new to the lifestyle. The whole premise of her book deals with training, that lends to the BDSM 101 feel of the story. There is great detail for anybody who is curious about the lifestyle and the author really gets into the mindset of the characters.

Logan and Ross were really interesting but I wish they could have been more dynamic. They felt more one dimensional to me, until the end when they showed more range. They also fell flat in a few conversations. The situation they were talking about felt unrealistic, it was more for the reader to gain information than a real talk between brothers.

The steam was more scene play and less intercourse. The scenes were really detailed and it was interesting to see how they played out. I usually enjoy books with lighter play and a brattier/sassier gal. I was not put off by the BDSM but it was not a style I am usually into. It gave me more of an insight into the lifestyle. The training was much more involved than I would have expected.

This story was not so much about romance. Actually there was very little. I would have loved more about the time they shared together and how the feeling blossomed. The feelings felt secondary at times. Perhaps it is more realistic to the lifestyle but I prefer more romance in my erotica.

All the critiques aside there was enough story to have my crying over their relationship! So, something had to have been right!

Ms. Elizabeth also did a terrific job of drawing you into future books of the series. She gave a taste of several great personalities that I am dying to hear more about! I am definitely intrigued and will be waiting less than patiently for the next book. This was a good start and I have great hopes for the future of this series!

What she doesn't foresee is getting tangled up with two cowboys who have her yearning for life in Divine when her dreams are in Colorado.

Rolling like a tumbleweed through life, Julián Alvarez takes the chance to be with Gwen, knowing she can’t stay permanently and his heart may be in ruins when she leaves.

Resigned to loneliness, Chris Potter believes his faults and lack of finesse may mean he’ll spend life looking out for others but never knowing love—until the day he sets eyes on a feisty cowgirl named Gwen.

~MY REVIEW~


Tangled in Divine (Divine Creek Ranch, #14)Tangled in Divine by Heather Rainier
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh boy!!! Reader beware, this one is a marathon not a sprint!! Many Erotica books are quick little reads, not this one!! It was triple the length of a standard erotic romance and trust me you get the bang for your buck!!

I remember Gwen from past Divine books and loved her! She has such sass and wit!! And I am all about an independent lady who speaks her mind! I loved her attitude and could see her easily falling for her men!!

I am only just getting to reading the Lusty series, so I was not familiar with Julian's back story. It didn't really make much difference because this book brings you up to scratch! I loved how steadfast and sincere he was. And who can resist a man with a plan to steal his ladies heart! He was also wonderful at advising his best friend in how to proceed with the relationship!

Chris is a great big teddy bear and definitely "woobie" material! I am all about a gentle giant who can let loose in the bedroom! I also adored his being retaught how to act with a lady!

The whole dynamic was wonderful to read! I was rooting for them all the way! Speaking of roots, holy bedroom hotness!! Ms Rainier definitely pushed the stereotype big men have very big...um...keep it clean...feet! Yowza!!It makes a girl beg the question how much is too much? Oh so yummy!! There were some touches of BDSM with spankings, ropes and blindfolds, oh my! But not too heavy!

With every new book you get to visit with your favorite folks in Divine! It is like you live there! In my mind I do! The author does a great job of drawing you in and making you salivate for more books in the series! Such a tease giving you hints and tastes of future pairings! Love it!!!

I highly recommend this series, but I advise starting at the beginning! If you start here there is just so much you will be missing!

Wrestling With Temptation...wrestling with finishing the book!

Argh!!! I hate giving bad reviews and usually do not go overboard with them. I am a firm believer in the subjectivity of art. Things I hate others think are genius. I try to focus on the main things like writing, concept and characters. There are several notable occasions where very popular books were useless drivel to me. Maybe it is because of the volume of reading I do and how spoiled I get with good writing. I just can't sit through bad storytelling! I was not one to tout the virtues of Fifty Shade, I could barely get through the damn thing. Unlike others it had nothing to do with he genre, I like a good BDSM as much as the next girl.

So, I recently started a series that sounded really interesting. The concept drew me in and the premise was unique. When I started reading I noted some things seemed off with the storytelling but nothing too major. About halfway through the book everything changed. My steamy romance turned into a dark BDSM horror story. It was really a major change.

Wrestling With Temptation (Temptation, Wyoming #1)
One of the major characters did seriously unlikable things. I thought how am I supposed to rout for this guy? He was straight evil and I don't think it was all the situation. I just could not get past many of the things he did and was disgusted when he warranted a HEA with the other characters.

The dark BDSM mostly came from one of the main characters who was a sadist, not my kind of Dom. He also practiced verbal humiliation, slut this, whore that. No thanks. There were also several mentions of rapes and forced seductions, plus a whole scene where one of the characters was in wolf form having sex with a human. Gross. This really should have a warning from the publisher!

After all that I want to know did anybody else read this series? What did you think? The other books still sound interesting but I worry they will be as dark and unappealing as this book. I will admit I skimmed through most of the end chapters just to make myself finish. Most everybody on Goodreads had 4-5 starts up but not many reviews.

The Sinful 7 series

This is a series from Dixie Lynn Dwyer published through Siren Publishing that just finished. There are currently seven books in the series but word is there may be a special holiday book to wrap up romancing fro some supporting characters. Fingers crossed!!

The series follows the Dixie Chix, seven friends who have had troubled past and banded together to start a night club. They settle in Delight, Texas which happens to have a history of folks living a menage lifestyle! And every now and then there is a bit of BDSM to keep things spicy!

Mostly I really enjoyed the series, the characters were engaging and the stories flowed nicely and were interesting. I did wonder how in such a short period of time all of their pasts would surface. I also thought they routinely did things disregarding their safety just be cause they were told not to. Why are heroines always so dumbly pigheaded?

Every story was a menage mostly involving pairs of brothers. Sorry ladies no MM loving on the side! Still the steam was plentiful and oh so hot and heavy!! Although it was strange every girl, even the virgins, became sex hungry nymphos once they got together with there men. But it is erotica so that is to be expected!

I loved the inter mingled narrative, well after the issues of the first book were resolved. It was great hearing from character other than the main trio. I also enjoyed the visits with prior hero/heroines. And every book ended in a way that really made you want to jump into the next one! So glad I waited until they were all out my limited patience would not had me waiting very nicely!

This author has a couple other series out that I also enjoyed. She is really entertaining and spins a very sexy yarn. She has definitely improved with each new book. There are still things you can nit pick at but in the end I was entertained and that was the point. She is on my watch list and I can not wait to see what she will come out with next!

Her Double Delight (The Sinful 7 of Delite, Texas #1)Her Double Delight by Dixie Lynn Dwyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A very interesting beginning to the series. I am definitely intrigued.

It did feel a bit repetitive in the story at times. Also lots of hints about the girls past but lacking solid details.

I liked the ménage and felt the romance could have been stronger.

Steamy as all get out once they got to doing the deed. Even that could have been a but more.

I was very distracted by the way the narrative would change in the middle of a section and then change back. At times it was unclear who's point of view was being given.

Overall a interesting start to the series and certainly enough to have me hooked.

Double Inferno  (The Sinful 7 of Delite, Texas #2)Double Inferno by Dixie Lynn Dwyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book was better than the first, the narrative is much clearer.

I like that each book is about one pairing but has snippets of other girls as well. I am loving the hints at their futures. It is also nice to get a bit more if Susanna's story as it felt incomplete.

The way they harped on the age difference you would think it was twenty years not a measly five and six.

The steam was hot when it arrived. BDSM was handled nicely and mostly worked for the story. Loved the shower scene!

The mystery was a but of a bust because the bad guy was obvious. I wish there had been a twist.

Overall a good read and pulls you more into the series.

Her Double Delite Warriors  (The Sinful 7 of Delite, Texas #3)Her Double Delite Warriors by Dixie Lynn Dwyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It seems things in the series are heating up! This is Alexa's story with her two sexy military bikers Michael and Chad.

In this story the guys have help Alexa overcome fears from her past. Then a figurer from their top secret military job is a threat to her.

The story flowed nicely and I loved the mixing in of the other girls stories. The narratives have become much cleared and easier to follow.

It took awhile for the main trio to get steamy but when they do watch out it is hot and heavy! There is a bathroom scene that is super sexy! There is also a bit of steamy action between past couples that burns up the pages in the beginning!

I am really liking this series and can not wait for the next book. I really love the hints for the other girls stories that are mixed into each book. It helps keep you salivating for the next story!

Double Infiltration (The Sinful 7 of Delite, Texas #4)Double Infiltration by Dixie Lynn Dwyer
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Another good book in the series. It had a few repetitive moments. overall good story and a fair amount of drama.

The steam was nice but it took awhile to heat up. There was less action from other couples to keep the beginning of the book hot. It was more of a lukewarm.

I am still a fan of the series overall and ready to jump into the next book. Very happy that the pesky roving narrative issue was fixed, things are much clearer now.

Juliet was a bit too meek for my taste. I get she had trauma but I prefer a supplier kind of gal. In the end it was an enjoyable read and that is the whole point.

Double Trouble (The Sinful 7 of Delite, Texas #5)Double Trouble by Dixie Lynn Dwyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great story in the series. Although they are getting kinda pattern.

Sally was just an ok character for me, I tried to like her but her self doubt was a bit annoying. Likewise Mason and Steven were angsty. I could have done with more assertiveness all around.

For military and ex military they certainly fall for some typical bad guy tricks. That is one thing that bugs me across the board with this series.

The steamy wasn't until about halfway through the book and them it was quite often. Seems once these girls give up the v card they just can't get enough!

Only two books left in the series, wonder what else could go wrong for the Dixie Chix!

Her Double Deputies (The Sinful 7 of Delite, Texas #6)Her Double Deputies by Dixie Lynn Dwyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Another great read in the series. I really like the mixed narrative now that it is clear who is speaking each time. I love catching up with the other Dixie Chix and their men each story. They all flow so nicely together.

Elise has always been a sassy favorite of mine. I really enjoyed her story and all the ensuing drama. Tommy and Vic could have been a bit more aggressive in the beginning. They really made up for it later with a super sexy scene involving handcuffs! Hot!!

I like the series but each time I feel something missing. Not sure what the issue is but the stories, while engaging, somehow feel hollow in the end. Doesn't stop me from reading but just an observation.

Loads of steam in the second half of the book. Once the trio falls into bed they have trouble getting out of it! Not that that is an issue in a steamy romance like this.

Her Double Delite Angels (The Sinful 7 of Delite, Texas #7)Her Double Delite Angels by Dixie Lynn Dwyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A nice ending to the series. This time the big drama was a health scare and loads of past turmoil. Ava is almost too self sacrificing and Colton is a bit of a hard a$$.

In the end the series wrapped up rather well. Everybody settled and making one big happy family. I really like this style of mixing all the ladies tales to give a more complete overall picture. I also enjoyed the varied narrative. I live getting more than the main characters POV and the others added great insight.

The steam did not come until late in the book and wasn't as heavy as other stories. It was almost as though the author forgot she was writing an erotic romance and remembered more than halfway into the book. Quick insert some sex scenes. Still it worked for this story and the emotional drama that was happening did not lend to exuberant sex right away.

The only complaint I have at the end of the series is that Vic, Dale, G-force and Big Dog did not get romances. I know they aren't the Dixie Chix but they deserve HEA too! Maybe the series could have one or two more books for them!

PUP Squad Alpha series Review

Vampires' Witness (PUP Squad Alpha, #1)Warlock's Way (PUP Squad Alpha, #5)Demon's Embrace (PUP Squad Alpha, #2)Wolves' Bite (PUP Squad Alpha, #6)I love me some paranormal hotties!! And this whole series is great! And it is all menage...double the pleasure double the fun!!

The books start with a bang and a mystery. The PUP Squad is like the police of the supernatural world. So many hotties to choose from. Vampires, Warlocks and Weres...oh my!

Angel's Touch (PUP Squad Alpha, #7)Sure the books have story arc flaws but if you can overlook minor annoyances the series is great!. Well planned stories that interconnect nicely. Each heroine needs saving but has her own strength in the end. The guys have personal drama they need to overcome to win their woman.

Sorry MM lovers these fellas are strictly about the ladies! Oh but the steam is a flowing ! Who said you can't get busy while in danger! That is the best time!!

Dragon's Fire (PUP Squad Alpha #3)The mystery elements are nicely done although the story could have had a little more meat on it. But it was still entertaining.

Abby Blake has several other series out but this was my favorite. The others are interesting but not as well done. She improves with each new book. Definitely one to watch!!

The cover art is super hot!! I mean lick the screen if you must! Very lustable!

Definitely worth a read! take a trip over to Siren Publishing to pick them up!

Once Upon a Time in Bliss by Sophie Oak




First and foremost I have to say I love everything Sophie writes!!
This is the eighth book in the Bliss, Colorado series. I recommend reading them in order!! If you have not read the books you are missing out! What are you waiting for? Drag your PC over to Siren and get these books!! They are super steamy, funny reads with plenty of story to back up the sexy scenes! I laugh and cry with each new book!

This should be a fairly safe review if you have not yet read the book. I try to be spoiler free! Oh, and I love to talk books so feel free to comment!


Once Upon a Time in Bliss (Nights in Bliss, Colorado #8) by 

Once Upon a Time in Bliss (Nights in Bliss, Colorado Prequel)
Summary - CIA operative John Bishop arrived in Bliss, Colorado seeking a respite from the high stakes game of blood and lies that sent him to the worst corners of the world. A week playing the role of vacationing professor Henry Flanders would recharge his batteries, especially if he found a submissive plaything to occupy his time. 

Nell Finn has spent her life focused on helping others, but when she meets the tall and mysterious Henry Flanders, she can’t stop imagining what he might do for her. When Nell and her mother are threatened, Henry comes to her offering his protection and comfort. 

But as the threats escalate out of control, Henry discovers that the beautiful and innocent Nell is much more than a plaything. Can he save the woman he loves without exposing the secrets that would drive her away?

My Rating - 5stars(If I had more to give I would!!)

Cover Art - Beautiful!! Hot image!

My Review - I have long been waiting for this book!! I love Bliss, Colorado! This series is steamy, funny and a great story every time! 

Going in to it I was unsure how much I would like the prequel, I hate knowing how a story will end. That was not a problem!! Lots of fresh details and insight into the lives of the denizens of Bliss. 

I have always loved Nell and her protests so seeing how she and proper staid Henry matched up was fantastic. It puts a whole new meaning on every time she says "Yes, Henry" in previous books! Love the BDSM angle!

You see more of young Logan in this book and officially meet his BFF Seth! They are a hoot! But don't tell his moms! I am so ready for their book next! You are a naughty, naughty book tease, Sophie!

I freely admit to crying at a couple points in the book. Even though I know Henry and Nell are together from previous books! I still choked up!

Oh, Dearest Sophie, after the epilogue you really need to buckle down and get the next book out ASAP!! I do not think I can wait too long!

I would not mind a insiders guide as a bit of a refresher. So many books interconnected and many characters to keep track of, not a complaint, just an observation. I may just need to reread all the books just for good measure. That will buy you a little time in getting the next book out!

Check out all the sexy Bliss, Colorado books!!

DESCRIPTION

This book is loosely related to Scarred and Kilt from the anthology Something Wicked This Way Comes, Volume 2.
Jasmine met the guy of her dreams, who unfortunately wasn’t interested. She’s spent a year filled with lustful fantasies and soul-deep yearning for a man who doesn’t want her. Now she’s locked away in a dark hole, kidnapped by a madman, her life almost over. She’ll never know what could have been, if only he’d felt the same.
She was supposed to be his a year ago, but Chase had walked away to protect her from his world. He’s a mixed-breed—vampire and werewolf—and his list of enemies is endless. His current mission is to hunt down and kill a rogue vamp who’s preying on humans, but what Chase finds changes everything. Jasmine’s one of the victims. 

Instinct demands he protect her, possess her. He won’t be denied again. This time, she’s his—for keeps.
