Dec Pub 9 Review of Princess of Lust by Ann Mayburn

Princess Of Lust
by Ann Mayburn
 
 
   Natalia is still trying to adjust to all the 

changes in her life.  She has lost her mother 

and the man that she thought was her father.  

She is half human, half demon princess and it 

feels like the weight of the world, or Hell, is 

on her shoulders.  And it sort of is.  She is trying 

to save Hell from chaos and now even angels 
are asking for her help on earth.
 
 
Review:  This is book 2 in the trilogy, For The 

Love Of Evil.  The author recommends that you read 

book one before reading the others and I will agree 

that it will help the story flow easier for the reader.  

But I read this book without the first and was able to 

follow along.  But the third book is definitely a 

requirement if you want to follow the story through to 

its ending as this book leaves you with a cliffhanger.  

It is a good book with a story line that kept me 

intrigued and ready to find out what happens next.  

So, I am off in search of the next 
book (Servant Of Lust)

Dec Pun 8 Review of Wiskey Tango Foxtrot by Heather Long

Title: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Always a marine book 10 
 
Author: Heather Long
 
 Captain Joe Cooper Anderson might have been 

confined  in his wheel chair for god knows how 

long but the sound of a baby crying was really 

concerning him. Joe finally decided to go next 

door and check on the baby. When he did he met

she had been through more then he could imagine and 

set out to help her. Melody was very hesitate to

in her marriage and then what she was going through 

with her daughter Libby broke my heart. But the way 

Joe came in to her life and helped her put it back

this book 5 stars.

Dec Pub 7 review of The Two and the Proud by Heather Long‏

The Two and the Proud

Always a Marine  #8

by

Heather Long

Rowdy, went against his family’s Naval tradition to enlist the Marines. He never expected to see as much combat or valor as he did in the field, but every engagement furthered his commitment to his Marine brothers.  Now, with an offer to end his contract early on the table, Rowdy has to take a long look at the life he left behind, the life he’s built, and the future he longs to have.  He wants to be career Marine, but with cutbacks doesn't want to take an other's  job that may  need it.

Inactive Marine, Kim Wakefield, continues to serve her country as a Naval Criminal Investigator for cold cases.  She’s hard on the grunts and sailors because she is one of them—and they didn't sign up for easy. Tired of the seedier side of military life—picking up drunk Marines, AWOL sailors, busting drug running operations, or worse, sending drug addicted servicemen to court marshal and treatment. She longs to have her faith in her fellow Marines restored.  

Both Kim & Rowdy are lonely so they sign up at 1Night Stand.  Thrown together by chance these two jar heads have a combustible chemistry—but do they have what it takes to make it last?

This is a really quick read with characters that capture your heart from the beginning & a plot that keeps you reading until the very end.  The only thing is I wish the story had been longer.  I'd really like to see where things went from where it ended.  This is the first book I've read by this author & I'm interested in reading more by her.

I rate this book 4 stars

Pub Dec 6 Review of DEC PUB - Wild and Unruly by Amanda McIntyre‏

Wild and Unruly

Librarian Lillian is obsessed with the Old West and wants nothing more than for a cowboy to come and sweep her off her feet.  One night a mystery box containing an old necklace is found in her library and she takes it home only to wake up somewhere unfamiliar and having an argument with the man of her dreams Sheriff Jake Sloan over the behaviour of "her girls!"

When I saw the cover of this book I assume it was set entirely in the the past so was surprised when it started in the modern world.  There are several things that I really liked about this book, one was that when Lili finds herself in the Old West the details of her other life are fuzzy so although they leak through she isn't totally shell shocked, and the fact that a lot of the leaking was in the form of Billy Joel songs did have me laughing. I also liked the way that although she finds herself in a male dominated era she doesn't steam in and try and make everyone liberated as that would have made the story harsh instead she uses her charms gently to change peoples perceptions of her bordello.  This was a sweet read,- who can resist a cowboy- Yee Haw!!!

I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars

Review of Trapped Between Two Alphas‏ By Sam Crescent

4 out of 5 stars. Steamy and still gets in some great action of other kinds too.

Cynthia is taking control back. She has been stuck in hospitals the last several years fighting illness and wants freedom before the end. Renting a cabin in forest that border two states sounds like the perfect get away. She just wants to get as far away from hospitals as she can to enjoy herself and live a little. There's also the matter of getting rid of her pesky virginity.

Matt and Kris haven't seen eye to eye for years. Location dictates that they have to tolerate each other because they border each other's packs.  When Cynthia rents the cottage that boarders both of their lands though, they quickly realize that they are both meant to be with her. Can they put aside years of resentment and hate for her?

Matt and Kris quickly realize that Cynthia is sick, they just can't place their finger on what that deathly smell is. As if that wasn't bad enough while trying to figure out how to save Cynthia, they are being hunted. Every one is a suspect, no one is above suspicion. Who is hunting the packs?

I enjoyed this book. I was great to see Cynthia take control of not just her life when her health was at risk, but she turns out to have a back bone and kicks butt. Matt and Kris also are not just Alpha men that are all brawn and no brain, but there is good character development giving them great depth.

Dec Pub 5 Review of Blade Dance by Danica St. Como‏

Blade Dance

4.5 out of 5 stars. Super hot adult sex scenes. These ratings that Decadent Publishing use are spot one. These scenes will melt your pages!

Wallis is a tough a nails woman. She usually is out in the field working the cases for the Bureau of Criminal Investigations, but her last case left her on crutches after being shot in the leg twice. She isn't out of the loop though, because her partners in the bedroom, Austin and Michael, are also her partners in BCI. They're just not always there when she needs them because when duty calls, they have to answer.

Typical horror story fashion, when the hero is away, the bad guy will play. OF course now that Wallis is handicapped she is renting the next door cottage  out to a new tenant. The more we learn about him, the more you can see trouble coming for Wallis. She should have paid attention to that urge to get a big guard dog.

This was a good story with really good build up to the climax. The story development focused on good and evil giving great anticipation.   If didn't check the genre/content this book does contain m/f/m, m/f, m/m.

Dec Pub 1 review of Cold Warriors by Clare Dargin

Cold Warriors #1

by

Clare Dargin

A woman, Caitlin Driskoll,  frozen in time awakens to her fate: deliver the weapon that will save humanity and cost her the ultimate sacrifice-her life.

When she's awakened from a cryogenic stasis, she's got some adjusting to do.  It's a new century and the planet's at war.  

Colonel Medoro Keegan lost the two most important things in his life during his Marine career: his wife to friendly fire, and his ability to fly combat missions.  Now, he's stuck aboard the Blanchard as the XO.  The Corps is the only family he has left and he's not about to lose the last thing he values.

Then he meets Caitlin, who isn't shy about telling Medoro what she thinks about his Marines.  How can such beauty wrapped in an icy body have so much fire?

It's the future, and a new kind of prejudice has replaced the racial prejudice Caitlin experienced in the last century.  After all, when you've been given a second chance at life, you are expendable.  

This is a quick read with a plot that keeps you reading until the very end. It's not my usual type of book but I enjoyed it alot.  This is the first book I've read by this author & I'm interested in seeing what happens in the next book.

I rate this book 4 stars

What I feel makes Decadent special.

We are very proud of the many authors whose books grace our website. Ann Mayburn, Sahara Kelly, Scott Carpenter, Rebecca Royce, Amanda McIntyre, Jennifer Probst…too many to list here.

We have a heat level for everyone, from the erotic 1Night Stand and Edge Series stories by Jayson Locke and Mary Quast to sweet romances by authors like Stephanie Grace and T. K. Anthony.

Our heroes rock. Jessica E. Subject’s sexy heroes from outer space, Heather Long’s Almost a Marine series with one after another, Desiree Holt’s men to die for. If you haven’t met them yet, you are in for a treat. The cowboys of the Western Escape Series are enough to make even a city girl move to the range.

Review of Not a Dragons Standard Virgin by Siobhan Muir

Not a Dragon's Standard Virgin

Isabelle, has always been considered "different". She has 2 sisters that do not look like her and Isabelle is taller than most of the women in town. The towns folk think that she is the result of her mother having an affair with a Fae. She knows her mother would never have betrayed her husband willingly. With her mother dead and the town  believing that she is Fae, no one has offered to marry her yet. She just wants to live, have a family and her own home. Her home life is not pleasant. Her own father, or who she thinks is her father, treats her like nothing more than a servant. Always calling her names and treating her badly. Her sisters love her but are starting there own lives. On top of the problems at home, there is a dragon attacking the village and surrounding area. The town has been sending virgin girls to appease it. Now the town is looking at Isabelle as the next sacrifice. Isabelle knows she will be sent to her death if they choose her. So she need to make a decision, go when the town asks and die for people that hate her or make it so she can not even be considered for a VIRGIN sacrifice.

Jon, kills demons. He was born and bred to do this task. Being a dragon in the shape of a human, he can blend into the human villages and finds the demons in what ever form they take. In this village, the demon has taken the form of a dragon. He will kill this demon and avenge his family and move on again. While in the town, he sees a beautiful tall woman. His attraction is strong and he hasn't had an attraction this strong for hundreds of years. After a hot bath and a good meal the attraction is growing, and when he gets an usual request from the young woman, how can he say no?

This was a really good book. I loved the authors style of writing and the way you are transported to a time where dragons, demons and Fae are just a part of everyday life. Isabelle is in a no win situation. If she does nothing she knows she will die and if she loses her virginity she will never be wanted by any man and she will be known as a whore. She would rather be a live whore than a dead virgin so, she embarks on a mission to find a man, but when she is thought of so badly, it is easier said than done. Wonderful story, wonderfully written and even some pretty hot scenes!! Loved it would love to read more by this author!

Even though they had not done anything sexual together, no one believes them and for 18yrs there attraction never waivers but are kept apart by Rafe's family. Marisol has always wanted Rafe. Rafe has always wanted Marisol. 

Marisol, leaving a bar, knows her car is on it's last leg. On her way home, it starts to die. She knows that she is not going to make it but can make it to the garage to get it repaired again. She sees the garage, and also sees that Rafe is the only one there. The tension between the two is huge. Nether admitting their attraction is still there. Rafe takes her home when the sirens go off. A twister is hitting Racy. Running to the safety of Marisol's basement. Being scared and in close confines, brings back memories and feeling thought long gone. After the destruction of downtown Racy, the two go and help out. Finding that only buildings were destroyed and all their loved ones are safe, brings to two back together for one spectacular night. The two have dreamed of this for 18 yrs. In the morning, Marisol thinks maybe they can finally be together as a couple, like they had wanted to so long ago. Rafe, still listening to family, loves Marisol but listens to his family and doesn't see how they can work out. 

After being with the one man she has dreamed of and now Rafe not talking with her, she gets back into work. Ellis, working with the town counsel, has know Marisol for a while. Single, and knowing he wants to get to know her more, they go car shopping and have a great day out. A attraction is there and Ellis wants to explore it.

Hot read, with lots of drama and tension. I enjoyed the read but kept getting pissed of at Rafe.  His family is a big influence and he has ignored Marisol, even though he has loved for this entire time. But saying that it goes two ways. Marisol did the same as well. Ellis just happens to fall into the right place and the right time to bring the 3 together. The 3 make a great team or "couple". Hot read, adults only MFM scenes. Thoroughly have enjoyed this series so far.

After several chance meetings, they have to admit fate may be trying to put them together.With family issues on all sides and the fear of the unknown can the 3 make it work or are they destined to crumble?

This was a very entertaining story short, cute and sexy as hell. Adults only, MMF scenes. Loved the chemistry of the 3. They are meant to be. Fate keeps throwing the 3 together and who are they to fight it. Enjoyed the story, recommend the series, if you want a funny, sexy read!

Review of Good Enough to Trust by Zara Stoneley

4 out of 5 stars for second book in the Good Enough Series. Adult sexual content that is guaranteed to leave you squirming in your seat for more.

Sophie has finally decided it's time to grow up and face her demons. Otherwise she will never be able to find her happily ever after just as her friends Dane, Holley and Charlie have in Good Enough to Share.  She knows that she can't go back and fix her what happened to her parents when she was younger, but she can do some soul searching and figure out why she walked away from what was once the best relationship she ever had.

Sophie just wants to go for a walk, when she comes upon some cows. It's a good thing Will comes upon her before she gets any more aggressive about trying to move the cow that is really a bull out of her way. It's especially good since Will is easy on the eyes, has muscles to spare and is only thick in the places that make a woman walk funny in the morning in a wonderful way. This farmer is looking for more than just a good time with Sophie, but is full of surprises. He's also looking to show he knows how to have the most fun possible. Sophie isn't against it, she just never expected Will to introduce her to the world of menage.  She may have not expected it but that won't stop her from having screaming fun orgasmic time.

What Sophie didn't plan on doing while she was soul searching was visiting that old flame that once burned so bright.  That doesn't stop him from searching for her while she is in town. Ollie can't stay away, even if Sophie already has Will. He has too much pride to tell her why he never came after her all of those years ago, and he just doesn't know if he even has it in him to even want to try again.

Review of Plague of Dissent by Nic Taylor

A Plague of Dissent

by

Nic Taylor

A fast paced thriller, bursting with political intrigue and corruption. It paints a picture of the UK, where media companies hack into personal communications at will, in search of their next headline. Of politicians lining their pockets with falsified expense claims and crooked practices operate within the police force. Where government contracts can be bought and sold by those that have the Prime Ministers ear, that to, on sale for the right price; and where banks and corporations make millions at the expense of the man in the street.
A story of greed and corruption; where riots and civil unrest are turning the country upside down and a small group of men attempting to use this anarchy that is spreading across the country to further their own agendas.
Into this nightmare scenario are dragged a young man Adam, his girl friend Isobel and his brother Dan a professional rugby player and England wing forward. They are pursued by the faceless men who believe they are party to information that could compromise their mission and have two choices, to run or, to turn and fight for their lives.

This is not the type of book I usually read, but I enjoyed it.  It was a little slow for me to get into, but if you hang in there you're sure to enjoy the story too.  This is the first book I've read by this author but I'm sure it won't be the last.

 

I rate this book 3 1/2 stars
