Shweet Sandi's Thoughts on Boy: The Training House by Eden Bradley,,,

Copy/paste the text below into your blog. Boy by Eden Bradley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Boy I have never been so happy to be unable to move (fibro) as I was the day Boy released! It gave me reason to be able to to lay flat and just enjoy Eden Bradley at her best. If you have not read Girl (The Training House Book 1) I would HIGHLY recommend reading it. I re-read it and then went into this book but that is because I have short term memory loss and wanted to make sure I got the best out of BOY.

Boy does take over straight from where Girl left off. This is one intense book that really gives you a deep understanding into the mind of a submissive/slave. This book comes from someone who knows what they are talking about so it is trustworthy and not dribble.

Christopher and Aimee have a very unique bond that at times confused me and I think even confused themselves. Then add Master Damon and things really got going. There is so much I could say and want to say but that would spoil this amazing book for you. I read this by myself yesterday but I will be reading it again with my husband this weekend. OH what to do with my daughter and grand daughter who live with us. This is definitely a book that can be read with partners if you are both interested or into the lifestyle.

I am looking forward to more from Eden Bradley and The Training House ...Yes Much Much more please and quickly Mistress!!

Just in case you missed my thoughts on Girl when it came out and where you can get it I am making it easy for you and adding it down below for you to take a peek at.....


Girl by Eden Bradley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been waiting for this book since I heard that Eden Bradley was writing it. I have been learning about the lifestyle and being a submissive myself, I was very interested in reading this book. She did not let me down.

Girl is a submissive who has signed a slave contract to do whatever the Master wants he to without question for the next year unless he cuts her loose from the contract. She feels an instant connection with the Master and it seems he does as well. There is another submissive a male who Girl feels a connection to by looks alone.....

This book is intense and is one I personally will be reading more than once. Yes there is a cliffhanger but one I do not mind at all. I am looking forward to BOY the next book in this series.

Let me say this is a hardcore book and not one who has no idea what BDSM is about so take that into mind before reading this book.
Thanks Eden you have started answering many of my questions

Moonbound A New series Books 1-5.... My thoughts

The Werewolf Cowboy by Krystal Shannan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great start to a new series and it is wonderful! I have to admit I was a lucky girl and got the first 4 books of this series at one time to read in advance to see what I thought and to give an honest review. OH WOW lets just say I was begging for more books and like NOW.

So The Werewolf Cowboy gets us started off with some folks you might already know if you have read the Somewhere Tx series, The VonBrandt family. We have a meeting of 2 packs the VonBrandt in Texas and the Dubois pack comes up from La. They are trying to find out where Elise an unclaimed wolf has come from. BUT in this book it ends up being more about Sheriff Allan VonBrandt who likes to live as a human and not a wolf and the alpha's daughter from the Duoibs pack.

This book was good and hot. It is so good to see a strong Alpha female every so often in the books instead of it always being Alpha males. There are some laughable moments in the book as well as lots of heat and also some suspense as well. Great start to Moonbound series!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The second book in the series is even better than the first book and I did not think that could be possible. I am really glad that I was gifted the first 4 books to read all at once it helped me get the entire feeling of this series and I could not put them down. Of course you are getting my honest review of them as well.
In this second book Reyna's cousin, Aria LeBlanc, is feeling a little left out back home in La. since Reyna and Allan have mated and she stayed back in Texas. Aria lost not only her best friend but Reyna's father ( who was more like Aria's father) did not move Aria into Reyna's place in the pack he moved in a male Rainier and he also seems not as close to her as he was before. Maybe she is reading something into it but she didn't think so.

A summit was set up in Vegas and while there Aria happens to meet a chef who is a wolf. In fact he is an unclaimed wolf ( yes another one) and he had no idea there were more like him. This chef has some great ideas for date night, chocolate and whip cream. Great book! The way this is going book 3 will be even better!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book 3 of the Moonbound series is when things start to get more heated and by that I mean more into the looking for the monster Adrian who is stealing women and taking them to Mexico (they believe) to be in his harem of sorts. The summit decides to send 10 enforcers to Guadalajara to get intel on his location and what he has set up there. Rainier is one of the enforcers to go another is a female wolf from Boston Nora Cavanaugh. And I am sure you can see what is coming so I won't share I will let you read and find out about Rain and Nora OR IF anything happens....
This book was given to me to read for an honest review. OH man it is good. This one has all kinds of different kinds of HEAT in it and let me just say read it!
Now it is part of a series of books. Each book is a stand alone but it does benefit you to read each book because they do build on each other but it is not necessary to enjoy the book or get the story from each book. Now I am heading to book 4....

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the fourth book in the Moonbound series and while you do not have to have read books 1-3 to follow this book, it does help you to understand it on a deeper level. I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. In books 1-3 we learned about Adrian and his evil nature. How he steals female wolves and makes them his slaves. Uses them in a wolf brothel and even Breeds them. The wolf packs are actively seeking him out and in this book we find out more about this evil monster and how he gets around.
The offspring of the female wolves that escape from this monster known as Adrian are who the packs are finding as the unbonded wolves like Marcos and Elise.
Tomas goes up into the mountains to see if he can get some answers from the people who live there, Once he gets there to his surprise he is led into a tent...a "sex tent" where he meets Citlani the daughter of the Chief.
Book 4 has so many twists and turns.... there were times I laughed so hard I hurt and other times I cried. This book tells us so much about what is going on and explains so much. SOOOO GOOOD.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is book 5 in the Moonbound series. You do not have to have read the first 4 books to understand what is going on but i can promise you that if you read them you will have a much better understanding of the depth of what all is happening being the packs and also the monster Adrian.

In this book we get a totally different tale than we thought we were going to be getting. Alex heads into Choaca, Mexico set to seduce Adrian's daughter Julianna Rossi in order to try to find out a way to get info on getting into the security feeds for the island. The idea is to get her tablet. Weird things are ONE she is human not wolf...two it appears she is completely in the dark about her father and what he is doing in the island.

This book is really good!~~ I am looking forward to book 6...HURRY please

New Release: ProtectionL A Bad Boy Stepbrother Romance by Vivian Wood

Protection: A Bad Boy Stepbrother Romance by Vivian Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is ONE HOT BOOK! I received this book from the author for a honest review and liked it so much I purchased a copy for myself so I would have one of my own and support her as well!

This book is not your typical step sibling romance you see out now a days. There is no "yuck" factor in this book at all but lots of romance and lots of heat.Prote
Elly is a pop star and at the top of her game. We meet her as she is being "saved" by this hunky security man after a creepy fan defaces her. Conner is not only good looking and ex military he is also the son of her mother's soon to be husband...SURPRISE SURPRISE for Elly. Seems that Elly has been left in the dark about a great deal of things.

As the two get to know each other sparks fly and I do mean SPARKS! Vivian Woods has always been one of my favorite paranormal authors and this is one of my first romance books to read of hers. I can tell you now I am looking for more quickly! She is a gifted author in whatever genre` she writes in and I now know to one click her romances as well.

Grab this one folks you will not be disappointed. Just make sure you have time to read it in one sitting because you will not want to put it down.

Great New Paranormal Collection Out today on Amazon

Bite of the Moon Paranormal Shapeshifter Romance Boxed Set by Katalina Leon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This boxed set was the perfect way for me to celebrate what would have been my mom's 82nd birthday. Since she is the one that got me hooked on romance novels and all.

Bite of the Moon is a collection of some of the best paranormal authors around. Some of the stories I had read previously and a few I had not. It did not matter, I loved reading them again.

I will start with my favorite wolfie author Michelle Fox: New Moon Pack Book 2
This book deals with the "made" wolves mainly Kane and Charlotte and how they are dealing with their wolf and human sides. I really love how Michelle Fox writes so you can actually see everything like you are there. I can see the hair sprouting out on Charlotte's arms when she hears the hunters talking about hunting the wolves. I can see the "Hunter" who knows about and how to kill a werewolf.
You will find yourself going and getting book 1 after you read this one if you don't already own it. (First Moon (New Moon Wolves 1)

Between Two Wolves by Catherine Vale
One very hot read shifter Ménage, the story of Colt, Jericho and Risha. Risha is out to discover herself and while doing so discovers these two "men. What we get is one very hot story.

Lyric's Accidental Mate by Elle Boon
Lyric is a wolf shifter. Rowan is a human who is a member of Special Forces. Lyric was being attacked by rouged wolves and greatly outnumbered. Rowan (of course had no idea she is a wolf) jumped in to save the day and gets messed up pretty bad. Lyric ends up saving him and more. Great read.

Preferred Prey by Erika Masten
If you have not read Erika Masten's books you are missing out. This lady can oh so write!!!! In this book we meet Tabitha Vallins and Finn McCaffrey. Finn was Tabitha's protector all thru foster care then one day she thinks he gave up on her and left. She is working at a strip club hoping it will bring him back or at the least it will bring someone else to turn her. Little does she know but Finn ...he left to save her from himself. Talk about heating up the pages of a book OH YES~!

MacBrun, Bearly a Nip: Bite Of The Moon by Katalina Leon
This is the first book I have read by this author and now I am off to get more from her. A teddy bear of a werebear saves one curvy girl as she falls trying to honor her mom's last wishes! OH my goodness very very good read.

There are more books in this set so grab this collection while it is still such a great steal and settle in for a hot ole time.

New Release January 12... Hidden Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan

Hidden Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been waiting for this story it seems like forever! I just knew it would be one of those hard ones for Carrie Anne Ryan to write and even harder for us readers to read. I was so right. Make sure you have your box of Kleenex handy when you settle down to read Hailey and Sloane's story. Please note this is a novella so it is not a LONG story but it is packed with so much emotion that it feels like a full size novel vs a novella.

If you have not read any of the other Montgomery Ink books you will be fine jumping in a reading this book but I have to tell ya, you are missing out on a great series of books from an amazing author. Grab them and get to know this family by blood and friendships. Hailey owns the Taboo, a cafe and bakery that shares a wall and door with Montgomery Ink where Sloane works. Those two have been circling each other for a long time. It is time they landed or flew away. Both are strong souls who have survived so much.... And we finally get to find out what and IF they land together or apart.

Hidden Ink IS my favorite Carrie Ann Ryan book of all times. I invite you to find out why I would give it 10 stars if there was a way to do so. It touches on so many things that we see every day in our lives and this books is just so moving.
Sorry I can not say more without giving the story away. You simply need to read this one folks.

Please Read this note on Decadent Divas's Blog from Author Jennifer Kacey

As a reader I am appalled when I hear about authors not being paid by the publishing houses. I heard about this happening a couple years ago and then nothing else. (A different publishing house.) If this was simply one or two authors I was hearing this from, I might think oh their books are not selling much and they are upset. BUT that is not the case. This is happening to many authors over and over again over more than the past year and half and  I have read many authors post on social media about no being paid or receiving their royalty checks MANY months behind and them being very short and no accountability what so ever.

Last year alone I read over 500 books. That means the authors that wrote those books spent many hours working hard to come up with the ideas, writing, editing and then they had to pay to have them published. For many authors those books sold and they never received a penny for them YET I paid for them. The publisher received their share and the author's share and kept it all. Is that fair or legal? NO! Not in my book!

 You might not read the same kinds of books that I like to read as a whole, but I invite you to read  this article by Author Jennifer Kacey that she posted on Decadent Diva.
Do Me A Favor Don't Buy My EC Books

Review of Hollywood Stardust Books 1 and 2

Typecast by Kim Carmichael
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When this book started I picked it up, put it down wasn't sure if i liked it but decided to keep reading and fell in love with Ivy and Logan quickly into the story. Ivy is one of those folks who is suppose to be in front of the camera but she is scared to death and has stage fright. But she really wants to be an actress.
Then she meets Logan. Bad boy, sexy man and part of the iconic team of Hollywood Stardust Movie.
So many things went on in front of and behind the scenes of that movie 20 years before it would make your head spin and here Ivy is bringing it all to the surface again in interviews...or trying too.

Grab a copy of this book and find out how this it all begins but don't worry it doesn't end with just Logan and Ivy .... you get to go on to a second book. This is the first book I have read from Kim Carmichael and I am so happy I was given a copy for an honest review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Hollywood Stardust Series and it is my favorite of the two. I can so see this book as a move in today's world. I mean with the remakes of Grease all this book would fit right in as a movie.

In this book we get the story of Elin and Drew in all HER glory. Oh my we get the FULL ON HOLLYWOOD GLAM QUEEN and at times I had to remind myself just how old no young she was. That is not a bad thing but a good thing about how well Kim Carmichael wrote her characters in this book.
We get to see Drew back when he was part of the movie and how and why he thought and did the things he did...AND we see him now and WHAT He is now. (NOT giving that great nibble away.)

This book is so good I could not put it down once I started it. I can only hope we get books for the other characters in the movie cause I really...I do mean I REALLY want to see Ryder handling the chargge.com gal...or maybe we should say Cora Caine handling Ryder. I received this book for an honest review and I HONESTLY LOVED IT!

Elegant Seduction Review 5 Stars

Elegant Seduction by Mari Carr
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I always wait impatiently for the next Trinity Masters to come out and then sit up and read it the moment it HITS MY KINDLE. WoW oh WOW this one really was a WOW BOOK!!!!! Just when I begin to wonder where these two authors will go with Trinity Masters they rock and shock me to the core.

First off if you have not read any of the Trinity Master books before you "could" read this without reading the others but honestly I would HIGHLY suggest reading the series. I mean when you have a series that is as good as this one is, really do not mess with the best. Each book is a stand alone yes BUT starting with book one you learn a little bit, more and more each one building so you learn about this secret society.

Okay on to this book. In this book the New Grand Master  matches "their" first triad. By doing this it also creates a mystery that causes issues through out the book. Seb, Grant and Elle are the triad and that is really all I can say because you need to read to get the story line for yourself. Hot, Steamy and lots of Mystery. This one takes a detour that I have to say I did not see coming but I really liked a whole lot!

Bravo to both Mari Carr and Lila Dubois for keeping us moaning!
Now I am already ready for the next one and Yes I know I have to wait.

Newest Milly Taiden Book Review of Miss Taken

Miss Taken by Milly Taiden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Milly Taiden is one of my One Click Author for a reason and that reason is she writes some of the hottest and best para out there.

This is a new series and not only is it new it is different from her others. Raging Falls #1 hit it out of the park so I am sure the rest of the series will follow suit. In Miss Taken we find Kira. She owns her a company passed down to her by her mother but in her father's will her makes sure she is not allowed to run it until she marries or turns 30. Rude much. So he allows her worthless brother to run the company while she does most of the work. Typical male he can't get the answers he wants so he sends her out for them and then ........ well you need to read the book to find out because there is no way I would EVER give the story line away.
All I will tell you is it consists of a curvy girl.... HOT Lion Shifter, lioness who needs to have her butt whooped, a handsome Bear shifter and some other folks thrown in there for good measure. Now who ends up with who and when and all well that is for you to find out. BUT If you have ever read any of Milly Taiden's books before you know A. They are good B. They are nice and Steamy and C. They will always leave you wanting more more more. Remember each book is a story to itself.
