Grey ~ E.L. James

See the world of Fifty Shades of Grey anew through the eyes of Christian Grey.

In Christian's own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and dreams, E L James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the world.

Christian Grey exercises control in all things; his world is neat, disciplined, and utterly empty—until the day that Anastasia Steele falls into his office, in a tangle of shapely limbs and tumbling brown hair. He tries to forget her, but instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana seems to see right through him—past the business prodigy and the penthouse lifestyle to Christian’s cold, wounded heart.  

Will being with Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every night? Or will his dark sexual desires, his compulsion to control, and the self-loathing that fills his soul drive this girl away and destroy the fragile hope she offers him?

Amazing another stellar read!!

So I'll keep it short and sweet...

After seeing the movie I was a bit hesitant about reading Christians POV..

Since I for one did not Love the movie.. 

But I was hooked.. 

Couldn't get enough of it.. I'm hoping Ms. James will write the other 2 books like this.. 

I missed all the kinky Fuckery, the Banter, the Characters!!

This right here is what lured me in to reading contemporary erotica.. 

Their story is what opened my eyes.. broadened  my palate... and I haven't looked back since..

I want more!!! This was such a Tease....

 Laters Baby!

Fervent (Condemned, #3) ~ Gemma James

Fervent is the third book in the Condemned series.

I never imagined things could get worse, but they do. The men who took us show no mercy. They won’t stop until they’ve destroyed Rafe for something he has no memory of, and I’m their weapon of choice.

Tortured and defiled, they make me wish I was back in that cabin where death was favorable to drawing another breath, but our captors can’t break what’s already broken.

What scares me is the madness I see festering inside Rafe. I’ve taken his freedom, his career, his reputation, yet despite all I’ve done, he’s determined to fight for me, kill for me, give everything he is for me.

He’ll even die for me.

NOTE TO READERS: FERVENT is a new adult dark romance with disturbing themes and explicit content, including sexual scenes and violence that may offend some. Intended for mature audiences. Part three of the CONDEMNED series. This is not a stand-alone read! Please begin with TORRENT and RAMPANT, otherwise, FERVENT might not make much sense. 

This is the first series I've read by Gemma James and Hole. Lee. Shit.

Damn these two could not catch a break, everywhere they turned just seemed to tangle them further into a web of deceit and heartache.

While grasping at straws, trying to figure each other out mentally and physically they're thrust from one nightmare to the next. 

Right when I thought FINALLY!! we're left with still some unanswered questions and furious when decisions are made we all know will lead to a total train wreck!!

I don't know why I thought this was a Trilogy...

The closer I kept getting to the end the worst the situation seemed to get

I couldn't even fathom a semblance of  happy ending or anything close to an ending where anyone remained sane.

Well slap me twice cause this wasn't the ending and there's still a 

whole-lotta-fucked-up-ness awaiting !!

I need Vagrant NOW...

Power Exchange & Safe Word (Power Exchange, #1 & #2) ~ A.J. Rose

                           From the moment Detective Gavin DeGrassi steps into the world of BDSM to solve the brutal slaying of Dom George Kaiser, his course is not his own. Mesmerized by the context in which the victim lived and the images of the lifestyle seared into his soul, Gavin must find a way to navigate these unknown waters. With his personal life in upheaval due to marital trouble, and his professional life uncertain with the assignment of a new partner, Gavin needs all the help he can get understanding the case.

Enter Ben Haverson, a psychologist and a well known Dom. With Ben’s help as a consultant and attention to Gavin's own murky truths, Gavin delves deeper than he ever thought he would into the world of restraints and paddles. Forced to scrutinize his true nature and his innermost desires, Gavin has a choice: keep the fear of submitting at bay, or dive in and solve the case with the knowledge he gains. When another victim is discovered, Gavin’s choice is made for him, and he’s pulled headlong into the deepest, most emotional journey of his life.

Unfortunately for him and Ben, a killer has noticed, has taken stock, and has set his sights on the D/s pair. Can Gavin outwit him, or will his first exchange of power be his last?

       

Everywhere Detective Gavin DeGrassi looks he’s reminded of his attack by the Breath Play Killer. It’s in the house he lives in with his partner and Dom, Ben Haverson. It’s in the sympathetic yet pitying looks he receives from his fellow detectives when he returns to the force after a year-long hiatus. It’s in the suffocating coddling of his entire family, and the relentless reporter demanding an exclusive of his ordeal.

Most of all, it’s in his lack of submission to Ben, who isn’t convinced Gavin’s recovered enough to trust the power exchange between them.

The miraculous recovery of two teen boys from a twisted kidnapper gives him heart, and Gavin's determined to prove he can handle anything despite increasing strain between him and Ben, painful nightmares, and panic when anyone touches him.

But his next case is too close for comfort: a friend and colleague found raped and murdered in a fate chillingly similar to what could have been his own, and this killer isn’t stopping with one cop. As the body count rises and taunting souvenirs are being hand-delivered to Gavin, he faces a frustrating lack of leads, a crushing need to prove himself, and a sinking suspicion the imprisoned kidnapper’s reach is further than originally thought. A miasma of uncertainty and fear threaten to suffocate him when he asks a question with which he’s overwhelmingly familiar: what happens when a victim is pushed too far?

Combined review.. Both had a great plot, plenty of suspense, very engaging mysterious undertone, packed with action and was majorly Hot!

Power Exchange:

Definitely enjoyed reading about Gavin's struggle with coming to terms about his sexual preference and his need to let go and immerse himself in the BDSM lifestyle and Ben was more than anyone can ask for with his knowledge and desire to help Gavin through all that... The story line was slow to start but really didn't annoy me much until when the obvious was not so obvious to Gavin.. Really the story line was based on Gavin and Ben but the underlying investigation was just as prominent as everything else laying the ground for his marital issues and introducing secondary characters. So when Gavin was just plain blind to it all I was a bit peeved.. Other than that the intimate and dominating scenes were just HOT. Need to read Safeword and see where it takes Gavin & Ben..

Safeword:

Gavin finally stands up for himself! even though there were a few moments he was way to Dramatic... Everyone got what they deserved and there were some seriously Hot scenes... I thought the murder mystery storyline behind this one was SOOO much better. Ben I felt finally opened up and Gavin's family were well out of their shell and as supportive as they could be. The Epilogue was nice and gave closure to it all. And this cover is gorgeous I just had to mention that!
