Kindle Unlimited Erotica: A Taboo Love Story

Priest
by:  Sierra Simone
A passionate tale of love and taboo
Erotica for Men and Women

“I need to know that everything will be okay.
Didn’t we all? Wasn’t that the unspoken cry of our broken souls?”

The minute I read these lines I was hooked!
Poppy is lost.  She’s a young, smart woman still searching for herself and her place in life.  She’s a tidal wave of emotions, trying her best to feel ok about the choices she’s made and come to terms with her insatiable appetite for sex.  It’s all of these uncertainties and sinful desires that bring her to Father Bell, feverishly awakening a hunger burning deep inside him.
And boy is Father Bell one filthy priest!  Told mostly from his point of view, Tyler is a guy who turned to God later in life after a horrible tragedy changed him forever.  Prior to his conversion, he’d already had plenty of non-vanilla experience with woman, which I found to be very interesting as opposed to a man who’s never really enjoyed the carnal sins of the flesh.  He wants to be good.  He wants to make a difference in his parish.  And he whole-heartedly believes in God, even though he has every reason not to.  But all of his sacred oaths are challenged the day Poppy steps into his booth for confession.
This story doesn’t just flirt with the forbidden, instead it dances directly with the Devil Himself.  In fact you have to wonder…every time Father Bell feels as if he’s basking in the glory of God, is it really just the age old trickster himself, whispering lies to sooth a guilty soul?
No holy ground, relic or ancient oil is spared from their indiscretions, and I loved every second of it!  Poppy and Tyler’s chemistry is instant and beautifully written.  The characters are rich and full of angst, love and compassion.  They are both flawed and can be brought to tears.  They are real and sexy and hell!
Life isn’t always about conquering a boardroom, mastering the markets, dodging bullets and private jets.  Sometimes it’s about finding moral peace inside yourself.  It’s about finding the strength to make the right decisions no matter how hard or impossible they may seem.
Is this book a little blasphemous and sacrilegious?  Maybe.  But I found it to be a page turning piece of heaven.

Kindle Unlimited Erotica: Female-led Disicipline

Disciplined by His Landlady
by Lucy Appleby

An erotic romance available on Kindle Unlimited

This story is about the journey of Joe, a good looking guy who doesn't have a job or any real direction in life. His path is changed forever when he calls about an opportunity as a short term house cleaner. Hired on the spot, he leaves his pile of bills behind to travel through an expensive neighborhood, pulling through the wrought iron gates to meet the girls responsible for the ad in the window. But it turns out they aren't the owners of this beautiful red-brick house; just the two college students who trashed it after days of partying!
Left alone to clean, the real woman in charge, aka "Miss Frosty Knickers" Stephanie surprises Joe by coming home early from her business trip.
The chemistry between the two is instant, and after a day of tidying up they talk over a couple of drinks. Joe spends the night, and it doesn't take long for things to really start really heating up:

"Slipper," he repeated stupidly, staring at it and wondering why she'd taken it off.
He was about to find out!


Rules are set after that naughty first night and their relationship grows, each taking turns in discipline driven pleasure and kisses intertwined with kinks. Until Stephanie decides that Joe should move in after a drunken night out with his buddies:

"...while you are under my roof, you abide by my rules. As well as a rent book, I will maintain a punishment book. All your infractions will be noted and duly paid for - on your backside. Any questions?"

Once he moves in the fun really begins and Joe falls happily into his new role:

"Yes ma'am," Joe said. He adored her dominance. He adored everything about her in fact, and when she spoke in that tone of voice, it sent little shivers of delight up his spine.

This story features food play, all sorts of spanking and a very well developed female-led relationship, told from both Joe and Stephanie's point-of-view. After a slightly bumpy ride, Joe finds his perfect companion and the direction in life he's been looking for.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a love story full of kinky discipline and a happy ending!

Sloth: A sad, erotic and unique love story

kindle unlimitedSloth: A Sinful Secrets Romance
by Ella James
A Kindle Unlimited Romance

"Sloth is a 500-page, 150,000-word stand alone novel with many twists, one huge secret, and a non-cliffhanger ending. It will wreck you, but you'll like it."

A warning from the Author Ella James, and she isn't kidding. This is the first steamy romance in a series inspired by a sin; in this case: Sloth.  In Christianity, Sloth refers to laziness, or spiritual and emotional apathy. This isn't a religious book, although there are plenty of sinful themes.  Sloth is the name given to Cleo Whatley in middle school, when she was overweight and took forever getting ready.  It's a word that holds a great deal of meaning and importance to both of the main characters in this story, and one I'll never think about in the same way again.

Cleo: "There’s something bad about me. Years ago, before I learned to hide it, Grans would call it pride— but it’s more than that. It’s recklessness. It’s sin. This stupid bar, these stupid ropes, they’re nothing. There’s a part of me that needs to play this game with him. I didn’t even know my dark spirit could rise to sex, but..."

I don't want to give away any secrets, because that's the best part about this story.  From the very beginning, I had no idea what was going on.  I knew something was up, and I had some guesses.  I was sort of right in some places; wrong in others.  I was saddened and completely addicted.  Instead of giving away too many spoilers, here's a little overview of what's to come if you decide to read this beautifully written masterpiece that I'll never forget.

The Notes
This story starts with a chain of letters...a tiny written snapshot into two strangers lives.  Everything is very cryptic.  Little details are given as months and years move on.  Some of them are sad.  Others are very intriguing:

Sloth,
Please lord?  I'll answer to that.  Happy New Year.
R.

Who is this mysterious R.?  Before we could find out more, the story switches to present day where names change, and it's hard to figure out who's who and what's what.  Initially, before things really started heating up, this is what kept me turning the pages.

The Plot
Cleo Whatley is enrolled in a very expensive college, and deals mj to buy designer clothes, boots and bags.  On a drug deal, she's caught by Kellan Walsh, the schools SGA President and enforcer of the college's zero tolerance drug policy.  When they meet, both of their lives change forever...and that's all I'm going to say about the actual events.
As far as the chapters and scenes - this whole book is mysterious.  Illusive.  Intentionally deceitful.  Sometimes it's manic and over-the-top.  It's also well thought out and detailed in a way that I can only imagine how much time went into lining everything up so brilliantly, especially the key dates that weave this story together.

The Mood
Here's my hybrid take with a few of the story's themes cross-bred in:  Imagine lounging in a tub full of tepid water on a low, gloomy day. Top shelf vodka warms your veins as you're bound by blue tainted ropes. A water bong packed with buds gurgles in the distance, mixing with the sound of rain against the blurry window. Smoke swirls into your nose, silently stalking it's way up into your mind, dulling your senses. Confusing up from down. Distorting right from wrong.  So you can't tell the difference between breathing and drowning. The muscle relaxing bliss that follows is thick with unbelievable pleasure, blocking out all the pain from the past. Burning across your heated skin and toaking at the silky ropes that keep getting tighter. Pulling you away from the truth.

The Characters
All of the characters came to life, not one vivid detail left behind which I absolutely loved.

Cleo:  I wasn't sure if I really liked her at first.  Selling pot just to fit in?  But she's so much more than that.  After a really sad past, I find her to be very optimistic and well adjusted after the life she had growing up.  And I can't blame her for wanting nice things after not having them for so many years.  I think it shows she's young.  She's human.  She's also very loving and compassionate, with an admirable career goal after she graduates.  Last but not least, she's incredibly forgetful - sure you're not sneakin a bit of the chronic there Cleo?

"Mr. Perfect":  Kellan is hot.  And we get to hear just how good looking his is often, which is one hundred percent fine by me.  His features were so well written, I could always picture his body from top to bottom.  Sometimes I think I could even smell him.  He's dominant but not really a jerk.  Never too condescending.  Smart and a deep, inward thinker.  He makes all of his choices based on emotion and need.  He has a temper.  He's moody:

"Kellan calls the shots with us, and that’s a shame, because he’s stormy. Changeable. Sometimes I feel like I’m getting close, and then he flits away. Like now."

I think what happens in Part Two, Chapter Four really says the most about who Kellan Walsh is.  He's a man whose moral compass is set.  He's chosen his path and he's not turning back.  This scene was dark, and in my opinion a really big deal.  I wish it was explored a little deeper - did your decisions haunt you like they haunted me Kellan?

The BDSM
Master/Sub relationships in college?  Rooms with hidden contraptions in the ceiling?  I wasn't sure about that at first, but after the first hookup, you couldn't pry this book away from me with herb laced tongs.  It wasn't BDSM the first time - it was just pure cheek flushing awesomeness.  Kellan orders Cleo to the floor, and she has this special talent that I find extremely refreshing and highly erotic.  After a few minutes of kneeling before him she thinks:

"He’s beautiful. Perfection, really, even more so as he comes undone."

And man does he come undone.  They both do.  The intimate scenes in this book were some of the best ones I've ever read.  They happen often, and each one is hot, slow moving, sensuously described and very kinky.  Kellan is quite the dirty talker!  

The End
My head swelled as I tried to focus on the last chapters, my sinuses stinging so bad I could barely keep reading as I blinked the water away from my eyes.  That's never happened to me before.  Movies, yes.  Books no.  I can't wait to read this sad love story again knowing what I know now, and taking in all the details I'm sure I missed the first time around.  This has become one of my favorite books of all time!

Discount Dark Erotica - Review

Forbidden: A Standalone by CD Reiss
Currently $2.99 for all three books!

Fiona
“Sex was my superpower, and I knew when a man wanted me.”
Sex. Drugs. Addiction. Pain. All of these vices hold Fiona tight so she doesn't have to think or feel. A euphoric blanket covering up all the truths she’s smart enough to admit to herself. One she’ll soon be forced to toss forever. This book sinks you deep down into her soul, wrapping us vividly around her life and how she lives it. She's rich. Impulsive. And no matter how frayed and unraveled she feels, she finds freedom in Deacon, a Master who knots her up.

Elliot
“I feel closer to God when I’m with you, and that has meaning to me.”
Nothing gets me hotter than reading about a stricken man. Use was my favorite section, unlocking the angst in Elliot’s life, and how meeting Fiona changed it forever. The character development is exceptional, and I loved reading about all the forbidden lust building up inside him. But I also loved his loyalty and restraint to both his girlfriend and God. And how there was always passion and emotion in every one of his decisions.

“We break down and rebuild ourselves every seven to ten years.”
Every sentence in this book is beautiful, bringing mood and color and atmosphere to life. Or death, depending on the scene. It’s poetic and brutally honest, with too many thought provoking quotes to list. The characters don’t always make the right decisions, and things don’t always work out sunny and bright. But in the end, revenge was totally owned. And love was finally found. As an aspiring author, reading this series solidified the type of writer I want to become, and the types of stories I’d like to tell. And as a woman reaching the second half of my life, it made me think about what I want to do with the rest of it.
