During the holidays, I spent a whole day just relaxing with several novellas, a couple of which I now present to you ;o) Hot and bored? No more!
NAUGHTY LITTLE WISHES
What a
naughty little treasure! This delicious novella got me entertained with no
effort at all. A tough man with past traumas too rigid to let change free him
and an outrageously spontaneous woman who'll challenge him all the way to
happiness. I really liked how outspoken and unbendable Tab is, she never
wavers when she defends her stance, job or free style. And I loved how she
could maneuver Drew into opening up little by little.
It's not an
easy road, though. He's stuck in the past and it's consuming his present. The
injuries he carries with him are affecting all levels of his life. It was so
interesting to watch his struggled, the pain that made me ache for him. Even
though she doesn't want to fall for someone so vastly different from her, the loss and sacrifice he
has endured call to her and remind her of her own past.
I found both
characters endearing, their plight was moving. The story is full of lively
dialogues, steamy intimacy, true feelings and a battle of wills.
I felt there
was a good story there and it was both well written and developed. There were
several fun moments such as the business meeting when Drew is sent a few
arousing photos.
Of course,
every romance needs its share of drama, so Tab goes too far in her meddling
ways and she crosses boundaries that put her blossoming relationship in peril.
There was a scene full of tension because some delicate issues are tackled in
this novella. I liked it a lot. I love my romance to go through some drama
before the happy ending. I was a happy reader at the end.

BETTING ON FATE
Two dominant
natures clashing for power? It certainly was interesting to watch. Rivals for
contracts, Will and Penelope find themselves betting a week of submitting to
the winner. And it's her who has to wear his collar and submit to his erotic
games of power.
I must say it
was highly entertaining to witness these two proud characters tease each other,
find their limits. She challenges her temporary Dom for all her worth and, to
his surprise, he likes it. She's afraid to lose herself in the process while it
won't mean a thing to him.
While they
play out their seven days, there are scenes full of heat and bdsm games. They
challenge each other, push their boundaries and exchange fun verbal banter.
It's obvious they're afraid to let go and put their souls in someone else's
control. At the same time, they can't really stop doing it piece by piece.
When their
first emotional boundary is crossed, I loved the way she wants to stay with him
afterwards, but is afraid to ask, to go too far. Will is there to save both of
us (the character and the reader) and take us with him, surrounded by his
strong, comforting arms. It was perfect.
As things
progress, there is a scene at the club that broke the magic a little for me. I
understand where it came from. I'm not against threesomes in a story, but they
have to grow on me from the start, either be part of the romance or be there
before it begins. This one was there to prove the Master's command over his
sub. Great point in their relationship, for sure, but it's not my cup of tea
when a stranger walks into a couple's connection. It destroys the magic for me,
sorry. However, it was very well described and with taste. No complaints in the
passion department with this story and author. It's all really hot.
And I also
liked how troubling it is for them to fall in love because it might mean to
lose themselves, to fall into mistakes their parents had made before and risk
everything they've accomplished. I could relate to them as real people. In the
end, after a painful fight and an epiphany for both of them, the happy ending
is our reward. Good writing and an original story. Go ahead and read it!
