Review: The Seduction Hypothesis (The Science of Temptation #2) by Delphine Dryden

(1 Curious Sub + 1 Dom in Denial) – Inhibitions = 4 Naughty Nights

Wildlife biologist Lindsey thought attending a fan convention with her new boyfriend Ben was a great idea—until their relationship fizzled. Lindsey still lusts after her ex—but if he wants her, he’s going to have to prove it.

Ben will do anything to win Lindsey back, and when he sees her in her skimpy black vinyl convention get-up, he realizes what she’s been craving all along. And he is inspired to finally give in to his own dark desire to take complete sexual control…

Lindsey is surprised by her reaction to Ben’s kinky new seduction techniques, and suddenly sees the brilliant but uptight code guru in a different light. After several erotic encounters in hotel rooms and stairwells, she’s falling for Ben all over again. And wondering if the intimate connection will last once they head home…

Ben wants Lindsey back, he knows he screwed up when he broke up with her, but he isn’t exactly sure how to get her back at first.  That is, until he see her in her costume as one of the characters in her favorite new comic, one that’s based on BDSM.  Ben at first doesn’t think he is ever going to be into spanking or taking control of Lindsey, or he doesn’t think that until he actually tries it and loves it. 

Lindsey is curious about the BDSM lifestyle and even tried to get Ben to experiment with her when they dated but his reaction back then made it clear to her that he wasn’t into it.  When Ben shows his Dominate side to Lindsey she can’t help but want him and bad.  Sex between them was always good, add some spanking and some restraints and it is out of this world!  She is worried that once they return home, things will end again between her and Ben, or will they finally get back together?

I am falling in love with this series.  I have said it before and I will say it again, but I never knew a bunch of geeky guys can be so damn hot and sexy!   The sex scenes are smoking hot.  This book is funny too.  I loved seeing that Ivan and Cami, from the first book The Theory of Attraction, were a part of this book as well.  I can not wait to see what else is in store for this sexy bunch of geeks in the future.  Fans of the TV show The Big Bang Theory, will love this series!

Review: Training Their Mate by Vella Day

 

Liz was on a personal mission to kill the man who tormented and raped her mother over and over again throughout the years.  What Liz didn’t know about the man was that he was a werewolf and that he can’t just be killed.  When she is attacked and is rescued by the hot and sexy Trax she doesn’t know that there is more to the intense sexual heat she feels every time they get close.  Add in Dante, Trax’s brother, and the heat turns into a raging inferno.  Liz is unaware that Trax and Dante are werewolves as well, but they are the good guys and that she is their mate.  When she finds out how will she react, will she accept the two men that she has quickly fallen in love with, or will she turn her back and walk away? 

Training Their Mate is the first book in the Pack Wars series.  I am a huge fan of paranormal books, especially shifter books and I feel that this was a good start to the series.  The sex scenes are smoking hot, especially when Trax and Dante take Liz into their play room.  Trax is the Dom, while Dante is more laid back but still likes some control.  I loved Dante’s character as well as Trax’s need for everything to be controlled.  Liz, at first I wasn’t so sure of, but she warmed up to me the more I read. 

This is pretty short, longer than a Novella but shorter than a true Novel.  I would love to see the future books in this series expanded a little more so that we can get more from these hot as hell wolves.  I am curious to see how this series will play out and want to read more in the future.

Review: Breaking Skye by Eden Bradley

Breaking Skye is a lovely story about Skye and Adam. Skye has these urges, these submissive urges. She seeks out a Dom to help her purge herself of these urges. She feels like once she tries a little BDSM, she’ll no longer have these urges or desires. It’s all an experiment.

After placing an ad and meeting Adam, Skye heads over to Adam’s house for her session. Skye, of course, follows all safety protocols. She checked his background and let someone know where she was going.

The session between Skye and Adam was hot! I little spanking, a little (big) orgasm (or two or….) and some after care. No sex though, because Adam doesn’t have sex with those he’s training. Cardinal rule for him!

Even though this was a really short story, I got quite a bit out of it. The character development was not as deep as it is in longer books, but I got enough that I was able to connect with Skye and Adam.

Skye is a pretty normal girl. She’s adventurous and wants to explore. Adam is a conundrum. I don’t want to say too much as I don’t want to give it away. But it did leave me going “HUH?” He was not quite what I expected and it was a lovely surprise!

The scenes between Skye and Adam were hot and I loved them. Their connection was instant (almost insta-love) and intense. Eden Bradley managed to cover quite a bit of ground in this short story.

I really have a love/hate relationship with this story. I loved it. It was quick, it was hot, and very enjoyable. I hate it because it was so short. I wanted to explore Skye and Adam’s relationship. I wanted a bit more from them in terms of sessions and playing and sex and romance.
