Review: Two Hot by Delilah Devlin

Author: Delilah Devlin

Publisher: Delilah Devlin

Release Date: March 2012
Book Genre: Contemporary Romance, Erotic Romance, Ménage or more

Let me just say that this book was titled aptly. TWO HOT was definitely "Too Hot". I loved it. I have read Delilah Devlin's books before and I have to tell you she never disappoints. No matter what she is writing about, who she is writing about and how many are involved (ménage) in what she is writing about, the characters are always well thought out, sexy as hell, funny, and real.

The heroine in this book had the best of both worlds in the two heroes. But Alpha yet slightly different that they complemented one another and the heroine without overshadowing each other. The heat sizzled from the pages and I could not stop reading it until I was done. Nineteen pages of pure sexy bliss. Three neighbors who are friends and take it to the next level.

It's an erotic tale of how neighbors can take advantage of a power outage and even in nineteen short pages, there was so much sizzle I had to look up from reading it to take a few deep breaths. Robert, Emily and Jason's relation worked for me. They were believable and fun as a ménage. Nothing seemed forced or rushed seeing as the characters already knew one another.

TWO HOT was like being wrapped up with your significant other in front of a roaring fire with your favorite wine. Sweet, cuddly and playful fun that turns into heated scenes that keep you wanting more and more.

Ms. Delilah, I loved this...keep bringing on the heat and I will definitely be there to read.

Review: Online Menage by Sara Kingston

ONLINE MENAGE is definitely a keeper. First book by this author and it won't be my last. If you're into ménage that packs a lot of heat, tension and fun, this one is for you. I liked that the characters all had a connection from the beginning that they didn't know about. The male interaction was tastefully done and very exciting. I wanted to see if by inserting the female into the dynamics, the story would still run as smoothly and I was not disappointed. Sure there were some problems with jealousy but that would only be realistic. In order for the relationships to be real they would have to have some issues with another person or persons being inserted in the relationship.

What caught my attention first is the word "online", then of course "ménage" pulled me in. With the way society is now, everything is done on our smart phones and our computers. I love seeing a relationship or relationships that blossom over the net. It was believable that feelings for someone could develop over a period of time this way, and the author made it work. You know that there will be a happily ever after but it is how the author gets you there that makes it fun. The sexual tension, the need and the desire make for some really hot scenes. Wonderfully written sexual scenes that are written well so that one can actually see them. I loved how the men managed to go not only from a couple with each other, but brought Alex into their circle to become part of a triad that really worked.

Alexis, Ryan and Tyler made this story work for me and I wanted more. I will be looking for more from this author for sure. Five stars, a must read!

This is the second book that I have read by this author and she continues to surprise and please me. I loved this book. The characters were well thought out and their getting together was very realistic.

The interaction between the men, Paxton and Nicholas is hot. They are a couple and married to one another. They know that they want to be together forever. Though Nicholas can sense that Paxton is holding back the need to be with a woman. So why not give Paxton the ultimate gift for his birthday? A woman.

What Nicholas doesn't count on is that it will be an old friend from Paxton's life who will slowly infiltrate their tight bond and fill that role. Enter Jodi. Who has issues of her own and her one main issue is the love she has had for Paxton. Nicholas knows Paxton is Bi. What Nicholas realizes he has to come to terms with is his own feelings about Jodi.

This is a sexy MMF polyamory menage that is a must read! I could not put it down, did not want to put it down and was sad when I was done. It would definitely be a plus if there is a sequel to this. Would love to see what happens later on in the lives of Paxton, Nicholas and Jodi. So how about it Alyssa Turner?

Blurb:

An erotic novel set in steamy, corporate Miami where emails send temperatures soaring.

Tina thinks she’s found her perfect match; a mirror of her black upper-middleclass background. But when heartbreak wears the polish off of his shining armor, it’s time to discover what she’s been missing.

Latin beauty Noemi works hard and plays rough, finding pleasure in bringing men to their knees. How long can she remain on top? That depends on who’s asking. Pamela has it all, but it’s not what you have, it’s how you get it, and she doesn’t like things to come easy. When she stumbles across a suitable challenge, she might finally be in over her flaming red head.

Satisfaction. Every woman wants it, but when too much of a good thing is more than they can handle, these three women find themselves in uncharted territory, testing the limits of their deepest desires. It's Jimmy's game and rules are not his concern. He’ll bring them to the edge of passion where seduction is a unique indulgence that respects no boundaries.

Review:

SEND was most excellent. It had me guessing all the while I was reading it. What an exciting read! Thank you, Alyssa Turner, for something that was so different in its approach to romance! First of all, there are three heroines and basically three heroes. No, it's not a ménage per se, but it takes a look at three women and their relationships with men and one man in particular is in the midst of it all.


I have to admit. When I first started reading this, my romance spirit was ruffled and sort of not wanting to like this book. But I don't give up. I promised the authors and review sites as well as myself that even if I don't like something, I will continue to read it. First of all because as a reviewer I think we should give our all to what we are reading so we can give our true opinion. Secondly because I have been entrusted with someone's creativity and to not read it to me is just not right.


So, again when first reading it, I was at the point that I wondered where it was going and thinking I would not like it. But Alyssa Turner showed through her creative mind and nontraditional look at romance that the love someone has for another can still shine through, right along with a person being able to reach a happily ever after or a happy for now kind of relationship without all the usual trappings.


Like I said there were three heroines that evolved around one male by the name of Jimmy.


Jimmy. Jimmy, wow, how interesting and sexy was Jimmy. He knew what he wanted and he played the game well. The thing I like about him is he interacts with each of the heroines and each of them has a thing for him. I seriously got so wrapped up in his character I began to wonder and second-guess what he was going to do next. He was full of surprises. Though I thought he was sexy and irresistible, I didn't want to love him or fall for him like the heroines all seemed to be doing. He didn't fit the neat little package of romance I was used to. But I fell for him anyways.


Tina is an African American professional who works with Jimmy and is friends with him. I didn't want to like her either. She was full of games just like Jimmy. But she grew on me and in the end I was rooting for her to be happy and to get all that she desired out of life and that included Jimmy. Now, I do have to say Ms. Tina did a very shocking thing early on in the book that made me not want to like her while she was doing it, but like she was under the spell of Jimmy, I was under the spell of some excellent writing that brought me back around.


Noemi is a Latina who by day is an exceptional nurse and also a caretaker of her brother and a waitress by night at a very interesting club. Not well off, she has to work two jobs to support herself, her mother and her brother. She was such an odd mixture of Alpha like female and sweetness. Noemi as well is enraptured with Jimmy. It is amazing the pull that one character had on them all. What Jimmy asked, Noemi did. No matter what it was and she truly got entangled in his games. Even though part of her disliked what she felt about him or the situation she found herself in because of him, she still would do it and find some pleasure in it.


Pamela is a Caucasian who is rich and sophisticated and basically a bitch to most. It was amazing to watch her interact with Jimmy and not get what she wanted or what she was used to getting. I liked that she thought she knew what she wanted. Though in fact she truly didn't come to realize what that was until Jimmy showed her. 


Three women distinctly different yet at the same time alike. Wanting the same man. Jimmy. The author wove the three characters' stories together so well that you will find it explosive in what happens in the end. I will not divulge information on the other heroes, as I think in doing so I will give away the book and its ending. 


I am telling you that it is a must read! Unconventional, Sexy, Erotic, Fun, Hot, Steamy and even endearing. I loved this book and I recommend it to anyone who still believes in love and happy endings.


Five stars...just fabulous!

Putting into motion their plan to have the fiery beauty belong to them, they invite Lexie for a week on the ranch. With her unbridled curiosity for sex, the only question is just what will it take to convince her to stay and trust them not to break her heart?

A Siren Erotic Romance

Review:

Interracial cowboy ménage at its finest. Delilah Hunt never ceases to amaze me with her hot sex scenes, feisty heroines and dead sexy heroes. I dub her Queen of Interracial Ménage. I absolutely loved the Kincaid studs and Alexa Grey. I think that Delilah Hunt's fantasy of three brothers and one woman had a hint of realism in it. Why do I say that, you ask? First of all, the brothers had never thought of sharing a woman before. Had never had to share a woman before. So Alexa coming into their lives and all three brothers wanting her, they were man enough to realize that they had to share her. Doesn't mean that they are used to sharing and that it would always be easy for them. Which to me is a real emotion and really realistic. The brothers had to have some insecurities as did Alexa, or it wouldn't have been realistic. The brothers are bound to need reassurance that she wouldn't pick one over the other and Alexa should also be a little unsure as to whether they would stay with her or leave when and if they tired of her. Realistic. Logan, Connor and Owen Kincaid are three sexy cowboys who fall for one very lucky female. All three males are Alphas but the way they handle themselves and Alexa is different and refreshing. It's not like they are all the same carbon copy and repeating and doing the same thing the other one would do. You get three totally distinct males who happen to love and want the same woman. So what better way to keep the peace because you love your brothers who happen to love the same woman, than to share her and love her equally? And ooh la la, was she shared equally. Sexy, sweet and hot sexual escapades kept me wanting more. Smoking sexual talk and acts kept my eyes peeled to the pages. Don't get me wrong. This book, though chocked full with erotic scenes, wasn't all about that alone. It was filled with secondary conflicts and secondary characters that added to the issues the four characters faced. It made me laugh, and it made sit on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. I was so invested in the characters. I wanted them to all be happy together and Delilah Hunt did not disappoint me. Once again she has proven to me that her books are keepers. I didn't want to put it down and believe me, you won't want to either. Overall impression? Impressed and wanting more! Five stars for sexy cowboys, hot sex scenes and a great love story.

Her Texas Billionaire Oil Men

Rating:  Lovely Rose (rating system at Romancing the book)

Blurb: Rugged Texas billionaire oilmen Jake McKenna and Brody Quinn head off into the mountains of Montana for a well-deserved month-long vacation. There's plenty of good hunting and fishing around the isolated ranch house to keep them occupied. Things heat up when they decide it's far more exciting to hunt their beautiful personal assistant, Taylor Matthews, instead. Brody and Jake are Alpha males and very demanding. Still hurting from a recent break up with a long-term boyfriend, Taylor has no intention of making it easy for the temptingly rich and very attractive oil barons. But what's a girl to do? Just fantasize about the two gorgeous guys she works for? Or enjoy all they have to offer?

Review:

I absolutely loved this book. It was one that I could not put down. Let me say that Kayla Knight definitely put some raw heat into this book of hers. The characters are truly lovable and each dealing with issues of their own. Jake and Brody are best friends. Friends who have shared a lot since meeting twenty years ago. That list would include having shared women.


Now Jake is the playboy who will never see himself in love or wanting just one women ever. While Brody has been in love and lost his wife to cancer a year prior. This where the fun starts. Jake wants Brody to snap out of the funk he is in and proposes they take a month vacation. In order for that vacation to happen, they have to find someone who can come with them for that month as their
assistant.


Enter Taylor Matthews. At first glance she seems like an unlikely choice for what Jake has in mind to happen while out on the trip. She has just gotten out of a terrible relationship and dresses mousy. Not someone with whom you would think would be with two billionaires like Jake and Brody. But actually that is the beauty of it. She appeals to them, even under all the mousy clothing and hideous glasses. I like that the men see her potential even through the facade that she cloaks herself in because of her past pain.


Jake, Taylor and Brody all find each other at the right time and are what each other needs to get through the issues that they have. The friendship between the two men are believable and support the fact that they can share a woman together and both love her and still be the best of friends. I liked that. I liked that Taylor brought out the best in both men and in turn her uniqueness was shown.


I came to care for each character and was able to fall in love with them and their story. It is erotic, sensual, spicy, fun, intense, believable story one that pulls you in with each page. I could not put it down, I had things I needed to get done, but every time I turned around I was reaching for this story. Loved it and I recommend it for other lovers of erotic romance with the taste of two cowboys and a sassy female heroine. Also might I add that the suspense though I sort of suspected what might come about still was pleasantly done and the plot very satisfying with a satisfying ending. I will be looking for more from this author.

Favorite Quote: "These guys had been together for so long they'd become intuitive to one another. Now that seemed sexy as hell, and just a little bit dangerous. "Double the trouble" came to mind."

Blurb:  One for remembrance…one for healing…and one to seal her heart forever.

Lone Star Lovers, Book 4

Chrissi Page has tried to find one man who heats her bed the way the Kinzie brothers did one shameful night years ago. She's failed miserably, leaving her with no choice but to bank that inner fire—and keep a lid on her inner bad girl.

She'd been weak, unable to choose between three men who appealed to her in different ways. And when they'd confronted her as a tease, anger had boiled over into a passion so wild, she's still trying to live it down.

Since that night, Ezra, Cade and Joshua have individually sown their wild oats with pretty much the entire available female population of Two Mule, Texas. Yet nothing erases the attraction they still feel for Chrissi. And when she ends up stranded on the road near their ranch, it's their last chance to turn their mutual obsession into an unusual proposition.

One weekend, three on one. If she can't stand the heat, they'll let her go on with her life. And try to find a way to live with the hole she'll leave behind in theirs.

Warning: A girl who thinks she can't have it all, and three brothers who set out to prove otherwise. One on one, two on one, and three on one; bondage in the wild; a bit of riding crop action. And a pickup truck load of emotion.

Review:

Who doesn't love a cowboy? Who says a woman can't have her cake and eat it too? Put into the mix three sexy brothers who happen to be cowboys and who are hot for one lucky female? You have a sexual, erotic masterpiece! Three times to be exact. Chrissi is one lucky girl to find what she needs in the form of Ezra, Cade and Joshua Kinzie. The chemistry between all of the characters is so palpable one feels like they can touch it. Hell, taste it. Hot and sizzling from the beginning, the book is not one that you readily put down for anything. You want to keep reading it until you're finished. The pace is fast so you don't get bored, in fact you only wish there was more to it, that the story would continue. Delilah Devlin has become one of my favorite authors in a short period of time. She breathes life into characters that you want to be and that you fall in love with. No matter that it is a ménage. That just means there are three sexy men to fall in love with. Each will have their own special place in your heart. This story gives you a taste of taboo and love all mixed together in the forms of the sexy as sin Kinzie brothers. After reading this I found myself wishing I was Chrissi and you will too. Five stars for cowboys, ménage and erotica! Review posted on: goodreads.com and

Blurb:  Kate has a special surprise for Jeremy's birthday/Christmas present, and her longtime friend Holly is just the person to help her deliver the gift.

This 7,000+ word novelette contains explicit depictions of sexual situations, and is intended for adults only.

Review:

This is my first book by Erica Sloane and I would have to say for a book as short as this is, I thoroughly enjoyed it and became invested in the characters.

Kate's husband Jeremy is a military man who is about to go on another tour in Iraq and with Christmas and his birthday right before he has to ship off, she wants to give him the best gift she could possibly give him.

I think the way it was done was rather sweet yet spicy. By the title you can tell that what she has chosen to give him is a Ménage à trois. Seriously what more could a man want than two hot females—one whom he loves and is graciously, selflessly giving him what every man dreams about (well, straight males that is).

It is a short read filled with f/f/m and f/m/f action and turns out to be one hot little read.

I give it 5 stars for eroticism, sweetness, sexiness and playfulness.

Blurb: She's a temptation he can't afford.

Ian Sinclair, the man with no heart, the ultimate Trojan, the untouchable, the unreachable, may just have met his match.

As wild as the untamed winds, as innocent as love itself, Courtney's vivacious spirit shines as brilliantly as the brightest star. And he wants nothing more in life than to see the sweet innocence that is so much a part of her survive. That can never happen if he allows her to be drawn into the wicked, sexual excesses of his life.

He's a hunger she can't deny.

Courtney Mattlaw has understood her destiny her whole life. Her lifetime of happiness hangs on this moment in time, and forcing a man who feels he is unable to love, to trust his heart.

Haunted. Filled with loneliness. Incomplete. Ian is the very breath of her soul. She knows the battle to steal his heart could ultimately destroy them both, but it s a risk she must take.

When these two come together, sparks fly and the lust simmering between them ignites in a conflagration that will burn them to their souls and leave them Shameless.

Review:

Again...she has done it. By she, I mean Lora Leigh. Each time I read one of her books from the Bound Heart Series, I think it can't get any better than the last one. And each time I have been wrong.

Lora Leigh has managed to weave a perfect fantasy that makes a woman really wish it was her reality.

I loved the characters in this book even better than the other books.

Ian Sinclair is the ultimate Alpha male who found his match in a woman who has loved him since she was a child. (Yes at first I was a bit iffy about that and yes, weirded out, but believe me, I got over that really quick). She is his temptation and he is her hunger.

Courtney makes you love her and love the fact that she loves Ian with all her heart unconditionally. She is a female who's even younger than the heroines in the last book(s), but she knew what she wanted and how she wanted. And she wanted Ian with a fierceness that jumped from the pages, pulled you in and made you cheer for her. Heck, it made you want to be her and in her place.

It was nice to see the women from the other books meet up in this one and conspire with one another to try and help Courtney with Ian. I loved it. I recommend this book to all who want a story filled with passion, innocence and love!

The hot love scenes are erotic and make you tremble! I just have to say I am hoping upon hope that she will also do a story for Prince Khalid. Oh my, my , my...I so want to see him in his own story. Sex appeal is at its highest in this book.

I most definitely will read this book again. It was wonderful. Now I must say the books in this series can be stand alone. But if you're like me, you will love to start at the beginning and go through each book to get the background...and believe me these books are rich in background.

I urge any and all who love menage, BDSM and D/s relationships to read this series. You won't be disappointed.

I give this book: 5 Stars.

5 stars for hotness, erotic content, passion, pain, love, need...all of it 5 stars
