Wild, Wet and Wicked in Whispering Cove

Erotica Romance

This was an entertaining collection of short story eroticas. They did have more of a feel of contemporary romance, but I think it's the perfect summer light reading with a kick. All three stories are, in a way, about lovers reunited. Three old irish men set up to marry off their grandkids by playing on their guilt and bringing them all back to Whispering Cove, the small town they all fled like the plague ten years ago.



Wild

3 Feathers

This was my least favorite story of the three. Andie was dating her high school sweetheart Brody but a tragic boat accident killed both her parents, and that ran her out of town and has traumatized her for all future relationships. Now, a lawyer in LA, she is forced to come back to Whispering Cove because her grandfather is ill. Except when she gets back to town she falls right back into his arms. And now he's the Sheriff. Sheriff Brody never understood why she left him, but he is determined to get her back, and get her to stay in Whispering Cove.

Her reasons for staying away, even though a bit of a stretch in mu opinion, were valid. And all of a sudden they EASILY disappeared. Too easy in my opinion. Were they hot? Yes. Did I like Brody? Yes. I didn't really care for Andie though!

Wet

3.5 Feathers

Katy did not want to stay stuck in Whispering Cove.....And being with Trent would've. He wanted to have a family with her, and stay in the small town. She needed to see the world. So she left ten years ago to become a chef, left her parents to run the town diner by themselves, and left the love of her life. Now as famous TV chef personality, she comes back because her grandfather says her parents business is struggling financially and they are too proud to ask for help. So, since her show is on hiatus, she goes back to help for the summer. And maybe, just maybe, get Trent back. She's not convinced city life is all that's cracked up to be and can see why she would be happy back in Whispering Cove with Trent. Trent now being a sexy firefighter, who won't survive losing her again, but just can't stay away from her.

The romance in this story was nice, the development of the events was entertaining, with just a bit of mystery. And these two were pretty hot together!

Wicked

by Nikki Duncan
3.5 Feathers

We see small glimpses of Dr. Dani through the other two stories, and now we get her story. She was the geeky girl, and had a crush on Braydon Mitchell. She used to spy on him from her house (yeah, stalker much). But Braydon left town 10 years ago, to basically live on his boat, travel around, and write about sports! He is not the settling down type of guy. But it's time for him to come back to town for their 10 year high school reunion. He is excited to see his friends! But his grandpa manages to bring Danica to the dock to welcome him with the excuse of his health, and Braydon is smitten at first look. Of course it takes him a little while to realize who she was, and to remember she used to kinda stalk him. And he now plans on having all of her while he's in town.

I almost want to say these two were the hottest ones in the book. She is not so shy anymore, especially after he gives her 3 or 4 orgasms in one afternoon alone. But she can't keep seeing him or her heart will never recover. What I didn't like about this is that there's too much 'I love you's and 'Marry me's after seeing each other for a few days.

This book is the compilation of 3 previously released short stories. so I will review them individually.

All Tied Up

Pleasure Inn # 1
Find it on GoodReads!

This is the first book in the Pleasure Inn series. The premises of the series are basically three best friends who haven't had the best of luck with men and have decided to stay away from them!! Enter the Goddess of Passion to the rescue! She has decided to take it upon herself to help them find happiness... and sexual bliss! ;)

All Tied Up is the story of Lindsay. She is an interior designer and has been hired by, yes, mystery client/Goddess of Passion, to design the perfect BDSM room. Except to complete her special fantasy room a wall has a to come down... Ahhhh... we need the services of a sexy, hunky handyman! Meet Brad. He is miles away from all the men Lindsay is used to dating and attracting, but is she up for the challenge?

This was a fun, short, sexy, hot, kinky. I definitely enjoy this author's writing style! Yes, it's erotica, but Ms. Fox does it well! I mean, really, who can resist a drop-dead gorgeous guy in a tool belt who is good with his hands... and a paddle?

The romance aspect was good enough, although I probably would've rather seen it being more realistic without all the I Love You's at the end. It's hard to develop a good solid romance storyline in a short story like this. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable quick read and I'm looking forward to see what happens with her friends!

All Worked Up

Pleasure Inn # 2

The work of the Goddess Pamina is not finished in Mason Creek. Candace Steel has sworn off men because, as the daughter of a famous Hollywood movie producer, she seems to only attract aspiring actors or industry people that just want to use her as a stepping stone to get in her fathers good graces and further their careers.

She is now assigned to design one of the fantasy themed rooms at the Pleasure Inn, and she's decided to make it a GO-ALL-NIGHT kind of, athletic room. With a tantra chair, a sex swing and a stripper pole by the window! It just makes it hard to concentrate on her design when she keeps drooling over the paint stripper. And I mean that's what he was hired to do, strip paint, of course she wouldn't mind if he stripped other things. The man is gorgeous! And more than willing to offer to extend his services to furniture building for her, which means they could spend more time together.

Marc Collins is lying to her though. He actually works for her father as security, and was sent to Mason Creek to keep an eye on her and protect her after her father started receivng threating letters. He really shouldn't be walking around like a teenage boy wanting to get in her pants. He should keep a professional distance. But it's very hard to do when she's so openly flirting. And maybe he just can't resist her.

You might need a change of panties with this one, just saying! I loved the scene with him in the van going over his security videos, touching himself and then she knocks on the door. LOL And of course a very timely help by Abra, the fat cat!

This was a very sexy little short story. Of course, again, as with the first one, I wasn't convinced or ready for the I Love You's at the end of it. They hadn't really even known each other that long. But I'm on to the last one!

All Lit Up

Pleasure Inn # 3
Find it on GoodReads!

This was the last of the friends to get some magical help from the Goddess of Passion. But it was my favorite story of the three. A story of a childhood crush, Anna had a crush on Daniel, her next door neighbor, high school football star, and all around hot guy in town. But she thought Daniel only wanted to get in her pants and move on, which ruined her conceptions of Prince Charming ever knocking on her door. And when he left town years ago she thought she'd never have to deal with him again!

She was not expecting to see him in tight jeans and a toolbelt ready to help her lay some bricks around the bathtub she's designing for her special fantasy room. A romantic at heart, she's designing a sinfully intimate fantasy room, with a bathtub, fireplace, etc.

Daniel finally decided to come back to Mason Creek, leave his great career in the city, and get the girl next door. He's been in love with Anna since they were teenagers, and even though you could say he was a bit of a jock, he always turned into a babbling idiot next to her. Until she stopped talking to him before her sweet sixteen. And after getting the cold shoulder from her for a few years, which had ripped his heart out, he had run away.

But he would run away no longer. After a crash course in masonry by his brothers, he wanted to show Anna he was the man for her.

This story was so much better in romance build up, for a short story of course it helps that they have such history.

And I loved how we get a bit of closure from Pamina's side, when she finally lifts the curse a turns Abra into a hunky human again, and he gets to have his wicked way with the Goddess. He's learned his lesson and won't be looking at other girls again!

I'll take just a second to explain that Wicked Reads is not a series, is merely a collection of short stories by the Wicked Writers.  The order is just based on publication date.  We will be bringing you reviews for some of the other stories in this series throughout the month.  And now.... my thoughts on this one.

Wow! Some girls just get all the luck! Lauren has been dating Adam for 18 months. He is the perfect guy in almost every way, their sexual chemistry is amazing, and she really has nothing to complain about. Well, except for the fact that he's a doctor and is away all week and she only gets to see him on the weekends. Could that be enough for her?

Except Adam has other plans for her. She hasn't met his brother Garreth yet, but Garreth knows all about her. Adam is in love with her, she is the one, he wants to keep her. But he also wants to share her. And not just for one night. But what would be the best way to ask her to be in a relationship with both? That they can both love her and please her?

Short, incredibly hot and sexy, with some extremely hot and sexy guys that are so different from each other but can love her in two completely different ways, and together fulfill all her desires. 

Interview and Giveaway with Cathryn Fox!

Hello maidens!!!!!  Today we so excited to be chatting with one of the Wicked Writers!  Whether she's writing contemporary erotic, paranormal erotic, or just plain steamy scenes, you don't want to miss reading them!  Make sure you come back to our blog to read our Cathryn Fox reviews going up in the next 2 days!  And if you haven't picked up one of her books yet, what are you waiting for?  Be sure to check out her website here. 

UTC: We are very excited to have you with us today and thank you so much for participating in our Burning Up July event!!  When did you first realize you wanted to write, and how did you get started?

It was about twenty years ago, while living in a town with a population of 800, that I first tried my hand at writing. I wasn’t one of those people who knew since childhood that they wanted to write. I did, however, like to make up elaborate stories to tell my friends. While they all used to call me a big fat liar, I believe I was just honing my skills. <G>

UTC: What is it about erotica romance that appeals to you? 

I love to watch a woman blossom and embrace her sexuality without guilt or embarrassment.

UTC: Your erotica covers a wide variety of stories, paranormal, and more. What is your favorite type of story to write and why? 

I’d have to say paranormal because of the freedom in making up worlds, but I do love a good old contemporary story as well, especially ones where couples are reunited.

UTC: Who would you say is your all-time favourite character? It can be your characters or another author's and why. 

Oh, that is such a tough one because I fall in love with ever character I write as well as every character I read. So having said that, right now my favourite character is Cole Landon, from the story I’m working on now, Bad Girl Therapy which is the third book in Boys of Beachville Series from Samhain.

UTC: Wild, Wet & Wicked in Whispering Cove just released June 7. Are there plans for another collaboration of the Wicked Writers anytime soon?

Oooh, we LOVE these stories so much and had such a wonderful time collaborating and writing them. I know I would LOVE to do another series with these talented ladies who were so much fun to work with. I definitely think they’d be on board too, so stay tuned for more!

UTC: You write novels as Taylor Keating as well. What is the main difference between your two pen names? Do you prefer writing with one pen name over the other? 

Cathryn Fox is erotica romance, Taylor Keating is Paranormal romance. It’s sensuous romance but not erotic. Not only do I co-write Taylor Keating books, I didn’t want my Cathryn Fox readers to pick up Game Over, Mind Games, or the third book which is coming next April, and be disappointed because they were expecting something else.

UTC: What can you tell us about your upcoming book Good at Being Bad? 

Love this story! This is the first book in the Boys of Beachville series. These are fun, sexy stories about three men, Mr. July, Mr August and Mr. September, who are all posing for the charity calendar. Wait to you see what kind of trouble they get themselves in to, especially when the meet their matches.

UTC: Time for the fun questions! Complete this sentence: One fun thing about me that people might not know is...

I never say no to a chocolate brownie. LOL

UTC: What is your greatest weakness (chocolate, shoes, etc?)
 
Salty potato chips!

UTC: Thank you so much for stopping by today and for offering our readers an opportunity to win a wonderful book!

In Fox's titillating new series we enter Serene, a supernatural playground where sexy shape shifters live behind the white picket fences...

Free spirited Jaclyn Vasenty is about to inherit a cosmetics empire, yet her scandalous personal history may ruin her chance for a corporate take-over. Saying goodbye to her naughty ways, she moves into a quaint gated community in Serene, New Hampshire. But these gates are locked at sunset...

The town's dark sensuality rocks Jaclyn's insatiable appetite to the core-and stirs desires that are... inhuman. That's because Serene is home to demons, witches, vampires, lycans, and panthers, for whom primal exploration comes naturally. Especially for shape shifter Slyck, the cunning panther who's pushing Jaclyn to the brink of erotic possibilities and making her feel wildly...feral. As tension between species rises, Jaclyn learns she must draw on all her feminine wiles and join forces with Slyck if she wants to make it out alive.

Review: Instinctive by Cathryn Fox

Instinctive

by Cathryn Fox

(Eternal Pleasure # 1)

Paranormal Erotica

Find it on GoodReads!

Instinctive is definitely a job well done by Ms. Fox.  Having read other books by her and being used to her contemporary erotica I have to say I liked her paranormal better!

Let me give you a warning for when you pick this up and start reading it.  This book start off with a bang, and I mean that in the most literal way possible!  I was a bit shocked about finding our heroine in a sex club basically having a threesome in front a a lot of the club goers.  But having prepared you for the opening scene... IT WAS HAWT!

Now onto the paranormal elements of this story.  I liked it, it was original.  I don't think I've read before about panther shifters who, like any good cat, have nine lives.  And I loved the idea of the supernatural town of Serene.  They pretend to be a normal town but actually everyone that lives there is some sort of supernatural creature, and there's a town council that regulates and enforces their law.

Enter Jaclyn, our heroine.  She was adopted by a very rich couple, owners of a cosmetics company, that gave her everything she could ever want.  And she has only given back headaches with all the bad press and media attention she's drawn to herself with her out of control sex drive and preferences.

She decides that she can change people's perspective of her by turning into a bit of a prude and proving herself useful for the company by going to the small town of Serene to increase their sales, and by showing a goody two-shoes lifestyle to show her parents she has changed.

She couldn't expect to find the ultimate temptation in this small town.  Slyck.  And yeah, the name had me laughing until I realized he was just too hot to laugh at.  Slyck is a panther shifter, the alpha of the pack, and representative of the panthers in the town's council.  He is immediately attracted to Jaclyn but has to keep his distance until the council decides what to do about the human intruding in their territory.  But he can't seem to stay away.  Of course it doesn't help when he lives across the street from her rental and can see her through her windows.

Slyck soon realizes that Jaclyn is his mate... AND a shifter! Now all he has to do is figure out a way to keep the council from finding out about them, about her being a panther and just get her safely out of town, out of the council's reach.  And out of the reach of Slyck's all time enemy Vall, the werewolf alpha.

This book covers all angles you could possibly want:  voyeurs, threesomes, phone sex, kitchen sex, desk sex.  Slyck is a panther of many talents!

I am looking forward to reading the next one in this series!
