Those who unlock your compassion are those to whom you've been assigned.” ― Mike Murdock Casey K. Cox’s FREE short story, Be My Boy, isn’t at all what I was expecting it would be. For one thing, with the Master/Slave dynamic as the entire premise of the book, I was expecting quite a lot of... Continue Reading →
Let me tell you, being a creeper on the internet sure can pay off sometimes! I just got the lowdown on a couple of FREEBIES and thought I'd hurry up and share. Available for a limited time--possibly for a very limited time--T.A. Chase's Pestilence (The Four Horsemen, Book One) can be downloaded one-hundred-percent free. Have... Continue Reading →
Seduce my mind and you can have my body. Find my soul and I'm yours forever. – Unknown It’s official. I’ve discovered my favorite Ava March series. I guess I should qualify that with “so far”, though, since I haven’t had the chance to read everything she’s written. Yet. Bound by Deception, Bound to Him,... Continue Reading →
When we are in love we often doubt that which we most believe. ~ François de la Rochefoucauld Did you pick up these two books when Ava March was offering them for $.99 apiece at Amazon? If not, I can honestly say I wouldn’t have been at all upset if I’d paid full price for... Continue Reading →
“I love him to hell and back and heaven and back…” – Sylvia Plath Oscar’s father sold his first born’s soul to Hell in exchange for unlimited worldly success, which shows a spectacularly selfish and covetous bent on his father’s part; either that or a singularly limited sense of foresight and consequences. Probably all of... Continue Reading →

”Tis one thing to be tempted…another thing to fall.” - William Shakespeare - Measure for Measure (Act II, Scene I) Lead Us Not is a scary-tale. No, not in a things-that-go-bump-in-the-night kind of way, but in a life-seems-to-change-overnight kind of way. You meet the man of your dreams, fall in love, move to New York... Continue Reading →

Reading An Oral Fixation made me wonder what Dr. Freud would’ve thought about it. He’d have likely come to the diagnosis that Cooper Bradshaw had suffered from some sort of neglect or trauma during the oral stage of his development which has now caused him to be a little bit obsessed with getting the taste...

Sometimes a book sneaks up on me. I’ll be reading along, things will be going well, maybe I’m feeling happy with the way the story is progressing; it’s flowing a bit slowly and that works because the pace fits the somber mood of the story that’s being told. Then suddenly there’s that “lightbulb moment,” the... Continue Reading →

Funny how life can be so full yet so empty, how a life can be crowded with sycophants and drugs and parties and random one-offs but can be entirely devoid of anything that might make you feel like you’ve experienced anything close to a human connection. Nick Ventura has it all—fame, fortune, fast cars and... Continue Reading →

I happened across Suite Nineteen as a free read on All Romance Ebooks, and maybe that should’ve set off some alarm bells for me. To begin with, I very rarely find full length novels given away as freebies, and even more rarely have I been lucky enough to find a free novel that’s been great.... Continue Reading →

Remember the scene in Pulp Fiction when Mia snorts just one too many lines of blow and goes into cardiac arrest? (Yes, that was gross. Blech.)
