Shhh We’re Reading Dirty Books

92 - Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh

Oh boy, guys! We haven’t read a Nalini Singh book in years and we are so excited to get back to another amazing story! Sascha Duncan is an emotionless Psy, supposedly, who works hard to keep her position in the Psy dominating society, while also trying to keep her ‘defect’ a secret. That is until she meets Lucas Hunter, alpha of the Changeling clan who is out on the hunt for a killer of several Changeling women. It has always been assumed that Psy do not possess the ability to have emotions, yet, he sees something in Sascha as they are brought together during a business deal. What starts off as dislike, turns to curiosity, lust, and then, yup, you guessed it… squishy, steamy, hot sex and a beautiful relationship between Sascha and Lucas. It is hard to forget a Nalini novel after a sexy one like this!

91 - Angel Rising by LaVerne Thompson

Samuel is an immortal hunter, offspring of a human mother and soulless father.  He has devoted his life to hunting down the soulless who harm and feed on humans.  That is, until he meets Thalya, a soulless woman with the power to capture his heart.  This is a true enemies to lovers story.  Once Thalya meets Samuel she realizes that what she thinks she knows about her and the other soulless is limited and inaccurate.  As the two work together to find out what is going on they are also drawn to each other in inexplicable ways.  Both try to fight their attraction and deny the feelings but there is more to their love than they can fight.  Can their love be an offer of redemption for the soulless?  The teasing scenes of intimacy that keep getting cut short really heighten the sexual tension for the readers as well as the characters. In the end, super unusual and interesting story, great character development, squishy sex scenes! This was a fun book!

90 - Vengeance Denied by Zoey Indiana

We return to the world of Bash and Freya after Freya has successfully brought down the sovereign and publicized the information about the aliens to everyone.  Unfortunately, this results in backlash when the aliens show up, kidnap all the humans, and return to their world with plans of forced procreation or slave labor.  As per usual with Freya and Bash, chaos ensues as different forces try to keep them apart.  Their relationship is tested over and over again but they hold true to each other.  This book is so action packed there isn’t much time for romance and sexy scenes.  Don’t worry, the few we get are quite intense and steamy!  While the book denies us the clean and easy ending we might want, there is more to come in this world and maybe a life without vengeance for Bash and Freya.

89 - A Shift in the Water by Patricia Eddy

This was an emotional read.  Mara is struggling with a lifelong mystery illness that she is losing the battle with.  Cade has lost his whole wolfpack, been kidnapped, tortured, and is on the verge of death.  When Mara finds Cade as a dying wolf it feels like her final act on earth will be to either ease his passing or nurse him back to health.  Luckily, this is a romance novel so we get the love story and both characters helping to heal the other’s trauma.  The feelings between Cade and Mara felt real and grew over time in a very natural way.  Since Cade is a wolf and mates for life we get extra hot sexy times when they finally succumb to their feelings and get dirty!  We loved this book and will definitely read the rest of the series.

87 - The Tea Shop by Bernadette Marie

This book is a really sweet paranormal romance.  When Abigail Weston and Carson Stone meet, neither of them are interested in a serious relationship but fate seems to have other plans.  Everything is strained by Abigail’s unusual ability to see the future when she touches another person.  The main characters are so well-written they seem like real people we already know.  Their struggles and fights really strike home as they try to navigate their deepening relationship.  This book is very different from ones we normally read but it felt like coming home to something soft and cozy.  And while we didn’t get the explicit sex scenes we typically like, the relationship was so strong it felt like we did.

86 - Fire Me Up by Katie MacAlister

Aisling Grey is back and she is trying to find a Guardian mentor in Budapest without the help or interference of Drake, her Wyvern Mate.  Things rapidly start getting complicated as she finds Drake and all the Dragon Wyverns in town for a peace conference and staying at her same hotel.  Despite all her protests to the contrary, Aisling ends up striking a deal with Drake to commit to him if he lets her pursue her calling as a Guardian.  A whole cast of characters show up, including dozens of incubi, ghosts, and a professional virgin.  And many of our favorites from the first book return.  Just like the first one, the sex is mind-blowing.  The main trouble being, we don’t really know Drake or his personality, and neither does Aisling.  Aside from how sexy he is I can’t think of a good reason Aisling would be in love with Drake.  The book is an action-packed, wild ride but we are left in the same conundrum at the end: Aisling has walked away from Drake a second time, how can their relationship survive?

85 - Vengeance Executed by Zoey Indiana

We return to the dystopian romance of Zoey Indiana’s Vengeance trilogy.  This book continues the love story of Bash and Freya while they try to bring down the government.  Their relationship goes through some serious trials in this book, both characters trying to protect and save the other but not always getting it right.  Bash’s super tech skills lead to a super fun twist when he develops an AI in his own head.  Can an AI experience love?  Who is to say, but it definitely seems like ERIC has developed a special attachment to Freya and adds some tension to their relationship.  The sex is hot, the relationship is anything but fated, and the twist at the end has us flummoxed as to what we will find in the third book!

84 - Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost

It has been 60 episodes but we have finally returned to the Night Huntress World by Jeannine Frost.  This book gives us the love story for Kira, a human private eye, and Mencheres, a 4,500 year old master vampire.  It is hard to match our love for Spade and Denise from First Drop of Crimson, but this book did not disappoint.  There was exciting action as Kira and Mencheres try to outsmart his life-long enemy.  But the best parts are the love scenes!  Jeannine pulls her typical trick of heightening the sexual tension between Kira and Mencheres by having their initial love scenes interrupted.  By the time they get to do the deed we are as needy as Kira and also don’t mind that it takes place in an equipment room under Magic Mountain.  You don’t want to miss the shower scene, as usual that one was Calina’s favorite.  Along with the sex, this is a story of forgiving your past so you can have a future.

83 - Her Viking Wolf by Theodora Taylor

We haven’t had great luck with Wolf Shifter books but this book redeemed the subgenre for us.  In the beginning, Chloe’s relationship with Rafe was hard to read about.  Rafe seemed like a class A jerk and I was scared she was going to marry him.  Then Fenris showed up, a time traveling viking with some truly ancient relationship beliefs.  At first it seemed like Fenris was going to be the same type of typical Alpha asshole we have met previously.  He didn’t listen to Chloe, the fated mate he traveled millennia into the future to find, and made some pretty big decisions on her behalf, like bringing her from present day to his Viking past.  But Fenris came around and made an effort to make Chloe feel at home in her new world.  As typical with wolf books, the sex was hot, dirty, and animalistic.  It was heightened by Chole finally finding her sex drive upon meeting Fenris.  Before Fenris, her makeout sessions with Rafe made her feel queasy and she just tried to endure them.  The idea of a modern day black woman being transported thru time to the land of vikings was fascinating to read and think about.  One thing was pretty odd for a wolf book, neither of the main characters ever shifted.  But in the end, Chole found the people and family she was meant to belong to and the love between them blossomed.
