Shhh We’re Reading Dirty Books

67 - Haunted / Coveted by Christina C. Jones

Haunted

The title of this book is so apt.  The atmosphere around Khalida is eerie and the sense that she is being haunted is palpable.  As she tries to convince herself she is content in her life, Aram enters and shows her that she truly longs for so much more.  At first the path to understanding her true nature and history is hard but with Aram as a catalyst Khalida rediscovers her memories and what she has been missing. The scenes between Aram and Khalida could not be hotter!  The electricity jumps off the page and runs along your skin making everything tingle.  The whole book kept us engaged and guessing as to what was coming next.

Coveted

Four years after writing Haunted, Christina returns to the world to give us Khalida’s sister’s story.  We follow as mysterious things keep happening around Ancelin and lead to Nasir being assigned to protect her from the darkness.  This book is a good follow up to Haunted but suffers a bit from the twist not being as surprising.  Luckily, the sex is just as steamy!  The massage scene in particular was one of our favorites.  Don’t get too excited for a nice resolution, the book ends with so much more to be investigated and explained.  We look forward to revisiting this world when more books come, hopefully it's not another four years!

66 - Beauty and the Professor by Skye Warren

We were excited to take a break from our paranormal books and enjoy a contemporary romance novel.  This book gave us everything we were hoping for.  Much to our delight, it even kicks off with a little masturbation and voyeurism, our favorite.  From there builds the scorching relationship between Erin and Blake that goes from questionable when he is employing her as his housekeeper to downright inappropriate when he becomes her professor.  But they can’t put the brakes on a relationship both have been needing for so long!  The sex scenes are so hot you’ll need a break to cool down.  It was nice to put aside the fate of the world storylines from our paranormal books and read about two people finding each other and falling in love in this crazy world.  This book shows you why we are hot for teachers!

65 - Vigilante by Lawrence Hall

When Lieutenant Detective Ashlyn runs into the town Vigilante at a bank robbery turned hostage situation the attraction she feels is palpable.  And the sexual tension between Ashlyn and Cain continues to build throughout this book, giving us all kinds of squishy feelings.  Imbued with super powers following a chemical accident, Cain seeks to make this city a better place and keep an eye on Ashlyn as she makes her way through the dangerous waters of being a police detective.  This book is another unique one for us with the world of enhanced humans giving us super good guys and bad guys alike.  The story moves quickly and keeps us in suspense as the different histories of the main players unfold while they converge in the present in an epic fight scene.  As fast as we are hooked by the writing the book ends, leaving us wanting more both of the building tension between Ash and Cain and the growing fight between the bad guys, the police, and the vigilante.  Since this is the first in a trilogy, we know there is so much more to tantalize and entertain in the books to come.

64 - How to Date Your Dragon by Molly Harper

WE WANT TO LIVE IN MYSTIC BAYOU!  This book was so much fun to read, we can’t praise it enough.  We love the small town, magical community Molly creates for Bael to protect and Jillian to explore.  The feeling is very much like Stars Hollow from Gilmore Girls but with a Supernatural twist! Jillian is coming off a long but abusive relationship and not ready to get into anything serious.  But life has other things in mind.  While not the focus of the book, the abuse and damage done by Jillian’s ex is very evident in her person and how she approaches new men in her life.  It's an important story of the lasting impact gaslighting and mental abuse have on people.  Luckily, Jillian meets and falls for a totally new kinda guy in Bael.  Get ready for fun sexy times in all kinds of unique places!

63 - Vengeance Unveiled by Zoey Indiana

In this book we explore a dystopian, futuristic world different from the worlds of most of our books.  We are introduced to a future where men are extinct and society is controlled by the iron fist of the government  This book turns so many of the traditional romance tropes on their heads!  Freya is the super badass warrior; a trained killing machine.  While Bash is imprisoned, manipulated, and kept from the greater world for the purposes of forced breeding.  The chemistry between them is brilliant as both navigate a new and unexpected path forward.  This book was so much fun to read.  Take what you think you know about romances and throw it out.  The characters grow together and individually in really believable ways.  We can’t wait to read more and find out what other surprises Zoey has in store.

62 - Found in Amber by Esther Rabbit

This book finishes up the story that began in Lost in Amber which we read last year.  The first part was so new and interesting we couldn’t wait to see what Ester did in the second part.  The stakes from the first book are raised, now it is not just Earth that is in danger but many planets around the universe.  The blooming relationship between Zoey and Jasper continues in book two, we even get a beautiful and gentle love scene. Zoey’s character continues to grow and learn as she reexamines her past relationship with James and her new relationship with Jasper.  Once again, Esther crafts beautiful and complex characters that have wonderfully real feeling relationships.  We were so excited to spend more time in this world and this book delivered.

61 - Daring by Elliott James

Not our typical Paranormal Romance, this book is more of an Urban Fantasy.  Despite that, it delivers a strong main character that we have a real soft spot for.  We love John Charming and this book is all about him!  Unfortunately most of the fun characters from the first book are absent as Jon goes on a spiritual journey to reconcile with his inner wolf.  There is some fun sexual tension with new characters and a load of intrigue.  Even though we don’t get the sexy fun we are looking for we really enjoy these books by Elliott James.  Don’t miss our discussion of the best part in the book, when John literally runs away from a woman offering sex.

60 - Fallen Academy: Year One by Leia Stone

We love this wild and insane world that is created in the aftermath of angels and demons bringing their battle to Earth. Brielle may be only 18 and might have the wings of Satan but that doesn’t stop her from developing serious feels for the sexy Lincoln Grey.  While this book might be a New Adult novel the relationships and interactions between characters don’t feel juvenile.  While the sex is late and less descriptive, there are a few heavy kissing scenes which kept us going as the book ricocheted from one wild adventure to the next.

SDB for BLM

Our quick statement in of support for BLM, the protests, and the need for change to become better than we are now.

59 - The Stone Warriors: Damian by D. B. Reynolds

There is nothing like finding yourself in a life or death situation to make you wish for some help.  Luckily for Casey, her wish was answered when a statue came to life and saved the day.  I will now spend the rest of time wishing for help on hunky statues whenever I see one.  Damn! This book brings the heat.  It is not for the faint of heart.  The sex scenes are hot, heavy, and plentiful, just what we want!  Bonus, even though Damian is an ancient warrior he is free from much of the annoying machismo that ruins some of these characters.  That doesn’t mean his and Casey’s relationship is smooth sailing, but at least he isn’t being a total alpha all the time.
