Third Challenge: Adrien must search Alexis’ house for the damning evidence, without her finding out.

Decadent

Decadent
By: Shayla Black

Kimber Edgington is a virgin with a crush-on a pop star with a penchant for threesomes. Determined to prove that she's woman enough for singer Jesse McCall, Kimber turns to bodyguard Deke Trenton for sexual education...lessons that include his super-sexy friend Luc. Though she's saved herself for Jesse, Kimber soon learns that he's not the man adept at stoking her aching, endless need. That's Deke, and he can't resist when Kimber begs for more-and more.

Publisher: Berkley Trade/Berkley Heat

ISBN: 0-425-21721-3

Genre: Contemporary Erotic/Menage á Trios
Length: Mainstream/approx. (Print)
Sensual Rating-- 5 flames

Ms. Black never fails to deliver a hot erotic tale laced with a wonderful cast of characters and steamy suspense. Spinning off of Wicked Ties, the hero in Decadent is Jack's friend Deke who in my personal opinion is one hot man! Deke is notorious for his brand of loving and for the fact he includes his cousin Luc in on the acts. But when a blast from his past appears on his doorstep requesting he and Luc to sleep with her, he can't believe it.

Kimber only went to Deke with the intention of learning how to please another man sexually. She knows Deke thinks she's crazy for her request but she is determined for him to teach her about the menage a trios lifestyle.

I found Deke and Kimber's relationship to be heartwarming and very realistic. Ms. Black's stories are entertaining and very erotic, but always a romance--this is possibly what makes author Shayla Black one of my favorites.

After All These Years By Gwen Masters

After All These Years by Gwen Masters

When Marilyn first meets William at the train station on a cold December day, she thinks he’s crazy. Soon she realizes that he’s not crazy—just quirky—and she is stunned that he recognizes her as the wife of Bobby Overmire, a Marine who was killed in the Beirut bombings in 1983. As time passes, Marilyn becomes much more interested in William than in the husband she lost over two decades ago. But William is harboring a secret—a secret that could destroy Marilyn’s world all over again.


Publisher: Forbidden Publications
ISBN: N/A
Genre: Erotica
Length: novella/approx. 45 pages
Sensual Rating: 4 Flames

Life was hard after Bobby died at war, but Marilyn made the best of it. She raised their three kids, and continued living the normal life she knew though her heart ached with the thought she’d never see her husband again. Sitting on a bench at the local train station, she meets a man named William, who announces to her that she’s a gift. She’s convinced the man is loony but soon finds out William knew her Bobby and more importantly knew what happened in the final hours of his life.

In After All These Years, Ms. Masters weaves intricate plot aspects of both the past and present masterfully. I felt as if I were in the story with the characters, seeing their life as they did. I sympathize for Marilyn and the pain she obviously went through and enjoyed the ending, where Ms. Masters pulls at your heartstrings with one final plot twist that makes you smile and cry at the same time. Ms. Masters tells a lot of story in only a few pages making this one of the best novellas I've read in a long time. A highly enjoyable story, After All These Years, is a definite keeper.
