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.

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.

Wicked Ties by Shayla Black

She didn’t know what she wanted until he made her beg for it…

Morgan O’Malley has seen a lot of kinky things as the hostess of a cable sex talk show. But she’s never met a man like Jack Cole before. A self-proclaimed dominant, he’s as alpha as a male can get–and good for Morgan to have around when an obsessed stalker ratchets up his attempts to get to her.

Though Jack is a bodyguard, Morgan feels anything but safe in his presence. Because slowly and seductively, Jack is bringing her deepest fantasies to the surface. And when he bends her to his will, what’s more shocking than her surrender is how much she enjoys it–and starts to crave his masterful touch. A willing player in Jack’s games, Morgan knows that his motives aren’t pure, but she has no idea how personal they are…

Morgan’s life is in danger and it’s up to one man to keep her safe. Jack is a bodyguard and a self proclaimed dominant that Morgan contacted to interview for her sex talk show. Throughout the course of their meeting, a stalker shoots at Morgan, and brings out Jacks protective bodyguard nature. He never planned to protect her, but her life depended on him.

Morgan has insecurities about herself. After leaving a bad relationship where her ex-boyfriend made her feel that her sexual needs were abnormal, she is curious about making her fantasies a reality. And Jack happens to be the right guy for the job. Hulled up in a remote cabin, surrounded by nothing but alligators and Louisiana swamp, she and Jack hide from an obsessed stalker, and Jack takes it upon himself to teach her the ways of a dominant/submissive relationship. One on one.

Sex isn't the only thing Jack's after, but revenge. He has his own little secrets that could end any and all chances of a real relationship with Morgan if she ever found out. Love is on the line in this gripping tale--a line where both Jack and Morgan learn the true difference between pleasure and pain.

Wicked Ties is a fabulous novel with so much heart and depth. I couldn’t put it down until I read the last page and even then I didn’t want Jack and Morgan’s story to end. Jack is a wonderful, complex character that is multi-layered and so real and hot, Ms. Black almost makes the reader jealous of Morgan. However, Morgan is a wonderfully strong, yet confused character that keeps the reader rooting for her from beginning to end. The plot is full of excitement and thrills, not to mention hot, steamy sex. Jack and Morgan's relationship is tried many times but the love they share shines through the hardships. I can't wait for Ms. Black’s next release. Wicked Ties is a highly recommended read!
