Undone by Jasmine Haynes
Summoning courage, Margo Faraday answers an ad for “the perfect model”, a real woman to pose for erotic pictures. How much and how far the model wants to go in the pictures is up to her the ad reads. Amateur photographer Dirk Araman is intrigued by the beautiful seductive woman who answers his ad. With the first click of the camera’s shutter, Margo’s inhibitions seem melt and the woman underneath is free to explore the wild side she has kept hidden with the very willing Dirk.

Jasmine Haynes' story has a real woman complete with flaws, but with the strength to finally admit her love even if she fears the unknown. She also offers a tender younger man willing to be all she needs. I absolutely loved this seductive story that blended a highly erotic plot with characters that had plenty of chemistry who formed a beautiful bond of tender and yet sensual trust and love.

Rubies and Black Velvet by Denise Rossetti
The black and ruby encrusted corset, a beautifully stunning creation, was created to tantalize and seduce a man to heights of desire as it creates a path of destruction from years of carnal demonic play. Meg and John, young lovers separated by a cruel twist of fate, are reunited after six long years. No longer the same man, John’s body carries the marks of years of cruel punishment and enslavement. Yet the only thing that has kept him sane was thoughts of his beautiful Meg. By a twist of fate, the demon corset falls into Meg’s hands and binds its needs of cruelty, hate, destruction, and death to her.

Denise Rossetti has done a fantastic job of creating a fascinating world by mixing fantasy and reality in the imaginative and highly romantic story of love lost and found. A true delight that uses vividly described scenes and characters that seem to play out right before the reader’s eyes with drama, passion and seduction at every twist and turn.
