This book presents a unique twist to erotic stories. There are 24 stories; 12 from the man’s point of view and the same 12 from the woman’s point of view. Both sides of the story are told, and you see the encounter through the eyes of each person. The book is even printed with half the stories on one side, and then you flip it over to read the other half of the stories.

The stories take place in a variety of locations and scenarios, some indoors and some out, some in an office and a few in the bedroom. To add to the intrigue, I will tell you that half of the stories are true, and the other half are based on someone I met and wished this is how things would have worked out. It’s your job as the reader to figure out which ones are real, and which ones are just my active sexual imagination at work.

EXCERPT HER EYES

"Hey, what are you doing tonight?" I ask. He does his usual thing, hesitating before answering me. "Hmm, I don't know, what do you have in mind?" he asks in his non committal voice. "Let's go for a swim - see you around 8pm" I say. I like to play the role of choosing when we get together, and I know he likes it when I initiate things.

He is a little younger than I am; a former athlete who is still in great shape. He can certainly handle my appetite for sex. Nothing makes the stresses of the week melt away like a good hard pounding after a glass or two of wine. He is a little taller than I am, and loves to play rough. I can feel the sting of his hand already, and I shudder just a little in anticipation. His shaved head and goatee seem to fit his bad-boy demeanor perfectly. I'm sure no one at work would ever guess that I have my own beckon call boy, but it's really how I want it. I like my space, my time, but once in a while I need to feel the weight of a man on top of me.

I hear his car pull up out front and I reach into the garage and push the button to raise the door for him to pull in. I prefer to not have the neighbors know I get company once in a while. I chug the last half glass of wine I poured for myself, and meet him at the door in my latest acquisition from Victoria"s Secret; a lovely sheer teddy that left nothing to the imagination yet somehow still manages to look a touch classy. God I am looking forward to this. I take one look and want him right there in the kitchen; but part of me wants to make it last. That voice speaks a little louder, and I settle for a long, deep kiss against the door. I let him know I am hungry for it, kissing him hard before pulling away and walking towards the back door. I drop the teddy to the floor as if leaving him a trail for him to follow. I walk into the backyard, surprised at just how bright the moon is tonight. The warm air hits my naked body and I can feel my nipples surge forward. I walk over to the diving board, take one big hop and dive into the water. It is the perfect temperature, warm on my skin and yet still invigorating.

I am already tired of waiting, and he is taking longer than I want. I swim over to his side of the pool, and express my distaste for taking his sweet time by sending the biggest splash I can muster in his direction. He has his sandals off, but I want him naked. He starts to protest, so I do it again. "Alright, alright - I'm coming!" he exclaims. He tears off his shirt and tosses it aside, and then come the shorts. He is already getting hard, and his body looks amazing in the moonlight. He starts for the stairs and I swim his direction, meeting him on the steps. I take him in my mouth right away. "This is why you are here, and I am done playing around," I think to myself. While I still can, I jam it all the way into my throat. Soon he will be too hard for that, so while I have the chance I smash my nose against his hard stomach. He is getting harder by the second, and I am already struggling to take it all in. I put my hand around the base and slowly began to jerk it while I run my tongue all over him...

Olivia and Cain Breedlove, who are brother and sister, are shocked when they have their recently deceased Father's will revealed to them. Olivia must marry within 6 months to a respectable man or she will receive none of her inheritance. If she also fails to do this, she is basically at the mercy of her brother's goodwill and he would decide how much money she gets if he chooses so. Her brother tells her that she does not have to worry, he would take care of her and make sure she would be happy. Olivia is strong-willed and doesn't want to have to rely on her brother. She asks her brother's childhood friend Morgan to help her with a solution. She wants to find a man who is sexually right for her even though she is a virgin herself. She enlists his help in attending a brothel and become a watcher of the sexual art. When Olivia was younger, she and Morgan almost had a chance at falling in love, but her father put an end to it and told him he was never to even look at her again. Morgan never stopped loving her, and Olivia thought he didn't care for her at all. Unfortunately, Olivia's plan to win Morgan's love backfires in many ways and women at the brothel start turning up dead.


This was a hot and steamy read that also featured suspense and mystery that is sometimes forgotten about in an erotica. The story was consistent and beautifully written. It didn't come off as just a sex book, but as a romance with some witty humor written also. This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I usually don't expect suspense written into an erotica. It surprised me and was believable. Just when you think you have it figured out, the author throws in some surprises you don't see coming. When the story ended, I was sad. Not because of the way it ended, but simply because the story was over. I wanted this book to keep going because I was so wrapped up in the characters.

Simply put, I have found myself a new author. I am really surprised she hasn't been picked up by some big publishing companies. She has the talent and the skills to make it big! She was also a wonderful writer to work with in the review process. I personally can't wait to read her other books now that I have found her. This is one author I will be watching for new release's in the future.

Blurb:  I speak of a love that happens betwixt a man and a woman but once in a lifetime . . .

Dante Burroughs was unaware of the hidden promises whispered in the ancient phrase, or of the dreams that would torment him.

Unfulfilled dreams of a woman, whose soul had been promised to the Ravensmoors centuries past.

Kathleen Bennett knew the torment.

Dreams filled with the image of blue eyed man, whispering promises that were locked in her heart.

A time would come, when the souls of the past would collide….


“Have I plunged from my lofty pedestal, Kate?” The sound of his throatily intoned words filled the air, a swirling mist of enticement apparent in each syllable. “Has the hideousness of my past diminished any of the esteem you may have held?”

“No.”

Her candidly issued response sent a tremor of unspoken relief running through him. She struggled to breathe, inhaling the spicy masculine scent radiating from him. Her body thrummed at his proximity and she swayed. Her heart thundered as his head lowered, the tip of his heated tongue grazing her lower lip and moistening the sensitive flesh. A low-pitched moan escaped her at the tentative touch and her lids fluttered downwards, her body suffusing with an all too familiar flame. Her hands slipped from the pockets of her robe and settled on his shoulders as she tried to remain steady. Kate floundered to suck in a wisp of a strangled gasp as the pressure of his lips brushed her jaw, leaving behind a scintillating trail of fire. Except for the gentle pressure of his mouth against her tender flesh, he didn’t place a hand on her. Kate felt an uncontrollable restlessness arising within her as his hair brushed her face, the unhurried descent of his lips along her neck evoking exasperating quivers of arousal.

“Order me to stop, Kate.” The murmured words were issued urgently against her skin, hunger evident in each syllable. “Tell me to leave you well enough alone.”

Pulsating with need, Kate grasped at his shirt, her fingers twisting into the material as she rose to the tips of her toes. Dante exhaled deeply, the warmth of his breath inciting an excited chill to rise on her overly sensitized flesh.

“Stop me, Kate.” He groaned, the weak plea issued into her ear. “Stop me and I won’t touch you.”

Carnal Cravings received a fantastic review from Whipped Cream Erotic Reviews, so good, it's up for book of the week. VOTE HERE this weekend October 3rd and 4th! Thank you so much.

Carnal Cravings by Keta Diablo
Publisher: Dark Roast Press
Genre: Historical, Short (44 pgs)
Other: M/M, M/M/M, Spanking, BDSM, Forced Seduction
Book/Cherry Rating: 4.5
Review by: Phlox


Craven, both desperately ashamed of and driven by his desires, is a thoroughly engaging character, poignant and sympathetic, while Dominic is absolutely delicious as the decadent, powerful lord of the manor. Their meeting and subsequent budding relationship proceeds in a smoothly written, flowing style, intense and heated on both sides.

My only issue with this work is that it is the beginning of what should be a longer work marketed as a short story. There will, no doubt, be more (and there should be) but this piece ends just as the romance begins to get underway."

BUY BOYS OF THE BITE

Boys of the Bite Anthology edited by Cecelia Tan
Publisher: Ravenous Romance
Genre: Contemporary, Historical, Paranormal, Vampire
Length: Short Story (190 pgs)
Other: BDSM, M/M, Ménage, Multiple Partners, Voyeurism
Rating: 4 Cherries
Review by Magnolia

Blurb:
Vampires are ever young, ever beautiful, and ruled by the cravings of the flesh. In Boys of the Bite, the gay male side of the vampire's legend is explored in every erotic possibility. From historical settings where vampires move through high society to modern vamps you find at the all-night laundromat, these lusty men know how to hunt, whether for love or just a midnight snack.

Mixing stories by gay male authors like R. R. Angell and Bob Panadero with some of Ravenous Romance's stars of m/m romance like Keta Diablo and Ryan Field, Boys of the Bite gives every reader plenty to get his or her blood pumping.

The Sin Eater’s Prince by Keta Diablo

Owen, a sin eater, is saved from death by Andras, a vampire. Little does Owen know their connection goes much deeper than he could imagine. This story is about two people who are from very different worlds, yet they love one another. As much as Owen would like to be with Andras permanently he has made an oath to his father, but so has Andras. Keta Diablo tells a wonderful little story that is really more of an encounter that could actually go on to tell a much deeper tale of love and I hope this does turn into a novel, or at least few more shorts that continues this love story.

AMANDA'S GLORY - BUY HERE

EXCERPT:

Amanda offered a tight smile. “What can I do for you, Chief?”

“I was wondering how your search for a close-combat fighting partner was coming along?”

She blinked up at him. “Why do you ask?”

He took a step closer. The room suddenly seemed too small for all that was in it. His bright green eyes lit up. “Because I’d like to offer my services.”

For a second, Amanda thought she’d lost her hearing. Breath caught in the back of her throat.

“Services?” she echoed.

“You need a sparring partner, Saurgin. I do too.”

“Uh, well…”

“Well, what? Aren’t I up to par with your needs?”

His smile had a cocky edge to it. The way he stressed the word needs, sent her mind into hyperdrive. She reached over and turned the fan to high.

“Getting hot, Saurgin?”

Amanda kept her voice neutral. “I don’t know how well matched we would be at the game. I’ve never seen you fight.”

He dipped his head close enough that Amanda could feel his breath tickle her ear. “I can hold my own with you.”

At such close proximity, images of sexual positions she never imagined slithered straight from his thoughts into hers. A violent jolt speared straight to her groin. She jerked away.

Jensen let out a soft chuckle. “Frightened of what you see?”

A frisson of dread slithered up her spine.

“Are you trying to provoke me, Chief?”

His eyes narrowed. He took a step closer. She was caught off balance by his strange mood.

“You think I don’t know how much you want me. That it's your very own dirty, little secret. But you’re wrong, Amanda.” He made a sound somewhere between a sigh and a groan. “I know exactly. Every time you prowl around in my mind, I hear what you’re thinking. It’s not a one-way street.” He put his hands on her waist and lightly held them there. “If you want to fight one-on-one and win, you better tighten up that loose mind of yours.” His fingers did a slow crawl up her shirt and paused just below her breast. She fought the urge to squirm. His lips peeled back in a feral grin. “I know how hot and desperate you are for pleasure. If you want to fuck, just ask me.” Suddenly, his arms were wrapped hard around her.

Amanda’s chin flew up. “Chief!” She pushed away.

"Don't waste time acting shocked." He stared at her a moment. “Whenever you’re ready to take me on, you know where I’ll be.”

He turned and left before she could form the words to dismiss him.
