Book Review: First Kisses by Dina Littner ~ A Short Story

Dina Littner presents First Kisses. A short story that is incredibly sweet, although incredibly short! (this is me screaming for more more more!!)

It was really cute. I loved the interaction between the teens in the treehouse. The two best friends and Jillian are exactly how I remember with my friends when I was that age. It was so easy, and just ..was.


I loved that the boys called her Jills, and the natural chemistry they have leads into the perfect discovery of Jills getting her first (and second) kiss!

First Kisses is all about discovery and contemplation! I loved the style of the writing of Dina Littner and anxiously anticipate the extension of this story, or lots more stories from her! She will bring a wonderful storyline to her first novel and I absolutely look forward to reading it in 2016!

Definitely read this if you’re after a super quick read of cuteness and first time kisses.

In her newest book, Emma James delves into the cold hard world of outlaw motorcycle clubs. Wrenched, a new title in the Hell’s Bastard Series, is not for the faint hearted, and by the end of the first chapter you will know if it’s for you or not. James starts off with a literal bang, and keeps the momentum going throughout the story, taking the reader on a dark and dirty journey.

This book is heavily focused on the female lead character, so if you’re looking for a male dominated, heavy motorcycle club read, you won’t get it here. This is a dark and twisted suspense novel, with a motorcycle club influence. It certainly doesn’t detract at all, in fact Whispers story line is intriguing and will have you glued to the pages. Whisper has been secluded from the outside world her entire life, and once she escapes from the horrible world she has been bought up in, her real life and growth begins.

Edge is the enforcer for the Soulless Bastards Motorcycle Club. He’s a presumably heartless bastard who will do anything for his club. His demeanor is wild, but calculated. His mission in life is thrown into a loop when he stumbles across a stranger in a bar. One ride with her (literally) and he can’t stop thinking of her. Who is she? Why is she such a mystery? The answers are unraveled right towards the end of the book! Edge will certainly have you hanging for the next installment.

Having read books in her other series (think complete opposite to this story) I commend Emma James on the growth in her writing. She shows the maturity that writing in multiple genres can produce and it comes through on the pages.

I look forward to following this series and finding out more on the characters, and their motivation for being who they are. There is a lot of mystery and intrigue in these stories, so make sure you read this if you like dark and dirty storylines. I have a feeling the best is yet to come, including the romance.

One bullet to maim and cause pain…
Oooph! Is all I can grunt out as I’m slammed sideways into the ground from the place I had been stalking my prey.One second I was aiming at the old whore so I could give her a taste of pain before we got down to business, and the next I’m bulldozed sideways as I pull the trigger, my head bouncing off the ground like a crash dummy.
WTF?
A body has landed on me and the next thing I feel is a jaw crunching blow to my face which feels like a sledge hammer has tried to take my head off. I’m left dazed and disorientated.
I was pissed before, but now I’m fucking furious, rage has me twisting about on the ground trying to see what the fuck just happened.

Jesus, her nipples are so hard I whistle at the sight of them. “Nice tits, little lady”. She pushes them up closer toward my face. I duck my head swiping my tongue over one as she starts to ride me. I suck it inside my mouth and bite down on it, enough to have her arch up a little in pain. Then she’s offering me the other one. She’s a greedy little thing.
pull her hair out of her pony tail and she shakes her hair out which is one of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen. I have her amazing body naked on my bike while she straddles my dick and her hair is flowing wild behind her as the mild breeze catches it.
I need more.
I slide my hands under her thighs and tug her legs up and pull her inside me a little closer. She lays back against the petrol tank, moving so my balls are gonna spank her rim. Then I take over.
Emma James lives in Queensland, Australia with her supportive husband, three children and a big black Labrador. Life is busy and most entertaining in the James household.
Writing has been a part of her life for many years. Life was getting on and it was time to put her fears aside and do what she does best. It was time to show readers what she was made of, take that leap off the diving board and see where it takes her.
Emma is a creative person at heart. She loves to read as much as write, devouring books into the wee hours of the morning.
Who needs sleep, right?

She loves hearing from readers, so please feel free to drop her a PM on Facebook.

Book Review: Veronica Courtesan by Siobhan Daiko

Title: Veronica COURTESAN
Author: Siobhan Daiko
Genre: Erotic/ Historic
I watch him watching us, imagining how he would take me.
I send him the message with my eyes.
This is who I am. 
I am Veronica Franco. 
I am a COURTESAN.
I court the cultural elite for fame and fortune, giving my body to many. 
And I’m good. So very good. After all, I was taught by my mother, and mother always knows best. 
How else to please the future King of France than with the imaginative use of Murano glass? How else to fulfil the desires of all yet keep my sense of self-worth?
But when disaster strikes and my life begins to unravel, I’ll have to ask myself one question:
Is it too late to give my heart to just one man?
Set in Venice 16th Century.

 

 

Advisory: sensuously erotic. 18+
 
SGMyReviewThis book was highly erotic and not for the faint of heart when it comes to explicit sex scenes. However, I think you’ll find that Veronica is a smart woman who does not do things without thorough thought. A symptom of the time, perhaps. This book is set in Venice, Italy in the 16th century. Consequences of life of that time leads to heartbreak and losses, and the sacrifices of the life of a courtesan. Reading this book I found that it was actually less about the ‘sex’ and ‘skills’ of a courtesan, and more about a woman who was trying to make it in a world where women were objects and to survive, you had to rise above and be the object desired. The quote in the book about equality added a nice touch to causes that are still being fought in the 21st century, as they were in the 16th!
Read this if you’re after a historical, erotic novel of love, losses, and sacrifice.
