Loving Arms by Lexie Davis

Fleeing New York City after being humiliated by her ex-boyfriend, Jessica Miller returns to her small hometown in Paradise, Texas to start over again—literally. Everything is the same, right down to still lusting after her high school crush—the boy who went away never knowing how she felt.

Alex Gray, a prestigious advertising agent in L.A., only came back to Paradise on business. He didn't expect to see Jessica, nor did he expect to feel an attraction to his best friend from high school. She ignites his passion like no other woman, while at the same time compels him to care for and protect her.

She knows once they cross the friendship line, there's no going back. Will Alex be worth risking her heart for? Or will she cower and let him slip through her grasp yet again?

5 Champagne Flutes Review for ON BENDED KNEES!

A Rose of Any Colour. Book 2: MaleDom Freya's Bower
November 7th, 2007

REVIEWED BY:

OVERALL SCORE:

Author: Multiple
Publisher: Freya's Bower

REVIEW:

I found the foreword on this book very interesting. Not being part of the BDSM lifestyle, I was grateful for the explanation to that lifestyle before reading any of the stories. The foreword and understanding of the lifestyle is a must, in my opinion, before tackling BDSM as your reading matter. The reason for this is because without that understanding, the stories may very well have come across as perverted or wrong in some way to those people, like myself, who had no previous knowledge of what some people practise in their lives.

That said, here is my review.

Story 1: On Bended Knees – Canice Brown-Porter

The Dominant Evan has been training the submissive Morgan for four months now. Morgan, along with growing as a submissive and learning all she yearned to know about the BDSM lifestyle, has found that she has developed feelings for Evan. Her training comes to an end and, though she is glad that she's been a good student, she is also saddened that her time spent with Evan has come to an end. Morgan offers Evan the gift of her submission—but will he accept it and become her Lord?

Evan sends Morgan back to her home and instructs that she records all her feelings and emotions in a diary. She must show him all of her in these writings and obey all the instructions he sets out for her. He will know if she doesn't. The time spent alone without Evan is hard for Morgan—her longings and emotions are particularly well-drawn by Ms. Brown-Porter.

I enjoyed On Bended Knees for the understanding way Ms. Brown-Porter portrayed the lifestyle. I also enjoyed having a story to read as well as erotic content. On Bended Knees is actually a quite beautiful love story. Don't let the BDSM theme fool you there. Again, this is where the foreword was appreciated.

(I am also the author of the Foreword which appears in both the BDSM Anthologies.)

New releases and great reviews

Freya's Bower would like to congratulate Alyce Brown, Emily Ryan-Davis, Babe King, T. Sue VerSteeg, and Angela Chaney for their new releases and reviews.

Freya's Bower is also beginning to offer MS Reader files. Currently, we have nine available, but more will come soon.


Hide and Seek

by Angela Chaney

Helen Quinn's normal life is thrown into chaos when her estranged twin sister borrows money from a loan shark in Helen's name. Having grown up between an orphanage and foster homes, this single mom learned early to rely on no one but herself. With sexy collection specialist, Lorenzo Rossi, demanding repayment on the loan, she has no choice but to accept his help to find her sister and the money.

Vowing to make this his last collection, Lorenzo intends to retrieve his uncle's money then find a new career without falling for the exotic Helen.

They must uncover her past to find her sister, protect her son from his father, and avoid being killed by a secret society of Egyptian priests on an ancient quest. Helen realizes she needs Lorenzo for more than just his help and protection, and Lorenzo discovers what his life needs most—love.

"A solid main plot, brilliantly weaved sub-plots, Hide and Seek is a thrill a minute. A romance tale of the highest calibre, this is one of my favourite tales so far this year...Lorenzo is one man you'll want to fall in love with time and time again."

Click!

by T. Sue VerSteeg

Almost every woman has them: those two very distinct voices in their mind that always offer advice. One voice can usually be chalked up to common sense, the other to mischief, mayhem or sometimes just plain morbid curiosity. Both are always present and accounted for, ready to offer their two cents worth.

Jemma Keith is no exception to this rule. Her inner voices only agree that she should accept the offer to photograph her snake of an ex-boyfriend’s wedding. They do not, however, agree on what to do once she gets there. Her common sense side feels like taking the high road would be appropriate, that she can handle being the better person. Her mischievous side feels more like slithering in and crashing the whole affair down around his ankles for cheating on her.

What is a woman to do when she can’t make up her mind?

At least both sides know how she feels about the bride’s cousin, Anthony Giovanni: hot, delirious, and oh, so tempted.

Join Jemma on the ride of her life through lust, temptation, revenge, and love as she fights her inner selves for peace of mind and a chance at happiness.

"Exciting, interesting, and at times very funny, Click! is a must-read for all romance enthusiasts!"
