Frost Impressions by Kelly Fox

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Living in a town named Christmas Falls with a name like Gray Frost, you'd think he'd loved Christmas. On the contrary, he'd rather get a root canal than participate in anything remotely festive. Yet here he is running the regional airport for commuter airlines and rich guys who have nothing better to do than fly in for the season. He's picked a fight with a pilot - the wealthy and wickedly attractive Sunny Day. He's as irritatingly cheerful as his name would suggest, even when his plane breaks down. He's a little less bright when he realizes Grey has the only spare bed in town. The only point in his favour is that he hates Christmas as much as Grey does. When he finds out what stole his joy, though, he has to wonder if the town's charms can give him back the love he once had for the holiday.

I enjoyed this but found the two men annoying and their change in attitude to Christmas and each other was just too fast and not detailed enough to enjoy fully. I was pleased that they had a happy ending. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Operation: Burlesque by Michelle Fox 3 of 5 stars

Operation: Burlesque by Michelle Fox
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ruby Palmer is an aspiring costume designer who prefers to work in the background. She gets a job as the seamstress for steamy Cirque D’Amour but she ends up having to go into the spotlight and handsome magician Blake Cannon on the last night of the season won't take no for an answer either. After one unforgettable night together he is gone and Ruby finds her hopes of a future dashed. To make matters worse there is trouble at the door and he seems to be tangled up in dangerous lies. Before she knows it she is sucked into a dangerous underworld filled with sleight of hand and exotic destinations which will kill her if they can. Can they ever have a future?

I enjoyed this story which had the drama of their relationship, the underground world that he was mixed in that she was dragged into, and her friendship with Lilli. I loved that she learnt to appreciate her curves and that with Blake's attention to her. I was thrilled with the way the story ended and that everything worked out in a way that was secure and pleasing for them all. Easy to read and understand. Contains mature content.

Review: Daddy Esquire by Olivia Fox 2 of 5 stars

Daddy Esquire by Olivia Fox
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Belinda was clear about what she wanted - a Daddy Dom to take care of her as the farm and ranch boys her age were just ok for a roll in the hay and nothing more. So she uses FetLife to try and find someone even though she knew meeting someone via the internet was not always successful. As soon as she met Arthur who was 27 years older than her she realises that he is everything and more from his online pictures. He will definitely teach her to call him Daddy and will also teach her to be a very badly behaved girl.

This was a fast-paced story that focused on their doubts based on past disappointments and how they could move past them. I did find some of the things that they did a bit bizarre and the ending was a little abrupt with the move to a later time. I also had some outstanding questions as to what she was doing - still a PA or writing? Easy to read. Contains a lot of mature content including a BDSM DDLG relationship.

Review: Sizzling Hot Daddy by Olivia Fox 1 of 5 stars

Sizzling Hot Daddy by Olivia Fox
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Successful social media manager Gracie is a BBW who suffers from anxiety and when the lights go out and she is stuck in the darkness suffers a panic attack. Her best friend Sofie helps by sending over someone to fix the solar system right away who just happens to be hot. As soon as Luke sees Gracie he knows he is in trouble especially when she gives little girl squeaks -just right for him to go all Daddy Dom on her.

I found this a very hard book to read - the thought of calling your Dom "Daddy" is just ridiculous. I found the characters to be shallow, with very little on their thoughts and feelings outside of anything connected with sex or high-level stuff about her panic attacks. I found it weird for her to discuss very personal stuff with the woman in the dress shop and a lot was left unsaid. Just weird.

Review: A History of Violence by Mallory Fox 3 of 5 stars

A History of Violence by Mallory Fox
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Viola is a 23-year-old assassin who is very smart but also quite crazy at times. He has to pose as a schoolgirl at an elite school for Mafia kids called Sacred Heart in order to do her next kill. What she finds is a dark place with lots of bullying but having met and analysed Lorcan who is her hit as he was alleged to brutally rape and kill a girl called Aurora, things are not what it seems as it appears to be some kind of paedophile ring and he is just a victim, not the perpetrator. There is also a hot attraction between them both. in the group of friends is also joking and flirty Dino, Aurora's cousin Jude who is intense and protective. They need to start to dismantle the ring.

This was definitely a slow burn, dark and violent reverse harem story which has laid out the groundwork and reasons for what happens next in this series. I enjoyed the story and as long as you are careful about the trigger points it is fairly enjoyable. It was easy to read and understand, although there were moments that moved fairly fast. Contains very mature content in places with a lot of trigger points - please read all the warnings that the author has written and think carefully before you start this book!

Review: Punishing Thirst by Olivia Fox 3 of 5 stars

Punishing Thirst by Olivia Fox
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mafia member Dante Drago finds Savanna López next to a dead man on her floor and agrees to keep it a secret if she stands in as his fake fiance. The thought of her under his control certainly makes him very hard and he can't want to get her home. But over time his plan backfires as he has two people to protect when she falls pregnant.

This was a pleasant read that had its dramatic moments as they both navigated the dramas of her stalker and Drago with his mafia lifestyle. However, there is no doubt that central to this was a love story that had started in a fake relationship that was then very sizzling between them as it developed into something more. Definitely for mature readers only.

In order to pay for treatment for her Mum as well as keep a roof over their heads, Myra has to become a Blood Courtesan in order to get money. Before she knows it she is sharing a bed with Vampire Kristos Anastos. Then bullets start flying and they are actually after her not Kristos - can everyone be kept safe? A nice short story but it was a bit lame in places and I wish Myra was a bit more intelligent.

Review: Burning for Him by Michelle Fox 4 of 5 stars

Burning for Him by Michelle Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Selena Connor's fiance stole her life savings and she has crushing debts. Add to that her boss is doing his best to harass her into his bed as persistently as he can. So when she receives a magic locket which brings demon Khan to her for just three nights to ravish her body it is a welcome distraction. His dark magic unlocks some deep secrets from her body and heart and so the burning desire she has for him allows him to bend her to his will and erase all of her real-world cares. Sadly the locket only binds him for the three nights for some soul-searing pleasure and just as Selina realises that she just cannot live without him demon Khan disappears and she has to cope with reality. Her boss has framed her to take the fall for some serious crimes that he has committed and if she does not give in to his advances now she will end up in jail. With nothing left to lose Selina takes a leap of faith on the one man she wants to truly possess her if only she is the one woman to free him.

I really enjoyed this novella which was definitely in the erotic classification. I liked the premise of the story around Selina and three fronts - Khan, her ex-fiance and her boss. For such a clever woman who was obviously great at her work, she definitely had issues with her management of relationships with people. Very enjoyable and I loved the way the story ended. Contains a lot of explicit sexual content which involves a lot of BDSM.

Review: Dragon Burning Bright by Michelle Fox 5 of 5 stars

Dragon Burning Bright by Michelle Fox

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Adara Brenton's family has a genetic predisposition to spontaneous human combustion and she has recently started emitting fireballs - the latest one at her now ex-job so she now needs to find another job as well as find a way to control what is happening to her. Dragon Endre Felman has lived deep inside a mountain for centuries while adding to his hoard and looking for his mate. Meeting Adara before it is too late is a source of hope for him but he still has to convince her that dragons are real and that they are mates destined to be together. It is the only way to keep her alive as she goes through her own transformation but she is fighting him all the way as she refuses to feel and believe what he knows is true. In the end, they may both burn to ash because no dragon lives forever without love.

I loved this story which had the necessary elements of danger, suspense, drama and love all rolled together into a unique story focussed around Adara and Endre. I could definitely sympathise with Adara as she struggled to grasp a new concept that she had to understand and follow as quickly as possible as well as learn to trust and ultimately love a man she had only recently met. I could feel and empathise with them both as I read this book. Definitely recommended.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Neriza's life went into a tailspin when a car accident leaves her with no parents, a sister who is severely injured and completely poverty stricken. Then she sees an advert in the paper and a solution seems clear to her - become a Blood Courtesan. However her first client is her teen idol pop star Lyric Rivers and bizarrely he doesn't want anything to do with her after paying for her. Then things take a turn for the worst when her father's misdeeds come to haunt her putting them all in danger. Can she solve the problem left my her Dad, make Lyric want her and keep her heart intact?

This is a great addition to the Blood Courtesans series of books and had a few really great twists in the story that you won't see coming (I certainly didn't). I loved the way it built up and the anticipation of how great things could and hopefully would be between Neriza and Lyric. Well told and described it was easy to pick up the thoughts and emotions of the characters involved in the story and get involved in their story.

Killer Stakes by Michelle Fox
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amelia Larson works for the FBI in a special department for metaphysicals and is currently on medical leave following the end of her last case. When serial killers hit her area she feels she has to come off leave to use her psychic abilities to track them down. Add to that her life is more than a little complicated - she is bonded to a vampire who is annoying the hell out of her, she has boyfriend problems so when her DNA also becomes an intense focus life becomes completely chaotic.

The book contains a lot of action with twists and turns all the way through. You might think you understand the plot but then it changes direction and you get a whole new set of surprises. I loved some of the detail in the story that helped to build a great book that kept me addicted from the start to the finish. It was well written and I liked the way you felt involved in the emotions she was feeling as she discovered a lot of new things around both the different races, her own history and who was her friend and who was not. You will not regret getting into this great series.

Needing Him by Kennedy Fox
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Evan Bishop broke the family mould and instead of working on the ranch he is a doctor working in the local hospital ER. He does however still work on the ranch on his days off so he has the body to show for all his hard physical labour. He's never got the time for dating so decides to have one wild night at a family wedding with one of the guests. Emily Bell is a city girl and is determined to escape from her family name and make her own in a new hospital. She is also determined to not get involved with anyone after being burnt one time too many but when she goes with her friend Kayla as her +1 to a wedding and then finds herself on her own at the bar, the presence of a hot guy in a tux persuades her to break her new rules for one hot night of fun before she buckles down to work. After all they both want nothing from each other after the one night of passion - however it appears that somewhere there is another plan that becomes blatantly clear when she starts her new job on Monday morning.

Oh wow I loved this story. Yes the initial problem on the Monday morning was almost obvious and a little cheesy but after that it was all original with lots of surprises, twists and turns as they got to know each other. I loved the way the story developed and the way it ended too. You will definitely have a smile on your face when you finish it. You do not need to have read the previous Bishop Brothers book to read this one.

Amelia (Mel) Larson is an FBI agent with an additional skill - she is a psychic which she uses to help solve cases. Her success rate is impressive but her latest case may well turn out to be her hardest - a Dracula copycat that pulls her into an underworld where not every killer is human.

I loved this story. Mel was strong and feisty while undeniably human with had real emotions and feelings. I enjoyed the story and how she coped and struggled with the non-human characters she encountered. Well told and everything was very clear and easy to feel and understand.

Taming Him by Kennedy Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Alex Bishop is a typical Texan cowboy - hot to look at and a playboy who has manners too (thanks to his Mama). River Lancaster is a nurse that finds out after 6 months together that the man of her dreams is married. So she is persuaded to go to Key West in Florida to concentrate more on Margarita and less on men. However when she meets the right man for her can they both have the two weeks together with no strings attached and walk away or does the universe have different plans for them both?

A charming story with what appears to be two sections but it is a complete story. Alex was surprisingly charming and well mannered considering the way his behaviour was described at the start but he was actually a really nice guy. I liked the way the relationship between Alex and River developed and that there was a deep and true love between them (and not just a physical relationship). A nice read.

I voluntarily reviewed this advanced reader copy and I have not been compensated in any way.

Mermaid Mila is caught in the supernatural slave trade and needs saving and some allies but Niall MacTeine (one of the cursed dragon brothers in Scotland) promises her undying love after she gives him the 'kiss of the sea' and he realises she is 'the one'. To break the curse that locks him in a human form Mila is going to trust him and Niall is going to have to prove to her that he is worth it.

I LOVED this story and found that I was completely enthralled by this tale of mermaids, dragons and slave traders. The love story between Mila and Niall was nicely written and I could feel their emotions and concerns. Everything was well described and the story ending was a nice surprise.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kit is trying to find his cousin Jase in Vegas when he find a dirty shirt in Jase's room with the smell all over it of Kit's mate Rhiannon. Ok he hasn't see her for 15 years (when he panicked and ran away from her), but now not only does he want to find Jase, but he wants to find her too.

Rhiannon has moved on and is now a burlesque dancer in Vegas. She feels that if they really were mates that he would not have been able to run away from her, so she is not prepared to countenance any interaction with Kit. However she borrowed money from a mob boss which Jase has disappeared with, so she desperately needs to find him too (preferably before the mob boss's crew find her).

Lovely story about youth, hurt feelings, and whether it is possible to have what you want/need no matter what. I really enjoyed this story. I could definitely feel the pain and emotions from the characters and was definitely wishing for a happy ending.
