Santa's Kiss by Pepper North by Paige Michaels
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Rose Stewart invested in a store franchise to create cuddly friends for stuffie fans of all ages. She is a true Little at heart but needs a Daddy of her dreams to make life complete. Adam Connell needs a gift for his niece's birthday but he finds so much more when he goes to Stuff-It and he finds an enchanting woman in a Santa hat singing Christmas carols off tune who happens to be the Little he has been searching for.

I really enjoyed the way that he did his best to take care of Rose and help her as much as he could even though she was a little resistant at times. It was great that their relationship developed at a fast pace but that he was probably going slower than she would have wanted. It was easy to read and understand. Contains mature BSDM-like content with a DDLG relationship.

Review: Violet by Pepper North 3 of 5 stars

Violet by Pepper North
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Violet is shocked on her 22nd birthday when she is transported to a magical world and stunned to learn that she is designed to be the mate of a magic-wielding sorcerer who will protect her as his cherished droblin at all costs. Garrick has prepared for her arrival for hundreds of years when a mysterious stone appears in his garden. It links the twelve sorcerors of Bairn together for the first time and the men must combine their powers to ensure the safety of the young women selected for them by fate. Given the dangers they face, will the united front of these spellbinding Daddies be enough?

This was a fun book to read from the confusion of Violet when she arrived, to her defiance insisting that she could do things by herself, to her gradual acceptance that he was there to love and care for her and that it was ok to let him care for her as if she were a small child. Easy to read and understand. The book contains mature BSDM-like content of a DDLG nature. They are stand-alone but it is better to read them in order.

Review: On The Rocks by Ivy Nelson 3 of 5 stars

On The Rocks by Ivy Nelson
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Amalia Sanchez was looking for a way out of a situation when she took a job making over The Outpost but when she got there she also got a blast from the past and a second chance at love even though she is trying not to add the mess of her own life to that of the man she had a one night stand with four years ago, Mitch Hartley. That one night changed her life and introduced her to kink and power exchange and now Mitch has taken her to Club Solitaire to show her what they have hoping to tempt her to give him a chance. Does she walk away from it again, or does she trust Mitch to save her?

I enjoyed this story and it was great to be back with the folks at Club Solitaire and the characters that I know from reading other books. It was easy to read, feel and understand as we got more involved with the couple and their complicated lives. Contains mature content of a BDSM nature with D/s relationships.

Review: Wesley by Shaw Montgomery 4 of 5 stars

Wesley by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wesley suffers from Agoraphobia and depression too much of his teenage years and he is determined to not let it stop him. When everything that he wanted is right in front of him he has to decide if he has the courage to take the final leap. Photographer and Dom Tyler knows that life does not go to plan all of the time. When he is talked into doing a photo shoot with a nervous model who has never done a traditional shoot he is a bit worried he has gotten in over his head as being good with nervous subs and high-strung models doesn't mean that he is the right person to work with the captivating man with the tragic past. When getting the perfect photos leads to mixed signals and misunderstandings, it will take more than just chemistry and lingerie to help them learn to trust each other…and themselves.

I loved this story with the tragic Wesley, the confident Tyler, the photo shoot, the unfortunate miscommunication and the effect that it had on them both. It was great to understand a Dom's perspective on that incident and the fact that they were both very attracted to each other and just needed to communicate and build trust. It was a delight to experience the way that they worked together and the way that their relationship blossomed as a result. Easy to read, feel and understand. Contains MM mature content which is BDSM-like of a D/s nature and men who like wearing lacy panties.

Review: Spencer by Shaw Montgomery 4 of 5 stars

Spencer by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

UPS guy Spencer is content with his life even though he is confused and a little awkward. But life is good as he has a steady job, Frank his goldfish but he knows he needs to sort out his feeling that the lingerie at Leashes and Lace is so interesting and why any dating he does never works out. Devin is happy with his life as he works at the LGBT youth centre and he has a growing friendship with the guys at Leashes and Lace who help with fundraising. The calm UPS guy who he sees at the centre is nothing like the nervous and uncoordinated man who can't seem to admit how curious he is about the lingerie so what is he longing for? With Spencer’s fear standing in their way, it will take the love of well-meaning friends and a little timely misfortune to bring them together.

I really enjoyed this story with the shy Spencer and Dom Devin and how they were brought together and became a couple. I loved their sensitivity as well as their strength which culminated in a really strong relationship between each other. The accident was very fortuitous and I loved the care that Devin took over Spencer which showed love and respect. Easy to read, feel and understand. Contains mature content of a BDSM-like of a D/s nature and men who like wearing lacy panties.
