Goodreads Synopsis:

It’s been three years since I set foot in Club Explicit, and three long years since I set eyes on Andy Morgan.
He doesn’t want me here, doesn’t want to know me, doesn’t want to even hear my name.
But I’m back on his doorstep, in his office, in his life… with a suitcase full of dirty bad secrets.

Faye Devere is out to claim her old life back. Three years in Italy have come at a heavy price, and she’s running back to the only anchor she has left: her fifty-fifty share of Club Explicit, and the man she left to pick up her pieces.
But Andy Morgan’s long over it. Long over her.
Club Explicit is his baby now. His club, his rules, his way.
Andy’s not a man who shares easily. And certainly not with the woman who upped and left without so much as a goodbye.

When your battlefield is London’s horniest playground, and sex is the sole weapon left in your arsenal, it’s only a matter of time before the fight gets dirty… and the secrets get dirty bad.

WARNING: As is always the case with Jade West novels, please proceed with caution. The book contains hardcore BDSM and sexual practices that may offend some readers. Please use your own discretion. Most definitely 18+ on

Review:

 The warning about this being the dirtiest book yet is definitely true. Take it to heart.

There’s some real anger between these two, a lot of hate-fucking issues to work out. There’s humiliation, and a lot of anal (both giving and receiving), mention of watersports and dirtier things, orgies, f/f, whipping with blood, to name a few things. It’s dirty, for real. And while I found most of it incredibly hot, a lot of people won’t. Warning!

There’s also a lot of angst. Andy is pissed about the way that Faye ditched him and the club and disappeared for three years, understandably. Faye is trying to move on from what she did, and is frustrated that Andy won’t let her. Faye does whine a bit, but I understood her side, and I felt bad for both of them. They’re both very headstrong and angry and stubborn. They have a lot of fighting to go through before they can talk to each other.

But I loved their chemistry, and when they finally calmed down, they were good together. They love each other and always have, they just have to get past the hurt first. And Faye has to get past Vincent, the guy who she was with for those three years. Vincent took more than he gave, and there was some dubious consent when she was with him, and so she left. I do like what happens with him in the end, too, very deserving after what he did.

I loved this book, and it’s pretty much equal to the first one, my favorite thus far. I loved getting to see the previous characters, Cat and Masque in particular. And I really hope that Topaz gets her own book next. She deserves to find a guy (or even pair?) who will love her, and treat her as dirty as I think she wants.

I want more! It was so good and I loved it.

Wishlist Thursday[141]: To Have and To Master (Masters Unleashed, #3) by Sparrow Beckett

To Have and To Master (Masters Unleashed, #3) by Sparrow Beckett

Genre: Erotica/Adult Contemporary BDSM Romance

Publisher: Penguin

Release Date: January 19, 2016

Buy it here: Amazon. Barnes and Noble.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Tired of his mother bugging him to marry a nice girl from the old country, Konstantin agrees to meet her friend’s daughter when she’s shipped over from rural Russia.

Naturally obedient and submissive, Varushka is everything Konstantin wants in a woman. The fact that she’s so naive and easily scandalized arouses him but makes him feel guilty. Training the girl to be his slave quickly becomes a compulsion.

Varushka is confused by a lot of things in America, especially by her future husband and his sexual depravity. Sinister and captivating, Konstantin introduces her to many fascinating perversions, and his care and attention wins her complete devotion. However, when her father finds out about Konstantin’s past, he whisks her back home. Will Varushka’s Master give chase to reclaim her, or will he allow her father to marry her off to a more respectable man?

Why?:

I loved the first book in this series, and while I enjoyed the second one, I’ve been looking forward to Konstantin’s story since I first met him. It sounds like it’ll be even steamier than the others, with hints of what Konstantin is into. And I’m excited to meet the woman he falls for.

I can’t wait for this to show up on my Kindle.

Since I’m doing an adult book this time, I thought I’d list the two other books out this month I’m excited for:

Dirty Bad Secrets (Dirty Bad, #4) by Jade West out January ?, 2016. I’ve loved this series so far, and am of course excited for the next one. The release date was pushed back, but I think it's out on the 26th this month.

Three Dirty Secrets (The Blindfold Club, #4) by Nikki Sloane out January 26, 2016. While I haven’t gotten around to finishing the first two books in the series, I loved the third book. It’s a favorite, which makes me excited for this one. I hope it’s just as good.

What’s on your list?

Novel Review: Dirty Bad Savage (Dirty Bad, #2) by Jade West

Rating (Out of 5): ~4.5

Genre: Erotica/Adult Contemporary Romance; BDSM

Publisher: Self-Published

Release Date: June 9, 2015

Spoilers?: No.

Buy it here: Amazon.

Goodreads Synopsis:

They say Callum Jackson's a savage.
No home. No prospects. No self-restraint.
He's red-flagged on my system, a grade-1 aggression risk, totally off limits for a woman like me.
But the rules don't allow for my dangerous games; they don't bend for my twisted desires.
Callum Jackson is the most beautiful beast.
A beast I can't stop thinking about, can't stop wanting, can't stop hunting...
...I just pray to God this beast bites.

Sophia Harding runs a tight ship. She may work in the dregs of housing association slums, but her patch is on the way up.
Anti-social behaviour is down, employment is on the rise, and she's even been shortlisted for estate manager of the year.
It's looking good. Really good. Until Callum Jackson completes his jail time and lands right back on her doorstep.
She could do without a guy like him on her books: a failure of the system and a pain in the fucking ass.
She should tick the boxes, do her job and keep her distance – that's what the handbook says. The handbook says no one-on-one contact, no at-risk situations, no direct confrontation of any kind.
But the handbook doesn't know of her craving for hardcore submission.
The handbook has no fucking idea how she yearns to unleash Jackson at club Explicit, where his savage can really run wild.
The handbook doesn't know shit...

The Cover:

I like this cover. I think that it looks a lot like the first book, but is different enough. The model and the tattoos give a nice bad edge, and the title is really nice. I like it.

Review:

Jade West is forever on my auto-buy list from now on. There’s no way I’m not buying any other book by her, and I really wish she had a hundred more ready for me to buy already.

I loved Dirty Bad Wrong. I loved it so much, and it’s already one that I’ve re-read. This is at the same level for me.

Sophie knows she wants someone dirty and bad and rough. She wants pain, she wants someone rough with her, but she’s playing the edge between good wrong and truly dangerous. She doesn’t want to go too far, and yet she’s drawn to Callum, and she can’t help herself.

Callum just got out of prison, and now he’s practically on the streets. Sophie helps him get his dog back, and now he’s on his own, trying to take care of a friend and her kid from some bad people. Sophie watches over the district he’s staying at.

Callum has never tried real BDSM before, but he’s rough in bed, because that’s what he knows and that’s how he likes it. Sophie gets him to explore the BDSM side more, because she keeps pulling him back, finally letting him stay at her house. They both want it, a real relationship, badly. And I loved that they admitted it to themselves, and then each other.

The sex is rough, and even dirtier than in the first book, in a kind of different way. It’s more literally filthy in a few scenes, and it’s hot. We even get to see Masque and Cat and Raven from the first book, and I love them. Masque and Cat put on a show in one scene, and it made me want to go back and re-read their book.

I loved this book, unabashedly. I want more so badly, and I cannot wait for whatever West releases next.

Goodreads Synopsis:

They call him Masque.
I call him God.
The man I want to consume me, own me, break me and corrupt me.
Yet I've never seen his face.
His body ripples like an adonis, sculpted in steel and dripping in sin. His flesh is inked with the mark of the chimera - one body, two very different halves.
He plays hard.
He plays rough.
He has no limits.
He's so fucking dirty bad wrong.
But I love him for it.

***

Lydia Marsh is always the strong one. The girl who never breaks, and sure as hell never cries. She's got it all - the perfect little life in cosy suburbia, with her perfectly nice boyfriend, and their perfectly sufficient sex life. She's even got her perfect little career plan all wrapped up at Trial Run Software Group.

But when it all falls apart, and Lydia's pretty, green eyes are fixed on a brutally sexual stranger - the man they call Masque - she comes to suspect that being strong isn't all it's cracked up to be.

For now Lydia wants something she's never wanted before...

And she wants Masque to give it to her.

If you aren't turned on by dirty bad wrong sex then please walk on by. Thank you.***

The Cover:

I really like the cover. I think it's fitting, that the dark cover and wire works well, and it's hot. It's well done.

Review:

I want to say, first of all, that this is a very dirty book. It’s much of an extreme BDSM kink, with whipping and crying and sadism. Be warned.

But honestly, I completely loved it, and want more like it so much.

Lydia has always been a good girl, but she’s finding that she wants more, and when she goes to the BDSM club, she finds she’s wanting a lot dirtier. Her newfound friend Raven doesn’t believe it, and neither do he, until she proves it to them.

The attraction was immediate, and hot, and simmered for a while. They both have reasons for not wanting to do anything, him especially. But finally it hits a point and they can’t stop. And then it gets seriously hot.

It seemed very realistic to me, their reasons for worry, the way Lydia’s friends reacted. And I really loved the way Lydia pushed for what she wanted, and didn’t back down when she was told no, or when she was judged.

This book was so hot, and while there was a lot of development and I loved the characters and the ending, the sex and the attraction and the romance is what got me most. I loved their relationship, and it was so hot.

I just want more of this, honestly.
