The Erotic Book Club: March 2021
Scroll down for the discussion questions and my end-of-the-month thoughts on the book. Well, after last month’s disappointment, I went for something light and romantic for March. This month, it’s a trilogy of short novellas by two different writers. The first of the series, The Irishman, is by Elisa Leigh. The second two are by M.K. Moore (I couldn’t find her author page, but here she is on Goodreads). These novellas are of the romance sub-genre #instalove – and while likely a bit cheesy and predictable, I often find these types of stories to be positive and uplifting, which is perfect for the earliest of spring. These novellas are inexpensive,…

Erotic Book Club – February 2021
I’m going to heat it up a bit this month with the first book from Penelope Sky’s 6 book series: Synopsis: I owe him a debt. A big one. The payment can’t be settled with money or favors. He only wants one thing. Me. Every action gets a reward. A button. Once I fill his jar with three hundred and sixty-five buttons, he’ll let me go. He’ll let me walk away. But I have to earn every single one. By submitting to the darkest, cruelest, and most beautiful man I’ve ever known. ** TRIGGER WARNING ** Dark and possibly disturbing scenes of abuse and punishment. Available for Amazon Kindle $6.99, Audible…

Erotic Book Club – January 2021 Discussion
My January 2021 selection for the Erotic Book Club was: Bridgerton: The Duke & I by Julia Quinn (book #1 of a 9 book series) Amazon’s synopsis: By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend’s sister—the lovely and almost-on-the-shelf—Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth—it’s all an elaborate ruse to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it’s hard to remember that their courtship is a sham. Maybe it’s his devilish…

Erotic Book Club – The January 2021 Selection
I was originally going to choose a different book (don’t worry…I just put it off until February), until I found out about this new Netflix series, Bridgerton. I’m always slightly behind the times when it comes to television shows, and I rarely watch anything simply for my own benefit. But this one sounds delicious. I’ve always been a fan of period dramas, and if a little sexy intrigue is mixed in, well…all the better, I say! I’m sort of a stickler for reading things before I watch their film or television adaptation, so I decided I’d better rush and get this one on the calendar so I can watch the…

Erotic Book Club – December 2020 Discussion
I don’t know about you, but I thought Ellie Mae MacGregor’s The Naughty List was an adorably sexy novella, and I look forward to more writing from her. I’ll be honest, I was originally drawn in by the fabulous cover art for this book. I’ve always found older, “silver fox” types hot, and while it seemed a bit silly to have an erotic tale about Santa, I was in the mood for something a bit comedic. It’s been a rough year for many of us, and ending the year with something short, funny, and sexy was just what the doctor ordered. This little story did not disappoint. At a short…

Book Review: Morning, Noon, and Night (ed. Alyson Tyler)
Cleis Press showers me with gifts on a regular basis. 15 erotic collections to be exact. And being the busy procrastinator that I am, I haven’t returned the love like I should have. Naughty me. So, for this review, I’m going to wax on and on and on…to make up for it. So, here it is, boys and girls…Alison Tyler has created a lovely little treasure trove with this collection. She has a gifted eye for the erotic and the literary…which make for a powerful combination in this satisfying read. First off, I think the theme and organization are fantastically creative. Each story combines with a time of day, beginning…
