Angel once believed her soul belonged to the Devil. Now she willingly gives every part of her—mind, body and soul—to the man whose love mends her a little more each day.

Ethan knows Hell is no place for an angel, especially not his Angel. He would sacrifice his soul every day of his life in order to save hers. Fuelled by an almost obsessive desire, their need for each other ignites a passion that most couples could find destructive, but instead the flames of their possessive vigilance only seem to feed the fire of their insatiable hunger. The slaying of Ethan’s demons has made their fortress of love stronger than ever.

But Angel continues to paper over the cracks of her troubled past, running from the demons that chase her and the nightmares that plague her. When a twist of fate forces her to confront them, she finally begins to accept that her repressed memories need to be explored in order to attain the peace she craves.

But in her search for Nirvana, Angel discovers far more than buried memories. What happens when the worst nightmare you’ve ever encountered is the one you wake up in? When the past comes face to face with the present to reveal a web of diseased secrets and lies?
And the only road you can take leads to one destination … Hell.

BFN-Excerpt

“Angel?” Ethan’s low, husky tones startled me. He stood in the doorway wearing nothing but a pair of low-slung, faded jeans, the sight of him inciting my taste buds to drool desirously, like chocolate melting on my tongue. “Come here,” he instructed.

 Obeying instantly, I unfurled my legs and moved across the room toward him.  He gazed at me, his expression still inscrutable, and then slowly he moved around to my back. “Close your eyes.”

 Again, I complied without hesitation. I felt something soft brush gently against my eyelids, a smooth, silky fabric blocking out all remaining light as it tightened against my skin. He was blindfolding me. My heart struck my chest wall with a sudden instinctive foretaste of what was to come. The blindfold, his insistence that I wear my red shoes, his near-naked form in the doorway, suggested only one thing. But his talk of my needing to learn a lesson, his tone, and impenetrable mood hinted at something different. Nonetheless, my skin prickled with eager expectation as I waited for my next instruction in the darkness behind my eyelids.

 Suddenly, his voice startled me. He was closer than I’d imagined, his breath warm against my ear, his smell … exquisite. “How does that make you feel?” Misreading the question, I nodded to let him know I was okay.

 “No, Angel. Tell me how it makes you feel.” His voice was slightly harsher than before, more demanding. I thought about what he wanted me to say, trying to tune in to the sensations I was feeling, but struggling.

“Restricted,” I said finally.

 “Anything else?” He’d shifted, his lips grazing the lobe of my other ear now.

 “Dependent.”

 “Think beyond the blindfold.”

My mind searched for the answer, and then after a beat I whispered, “Aware. I feel more aware.”

 “Of what?”

 “You.”

 “What is it about me you’re more aware of?”

 “How close you are … Your scent.”

 “My scent? And what does it smell like?”

 Hesitating, I scrambled for words to try and describe it, eventually arriving at, “You.”

 I felt him smile briefly against my cheek and then he was gone.

Order Bound for Nirvana Here!



When I read the first book Bound For Hell in March,
 I fell instantly in love with Angel and Ethan. 
Their first encounter which lead to smoking hot sex 
in a closet with no spoken words between them, 
was intriguing and I could feel their lust for each other. 
The "one night stand" wasn't enough for either of them and turned into a relationship. Where two people learn about each other. 
But still with a lot of baggage from their past hiding beneath the surface. 
Which continues to be resolved and confronted in the second book Bound For Salvation.

And now here we are with the final book in the trilogy Bound For Nirvana. This was and had everything I needed and wanted in a book and in a series. There still was a lot of unanswered questions about Angel's past that were solved and answered to perfection. 

But besides that this book is about Angel and Ethan's relationship and their step forward toward a future together. Still Angel's fears played a huge role but with reason. She has experienced a huge loss when she was a child and it still effects her as an adult. It's haunting and scary to witness how deeply traumatized Angel really is. 

Ethan was just the perfect rock and support. 
His alpha and possessiveness was just the right amount and
 I could feel his enduring love for Angel. 
I just loved him and his huge heart. 
Sex also played a very important role in their relationship. 
They loose themselves in each other and every scene felt honest and raw. 
Kendra Leigh sure knows how to write some beautiful yet steamy as hell scenes. 
I could feel their love and angst jump off from the pages.

I'm so happy and delighted that I picked up this Trilogy. 
There's so much more to this story. 
The characters are well developed and so is the story. 
The characters grew with each book and so did my love. 
If this trilogy was Kendra Leigh's first books, 
then I'm very excited for her future releases. 
I'm already waiting.

Cover of Bound For Hell, Book 1 of the Bound Trilogy by Kendra Leigh


Ethan Wilde. Billionaire. Business Man. Passionate. Powerful. Persistent.
One of New York’s most eligible bachelors.

Angel Lawson. Photographer. Gallery Owner. Burdened. Beautiful. Broken.
A woman bound by the ropes of her sins and forgotten past, fearful of her future.

A chance encounter…
Consumed by guilt and tormented by the bonds of a tragic past, Angel Lawson’s life has been a solitary journey, condemned to live without love. In order to preserve her damaged soul from further rejection, sex is as close to a man as she ever plans to get. She was already hell-bound for her sins. One more wasn’t going to hurt ... ... or so she thought.

When a passionate encounter throws her into the world of Ethan Wilde, Angel is helpless to resist the irrefutable desire and depth of raw emotion he ignites in her. Ethan is as intense as he is sinfully sexy. Irretrievably captivated by Angel, he seems just as intent on understanding her naked soul as he is desperate to possess every inch of her naked body. Angel craves his touch like a drug and yearns for the love he promises, but surrendering to the feelings he’s unearthed will mean exposing her fears and releasing the demons buried for a lifetime. Exposing her heart will leave it at risk of being broken. Will Angel choose to leave her life of solitude behind, or is the choice no longer hers?

Ethan Wilde is used to getting what he wants … and what he wants is Angel.

Hell was hot, but the flames of deliverance might be the ones to burn …

For the first time in living memory, Angel Lawson feels cherished. Ethan Wilde has taught her that love is possible for all, even the sinners among us. The bonds of his love free her from the shackles of her guilt. Inch by inch, he’s slid under her skin, folding himself around her soul like a soothing blanket. His love nourishes her starving heart, and his passion fuels the scorching flames of her deepest desires, driving her to the blissful edge of sweet insanity. Brick by brick, she tears down the protective wall she’s built around her heart, and the ice inside begins to thaw. To Ethan, Angel is the sole reason he exists, the blood in his veins, the drug to his addiction. He vows to mend her, to help her confront her demons and come to terms with a buried past that continues to haunt her. But what lies beneath the surface of Ethan’s past? Pasts left hidden to rot become dirty secrets. Secrets that can tear even the strongest love apart.

And secrets have a habit of revealing themselves when least expected ...

All I’ve ever had is myself. I can’t tell you who I am, where I came from, or who I’m fucking made of. I was ripped from the only happy I’d ever known, but I can’t recall what it was…I just know part of me is now void, left hollow.


How do you know who you are if you don’t even know your own flesh and blood?
How do you trust those in your life, when the deception lies among you? 
How do you know if you don’t belong if you’re in the only place you’ve ever called home? 
There was nothing I could do but survive…in my own way. 
This is my story…this is Where the Ivy Hides. 
**This is a Kimber S. Dawn work of fiction—Tread carefully ONLY if you're over 18 and can't be accused of being faint at heart.***

5 STARS~ Breathe by C.D. Reiss



He was the dream I never knew I had until he claimed me. The kinky billionaire who wanted to give pain as much as I wanted to receive it. He’d marked me as his own and I accepted him. I trust him completely. I swear I do. 
But, now things are getting complicated. I have a career, and he has his claim. How far is he going to go to mark me? And am I going to run or stay? 
WARNING: This novella has some of Jonathan and Monica’s roughest encounters. That's how they like it! 
*This takes place after he reclaims her in the studio, and before the second wedding. If you already love them, they're hotter than ever!



This short novella was a really quick read. Only because I love and adore 
The Submission Series, 
which is where 
Jonathan and Monica are from. 
I devoured it in one take, although at times I had to take a breather. 
It was that steamy 
but in a very erotic way.

My god! 
These two are perfect 
and compliment each other in every way. 
As rough and brutal as Jonathan can be in their "scenes", when he's dominating Monica, He can be as loving, caring and supporting afterwards. 
Monica loves her pain and to feel/receive it. That she's able to give that to 
Jonathan as a gift, is her way of being a strong and confident woman. 
They really understand 
each other and their needs. 

"I owned him. I made this beautiful man gasp in my ear. His pleasure was mine, and my pain was his."

C.D. Reiss really knows 
how to write erotica. 
It's dirty 
but in a very erotic
 and arousing way. 
I really hope this isn't the last 
I've heard of Jonathan and Monica. 
Their relationship is so unique and beautiful. Full of admiration, love and respect. 
But no matter what I will still read everything C.D. Reiss releases, cause she's just that good of an author.

4Stars~Savage Town by Kathleen Kelly




Title: Savage Town
Series: Savage Angels MC #3
Author: Kathleen Kelly
Genre: MC, Contemporary/Erotic Romance
 Release Date: September 25, 2015




Tourmaline is set to host the wedding of the century.

Everyone is in town to witness rocks' wild child, Kat Saunders, marry Savage Angels MC President, Dane Reynolds.

Love is in the air, and even the VP, Jonas, has been roped into helping with the impending nuptials.

The Savage Angels MC are fierce, loyal and will do anything to protect their own, but what if 'anything' is simply not enough?

Visit Tourmaline to experience the gut wrenching, unimaginable danger that threatens to destroy everyone's chance of a happily ever after.


I love a good MC book.  
You know your gonna get
 some tatted, 
hot,  
cocky bastards! 
This is book 3 in the Savage Angels MC series and that is certainly some of what you get. 
I hadn't read any of the other books, but was able to follow along just fine.  
I do think it would have 
helped me with a little more 
background info on the characters.  
What I thought was pretty fantastic 
was the story was mainly about Dane and Kat, but it's told from several perspectives.  
It's like taking a 
360 ° virtual tour 
and getting to know more than just 2 characters.   
It was fucking awesome. 

DANE & KAT were explosive! 

He twists my hair in his fist, making me arch backwards and growls, “Tell me you’ve missed me, tell me you fucking want this as much as I fucking do.”“I’ve missed you, baby,” I say breathlessly.

*fans self* see what I mean.  
I have to say I didn't expect to have an MC prez hook up with a famous musician. 
Very original. 
The story flowed very well and
 I  flew through this book. 
I can't wait to read the other 2 books 
to see how Dane and Kat 
got to where they are.
