Top Pick Review For Shifters & Demons

 Shifters & Demons The Vane Book 1
 Author: H.C. Brown
Genre: Paranormal Romance, GLBTQ,Ménage, Science Fiction, M/M,Shapeshifters
Reviewed by: Gabrielle
Dallin has been chosen by The Lady to be her champion. With Stryker at his side as lover and fighter, Dallin knows that he can face anything. When they find the spellweaver Lailii they know that she is their chosen mate and they will fight to the death to keep her safe from the demons and more. Yet it seems that it is not only the demons that wish to harm Lailii. A threat may come from closer than they imagine. Will Dallin and Stryker be able to save Lailii from all who wish her harm before all is lost?
I really enjoyed this adventure into the magical world of the Prides. Dallin and Stryker are great men and the love that they share is strong. They care deeply for one another and when they meet Lailii they want to include her in their bond. She may be small but Lailii is a strong woman who will fight to protect those that she cares for. I loved seeing the love grow between the three of them. As they fight not only the demons but also those at home that wish them harm, the three stand by each other and fight together. Always trusting in each other and knowing that they have a bond that cannot be broken, no matter what happens.
H. C. Brown has quickly become a favorite author for me. Her characters are always full of depth and emotion and this book does not disappoint. Shifters and Demons is a great mix of magic and romance with a good dose of adventure making this a book that should be on everyone’s to be read pile.

About The Book: Fane Jacobs, or 636, is a genetically and robotically enhanced human, trapped on Terros 9 in 3010 with a psychopathic owner, Gryd. His duty is to entertain Gryd's guests with his skill with the whip and his twin cocks. Denied satisfaction, his dreams are filled with the image of a sweet sub. Cyborgs have no rights on Terros 9. After his friend, Jace, is pack-raped by a group of male guests, Fane and Jace steal a starship, and travel back in time to Earth in 2040. Jace goes looking for a night with the right man, while Fane explores the city. He goes to the aid of a woman being attacked and is shot. The woman resembles the sub from his dreams. What will happen when the woman, Dr. Tamara Bright, discovers his integrated neural matrix and other enhancements on the Bio Scanner? Will she turn away or will she fall for the deliciously, handsome cyborg?

The Review:
This was a wonderful story about love and trust. When Cyborgs Fane and Jace escape from a cruel world they end up on Earth in the year 2040. While out late one night Fane comes across a woman in distress. Tamara a doctor volunteering at a clinic is being attacked. While saving her, Fane is hurt and must trust Tamara to keep his secret.

I was pulled into this story right from the start. Fane and Jace are great men; even though they are cyborgs they still retain their humanity. I enjoyed getting to know both of them and watching the relationship grow between Fane and Tamara.

Tamara is a feisty woman who can and does stand on her own two feet. She proves this when the government takes her in for questioning after finding information on Fane at her clinic. Yet she still yearns to be a submissive and finds herself going to a BDSM club to slack her needs. Little does she know that Fane is a Dom and continues to push him away. Luckily Fane is a man who is willing to fight for what he wants and Tamara’s love is just what he wants. I loved seeing the love grow between Tamara and Fane. The two must learn to trust each other and depend on that trust to get them through alive.

Not only are the main characters a great couple but we also get to meet wonderful secondary characters in this book as well and I hope that they get their own stories. Cyborg Doms: Fane is a great read and I hope a wonderful start to a new series from this author.

Great Review for Bite Here Too

BITE HERE TOO by Stormy Glenn & H.C. Brown

Bite Here Too by Stormy Glenn & H.C. Brown
Anthology, sequel
Noble Romance
Paranormal M/M – BDSM
ISBN: 978-1-60592-176-1
Reviewed by Lisa





“Blood Sacrifice” by Stormy Glenn
Hitting the tourist spots in England Jordan ‘Jordy’ Daniels talks his two friends into seeing Stonehenge. One minute they are spending an evening at a nearby pub, the next Jordy wakes up in some kind of crypt hanging alongside his friends. Robed figures enter the room chanting followed by bloodletting. Because Jordy has knowledge of the occult he’s sure that they’re in big trouble when a cloud of black smoke rises and a seven foot demon appears. This is not the vacation that Jordy had in mind.

First comes the scary then comes the unexpected twist of fate in “Blood Sacrifice”. There’s unholy mating, hot sex scenes, and a major dose of miscommunication for Jordy and a demon. “Blood Sacrifice” packs a lot in a little bit and it’s all sizzling, entertaining good times.


“Enslaved” by H.C. Brown
At long last Chase Drake accepts who he is, a gay man. With that in mind Chase travels to Stonehenge to shout out his affirmation on All Hallows Eve. But his GPS screws up and the car breaks down. Seeing a beacon of some sort in the distance Chase walks on and meets a strange fellow named Si. He agrees to go with Si, but what happens next makes Chase wonder if he’s hallucinating from exposure or if all his wishes are coming true with a mysterious being from the Pride.

Hot enough to melt a snow bank;Enslaved” is incredibly erotic and very unique. Chase has his desires met and manages to cope extremely well in an alien setting. But understanding that Chase loves being a sub still doesn’t make sense for him to go from corporate lawyer to slave with only a slight whimper. Having said that, “Enslaved” is so sensuous, so intensely orgasmic the pages literally flame and it’s hard to put down untill the end. I’d love to hear more about the Pride, please.


Bite Here Too will make you squirm in your seat – it’s that wickedly carnal. The characters are primal and bold. Both stories are refreshingly unique and riveting. There are some bumps in the storylines, but it won’t stop you from enjoying Bite Here Too. Promise.

Great Review for Love Revisited Nash & Paul


MR Review
Rating:
Reviewer: AlexJouJou
Review:

Nash is the big bad sexy Dom from theDominate Me story in Flogger’s Holiday Sale. He found his perfect sub in Paul—a newbie to the BDSM scene. Although a side story, the history of how they met and came to be together was very well done in Flogger’s Holiday Sale. From the beginning Nash has been a bit afraid of living again—of loving another sub. While he was very attracted to Paul right away it did take some work for them to get together. In Love Revisited, we get to see what happens next—after the rosy glow of the first few months has worn off. Now Nash and Paul live together and enjoy a committed relationship. So when Nash’s fellow Dom Rio asks him for help with a new sub, in spite of grave reservations, he agrees. Now that he’s agreed to the contract how will he explain this to Paul? And what is going to happen if he cannot make Paul understand?

Although this is a short little interlude I was very happy to see what was up with one of my favorite Dom’s Nash. There is something about a tall, strong, silent type Dom that is so appealing. Although you could read this as a stand-alone, I don’t know why you would whenFlogger’s Holiday Sale is such a good read and will provide you with all the background on how Nash and Paul got together. Although I was fond of Nash before it is true that he was not available emotionally in the earlier work but here I felt the author really let his feelings be explored. He became much more fleshed out and full to me and I felt more for him. The only comment I have is that I wish this had been longer—I got much more attached to Nash in this one! Love Revisited begs the question that many of us have faced in the past: how do you fix something you’ve caused and help the one you’ve hurt heal?

Cyborg Doms:Fane Review from MR


MR Review
Rating:
Reviewer: AlexJouJou
Review:

Fane and Jace are cyborgs who “work” for Gryd—a corrupt mob like character with a bark AND a bite. He has the two men basically as sex slaves who are dominants but Fane and Jace have figured out how to work with their artificial parts to override key areas. They know their time is limited and manage to escape going back in time through a wormhole to an earth that would just want to dissect them if anyone found out they were from the future.

On earth Fane meets a woman that he’s had dreams about—a doctor—and realizes she is the woman for him. Tamara’s not so sure about the whole cyborg from the future concept. She also harbors a secret desire to be dominated and even goes to a BDSM club to get familiar with what being a submissive involves. When the situation turns dire, it is Fane and Jace to the rescue. When it is their turn to need some rescuing will they be able to escape their future in the past?

Cyborg Doms combines two of my favorite genres within erotica, Sci-Fi and BDSM, so I eagerly picked this one up. H.C. Brown is one of my favorite erotica authors—although I’ve read mostly the male/male books she has written. I love the concept of cyborgs and humans and adding the dominant/submissive relationship enriches the story for me measurably. Although the book starts off at a brisk pace it soon slows down enough for you to catch up though I did wish it was a bit longer with more explanation of Tamara’s past and how Fane and Jace became cyborgs. I enjoyed how Tamara and Fane’s relationship developed and grew and how Jace continued to be integrated into the story leading you as the reader to want to read his story next!

As far as the more kinky aspects they are very mild and fit entirely within the story and seem very natural. They are also well written—not too much or too strong—and comes off as authentic to the characters. I loved the conversations that happened telepathically because I find that allows the author to provide a very unique voice for the character that really enriches the story. It also makes for much more exciting reading—keeping the reader involved to follow what is happening.

I eagerly await Jace’s story—one I hope is capable of really delving into his character because he is the more humorous and carefree character so I just know he’s got a lot bottled up inside!

OUT NOW- Love Revisited- Nash & Paul From Floggers' Holiday Sale



Blurb:
Everything is going well for badass dom, Nash Mage, and his sweet sub, Paul, until Nash does a favor for Rio, the owner of Floggers' BDSM Club.
Expecting Paul to trust him implicitly, Nash's world falls apart when he finds his confused, innocent sub in the arms of his nemesis, Frank. Teetering on the edge of sanity and out of control, Nash is looking for revenge.


Excerpt
Nash Mage snuggled against Paul's back. To think a couple of months ago he would never have contemplated the idea of spooning a sub. He slipped his heavy shaft between Paul's legs and buried his face in the soft skin of the man's neck. He loved his sub's scent, especially after a night of hard sex. He kissed his neck and licked a path to his ear, suckled the ear lobe. God, he could not get enough of the taste of Paul—or of fucking his sweet, innocent sub until the man screamed out Nash's name in ecstasy.
Running his hand down Paul's arm, he reveled at the touch of his lover's smooth skin against his palm. He cupped Paul's small, muscular buttock and smiled. The sub's ass carried the marks of his whip. His lover's moans of delight still rang in his ears. Nash rolled away, took a condom from the bedside table, and slipped it on. He put on his stern dom face and rolled Paul onto his back. He pushed between the man's legs, and took a firm grasp of both his sub's nipple rings. "Wake up, slave."
"You're insatiable . . . master." Paul yawned and opened his eyes. "My ass is still tingling from our session at Floggers." His mouth curled up at the corners. "You hurt me real good."
"Lift your legs. I want to see your ass." Nash rolled back on his knees. Taking Paul's ankles, he pushed the man's legs up to chest. "Higher . . . yeah, like that . . . . there's a good boy. Now, that's a sweet sight. Hold onto your knees, I wanna lick that cute ass all over."
Nash gazed down at Paul's tight star, still glossy with lube. The sight of his sweet sub, legs up and helpless, in the swing at Floggers flashed into his mind. Fuck, all that prime ass just hanging there waiting for his attention. Oh yeah, that image would keep him hard for a fucking week. He bent to lick the deep, red lines covering his sub's smooth skin. His balls ached with the desperate desire to fill Paul. He pressed one last kiss on his sub's balls, then drew away. With a growl, he met Paul's smoldering gaze. "Tell me what you want."
"I want you, Nash . . . fuck me 'til I scream."
"I think you need some manners, slave." With one hard thrust of his hips, Nash sank to the balls inside Paul's slippery hole. He gazed into Paul's startled expression. "We're going back to Floggers tonight, so I can continue your education."
* * * * *
Paul gasped. His ass exploded into ecstasy. The studs on Nash's cock grazed across his pleasure spot, making him cry out with the intensity. Hell, he craved Nash's touch. His master knew exactly what he needed and drove into him hard without mercy. The bond between them had grown into more than master and slave. Paul loved Nash with a passion that frightened him. The man was complicated; he lived on the edge and carried a history of broken trust. Paul moaned and gazed into Nash's midnight eyes. When his master fucked him, the delicious man turned into a mythical god. All tense muscle and golden skin, long, silken, black hair framing his handsome face . . . the passion in the man's eyes alone could bring Paul to climax. He could trust Nash with his body—why did he have trouble trusting him with his heart?
* * * * *
Nash lowered Paul's legs and lay on his sub's damp body. In the last couple of minutes, Paul's demeanor had changed. Rocking his hips slowly, Nash bent to kiss his lover. Paul's passionate response melted his heart. The first buzz of lust that hit him the day they met in Floggers had moved up to a new level. For the first time in his life, he considered making this a permanent relationship—yeah—badass dom, Nash Mage, needed this man in his life—go figure. He wanted Paul to feel the same way about him, but he had his doubts. This had not been the first time he'd noticed Paul's sudden withdrawal during sex. Maybe Paul had tired of him and wanted to move on. The thought of anyone else touching his virgin made his blood boil. They needed to talk, but first, he would satisfy his lusty sub. Brushing a damp curl from Paul's cheek, he met his sub's gaze. "You okay . . . not too sore? I know I've been riding you all night."
"I can never have enough of you." Paul lifted his chin. "Ride me to hell, master."
