Strange Attractions by Emma Holly

Emma Holly’s books always push the envelope in terms of sexual exploration. You are either a reader that enjoys that or you are not. Strange Attractions is definitely a book the XXX reading fans will enjoy. I like reading about sexual encounters (the hotter the better) but I do also like a story incorporated as well. While this book does not have the best background story it was satisfying enough to justify all the sex. There is male on male, male/female, and a female/female encounter, so a little of everything for different preferences. I like all of Emma’s books I have read so far except for Fairyville, which I could not stand.

Synopsis (from alibris.com): Determined not to repeat her mother's mistakes, high school dropout Charity Wills jumps at the chance to attend college for free. However, she must travel to the estate of a reclusive physicist who likes to play sex games in this new work of erotica from the author of "Personal Assets."

Whether you love or hate this writing style one thing is for certain. This book is hot hot hot.

Deep, Dark, & Dangerous by Jaid Black

I usually like Jaid Blacks books, but found this one to be mediocre. While there were some hot loves scenes the actual story was blah. I did manage to read through the entire book. I also did not realize prior to reading this book that it is book 4 of Jaid’s, Vikings Underground series. Unless you are a diehard Jaid Black fan or just like books that offer sex with no real storyline, I would say skip this one. For me the Vikings voyage began and ended with this story.

Synopsis (from barnesandnoble.com):

A star in a world of wealth and privilege....
Fed up with Hollywood backstabbing, famous movie actress Madalyn Simon decided to escape the spotlight. Her new back-to-basics existence in an Alaskan cabin did take getting used to, but at least she was in control of her own destiny — or so she thought. While snowmobiling on the frigid coast with her sister, the pair is taken hostage by a band of rough men who want them — for reasons beyond imagining.

A captive in a world of inescapable seductions....
They are neo-Vikings from a hidden underworld, in search of women Outsiders to breed for the New Sweden clan. Their sexy leader, Otar, wants only one woman: Madalyn. Overpowered by his masculine strength and unmasked desire, Madalyn must become Otar's wife or face the marriage auction block. Now, in a world beyond dreams and as real as the hot flesh of her enticing warrior-husband, Madalyn discovers the power of an all-consuming passion — as the fires of revolution threaten all she has come to love....

My favorite thing about this book was the cover. That is some serious eye candy.
