The Psychic and the Sleuth
Trusting a psychic flash might solve a mystery.and lead to love. Inspector Robert Court should have felt a sense of justice when a rag-and-bones man went to the gallows for murdering his cousin. Yet something has never felt right about the investigation. Robert's relentless quest for the truth has annoyed his superintendent, landing him lowly assignments such as foiling a false medium who's fleecing the wives of the elite. Oliver Marsh plays the confidence game of spiritualism, though his flashes of insight often offer his clients some comfort. Despite the presence of an attractive, if sneering, non-believer at a s‚ance, he carries on-and experiences a horrifying psychic episode in which he experiences a murder as the victim. There's only one way for Court to learn if the young, dangerously attractive Marsh is his cousin's killer or a real psychic: spend as much time with him as possible. Despite his resolve to focus on his job, Marsh somehow manages to weave a seductive spell around the inspector's straight-laced heart. Gradually, undeniable attraction overcomes caution. The two men are on the case, and on each other, as they race to stop a murderer before he kills again. Warning: Graphic language and hot male/male sex with light BDSM themes. Despite "Descriptions of Murderous Acts" perpetrated by an unhinged killer, resist the temptation to cover your eyes-you'll miss the good parts!

When Bonnie Dee and Summer Devon work together on a book, it becomes an automatic buy for me. I know anything that is co-authored by them together will sweep me up into the intricate lives of the characters and the fast paced storyline. So, when I noticed that the book, The Nobleman and the Spy was up to be reviewed, I anxiously requested it, and I’m glad I did. Not only did The Nobleman and the Sp

Seducing Stephen by Bonnie Dee and Summer Devon is a beautifully written love story that I hated to see come to an end. I was captivated with both heroes from the first page and I happily read the book through to the last page without interruption.
Lord Northrup, Earl of Stafford or Peter to his close friends has lived a somewhat cynical and colorless existence. As a young man he’d wi
A Hearing Heart
The heart conveys messages beyond what ears can hear.
After the death of her fiancé, Catherine Johnson, a New York schoolteacher in 1901, travels to Nebraska to teach a one-room school and escape her sad memories. One afternoon, violence erupts in the sleepy town. Catherine saves deaf stable hand, Jim Kinney, from torture by drunken thugs.
As she takes charge of his education, teaching him to read and sign, attraction grows between them. The warmth and humor in this silent man transcends the need for speech and his eyes tell her all she needs to know about his feelings for her. But the obstacles of class difference and the stigma of his handicap are almost insurmountable barriers to their growing attachment.
Will Catherine flout society’s rules and allow herself to love again? Can Jim make his way out of poverty as a deaf man in a hearing world? And together will they beat the corrupt robber baron who has a stranglehold on the town?
Romance, love and sensuality abound in this jam-packed, old-fashioned tale with plenty of heart and some steaming hot sex.

Prime Passions
When love reaches its prime, there’s no resisting the passion.
Sexual heat can’t be denied in this trio of tales about older women and the younger men who fall for them. In “Moving On” by Bonnie Dee a widow is seduced by a hot young moving guy and opens herself to the possibilities of life once more. When a repressed divorcee places an online sex ad in Veronica Wilde’s “No Strings Attached,” the young man who answers it unlocks her heart as well as her fantasies. In Vivien Dean’s “A Spark of Snow,” a burned out cop rediscovers more than her love for life when a gorgeous young teacher shows her passion doesn’t care about age.
Three women with experience to spare, three hot men with passionate hearts, three unforgettable stories of rebirth and second chance love.
No Strings Attached by Veronica Wilde:
Raised in a stifling religious environment, placing an online sex ad is something Corey Jamison never thought she’d do. But getting divorced has left her eager to explore her fantasies, particularly those kinky ones she’d be too embarrassed to tell a serious boyfriend. Finding a non-judgmental stranger to dominate her sounds like the perfect solution.
At twenty-six, Donovan Halloran is too young and too good-looking to take seriously. Naturally dominant, he seems like the perfect candidate to help her live out her secret desires. But their erotic adventures lead both of them into dangerous emotional territory--and soon Corey finds that Donovan has claimed her heart along with her body.
Moving On by Bonnie Dee:
Recently widowed, Camilla is moving to a new apartment, leaving her home of seventeen years to begin life as a single woman once more. She shares a moment of connection with Ryan, a handsome young moving man, which leads to an unexpected passionate encounter. In one erotically charged evening, everything changes and Camilla awakens to new possibilities in her life.
A Spark of Snow by Vivien Dean:
After fifteen years as a cop in LA’s Juvenile Division, Rachel Foley is burned out. Quitting doesn’t feel like a real option, so she takes a leave of absence to travel across the country and visit her sister. White Bluff, Illinois is a far cry from the urban lifestyle Rachel’s accustomed to, but a few weeks with family seems to be the break she’s looking for. All she wants is time to regroup. A gorgeous twenty-four year-old with a killer smile and a body too distracting for its own good should not be on her agenda. Even if that’s the only place he would like to be...

Being a woman of a certain age myself, I was excited to have an opportunity to read this book. And I’m glad I did. All three stories were wonderful. While cougar stories abound right now, these three were about more than just hot and sweaty sex with a sexy hard body (although that is included!).
Each woman was facing a crisis of a sort in her life, and her self-confidence or s
Butterfly Unpinned
Slavery was her refuge…now it's time to fly free.
Navajo woodworker Bryan Lapahie can't believe his luck. He's been hired to create sculptures for a wealthy photographer's wildly opulent mansion. Once inside, he finds his new boss is a man of many possessions--and an appetite for BDSM so extreme it makes Bryan's own Dominant tendencies look tame.
Of the four submissives enslaved at the mansion, it is quiet Butterfly who captures his interest. Her vulnerable beauty stirs his fantasies...and awakens his protective instincts.
Butterfly wanted only two things: to feel protected, and to satisfy her craving for hardcore kink. She found both... with the wrong guy. She'd almost forgotten how to be a normal person until a man with flowing dark hair enters the mansion. Suddenly, her safe haven is looking more and more like a prison, and all she can think about is breaking free--with Bryan.
To rescue her, Bryan is more than willing to lay everything on the line. But simply walking away isn't as easy as it seems...
Content Warning: Extreme masochistic tortures and degradation as well as joyful BDSM acts between loving partners.
