The author is a good writer in that she knows how to properly write a narrative. The problem was her characters were totally unbelievable. I found absolutely nothing attractive or redeemable about a lead "Dom" who likes to watch his Sub hurt or be in pain. From what I understand if that lifestyl...
This book was recommended to me by both readers and the author, Annabel Joseph. And when that happens, you have to read the book! I liked this book for it's storyline and vivid imagery. This book really stretched my thinking. Meaning, I have always considered myself a submissive, but this story...
Once again, Annabell Joseph does a wonderful job! Her writing style is one which I crave everytime I open a new book. It's fluid, discriptive and keeps me wanting more. The story as a whole (Molly's Lips and Burn for You) is a wonderful romance and a story of self-exploration for anyone intereste...
Kyle is so sweet - he's like the complete opposite from Jeremy!! I really liked this book..it was touching.Carissa is a famous cellist - child prodigy - sheltered - her life is music. Kyle is trying to get his life back on a good path after everything that happened to him while working for Jeremy...
BDSM is not a genre I typically read, in fact I think this was the first one (I've never even read Fifty Shades), but I was drawn in by the good reviews and the fact that it involved ballet dancers which is not often done (or not enough for me). The book was really well written with compelling c...
Oh this book is exciting. I love good books with a plot around harems or sex slaves. I also really enjoy Joseph's writing style: one chapter will be from his point of view, the next from hers. It makes me feel so close to the characters. For me her books are intense , captivating and I develope d...
I really like the story, so re-reading it was inevitable, and it was nice to see if the viewpoint of Mephisto was what it seemed from Molly's viewpoint. For the most part it was, just a few differences, but that only illustrated Molly's depthI liked Molly's side much better, adjusting to someone ...
I loved Kyle from Comfort Object. I'm so glad AJ decided to write a book on Kyle! Kyle is an incredible man. Having gone through some major ups and downs in his life, he straightens himself out with his friend and former employer, Jeremy's help. He takes a job to look after Caressa, a famous ...
I really enjoyed this story! This author's other BDSM couple stories that I have read have had heroes who couldn't admit to loving the heroine for angsty reasons, but Daniel has no problems with admitting to being in love with Wednesday from the get go which was refreshing. Wednesday was the one ...
It's a fascinating tale of circus and courage, grief and discovery. I loved the setting and the writing. The characters are a surprising blend of contradictions and teasing glimpses into normalcy. They work together well even though they seem to be the complete opposite. The setting coupled with ...
I would rate this story a solid four stars. The story and characters were well developed. The author took her time letting the relationship between the two characters develop rather than forcing it early on. I don’t know a lot about ballet, but the ballet side of the story seemed really well r...
After reading Annabel Joseph's newest "spanking" novel, Taming Lady Townsend, I downloaded this one expecting a book as good as that one. Sadly, I was disappointed. Most of this book, I felt, was disciplined spanking that almost bordered on abuse as opposed to pleasure/pain spanking that done for...
This is one of the "darker" bdsm romances that I've read. Darker in the sense of twisted and not kinky. This story shows the darker side and dangers of the BDSM lifestyle. How the sub can be so easily manipulated and abused.The characters were very much likable, the story plot was good but I didn...
First it was an extra, brightly colored coffee cup in the drainer beside his. Then it was her art, spilling from her corner in his living room onto side tables and windows, and even his blank, neutral walls. He kept his home uncluttered because he liked his mind uncluttered. She couldn’t seem to ...
He saw all the hands coming up to hide whispers. Everyone knew by now that Baat had a problem with alcohol and that Sara had stayed quiet about it. He wanted to protect her, to explain her side of things, but the only real explanation was that she’d messed up. He’d punished her because he had to,...
Duncan knew it was his fault, that he’d been confusing her by demanding wildly varying levels of obedience. Duncan watched as she dawdled at undressing. Then, as he’d suspected, she chose not to drop to her knees when he indicated she should. Outside the air was heavy and charged. The beautiful b...
All must be in good order for the duke, excepting his own wife, whom he seemed to believe a lost cause. He had told her to get out. She knew he hadn’t meant it, that he had only been ranting and waving his arms in anger. She was still leaving. Tonight. She squirmed out of her gown by pure determi...
She had prettier dresses, and fancier ones, but she wasn’t out to get noticed—she needed to blend in. She flicked her synthetic black hair over her shoulder, then reached one last time to be sure all her real hair was hidden beneath the tight cap of the wig. Theater wigs were great because they w...
Simon had sent seventeen messages between two and four A.M. Come home, Chere Where a u Im to high Ser Yes, when he was high, he forgot how to spell my name. That wasn’t unusual. But the last message read, Ths is the end, and that terrified me out of my luxurious hotel room and into a taxi. The en...
She arched her hips so he would touch her there, in that lovely place he had helped her discover. So warm, so wet… She tossed her head from side to side. So intense. The sensation was so intense she almost couldn’t bear it. She tried to close her legs but they were pressed open again. I want you,...
Price gave orders to the driver in Norwegian, but all I recognized was the name of the hotel. Maybe he told him to hurry. I wanted the driver to hurry before I regained my sanity. Not that I thought Price would allow me to backtrack at this point. He held my hand until the cab pulled up at the ho...
The subtle musk of lovemaking still lingered in the air, along with the scent of her soft, alluring hair. They must have fallen asleep after their sensual exertions. He needed to rise and fetch her a douceur for her willing company, and send her on her way. In a moment. First he groaned and press...
Breathe. Breathe. Damn, she couldn’t breathe. She blamed it on the industrial-strength shaping undergarment under the gauzy, floor-length, jade-colored gown she wore. How about those drinks, Mason had asked when he called the week before. But not drinks at a bar or restaurant. Mason Cooke was tak...
She spent the next couple days partly with Vinod and partly in the museums and artistic quarters of Paris, while I languished in conference meetings. I say I languished, but the truth was, I lived for international architecture, and appreciated the privilege of sitting on these panels and discuss...
McCarthy?” Ryan turned to see one of the neuro nurses poking her head in the door. “Yes, Kelly?” “Did you want to sign off on Mr. Bellman’s papers?” “I don’t believe I need to.” “Oh.” She feigned confusion, double-checked the papers. Ryan was already turning around, trying to refocus on his work....
Blocks and blocks along city sidewalks, but no one stopped me to ask if I was all right, which was just as well, because I’m not sure how I could have explained to them. When I got home, I crawled into bed. I pulled myself together for work the next afternoon. I didn’t tell Grégoire what had happ...
