    On the Twelfth Day of Christmas my Kindle brought to me…..

    Holiday Games by Jaci Burton!
    Holiday Games
    “A Riley wedding is in the works, a Riley Christmas means a house full of family, and baby making is on Liz Riley’s mind. Chasing Gavin around and meeting in dark closets can be fun, but Liz is more than a little determined. Even with family in every corner of the house, Gavin is more than ready to do whatever Liz wants—especially when sex is involved. It’s a Riley family Christmas.”

    Holiday Games is a Holiday Novella in the Play-by-Play Series by Jaci Burton.  We followed Liz and Gavin’s romance in Changing the Game, the second book in the Play-by-Play Series.  Liz doesn’t say “can’t”, she is a determined professional sports agent used to getting what she wants.  And in the book, with all of her friends and family getting married and having babies she wants a baby of her own, and she will have one even if she has to tie Gavin down to do it!  There is always something about a strong woman that works in a man’s world who lets her womanhood out once in a while that touches my heart.  Gavin has snark, but a heart of gold. Got to love that in a man!

    I highly recommend this series in general.  I can’t get enough!

    Book 1: The Perfect Play
    Book 2: Changing the Game
    Book 3: Taking A Shot

    On the Eleventh Day of Christmas my Kindle brought to me…..

    A Club Esoteria Christmas by Cooper McKenzie!
    “You are invited to Club Esoteria’s Christmas Party 
    Friday, December 23, 2011, 8 p.m. until ?
    Entertainment: A Sub’s Talent Show
    RSVP required; floggings will be administered to those who do not

    Antony returns from an eight-month deployment and wonders if Jenna will let him return for good. Gentry worries that he will be kicked out now that Antony is home. Whitney gets new toys for Christmas as Taurus pushes her boundaries. Sloan, Dane, and Merlin make their appearance though Sloan is seven and a half months pregnant. They leave early when Sloan goes into labor after she and Merlin dance for the talent show. Jackson is juggling bartending and keeping his lovely submissive satisfied. He grows more nervous about proposing but he is determined that she will marry him.

    Will Jenna let Antony back into her household? Will Sinclair agree to Jackson’s proposal? Will everyone have a spanking good Christmas party?”

    This is the Seventh Book in the Club Esoteria Series by Cooper McKenzie.  In this book we party BDSM style, as we catch up with those couples we were introduced to in the six prior books.  I have to admit I love Antony and Gentry. They are so caring and loving.  They tug on my heart strings.

    Not everyone enjoys stories about BDSM but my taste in books can go from Christian Romance to hard core BDSM Romances.  Remeber, here Love is Love.  As long as it is Safe, Sane and Consensual, then it is all romance to me.  Looking forward to the next book in this Series The Domme Who Wasn’t due out January 9, 2014.  This will be book 14 in the series.

    On the Eighth Day of Christmas my Kindle brought to me…..

    The Christmas Throwaway by RJ Scott
    “Christmas is a time for giving – what do you do when no one gives a damn? 


    For Zachary Weston Christmas means sleeping on a churchyard bench in the freezing snow with nothing better in his future. Thrown out of his home for being gay, he is left without money or, it seems, anywhere to go.

    Until a stranger shows him that some people do give a lot more than a damn.

    Ben Hamilton is a rookie cop in his small home town. He finds a young throwaway, fresh from the city, sleeping on a bench in the churchyard on a snowy Christmas Eve. Can he be the one to give Zachary his own Christmas miracle?”

    If you saw someone laying on a bench on Christmas, would you bring him/her home?  That is what Ben does. This is a touching story that will warm your heart and get you into the holiday spirit.

    Ciao!

    On the Seventh Day of Christmas, my Kindle brought to me…..

    Christmas Break by Jami Davenport

    “As a college football star and a waitress stave off cold loneliness through one hot holiday break, a passion begins that will carry them both all the way into the NFL.

    Striving to escape her past, reformed party girl and biker chick Aubrey Harper finds herself tending bar over Christmas break. Then her secret crush walks into the pub. 


    Star football player Braxton Davis has his own reasons for not going home, and when loneliness drives him to a bar near campus he finds tough-girl Aubrey mixing drinks and serving smartass comments. After one look, the two know they won’t be spending their Christmas alone. After a mysterious and devastating text message and a burnt hamburger lead to dinner, dessert, and two nights of passion, the rest of their lives look promising as well. This relationship is going all the way to the bigs.”


    This book is the first book in a spin off series to of Jami’s fantastic Lumberjack Series.  The only thing bad thing I can say about this book, is that it was wayyyyyyyyy too short!. 

    I cannot wait for the next book, Rookie Mistake in 2014!
