Milan's notorious playboy, Massimo Tittoni, seems to have everything--Lamborghinis, exotic women, palaces throughout Europe and business success. Ramping up his fabric company to go global with a new apparel brand, he ruthlessly stops supplying fabrics to the American client who inspired the collection. But once they meet, what's he willing to give to get her in his bed?

Upper East Side designer Lex Easton will be damned if she'll let an Italian stud muffin knock her down. So what if she named her favorite vibrator after him. With Fashion Week approaching, she'll do whatever it takes to secure the fabrics she needs to become the next Diane von Furstenburg-- even sleep with her rival. Lex's Louboutins stilettos are dug in deep to win this war.

Avery Aster's super-glossy debut novel is loaded with passionate escapism, pitting American ambition against Italian tradition. Erotic romance fans who appreciate extended sex scenes, witty banter and glamour mustn't miss Undressed

25 New Yorker Insights Revealed After Reading Undressed by Avery Aster

Sex 

§  Your vajayjay can take a guy’s cock 'n' balls…at the same time.

§  Always name your butt plug after Anderson Cooper.

§  Pre-ejaculation while jetting a plane over Italy causes turbulence.

§  Never let a dog sleep in your bed, especially three dogs. It’ll ruin your sex life.

§  If he’s as hung as an Evian bottle, it’s best to look away

Money 

§  Always retain the legal services of female lawyers, particularly ones named; Sarah Goldbaum and Hannah Goldstein.

§  Never allow your mother to spend your line of credit on a psychic from the Caribbean.

§  Sexual frustration leads to good business practices, enough to earn three hundred million dollars.

§  If Bergdorf’s, Barney’s and Saks Fifth Avenue reject your upcoming fashion collections try selling it to JCPenny’s or Kmart.

§  Use your American Express reward points wisely. You never know when you'll need to jet.

Life 

§  Bellini cocktail consumption will induce foot fetishes.

§  Swedish Fish, Now & Later, and Gummy Bears from Dylan’s Candy Bar are perfect for your fuck-it bucket.

§  Everyone should be so lucky to have a best friend like Taddy Brill.

§  Never drive a Ford Thunderbird off a cliff thinking you’re Thelma & Louise.

§  Stay away from any woman named Scilla or Ottavia.

Fashion 

§  Wearing Tory Burch ballet flats while racing a sports car may cause ones clitoris to hum.

§  Think twice before sitting Lady Gaga and Madonna next to one another at your fashion show.

§  Prada and a condom, when worn together, are known to make bisexual men go bonkbuster cra-cra.

§  Altering a vintage Valentino dress, formerly worn by socialite Nati Abascal, may land you on the red carpet.

§  We should all get "f'd" in Fendi.

Love 

§  When in love, you can have as many orgasms as you like…in one day!

§  Slow dancing to Giuseppe Verdi enhances one’s emotional state.

§  Don't argue with your lover in public, above all—never in front of Anna Wintour, Marc Jacobs, or Karl Lagerfeld.

§  Playing Simon Says, in bed, may lead one to reveal their true feelings. So will strip dancing in front of him to the song Girls, Girls, Girls by Mötley Crüe.

§  And finally, he must always say, “I love you,” first.

Book Review: Up Close and Personal by J.S. Taylor

Contemporary Erotica

Actress and director. The stage is set for passion...

Drama-school graduate Isabella Green wants to be a script-writer. But when she meets famous director James Berkeley, she’s tempted into the glamorous world of acting.

Behind the camera, the mysterious Berkeley commands discipline at all times. But Isabella soon discovers his dominant male tendencies also extend into the dressing room.

Suddenly Isabella is discovering a side of herself she never knew existed. But she is also learning more about the alluring James Berkeley. Is his desperate past something she can help heal? Or will the flames of passion consume them both when the cameras start rolling?

Lights, camera, action...

My Review:

So What can I say? I'm a sucker for the innocent girl who gets tangled up with a much more experienced man who's emotions are hard to read and has a weakness for her for a reason even he doesn't understand. Yes, just like the author says, readers of 50 shades and the like will definitely love this story. 

The major difference? J.S. Taylor manages to keep with the theme while adding in her own unique story line. I love the fact that Isabella is an aspiring screen-writer who is on an audition she does not expect to get the part for. This is just something to appease a friend. But when she meets Berkeley who is just supposed to be a financial part of the movie and not actually handle the casting. The chemistry between the two is palpable from the beginning. 

I personally loved the fact that Berkeley was married and Isabella had to wade through her emotions about that and see if he was telling her the truth about the marriage being that of a publicity only one. 

Berkeley is very dominant and knows what he wants and even knows what Isabella wants when she's not sure herself. This story is left unfinished like others of its kind. We know Berkeley has secrets, but have really had no light shed on them as of yet. I can not wait to see what the next one has to bring.

Book Review: Raid by Kristen Ashley

Contemporary Romance/Erotic

Date Published: 2/28/2013

Hanna Boudreaux has lived in the small town of Willow, Colorado all her life. The great-granddaughter of the town matriarch, she's sweet, cute and quiet.

Too quiet.

Hanna has a moment of epiphany when she realizes her crush for forever, Raiden Ulysses Miller, is not ever going to be hers. She sees her life as narrow and decides to do something about it.

Raiden Miller is the town of Willow's local hero. An ex-marine with the medal to prove his hero status, he comes home, shrouded in mystery. It takes a while but, eventually, Hanna catches his eye.

But after all these years of Raid and Hanna living in the same town, the question is, why? Is Raid interested in Hanna because she's sweet and cute? Or does Raid have something else going on?

This has some BDSM

My Review:

Okay, so let me start off by saying Kristen Ashley is single-handedly responsible for creating my favorite Heroes EVER. She seriously has all of my top 5. The first book I read by her was Mystery Man and OMG it blew me away. While I have loved all of her other books, I've been waiting for another one to knock me off my feet and this one was it! 

RAID is seriously right up there with HAWK. Loved his Alphaness and really thought he is one of her best! I love the fact that this story focused on the girl who had a crush on the guy who didn't know she existed and then BAM, she gets his attention, but is it genuine? 

Hanna and Raids chemistry is off the charts. HOT and Kristen Ashley steps into a bit of a different world a bit taking her ALPHA hero a bit further and giving him some BDSM type tendencies. 

Can we please get some DEACON next? I love his mystery and lone wolf style. Can't wait to see what his story would entail! 

Blog Tour: Corporate Affairs by Q. Malone

Erotic Romance Novella

Date Published: 2/12/13

Powerhouse project manager, Kyra Benson, loves her new job. If only her domineering boss wasn’t the bane of her existence and a boon to her fantasies. An office affair is out of the question, even though he's the sexiest thing she's been around in years. If she’s going to keep her job and save her team, she’ll need to meet him on common ground…and find a way to protect her heart.

X2 Games CEO, Bryan Ross, has devoted his life to his company. The last thing he needs is to get sidetracked by a strong-willed, demanding woman who thinks she knows more about his business than he does. Even if he can’t get Kyra out of his head, she’s the one person who can save his business. But is he’s willing to make her an offer she can’t refuse—an offer for the boardroom and the bedroom.

Can the two adversaries negotiate a truce and find love? Or will business—and everything they've worked so hard for—come before pleasure?

My Review:
This story is quick and to the point, and being that it is a Novella that is a good thing. The last thing you want is a story that drags when it is not that long of a story to begin with. 
I really found myself loving the characters and the development of the story. I wish the author would extend the novella into a full length novel.

Blog Tour: Dream Me Off My Feet by Stevie Kisner

Paranormal Romance/Erotica/Rock Star

Date Published: 10/24/12

Dreams aren’t real.

Maybe…

What if the person in your dreams is a real someone you are meant to meet when your life is unraveling faster than a buzzing guitar string? And what if your salvation comes packaged as a rock ‘n roll legend?

On stage, JT Blackwood, singer for the iconic band Slanker Knox, is all rock star dazzle and testosterone. But offstage… he’s had his fill of greedy girlfriends who want the star and not the man. Meaningless sex with nameless groupies has lost its luster. He knows that, someday, the spotlight will go dark and doesn’t want to find himself with only memories for company.

Part-time photographer Kori Connor is full-time frustrated that her life isn’t what she ordered. She doesn’t need another relationship. But now she’s juggling two ~ a real one, and the one that has her vacationing in some strange man’s head in her dreams.

When Kori agrees to pinch-hit for JT’s usual photographer, he doesn’t realize that  her sight reaches further than just through the lens of her camera. When he learns her secret, can this rock star dream her off her feet?

My Review:
Stevie Kisner has created a story that fits in its own little genre. She mixes together the fantasy of the famous unattainable Rockstar, dreams that are a little too real with a paranormal quality, and themes like those in "Thoughtless". 

This story had a bit of a slow start for me. It  took me a while to get invested in what was happening and figure it all out because there was so much going on, but once it got going it was very hard to put down! 

What I loved about this book is that the characters were perfectly flawed. In real life people make mistakes an bad decisions and Stevie Kisner does a great job of taking a flaw that so many people have (infidelity) and showing the ins and outs. I really urge everyone to read this story throughout as Kori really does come full circle.

Stevie has been writing words for other people’s consumption since she was four and half and, after devouring ‘Charlotte’s Web,’ she took a magic marker and wrote her glowing opinion of it all over the nice tan cover. Too bad it was her cousin’s hardcover copy. Stevie got to keep the book.

Since then, she’s been reading anything she can get her eyes on: books, newspapers, cereal boxes, shampoo bottles… and liner notes. A total rock music junkie, Stevie feels every book (and every life) has a joyous soundtrack. When she’s not reading, she’s writing (both into the wee hours of the morning) and has a love affair with coffee, tea, and anything caffeinated.

Stevie lives in the high desert of New Mexico with her husband, son, and a completely spoiled shedding machine that people say looks amazingly like a Golden Retriever. You can find her on Facebook at StevieKisner, where she spends an obscene amount of time avoiding doing anything productive whatsoever.

PROMO Blitz: Conflicting Hearts by J. D. Burrows

Conflicting Hearts

Contemporary Romance

Date Published: November 2012

Synopsis:

Rachel Hayward hoped to have a quiet thirtieth birthday alone. Instead, fate had different plans.
Caught in traffic and late for work, she can do nothing except wait for the freeway gridlock to ease. A three-car pileup has caused the snarl. Just as cars begin to move at a faster clip, Rachel takes her eyes off the road to gawk at the accident and rear-ends the car in front of her.
Sick over having ruined her day, she lowers her head onto the steering wheel and waits for the driver to begin a tirade over her stupidity. Instead, a kind man taps on her window showing genuine concern about her welfare. The brief colliding encounter suddenly starts a relationship between two strangers that takes off under odd circumstances.
When the couple becomes intimate, their relationship turns into a conflicting set of desires and needs. Rachel is bound by a shameful, dark childhood. After she falls in love with the handsome Ian Richards, she is faced with the decision to leave him or finally confront her demons to obtain the one thing in life she's always needed--healing from the sexual abuse she endured as a little girl.

EXCERPT

Ian slowly turns me around so that I’m facing him. We’re nose to nose. Our bodies are touching front to front. This is not good, or maybe it is good. He doesn’t say a thing, except to look at me with a smoldering gaze. A second later, he lazily moves his eyes toward my lips.

I’m frozen. I look at him with half anticipation and half panic. He’s going to kiss me; I know it. His intentions are clearly expressed in his blue eyes, which have turned a shade darker. I’m losing it. Hurriedly, I remind him of his words to fend off the advance.

“Uh, I thought you wanted to be just friends?”

A look of admiration sweeps across his face. He gently brings his hand up to my forehead and brushes a few strands of hair out of my eyes. Ian is silent, but it’s obvious he is thinking this through. It’s driving me crazy being close to his body.

“You want more?” I whisper, trying to get him to say something.

“Do you?”

He answers with a question. It’s annoying. “I asked you first,” I reply, not cracking a smile or giving away my heart pounding in my chest. I can’t look at him any longer. I close my eyes, and silently ask God, who I’ve ignored for years, to help me.

Then I feel the warmth of his breath approach. He circles my lips with his and gives me a long, tender kiss. Sweet Jesus. He tastes so delicious! I hope the breath mint I popped in my mouth a half hour ago is still working. Eventually, he pulls away, and I open my eyes.

“Does that answer your question?”
