Scandalous Liaisons by Sylvia Day

Reviewed by Desere

I have never been a major fan of historical reads. It always feels like I'm lost because I don't know anything about the time period being referred to, and I feel that some authors focus on the backdrop settings too much instead of the actual romance aspect happening.

Not the case in this Sylvia Day book. The book includes three simply delicious, scandalous reads, all with the focus on how three men meet their match and go above and beyond to change their lives in order to win the hearts of the woman who entrance them.

The backdrop settings were well described but as I mentioned not to the major overflowing excess that it took all the feeling of romance away. Not once did it feel as if I was lost and not really aware of what was being described as the author really kept the attention on the romance between the characters.

I really loved that the author used the love of a good woman in all three reads to show how strong and overpowering love can be to the extent where a man will alter his entire life simply to be with her.

I highly recommend this book for all Sylvia Day fans. Hot, sweet, sensual, sexy and simply SCANDALOUS!

**If you are not into erotic reads or crude words this read is not for you. But if you do prefer some creative spice and fantasy that will have you wishing you could get a hold of your very own pirate or earl this read will hit all the right notes.

In the flesh by Sylvia Day

Another super scorching hot read from the ultimate author in erotic fiction! For five long years Sapphire has been the King of Sari's most treasure concubine.

But once that wonderful feeling of freedom hits she is dead set on never ever again being controlled again.

But when she comes face to face with Wulfric and his sensual games she becomes a warrior trapped in a war and the only way out is to surrender.

I simply loved, loved, loved this books and it's characters! The author tied it all in together so stunningly that it truly felt as if I was inside the book living the dreams!

Captivating, heartstopping and so romantic it brought me to my ever loving reading knees with joy.

The author also did a truly wonderful ending , she gave me the happy ending but also left me hanging, which let me know that the next book will be coming and it will be a for sure winner.

I highly recommend this read for anyone and everyone who loves a good hot steamy romance with lots of twists and turns. I was captivated from the very first line.

This author has once again proven why 50 shades is as thing of the past for 100 shades of Sylvia Day is far better and delivers time and time again!

Passion for the game by Sylvia Day

Reviewed by Desere


Oh my gosh was this book all kinds of hot, hot, hot,hot, hot !! And no am not referring to the sex parts, okay those were really awesome too, but the actual plot was so unbelievably fascinating that half way through I already decided this one gets onto my auto to re-read list!

The read tells of Christopher he is infamous for satisfying his limitless wants and desires, don't you just love him already ?!

Now that he is once again a free man he devotes his time to engage, deceive and seduce the one woman that is just as ruthless as he is that is when it comes to the games of passion.

Maria is far from innocent in the ways of men but even with always ensuring she is one step ahead of Christopher and very much enjoying each delicious, sweet soul tempting unbridled kiss it does not mean she is going to walk away as the winner of this little game.

Her world comes crashing down when she discovers just how deep her feelings run and has to face reality but is she willing to risk losing the game when sacrificing her heart?

From the above alone you can tell this was one totally fabulous plot, what made it even more perfect was that each and every character was stunning created by the author to perfectly slot in with every aspect of this read.

The entire flow of this read was simply magic and never once was there a dull moment but, there certainly was more than one moment of me double checking over my shoulder to see what am reading, you know when you get that feeling that you are in some way suppose to feel guilty about drooling over some hot character and hanging onto every word they say!

The read was filled with excellent conflict, passion and awesome intrigue. Definitely worth the read! Sylvia bring us more!!
