Review of Masters at Arms (Rescue Me #1) by Kallypso Masters

Title: Masters at Arms (Rescue Me #1)
Author: Kallypso Masters
Source: Own Copy
Genre: Erotic Romance - Light BDSM
Release Date: August 29th 2011
Author's Website




Masters at Arms begins the journey of three men, each on a quest for honor, acceptance, and to ease his unspoken pain. Their paths cross at one of the darkest points in their lives. As they try to come to terms with the aftermath--forging an unbreakable bond--will they ever truly become masters of their own fates? Or would fate become masters of them? (Book One in the Rescue Me series about the men who own the Masters at Arms BDSM Club.) AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is an introduction to the series, but does NOT have the Happily Ever After endings that will come in the next three romance novels in the series. Being the back-story that usually is not told in "real time," there are some intense themes in the book, including death of a spouse, incest, torture, a battle scene, and amputation.

My Review -

OMG I had this on my Kindle for quite some time and I could kick myself for not reading it sooner! What I expected to be a story about about 3 ex-military guys who decide to open a BDSM club was a 1000% time more then what I expected. It is an amazing story about three men and what brought them together and the development of the characters had me hook right from the beginning. I LOVE THE SERIES WITH ALL MY HEART AND I LOVE MASTER ADAM AND DAMIAN!!!

There is so much going on I really don't know where to begin. First off, this book introduces us to each of the men with their own story in parts. We meet Master Adam and his story had me reaching for tissues as we discover a Marine (Master Sergeant) who demonstrates loyalty, faithfulness, dedication, caring, and a protective nature that had me wanting to reach out and hold him in my arms to take away his pain. In his story we don't see any erotic scenes but see a very, sexy, alpha Dom who is always willing to take care of others even if it means making sacrifices to himself including protecting a young, teenaged runaway on a cold Thanksgiving night in a Chicago bus terminal. Not only does he save the girl from danger she in a way saves Adam from himself.

We meet Damian who is trying hard to move on with his life after a rough start and has finally find a place for himself. That is until a beautiful young woman looks his way and touches his heart and he see her inner beauty and hurt. Circumstances throw the two together where they escape to their own little paradise for a day where nothing and no one bad can touch them, but the moment is fleeting and leaves the reader aching.

Marc seems to have it all, extremely good-looking, rich, successful and can have any woman he wants, but because of a broken trust cannot allow himself to get close to anyone again. The trust not only destroyed his chances of truly loving anyone again it destroyed him as well and has guilt eating him away. Never feeling that he could live up to his family's expectations and the feeling of suffocation he joins the Navy to have a sense of purpose (he becomes a Navy medical corpsman for the Marines).

What occurs next in the story is how the three come together and the terror of war that puts their trust in each other and the development a bond that can never be broken. After each goes through their own horrors they get together after coming out of the Marines to start a BDSM club that saves them from their own demons and becomes their lifeline.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!! You have to read this book first before preceding to read the next one as it gives you a fantastic understanding of each character's personality. These characters are so HIGHLY developed that they become real and ALIVE to the reader. You feel that they are standing right beside you as you live the experiences with them (Mmmm would love to be standing beside Master Adam and rubbing my hands up his chest and broad shoulders and ummm, yes right, back to the review, sorry). :)

Just make sure you have the other books ready to read next as you will not want to wait a second longer to read Nobody's Angel (book #2) and Master Marc's story.

Review A Tale of Two Djinns by Mina Khan

Title: A Tale of Two Djinns 
Author: Mina Khan 
Source: Author request
Genre: Paranormal romance
Length:  Novella

A TALE OF TWO DJINNS is a sexy paranormal Romeo & Juliet story with genies, feminists, kickass action & adult fun.

Akshay, warrior prince of the earth djinns, earns the title of Crown Prince at a high cost when he loses his best friend in a battle against ancient enemies, the water djinns. Heartsick, he escapes to Earth to mourn.

Nothing gets the biological clock ticking (and elders lecturing) like almost dying in battle, so Maya, princess of the water djinns, travels to Earth for some no-strings-attached sex to fulfill her duty and produce an heir. But the beautiful and tough warrior gets more than she bargained for when she meets Shay.

Their not-so-simple one-night stand is interrupted by assassins and the world, as they know it, is changed forever. As Maya and Shay pull together to survive, both are determined to have their happily-ever-after and bring peace to their worlds — warring families, shadow assassins, and nosy busybodies be damned.

Seven days ago, Elizabeth May tried to commit suicide. She was found by Paul, her husband, who took her under his wing and back to their home. But the attempted suicide is not Elizabeth's main problem -- Elizabeth can't remember who she is, or a single thing about her life beyond the past week.

Plagued by nightmares about a familiar black panther, and a terrifying snow leopard, she is convinced that the dreams are trying to show her something important, and is determined to regain her memories, one way or another.

Meanwhile, Pueblo -- the demon blood-bonded to the witch, Amy -- is going insane trying to find her. Amy disappeared one week ago, and it seems not even their bond is strong enough to penetrate whatever magic hides her.

As Pueblo enlists the help of angels and demons alike, Elizabeth begins to piece together parts of her forgotten life. But what she uncovers may just have her wanting to turn away from who she really is ... for good.

Some things are best to forget. But what if the past won't be forgotten?

Born in China of a pure shifter bloodline, Katrina was raised with only one purpose--to breed. Abused by her alpha, she runs away to America as soon as she can. With a new pack and her true mate, she thinks the nightmare is behind her, but when she is abducted on the streets of Chinatown, Katrina must face her past and fight for her freedom.

It took Tyler a year to earn Katrina's love, another to build her confidence and pride, and only a moment to lose her. Broken-hearted, Tyler won't give up his search for Katrina.

But he never trained as a warrior like the other shifters. What chance does a real estate agent have in the fight for his mate?

Special post with romance author Mina Khan

 Mina Khan has given me permission to copy this off of her website. She wanted me to share it with my wonderful followers, so here you go.



I believe in karma. I believe in paying it forward. And I believe in thank yous. Because of all these, I have pledged fifty percent of the proceeds from the sale of A Tale of Two Djinns to UNICEF’s new Schools for Asia initiative.

 One of the best gifts my parents have given me is my education. Thanks to it, I discovered my love of reading and writing, pursued an adventurous journalism career, and became a published author.

 Growing up in Bangladesh, I have seen the poorest of poor. I have seen children forced to work instead of attending school. I have also seen education make a difference —lead to job opportunities, raise the quality of life for entire families, and allow individual new possibilities.

 Unfortunately, many don’t get this precious education. According to unicef, 67 million children are currently not enrolled in school worldwide, and 26 million of them live in the Asia-Pacific Region. How much potential is the world losing out on? How many Einsteins, Joyce Carol Oateses, and more remain undiscovered because they were born in bad circumstances?

 My mother never finished high school. Back in the early 1950s, in traditional Bangladesh where arranged marriages were the norm and good proposals a blessing, my mother was married to a handsome young sailor. She was seventeen and he was nineteen. Her father, who had great hopes for his clever eldest child, agreed to the marriage only after the groom’s father promised to let her continue her studies. This promise was not kept.

 Many years later, older and wiser, my mother insisted on her daughters being educated, finishing college. Her favorite saying is “No one can take knowledge away from you.” My late father, who knew a thing or two about raising daughters, made our education a family priority.













 (They were married 53 years: 1958 to 2011)


 To honor my parents, to give thanks for my blessings, I’m passing forward the gift of education through UNICEF’s Schools for Asia, which will work in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. I need your help. I hope you will consider picking up A Tale of Two Djinns, and if you enjoy the read, I hope you will tell others about it. Meanwhile, every RT and share helps & is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! I hope together we will make a difference.

Review of BANSHEE CHARMER by Tiffany Allee

TIFFANY ALLEE
Entangled Publishing
Released January 24, 2012
ISBN:  139781937044992
Paranormal Romance, UF
Ebook, 159 pages
Ebook provided by publisher for review





When she’s sent to a crime scene and finds her second dead woman in as many weeks, half-banshee detective Kiera “Mac” McLoughlin is convinced a serial killer is on the loose. Incubi are extinct, her boss insists. But what else can kill a woman in the throes of pleasure? When her partner is murdered after using witchcraft to locate the killer and Mac is thrown off the case, her frustration turns to desperation.

Certain the killer is an incubus, Mac works behind her department’s back to chase down slim, sometimes perilous leads. While the killer eludes her, she does discover handsome Aidan Byrne, an investigative counterpart from the enigmatic Otherworlder Enforcement Agency. Mac typically runs her investigations fast and hard, but with Aidan at her side, she’s running this one “hot” as well. But Aidan knows more than he’s letting on—something that could shatter their blazing romance and add Mac to the killer’s growing body count…
