(Forbidden history)    
(This is great)    
(Art and History!)     I fist discovered this graphic novel from the magazine Heavy Metal and I couldn't believe what I was reading, it was so dark and evil! This particular part in the series is filled with deception, murder, incest, orgies, betrayal and so much more. I got that issue of Heavy Metal with this story featured in it so long ago and I still think about how much I love it - which is what brought me to search for it here and go so far as to write a review. The art style may seem a bit 90's at first glance but it fits the mood perfectly and is quite enjoyable. Yes, you could call the book with this name. There are topics which are forbidden to speak about in history. Everybody knows the events in our history which are described in official history books 180 degrees different as they were in reality. Only because the winners write the history and it is not allowable to show the winners in any other way as heroes and good ones. So this two books about Borgias is just one example how it is possible by picture book tell little different story than an orthodox history tells us. But even without all this it is very good book with fine graphic and little humor. I would suggest to everybody who admires the Milo Manaras art and to everybody who are interested to have a little history lesson. Good enjoying! One of manara's greatest works in my mind. Great story line and never gets boring. The second volume delivers the same exciting element. The second volume is in Heavy Metal Magazine for those who would like to know. Cannot wait for the third issue. Manara is one of a kind. This is the first time for me to enjoy his art with historical references to Catholic Church and Middle Ages. I look forward for the second volume of this tittle. Rerations < Borgia: Blood for the Pope >

(Got to have it!!)    
(office romance)   
(Quick read)  
(Reinvention of Chastity) I really enjoy reading this book. The author show how people charactize you by how you look instead of learning the real person. Chastity was insecure in alot of ways. Most of them came from her childhood. This author shows how long we can carry baggages. But by the end of the book Chastity took responsible for her choices. I am looking foward to reading another book in the future from this author. This book is VERY HOT!! I loved it but it is not for the faint of heart - it's for grown-ups. If you want a good, steamy, IR, then you must purchase this book. I'm glad I did. It's funny how love can be right in front of you and you just don't know it. In this story Sebastian does not know the 'Cinderelle' in front of him. He sees only a loyal employee. Suddenly she, with the help of her best friends, 'upgrades' her look after overhearing Sebastian's not-so-nice comments. She is a hot mama! Can Sebastian keep his cool or will he turn into the Prince Chasity knows he can be?
It was a great read and went by very fast. I read this book in 2 days, was definitely a steamy quick read. VERY HOT! However I agree with BookLover in NYC comments. The story went along very quickly. I wish there was a bit more to the characters. The climax of the story leading up to her "revenge" was over and done with just like that. I thought there would have been more to it that she should have been the one to tell him she overhead what he said about her and how it hurt her, etc. I wish there was more to their breakup and subsequent getting back together. Overall, it was a good rainy day page turner! I couldn't put it down. Would like to see a sequel novel to this. :) I was really looking forward to receiving this book and reading it. What a disappointment! The book is expensive and was not worth what I paid for. Yes, it is a quick read and HOT, but rather unrealistic. The characters didn't have much depth to them and I especially felt the author could have done a better job developing the two main characters. Would I take a chance on the author Eve Vaughn again? Only if I don't have to pay for the book. Dont get madget sexy!Plain Jane paralegal Chastity Bryant has had a raving crush on her boss Sebastian Rossi since meeting him. Always willing to jump at his beck and call, Chastitys world comes crashing in on her one morning when she overhears him laughing about her less than exciting life. To top it off, he freely admits that hes used her crush to his advantage!After a pep talk from her friends, they devise a plan to teach the arrogant Sebastian a lesson. Armed with a new look and a new attitude, Chastity sets out to seduce her hunky boss and bring him to his knees.Sebastian Rossi has always been able to depend on two things in life: his successful law practice and his dependable employee, Chastity. But his whole world is turned upside down when she walks into his office looking like she just stepped off the cover of a magazine. Now, all he can think about is her. He doesnt know what brought about the change, but one thing is certain, hell stop at nothing to possess her.Things are going according to plan for Chastity, but the only thing she hadnt counted on was falling in love.Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language.

(Love Me to Death)    
(WORTH EVERY PENNY)    
(Allison - you're off the hook!)   
(OK)   Allison Hobbs has done it again giving us another roller caoster ride. i have read everything she puts out! i look forward to reading her new books.
thanks Allison! Two women. Two hearts. Two different economic levels. Two different outcomes and one man. Author Allison Hobbs has written a drama-filled book that answers the question, can love sustain all struggles, pain and problems? In THE CLIMAX, Hobbs captures the emotions, and real-life pain of a young woman suffering from the loss of a love so great she went inside herself. She was left lying emotionless in a nursing home, comatose from an emotional breakdown.
Hobbs has written a thrilling story of what happens when seduction and revenge meet. Kia Montgomery, an oversexed, manipulative, revengeful lover, sulking behind prison walls, was accused of killing Marquise, the best sex partner she ever had. As she sat in prison convicted of murder, she wanted one thing -- revenge.
Terelle Chambers lay in a catatonic state for two years until one day someone kissed her, awakening her slowly. She believed that Marquise, the love of her life, was still alive and it was his kiss that brought her back amongst the living. Holding onto that hope, she fought to recover through extensive rehabilitation to reunite with him and her daughter.
Is Marquise dead? Did Kia or Terelle kill him? Hobbs has created a fast-paced, well-written and descriptive, drama and sex-filled novel that takes you on an emotional roller coaster with no seatbelts. This story of a love so strong that it encompasses all reasoning is a must read. Although this is my first read by this author, it certainly won't be the last.
Reviewed by RM Jackson for The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers What a great sequel to Insatiable. I literally could not put this book down. That Kai was something else - crazy as hell and I was so happy with the ending. Hobbs never disappoints. Keep up the good work!!! I read "Insatiable" a few years ago and knew there had to be a sequel; well, to my surprise, Ms. Hobbs did not disappoint! "The Climax" was off the hook! I'm waiting for the movie. Kai got just what she deserved. This book was truly a page turner, with a whole lot of twists and turns; I couldn't believe some of the things Kai did or got into. Terelle and Saleema showed you what true friends will do for one another and Terelle and Quise showed you how true love won't let you down. Keep on doing your thing, Ms. Hobbs. This book was just ok for me too... I have too agree with some of the reviewers reason being I have read all of allison hobbs books this one for me was just too much...It's hard too write a sequel when the first book was five stars...my advice leave it alone and start a new novel From the bestselling author ofPandora's BoxandInsatiable-- the story of two women whose lives are consumed by their rivalry for the same man.A seductive tale of lust and revenge,The Climaxcharts the entangled lives of two women -- Terelle and Kai -- who have both suffered irrecoverable losses in their pursuit of Marquise, who is believed to be dead. Kai is in prison, and Terelle suffered from a mental breakdown after losing her fiancé. After two years of catatonia, Terelle is awakened by a sweet and mysterious kiss, and the voice of her lost love. As Terelle recovers, she clings to the idea that Marquise (who is the father of her child) is still alive and out there, waiting to reunite with her. She goes into grueling rehabilitation in order to find a way back to him, all the while enduring the concern of loved ones, who think she is delusional. At the same time, Kai is jailed for a murder she didn't commit, but that doesn't stop her wanton behavior. Not a day goes by that Kai doesn't plot a wicked revenge on Terelle. Throughout steamy prison encounters, and despite a lifetime sentence, Kai vows that Terelle will never know a moment of peace, so long as she lives Rerations < The Climax >

(Excellent Read)    
(A great, sexy romance)    
(A WIld WINSTON)   
(4th book in Winston Brother Series)    I titeled this my almost favorive because this only comes in second to her Buckhorn Brothers series. But other than those fabulous brothers this is Foster's best. Very sexy! Another excellent read by Lori Foster. You should read the Winston Brothers first - will give you a run down on the Winston Brothers and their wives. You won't be disappointed in this book if you are a fan of Lori Foster's books. A good beach book!! I've read a few books by Foster now, and I have to say this is the best of those I've read. Great characters, great romance, a nice minor suspense storyline. Just an all-around enjoyable romance read.
The romance was by far the biggest aspect of the book. Zane and Tamara are a great couple. And their scenes together are very, very hot. This is definitely one of the better erotic romances that I've read. It's sexy and sensual without being crass or just about sex. It's about the characters connecting and being drawn helplessly to each other. True, Foster doesn't quite do justice to the emotional bond, but I don't think the story suffers all that much.
I loved the side characters of Luna, Joe and Tamara's family. They were great, and I enjoyed the cameo's from the other 3 Winston brothers. Also, the small suspense angle gave the story some nice added depth, making the book more well-rounded.
Overall, a good read if you want a sexy romance. There was just something about her that drew him in. Of course she was making passes at him and saying things like "I want you" but she had a wacky family and a ridiculous costume that she wore to work. But there was that passion and that fire that seemed to come to surface everytime those two were within a few feet of each other. It was na great read just like all of Lori Foster's books. This is the Zane and Tamara story. Tamara works as a psychic and decided that before she leaves town she has to have one night with the hottest Winston Brother Zane. Zane has been having erotic dreams on the dark haired Tamara and can't pass up her offer... Check out all the Winston Brother stories and Say to No to Joe? (cousin the Winston brothers and being of the Visitation NC series).
In her deliciously steamy novellas, Lori Foster introduced the sinfully attractive Winston brothers. Now, in Wild, she continues their story-as sexy Zane Winston falls for an exotic lady who may not be at all what she seems.

(terrible!)
(Courtesan)    
(It was explicit!!!)   
(COURTESAN contains the perfect blend of innocence and sensuality.)     The tale of an innocent girl pushed or lured by circumstance into a sexual relationship with a man who has a hidden agenda, and who is determined not to love her, is as old as the romance genre. It's a plot which can be told with dozens of interesting variations, and which can make for a satisfying romantic experience. Perhaps one of the best examples would be one of the original modern romance novels, The Flame and the Flower, by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss. The epic love story of overbearing Brandon and gentle Heather is still in print more than thirty years later for good reason -- it's well-written, sexy and a gratifying read.
However, this novel is just trashy -- it's not even well-written erotica. It's just embarrassingly horrible. The author has no grasp of dramatic tension and her dialogue is laughably wooden.
The characterizations of her hero and heroine are equally ham-handed. The hero, Sebastian, never convincingly embraces his "love" for the heroine, even at the end when he finally produces a marriage proposal. We know why he initially refuses to love the heroine -- he's avenging the death of his mother at the hands of the heroine's heartless father. But I was so convinced of his continued loathing for her that I could not buy into the last three pages when he declares his love for her and falls to his knees, sobbing. As late as the chapter before the epilogue, he actually starts to have sex with his "lady love" with another man, in a yucky threesome right out of some shot-on-video porn movie.
And just who is the heroine? Other than learning that Sarah Winslow is an eighteen-year old penniless former rich girl, we don't know her at all. She has no backstory, so the reader has no reason to care about her. For some unexplained reason, she is suddenly content with being the increasingly ill-used sex slave of this mean-spirited "master," to the point where she "falls in love" with him. The author tries to convince the reader that this masochist display on the part of Sarah is a way of soothing Sebastian's broken spirit and winning his love, but it never comes across as believable.
I finished this novel so that I could write a proper review, but that review can really be summed up in one word -- UGH! If you want classy erotica, try Anais Nin's Delta of Venus or Story of O by Pauline Reage. If you want a hero who starts out mean-spirited and redeems himself, try one of Johanna Lindsey's early works, or perhaps Whitney, My Love by Judith McNaught. But don't waste your money on this one. I bought this book because of the glowing reviews and interesting premise, and now I'm mad I wasted my money. There are some good, even sexy, parts in the middle but overall this book was ruined by the beginning and the end.
When Chapter 1 begins the heroine is already in a brothel. We miss the development of how she got there, the angst of her choices, the horror of falling so low. As a result, we never get to know her well or sympathize much. Also it's hard to understand why she's legally responsible for her father's debts; it doesn't work that way. With such a faulty premise, the plot loses credibility.
The hero is a heel. I was holding out for him to realize he loved the heroine and redeem himself. He did neither. When the heroine tells him near the end that he doesn't know how to love, I agreed with her. I never felt he loved her. At the end I wanted him to grovel for her forgiveness for what he put her through.
This brings me to my pet hate. Authors and publishers who throw in a menage a trois scene without a warning. If I'd been warned this book contained one, I'd never have bought it (and I will never buy another of this author's). Apart from its mere presence, this scene irritated me by being near the very end of the book, when both hero and heroine should be realizing they love each other. After he's taken all her orifices, the hero just decides to pass her onto another rich "protector", offers to find the protector himself, and then volunteers to join them in a menage so the heroine can get used to it. What a selfless guy! He eventually stops the proceedings but only after the stranger's penis is in her anus. Ugh!
The heroine was TSTL to accept this situation. Magically even though she was poor before, after this scene she is doing fine financially. What happened? Did the hero help her financially? Why couldn't he do that before he pushed her to prostitute herself to a stranger to pay the debts? Ughhh!!
When her wastrel father dies leaving eighteen year old Sarah Winslow in debt and without resources, she innocently agrees to a loan that will pay her father's creditors and save her from starvation. When the loan comes due, Sarah is unable to pay. As the terms of the loan were vague, Sarah is horrified to learn that she must repay the full amount of the loan by working in a brothel, as a prostitute. Unbeknownst to Sarah, her fall from society miss to courtesan was planned by the brothel owner, Sebastian Turner.
Sebastian has hated the Winslows for eighteen years because of his mother's abandonment, scheming to ruin Sarah's father Michael, and to own all of Winsolw's property, including the enticingly innocent Sarah herself. Something Sebastian has now accomplished. Owning Sarah, making claim to her virginity, Sebastian has all he ever thought he wanted. But he finds that having Sarah for his personal sex slave is not enough. Can Sebastian put aside his plans for revenge and let himself love Sarah as she deserves?
Why can't all historicals be this delicious?! Bondage, domination, and intensely erotic sex make this historical romance unique. Wonderfully so! I'm afraid Louisa Trent's Courtesan has ruined me. How will I ever again read a vanilla historical without picturing beautiful golden bondage bracelets?
The characters are wonderfully drawn, the plot well-written, but what makes this book outstanding is it's intensity. I shivered. I bit my lip. I clenched my fist. I wanted. I love it when a book does that to me. If you like historicals, and romance with a bite, you will love courtesan.
Annabelle reviewed for Joyfully Reviewed The story is actually really interesting. The scenes are explicit. At first you hate the male protagonist, but you slowly begin to understand him and why he does what he does. My heart went out to the female protagonist. However, she is strong and resilient. Great book!!! Sarah Winslow was forced to sell everything in an attempt to pay the creditors and still couldn't cover them all. Left with no choice, Sarah signed a note for a loan naively selling herself into the hands of an exclusive brothel. With her love of botany, Sarah had hoped to earn a living and pay past debts by gardening, the patrons of the gaming establishment had offered garden designing commissions, but each of the offers fell through.
Sebastian Turner had sworn vengeance on Sarah's father after he wronged his mother and himself. Slowly he's obtained his goal and everything that was once Michael Winslow's now belongs to Seb, including his daughter, Sara. Savoring his victory should have left him euphoric, instead he feels sorry for Sara and can't abide the thought of another man touching her.
Eighteen years ago, Sebastian had swallowed his pride and returned for help, to the man that had wrongly used and then discarded his mother. His mother had consumption and Sebastian believed that seeing Michael Winslow would give her the will to beat the disease. Instead, Mr. Winslow refused, and Seb's mother died a week later. Seb slowly improved his position in life but never got over the feelings left from his childhood or his sorry beginnings. Having finally obtained everything that once belonged to Michael Winslow has given him a sense of satisfaction. Tonight, his plot will be complete when he's the one to deflower the virginal daughter of his dead opponent. After rescuing Sarah from the man she refers to as the "eel," Seb realizes that she'd be able to see right through him and know he's not whom he's pretending to be. Following her out into the gardens, Seb finds Sarah highly agitated and not at all receptive to his overtures of friendship. She's perfectly aware that it's all a ploy. It's to be her first night as a whore and having already been groped by the "eel" Sarah wants to sink into her precious gardens and for the rest of the world to go away. Sarah uses her uppity, snotty attitude as protection. Pride is all she has left now and she wraps it around herself like a cloak. Seb suddenly taking an interest in her garden however puts them in her comfort zone and she animatedly enjoys sharing her knowledge of gardening with him, while dejectedly wondering why all the commission offers fell through. As a con man, Seb knows exactly how to put Sarah at ease, and soon finds himself enjoying her company while anticipating the activities still to come that night. Will Seb be able to follow through with his plans for Sarah? Or will they each find the love and acceptance they both need?
COURTESAN contains the perfect blend of innocence and sensuality. Sarah's practical nature leads her to read about the various forms of sex in order to perform her job, but nothing prepares her for the overwhelming need for Seb's brand of dominance. Seb and Sarah are both hurt and lonely, both at the hands of the same man. Sarah simply wants a man to love her for whom she is. Seb believes he wants to get back at Sarah's father but really he's a man still hurting from the injustice to his mother. In each other's arms they may be able to fulfill both of their needs. Louisa Trent's COURTESAN is an unexpectedly touching story, not to mention a wild romp through the various aspects of being a COURTESAN. Strap on a chastity belt ladies. This story is sure to leave you with lots of yummy ideas.
Chrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies) New York 1883 With her deceased father's creditors pounding at the door, starvation imminent, and nothing left to lose, eighteen-year old Sarah Winslow signs a note to excuse her indebtedness. Little does she suspect that she's just sold herself into an exclusive brothel, her ruination orchestrated by Sebastian Turner, a wealthy gentleman who has bought and paid for her virginal innocence for reasons all his own. For eighteen long years, Seb has methodically plotted to destroy the Winslow name. And he succeeds. He now owns all of Michael Winslow's possessions, including his lovely daughter, Sarah. Seb has everything he ever wanted. Only now that he does, it's not enough. He wants more...from Sarah. His needs know no bounds but those of pleasure--a rawhide lasso and gold bondage bracelets--when it comes to the prim and proper lady he has made his Courtesan. Rerations < Courtesan >
