Wanderlust by Skye Warren

May 12, 2013

image

WARNING FROM THE AUTHOR: Wanderlust is a dark erotic novel which explores dubious consent, captivity, and power play. Not intended for those uncomfortable with the subject matter or under eighteen.

Wanderlust is one of my top books of 2013. I am a big fan of dark erotica so the author’s warning and the subject matter did not scare me away, and you shouldn’t shy away from this story either! The author has crafted a heart-wrenching tale of pain, survival and love that will leave you wanting much more of Evie and Hunter’s story.

Can love come from pain? This is the theme of Wanderlust. Our heroine Evie is running away from a painful past and searching for emotional and physical freedom while on a trek across the U.S. to see Niagra Falls. Hunter is a trucker and let’s just say they have a fateful encounter while on the open road. Is Hunter a monster? I don’t think so, and in fact, I LOVED his character. Will Evie find the freedom she is seeking? Read the story and you will find out.

Ms. Warren has created two richly-drawn characters that haunted me long after I finished their story. I was immediately drawn into Evie and Hunter’s lives and I felt a deep connection with them from the beginning of the story. That connection is essential to me as a reader and that is why I feel so strongly about this story and the author.

No spoilers here. Suffice it to say the storyline is absolutely surprising and incredibly fulfilling. The sex scenes in this book are disturbing, graphic and very, very satisfying. Wanderlust was the first book I have read by Skye Warren and I look forward to reading many more of her stories.

Big Sky by Kitty Thomas

March 16, 2013

Buy on Amazonimage

CAUTION: Big Sky is very dark and contains scenes of a non-consensual nature.

Synopsis:
Veronica Cason lives in a small apartment with no clear view of the sky. It’s uncertain which might crush her first: her debt or the buildings squeezed in so tight that they surround her like ominous sentinels. She can’t breathe in the city. Her success is a lie, and her debt is coming to collect her—unless someone else gets there first.

When a stranger offers her a job at a ranch, it feels like salvation, but it could also mean her death if his motives aren’t pure. Which door has the tiger behind it? The claustrophobia of the city or ranch life under an open sky?

Review:

As a fan of Comfort Food, I could not wait to read more of Ms. Thomas’ work. This book did not disappoint. Veronica is taken against her will from her life in the city to the ranch of Luke Granger. He believes he is giving her a better life by offering work, shelter, food and oh yeah, incredibly erotic sex. There are scenes in this book that will stay with me for a very, very long time, and that is why I love this author so much.

Who hurt you?”
“Besides you?”
“Oh, I haven’t hurt you yet.”

If non-consensual and group sex bother you, do not read this book. If you like to be challenged; love very erotic stories; and don’t like everything wrapped up neatly in a little bow, then Big Sky is for you.

“Okay, I’ll do what you want.”
He laughed. “That was never in question, princess. The only question was would it be the easy way or the hard way? I’ve broken horses. I have never ending patience with women.”

I like my characters a little dark and twisted. Luke and Veronica do not disappoint.
