A Wicked Recommendation...


Welcome to my stop along the Wicked After Dark Blog Hop! I’m so glad you chose to come by today. J I usually have a pretty in depth post during a blog hop, but with the holidays coming on and so many things going on here at Realmantic Moments this week (and I have a new release coming next month I’ve been super busy setting up promo for), I thought I’d keep this one short and sweet.
Do I read erotica? You bet! Do I write erotica? Not exactly. By definition my pieces don’t actually fall under a purely erotica category but ride the fine erotic line. However, I have a couple of favorite erotica reads I’d like to share. They are wicked and dark…
First pick…
Emily Vargas has been taken captive. As part of his conditioning methods, her captor refuses to speak to her, knowing how much she craves human contact. He's far too beautiful to be a monster. Combined with his lack of violence toward her, this has her walking a fine line at the edge of sanity. Told in the first person from Emily's perspective, Comfort Food is a tale of erotic surrender that explores what happens when all expectations of pleasure and pain are turned upside down, as whips become comfort and chicken soup becomes punishment.
It’s my opinion Kitty does an excellent job of exploring the darker aspects, particularly psychological, of the BDSM lifestyle…haven’t read her? Give this one a shot.
Then try this…
A deliciously potent tale of one woman’s quest for self-discovery.

Rowan Cassidy likes to be in charge—especially in her personal life. As a mistress at Club PrivĂ©, the most exclusive bondage/S & M club on the West Coast, Rowan can live out her dominant fantasies safely, and with complete control—until the night Christian Thorne walks in. Self-confident and sophisticated, he’s a natural dominant if Rowan’s ever seen one. Yet she can’t stop thinking about him and imagining his touch.

Christian has returned home, hoping to break free from his dissatisfaction and malaise—and discovers the cure in Rowan. He’s dying to get his skilled hands on her and watch her surrender, to unlock the mystery of her that captivates him. Determined to be her master, he makes Rowan a daring proposition: give herself over to him for thirty days.

Rowan finds Christian’s offer terrifying—and impossible to resist. But abandoning herself to Christian’s power might be more than she can handle…. Or it might be the realization of her true nature and the dark garden within her. There will be only one way to find out. And once the game has begun, there’s no turning back.
Hope you enjoy my recommendations. J Leave me a comment, tell me what you’d recommend as a read. I’m always looking for a new writer! At the end of the hop I’ll choose a random comment and the lucky winner will receive a $10.00 Amazon Gift Card, so be sure to leave some contact info as well.
Happy wicked hopping! And be sure to click the icon below to go back to the linky list and more dark, delicious stops...

  8. Love Eden's Smutketeers posts, but haven't read her books yet...gotta fix that! I'd go with KA Mitchell's Florida series, Evangeline Anderson's STR8TE BOYS, LA Witt's THE CLOSER YOU GET, Kayelle Allen's WULF, or Lynn Lorenz's BEST VACATION THAT NEVER WAS for naughty m/m. For a hot m/m/f menage, try Tara Lain's DECEPTIVE ATTRACTION.
