Down and Dirty By Rhenna Morgan

Profile:

"“A slow burn from the very first page. These boys have the perfect amount of sweet and heat. Every woman needs her own Haven brother.” —Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author

The Men of Haven: fierce passion, unyielding loyalty.

Especially when it comes to their women.

A powerful man

Axel McKee abandoned his musical career years ago in favor of becoming a power player on the music scene. His dreams of the spotlight are over—and he’s better off for it. Working with his Haven brothers and building their empire is enough for him.

One who commanded attention with nothing more than a look

And then came Lizzy. A dynamic, beautiful powerhouse of a performer unlike any he’s seen or heard before. Her presence leaps off stage and into the heart of anyone who watches her sing. Axel wants her. Wants to help her and collaborate with her… But more than anything, he wants to be with her.

And every ounce of his attention was locked on her

Two things are immediately obvious: Lizzy’s been burned before, and earning her trust will be Axel’s biggest challenge yet. If he can get this fierce, stubborn, talented woman to see the passion and care that he’s offering, he might get a chance at a new dream—sharing the spotlight with the woman he loves."

"Down and Dirty" by Rhenna Morgan

My Rationalization...

This was another enjoyable series Book # 6 of the Men of Haven which featured Axel and his pursuit of Elizabeth. Definitely, the hot chemistry was there among them from the first meeting however from the story Axel will have to gain [Elizabeth] Lizzy's trust due to what all had gone on in her life earlier. I loved hearing from many of the family members we have met from other Haven series with them all coming together giving the reader one heck of a good read. The author really works her magic with Axel and Elizabeth that will keep you turning the pages, especially from those hot steamy sex scenes. Be ready for Axel who is 'big red-haired, green eyes, beard rocking Scotland accent with quite a kinky side and Lizzy a rock star who seemed somewhat shy but yet at the end able to hold her on when it is necessary and definitely the one for Axel.

All in all, this was one good enjoyable read "Down and Dirty' that I will recommend along with the other five Men of Haven series.

"Satisfy...SUBMIT" By Niki Jilvontae

My Rationalization...

What a story this author gives the readers! I found this story was somewhat sad in what had happened to Alexandra Conner's from her own family...her mother, sisters and brother in law [s]. Thank God her father was able to get his daughter Alexandra [Alex] and her brother away from that group of horrible people. Along with Alex was her best friend Rachel who had been with her through thick and thin. Yes, Alex was white and her best friend was black and that was the cause of her problems she had from her family members.

Everything seemed to be going well for Alex and then her father dies and she 'is whisked back into a nightmare' that she thought she was out of. However, it was 'her best friend [Rachel] that saves her and introduces her [Alex] into a new way of life through a mysterious, magical world.' Now what was this 'secretive, seductive wall' that Alex will learn about in a certain phrase 'Satisfy...Submit' that will become a meaning for her that she could have never imagined? And meeting a certain man named Chance will definitely give Alex the desires where she will "find power, peace, and insatiable erotic desires in the Pandora's Box called Paradise." However, with all of this one would think things are great because it seems like in this 'interracial, BDSM, erotic love Alex finally has it all but will that be with her family still coming into her life presenting still more problems. How will this turn out for Alex as she is once again having problems with her family trying to to attach themselves in her life. But what was even stranger was the revelation Alex's mother presented to not only her, but her best friend and Chance. Well, to find out about it all you will have to pick up "Satisfy...Submit" to see how this author brings it all together in this well written novella given to the reader. I would have loved to have known more about who was left alive of Alex's family at the end.

This is not only a good 'thrilling, hot, fast paced novella but one that is heart wrenching, erotic and in the end a wonderful love story.'

My Thoughts....

Wow what a read of this sexy alpha cop [Decklan]  and curvy and beautiful [Amanda]!  With them meeting at the BDSM club you can only imagine what will happen for these two people. Would you believe they were there at this club because they didn't want any relationships other than to get their needs fulfilled.  However, what will happen when these two spend a night together?  Well, I don't want to spoil it other than say you will have to pick up this novel to see what all comes after this one niter.   How will a secret that comes out affect this relationship?  Yes, this is a BDSM read so be prepared for that in the read.  I loved how this read tied in Decklan's  other family members and friend from book 1.  If you love a hot contemporary romantic read you have come to the right place for "Dare to Submit" featuring Decklan and Amanda will give it all to you.
