"A Devil's Touch"...A Devilish Vignette by Victoria Vane was a continued
read from 'The Devil's Match..Book 4 and I was left only thinking Wow what
a good read.  This was just another one of Ms. Vane good well written novella. 
This story involves the married life of Diana and Ludovic. We now find Diana is
pregnant and suffering from insecurities that are there with pregnancy...will
she be able to keep Ludovic interested in her? I don't think that will be a problem for Ludovic once he stops listening to the doctor...and with that being said this is where I say you must pick up this wonderful read to find out just what all is going on in "A  Devil's Touch"...and also finding out.. What is going on with Ned, Salime and Simon?  You will find all of the characters every developed in this short solid read that will only leave you wanting more.

This author is such a wonderful storyteller leaving you not able to put her reads
down until the very last word and YES, I would recommend this read.

Review:

"Risking It All"  by Jennifer Schmidt was a well written romantic novel that I
found a good and interesting read.  This author gave us a wonderful look at
two individuals  who had been best friends for over twelve years. These two
characters..Kennedy and Memphis were best friends till the end...well would there were problems.   Would this be the end of their friendship? In this read you will find...full blown friendships, emotions, love,happiness, drama,  anger, fear, lust and even a  love triangle  involving Kennedy, Brook and Memphis.  "Risking It All" did present a lots of emotions... back and forth with Kennedy that almost drove me crazy  but in the end...now, this is where I say you must pick up this good novel to see how this author will get us through all of this with Kennedy, Brook and Memphis.  The characters were all strong and well developed from Kennedy, Memphis, Brook,  Ryder, Vanessa, Joe,Tanner, Alec and Bradley...giving the reader a well written script. There will be a lots going on so get ready....for a great story.

If you are looking for a good romance that will keep you guessing right up till the end..."Risking It All" is the novel for you and YES, I would recommend this novel as a good read.

"Safewords:  Davenport and Chiffon" by Candace Blevins was a good (BDSM)
erotic merage romantic  read.  This was a friendship with Zach, Dana, Brent
and Jacob. Let me say this is a ADULT AUDIENCE ONLY!  Now, having said
that this novel deals with how these four people 'grow and develop a very
close relationship.'  "Safewords:Davenport and Chiffon" is the fifth in a series
from this author and continues from Safewords: Davenport #4... so my suggestion would be for you to read #4 before reading #5, however...#5 does stand alone and it is a well written  amazing read. There will be many 'lessons to be learn and knowledge to be gained.'  from this read.  I do not want to give away any  of this...other than to say...I hope I have your interest in wanting   to pick up "Safeword Davenport and Chiffon" to see what Mrs. Blevins can and does bring to her readers.  Be ready for "a  book that contains graphic language, consensual BDSM, bondage, extreme electrical play, enemas, and the use of toys including clamps, canes, plugs, cages, paddles, whips, and floggers. (That is the warning from the beginning of the book DO believe it!)." Now, if all of that doesn't bother you...you will be ready for this read.   Since I am a book reviewer... I real all kinds of reads and I will only say WOW  to this one.  Indeed,  it held my attention!  Having  to ask permission? What does that have to do with all of this? ... You must pick up this read to find out. Even though there is much sex and exploration that seems to go non stop, however, you really will get a good amazing story of loss and love.

Would I recommend "Safewords: Davenport and Chiffon" to all Adult readers..
well the decision is simply up to you....I found it quite interesting and well written novel that left me saying WOW!  By the way I gave this read 5 stars!

Review:

"Stranger In the Room: a Novel" (Keye Street #2)  was a wonderful mystery suspense-thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat not putting it down until
the end.  This novel is a second in the 'Keye Street series'  dealing with Keye Street's cousin,  Miki being stalked...add to that many murders are  being committed and the missing cremated ashes and you have a excellent well written script to be read.
 
All of the characters were simply wonderful in that they were so well developed
into their particular character  only making this read good....from Keye, Rauser,
Neil, Miki, Tyrone, Emily, Harold, Cash Tilson, Billy and Brenda Wade, Larry
Quinn, Bevins, Marko Pullip, Jimmy,Dan, Dr, Shetty, Joe Ray Kirkpatrick, Mr.
Huckaby, 'White Trash,' Mary Kate Stargell and the list goes on ...all simply
good...some over the top....with even some were even humorous and had me
laughing out loud at some of it.  Now, I am sure at this point you are wondering
what "Stranger In The Room" is all about and this is where I say you must pick
up this read to find out about it.  "Stranger In The Room" was a tastefully written with all of its darkness... that after all is said and done the job of getting it delivered to the reader  was well done...as this author brings it to life a very believable story for the reader. The ending rather surprised me but after I thought about it...I guess this is the way life can go for a person.  Only leaving me to say does one ever open their eyes and see what is not good for them.  Oh well... to know just what I am referring to....you must pick up this read.

Would I recommend this mystery thriller..."Stranger In The Room"... YES.  It is
my understanding that there is a #1 in this series: The Stranger You Seek that
I plan on checking it out soon.

Review:

"The Devil's Match" by Victoria Vane was the conclusion of 'The Devil DeVere Series #4 and did I get the icing on the cake...from this great ...YES!  This author was able to portray all the research and history so often making you feel
that you were actually there...and let's not forget about the beautiful illustrations that were presented. In this read  you will get all of the what, why, who and how that comes out and lets  the reader see the whole picture...especially of DeVere and Diana.  "The Devil's Match " was another novella..with fun, fast paced, and Yes erotic...as the two characters 'learn the true meaning of love and forgiveness.  All of the original  characters...from DeVere, Diana, Hew, Ned, Phoebe, Vesta, Polly, Pratt, Salime to  the rest were simply wonderful...in their deliverance being well  developed...realistic and even engaging.  What I  really like from this last series was that  we learn  of DeVere's painful past, and we finally understand what turned him into such a cynical, debauched libertine..(devil) that only Diana could tame.  With saying that I will stop and just say you must  to pick up "The Devil's Match" to see for yourself how this author brings in all out to the reader.  Ms. Vane did a excellent job with this fabulous series and as I said earlier... this last  novel puts the icing on the cake.

To the author... thank you for such a wonderful read that I couldn't put down until I had read the whole series...and would I recommend:  "The Devil's Match" my answer would be YES!  Would I recommend the whole series? ...my answer again would be YES!

Note: I just got this from the author: I am continuing the series...I hope to have the next vignette out by Valentine's Day(2013). It's A DEVIL'S TOUCH, a short story of Diana and DeVere 3 months into their marriage. It's very erotic and very intense! It also serves as a bridge to JEWEL OF THE EAST that I hope to release by late spring.

                                                 Review:

"The Devil You Know (The Devil DeVere)" by Victoria Vane was another good erotic historical romantic  read.  This was 'The Devil DeVere Series #3.  All I can say is that this author hit another home run delivering a awesome well captivating story.  I simply loved it! I believe to really get the understanding to what all is going on or has gone on you will need to pick up Series one and two, however, it's still a good read either way.  Yes, you will find the sex scenes very lustful...but still tasteful. Remember this is a Adult Read!  This particular series was involving DeVere and Diana first meeting.   "The Devil You Know"  is a read...filled with 'humor, debauchery, tricks, drama and even murder ... and yes  hot steamy sexy scenes...wow!

The characters...from DeVere, Diana, Edward, Annalee, Reginald,Hewitt, Caroline, Polly, James Johnson, Colonel O'Kelly, Dr. Stone, Sir John Gooding, Pratt to a few others all made this such a awesome read that I was unable to put down until the end.  Will this first meeting with DeVere and Lady Diana  possible be something going on between them or will their be misunderstandings that will take them farther apart?  Now this is where I say you must pick up "The Devil You Know" to find out what will happen.  After you do find out I am sure you will get the next series #4  and I am sure there will be icing on the cake with this last series.

"The Devil You Know" was full of 'drama, darkness and passion' and if you
haven't picked up this read...do so...you will not be sorry and  yes, I would  recommend this novel as a excellent read. 

The Virgin Huntress(The Devil DeVere) #2

Review:

 

"The Virgin Huntress" by Victoria Vane was a home run for me.  I really enjoyed this erotic romantic  novella.  When Lady Vesta decides to go after what she wants....she gets it.  I loved this novel!  Yes, Lady Vesta could be seen as childish and very spoiled but that was OK with me because in the end she get it and so does Captain Hewett DeVere who I found was 'brave, funny and downright scandalous!'  I found myself laughing out loud, say wow, and even sighing....of it all....you will only have to pick up "The Virgin Huntress" to see what I mean...they were both were__?___....and that poetry...omg! Check this novel out.   All of the characters...even the servants played a very definite role in this well written script.  And yes, their was Devil DeVere...as always causing some kind of mischief. 

I will stop because I don't want to give too much away...other than to say if you are in for a dashing good read with a historical scenes and romance you have come to the right place and that is why I would recommend "The Virgin Huntress" to you as a excellent read.  This is a series...so after reading this one check out #3.  I believe there is a total of four  of these novels by this author.  Oh, I don't want to forget to tell you that this author...has  illustrations and they are really beautiful. Be sure to take a look at them.
