Carra's Review

Coach’s Little Kitten by Quin & Perin
This was my first introduction to kitten play, and it was at the same time both cute and sexy. What it also was? Naughty and HOT. Those who like size disparity will be soundly pleased, and the opposites contrast extends beyond just size. This story also brings up the thought of what could possibly happen once Caleb is no longer in school…just sayin’.

Abstract Love by Sara Dobie Bauer
This one is not so much erotica as it is the beginning of a love story, and I enjoyed it tremendously. It’s written with a lot of emotion and feeling, and I adored how Sam fits with Donovan. Saminasuit…LOVED.

The Kiss by A.G. Carothers
A deeper delving into kink can be found here with Liam—who identifies as asexual, and who is into pain—and Gavin, a dominant at the BDSM club to which they both belong. Even for a shorter work as this, it’s still plenty of time to lay out Liam’s unexpected (to him) journey into play with a man, and into finding a lot more than what he bargained for…in a VERY good way.

Pretty Boy by E.M. Denning
Pretty Boy dips into the taboo pool with Mark and Paul, half brothers. All about raw, primal need and the visceral need to be owned, this story will not be for everyone but if you’re wanting to check out that pool yourself this is a good place to start—and not just for the half brother aspect.

Particular Tastes by T.S. McKinney
Hot guys? Check. Hot sex? Check. Inappropriateness in the work environment? Check. Christian is everything I love in a sexy, hot, pierced alpha male (mmm…yes), and Hudson is perfect as a twink-but-still-deadly match for him. Hudson may not actually be straight as everyone has thought…

Doctor’s Orders by Emma Jaye
Here we get to take a look at an established couple, Nate and Alex. Alex has plenty of his own issues, and how he deals with them is an issue in itself. Nate’s a doctor, and definitely has his caretaker thing going on with Alex. And Nate does do whatever he needs to do to take care of him…including bringing an interesting fantasy of Alex’s to life. Some readers will definitely be getting introduced to a new kink with this story!

Brotherly Love by Lynn Van Dorn
Stepbrothers. Lace and satin undergarments. A bit of makeup. ’Nuff said, right? Another dip into that taboo pool here (though seriously folks, step-siblings aren’t related by blood, y’all know that, right?), where we get to see glimpses of Jay and Jamie growing up, slowly leading to it all coming to a head. A very hot and naughty head.

A Kink Chronicles Short by Luna David
Jeeeeezus. Please excuse me while I go take an ice bath. Pure eroticism, sensual as hell, and it might leave you short of breath…in a very, VERY good way. Told from both Knox and Zach’s points of view, we get a quick exploration of their D/s relationship which has the interesting kink of Zach’s need for humiliation. I confess, that’s one kink I can’t understand personally—but the author takes that and turns it into something crazy hot and intensely erotic. As a matter of fact, “erotic” describes every single page of this story. And that’s before the second couple—another D/s couple with whom Knox and Zach are close friends—enters the picture. Damn, I need a cold drink.

Tamed by T.M. Chris
If you’re a fan of a sub who just does not listen, and you like stories that center on discipline, this will be a story for you. I’m not really into this type of D/s relationship, so this story made me a bit impatient.

Watch and Learn by K.C. Wells
To wrap everything up? Just about everything under the sun. Okay, not everything but an all-out impressive attempt at it. The key here for Zac and Chris? WATCH. Voyeurism is definitely Zac’s thing. What Chris has him watch? That’s where the wide array of acts comes into play. Exhibitionism, fisting, shibari, watersports, flogging, menage, DP…there’s a whole spectrum of things to be found here—all with the purpose of Zac watching. Deliciously naughty, probably a bit eye-opening for some readers, and all in the name of Chris showing Zac that penetrative sex is not the be-all, end-all.

In conclusion
One thing the stories in this anthology have in common is that they all have the potential for a lot more, which has me hoping that the authors might decide to use these as springboards into full-fledged novels at some point. Those that were written as an extra look into an existing world have me looking those stories up to add to my reading list. This is an amazing collection, supporting an incredible cause, and gets all 5 stars from me—definitely a highly recommended read for the M/M erotic romance/erotica fans out there! And the “well, duh” disclaimer…this anthology is strictly for readers 18+ for adult language and erotic sexual content, including some topics that some readers may consider taboo (go ahead, you know that’s one of the reasons you want to read it!).

New Release-Review & Giveaway: SUB MISSION by T.S. McKinney


Sub Mission
Author: T.S. McKinney
Genre: M/M Romance
Release Date: June 7, 2018




With subs being murdered at a Miami BDSM club, experienced dominant Agent Seth Wilkinson must find his own submissive to “entice” a killer. When he’s paired with Agent Baker Daley he wonders just how much a straight man can fake.

Baker Daley knows he can “play the part”; he just needs a chance to prove it to Wilkinson. Being a straight man should have no bearing when his Domme has trained him well in the practice and lifestyle of submission. After all, this is just a job, right?

One scene. One intuitive Dom. One sassy sub. The game is afoot…in more ways than one.

As passions ignite and both men grapple with their internal desires, the mission begins to heat up. In a race against time, confusion and danger, they may just discover the greatest threat is to their hearts.








Jayne P. Sayle - “...fast paced and it keeps you hooked from the very first page.”

Jenny Prose - “This is an absolutely amazing love story of 2 men.”

Barbara - “...fun, sassy suspenseful and exciting.”






The blurb for this story is what drew me in, plus the fact that I’ve enjoyed the other books I’ve read by this author. I’m always game for anything with BDSM, as well as stories that promise some type of suspense related to criminal investigation all wrapped up with some romance. Sub Mission has all that, and punctuates it with a cocky alpha Dom and a sassy sub. 

Seth is definitely cocky, with good reason though—he knows what he’s doing. And Baker is the perfect sub…though how he’ll do with Seth when Baker is straight is anyone’s guess. Until after their first test scene before they start the assignment. The two are the ideal D/s pair, though as things progress Baker becomes conflicted with the feelings and desires he begins to experience concerning Seth. Seth’s in a similar position when it comes to feelings, which is a recipe for conflict—not to mention a conflict of interest when it comes to their case.

There are times during the story that it felt a bit rough around the edges which I attribute to the characters’ personalities both individually and as they interact with each other, but also to certain points where things felt rushed to me (it’s hard to detail this in a review without spoilers, though one of those points is when Baker is pushing Seth to advance their physical interaction). There’s also the very short time period in which the events of the case take place—just a few days—which makes this story fall into the insta-love category for me. Yes, relationships tied to BDSM tend to provoke more intense feelings (at least in books, I don’t know about real life), but considering Baker is supposedly straight at the start of the story, it makes the acceleration of the relationship a bit too much on the rushed side for my liking.

The supporting characters do a good job, though I found Landon to be a bit peculiar. I liked his son Ari, and since there’s some setup towards the end of the story for Ari I’m now looking forward to hearing his story.

Sub Mission was a 3.5-star read for me. I liked how Seth and Baker fit together in terms of their D/s scenes and the results Seth could easily achieve with Baker. Their interactions outside of that were less smooth and the pace of their relationship a bit rushed at the start, which was a strong contributing factor in my final rating. This is a good start though for what looks to be a series, and I’ll be following along and hoping Ari’s story will be coming next. This book is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and explicit erotic sexual content.

Review & Giveaway: GASPING FOR AIR by TS McKinney (Game Day #2)


Gasping for Air
Series: Game Day #2
Author: TS McKinney
Genre: M/M Romance
Release Date: April 22, 2017


How far will Trystan go to win the heart of the man he loves? All the way.

Trystan Matherly is conceited, arrogant, and rich. He has plenty of money, athletic ability, and gorgeous looks to keep the men forming a long line just to be with him. Choosing his next lover has been as simple as down-selecting to the hottest candidate.

Until Dakota.

With his sad eyes, full lips, and perfectly sculpted swimmer’s body, Dakota is just the kind of lover Trystan wants. After only one look, he knows he has to have him. Too bad Dakota seems to be totally oblivious to all his charms.

Dakota Jacobson is lonely, tired, and depressed. He’s at Alabama Temple to complete his degree, not to put up with idiots. He works diligently to be as invisible as possible. He doesn’t need friends and he sure doesn’t need lovers…especially not football titans that think they rule the world. Nope; been there, done that.

Until Trystan.

With his sexy eyes, arrogant smirk, and muscled physique, Trystan is just the kind of lover Dakota never intends to have…again. Too bad Trystan refuses to allow him to be invisible.
