FIRST EXPOSURE by Elisabeth Naughton

A film that could make her career. A weekend that will change her life…

When actress Avery Scott’s assistant goes missing researching a role for Avery at an exclusive adults-only resort, Avery finds herself with only one choice: travel to the resort herself and look for clues. She hires an elite operative from Aegis Security to accompany her. She just doesn't expect to get former undercover FBI agent Cade Blackwell—the man who ripped out her teenage heart twelve years before. One weekend at the sexiest resort in the world with the only man she’s ever loved will expose her to more than just a kinky new lifestyle. It’ll expose her to numerous wicked firsts that will test every ounce of her self-control. And if she’s not careful, she could lose her heart—and her life—in the process.

FIRST RAPTURE by Alexandra Ivy

Madison Philips has only one reason to return to Las Vegas: Luc Angeli. The tall, dark bad boy took her virginity on her eighteenth birthday and then walked away, now she’s back, and ready for revenge. Luc Angeli spent his youth trying to earn the approval of his philandering father. Now he’s his own man, but there’s still something missing from his life. He doesn't know what it is until he catches sight of Madison across a balcony. Suddenly he knows this woman is what he’s been searching for, and this time he’s not walking away.

FIRST TASTE OF DARKNESS by Cynthia Eden

Hot sex. No regrets. Jess Delaney has spent her life playing the role of the good-girl. On a trip to Vegas, she decides to walk on the wild side when she meets mysterious Blake Landon. Rich, powerful, and carrying plenty of secrets, Blake is unlike any man she has ever met before. But as the passion burns between them, danger waits in the darkness…a danger that may just claim Jess’s life…

FIRST INK by Laura Wright

Rush... Women in his bed, celebs and rockers in his chair, life is pretty freaking swell. Then she walks back into it again. Not for pleasure, but for pain. For Ink. A bleeding heart to match the one she left him with five years ago.

Addison... She can’t forget him or the pain she caused him. All she has is a hope for redemption. But it’ll only work if he lets her inside his exclusive world, under his famous artist’s needle and into his bed—once again.

FIRST SURRENDER by Katie Reus

He’s dangerous, sexy, and everything she wants. And he’s about to make his claim…

Hayden, the dangerously sexy, tattooed ex-SEAL is one of the best friends Sierra has ever had—and the main star in her wildest fantasies. But he doesn't see her that way. And she’d die of embarrassment if he found out she was still a virgin.

Hayden’s struggled to keep his attraction to the beautiful, dark haired casino chef a secret. But when an attacker targets Sierra, Hayden’s protective instincts go into overdrive. With the attraction between them burning out of control, he’ll do whatever it takes to protect her and make her his.

FIRST TEMPTATION by Joan Swan

Counter terrorist agent Taft Walker is up for the challenge of posing as an adult store owner with a new female undercover partner who is also a sex-toy virgin. At least until he sees the real woman beneath her tough façade.

Border Patrol Agent Zoe Brooks is ready to get off the front lines. She’s willing to tolerate a swaggering partner like Taft for a new opportunity. But she’s not prepared for the way he understands her deepest, sexiest desires.



Overall Rating 


Awesome!! All of the stories in this series were great. A few of them full of action and hot sex and a couple with just hot a** sex. I swear I think my Kindle may have short circuited a few times. Some of the scenes where just O.M.G. just sooooooooooooo hot! My favorites were the club scene with Cade & Avery and the  scene with Taft & Zoe after she does her dance demo. I'll admit that First Temptation was my favorite, but I did love them all. Taft was just too delicious and hot. I'll also admit that i'll have to research some of the items mentioned in First Temptation, lol. 
I HIGHLY recommend this collection!!

Review Beyond the Darkness by Alexranda Ivy

Author-Alexandra Ivy
Paranormal romance- Wolf-shifter
masspaperback pgs 384
Author's website




Book Description
Salvatore Giuliani is not a happy werewolf. It’s his duty as leader to track down the pureblood females who can keep his people from extinction. But the moment he catches scent of Harley, a pureblood held by a pack of mangy curs, his savage need for her obliterates all other instincts. And the only thing worse than being captured is finding that beautiful, independent Harley defiantly refuses to become his mate.

Harley has been taught to distrust all Weres, especially their arrogant king. She won’t be used for breeding or bonded against her will, not even to a man who makes every nerve tingle with awareness. Yet Salvatore is her key to saving the family she never knew she had—if she dares to succumb to his dark, predatory desire, and face a vicious enemy sworn to destroy them both…

Laurie's review
rating 5/5
sexual Hot! for a PNR
This is the first book in this series that I have wrote a review on, this is another one of my top vampire/shape-shifter series. Every book in this series is full of humor, adventure, romance, hot sexy vampires/shape-shifters, Strong heroine‘s, suspense, excitement, and hot sex, to put the cherry on top! As in all of Ivy’s books she brings all of her characters back around, so you never miss out on any of them.

There is a three foot Gargoyle named Levet, he appears in every book. Every hero in this series wants him gone, while every heroine’s will do anything for him even if its throw their vampire/shape-shifter on the couch, just to help Levet. Levet maybe small, but he somehow comes in and helps saves the day in some way. These books would not be the same with out him.

This book brings you Salvatore The King of Weres. To tell you the truth in the last book I found Salvatore just didn’t do it for me. But when I started reading this book, I was like WOW he is one HOT were! I really fell into his roll he starts out very flirty with Harley and the romance grows form there, its really hot. Salvatore finds himself not have a good day, along with him is Levet the annoying gargoyle, they both have a time of getting out of their predicament. Its one that had me LMBO at them both trying to get out.

Harley I found wonderful, she is not over the top or just a dull character. I also fell in the roll of her character, she has been taught against Salvatore, so she has to take her time to trust him, but I never found her annoying. I like the way she is strong against anything thrown her way.

For those who have never read this series. There has not been a were mating in years, so no one knew that it could happen. I really like the way the mating was written and that both had to participate in this before it was complete. This is a very sexy adventure to read.

There is an sneek peek of Devoured by Darkness in the back
