Reviewed by: CaroleDee

Jaci Harmon was born a Sapphire, but after she’s summoned to receive her final designation, the testing reveals she carries a gene slated for eradication. Within a day, she’s sterilized and dumped in the Amber Zone, where the damaged are corralled away from the rest of New Atlanta. Scared and alone, Jaci would rather die than face her future as an Amber.

Born in the Amber Zone, Xander Dimos is a product of a lifetime spent under the oppression of the Repopulation Laws. Decades of suffering have taught the Ambers to make the zone a place where touch, sex, and unconditional acceptance ease the pain of their fate. Jaci has a lot to learn about her new home, and it’s Xanderís responsibility to guide her through the differences and the dangers safely.

With the simmering undercurrents of sexual chemistry growing between them, and in the midst of discovering the Gov’s true motives, Jaci and Xander must overcome his secret and accept their love as undeniable...even if the time allotted to share it is short.

When Kate agrees to a mad experiment with something as insane as time travel, she expects exactly what Professor Waites had suggested: dystopian nightmares and possible barbarians.

So when she finds herself in a future where women no longer exist and the men have no idea what they’ve been missing, she can’t seem to catch her breath.

Especially when the men in question—the darkly handsome Tem, and his starkly beautiful companion Aley, are so curious and so ready to learn everything she has to teach—including all the past pleasures they never knew existed.

Interesting!  Stupidly Funny!

What an interesting take on time traveling into futuristic life where men only exist and just thinking of the possibility of it and the fact how they are portrayed as pure idiots just blows my mind.  The fact that it takes a woman to come into their future to show them how sex is one thought that just cracks me up.  When I say Stupidly Funny I mean “Comical”, so stupid it was funny and I laughed out loud several times at the comments or questions asked.

The story was pretty good for a short story and the characters were out of this world hilarious, however, when it came down to the erotic scenes it was 100% HOT!  I totally enjoyed a female showing a male-male couple how adding a women to the mix is twice the pleasure and the ending was justified as the woman ends up going back into the future for more HOT sex.

Sexual Rating:

This a quick and funny read, I found myself laughing out loud several times. Enter a world where women are nonexistent. When a woman suddenly pops in from the past, the men is stunned at first and then well *clears throat* you get the idea of what comes next, but what can you expect they have never laid eyes on a woman before. I recommend this for any who likes a quick hot m/f/m futuristic read.

Here is a quick tease
“There’s no such thing. It’s a replica! I told you the government had replicas.”
“I don’t think replicas look the way it does. It looks like a man.”
“It looks nothing like a man. Look how small it is! And it has boobles!”
Now it was the second one’s turn to roll his eyes.
“Those are not boobles. Perhaps they’re some sort of…growth. Maybe he’s wearing something under his clothes.”

My inner geek was doing the happy dance reading this one -- a sci-fi erotic romance with a little humor thrown in.

When she volunteered to test the time-travel machine, Kate Connor expected to find a decimated planet inhabited by troll people in the year 3033. Instead when she “landed”, she found (among other things) two gorgeous men and a planet without women. Like all initial encounters, getting to know one another can be fraught with misunderstandings.

"He’d heard that the past had been full of feelings and people doing things that were really outrageous and extreme all the time, so to her he most likely looked like an aloof weirdo who wanted to probe her with things.
Next time. Next time she came -- oh, if she did, if she did -- he would be enthusiastic and animated. And shake her hand. And give her a cracker."

Just imagine, having to teach/learn sex-ed hands on! An entertaining story that contains enough heat and futuristic mumbo-jumbo to keep the pages turning!

Futuristic Romance / Sci-fi
Review requested

Travel through time with Dr. Zane Grayson, executive director of Guardian TMF…a monstrous time traveling facility, as he fights against corruption, Elites, Time Mercs, and his own obsession with time surfing to realize his future may actually exist in the past, 1998 to be exact. Guardian 2632—a story of epic proportions depicting what a man will sacrifice to save a life.

MY REVIEW & SEXUAL RATING:

Interesting Read!

A very interesting Sci-fi, a sci-fi full of mind boggling adventures that will have your head spinning with all the twist and turns. If you’re into a sci-fi world than you will definitely enjoy this futuristic world full of neat gadgets, weapons, computers, and the intelligence mode of the sci-fi.

This is not a fast read, it took me a while to get into the book because the first 50 pages set the scenes up of how the time travel and daily lives of 2632 was spent and how it had come about to the point in time.

I find it hard to explain the romance in this book because even though it was about love, 3/4s of the book was the adventures Dr. Zane Grayson had to go through first in order to get back to his love Julia and his daughter Lindsay. There are no love scenes, only kissing. However by half of the book the story kicked off and hooked me and I had to find out what happened next.

What’s fascinating is that Dr. Zane Grayson was addicted to time surfing into the past and would do it on his free time which was against the rules but he loved fixing the past to change the outcome of events. Even though he could of been killed on the spot if anyone found out, he didn’t let that stop him.

But during his time surfing into the past he learns that the organization has kept a secret from him, a secret that he had once fallen into a worm hole that took him into 1998 and left him there for a few days before they could recover him. However, during the short stay he meets Julia and they have a one night stand of pleasure before he is snatched back into the year 2632.

Through his addiction of time surfing, Dr. Grayson finds out about Julia and wonders why he is so drawn to her. He almost goes into shock to learn of her life story of abuse and the fact that he was her one night stand lover and the child she has is his, so he finds himself wanting to know more about her so he can go back in time to try to change the events. The adventure starts from there and it amazing everything he goes through just to get to be with the one he loves.

I liked Dr. Zane Grayson's character; he was definitely a bad ass when it came to fighting, not only physically but mentally. My heart went out to Julia as I learned of her life of abuse from her husband and I was so glad Zane went back in time to save Julia's life so he could have his life with her.

Even though my usual reads are paranormal romance/erotica, I will definitely remember this sci-fi story.

Authors website

Nothing has ever come easy for Jace Lawless, captain of the salvage vessel Mutiny. Forced into thievery after a virus unleashed by the InnerWorld Government killed his family, only one ambition burns at the back of his mind. Kill the next IWOG officer he has at his mercy.
Bargaining over goods with a middleman isn-t exactly his strong suit. But who in his right mind spends an entire salvage job-s profits on a woman, even if she has a body built for sin and eyes so fathomless a man could lose himself in them? He must be getting soft.

Once Kraft realizes Jace expects only the -cook- part of their cook-whore contract, she sets out to change his antiquated ideas about women. A challenge she relishes, especially if it earns her the freedom and money to get her own ship. Her big mistake is letting down her guard.

Shameless flirting only intensifies the itch to ride Jace hard and put him away wet-several times. It-s an itch it would be dangerous to scratch. Exposing her heart could reveal her secret, one that the still-grieving Jace must never know-or showing her mercy will be the last thing on his mind.

Warning: Contains a celibate ship captain who can-t abide swearing, a kick-ass woman with a marshmallow heart, a motley crew of misfits, interstellar battles, thwarted groping, sensual seduction, and a total bastard who owns his own planet.

Sexual-

This was an exciting space adventure! To tell you the truth I didn’t know if I would like this, but as I kept reading the more I liked it. Anitra keeps dropping bombs on you, just when you think the h/h are going to get along, BAM! Something huge hits them and throws them apart again, that’s when I would be sucked in again just to see how they were going to work their way out of the next mess. Needless to say this is not a quick read its one that you want to savor as you read and really pay attention to see it you can find out what comes next and I never could..

This warning label just about says it all for what you get; Warning: Contains a celibate ship captain who can’t abide swearing, a kick-ass woman with a marshmallow heart, a motley crew of misfits, interstellar battles, thwarted groping, sensual seduction, and a total bastard who owns his own planet. I will add humor, emotions and some very exciting fighting action along with a great cast of characters.
I simply loved the first of the book when the two crews meet it was so funny and Heller, he is just a hoot that really needs to get some sex to calm him down * wicked grin* I hope he gets a book soon!
Jace and Kraft I loved them both. The biggest problem some may have is you want to see them talk their feelings out more, but not every thing is cut and dried, so the way this plays out is a no fun picnic for them and it’s a very emotional ride. You get a lot of sexual tension and the sex is there just not a whole lot, what’s there is very tasteful and enough to keep you going. I am so glad the villain in this story gets what he so deserves.
Kraft is a little different then most people, she has a touch of paranormal. She can do things and read things that no one can, so this makes the story more interesting and if you a PNR reader that likes futuristic, I totally recommend this book.
I could tell you so much more, but I just cant give it all out, so if your in the mood for a deep space adventure, please try this. This is very well explained and I am so looking forward to book two.. I hope its Payton and Garrett….
