Excerpt 

 (From a fantasy where hubby is a store detective and wife a shoplifter)

“Mark, can you check the store?” my manager asks me. “A load of teenagers have just come in and I don’t like the look of them. Light-fingered bunch, the lot of them. Can you stroll down the aisles?” 
Jeez. The man sees a potential thief in everyone and I roll my eyes behind his back. I’ve been a store detective for a week and think the job sucks. Nothing interesting ever happens apart from inside this man’s head, and if it does, I really don’t give a fuck. What do I care if some kids nick a few beers? For the money I’m earning, it’s really no skin off my nose. Good luck to ’em. 
I leave the office and go down the first aisle. As predicted, fuck-all happening, and I’m tempted to go home early. The boss goes home in five anyway. I round an aisle and stop. A cute little blonde has just stuffed two lipsticks into her shirt. I watch mesmerized as she then sashays out of the store in a pair of tight little shorts. I grin. Things have become interesting all of a sudden. 
I follow her out of the store and put a hand on her shoulder. “Would you like to come back into the store with me, Miss? I believe you have something that’s not yours.” 
I feel her jump guiltily before she slowly turns around. She looks up at me all awkward and embarrassed. I can’t believe my luck. Up close, I think she’s breath-taking. Her pixie face is tanned, clear skinned and free of makeup, which I like. Her huge green eyes draw me in and I like the look of guilt in them. Her body is well-toned and displayed for my pleasure in a pair of light pink shorts and short-sleeved shirt. I can’t wait to get her alone in the office and teach her the error of her ways! And she definitely needs it. 
The girl follows me reluctantly back into the store. I take her to the far end and into a room. I can’t wait to start questioning her. This is going to be fun, and I’m going to behave totally inappropriately toward her, which will probably get me fired at the end of the day. But if it means tasting this sweet little thing, I think
I can manage without the crap pay check. 
I shut the door with a loud click and the girl jumps nervously. I think it’s cute how she chews nervously on her lower lip. Pretty soon, I’ll be biting that lip. 
“I believe you’ve taken something from the store that doesn’t belong to you, Miss,” I say sternly, waiting for her to admit to her guilt. 
She looks up at me. 
“I haven’t taken anything.” Her breathless voice makes me hard as nails. “You must have made a mistake.” 
I study her for a few minutes to make her squirm in the heavy silence. 
“It’s going to be like that, is it?” I drawl. “In which case, I’m going to have to frisk you.” 
I walk forward before she can blink an eye, turn her around, place her hands above her head, flat palmed against the door, and I nudge her legs slightly apart. Then I totally break the rules by running my hands down her body, patting her down, pretending to look for the lipsticks when I know she’s stuffed them down her bra all along. 
“Hey!” she squeaks. “I don’t think you can do this to me.” 
“Hush, sweet cheeks,” I whisper near her ear and feel her shiver at my close proximity. “I can do what I like to girls who misbehave. Where’ve you hidden them, darlin’?” 
The girl draws in a breath as my hands lightly run down her arms, over her chest and breasts, where they linger, only to squeeze the mounds and rub her nipples into hard peaks, before continuing down her body. 
“I really don’t think you have any right to touch me like this.” It comes out a gasp, but she’s leaning into my touch. 
“Did you hide them in your shorts?” I rasp as I run my hands over her bum in the tight, tiny shorts, cupping the cheeks and squeezing them. I can’t help myself. 
Then my hand sneaks around the front and rubs her mound through the thin material of her shorts. My cock hardens further at her surprised little gasp, and I stand up to turn her back to face me. 
“Well, that search didn’t reveal anything, but I saw you take the 
lipsticks and know you concealed them on your tight little body somewhere.” 
She gulps, licking her lips and looking at me with her huge eyes. 
“Then you’ll simply have to find them,” she dares me.


Review 

Enigma is a fun, steamy book about an adventurous couple who set out to fulfill their sexual fantasies.  Lucy is given a card with details of an exclusive club that helps couples improve their sex lives. Lucy and her husband Mark already have a good sex lives, but they've never spoken about their fantasies before. They club helps them to safely bring those fantasies to life - everything from a kidnapping to a naughty nurse scenario.

I really liked the author's writing style, the story was well paced and the dialogue felt natural. She also has a fabulous imagination and writes one hell of a sex scene! The scenes and fantasies are very varied and they are all hot, hot, hot! Both characters were likeable and their relationship felt believable. Enigma is a super spicy book that I really enjoyed reading. Four stars!

Title: Moto
Author: M. Never
Genre: Dark Erotic Romance
 Release Date: April 13, 2016



Blurb

What's harder than resisting one Dane man? Resisting two.

I don't date bikers. It's my one cardinal rule. No rough, rugged, tattooed egotistical maniacs on two wheels. Even if they are gorgeous, brilliant, and sport the prefix Doctor. Bottom line, bikers are nothing but trouble.

T.R.O.U.B.L.E

Dr. Devlin Dane has had his sights set on my panties for months. But I've done a stellar job of fending him off. As Mercy Medical's most eligible bachelor, he has no problem in the panty dropping department. He's tall, dark, and inked all over. I get the appeal, I'm not dead. I'm not stupid either. He's a walking heartbreak waiting to happen.

But when Reese Dane comes crashing into my life - literally- the game suddenly changes.

Reese, the dark, brooding, motorcycle racing champion, knows exactly how to apply the right pressure on and off the track.

The two have an unstoppable pull like centrifugal force, and both bad boy bikers are determined to take me on a high-powered ride I'll never forget...

Excerpt

“I’m not overreacting! You can’t just pass me around to all your biker buddies and think it’s okay! I’m not a fucking wrist watch you can just throw into the pot!”

Kayla, do you honestly think I would’ve put you up if I knew I couldn’t win? That I would let anyone else touch what belongs to us?” Reese crowds me into a corner.

“Us?” I squeak. Wait, what?

“Yes. Us. Mine and Dev’s.” He enunciates the words. “You. Are. Ours.”

There’s that word again. Ours.

“I don’t understand.”

“Baby, I think you do. I think you’ve always known where we would end up.” Reese cages me in with his arms.

Dev materializes over Reese’s shoulder, and I internally hyperventilate. I don’t know who to look at first as my gaze compulsively darts between the two of them. Two, beautiful, roughneck men, who both look like they want to have me for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

“How . . . how would this even work?” I crazily entertain the idea.

Both their faces split with a fiendish smile. I must have asked the million-dollar question.

Reese leans in closely, stopping my heart. “Let us show you,” he murmurs so seductively my knees nearly buckle. I throw a questioning eye at Dev and he nods confidently.

“You both want this?” I ask with a small voice.

“It isn’t about what we want anymore. It’s all about you now,” Dev voices.

Holy. Fuck.

“Say yes, Kayla.” Dev’s tone is soft and velvety. Irresistible. “Say yes to us.”

I press my back against the wall praying for composure, but the longer they trap me, the more the pressure builds, the more my want fights to the surface, and my resolve falls away into oblivion. I find myself nodding because my ability to speak has become paralyzed.

“Good girl,” Reese breathes before he throws me over his shoulder like a caveman.

“Hey!” I grab onto his shirt.

He swats me on the butt as he makes his way to the stairs. “Ouch!” I flail.

“That’s for bouncing out on me. Never do it again. Got it?” He hits me once more for good measure.

“Fuck you.” I flinch.

“In due time, baby.”

I lift my head as Reese climbs the stairs with Dev hot on his heels.

Reality suddenly strikes. Is this really happening?

“Relax.” Dev traps my chin gently. “We’re going to take care of you. And make you feel so good.” He pushes some dangling hair away from my face so I can see him. He’s incredibly calm despite the carnal look in his eyes.

Once in my small room, Reese drops me on the bed. They each flank one side, making me feel like a trapped animal.

I kneel in the middle of the mattress at a loss at what to do next.

“Strip, baby,” Reese instructs as he unzips his leather jacket and pulls the gun from the back of his pants, placing it on my nightstand.

I stay frozen in place.

I know I’m supposed to move, but what’s clearly about to happen hasn’t sunk in yet.

“Need some assistance?” Dev crawls up behind me and kisses my neck. A switch flips. My eyes immediately roll backward. Yes, please, touch me. Both of you, please touch me.

Excerpt:

Ian went to grab the dog’s leash. Bud started up his pee-pee dance, his massive body twisting and turning as he ran after Ian. His big paws thudded against the brand new hardwood he would never have spent that god-awful amount of money on had he realized a dog would pee on it.
He looked back Charlie’s way. “You know there’s a whole forest out back for him to go in. He should be a free-range dog. Aren’t we taking away his dogness by putting him on a leash?”
Charlie frowned his way as she refilled Kenzie’s cup. “Yes, he’s the mighty wolf dog, Ian. I watched him run away from a bunny the other day.”
He grabbed the leash. “See, if he had to go out and hunt, he wouldn’t be such a shitty guard dog. Don’t even say it, you two. Say good words. Not Daddy words.”
Charlie put a hand to her belly. “I swear this one will come out giving the world the finger and cursing.”
Bud whined, running back and forth in front of the door. Ian sighed and attached the leash. He stepped outside and Bud took off, barking and jumping against the leash until he managed to drag Ian out onto the lawn where he immediately squatted in the middle of Charlie’s azaleas and started to take a crap.
Yep. This was his life. Watching the dog crap. He was so building a fence. “You know you were supposed to be a guard dog. You were supposed to be a raging, feral beast who would take out anything in your way.”
Sort of like Ian had been at one time.
He’d been the bane of intelligence agencies. He’d been Dr. Death, raining down justice and protecting America.
Now he was a dumbass with a mortgage, a dog who seemed to be a bit constipated, two tiny chaotic things, and another on the way. No one even let him kill people anymore.
It was a never-ending cycle of waking up in the morning and seeing their faces, taking care of them, going to work, coming home, and going to bed with his wife.
It was kind of fucking awesome.
Sure, his younger self would likely tell him he’d sold out and he was a pathetic version of himself, but his younger self had been stupid as shit. His younger self thought a great time was following a known terrorist around for three weeks so he could find the cell. His younger self had needed a freaking shower, some decent food, and a comfy bed.
And a dog who didn’t take his time with the poop.
“Come on, Bud. Pinch off, man. We’ve got shit to do today.” Well, he did anyway. He was sure Bud would have a full day of licking his private parts and waiting for the girls to drop food. Bud seemed forever optimistic that one of these days the girls or Charlie was going to drop a ham in front of him.
A butterfly landed on the bush next to Bud and that was when he went into protective mode. He barked, the deep sound threatening to anyone who didn’t know what a wuss he was, and he pulled hard at his leash.
Hard enough to make Ian stumble and damn near break his toe on the garden gnome Alex had left as a joke. Hard enough to send Ian crashing down to his knee, pain flaring and making him curse.
Bud twisted again and Ian tripped over the riding ladybug thing Kala liked to push around the yard. He landed flat on his back, looking up at the sky.
Taken down by a freaking ladybug. And his back was spasming. The pain flared through him and he could feel his lower back seizing like a motherfucker.
Bud suddenly blocked out the sky, his big doggie face staring down.
“Don’t you dare.”
It was too late. Bud licked his face and Ian realized he shouldn’t have gotten up that morning. Nope. He should have stayed in bed and then he would be warm and happy and not having his face licked by a gargantuan mass of body odor and a tongue that licked its own ass from time to time.
God, if he didn’t die from breaking his spine he was going to catch some dog disease and waste away. Right here. Because he wasn’t sure he could move. “Bud, I need you to go get Charlie. Go on. Run and get her.” He let the leash drop. Bud simply sat down beside him. “Go get Charlie, boy. I think she’s got a ham for you. Go on.”
Bud laid his big head down on Ian’s chest.
Now he had a sleeping mutt and a garden gnome that was practically up his ass. He could feel the pointy cap thing attempting to violate him.
“Ian? Ian, I need you.”
Thank god. His wife would laugh her ass off, but at least she would be able to maybe help him up.
“Ian, I think the baby’s coming.”
Yep. It was that kind of day.

Review 

If you're a fan of Lexi Blake's Masters and Mercenaries series then you're sure to enjoy this book. With the unusual combination of short stories and recipes, this is a unique book that is lots of fun.

The short stories allow us to catch up with the original MacKay-Taggart team couples, plus the characters from the Topped spin off series. As with the full length novels in this series, these stories brilliantly combine humour, passion, romance and raw emotions. My favourite story features Ian and Charlie, and Big Tag is as hilariously sarcastic as ever. I'm totally in love with his dog, Bud, too!

Suzanne M. Johnson has written the recipes for this book, and they are all inspired by Sean Taggart's restaurant Top. They all sound delicious, but I would have liked photos to go with some of the recipes - this is mainly because I'm from the U.K and a lot of the Southern dishes are unfamiliar to me so I struggled to picture them. Like Ian Taggart I love anything lemon so I'm planning on trying out some of the lemon desserts - yum! 

This is a fabulous book, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Five stars!
