Secrets

"I really enjoy these Secret books. They introduce to me to some new authors and keep my comfortable with my old standbys. This books contained these stories. <br/>An Act of Love by Jeanie Cesarini. I enjoyed this one which was about an old "retired" movie star coming together with a rising star and helping her overcome a horrid sexual past. It started out a bit weird but turned into a sexy, sensual story worth reading. <br/>The next story was Enslaved by Desiree Lindsay. It was a bit too historical for me with the flowery language and all but still worth a read. It's all about hidden desires and had a few too many ill-placed morals for me but the reasons do become clear later in the story. <br/>The Bodyguard by Betsy Morgan and Susan Paul which was about a female and male body guard and their starlet client who's "drug of choice was men". As she heated up her bedroom while they had to watch on cameras to make sure she was safe, they tried to avoid heating up each other. It had a good theme but went way too fast and was way too short. The ending was very abrupt and had me looking for the rest of the story. <br/>Emma Holly's The Love Slave was the star of the book for me. (of course!) It was about a princess and her three love slaves. It had her usual open-minded approach to sex, wit, charm and really left me with a good feeling."

"Another quaint story by Romeo Alexander. Alex and Cid meet when Alex experiences a strange reaction to an alcoholic drink. Guided by his instinct that Alex is a good guy, Cid asks him out when they meet in Cid’s clinic the next day. What Cid doesn’t know is that Alex is in Witsec. The two start seeing each other more and things come to a head when Cid walks into a situation that was meant for Alex. <br/><br/>There were a few places where I scratched my head.<br/>1. Although Cid mentions medical school a bunch of times and is clearly working as a medical doctor in a clinic, Alex makes reference to him having a Ph.D.<br/>2. At the end (which you can’t see by looking at the TOC) we learn that Alex’s real name is Rico, but his dead bother is names Rio?!?<br/>3. Ken reads Cid in on Alex’s involvement with a criminal organization very soon after learning that the Marshals were less than diligent in keeping up with the people after Cid. What if Cid was secretly in on the plot to hurt Alex? <br/>4. Then when Ken mentions moving them (Cid and Alex) he talks about having a team nearby. The Marshals, who have run WitSec since 1971 are like any other federal agency with offices around the country, including Maine.<br/><br/>But minus my very tiny issues (mostly because I am a weirdo) this was such a sweet and pleasant read!! You will love Alex and Cid together.<br/><br/>I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review."

"I’m not well. That cliffhanger!! I need to reflect. This will be either five or four star read. Full review to come"
