There are authors out there who are well known to 'recycle' their sex scenes, hardly changing things up at all beyond substituting character names. Those authors could never produce a collection like this. Cara Bristol presents here a selection of some of the 'naughty bits' from some of her best-selling books, and what a collection this is. I'd only read one of Cara's books before this, but any of these snippets could easily convince me to go and start happily one-clicking aw

One look at the cover model and I was hooked, honestly. I mean, who wouldn't be? Mmm mmm. The story lives up to the promise of the cover. When Lila's motorbike breaks down in a remote town, she's at the mercy of the local mechanic. Sam turns out to be not only competent, but gorgeous - and a nice guy, too, because Lila's skanky ex has done her a Bad Turn. The chemistry between Sam and Lila is scorching hot from the first moment, and it's all too believable when they absolutel

Unavoidable is Part 1 of the Royal Affair trilogy. It's not very often that a book has me squeaking and hugging myself with glee while reading it, a huge sappy smile on my face as I savour every delicious page. Unavoidable is that book. Everything about it is fantastic; I found myself rooting for Princess Lucy from the very first page, from her obvious unhappiness at the role she is trapped in by her birthright, to her desire to be more than just the figurehead role for her p

Full title: Let’s Get Digital; How To Self-Publish, And Why You Should by David Gaughran I’m going to preface this review by saying that I have about a hundred books on self-publishing, being an indie author, writing to market, writing methods and marketing your writing. I’ve been looking for the definitive work to recommend to other authors considering self-publishing, just starting out on that road of discovery I’ve been stumbling along for a year or so now. I think I just

Full title: The Pro Writer Mindset: What It Really Takes To Be A Bestselling Author I’m going to start this review in an odd place; by saying that the thing that kept coming to my mind most often while reading this book was a quote from The LEGO Movie: “Believe! I know that sounds like a cat poster, but it’s true!” I’ve never been an ‘imagine your way to success’ kind of person. But that’s not what this book is about, or rather, that’s not ALL that this book is about. Yes, th

After the shitshow that was the last book I had to read for review - and another dreadful one I haven't managed to get up the mental fortitude to review yet - I needed something to cleanse the palate. Some GOOD erotica, by an author I've learned to trust to get it right. So seeing that Leah Pink had released another in her Anonymous Adventures series about a sex scenario tester, I dived in with happy anticipation, and was not disappointed. Indebted is the scorching-hot fourth

Getting your book reviewed by a popular book blogger is a dream for any author, but for indie authors it can seem like yet another insurmountable hurdle on the road to 'cracking the market'. Let's face it, getting your book reviewed at all is an uphill struggle if you're an erotica writer. A lot of reviewers don't necessarily want all and sundry to know about their occasional kinky reading habits. Self-promotion can suck up a lot of hours you really wish you could devote to w

This is a really, really excellent book on how to get started in self-publishing erotica. The author doesn't go into a great deal of detail regarding the actual how of writing, though she does lay out a quick and easy 'format' to use for stories of 4-8,000 words, and she talks about the importance of editing, making a great cover and writing good blurbs. The book also covers the tools that the author uses to write and gather ideas, including Scrivener and Evernote, how to pre
