Vann's Victory by Sydney Presley


Being a Dom in secret—being mated to another wolf in secret—is something Vann has always done, but now he has the chance to be open about his whole life.

Vann grew up under the rule of an alpha at Crossways Compound, who controlled every aspect of his pack members’ lives. Used to obeying without question, Vann suddenly finds himself in a position where he can make his own decisions outside his sexual relationship. In the past, his trysts with his subby lover, Kip, have been in secret, snatched moments away from security cameras or listening devices. Now they’ve been welcomed at Highgate, a safe haven, life should work out beautifully.

But there’s something Vann has to do first. He has to return to his childhood compound to right the wrongs that were done there. Along with Kip and members of the Highgate security team, Vann has to play the biggest role of his life so far in order to bring down the alpha at Crossways and rescue some cross-bred cubs. It isn’t going to be easy, going against someone he’s been conditioned to obey, but for the sake of his pack and the safety of the cubs, he’ll do whatever it takes.

Kip is determined to be with Vann every step of the way. Usually, Kip is submissive in all aspects of their life, preferring to bow his head and only speak when he’s given permission. But their return to Crossways changes all that. The danger there is too great for Kip to wait for Vann’s instructions on everything he does. Kip knows that to keep Vann safe, he must become more dominant—or die trying.

Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of exhibitionism and voyeurism.

Publisher's Note: This book is best read in sequence as part of a series.

The second in the series, and follows straight on from the previous story, but with a new couple as the central duo.

Having witnessed Vann and Kip's D/s relationship and their close bond, it was good to see them develop as a pairing. The main focus of the story is liberating their clan from the oppression that has been the norm for so long. I enjoyed the drama, but preferred the revelations of the relationship between Vann and Kip more. I am looking forward to future installments, as the new status quo takes effect.

Sydney has always enjoyed writing. “There’s something about losing yourself in another world, where the real one ceases to exist and all your dreams and wishes can be placed on the page—dreams for a better planet where love isn’t questioned but accepted by all.”

When Sydney isn’t writing, there’s plenty of reading to be done. “I can’t imagine not reading every day. It would be weird not to have a book to hand because I’ve always had one nearby. Life without reading isn’t something I’d like to contemplate. The thought brings me out in hives.”

Sydney lives in a peaceful area where the hustle and bustle of the city doesn’t figure. “I left city life years ago. Too stressful for me. I prefer listening to the swish of leaves on the trees instead of tyres on tarmac. The twittering of birds instead of the chatter of people. Alone time to reflect and ponder is a must. A small portion of every day spent by myself is vital to my sanity and soul.”

Middle of Knight by Jewel E. Ann


The living seek forgiveness. The dead seek revenge.

A first love.
A last breath.
A haunting past.

Armed with a sinful past and an equally sinful body, Jackson Knight absolves his vow of celibacy to pursue Sergeant Monaghan’s unsuspecting—older—housekeeper.

Ryn Middleton, on the cusp of turning forty with a snarky daughter, a killer dog, and an abusive ex-husband, finds Jackson’s advances humorous and unbelievable. After intense negotiations including Vera Wang, Ed Sheeran, and sex four times a day, Ryn accepts Jackson’s marriage proposal on their first date.

What could possibly go wrong?

While struggling to lay claim to the woman of the dreams he never had, Jackson is forced to deal with a grief-stricken Jillian trying to hold on to her past without letting go of her future—the doctor who took her heart and the Sergeant who gave her a new one.

Beyond the hope for light, lies the middle of darkness, the illusion of truth, and a haunting past.

*WARNING - Contains explicit language and sexual content and subject matter pertaining to physical/sexual abuse.

Where to begin? Oh, where to begin! I felt positively bipolar as I read Middle of Knight, but in a good way. I use the term emotional rollercoaster to describe those books that make me feel the full gamut of emotions while reading. I love emotional rollercoasters when I’m reading a book. The catharsis of an emotional rollercoaster can make reading a book a soul cleansing experience for me. But emotional rollercoaster is too mild of a term for the journey Ann took me on in Middle of Knight. I think perhaps I’ll describe it as an emotional hurricane because while I was being whipped back and forth between laughing hysterically and bawling my eyes out, there were periods of calm the lulled me into a false sense of security much like the eye of a hurricane does and them BAM!!! I was ripped out of my feeling of safety and thrown right back into the thick of things. Repeatedly. And I loved every page of it.

In Middle of Knight we pick right up where End of Day finished with AJ in the hospital after being involved in a car accident. Fortunately AJ didn’t suffer any major injuries from the accident, but the news that is revealed was devastating. To AJ. To Jillian. To me. Yep, the book started off by sending me into a fit of tears. And while I won’t tell you what it is (which is going to make this a rather vague review when it comes to the role AJ plays in this installment) I will tell you to have your tissues handy because you’re going to need them … often. Jillian’s relationship with AJ took an unexpected turn I did not expect and that broke my heart as Jillian discovered that the depths of her strength were even deeper than she realized as she faced some of the most difficult decisions she’s had to make since her parents’ death. For the record, I’m tearing up as I write this review – that’s how much Middle of Knight impacted me. And just when Jillian doesn’t think things can get any worse, a ghost from her past shows up and sends her world spinning off its axis.

In addition to continuing Jillian and AJ’s relationship, Middle of Knight gave readers a much closer look at Jackson and boy would I love to have that closer look in person. The tatted up bad boy brother whose love of his sister is so obvious it will melt your heart shows us just how sexy 40 can be for a woman. Oh yes, Jackson has a thing for older women as Jillian tells us so eloquently in a memory “Jude likes older women – smart, older women. He said it’s hard to fuck a woman’s brain out if she doesn’t actually have a brain.” And Ryn Middleton has broken Jackson’s resolve to change Jude’s manwhoring ways … kinda. I loved watching the self-professed serial one-nighter fall for a woman as completely as he does Ryn. That his banter about her being his future wife and the mother of his children was serious while Ryn took it as a joke kept their relationship light, until it wasn’t. Considering the monster that her ex-husband is, Ryn has no idea that her “luck” in unintentionally capturing Jackson’s attention has nothing to do with his looks and sexual prowess – and didn’t that make for some seriously hot scenes – but rather that his protective instincts and training will likely make him her best weapon against her ex, whether she knows it or not. I feel that storm brewing and cannot wait to see it play out.

There is so much going on in this installment in the Jack & Jill series that the storyline is constantly moving. Because of the way that Jackson and Jillian’s past so strongly affects their present, Ann moves back and forth from the present to the past and does so seamlessly. There was no confusion as to when in time we were during the story and there are so many secrets revealed that my head was spinning, but not nearly as much as the new secrets that were hinted at. I need Dawn of Forever yesterday. I need to know what secrets Jackson learned about his parents and why he feels guilty about Claire’s death. I need to know who sent Jackson’s newest piano student and what she’s doing. I need to know if Jackson and Ryn are going to stay together. I need to know what Jillian’s ghost from the past is enduring. I need to know if the end – which by the way was the biggest tear-fest of the book for me – meant what I’m worried it meant. And I really, really, really need to know WHO IS SENDING THE TEXTS?!?!? Middle of Knight is another stellar book from Ann and an excellent addition to the series that has me salivating for the next installment already.

Pucked Up by Helena Hunting


Miller “Buck” Butterson has been banging his way through life ever since a puck to the face fixed his messed up front teeth. After five years in the NHL, deflecting goals on the ice and scoring them with puck bunnies, Miller has decided he’s ready for a girlfriend. A real, non-bunny girlfriend to take on dates, and not jump into bed with after five seconds of conversation.

Miller thinks he’s found that woman in his teammate’s sister. Except, unlike team captain and all-around nice guy Alex Waters—who happens to date his stepsister, Miller’s media reputation as a manwhore is well earned. Beyond that minor detail, Miller doesn’t know the first thing about relationships or the time and effort they require.

Miller learns—eventually—that if he wants to make Sunshine “Sunny” Waters fall for him, he's going to have to do a whole lot more than show her his stick skills in the bedroom.

I read this as a standalone without reading Pucked first, without issue, but I am kicking myself for not starting this series earlier.

I laughed out loud more times than I care to mention. The cringe worthy situations Miller kept getting himself into. Pucked Up is hilarious, but it's also sweet and touching. Miller "Buck" Butterson is a player, a manwhore. The media has played him as such. He has more selfies taken with "bunnies" than a lot of the other hockey players. The only issue is he's given it all up for Sunny. He's trying to stay faithful but getting caught on camera in compromising positions doesn't look good for him. Her brother Alex is on his team and engaged to his stepsister, he doesn't think Miller is good enough for Sunny. Sunny is tired of putting up with Miller's behavior. Can they make a relationship work, especially one that is long distance? Can he show her that being in a relationship is what he wants?

This is my first read by Ms. Hunting and I can assure you it won't be my last. Her writing draws you in, you get so invested in the characters. Once you are drawn in add the humor, the feels and it's a great story. I can't wait to see what happens in Pucked Over and you can bet I will be going back to read Pucked now that I know what a fantastic series this is.

Shannan☆☆☆☆
Feisty Princess is the second installment to A Sexy Manhattan Fairytale Series. I loved Naughty King and I had a hard time figuring out how Ms. Valentine was going to follow that one up, but just like all of her others she did it and did it well.

Alexander and Margo seemed to get themselves into a pickle while in Vegas. They learn pretty quick not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. After a drunken weekend Alexander and Margo end up married. What's worse than marrying your enemy? Marrying someone you find incredibly attractive that makes your body hum.

Alexander is still that cocky bastard but he's met his match with Margo. He needs her on his side but his need to be snarky can't always be stopped. I love the connection between Alexander and Margo. The sex scenes are hot and steamy while they may be falling for each other the dislike isn't far from the surface. I can't wait to see how the new development effects Margo and Alexander.


Ruthie☆☆☆
The second in a trilogy, this contains a temporary fix of the cliffhanger in book 1 – resolution must come in the third, surely ... and sets up the story very nicely. I would recommend that unless you have read Naughty King very recently, you read that again first, as the story does pick up the very next morning, so it is necessary to have your characters and plot clear going in. Then it is fun, feisty and flirtatious. The story is told from both points of view which is entertaining and fills in gaps for the reader, sometimes not from the character that one might expect. These two leads really, really do want to stay away from each other, but both circumstance and hot, hot magnetic chemistry keep drawing them back together.

Hopefully we will get the conclusion that we desire ... in book 3 – Ms. Valentine better be busy crafting it, ready for our enjoyment!


Johanna☆☆☆☆
Alexander and Margo are still dancing around each other in this next installment. The notoriously Naughty King can't believe his Vegas weekend has ended up with a twist and as usual Margo's panties are in a twist too. This was one of those reads where the banter held me captivated and the erotic encounters kept me glued to the pages. Can't wait for the next installment. Four stars for entertainment!

Cover Reveal – Full Domain by Kindle Alexander


Honor, integrity, and loyalty are how Deputy US Marshal Kreed Sinacola lives his life. A former SEAL now employed by the Special Operations Group of the US Marshal Service, Kreed spent most of his life working covert operations and avoiding relationships. Never one to mix business with pleasure, his boundaries blur and his convictions are put to the test when he finally comes face-to-face with the hot computer geek he’s been partnered with. Hell-bent on closing the ongoing case for his longtime friend, he pushes past his own limits and uncovers more than he expects.

Aaron Stuart strives for one thing: justice. Young and full of idealism, his highly sought after computer skills land him a position with the National Security Agency. Aaron’s biggest hazard at his job is cramped fingers, but all that changes when he is drawn into the middle of a dangerous federal investigation. Aaron gets more than he bargained for when the FBI partners him with a handsome and tempting deputy US marshal. His attraction to the inked up, dark-haired man provides another kind of threat altogether. Aaron tries desperately to place a firewall around his heart and fight his developing feelings, knowing one misstep on his part could ultimately destroy him.

The solution isn’t as easy as solving the case, which is treacherous enough as it is. But the growing sexual attraction between them threatens to derail more than just Kreed’s personal convictions as he quickly learns temptation and matters of the heart rarely fit easily into the rules he’s lived by. Will Kreed be able to convince Aaron to open his heart and face the fact that sometimes the answers aren’t always hidden in code?

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it... It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

Mine by Stacey Kennedy Blog Tour


Dmitri and Presley—the scorching-hot couple who started it all in the USA Today bestseller Claimed—return to save Club Sin in the exhilarating new short novel from Stacey Kennedy.

Dmitri Pratt is living out his dream. Not only does he own the ultimate playground for the BDSM lifestyle, he’s found a special connection with his deliciously sexy sub, Presley Flynn, the woman who complements him in ways that go far beyond the bedroom. But when an anonymous blackmailer threatens to expose the elite, high-profile members of Club Sin in a notorious tabloid, Dmitri’s perfect world spirals out of control.

Before she met Dmitri, Presley never imagined she would find a Master who could deliver on all her hottest fantasies. Dmitri’s love and his sensual artistry surprise her every day, until he suddenly turns distant and cold. For the first time, Presley wonders where Dmitri’s heart truly lies: with her, or with Club Sin. As the life they’ve built together begins to crumble, Presley can only trust that Dmitri has what it takes—to defend what’s his, and win back the woman he cannot live without.

Mine is intended for mature audiences.

“Club Sin is no longer safe.”

Six words Dmitri Pratt had never imagined saying rushed from his mouth, and having said them out loud made them real. Sitting behind the cherrywood desk in his home office, Dmitri faced the men he’d appointed to oversee his exclusive BDSM dungeon, Club Sin.

Nestled by the bay window in the corner of the room, Club Sin Masters Kyler Morgan and Aidan McKnight sat on the black leather couch, frowns creasing their brows. Next to them on the wingback chairs, the other Club Sin Masters, Miles Sanchez and Porter Marshall, stared straight ahead in evident confusion.

Gutted by the realization of what lay before him, Dmitri shifted his focus to the Club Sin submissive standing near the doorway, awaiting his direction. “Please explain our situation, Sarah.”

Sarah’s head was bowed. Her long black hair curtained her face, yet it couldn’t shield the quick intake of breath passing through her cherry-red lips. “I’m not sure if you all know this, but I work for Gotcha!

Porter, a private investigator—who was physically suited for his job, being tall and solidly built—asked, “The tabloid?”

“Yep, that one.” Sarah’s head lifted, and she gazed at the men through her thick lashes, revealing shy brown eyes. “Earlier tonight my boss delivered an envelope of pictures to my house.”

Dmitri tightened his fists on his desk, preparing himself.

Sarah continued, “The pictures show some of the Club Sin members. Their names are on the photos.”

Silence.

The police officer, Kyler, shot to his feet. His light brown hair was disheveled from his sudden movement, and his fists were clenched at his sides. “Someone has been talking pictures of us . . . here?”

Sarah shifted on her feet, giving a quick nod. “I’ve asked my boss for a few days to investigate the pictures. I thought that might buy you some time.”

“That was smart of you, Sarah,” said Aidan, a defense attorney and the most serious of the men.

Dmitri noted Sarah’s small smile at the compliment before she added, “You have to act fast to find the leak. I’ve got a week to investigate before she prints the story.”

Dmitri considered suing the tabloid. They could intervene before the story broke. The photographer could be resentful, though, and simply post the photos on the Internet. Frustrated by the thought, he scanned the faces of his close friends, knowing the decision also belonged to them. “Thank you for relaying what you’ve learned, Sarah. I’d ask that you excuse yourself now.” She turned to exit the room. Before she left, Dmitri added, “Please keep this information to yourself until I can talk to the members.”

“I understand.” She shut the door behind her.

Silence remained in her absence.

Sarah had told him about the pictures a half hour ago, and Dmitri had yet to accept it. Conflicted by his personal feelings and his responsibility to Club Sin members, he examined the twelve pictures on his desk. The faces staring back were of himself and his submissive, Presley, plus the Club Sin Masters and their submissives, along with the lone bachelor, Miles.

The only Master not pictured was Sawyer Quinn, which told Dmitri that the pictures had been taken sometime in the last year. Sawyer had left behind Club Sin and the BDSM lifestyle before marrying Chloe Nash five months ago. A frown pulled on Dmitri’s mouth as he also noted images of a well-known heart surgeon who was a Dominant and a couple of submissives who had high-powered jobs.

While the pictures didn’t show anyone inside the dungeon, all of them showed women in a vulnerable moment, with wind catching coats or skirts and revealing a garter belt or lacy panties beneath. Dmitri didn’t doubt that someone had spent a lot of time staking out his house, waiting for the perfect moment to capture the damning pictures.

Aidan rose from his place on the couch and approached Dmitri’s desk. Brows drawn together over his gray eyes, he picked up a picture of himself and his wife. In bold writing it was captioned Aidan and Cora McKnight. “What the fuck is this?” he growled.

“Believe me, I wish I knew.” Dmitri gripped the arms of his chair, staying put as the other Masters positioned themselves around Aidan to see the pictures. Waves of anger ignited in the room, making the air thick.

Porter’s hazel eyes blazed when he saw the photo of his wife, Kenzie. “Does Sarah have any suspicions of who’s behind this?”

Dmitri shook his head. “Her boss is keeping the person’s identity a secret.”

Miles grabbed one of the photos. “Is Sarah in any of these pictures?”

“No.” Dmitri understood the implication. “But she brought the information forward. I doubt she’s involved.” He drew in a long breath, settling his rage, not wanting to accuse anyone who didn’t deserve it. “In fact, I can’t imagine anyone in Club Sin doing this to the members.”

Nods followed.

Porter cursed at the photo in his hand and then dropped it on the desk. “What about enemies? Anyone piss off someone lately?”

Of course the private investigator went straight to the motive of vengeance, Dmitri thought. As Dmitri watched each Master shake his head, even he couldn’t come up with a suspect. “The casino brings some heated conversations with my competitors”—that went hand in hand with being the president of one of Vegas’s top casinos—“but that said, I don’t imagine anyone would feel threatened enough by me to do this.”

Aidan brushed a hand across the stubble on his jaw and nodded in agreement. “I can make enemies in my line of work. But nothing that warrants this defamation.”

Kyler crumpled the picture of himself and his wife, Ella, before tossing it in the garbage can. “We all piss off someone in some way every day.” His lips thinned. “Christ, this could ruin us all.”




Reviews by the Wicked Reads Review Team

Angie☆☆☆
This is a short novel involving Dmitri and Presley from the very first book of the series. While the book starts off with a great prologue I was disappointed in most of the book. In the prologue we see how much love and chemistry there is between Dmitri and Presley still and then BAM all of the sudden the mood changes and honestly at first I thought it was a joke or a dream or something. Dmitri found out some bad news regarding the club, he has a meeting with his other Doms and then when he comes back from that meeting all of the sudden Presley is doubting everything. It just didn’t make sense that soon. The doubt should have happened gradually, not after an hour long meeting that she was excluded from. The whole book just seemed thrown together for me. The chemistry we felt in previous books and even the prologue was gone. The ending was good but honestly, the author could have just had a short story with the ending as a way to end the series, she didn’t need to throw a book together. I am sure most people will love the book but it just wasn’t for me.

Characters: Well written
Sex: Yes but not much as previous books
Religious: No
Would I recommend to others: Yes
More than one book in the series: Yes
Genre: BDSM/Romance
Would I read more by this author: Yes


Rachael☆☆☆
I loved the book before this one so I was excited for this one.... however, I felt like this wasn't nearly as good. In fact, I found myself so bored that I started skimming pages, which I never do. So many things were repeated so much that it really lost my interest.

I didn't care for the way Presley gave up on Dmitri so fast or the way Dmitri treated her when he was handling such a stressful situation. I think they both showed they really didn't have the relationship they thought they did because of the way both of them handled it.

I think a big issue was presented and then fumbled along to solve the mystery and then resolved so quietly it became an almost non-issue, which was sad, except for the drama it caused which was completely unnecessary.

Sure, the end couple of scenes were cute and helped redeem the book, but not completely. I could see there was a set up for another series (or likely anyway) with the men in San Francisco and in the end it felt like that was what this book was for…to wrap up this series and to set up for another series, not about the characters it should've been about.


Lee'Anne☆☆☆☆
Hot, sexy, quick read! This is the first book I’ve read in the series and I had no problems reading it as a stand-alone. Club Sin is in trouble when someone threatens to expose the members. Dmitri, owner of the club, is extremely stressed about the possibility of the members being exposed and he’s pulling away from his sub Presley. Presley is a strong woman who only signed on to be a sub in the bedroom, on a relationship front she wants a man that will stand beside her not push her behind him and she puts her foot down when Dmitri won’t share any of his burden with her. Dmitri is just trying to keep Presley from suffering any guilt over the anything happening with the club while he gets it all straightened out.

I really enjoyed the quick progression of this short read. The author manages to squeeze in great humor, steamy sex, and intriguing mystery. I highly recommend checking it out.


Shannan☆☆☆
Disclaimer* This is my first read of this series. I read as a standalone, but I wish I would have read the series in order to get the fullest out of this book. I do want to go back and read the previous six books, the review may change after some of the information is put into context.*

Club Sin, a private BDSM club was created by Dmitri to honor his friend Charles. When someone has grudge against a person in the club, the life in Club Sin will never be the same. Who is the target? How can Dmitri keep everyone safe? Will Dmitri and Presley's relationship make it through the drama at Club Sin?

The first scenes were especially hot and steamy. Unfortunately it went downhill from there. The conflict/resolution happened very early compared to most reads with what seemed to be a rush to the finish. I felt no connection to the characters after that first scene. (*This is why I am hoping a read of the others in the series will provide that connection.*) I like the style of writing and of the series.


Ruthie☆☆☆☆
This is the final book in the series, and is a short novel rounding out the story of Dmitri and Presley. It has a hesitant start, as the loyal reader would question the behaviour of both leads – but as the story unfolds, mainly over just a few short days, it makes more sense. The gang all come together for a big event and the epilogue serves to reassure the skeptical reader.

Stacey Kennedy is the USA Today bestselling author of the Club Sin series. She writes deeply emotional romances about powerful men and the wild women who tame them. When she’s not plugging away at a new story, she’s either hiking, canoeing, relaxing around a campfire, or obsessing over Penny Dreadful, Game of Thrones, and Outlander. Stacey lives in southwestern Ontario with her husband (who puts any of the heroes in her books to shame), their two young children, and her other babies: a mini labradoodle named Jax and a chocolate labrador named Murphy.
