Baby Alpha Male

by Guest Blogger 12.12.2011

Guest Post by Jennifer Armentrout, author of Obsidian An early reviewer called Daemon Black from Obsidian a “baby alpha male” and when I saw this, I practically hooted with happiness. Funny thing is when I started writing Daemon’s character; I don’t think I wrote with him being an alpha—er, a baby alpha—in mind. Looking back, [...]

The Unexpected Virginity Surprise

by Keira 09.01.2011

The unexpected virginity surprise is one of the tropes in romance novels that I can either love or hate. How I feel about it comes down to several factors, but mostly my enjoyment from it or lack thereof comes around how the author handles the unexpected virginity surprise from start to finish. It’s like an [...]

Review: Bound By Honor (Men of Honor #1) by S.E. Jakes

by Sharon S. 05.10.2011

by Sharon S., guest reviewer This was an OMG! Read. As in OMG, tortured alpha-males with ooey gooey centers! <G>. I’ll admit the cover got my attention first (hawt) and then the blurb hooked me. This story is heavy in the BDSM and explicit erotic sex, and that isn’t usually my thing. I prefer a [...]
