The royals have their own sex club for….reasons.

Rogue Royal (Club Royal #1) by Elouise East

August 30, 2023 by carmelpie 5 Comments

Douglas, spare heir to the British crown, is caught with his pants down in an alley. His social media/PR manager, Maverick, is forced to work even more closely with him so as to prevent this from happening again. Along the way, their prejudices fade away, and the line between prince and employee begins to blur as Douglas introduces Maverick to the world of soft BDSM and gentle kink.

“Because love is real, and it happens everywhere. It even happens here.”

For the Love of April French by Penny Aimes

April 11, 2022 by faintingviolet 2 Comments

For the Love of April French is an immensely readable book with a strong authorial voice that is a wonderful fluffy romance playing in the D/s kink realm. It’s the story of April and Dennis who have a temporary no-strings sex agreement, but Dennis is secretly trying to woo April, which is a great trope to build an emotions-first BDSM romance around. Dennis and April are wonderfully flawed and human characters. Aimes writes with her characters humanities front and center. April and Dennis can be […]
