Faking It

by Pam McKenna

Synopsis

An erotic romance novella!

Britt Munro faces seven days of sexual servitude at a swanky Hamptons beach house, being shared by the hottest two men she's ever met. It's either that or prison after she tries to sell millionaire art collector Garrett Harvey a fake nineteenth-century masterpiece she painted herself. Garrett's art-expert buddy Jack turns her punishment into a ménage à trois--his reward for spotting the forgery. Garrett and Jack are both inventive, energetic lovers, but only one touches her heart. Only one makes her yearn for something real, even after she discovers she's not the only one keeping secrets. Once the week is up, she'll never see him again. Months later, her past returns with a vengeance, testing both her courage and the depth of her ex-lover's feelings.

My Thoughts

When Britt tries to sell one of her paintings, a forged nineteenth-century masterpiece, to sexy millionaire  Garrett, she gets more than she bargained for when she gets caught.  Her punishment is seven days of sexual fun with Garrett and his friend Jack- or go to jail. Ummm, tough choice......or not!

In Faking It, Pam McKenna proves once again that she can write not only a solid erotic romance, but also incorporate some fun, witty dialogue as well that really engages the reader throughout.  There was so much to like in this book.  The dialogue between the three characters was so hilarious, I found myself laughing out loud several times.  When I wasn't laughing, I was wondering who turned off the A/C in the room because the sex scenes were HOT!  Who knew one could have so much fun with a chin-up bar?  (Note to self:  Add chin-up bar to Amazon wish list!)

This well written, provocative story is hot, steamy and is the perfect read for a lazy afternoon.  Faking It has it all - great sex, awesome story line and hot male characters!  Fans of erotic romance will not want to miss out reading this short but satisfying novella.

My Thoughts

WOW - just WOW!  I really enjoyed this story.  So much hot and steamy goodness in the pages of this short but sexy novella!

At the beginning, Kom seemed to be an egotistical prick with a lot of ex-wife baggage, but as the photo op and the story progressed, the man really grew on me and I loved him!

I liked the fact that Darla was just your typical girl wanting desperately to make her fiancé happy and willing to go outside the box to do just that.  I don't condone the cheating aspect of the story, but heck, this is fiction after all and in the end, she finally figured out what she truly wanted - and needed.

Photo Play is pretty freaking hot!  I was instantly sucked into this sexy and captivating story and could not put it down.  It was a satisfying quickie that brought a smile to my face with the happy ending.  This is the second novella I have read by Pam McKenna and it is my favorite so far.  If you love Erotic/BDSM stories, then this is a must read!

4 Stars for this pantie drenching novella!

Binding Agreement 

by Pam McKenna 

Erotic Romance Novella

Date Published: July 2014

~ Synopsis ~    

A chance encounter on a moonlit beach draws sensible, cautious Kay Denehy into a night of anonymous passion and surrender with a ruthlessly dominant stranger. As John Randall introduces her to the exotic thrills of bondage and discipline, she discovers who she really is under the prim schoolteacher exterior—a sexual submissive who needs the strict and ardent guidance of a take-no-prisoners Dom like him. John carries more than his share of emotional baggage, the result of a tragedy for which he feels responsible. Though he cares for Kay, he refuses to pursue a relationship, certain he could only bring her pain. He pushes her away even as his unconscious dream self turns her into a sex slave to be punished and enjoyed ménage-style by two other zealous and demanding Doms. For the first time in her life, Kay knows what she needs, and who she needs, to be sexually and emotionally fulfilled. She knows, too, the path John must take to escape his dark places—if only he’ll trust her to lead the way.

~ My Thoughts ~

Kay lives a boring and straight-laced, unfulfilled life.  After a near death experience, she now wants to live life to the fullest.  When she meets John on the beach during a midnight swim in the ocean, and has a night filled with intense BDSM sex, her life will never be boring again.

This was a very intense read for me.  Although it only has 111 pages, it seemed much longer than that.  The sexual scenes are HOT and STEAMY and EROTIC.  With over the top vivid descriptions and the hot erotic sex scenes, this story will have even the prudest individuals fanning themselves and begging for more! 

I really don’t think the cover matches this story though.  It leads the reader to believe they are about to read something light and sweet and it is nothing of the sort.  What is in between the pages is hard, hot and at times dark. 

Overall, this was a good book that I enjoyed.  Ms. McKenna definitely has a talent for crafting an amazing erotic reading experience.  If you like to read a book with intense sex scenes and BDSM, then look no further than Binding Agreement.

My rating 4 out of 5 stars

~ Excerpt ~

She didn’t move. Hardly dared breathe. “What do you want?” she whispered.

“You know.”

His fingertips slipped under her damp hair to lightly stroke the back of her neck. She shivered and closed her eyes. His warm breath curled into her nostrils. She inhaled deeply, drawing him in.

He said, “Open your eyes.”

She did. His dark gaze reached deep into her.

“What do you want?” he asked.

I want. I want.

She knew how to answer I should. I must. The occasional I need.

Kay Denehy had never been an I want kind of girl.

But she wanted now. The wanting squirmed over her skin from her scalp to her toes. It gathered heavily in her breasts and between her legs.

“I’m scared,” she confessed, her voice barely audible.

“I know. You don’t do this kind of thing.”

She shook her head.

“But you will now. With me.” It wasn’t a question. “Let’s get the voir dire out of the way. I’m not harboring any unsavory diseases. I’m guessing the same is true of you.” He waited for her to nod, then added, “Do I need to use a rubber?”

“No, I’m… I’m on the Pill.” She couldn’t believe she was having this discussion with a complete stranger. Everything was happening so fast.

He cupped the back of her neck and pressed a kiss to her forehead, his lips warm and firm. “You can leave at any time. I won’t stop you.”

What a strange thing to say, she thought, as a knot of trepidation settled in her gut.

He sat back and looked her over. With one hand he gathered her T-shirt at the waist. He twisted it in his fist, tugging to stretch the material tight over her breasts. Her nipples prickled. He stared. Boldly, unapologetically.

When his other hand came up, she thought he was going to caress her. Instead he ripped the material away from the neckband, exposing one breast. Kay flinched, her pulse thunderous in her ears. How could she have thought his eyes kind? she wondered, staring at him. She could boil in those eyes.

His movements were leisurely, as if he had all the time in the world to enjoy her. He tugged on her hair, pulling her head back over the rolled arm of the sofa. His other hand slid under her back to lift her, sharply bowed, like some pagan offering.

She couldn’t see him, could only stare at the ceiling as his scalding mouth closed over her nipple. She jerked and cried out. He suckled her hard while she writhed and bucked as if to pitch him off her. Her hands clawed at his shoulders, his flesh hard and unyielding under the soft waffle-knit shirt.

Finally he lifted his head and hers. “Tear the rest of it.”

“Wh-what?”

“The shirt. Rip the other side.”

As if she were a detached observer, she watched her hand grab hold of the material still attached to the neckband. She pulled, but it refused to come free. Patiently he waited. She brought her other hand up and, using both, managed to tear it.

He said, “Good.”

Lying before this stranger fully dressed but with her breasts flagrantly bare, Kay felt a surge of alarm. What was she doing? She’d never done anything like this in her life. She’d never even imagined it.

You’re doing what you promised yourself, the small, brave part of her returned. Taking risks, living life.She just hadn’t known it would be so scary.

I want…I want…

I want this man to make love to me. I want him to keep looking at me this way. With an intensity that both frightened and inflamed her.

He pulled her to a sitting position and drew her arms up to link her hands behind her neck. She felt her breasts lift, felt strands of hair tangle in her trembling fingers. He sat back and studied her–her form, her expression and, she suspected, her level of compliance.

“Very nice,” he said at last. Rising, he pushed the coffee table well away from the sofa. “Stand up.”

She did, dropping her hands to her sides. He replaced them behind her neck and gave them a little squeeze, a wordless reprimand.

She said, “How–”

“Don’t speak. Unless I ask you a question.” His tone was dispassionate. “You may make other sounds if you can’t help yourself, but no words. And don’t move when I’ve positioned you as I want you.”

Kay was torn between outrage and curiosity. Between her self-protective instincts and her burgeoning arousal.

I can leave anytime, she reminded herself. He won’t stop me.

He watched her face, watched the clash of conflicting emotions she couldn’t hope to conceal. Finally he said, “Take off the pants.”
