*Book source ~ A review copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Margo Winters and Nathan Burke have settled into a fairly happy for now life on Slave World. They killed the bad guy, freed the slaves and Nathan’s sister, Donna, seems to be on the mend. However, Margo wants her old ship back when she gets word of where it will be. She wants them to go and snatch it back from the men who stole it from her and sold her into slavery. Nathan needs persuading, but finally gives in. Little do they know a relatively simple albeit hairy and dangerous ship retrieval will affect their lives in a seriously huge way. They have no idea what’s coming and how it will change them, but they’re about to find out.

Ho-ly Shit! I spent the majority of this book with my mouth hanging open. The imagination and creativeness blew me away and the writing carried me along in a flurry of page turning to see what would happen next. The only thing preventing me from finishing this book in one sitting was Life. Gotta hate when you have to be a responsible adult. Dammit.

I love, love, love Nathan. I would claim him for my own if I could. Margo is becoming a serious nut bunny though. Whew! And the pony DNA? I gotta say the whole pony mutation is what dropped my rating from a 5 to a 4.5. The extreme BDSM that Margo is subjected to is way beyond my comfort zone, too, but the whole book is well-written although it does have some minor editing issues. There are light moments in this book, but readers beware…it is also dark. It’s not in any way, shape or form a light fluffy erotic read. Hot, yes. Sugary, no.

Wroth and Snake? I.Love.Them. I absolutely want to see more of them as well as the new world Eden and I definitely want to know what the hell is going down on Slave World. Donna is one fascinating character, too and I’m very much looking forward to seeing her in action. Donovan and Ashley scare me. They need to die. 

Be warned that there is a cliffhanger in this book. There’s no way to get all the story lines tied up by the end which I realized at 94%. Yes, I was so into reading that I didn’t know I was so close to the end with no way to ties things up until I happened to look in the corner of Stargate (my Paperwhite). Noooooo! Ah, well. Sometimes that’s the way things need to be. I’m looking forward to book 3 and hope the wait won’t be too long. *taps foot*

Nicholi's Vengeance by J.A. Jaken
Read from October 6th, 2013 till now - Unable to finish




DNF! Might re-attempt. Main character stepping all over my pet peeve.

I could not finish it. Stuck at 20%. The characters was pissing me off. That MC should be wearing a skirt. Oh gawd! his whining is particularly nerve-grating. Yes unfortunately this book has triggered one of my biggest pet peeve - whinny characters especially main characters.

I might try to pick it up again, one fine day, maybe, just maybe. It's not healthy to wish for those brutes that captured the MC earlier had cut his throat instead of letting him off.

Pony Play (Sealed with a Kink, #3) by Sean Michael

My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Recommended for: Ponyplay first timer. Even vanilla readers could read this one.
Read on April 28, 2014 — I own a copy, read count: 1

Chokes on the cloyingly sweet ponyplay

The amount of unicorns prancing happily in a brightly lit meadow suffocates my brain. I am disappointed it's not what I have been expecting. So much for breaking in a new pony, it's more like the sweet surrender of an airhead. 

Perhaps I am spoiled by all those dark hardcore ponyplay stories. There wasn't much to look forward to in this story. The interaction between the groom and his ponyboy lacks the intensity to engage me.  This is due to the groom aka trainer kept explaining every single thing that he is going to do to the protag each time he is going to do something and this my friend, is an instant excitement and mood killer. For what is there to look forward to when we already know what is coming? Zero element of surprise makes this a boring book to read. I might as well go read a pony gentling manual. 

So much telling, lack of showing, readers dubbed as mentally challenged.

If there is such a thing as vanila-ponyplay, voila! They even ride into the sunset hand-in-hand, that is figuratively speaking. Yes, I do not buy their insta-attraction and insta-commitment at all. Unless both are just airheads with zero common sense. 

I am giving it a 2 stars because I quite like some of the foreplay, sex and certain parts of the training. 


I did like the cover tho. Because of it I was compelled to read this book.
