I thought no one could tame me until I met him… 


My life revolved around two things— sex and power. As a sex therapist, I helped couples with their intimacy issues while appearing to lead a typical single life. Although I lived a civilized life during the day, by nightfall I transformed into my sadistic, dominating persona. 

When a session with my submissive left him severely injured, I found myself sitting in Xavier Bennett’s office for court-ordered therapy. It was one thing to reveal the skeletons in my closet, but it was a different ball game to confess these demons to my colleague. Little did I know, he harbored dark secrets of his own. 

After receiving an invitation to assist Xavier with his marriage retreat, I soon learn his intentions weren't what they seemed. What I thought would be a relaxing work-related vacation turned into a mental bloodbath as we both fought for dominance. Walls will come tumbling down and someone’s bound to get hurt. 

There can only be one Master. 
Who will come out on top and who will surrender?





Gia. Sex therapist. Sadist. Power. Slaves. Domme. Broken.

Her professional life as a sex therapist makes everything about her seem normal, but it's not.  She seems to have a strong command on couples sexual behavior, but she doesn't.  She seems so in control, but she isn't.  Her control is exercised with her slaves, but even that has been known to go awry. One thing she knows is love and relationships, like her friends have, isn't for her.

Xavier. Marriage therapist. Loving. Slaves. Dom. Broken.

Xavier is assigned Gia as a court-appointed client, but Gia can't stand Xavier. Her friends and co-workers all see how he looks at her, but she refuse to acknowledge it. She loathes him. And the last thing she wants to do is reveal or discuss her personal demons with a colleague. 

Then he comes up with the idea of a marriage retreat and invites Gia to spend the week with him in the cabin in exchange for a letter to the court stating she has completed her therapy.  It seems like a perfect solution for her since she's trying to find a way to get away from Dr. Bennett. Or is it?

The revealing week in the cabin brings to light that Xavier is a Dom and he, too, has sexual slaves. Let the power struggle begin.

Many more secrets come out during that week. It's a week that neither of them will soon forget.

 Who wins? Time to 1-click! This is a must read book if you enjoy BDSM romance!

Wicked Steps by Cory D. Cyr - Review



Title: Wicked Steps
Author: Cory Cyr
Genre: Erotic Adult Romance


Strong language, explicit sexual situations, M/F. F/F. 18+ If anyone had asked ten years ago, I never would have imagined I’d be a thirty-five-year-old widow today. I could tell you I married Hartman Wick out of love, but it’s complicated. We were friends. He was dying. And he needed me. He also made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Of course, I agreed with the very best of intentions. But we all know what the road to hell is paved with. All I ever dreamed of was owning my own gallery. A place where my best friend and I could introduce the masses to inspiring and new artists. Hartman promised me the deed to the gallery, wealth, and security for the rest of my life. 
Instead, I find myself in a war with his estranged son Kieran—my stepson and one of the most prolific painters, known for his erotic shock art. He’s been plotting revenge against his father for years, and now that Daddy’s dead, he’s seized the opportunity. Between the constant battles, heated exchanges, and threats of blackmail, I find myself inexplicitly drawn to this twenty-four-year old. He’s beautiful, seductive, arrogant, and evil. Not only is he a gifted artist, but he’s certainly inherited some of his father’s more unsavory traits. He truly is a Wick. But then he takes things too far and pushes me to my breaking point. I’ve had enough. In retaliation, I make a plan. And I almost feel sorry for him—almost. I’m sure, even as a child, he was never read a single fairy tale. Poor bastard. He has no idea how truly wicked a stepmother can be.










This book was another amazing work of art! The story is mind-blowing and drew me in immediately, and held me captive until the final words were read.

Wicked was tattooed on his arm, it was in his heart, it consumed him, it was his name in the art world, but it was understating the degree of anger and hate Kieran Wick truly felt. Kieran's crash course for revenge had him vying to unseat Satan and take over the title of hell's ruler. He'd been exacting his plan in his mind - his father's widow must pay for his father's mistakes, period. He planned to do to her what he wanted to do to his father - ruin her. Then he met her.

Ellery St. Claire had suffered at the hands of Kieran's father in a five-year marriage from hell. She knew evil first hand, she had married him. When he died, she thought it couldn't get any worse. Ellery wanted to regain her life. She had been promised financial security and the art gallery. She just wanted to salvage her life and find her happiness. She was freed of the devil's reigns. The she met his son.

Kieran and Elle's clash is a list of adjectives including intense, heated, passionate, and unexpected.

 There's a fine line between love and hate, and these two broken sparring individuals walk a tightrope. They've both suffered at the hands of Kieran's father. So many people have. But can they get past the hate and vindictiveness?

When you despise one human being so much, you lose yourself and can make some of the worst decisions of your life.

When you love one human being so much, you can lose yourself and can make some of the worst decisions of your life.

I've read every one of Cory's book and love them all, but this one is absolutely fantastic!

Carly Reynolds doesn’t have much faith in men. She no longer trusts her heart to lead—not after doing her so wrong. Raising her sons alone, Carly must learn to stand on her own. But she’s stronger now, wiser, and determined to move forward.

Derek Taylor, the sexy tatted drummer for Three Ugly Guys, doesn’t have much time for women, except to hook up and get off. He’d rather focus on writing music and living the career he’s always dreamed. Fate may have other plans.

Dr. Garrett Brooks is the talk of Children’s Hospital. As the new surgical resident, he is young, charming, and attractive. He takes an immediate interest in Carly but his demanding work schedule and her single mom status don’t leave much opportunity for dating.

Between love interests, two boys to raise, and a full time nursing job, Carly’s ability to stand strong is put to the test. And when strange things start to transpire Carly must face the reality that her past has come back to haunt. Can the woman she’s become dare to hope for love again? And which man will win her heart?

Uncovering Hope is the third and final book in the Uncovering Love series, but it can also be read as a standalone. Contains adult themes and explicit content and is intended for mature audiences.





(Teasers were made by a reader)






Carly is a devoted mother of two who has had her share of bumps in the road with her ex-husband. The last thing she wants is to have a repeat of that, so she's decided to focus on her children, her job as a nurse to children with cancer, and her family - not a relationship. But her strategy is met with not just one, but two men who are trying to win her over.

Derrick Taylor, a local band member, has set his sights on Carly. He's a tattooed drummer that oozes sex appeal. Women throw themselves at him, and he has a black book that would make most men envious. Women at his beckon call. They'll do whatever he wants, all he has to do is call them. But the women in the black book aren't who he desires.

Dr. Garrett Brooks is a gorgeous surgeon who has the nurses and hospital staff drooling. 

Derrick appears like a high-profile risk since he travels frequently with the band. Carly got a chance to see groupies in action at a party and doesn't want to be part of it.

Dr. Brooks seems more stable financially and he's more romantic. He's a safer bet and Carly goes out with him.

Things aren't always what they seem. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Be careful what you wish for.
Remember those sayings?
