When I saw the release info for Carnal Machines I knew I’d find at least one or two stories that would tantalize my kinky taste buds. DL King is known for putting together high quality anthologies and her willingness to include alternative pairings and content is one of the reasons I follow her work. I wasn’t disappointed. So join me on my virgin journey into the world of Steampunk and a book filled with diversity in every way imaginable.

As with most anthologies some stories will really grab you and others may not. I’m going to highlight just a bit of each story and then urge you to pick up the book and find your own favorites.

The first story in the book really caught my attention. Human Powered, by Teresa Noelle Roberts. I love a strong female character that knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. It’s a storyline we don’t normally see in m/f stories, but Teresa definitely delivered it in this one. I laughed out loud at some of the one liners in this piece. Teresa has a wonderful sense of humor and isn’t afraid to use it to get her character’s points across. Her main female character Claire is witty and strong-willed and determined to make her invention a success. She isn’t afraid to ask for help but she definitely isn’t the type to stand back and let a man take over either. The sex in the end is hotter than hell too. DL King picked a perfect story to kick things off. If the wedding package the two scientific geniuses plan to create ever becomes available in real life I will be first in line at the justice of the peace just to get one.

In The Servant Question, Janine Ashbless gives us a wonderfully sordid tale of a inventor who is willing to do anything to please his clients in order to achieve higher social status. He gets quite a surprise when he answers a desperate plea for help and discovers what type of chores his tireless housemaid is really being used for.

Renee Michaels presents, Sleight of Hand. A criminal reuniting of two wayward scientists in love and in lust.

For the Femdom enthusiasts we get Poe Von Page’s, Mutiny on the Danika Blue.

For those of us with decidedly kinkier tastes Kannan Feng gives us a wicked little tale of bisexuality and voyeurism in Deviant Devices.

Jay Lawrence shows us that The Perfect Girl isn’t always so perfect.

The medical fetishists among us will thoroughly enjoy Delilah Devlin’s, Dr. Mullaley’s Cure. If visiting the doctor was that enjoyable none of us would complain about the bills. I also find virgin stories especially delightful and Delilah’s Nurse Percy is an adorable mix of curious and naive mixed together.

The surprising, somewhat trans slant Lisabet Sarai entertains us with in, Her Own Devices, was definitely a highlight of the book.

As always Kathleen Bradean delivers high quality smut and some kick ass female domination in Lair of the Red Countess. I’m not normally a femdom fan but this one got me hot and bothered.

The Infernal Machine by Elias A. St. James captured my attention from the beginning with the sexual innuendo of the opening paragraph.
It is also the only m/m story in the book and i love well written gay erotica. If one sexy man is good then two together is most definitely better!

Doctor Watson Makes a House Call for Essemoh Teepee and this time Sherlock Holmes is neither wanted nor needed. Dr. Watson performs just fine on his own.

The Treatment by DL King is a naughty little story of two gentlemen and their tea time encounter with the domineering Miss Li. Electrical engineering takes on a whole new meaning. Now I know how i want to light up my own house. Screw the electric company.

Lucifer Einstein and the Curious Case of the Carnal Contraption by Tracey Shellito is a title reminiscent of a Nancy Drew mystery only, to my knowledge, Nancy never went in search of suddenly appearing sex toys. The interviews Luci and her partner engage in are both entertaining and arousing and laced with an underlying humor only a great author can pull off. Every morning I check my front porch in hopes of receiving my own mystery package.

The final tale in the book is Elizabeth Schechter’s, The Succubus. A wonderful way to end an action packed anthology full of carnal delight. The combination of Victorian debauchery with a decidedly BDSM slant topped things off nicely. ^_^

For steampunk fans both new and old this is one book you should add to your TBR pile asap.

I unbuttoned my cuffs and rolled up my sleeves. “What’s your safe word?”
“Bigot.”
I smiled, it seemed oddly appropriate based on the days events. “That works for me.” I sat down on the couch and patted my lap. “Come on over here sexy and let’s get this show on the road.
She crawled to me on her hands and knees and I almost fainted. I’d never seen anything so hot in my life.
She paused for just a moment before lying face down across my thighs, presenting me with a view of her backside. The outfit was completely crotchless. “Holy hell! Where in the world did you buy this? If it’s a local store we have to go there again soon.” I ran my hand down the back of the bodysuit, letting my fingers linger to caress her ass. “I’ve dreamed of you like this.”
She looked at me over her shoulder. “You have?”
“Oh yes. Now be a good little girl and be quiet while I have my way with you.”
“Yes Ma’am.”
I smiled at her use of a formal title. “Very nice.” I patted one cheek gently and then the other. “Now we should start off easy. Just a little introduction.” I patted her left cheek a bit firmer. “It doesn’t have to hurt. The point is to get you to a place where everything is amplified. To make what would normally cause pain feel good. A good domme knows what turns her partner on and uses that until she can’t tell where the pain stops and the pleasure begins. It’s a delicate balance.” I smacked her rump for emphasis. “I’m going to enjoy walking that fine line with you.”
I drew back and laid the first slap down with the palm of my hand, still taking it easy. I went on that like for a few minutes, alternating sides and the strength of my blows until Lynette was squirming against me. The feel of my hand on her ass and her breasts rubbing against my legs was sheer heaven. Blushing the prettiest pink against her naturally tan color, her ass started to lift into my thrusts. Her skin grew warmer against my hand with each extra whack, and though I’d gotten a bit rougher than I’d intended, she didn’t seem to be feeling any pain. If anything she was actually enjoying our session.
She slid one leg out a bit, giving me a glimpse between her thighs as she tried to ride my leg. I gave her a serious spanking this time for her disobedience. She just moaned and thrust against me harder. I laid down a series of spankings that had her ass turning a gorgeous cherry color. “You’ll come when I say you can come.”

Now doesn’t thank make you want a spanking too? ^_^ Get your copy of Spank! today in either ebook or print at:

If you haven’t picked up a copy of this amazing tribute to submissives and the dominants that care for them, you need to go ahead and order a copy asap.
The kink is hot and there is absolutely no holding back in these stories. We get an inside look at what it means to be truly submissive and about the type of person it takes to top them.

I’m submissive. I see things totally from the sub POV. Now that’s not to say that I am a push over in my day to day life. Far from it, but sometimes I just need to let go and let someone else take charge for a while. I need the peace that being able to put all my trust in someone can bring.
For the life of me I can’t imagine being the person doing the whipping or securing the rope. I just don’t have it in me.
Now of course the dominants feel the total opposite and can’t imagine not being in control. They are the true Alpha’s.
This book shows us the beauty of the submissive. The beauty of the entire BDSM world.
When I first got interested in BDSM I had no clue where to go or who to talk to. I’d been obsessed with it for ages and read just about every book I could get my hands on, but I wanted to see the action live. I wanted to experience it firsthand. I have to tell you. People in the lifestyle are the most amazing folks I’ve ever met. They are open and friendly and welcoming beyond belief to newbies, something that is so rare in real life. I was truly humbled to be allowed to watch several scenes and they even invited me to ask questions and take part. ^_^ It’s a gorgeous and delicate balance.
The sub gives up their control, puts all their faith and their trust in their dominant that they know what their needs are and will give it to them. Maybe not right away, because anticipation makes it so much sweeter, but they will get there eventually. Hell, the trip is part of the fun. Learning what your partner wants, watching their subtle signals and hearing their pleas for more. Knowing when they’ve had enough and being able to admit it if you make a mistake. It’s knowing that when the journey is complete your dominant will be there to catch you and take care of you and is willing to do it all again when the time comes. It’s the ultimate freedom, the ultimate release. And this book shows that relationship in all it’s glory. Not every fetish is going to agree with each person. Hell kinky people sometimes think other people’s kinks are just icky but as long as it is consensual, anything goes.
Go get your copy of, “Please, Sir” to see what you’re missing out on.

Radclyffe, writing as LL Raand, gives us, The Midnight Hunt. The first in what I hope will be a series. Now it’s a recipe that’s been done time and time again so I admit I opened the book with equal parts excitement and trepidation. You’ve got vamps and weres and other supernatural creatures with lusty sexual appetites fighting for survival of the fittest. What can possibly be done that hasn’t been done before? Apparently a whole lot.

We get a strong female Alpha, lots of drama and turmoil, a true sense of pack as a family, HOT love scenes and an ending that brings things to a close while leaving plenty of room for more. The world building is fabulous. We have background and history and new twists on everything from the fact that a strong woman can lead the pack to the detail that being an openly homosexual supernatual being is okay too. (I guess I’ve been indulging my love of paranormal in too many straight and narrow bookstores. I need to do more online book shopping. )

In fact it felt totally normal for two women to mate and I loved the requirements and steps for mating and breeding that Radclyffe, opps sorry, Raand has invented. We even get a tiny sneak peek at the end at book two in the series. Be sure to have some asbestos gloves on hand or turn the air conditioning on high. I mean it when i say HOT sex scenes. The lust and attraction between the two main characters is practically explosive. My only complaint?

Just that the book didn’t come with a Drake of my own. Umm, I want one really bad! Whaaaaa.

You’ll see what I mean when you read it. Another great story to add to Radclyffe’s impressive backlist. But don’t take my word for it. Get your copy here:

We’re celebrating the 12 days that lead up to Valentine’s day and today is my turn to get sexy. I thought I’d talk about two of my favorite subjects. Food and sex. You probably don’t think of these two things together but I often do. It’s no secret to my close frineds that I like to eat. The worse the food is for me the more I probably like it. I’m a total sugar whore too. Dessert should be served with every meal. But let’s take a moment to consider how much fun and how often eating and sex are put together, maybe you don’t even realize it. Romantic dates often start with a great dinner and hopefully end up with you and your partner doing something highly energetic in a horizontal position to work off all those calories, but why do they have to be done seperate? Why not bring the yummy stuff to bed with you and stir things up a bit?
It’s times like this that you may want to invest in some rubber sheets. LOL
Start with the oldies but goodies. Whipped cream, chocolate, strawberries, champagne. Put it on each other and then eat it off. With all the energy you’ll be expending it makes dessert guilt free. Get creative then get naughty. It’s all about fun, especially as Valentine’s day approaches. Yum!

Don’t forget to join the MSA authors on February 13th from 10 am – 10 pm for a huge all day chat bash. Prizes will be given away every hour on the hour. We’ll post excerpts, answer questions, yummy recipes, jokes. It’s going to be fun for all. Get in on the bash at:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MidnightSeductions/

Hope to see you all there. I’ll be offering up some special prizes for readers who post and take part in the chat.
