  • Molly's Sexual Curse on May 07, 2013

    This is the first story by Sapphire that I have read, and I have to say that I’m not disappointed in her writing ability. Her character development was done so well that she thought of things that I, as a reader, wouldn’t have thought of. She went into describing Molly’s character and the trials that she faced because of her curse, to such detail that you felt like you were there with her. Tristan’s character was also well written. He showed large amounts of compassion and understanding when it came to what Molly had been through. He was also very patient in teaching her of different things. By adding all of those details, you couldn’t help but want to find your own Tristan. The only complaint that I have about this book is the length. Sapphire was able to write this story to where you start out at the beginning of their relationship, all the way to even over a year later. She didn’t skip out on any details that would be deemed important. All in all, I really enjoyed this book, and I can’t wait to read more from Sapphire.
  • Loves Erotic Flower on Oct. 24, 2013

    When I read Love's Forbidden Flower, I thought that it was a pretty decent book, (I gave it a 4 star rating). So when Diane had sent me a message asking if I wanted to read the erotica novella that she had written to go along with the first book, of course I jumped at the option. I kinda had the same problem with this book that I had with Forbidden Flower though. Lily's character seemed self-centered again. She kept pushing Donovan to do something that she was uncomfortable but she wanted to do something so she kept pushing him. Taking that out of the review, this story was amazingly hot and well written. The sex between Lily and Donovan was off the charts!! There were some parts of it where I think I actually blushed at the amount of detail that Diane went into. But all in all it was a good read! I would rate this at 4 stars!!!
  • Swept Away (A Short Story) on Oct. 29, 2013

    This book is a short read, but I do have to say that it is completely sweet and heartwarming. While there isn’t a lot of backstory that we are told, I do think that we are told enough that it helps the story along. I would love to see a full length book featuring these characters to be able to learn more about them. There is quite a bit of smut factor that happens in the book, but I think that it ended up working out in the course of the story. While we do know that Eddie and Mike have a colorful past, it was really great to watch as they reconnected with each other even after being together for so long. Overall, this was a really sweet read and I would recommend it to people who enjoy this genre.
