Window and Screen ARC REVIEW ~~~ Paris Secrets 1 & 2 ~~~ Michele Renae




The first time she sees her new neighbor, his sexy smile arouses her curiosity -- and her desires. His hard, chiseled muscles and playful invitations are irresistible. Bared before their windows, 
framed and displayed above the streets of Paris, 
they embark upon a provocative affair. 

Their daring game of exhibitionism lures her back for more and more, and she quickly realizes he is the man she has dreamed about.

She's never heard his voice. Never felt his touch.

Never thought she'd experience something this exquisite.
Or this bold...

BOOK 2

They began a daring affair a few weeks ago, baring skin, sensual secrets—their very souls—before their bedroom windows, situated across the street from one another. 
Now they've taken it to the next level.
The laptop screen has added sound to their intimate liaisons, and his voice, that delicious French accent, is oh, so sexy. His laughter teases good shivers across her skin, and his sensual commands seduce her deeper  into a world of erotic play.

Fantasies lure them into a new intimacy and a surprising trust
that the two strangers who have never touched welcome. 
Sometimes it can feel like the erotic is missing 
from erotica – do you know what I mean?
I absolutely love hot, dirty, taboo reads, but…
a truly hot, dirty, taboo erotic read can be so much more!

Perfectly set in Paris, and giving us a beautiful, observant feel for the city, this delicious modern series tells the fascinating story of two people falling in love 
– that are yet to meet. It’s as beautiful, as it is erotic.


With book 1 being voyeurism and book 2 being cyber sex
this story is definitely hot… and very different!
It has a silky smooth feel, 
it's passionate, elegant... exquisite.

So why not a 5? (so far!)
Well for me, I’d have loved to read
 ‘his’ POV as all this was happening. 
Even if it turns out that he’s just a man getting his rocks off at their exhibitionism – which I don’t think he will be?  I'd have loved that.

  And although most readers will love them, personally I found some of her explicit daydreams to be a bit...  umm... distracting (can’t believe I’m saying that!) 
I felt that they were there to titillate me
(in case we got bored?… I don't know?!)
I personally would have been happy with just the realism 
of their voyeuristic, cyber fucking situation!


                        Book 1                       
Book 2


Overall a sensual, decadent read 
 I’ll be jumping straight into book 3 
(I think it's going to be explosively hot!!)
when it comes out and they finally meet…Sqeeeeee!

Sizzling ARC REVIEW: IRREVOCABLE ~ Skye Callahan



I was getting attached to a man I barely knew, 
in an impossible situation. 
I knew it. But, I couldn't pull away.

The only way out was to bring
them all down or die trying.



I really, REALLY enjoyed this gripping book.
It’s a dark, erotic suspense that I loved 
and yet found incredibly disturbing. 
It does include forced sex
and came with this warning...
This isn't your rainbows and love sonnets kind of romance.
This story explores topics of abduction and slavery, and contains 
explicit scenes of dubious consent, graphic violence and sex.



We read some books, 
but completely feel others. 
This one consumed me. 



I absolutely loved how Silver kept her head 
whilst under immense pressure.

“Want me to remove the plug now or after dinner,” 
he asked. 
I stared back wondering what the hell I was supposed 
to say. Please, Master, I love it so much, let me keep it? 
I couldn't believe people got off on this shit, 
although the ones who did were probably 
in very different situations...

All too often the captive is so immediately 
turned on and wet that it becomes unrealistic - 
this felt real from start to finish. 
I had tears in my eyes throughout some of the darker scenes, it was only Silver's determination to survive that got me through whilst holding my breath!

I will say that OMG the vaginal fisting 
was possibly a bit too real!!

LOL... probably best not to include THAT gif!! ; )


We don't get enough standalone reads of this quality.
It felt full and rounded - complete. 
The story is breathtakingly paced to please. 
The detail packed into it took me right there with them,
I lost sleep - that's always a great sign!


It has that stunning and captivating Dark Duet feel but 
it's definitely darker and perfect as a standalone read.

There's a fantastic twist in the story (that I won't spoil)
but I will say that I loved Kirk more for it! 
And what a HEA!







I've not read a Skye Callahan book before. 
Her style of writing is incredibly detailed - 
the way I love a book to be written.
Thank you Skye for generously gifting us the ARC.
