Catarena Vaughn is lurking on a cyber sex site with the username BlackCat trying to get information on BDSM for a book she wants to write. She knows absolutely nothing about it and its getting disgusted with all the sick offers she getting while on the site. After popping into a more private chat room she encounters Maverick who challenges her on why she is there. They go back and forth in there messaging until Mason who has grown tired of the simpering Barbie doll types becomes intrigued with the "kitten" and proposes they set up a instant messaging program and he will give her 10 mins a day to ask him any questions she wants for the research for her book and then the rest of the time he will be in charge and has to do what he says.

Catarena works at a Forture 500 company in the mailroom with her bestfriend and roommate Bailey.

BlackCat and Maverick's session online get more intense. He has mailed her many "toys" and instructs her on how he wants her to use them as they are chatting online. This both shocks and intrigues Cat as she cant believe she is masturbating for a stranger online.

Mason decides its time to take things a step further and wants to video chat with his "kitten". His best friend Sebastian tags along and finds the whole thing humorous by saying "your worth millions and yet for some off-the-wall reason you feel the need to get into ciber porn." But we find out that Sebastian as a few kinks of his own. Seems these two had quite the college sex life with the girls.

After the webcams are setup and Maverick makes BlackCat masturbate in front of him Cat recognizes Maverick and quickly unplugs the webcam.

From here is gets really interesting.... I have read this book multiple times and its still fresh like I just read it for the first time.

The second book with Bailey and Sebastian is just as hot...… (mere)

Brown Sugar by Lena Matthews is a fast read featuring an interracial couple. The story takes place in the late 1970s and while it is perfectly legal to date, society still frowns upon the idea of interaction relationships. Embry and Shayna have been friends most of their lives although they are from different races and socioeconomic backgrounds. The story opens with a heated scene as Shayna and Embry unleash their passion for the first time. Their feelings clearly extend beyond the physical but Shayna is afraid of the backlash surrounding interracial dating. The highlights of the novel are the wonderful character development and the dialogue scenes, which are phenomenal. I was enrapt by Embry and Shayna’s conversations as the naturalness felt very poignant and real.

Brown Sugar is fairly short, but there is so much to love about this story. This novel can be completed in one quick read and with good dialogue, believable characters and a touching ending, readers will be happy.

Embry is an attorney but despite his sometimes stuffy profession, he is a laidback and likeable guy. He has loved Shayna all their lives and while she sees him as a brother, he wants much more. After an evening of becoming inebriated together, Shayna and Embry give in to the latent passion between them and there is no turning back. Shayna wants to continue as if nothing happened, but after the magic he experiences with Shayna Embry will settle for nothing less than all of her; body and soul.… (mere)
