requested review from Netgalley

I’ve been looking for a good dangle (that’s demon/angel) books since I finished Covet, yes, I am a J.R. Ward apologist and I’m not sorry. I’m a firm believer in sticking by the BDB author and like the illustrious Brittany Spears, I believe she will come back to us. She will bring back shivalinga to our poor starving Indian village. (Someone was watching the Indian Jones series again on DVD. Five naked hottie photos to those who guess which one).

When I saw the Demon’s Fall blurb on Netgalley, I practically gave my index finger whiplash to request a review.

The story starts off with Kenan, a succubus demon, at the Hellsgate market place where he happens upon a rare find… an angel. After trading souls collected in coins he takes Jahel home with him hoping to seduce her into giving him her soul. To gain her trust he agrees to help her find the soul she lost to a hellhound. What started out as seduction soon leads to passion and emotions Kenan has never felt for any being.

“Why did he hit you?” she asked, absently tracing the outline of his fingers.

Kenan cleared his throat. “I wanted to touch your hair.” His voice was deeper than usual.

“And then you bought me and took me out of that cage.”

“Are you sorry I did?”

“No.” But her smile was a little cooked. “I’m grateful. If what you wanted was to touch my hair…” “Do you still want to?”

He had to force himself not to grab her. Instead he reached out with his free hand and sank it into the cloudsilk of her hair.

He tilted her chin up and kissed her.

More often than not paranormal/urban fantasy books will have extensive world building right front and center which can cause me to have sci-fi overload. Or as we like to call it Scifitus*. I liked how it was more spread out in this one and focused instead on the two main characters. Although it didn’t bring anything new to the demon/angel genre, I was ok with that.  Sometimes I’m not looking for ‘newness’ instead I just want to read a good sex romance story.

If you like more of the erotic paranormal reads from this publisher, Demon’s Fall is a enjoyable read that kept me engrossed all the way throughout the story.

My first foray into erotica was purely by accident and after doing a little research I found a publishing company that offered books of this genre.   Erotica offers online and printed erotica books in just about every fantasy from the absurd to the uncomfortable. * Caution if you have a conservative background do avoid novels rated “x-treme”, let’s just say some of them may leave a lasting impact that might have to be “worked through” with your therapist.

What I find interesting about Erotica is it appeals to our silliest to most erotic fantasies. In the colloquial sense, it’s what I like to call Ladies porn – and I mean that in the fondest way possible. And why shouldn’t we be interested in sex?! We cloak ourselves in reading “romance”, a far more socially acceptable genre, but really, who doesn’t look for novels that have some grit, a bit more oomph! (please tell me I’m not the only one raising my hand) Let’s be honest, women can be just as sexual as men and if men can have slobbering fantasies over size 34 tripple D’s, why can’t I read about Viking warriors kidnapping women for bride auctioning, or humanoid alien species that need women to help repopulate the planet (Earth girls be warned).

Sex is enjoyable and we shouldn’t be afraid to live out our hedonistic fantasies through reading. Plus, what safer avenue can there be than through the anonymity of your imagination. It’s much cheaper and easier than trying to place crumpled one’s in the g-string of some plastic surgeon’s ‘frankanstienien’ creation, or worse, being featured on HBO’ Cathouse for your ‘I dream a genie’ fantasies played out with Air Force Amy. (yikes)!

What to Watch Out For

Reading erotica is a bit like going to Forever 21, all the covers look exciting, but you’ll have to “try on” a few authors in order to see what you like. Also, it is important to note that most of the publications on Ellora’s Cave are novellas or short stories, this means having to adjust your suspension of disbelief that characters can fall in love, have sex and wrap everything up all nice and tight in less than 150 pages.

Erotica is truly a personal preference. I typically like the shape shifter, time travel, comedy and futuristic/sci fi genres. Do be warned that Erotica is extremely graphic and you can be a bit taken aback by the detail involved with the sex scenes.

Some Authors You might Want to Try

  • Jaid Black – funny and futuristic
  • Lora Leigh- Breed series, also likes threesome’s so watch out
  • Sherri L. King- “Rayvn’s Awakening” ,”The Jewl”
  • S.L. Carpenter- Witty and Sexy
  • Ruby Duval – “Oblivion
  • Lorie O’Clare – “Deadworld”
