Two Doms for Vicki (MFM) by Melody Snow Monroe (Published by: Siren-BookStrand, Inc. )
$5.99
Categories: BDSM , Contemporary , Menage a Trois/Quatre

This reviewer's rating: 5 - Outstanding

I have been waiting patiently for Vicki's story. Melody has teased us all from the beginning with Clint and Sanford story as they left Vicki behind to head off into the military. Vivki was left to pick up the broken pieces of her heart until they finally came home to claim what was theirs from the beginning. Now that they are back, Clint and Sanford are going to make things right between them all. I loved this story and couldn't put this down. As always, I love to read Melody's books and can't wait to read the next one in her pleasure series.

Diamonds and Spurs (MFM) by Melody Snow Monroe (Published by: Siren-BookStrand, Inc. )
$5.5
Categories: Contemporary , Menage a Trois/Quatre , Western/Cowboys

This reviewer's rating: 5 - Outstanding

I enjoy reading about the Callen's Family. This is a wonderful story about a rich woman who divorces her ex-husband and escapes her past in search of a new life in Intrigue. This is where she meets the sexy men that will change her life for the better, Cameron Longworth and Vince Callen. I am a huge fan of the Callen series. Melody's Diamonds and Spurs is a refreshing story, with a great plot, and as always, consists of sexy men you definitely drool over. I can't wait for the next book in this series.

Her Colorado Dreams (MFM) by Melody Snow Monroe (Published by: Siren-BookStrand, Inc. )
$5.5
Categories: Contemporary , Menage a Trois/Quatre

This reviewer's rating: 5 - Outstanding

I read the first book in the Colorado Series by Melody Snow Monroe. This series that Melody has written for us, along with four other of your favorite authors, is going to be something you all will enjoy. I just finished reading Her Colorado Dreams and LOVED the book. I am excited to read the second book in this installment written by Alicia White. Once again, Melody has written a book that you will find hard to put down. Good job, Melody!

Categories: Menage a Trois/Quatre , Paranormal , Shape-shifter

This reviewer's rating: 5 - Outstanding

Melody Snow Monroe generally writes contemporary menage and I'm so glad that she made the change over to paranormal. This book takes place in the small town of Spirit, Colorado and I love that there are many different dimensions to this book. Looking forward to more! :)

Chelsea's Pleasure (MFM) by Melody Snow Monroe (Published by: Siren-BookStrand, Inc. )
$5.5
Categories: Contemporary , Menage a Trois/Quatre

This reviewer's rating: 4 - Good

I liked Chelsea a lot as a heroine. I loved watching her push the Caulfield brothers to their limits, and come out on top...or bottom in this case. :) I found her to be a little bratty at times, which was a drawback, but in the end the three of them were able to reach each other. Good read.

After what I thought was a disappointing third book, I almost ditched this series, but I'm so glad I didn't. Dangerous Flirtations is tons tons better. I read it in one sitting and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Secret Temptation (MFM) by Melody Snow Monroe (Published by: Siren-BookStrand, Inc. )
$5.5
Categories: Contemporary , Menage a Trois/Quatre , Western/Cowboys

This reviewer's rating: 3 - Average

The first two books in the Callens series were good, but this one was a bit of a disappointment. Randy didn't do anything for me. His character was at odds, an ex-cage fighter and a talented musician - yes, it probably can happen in real life - but this was a bit of a stretch even for my imagination. Plus given what POV he had and that he didn't participate in the menage relationship until more than three quarters of the way through the book, I wasn't convinced he was in love with April. He needed more story. They could all have benefitted with more story.

I read this book today. I really liked hoe the relationship developed between Heath, Wade, and Samantha. There were a couple interesting twists throughout the story. I thought it was interesting that she thought she needed to act like a man in order to be the boss. It was also great that the men let her be herself. If you love Melody's writing then you will love this book. Another home run for her!

I just read Bella's Bad Bikers and I loved it! The story was great and the men all had very different, real personalities. Bella was a sweet girl and I'm so glad that at the end she rescued herself and made decisions. Great story Melody...keep up the good work. :)

This book is a wonderful start to an exciting series! This story is surprisingly sweet in parts, and I really felt for the heroine and her guys. The love scenes were hot and inventive but the emotional connection was there as well. I can't wait to read the next Fantasy Resort book!

Fun story. I totally enjoyed the variety of the men's characters even though they were brothers. There was something unique about each one. I got so caught up in the story I ended up reading it almost straight through. Can't wait to read the next story in the series. Originally I read VERDICT by this author and now I'm hooked.
