Welcome to my Review/Excerpt stop on the Tasty
Virtual Book Tour for BLUE BLOODED, book 3 in the Benediction series by Shelly
Bell. This is my first experience with a Benediction book and I was not
disappointed, in fact, I am now hooked. I need to catch up. Stay tuned for an
excerpt after my thoughts, and a giveaway.
This one releases tomorrow! A must read!
***eARC provided by publisher via Edelweiss in
exchange for an honest and unscripted review.
Blurb for BLUE BLOODED:
In the next sexy and suspenseful Benediction
novel, an investigative reporter and an ex-soldier witness a murder outside of
an exclusive sex club and while on the run, uncover a deadly conspiracy that
begins with mobsters and corrupt FBI agents... and ends on Capitol Hill.
A woman
who refuses to be tied down...
Investigative
reporter Rachel Dawson is always looking for her next big story. While working
on a feature about BDSM, she lands a one-night, no-holds-barred pass into the
exclusive sex club, Benediction. Rachel doesn't have a deviant bone in her
body—or so she thought—until the infuriating, ex-soldier Logan Bradford
convinces her to try rope bondage under his capable hands. But a steamy night
turns deadly when Rachel and Logan witness a gruesome murder.
A Dom
who's determined to bind her to him...
Framed for
a crime they didn't commit and hunted by corrupt FBI agents, they flee. As
Rachel and Logan search for evidence to clear their names, the attraction
they've been fighting ignites into fiery passion. Love is the last thing Rachel
wants, but night by night, as Logan binds her body, he unravels the knots
around her heart. And when they uncover a shocking political conspiracy, Rachel
will stop at nothing to reveal the truth…and it just might kill her.
My Review:
Wow, Wow, and WOW! I was hooked from page one
and had I the time, I have no doubt I would have read this in one sitting. BLUE
BLOODED by Shelly Bell is fast-paced, action-packed, sensual, sexy, and
downright excitement filled with every turn, twist, and white-knuckle page
turn. Shelly has packed in everything that could make a story grand, exciting,
sexually adventurous, romance driven, and character exceptional. I don’t know if
the first two books are this good but I surely plan to find out.
Rachel and Logan burn up the pages with the
sexual tension that exists between them from the start but as you start to see
the control shift and wobble between them, you feel the attraction grow and
become more. Logan is all about control but when he thinks he can no longer
maintain it, he surprises you. Rachel is also all about control but when she
gives it over to Logan, she realizes that there is more to control than who is
pushing the buttons. It’s about give and take, and control becomes more about allowing
someone to do what he, or she, needs to do rather than doing it for them.
BLUE BLOODED, book 3 in the Benediction series
by Shelly Bell is most definitely erotic romance. It takes you into the world
of BDSM, its light, its darkness, its smells, sounds, pain, and pleasure. However,
it doesn’t saturate the pages with it, but rather turns the sexual adventures
into yet another in-depth and living character in the story. Whereas it might
not be for everyone, I highly recommend it…you can always skip the erotic sex
scenes…for the story, the emotional relationships, the surrendering of one
strong dominating personality to another and vice versa. BLUE BLOODED is a
thrill ride, not only for the erotic sexual scenes but also for the imaginative
and terrifying plot line which could so easily happen in today’s world…truth
always is more strange, and more often, terrifying than fiction. I am
absolutely so eager to experience more of the world of Benediction.
Happy Reading Everyone!
Excerpt:
Puffing on his Cuban cigar, the Senator
reclined in his chair, a tumbler of scotch on the rocks in front of him. He
stared down the two men sitting on the other side of his desk, daring them to
repeat the words that had just been uttered.
Sweating profusely, FBI Agent Seymour
Fink tugged on his tie, his Adam’s apple bobbing above the buttoned collar of his
shirt.
For a moment, the Senator considered
retrieving his gun from his desk drawer and shooting the agent in the head, but
he couldn’t risk getting blood or splatters of brain matter on his tuxedo.
After all, he had an important dinner to attend in an hour and didn’t want to
disappoint his wife.
He downed the rest of his drink and then
shook the ice in the glass the way he’d like to shake the mobster who was
fucking with him. “Tell me what you’re going to do to fix the problem,” he said
calmly, unwilling to allow this minor bump in the road to waylay his plans.
There were only a few problems in the
world money couldn’t solve, and this was not one of them. His men were loyal to
him because he paid them to be loyal. They believed in his cause because he
paid them to believe in his cause. The whole goddamned US of A was manipulated
by money, making it possible for great men like him to become even wealthier.
But he was different because unlike most
men, he cared more for this country than he did money.
“Do, sir?” Using the sleeve of his suit
jacket, Agent Fink wiped the sweat from his brow, cigar smoke circling around
his head like a boa constrictor. “I’m not certain we should do—”
“You listen to me, you little prick.
There is nothing that will stand in my way.” The Senator hurled his tumbler
against the wall above the fireplace, shattering the glass into a million tiny
pieces. “Do you understand me? I’ve got your balls in a vise underneath my
blade, so let’s try this again. What are you going to do to fix the problem?”
These agents had been instrumental in
helping him to get the charges against Anthony Rinaldi dropped in exchange for
the mobster’s valuable foreign contacts. A few months ago, the FBI had arrested
Rinaldi for the extortion and kidnapping of Danielle Walker and, in the
process, had discovered the bodies of thirteen young women buried on his
property. But thanks to Agent Richard Evans and Fink, vital evidence had
disappeared from the FBI’s possession, helping the judge in the case, a man all
too easy to blackmail due to his expensive cocaine habit, to render his
decision in dropping the charges. In exchange, Rinaldi had brokered a deal with
a Congo mafia leader, and an item found exclusively in the Congo region was
about to arrive in the United States. Now that the ship had sailed and all the
components were successfully in place, Rinaldi’s usefulness had come to an end.
Seymour swallowed convulsively. “No one
was supposed to get hurt.”
“Don’t pull that bullshit now. You knew
when I approached you that lives would be lost for the greater good,” the
Senator said. He handed off his cigar and nodded to the other agent, a bruiser
of a man whom he’d chosen not only for his twenty years of service to this
country but for his lack of empathy. Agent Richard Evans understood the risks
involved in his job, the three bullets he’d taken in the chest a testament to
that fact.
Evans pinched the fat cigar between his
fingers and, in a flash, locked his partner’s head under his arm, pinning
Fink’s hands to the table and singeing the top of one with the foot of the
cigar. Fink screamed, his smaller body thrashing wildly as he fruitlessly tried
to escape from his partner and the pain he was inflicting.
The acrid scent of burnt flesh
overpowered the cigar’s sweet one, a smell he would forever more attribute to
power.
By the time Evans released him, Fink’s
skin had turned pasty white, his shirt completely drenched from his sweat. He
breathed heavily, nodding. “Consider the problem solved, sir. By this time
tomorrow night, Rinaldi will be dead.”
The Senator leaned back in his chair and
smiled.
God bless the USA.

DEVIL IN DUKE’S CLOTHING:
Maggie
York, a convent-raised foundling, knows the Duke of Dunwoody’s sexual tastes
are a shade or two darker than normal, but marries him anyway—partly because
she has no other prospects and partly because, try as she might, she can’t seem
to exorcize her desire for the dashing ducal devil. Two years ago, she watched
him swive and spank her lady's maid, luring her from the garden of innocence
into the orchard of fleshly delights--and she's been hungry for more ever
since.
Robert
Armstrong, the duke, is a Roman Catholic whose extreme devotions as a child warped
his desires as a man. He’s also a slave to the times in which he lives--and to
his king. Everything he is, everything he holds dear, depends on staying in
Charles II’s good graces. Unfortunately, Maggie isn't the bride the king
selected for him. Now, to make amends, the duke must choose between the lesser
of two evils: whore his wife or be reduced to a penniless commoner.
Whose
interests will Robert choose to serve, his own, the king’s, or the woman he
loves?
* * * * *
DEVIL IN DUKE’S CLOTHING by Nina Mason is
one of the most factually and linguistically accurate historical romances I’ve ever
read. It also is one of the steamiest. The relationship between Robert and
Maggie is an unusual one and frankly, I would like to have known more about
their early years together since Maggie had lived with Robert, his brother,
Hugh, and under the fear of the elder duke until his death since she was ten
years old but that aside, this was a very satisfying romance. Her fascination with Robert was long lived and even though she fears
his strange sexual proclivities, she still wants to marry him and be a good
wife. Robert seems to have his own fascination
with Maggie stemming from her youth. I believe he sees her as the only truly
pure and innocent person in his life and I suppose it is one reason he treats her
so gently and cautiously even as she begs to experience his sexual likes. Nina has done an amazing job of
presenting this story as if it was happening in the moment, my only wish is that it had been longer.
There’s a lot of untold story here and I would love to know it. Steamy hot,
exquisitely set, this amazing historical romance delights even as it holds us on the edge with anxious worry for their
safety in a world where being Catholic could shorten your life, especially when
you do the complete opposite of what the king wants. DEVIL IN DUKE’S CLOTHING by Nina Mason is
an intriguing tale of political unrest, sexual exploration, and a pure love,
which grows stronger with every passing day even in the face of danger. I
highly recommend this amazing erotic historical romance because Nina has
written an exquisitely beautiful yet intriguing story encircled by a world of
unrest far more real than we want to acknowledge. I can’t wait to see what she
gives us in the next book in the series. For a taste of DEVIL IN DUKE'S CLOTHING, click HERE for an excerpt.

It’s got a gorgeous new look, but definitely still worth reading.
Coral Sinclair is a beautiful but naïve twenty-five-year-old
photographer who has just lost her father. She's leaving the life she's known
and traveling to Kenya to take ownership of her inheritance – the plantation
that was her childhood home – Mpingo. On the voyage from England, Coral meets
an enigmatic stranger to whom she has a mystifying attraction. She sees him
again days later on the beach near Mpingo, but Coral's childhood nanny tells
her the man is not to be trusted. It is rumored that Rafe de Monfort, owner of
a neighboring plantation and a nightclub, is a notorious womanizer having an
affair with her stepmother, which may have contributed to her father's death.
Though the afternoon
sunshine was beginning to fade, the air was still hot and heavy. Coral was
struck by the awesome silence that surrounded them. Not a bird in sight, no
shuffle in the undergrowth, even the insects were elusive. They climbed a
little way up the escarpment over the plateau and found a spot that dominated
the view of the whole glade. Rafe spread out the blanket under an acacia tree.
They ate some chicken sandwiches and eggs and polished off the bottle of
cordial. They chatted casually, like old friends, about unimportant mundane
things, as though they were both trying to ward off the real issue, to stifle
the burning embers that were smoldering dangerously in both their minds and
their bodies.
All the while, Coral had
been aware of the need blossoming inside her, clouding all reason with desire.
She could tell that he was fighting his own battle. Why was he holding back?
Was he waiting for her to make the first move? Rafe was lying on his side,
propped up on his elbow, his head leaning on his hand, watching her through his
long black lashes. The rhythm of his breathing was slightly faster, and she
could detect a little pulse beating in the middle of his temple, both a
suggestion of the turmoil inside him. Rafe put out a hand to touch her but
seemed to change his mind and drew it away. Coral stared back at him, her eyes
dark with yearning, searching his face.
The shutters came down.
“Don’t, Coral,” Rafe whispered, “don’t tease. There’s a limit to the amount of
resistance a man has.”
“But Rafe…”
A flash of long blue
lightning split the sky, closely followed by a crash of thunder. Coral
instinctively threw herself into Rafe’s arms, hiding her face against his broad
chest. She had always had a strong phobia of thunderstorms. Now she knew why
the place had seemed eerie, why there had been no bird song or insect
tick-tocks, no scuffling and ruffling in the undergrowth. Even though the skies
when they entered the valley had not foretold the electrical storm that was to
come, just like with the animals, her instinct had told her that something was
wrong. But she had been too distracted by the turbulence crackling between her
and Rafe to pay attention to the changing sky.
Rafe, too, was shaken
out of his daze and turned his head to see that the sun had dropped behind the
mountain. Dense clouds had swept into the valley and were hanging overhead like
a black mantle.
“Where did that come
from? No storm was forecast for today?” he muttered, jumping up.
There was another
tremendous peal of thunder, lightning lit up the whole glade, and again another
crash. Then the heavy drops of rain came hammering down against the treetops,
pouring down through the foliage.
A wind was starting up.
Without hesitation, Rafe folded the blanket into a small bundle and tucked it
under his arm. He slung the hamper over his shoulder, and lifting Coral into
his arms, he climbed his way up to the next level of the escarpment where a
ledge of rock was jutting out and found the entrance to a cave where they could
shelter. Coral was shivering. She tucked her face into his shoulder, her
fingers tightly gripping his shirt. She was completely inert, paralyzed by
fear. They were both drenched.
There was no way they
would be able to get back to Narok tonight. Coral knew from her childhood that
storms were always long in this part of the country, and through her panic she
prayed that he wouldn’t be piloting that little plane back in this howling
gale. At least here they were protected from the storm. It was not yet
completely dark. Rafe looked around, still holding her tightly against him.
Coral couldn’t herself as she sobbed uncontrollably.
“Shush, it’s all right,”
he whispered softly in her ear. “It’s only a storm. By tomorrow morning it’ll
all be over.” He brushed her tears away as more fell.
“I’m going to have to
set you down for a moment, Coral. I need to light us a fire and get you out of
those wet clothes.”

About the Author:
Hannah Fielding is a
novelist, a dreamer, a traveller, a mother, a wife and an incurable romantic.
The seeds for her writing career were sown in early childhood, spent in Egypt,
when she came to an agreement with her governess Zula: for each fairy story
Zula told, Hannah would invent and relate one of her own. Years later –
following a degree in French literature, several years of travelling in Europe,
falling in love with an Englishman, the arrival of two beautiful children and a
career in property development – Hannah decided after so many years of yearning
to write that the time was now. Today, she lives the dream: she writes full
time, splitting her time between her homes in Kent, England, and the South of
France, where she dreams up romances overlooking breathtaking views of the
Mediterranean.
Her first novel, BURNING EMBERS, is a vivid, evocative love story set against the backdrop of
tempestuous and wild Kenya of the 1970s, reviewed by one newspaper as ‘romance
like Hollywood used to make’. Her new novel, The Echoes of Love, is a story of
passion, betrayal and intrigue set in the romantic and mysterious city of
Venice and the beautiful landscape of Tuscany.
The Hot Cowboy Nights
series by Victoria Vane is turning out to be an exceptionally good contemporary
romance set from an author who has given us richly researched and in depth
looks into Georgian period piece romances. Am I surprised? Yes. And no. ROUGH
RIDER, book two in the Hot Cowboy Nights by Victoria Vane is worth the ride if
you love cowboys, rodeos, and steamy second chance romance.

Blurb for ROUGH RIDER:
Two loves ...
Janice Combes has two loves, bucking bulls and Dirk Knowlton. But Dirk only has
eyes for a dazzling rodeo queen. How can Janice ever compete while mired
ankle-deep in manure? Exchanging playful banter with Dirk is all Janice can
expect-until the stormy night he knocks on her door dripping wet and needing a
place to crash.
Different Dreams...
Dirk Knowlton is living the cowboy dream. Life should be good-roping, branding,
backing broncs, riding bulls, but there's a void he can't seem to fill. After
getting hung up by a bull, he wonders if this is really the life he wants.
Restless and rebellious, he bolts...but there's a certain cowgirl he can't
forget.
When a battle-scarred Dirk returns to his Montana ranch he's determined to hang
on at any cost. Janice has come back home to lick her own wounds. When old
dreams turn to dust, can two wary hearts take another chance on love?
* * * * *
Janice Combes grew up
around tough talking, rough acting cowboys so she was used to how they acted
around each other, and her. She was one of the crew when it came to rodeo life
and the men, who rode the bulls she took care of and carted from rodeo to rodeo.
She may understand them, but it didn’t keep her from wanting one particular
cowboy to look at her the way he looked at the Rodeo Queen.
Dirk Knowlton loved the
rodeo, the freedom of the road, and when his long-time girlfriend started
making noises about getting married and settling down, he did what any
self-respecting cowboy would do, he bucked and ran. Ending up on the doorstep
of the woman he’d watched grow up, one he’d watched his buddy, Grady, take notice
of and discovered he didn’t like it, surprised him. What happened next surprised
him even more and haunted him for the next ten years?
Phew! Some cowboys are
definitely hotter than others. ROUGH RIDER by Victoria Vane treats us to one
hot cowboy and the only woman meant to tame him. We first meet Dirk Knowlton in
SLOW HAND, book one of the Hot Cowboy Nights series. Whereas Wade was dreamy to
die for, Dirk came across as a complete and total ass. All the more reason why
I wanted to read his story. Yeah, he was still a bit of an ass in this one,
but once you learned why, everything made sense.
ROUGH RIDER started out
a bit slow for me. I appreciate Victoria’s research into rodeos and bull riding, but maybe I didn’t need quite so much time in the bullpens with talk about
manure. *laughing* Once things heated up between Janice and Dirk, this story
took off like a lightning flash. Grady was just creepy enough to keep us hoping
Dirk would rescue Janice from his clutches, but goofy enough to keep us
thinking Janice could handle him on her own. What happens isn’t all that
surprising but what is learned later, is most definitely surprising. Nope, not
going to tell you anything more, you’ll just have to wait until February 3rd
to read it for yourself. I will treat you to the trailer for the book though,
just to whet your interest even more.
I highly recommend
reading ROUGH RIDER, book two in the Hot Cowboy Nights series by Victoria Vane
mainly because if you read SLOW HAND, which I definitely recommend, you will want
to read this one too. If for no other reason, but to find out what bug is up Dirk’s
well shaped butt and why Janice would even begin to be interested in the curmudgeon.
This one is hot, hot, hot, and in the end, very sweet. Victoria gives us a wonderful
happily-ever-after.
Happy Reading Everyone!
