***REVIEW*** Seven Sons (Gypsy Brothers 1) by Lili Saint Germain

Seven Sons (Gypsy Brothers 1) by Lili Saint Germain

My father was most certainly NOT an innocent man. As the leader of the Gypsy Brothers MC, he was guilty of many things. But he died for a crime that he didn’t commit, framed by an enemy within who then stole his club and everything he had ever worked to protect.

Including my innocence.

When Dornan Ross framed my father, he set into motion a series of events that could never be undone. My father was murdered by Dornan Ross and his sons when I was fifteen years old.

Before my father died, Dornan Ross and his seven sons stole my innocence, branded my skin and in doing so, ensured that their lives would be prematurely cut short. That they would suffer.

I’ve just turned twenty-one, and I’m out for blood. I'm out for revenge.

But I didn't expect to fall for Jase, the youngest brother in the club.

I didn't expect that he would turn my world upside down, yank my heart out of my chest and ride away into the sunset with it.

Now, I'm faced with an impossible choice - Jase, or avenging my fathers death?

I grabbed this book free on Kindle (I'm not sure if its still free or not), and decided to read it yesterday. Its not a very long book so perfect for yesterday when I didn't have a massive amount of time to read :) I finished it all in one day, cramming the last chapter in before bed.
Holy-freakin-moly! This book was awesome.I loved it so much I am desperate to dive straight into book 2! I've heard a few people refer to it as an epic episode of Sons of Anarchy, and I can do nothing but agree!! This series of books are gonna be fantastic!

I've  read a few of these new dark eroticas lately, and this one has jumped quite high on my list of favourites. The darkness in the story is immense. The storyline behind Sammi's pain is sometimes hard to read, but necessary for where the story is going.

Sammi is a loveable character, too loveble in fact. I felt myself really feeling for her, the stuff she has went through is unreal, therefore you definatey feel prefectly fine for cheering her on in her 'mission'!

Dornan is a sleazy piece of shit! As are his son. Well, all except Jase. Jase seems rather sweet inside, and you can see how much he cares for Sammi. I'm ready to jump onto book 2 now so look out for my review of that one pretty soon!!

***REVIEW*** Call The Doctor

Call The Doctor: The True Stories of a Dr. from 1910 - 1965 by Ronald White-Cooper, Edited by Deborah White-Cooper

Call the Doctor is the unique memoir of Ronald White-Cooper, who practised from 1910-1965, through two world wars and across two continents, during a time of dramatic change in medicine.

Ronald White-Cooper’s story begins with his school days then tells of his student life as a medic at Barts in London, a century ago, where he witnessed the first bombs drop at the onset of WWI. At the age of 24 he and four of his friends at Barts enthusiastically enlist. He recounts his experiences tending the wounded on the Western Front and then his fortunate return — of the five students he was the only survivor.

From 1920 Ronald White-Cooper ran his own General Practice in Devon and his memoirs colourfully depict the astonishing challenges and colourful characters the country GP encountered during the interwar years, World War II and beyond. He recalls myriad ailments and how he treated them, the often eccentric personalities that either made his day or confounded him, and the everyday dramas of ordinary people in a rural town. Also included in the book are recent testimonies from his patients, which show how highly regarded he was within the community he served.

He comments on the extraordinary technical and medical advances during his lifetime - the difference penicillin made to a doctor’s capacity to save lives, being able to do his rounds in a motorcar instead of on horseback, and the introduction of the NHS in 1949 – the latter change being one he presciently viewed with mixed feelings. Ronald White-Cooper then recounts the emotional farewells with his Devonshire community and the further adventures of his final working years, spent where his emigrant parents were based, in South Africa.

Ronald White-Cooper had a voracious appetite for the colourful characters of life and the twists and turns of fate, which he observes with compassion and humour. He delivers stories of hope, fear, courage and resilience in a life affirming bedside manner and not without a dose of quirky medical facts. Call the Doctor brilliantly evokes a bygone age.

 REVIEW

I was given a copy of this book by the publisher in return for an honest review.

Well, after reading the information sent by the publisher, there was no way I could pass this one up! It reminded me of Call The Midwife (which I absolutely loved), therefore was really looking forward to it. I picked it up one Monday (the day I decided to try to give up smoking!), and the next morning, almost 300 pages later, I was finished.

I actually really enjoyed reading this. The stories from Dr White-Cooper were fantastic. Some very funny ones there too! Again though, it just made me realise (the same with Call The Midwife), how different medical practise was back then.

The book starts with Dr White-Cooper going through his medical degrees and qualifying as a doctor. He talks of his time working in the fields during the war, saving lives, and patching soldiers up. He tells of the fear and grief during times of both World Wars, and the devastation they left.

But the stories about his patients were the best part. A few that stick in my mind are:

The man (Dr Whites friend) who lost his mind and went a bit crazy
The lady who believed prayer and her faith cleared her cancer
The 50 year old woman who thought she was going through the menopause but was actually pregnant!
The man with breasts!

Honestly, the book was so compelling I could barely take my eyes off it. Those were the days of using a cloth and chloroform when an operation was needed! I liked the fact though that thee book also talks about his family, and how his family grows. We see him marry and have his own children, and we feel his grief when bad times come along.

All in all I loved this book, and I will recommend it to everyone! Such great memories from Dr White-Cooper, and wonderfully edited into a book by his granddaughter Deborah White-Cooper.

Ronald White-Cooper’s memoirs were found in an old trunk in an attic and have been edited by his grand-daughter Deborah White-Cooper, a trained journalist, with a background in television news.

***REVIEW*** Vodka Warrior by Mickey J Corrigan

Vodka Warrior by Mickey J Corrigan

Her life's as dull as light beer until the body god moves in next door; then she goes for the hard stuff.
 
Theresa Tierney is a lonely divorcee who lives in a ranch house in Golden Date Palms, a tacky development in Dusky Beach, Florida. An educated hick who likes her drink, she's lost her teaching job due to some questionable personal choices.

Next door to Theresa, eighty year old Oscar lives in a rental house. When Oscar's new roommate arrives, a good-looking body god, Theresa is both curious and disgusted. A brash New Yorker, Vario says what he's thinking and looks sexy as hell doing it. The brawny mountain of pumped muscle is mega alpha male.
 
Vario invites his friends from a local strip club to party in his backyard hot tub. This makes Theresa angry. In fact, Vario continuously makes Theresa feel and do things she wasn't expecting.

A rollercoaster ride of screw-ups, lust and love makes this sexy little story a fun read.


I received a copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.

After reading Mickey's first in 'The Hard Stuff' series and enjoying it, I couldn't turn down the second book, and I'm glad I didnt. A great novella, not a very long read.
 
When the very sexy 'bod God' as Theresa calls him, moves in as a roommate next door, he and Theresa don't exactly hit it off. In fact, she thinks he hates her! He's a pretty hot gym instructor, who seems to love playboy bunnies and hot rub parties. 

I quite liked Theresa, she just seemed like she'd hit a hard patch that she couldn't get out of. At first Vario seemed a bit if a pain in the arse to be honest lol! But I kinda liked his sass, and yeah I did like his character by the end.

I didn't feel any chemistry between the two though, although you could tell hiw he made Theresa feel when he was around her! 

A rather good little novella, and I really liked the ending.

***REVIEW*** Auctioned to Protect by Doris O'Connor


Title: Auctioned to Protect
Genre: Erotica, Contemporary, BDSM




Dom/sub relationships by Doris O'Connor

There are a lot of misconceptions out there about BDSM relationships, and what a true Dom/sub relationship is or what it means to be in the lifestyle. I always smile when I hear clearly defined rules on how a Dom or sub should act.
The truth of the matter is, every Dom/sub relationship is unique and defined by their individual circumstances. As long as the parties involved are consenting adults, and everything is safe, sane, and consensual, then what they do, how they define themselves, is really no one else's business.
At the end of the day, these are people. Human beings with baggage and needs, and emotions that can make them act out character.
Take my relationship with my husband for instance. He's my best friend, my life partner of the last twenty-six years, the father of my children, and for the last two years also my Sir.
We came to the lifestyle late, though looking back on our relationship, he's always been the Dominant party, in the bedroom at least. Whilst I have no problems making decisions in every other aspect of our lives, I couldn't dominate myself out of a wet paper bag in a sexual setting, and the truth of the matter is, I really don't want to either.
There is something incredibly freeing about giving over control to someone you love and trust, someone completely focused on your needs, someone who will push you out of your comfort zone, and make you fly.
When Sir is, well, Sir, he does that for me. Does that mean he doesn't have moments of self-doubt? Or times when he needs me to simply hold him? Of course not. This is real life and we are a partnership. I may be his collared sub, but that doesn't mean I leave my brain cells at the door, or am not capable of running my own life.
I was once told by someone that I'm too bratty to be a sub.
*sniggers*
Well, I may have been too bratty to be his sub, but then, quite frankly that particular Dom was a pompous arse, as my Sir called him. In fact it was just as well this was on-line and not face to face or Sir might have taught that 'Dom' a lesson or two.
In my writing too, the rules blur. In fact, being a submissive myself, writing Scarlett was something of a struggle for me. In the end Sir came to my rescue. Don't get hung up about her being a Domme. Just listen to her and write how she feels. What will be, will be.
So, that's what I did, and as any relationship, Mike and Scarlett's is complicated, and so much more than just Dom/sub, whatever you perceive that to be.
One of my beta readers made me smile when she read the first draft.
"Finally, here is a Domme portrayed as a human being with emotions, not just a sadistic bitch."
*grins*
Don't get me wrong. Scarlett is very much in charge, and she does have a sadistic streak, but she is also fragile and feminine, and needs Mike as much as he needs her.
Their dynamics are as unique as they are, and I hope readers will like them as much as I loved writing them. J

Long Blurb:

Tough undercover cop Mike Anderson does not submit to anyone, let alone a pint sized bundle of curves with a Mistress Complex, who stands for everything he despises about BDSM.

Thrown into a world where the rules make no sense to him, he has to rely on his instincts, and they all scream one thing—submit to His Lady.

Scarlett Simpson is one of the most feared Mistresses at Club Spectrum and she has a score to settle. Mike's atrocious behavior needs addressing. If only she wasn't so attracted to the big hunk of a man, and he didn't prove so utterly responsive. As she explores his boundaries through Shibari and Knife Play, Scarlett can't help but get emotionally involved.

Submission freely given is a gift she treasures, but can she trust Mike to stay around once the case is over? When danger comes knocking, will Mike be able to protect her, or will this end in tragedy?




“Fuck, you feel so damn good around my dick, Scarlett. Look at us. Look how I stretch your tight hole. Jesus, baby, tell me this is as freaking good for you as it is for me.”
Scarlett dug her finger nails into his shoulders in answer and clenched around him, and Mike roared. He pulled out and thrust back in again, ramming her into the wall, as she hung on for dear life. Pain mixed with pleasure so intense she couldn’t breathe, couldn’t talk, just hung onto his big shoulders and took all the passion he gave her.
Here was a man brutally taking his own pleasure and sending her body sky high in the process. When he pulled out of her and dragged her over to the sink, Scarlett bit her lip so hard she tasted blood. Mike kicked her legs apart and then slammed back into her from behind. This position drove him deeper than before and when he reached around and stimulated her clit at the same time, Scarlett saw stars. Her whole body tightened in ever closer spirals of pleasure that started from deep inside her core. Impaled by his hot member, his harsh breath in her ear, one hand digging into her hips, the other mercilessly fingering her swollen clit, he pushed her toward a mind-splintering release. Higher and higher she climbed, and when Mike grasped one of her legs and shoved it over the edge of the sink, the move sent her over the edge.
He yanked her torso up and pulled it up against his chest, allowing him to sink deeper still into the clasp of her body. Ripples and waves of pleasure crashed over Scarlett, and she let her head fall back and gave herself up to the sensation rocking her body as Mike increased his tempo even more. Every forceful thrust lifted her off her toes, and Scarlett came a second time, or was it the third. Sensations merged into one, fire raced over her skin, and she screamed his name when he grew bigger still inside her and then grunted his release into her shoulder, and warmth spread deep inside her.
Mike lowered her leg with them both still joined as intimately as two people could be, and he locked his arms next to hers on the sink. By the time her breathing had slowed down enough to speak and her hazy vision cleared, Mike was slowly slipping out of her. She tightened her muscles to keep him in for longer and he groaned and rubbed his morning stubble across her neck. It left delicious tingles in its wake and Scarlett moaned her contentment.
Their gazes locked in the mirror and Mike smiled. Scarlett’s heart turned over in her chest at the open affection she saw in his azure eyes that seemed to bore straight into her very soul.
“Good morning, My Lady. I guess this beats coffee first thing.”

* * * *

She was so fucking beautiful, staring back at him with her huge green eyes, and her fair skin flushed from the force of her orgasms. A primitive sense of ownership grabbed him by the throat and squeezed the breath out of him, and he shut his eyes and nuzzled into the soft skin of her neck. A shudder went through her when he licked the rapidly beating pulse point and nibbled his way up to her ear. Scarlett ground her ass against his thigh and he groaned into her neck.
“You’re so fucking wet for me, baby.”
Scarlett turned around in his arms and gasped when he sat her on the edge of the sink and spread her legs wide. He dropped on his knees and inhaled against her wet slit. Scarlett’s intoxicating musk mixed with his own scent and he watched in fascination as their combined juices slowly trickled out of her pink flesh.
His cock signaled its interest briefly and Scarlett smiled down on him when he looked up.
“Have I broken you?” she whispered.
Mike laughed.
“Hardly, My Lady. Give me five and we’ll be ready to go again. In the meantime…”
He bent his head and delivered butterfly kisses along the incredibly soft skin of her inner thighs. It was one of Mike’s favorite places to linger on any woman, especially just after they’d come. Hot, sweet, and intimate, it called him to indulge, and he blew against her slit, causing an allover body shiver, as her clit contracted in front of his eyes.
“Mike, please… I’m so close again… Oh…yeees.”
It was all the encouragement he needed. Using short shallow strokes he cleaned her cunt, until no traces of their earlier encounter remained. He rubbed his beard-roughened chin across her clit, and placed her legs over his shoulder when she started to tremble. Scarlett’s fingers dug into his shoulders, and she pushed her hips up in a seeming effort to hurry him along, but Mike had his own plans.
He’d been far too rough on her earlier, regardless of how much she had been with him in the moment. Regardless of how much she seemed to have needed that brutal release. Besides he was fast getting addicted to the needy little moans and sighs she couldn’t stop from escaping. The way her fingernails scored his skin and her breaths grew choppier until her body tensed and her pussy clenched and unclenched, trying to draw in his tongue as her cream gushed into his waiting mouth.
He tunneled his fingers into her channel and her greedy little cunt clamped down on the digits, as she came in a series of delightful little tremors. Mike pulled out his wet digits and gathering up more of her cream as he went along, circled her anus and pushed in.
“Yes, there, take me there.”
Scarlett clawed at his skin and his semi hard dick roared into action. He added another finger to stretch her, and Scarlett bucked against him like a wild thing.

“Easy, baby, I’ve got you. I’ll make this so fucking good for you.”


Glutton for punishment would be a good description for Doris... at least that's what she hears on an almost daily basis when people find out that she has a brood of nine children, ranging from adult to toddler and lives happily in a far too small house, cluttered with children, pets, dust bunnies, and one very understanding and supportive husband. Domestic goddess she is not.

There is always something better to do after all, like working on the latest manuscript and trying not to scare the locals even more than usual by talking out loud to the voices in her head. Her characters tend to be pretty insistent to get their stories told, and you will find Doris burning the midnight oil on a regular basis. Only time to get any peace and quiet and besides, sleep is for wimps.

She likes to spin sensual, sassy, and sexy tales involving alpha heroes to die for, and heroines who give as good as they get. From contemporary to paranormal, BDSM to F/F, and Ménage, haunting love stories are guaranteed.

I received a copy of this from the author in return for taking part in her blog tour, and giving an honest review :)

I've been looking forward to this book for along time now. I couldn't wait to see what happened with Mike, as if you've read the first book (Auctioned to the Honourable Dom), you'll know what I mean :D

I liked Mike a lot, after initially disliking him a lot in book 1. He is a pretty sexy cop, whats not to like?! Well at first he seems a bit of a tough guy, but you get to see the soft interior a bit, and see just how far his relationship with Ms Scarlett has developed.

Ms Scarlett, well what can I say? She's one tough lady! I mean, she has got a huge set of balls, but she's also a soft hearted woman on the inside who sometime just needs a cuddle and a bit of love too.

I loved the story of these 2, the whole undercover story of why Mike was there in the first place was really good, and finding out the reasons behind it all shocked me a bit!

As usual Doris writes her characters very well, and not just the main ones, but the small to the side characters who pop up once in a while.

Loved it!

How does Autism affect my family part 2....



If you made it through yesterdays post, well done! And thanks for sticking with me! Today I thought I'd do a second post to carry on with some of the other things we go through here in Dee's house.

Yesterday I chatted about finding out about my children's diagnosis, sensory issues, and a bit about school. But what other stuff is there? Well there is a lot!

Food
Food is a massive issue in this house, not with me lol, I'll eat almost anything!, but my children are a different story. My Daughter (C), is getting a lot better since starting school dinners in September. She now eats some meat, and tries different things a lot. My son (J) is sooo different. Fruit: C will only eat bananas, J won't eat any fruit. Veg: chips! Seriously, frozen potato things like chips, waffles, and potato letters is really the only veg they eat willingly! C has started eating a few peas on her school dinner but that is it. Meat: C is enjoying chicken and turkey, and has tried pork and beef and liked it a little, she also likes gammon at school. J, no meat at all, except (again), frozen processed crap like chicken dippers, popcorn chicken etc etc. But one issue we are having is J's lunch, he will only eat toast with dairylea cheese, every single day since July last year :/  But even though i worry about their diet, their paediatrician says not to worry much, as the goodness they get from their daurylea cheese, yogurts and milk is alright at the moment. And one way of getting fruit into them without knowing, is these things that look like sweets, but are in fact raspberries/strawberries/raisins covered in a little dried yoghurt. They don't eat much chocolate or sweets, so if these fake sweets lol are going to get a little fruit into them, that's the next best thing!

Babysitter

Me and Chris going out can sometimes be a nightmare. We are very lucky in the fact that because routine is so important to people with autism, my children got to bed at 7pm on the dot and go straight to sleep. So when we do want to go out, we have to leave after the kids are in bed. There are only 3 people who can get my kids to bed apart from me and Chris, and that is my sister, my aunt and my Dad. My lovely friend and next door neighbour often babysits after the kids have gone to bed, but only after, as last time they wouldn't go to bed for her, and J ended up downstairs on the sofa. This doesn't seem such a bad thing to some, but honestly it is. It ruins their night, it gives them expectations of being able to do it every night. This also means we can't just get any babysitter either, it has to be someone we trust and that the kids know. This doesn't give us much wiggle room for a night out if our 4 babysitters are busy.

Going out with the kids
Taking the kids out can be  nightmare. J was using a special needs pushchair up until around January this year, and to be honest it was easier! As he's still getting used to walking properly outdoors, getting somewhere on foot can take a while longer! As I mentioned yesterday, J has sensory issues with public transport because of the crowds, therefore we taxi everywhere if it's not in walking distance, or if it's raining pretty bad. if the crowds in the place we go are too much, this ends up in a  meltdown with either child. For example, we could never take them into a supermarket, as the crowds and noise was too much and it ended up with them both screaming, and us just leaving without our shopping. Things are getting better though, and since we introduced it a few minutes first, then a  little longer, they can now cope fr about 20/25 minutes in a quiet-ish store.

Routine
Routine is huge in this house. I've seen many tantrums just because we've walked a different way home from school or the shops. But little things like that we change sometimes, just so they get used to it. There are certain things in their routine that they need though. Like their milk before bed. They have a small glass of milk each night before bed, if they don't get it, they won't go to bed, and won't sleep properly. They know that after milk comes bed.Their bed time has to be the same every night, 7pm. We can wiggle it 5 minuted either way, but they just know when its bed time now. There are things that cause major kick offs though, like one time my Dad took me in the car to pick J up from school, so he expected it every day, and when it wasn't happening, J would scream and cry and fight, and refuse to come home!

So there you have it. A bit of a look into our lives here. You know, it's manic sometimes, loud most of the time, and crazy all of the time! But I wouldn't change it. My kids are amazing, beautiful and extremely loving. When things are going a bit sour through the day, their kisses and cuddles are all I need to remind me that things could be so much worse, and I love them with all of my heart. And I'm sure they love me too :D

How does Autism affect my family? Autism Awareness Month


April is Autism Awareness Month around the world. So I thought I'd do a post about how autism affects me and my family, I don't think I've written much about it on here before, bear with me, this might be a long one!

When my daughter was 2 years old, my partner Chris started picking up on little things she was doing, and started looking into Autism. I remember I was reading Jodi Picoult's 'House Rules' at the time, in which the main character has Aspergers Syndrome, a form of autism. It was while reading that, that I started noticing similarities between the character, and my daughter. She eventually (after a lot of meetings and appointments with various people), got a diagnosis of Autism. I remember this breaking my heart. I didn't know much about Autism,Ii had only met one child with Autism when  I was 16 and worked in a nursery. He was totally non verbal, didn't like to be touched etc. I thought this was what life was going to be like for my girl. A few months before my daughter got her diagnosis, we started noticing the same things happening with my son who was 2 at the time. Therefore the ball got rolling, and yep, at around 2 and a half years old, he was diagnosed too.

Someone told me children with Autism don't smile, don't laugh, don't like to be touched, can't show emotion, and don't love. This seriously killed me inside. But now I know, boy was that person wrong. My children were both diagnosed at 2 and a half. They are now 5 and 4, so it's been a couple years since we first found out. And they are so loving.

We have good days and bad days. The bad can sometimes be horrific. My daughter doesn't have a great deal of sensory issues any more, she has learnt to overcome some of them, but some things still affect her. Bright lights annoy her, if there are loud sounds you still see her covering her ears until it has stopped. My son has lots of sensory issues, but again some of these are calming down. He has issues with loud sounds and crowds. What does all of this mean? Well, with the crowd issues my son has, it means we can't use public transport like buses or trains. This means we have to taxi or walk everywhere. As you can imagine, with it being £10 each way for a hospital appointment, it sometimes becomes very expensive. it means we have to plan things in advance most of the time, like trips to soft play, if it's busy, you can see they get overwhelmed easily with the noise and amount of people there, this can result in a major meltdown.

But it's not just sensory issues that affect them. They don't understand things like we do. For instance, social boundaries. They will gladly say hello and talk to anyone, which is very scary for us, as they would possibly gladly wander off if they weren't watched like a hawk.

But with the bad things, comes great things. My daughter is very bright and has high functioning autism. At 5 years old she has a reading age of around 9/10, is in the year above her normal one in school 3 days a week for an hour to do spellings with the older kids, and gets 10/10 every week. My son is getting on well and knows all of his numbers, colours, letters, and some words.  My daughter is in a mainstream school and is coping very well, she loves her friends but doesn't understand how to play games properly sometimes. My son is in a specialist autism school at nursery, although he also goes to a mainstream playgroup in the mornings too. They both need full time one-to-one support in school, but the people they have are fantastic and really know and understand how to deal with their moods.


There is plenty more I can say, but I think this is longer than Ia first anticipated!

I may do another post soon about the other ways in which autism affects us. If you made it to the end of this one, thank you so much. Feel free to comment :D
