Recommended Read

Jennie: When Janine mentioned this expanded novella, and suggested we review it together, she asked if I’d read it when it originally came out in 2004. My book log says no, but my brain says yes. If I didn’t read it I must’ve read a lot about it back when it was ... more >

REVIEW: Tactical Submission (Windsor Club #1) by Ada Maria Soto

SiriusBook Reviews / C Reviews / C Reviews Category / C- ReviewsBDSM / Erotic-Romance / f/f romance / m/f romance / m/m romance / open relationship1 Comments

Review: Dear Ada Maria Soto, When I saw your book on Kindle Unlimited, I was very pleased. I loved your novella “His Quiet Agent”. The novella did not have any explicit sex scenes, but in theory I very much enjoy BDSM themed romances, so “Tactical Submission” sounded very much like ... more >
