This review is for the short story, Control as part of the Roulette collection, written by Dani Rene. This short story had me enthralled from the start. The unspoken chemistry between the characters had me spellbound and I read it in one sitting! Such a lot of awesome packed in such a small number of pages. Another brilliant read from Dani!
My review currently is for Control by Dani Rene.
I love how we begin with a taste of each character and how their stories might begin to play out. Jed and Kaelin’s story is that forbidden/rockstar romance twist in the BDSM scene and I couldn’t get enough. Their time together is nothing short of steamy and edge of your seat page turning feels. We’re given a decent amount of their background and story and yet there’s a window that’s left open to possibly learn more about them in the future. I will definitely be reading the other authors stories and seeing what everyone else has to share in Black Light.
Black Light Celebrity Roulette, set at Black Light West on Valentines night. The whole idea behind these stories is amazing. Starting off with an intro of the plans for the night, then an introduction into the characters in the series before splitting off in stories of their own.
Control by Dani René
Kaelin Le Blanc has had a crush on Jed Major since she was 16. Jed has always made her believe he hates her, except he doesn’t. She is the one person he wants that he can’t have. A Valentines night at Black Light brings them together.
I loved both Jed and Kaelin, the chemistry between them, the steaming hot scenes at Black Light. Although this is a short novella it’s still packed with everything I’ve come to love from a Dani René read.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review.
My review is for Control by Dani Rene’
This is the story of Jed and Kaelin. Jed is a dominant. He is cocky and did I mention that he is also a rockstar. When there is a opportunity to win a night to spen in Jed’s company Kaelin is the winner. She too is also a submissive and this begins the journey of their amazing connection and sizzling hot romance. This is a really hot story and if you have read Dani Rene’ you know what to expect and she doesn’t let you down. I loved every second that I spent in the world of Jed and Kaelin. I fell so in love with these characters and couldn’t read the story fast enough. Amazing job and addition to this anothology that will have you taking a cold shower when you are done.
The intro: The west coast Black Light is going to have a celebrity roulette this Valentines day. Jason, Chase and other DM’s discuss how they are putting it all together. Madison will host the event. They are having a celebrity auction. People will bid on their favorite and highest bidder wins. The night comes and everything pretty much goes off without a hitch. The couples get matched up and let the fun begin!
I have only read two of the books so this is my review on them.
Hooked: Jennifer Bene
This is about the pairing of Vanessa, the ballet dancer and Wyatt who won the bid. Vanessa has issues about her self esteem. She not a good enough dancer, her body isn’t that great and she feels unattractive. She gets caught up in her head all to often. Enter Wyatt who actually likes her and admires her. He also has is own issues. Wyatt has seen Vanessa at Black Light before but had trouble asking to scene with her. They spin and get “impact play”. Wyatt and especially Vanessa was happy for that spin. They had a very satisfying session. Wyatt knew what he was doing whereas others thought her to delicate. He didn’t let her down. They spin again and get “anal play”. And again Wyatt doesn’t let her down again and was very satisfying for both of them. They end up both helping each other through their issues. They end their night at Black Light and take it to Wyatt’s place. Loved the story and would like more of their after story, maybe? All in all a great story with two people able to calm themselves with each other.
Switched: Livia Grant
Nolan and Piper have a past, not much of one but Nolan still wants her. Piper has become a Domme, the Ice Queen. She is to participate in the celebrity roulette. Nolan told her he would be there also, she thought as a participant. What Piper didn’t know was Nolan was to be her submissive. At this point Nolan didn’t care he just wanted to be able to be with her. He will endure for her. Piper has an inner conflict going on. He actually has feelings for Nolan. Something in Piper’s past has turned her into this Ice Queen. She has vowed never to lose control again in her life. Nolan tries his best to break through. But at the end of the night she leaves hurriedly, leaving Nolan still tied up. Nolan feels like his heart has been torn to shreds. Jason gives Nolan his phone with Piper’s number in it. He finds out she was a crying mess as she left the club. He calls and leaves a message for her. Telling her it’s not over. There will be more of their story apparently at a later time.
As always the Black Light series is going to be a big hit. Look forward to more.
This is The First Time I’m reading Roulette and I have high hopes for it considering Great authors that are participating.
Introduction
This one is setting The whole event. Meeting of Doms and whole Roulette it was a nice setting and I’m for sure intrigued in ALL The stories that would be There. Each story will Wave different kink Play from shipping to Role Play. Hopefully, each story will be unique and steamy and kinky!
Control by Dani Rene
It’s a shortie, but the chemistry is palpable and some teen dreams here are coming true. Jed and Kaelin have known each other. She knew him longer as he’s a rock star. And now she’s about to act on her feelings to him! What will come out of it?
Hooked by Jennifer Bene
I recently start reading this series and just let me say that they are definitely hot. This Black Light members they sure know what they want. Wyatt has wanted Vanessa for awhile now and in this Valentine’s night he might just have want he has always wanted. I wish there was a bit more to their story but being a anthology I know they are a short read. But I hope in a near future we might now what have become of them.
Control by Dani Rene
Another fantastic read. Jed and Kaelin they have it so bad that they are starting to lose control of their emotions and needs for one other. And in this roulette they are definitely taking what they want. I have always have a thing for older guys Jed was definitely my rockstar.
This anthology is absolutely amazing!
As usual, Black Collar Press has done an wonderful job of gathering together nine really amazing authors for Black Light Celebrity Roulette the 3rd annual Valentine’s Day Anthology. Owner/writers Jennifer Bene and Livia Grant have curated a BDSM collection of stories that run the gambit of participants from novice to expert all experiencing something different within the vast spectrum of BDSM kinks.
Starting with a smart introduction, Jennifer Bene and Livia Grant provide the reader with a solid foundation for the nine stories.
The first story I read was Switched, a second chance at love story with a twist by Livia Grant. (Master) Nolan wants Piper in his life again, willingly accepting her as Mistress Ice for the evening. The story was sexy and compelling to read as they both are determined to have their own way.
On a more subtle sensual vein, Maggie Ryan’s Savior captivated me. Carnegie is shocked to learn her bid has won Chef Ronan Bellington for the evening. I loved Ronan’s delight in the opportunity to cure Carnegie of her sexual shyness. Along with being a master chef he was a Master in making Carnegie and the reader hot and bothered.
Each of the other authors have created couples equally fascinating which I’ll leave for you to discover for yourself.
At present this is a review for the intro, Jennifer Bene’s book, Hooked and Switched, by Livia Grant.
Introduction Scene – 4.5 stars
Wow this was almost an entire story in and off itself! We get the very heated, in more ways than one, meeting at Black Light West to arrange the event, then we get a very different view of the Valley Girl that is Madison.
This totally drew me into the story, it sets up some stories for more than just what you will enjoy in Celebrity Roulette . I loved the dynamic between Jaxon and Chase, and it was good to catch up with characters we have met in more recent books.
Hooked, by Jennifer Bene – 5 stars
This was one red hot read, with a hero very unlike the usual men we are used to from this author.b That isn’t to say that Wyatt isn’t all Dom, but it was good to read about one with deep empathy skills and his own worries. bIt made him so very real and easy to connect with.
Whilst Vanessa had some self-worth issues, which Wyatt definitely started to spank out of her, she was still a very strong character, both mentally and physically. The chemistry and connection between them was intense and totally believable. They drew me in to this story and I read it late into the night, just to finish it in one sitting.
We are treated to some VERY hot aBDSM scenes. There is nothing too boundary pushing but they are still very powerful and potent.
Switched, by Livia Grant – 5 stars
I’ve never read a book where the heroine is a Domme, mainly because the idea doesn’t appeal. I guess it’s because I like my men rough, tough and alpha to the core. However this story has gone a long way to changing my mind. It was hot, steamy and emotional too.
Piper, the heroine, is known as Mistress Ice and that describes her usual emotions too. Nolan is the Dom who can’t forget the night he spent with her a few years ago. He wants a chance to explore the connection he feels they have, or at least an opportunity for closure. So he submits, or at least tries his best to, for a night with the woman of his dreams.
We get some intense scenes, a lot of chemistry and a very open end that promises we will see more of Piper and Nolan. I can’t wait to learn even more about this pair, both characters had good depth and I really felt their emotions. They are something very special together and this was a wonderful introduction to them both.
If the rest of the book is of a similar quality then this is going to be one amazing read!
Control by Dani Rene
I loved Kaelin and Jed who have known each other for a very long time with hidden feelings and have no way to act on them until the Celebrity Roulette and these two will melt you into a big puddle, their intense and fierce a whole lot of truths come out and its perfect.
Hooked by Jennifer Bene
The Beautiful Ballerina Vanessa is won by Wyatt and once he learns everything about her he bids and he is determined to have her more then once. They were sweet and hot and connected so perfectly.
Guarded by Renee Rose
Lincoln has a secret crush on Scarlett and wants back in as her bodyguard he wins his bid and oh boy has his work paid off as he takes all control finally from Scarlett and shows all his emotion through the scenes. These two are on fire and once they get the shyness out of the way all bets are off.
Event Planning was the introduction to Black Light Celebrity Roulette and it was so good to catch up on Jax, Chase and Emma as well as meeting new characters. The west coast club is just as fascinating as the original and the new characters fit in seamlessly.
Hooked – Jennifer Bene
I always love Black Light Roulette and I especially liked Hooked. Vanessa and Wyatt were such a lovely couple and although the first scene did not excite me, I don’t like pain, the second scene was so erotic and so lovely I was just a puddle at the end of the book.
Switched – Livia Grant
Switched made me cry. Nolan cares for Piper so much he is prepared to submit to her and she won’t give home the time of day. Something happened between their incredible night together and now, but she won’t tell him what. Hopefully Ms. Grant will write a book about the so we find out. Loved the story even though it was sad.
Control
This is such a sweet story even though it is raw and sexy. Sometimes privacy deprives us of what we really want. Kaelian has always been in love with Jed and he with her but Jed thought he was too much for her as he was a sadistic Dom. Unbeknownst to him Kaelin is a member of the same exclusive club he plays at. Thanks to the celebrity Valentine roulette night they get their chance.
Control Dani Rene
Oh what a read this was. Absolutely loved Kaelin and Jed. She’s had a crush on him forever, he has lusted after her from afar. Jed thinks she can’t give him what he needs, she finds out he can give her exactly what she needs. These two are holy smoking hot together once they figure out they are exactly what they each other needs.
I received an Advanced Reader Copy for two of the stories. Livia Grant’s Switch and Renee Rose’s Guarded.Both stories are fun, layered and very , very steamy. Ms Grant’s does end on a cliffhanger. Blacklight is a series that is based in two BDSM clubs, BL East , based in DC and BL West, which is in LA. The books are written by various authors, who all manage to really capture the clubs beautifully. This anthology takes place in BL West. The base of the story is their annual Valentine’s Roulette, which pairs a Dom/me and sub and they spin a roulette wheel which picks out their scene within their allowed 4 or 5 limits. This year’s roulette also adds the additional spin of an auction. The highest bidder (or first runner up in case of default) gets to scene with their chosen participating celebrity. Switch throws in a couple of interesting twists and is a highly emotional ride. Guarded is a short, fast-paced, steamy kinkfest. Loved both of these stories. These two stories are worth the price of the whole anthology.
Oh my Lord, this anthology is !!!!! Dani and all the other authors should do more!!!!! These authors are so phenomenally talented and each of their books in this anthology shows it!!!!! This one will MOST DEFINITELY be in my re-read often pile!!!!! Woooooowww!!!!!
