The premise of all the stories involve BDSM, a private club, invitation only, a roulette wheel, Dom’s and Sub’s and Valentine’s Day.
I liked the fact that the book began with background regarding the rules and pairings before breaking off into the detail of the individual books. I would give each of the books a minimum of 4.5 stars.
Unrestrained – Jennifer Bene
I have read a number of BDSM books, but DAMN. This one was intense. After reading, you need to take a deep breath and come up for air.
Brat – Livia Grant
When Gabby turned up at the club, the last person she expected to see was Connor. Completely inexperienced, Gabby is introduced to submission by Connor, the new trusted of her inheritance. Will Gabby Stafford out of her predicament?
Forced – Renee Rose
Victor and Mariana find they have an insta-attraction, something neither expected. I was never sure if Mariana was a sub and didn’t realize it, or if she was just willing to jump in to the unknown with both feet in order to watch out for her sister. A short story about gaining insight to desires that not previously known that ends with a HEA.
Doctored – Sue Lyndon
Hunter and Natalie unknowingly end up reconnecting after several years. They had always had an attraction. Paired up at Black Light, their first scene focused on medical play. This was an ok read.
Shameless – Maren Smith
This short story had a couple of different layers. Hadlee had issues she was trying to reconcile. She was at Black Light to reclaim her. strength, her dignity. Garrett started out being her protector, but he needed so much more from Hadlee. There was a crazy ex involved and a somewhat icky scene. This was a standalone, yet, there looks like there may be a continuation of the story. It’s not really a cliff hanger as Garrett and Hadlee get their HEA, but I need to know what happens next.
Edge – Alta Hensley
Dean and Melinda reconnect at Black Light. This is a second chance romance between two people who previously embraced their D/s relationship. A lesson in discovering that you can’t live your life for others.
Confessions – Measha Stone
My first thought was this book was going to be about a menage. It’s not. You could say it is a romance between two people who embrace kink. The dynamic of their relationship exchanges during their time at Black Light. The chemistry is there, and they get their HEA.
Surrender – Maggie Ryan
This story focuses on another interesting kink, shibari. One aspect of the story that I found intriguing was a woman who thought she was submissive, but realized she wasn’t truly “being” submissive. The man she had been attracted to for quite a while was the Dom who assisted Her in understanding her submission. You also get a HEA with this one.
Taken – Jane Henry
This book provides us with a second chance romance. It seems shorter than some of the other stories in this boxed set. I’m not sure about the length because Kindle does locations in a lot of books, and not pages.
I also wasn’t sure if Della was a sub, if she had played before, or if she had just never played with Brayden. I got the sense from the conversation at the beginning of the book that this was something new for her. This book also provides you a HEA.
I also appreciated the “epilogue”. The loose ends of the night are tied up, some of the questions are answered, and it has you looking forward to the next Valentine Roulette. I think this set has a little something for almost everyone. If you are offended by dungeons, kink, D/s lifestyle, spanking, etc., take a pass on this box set.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy.
By Gab
A year has gone by, it is Valentines Day again and the magic Roulette wheel at Blacklight is pairing Doms and subs once more. It seems a kinky magic godmother is controlling where the ball ends up, because it always seems to bring the “right” people together.
Unrestrained by Jennifer Bene
Once again Ms Bene weaves her word magic. She turns a quietly cocky, hard core sadist into a man I would like to know. Intimately!
Like lightning strikes she strings the most succulent scenes together and ends with a thunderclap of an S/m pairs dream.
Brat by Livia Grant
A true brat swindles her way into Blacklights Valentine Roulette. The reluctant Dom the wheel selects for her, has years of family history with her. Still, he sets out to teach her what submission really feels like. And not just in theory. This is a delightful BDSM 101.
Forced by Renee Rose
What does a big sister do when little sis tells her she wants to get spanked by a random stranger? She insist on going with her to protect her. One being a BDSM newbie, and the other having gotten a one-evening-theoretical-crash-course in kink, she gets paired with a street smart Dom that introduces her to a whole new world of delights.
Doctored by Sue Lyndon
A distinguished ex-senator is paired with his former opponents daughter. Both have been pining for the other for many years. Lo and behold, the Magic Wheel gives them the opportunity to express their feelings with a delicious set of challenges.
Shameless by Maren Smith
A bodily and emotionally battered sub is trying to find her equilibrium at the Valentine party, only to be confronted by her abuser again. But this time there are two Doms and lots of other people there to help and protect her. This is a sensuous food fest with a surprising outcome.
Edge by Alta Hensley
After a devastating loss Melinda makes a series of fateful decisions that end up in even more loss.The step to take part in the Valentine Roulette is one of the first to reclaim her life and her love. Though things do not quite go according to her plan, they turn out even better as planned for her Dom.
Confessions by Measha Stone
Dani has been “adopted” by her dead brothers buddies. But her feelings for Gray are far from brotherly. Gray and Scott are regulars at Blacklight, and when Dani shows up at Roulette night, Gray gets all huffy. But of course the wheel gets him right where he needs to be. With Dani. And when they finally acknowledge their feelings for each other, Gray opens up his bag of tricks!
Surrender by Maggie Ryan
Take one mouthy bottom who eviscerates most of the tops she plays with, and have her flaunt herself with the Dom the wheel chose for her in front of her, not so secret, secret favourite. He finally snaps, breaking all the rules and shows her what true submission feels like.
Taken by Jane Henry
Finding his ex-wife at Blacklight and being paired with her by the wheel, makes Brayden realize it isn’t just resentment that kept her memory alive. And his ex Della, oozing venom out of every pore, comes to realize the same thing.
It seemed impossible to repeat last years Valentine anthology’s success. But the ladies of Black Collar Press have done it again!
And hopefully there will be many opportunities to find out more about the couples over the span of this year!
1. UNRESTRAINED by JENNIFER BENE
There had never been a challenge that Bianca Rossi didn’t want to tackle. She was hoping the wheel would pair her with someone worthy of her time. Silas was a member of Black Light but rarely played the way he wanted to. His type of submissive was often snagged up immediately and then guarded as a rare jewel. When these two are paired by the roulette wheel, it immediately becomes an explosion of wants, feels, and needs on both parts. Neither is prepared for what they receive. Definitely a happy for now with the possibility of more to come … at least I’m hoping Jennifer Bene adds them to another Black Light book.
2. BRAT by LIVIA GRANT
Connor had taken over his father’s partnership in the law firm that represented Black Light. But when he received the invitation, as a senior partner, to the Valentine’s Redux at the club, he crumpled the paper and threw it down in his office. Enter Gabriella, a long-time friend of his family, client of the firm that held the trustee to her inheritance, and resented pseudo sibling. When these two meet up again after eight years, fireworks ignite. I learned something new in this book and so did Gabriella.
3. FORCED by RENEE ROSE
Mariana has run her parents’ restaurant for fourteen years, putting family first, i.e. her baby sister through college. Now her parents want to retire and the business is sold. Mariana comes to Washington D.C. to be with her sister. Seems their relationship has suffered during all those years. This storyline takes a surprising twist when the sisters get to talking and they BOTH decide to go to Valentine’s Redux. Who would’ve thought it? Certainly not Mariana. What a great storyline and one that easy to relate to.
4. DOCTORED by SUE LYNDON
Sue Lyndon is a new author to me, so I had no idea what to expect when it came to writing style or ability. In this storyline, she introduces us to Hunter and Natalie who haven’t seen each other personally in five years. They have a previous history where Natalie’s father was the political rival to Hunter at one time. A scandal broke out before the election and Natalie’s father used that as his excuse for not winning the election. Each has been invited to participate in the Valentine’s Redux at Black Light. Will Fate step in and bring these two together? Will the connection they once had reignite into something more pronounced? Sue Lyndon wove her magic and gave us a great storyline with characters that were so relatable it kept me glued to the pages until I finished their tale.
5. SHAMELESS by MAREN SMITH
Hadlee had run from an abusive D/s relationship six months ago. She’s yet to become whole again. That’s why her decision to go to Black Light’s Valentine Redux is so important. It’s to find herself again. To once again be the person she was when she first started going. Garreth, a Dom at Black Light, was the one person Hadlee knew she could call to come pick her up when she ran. Unfortunately, I could recognize many traits in Hadlee’s behavior that I need to address. This was such an emotional, heart pounding, sexually charged story with characters that are either easy to love or easy to hate. Be forewarned, this one ends with a gasping cliffhanger.
6. EDGE by ALTA HENSLEY
Yes, Melinda had been the one to call the attorney and file for a divorce from her husband, Senator Mark Stanton. In her mind, Mark had been the one asking for a divorce by cheating on her and completely shattering her heart all within a year of their marriage. The worst part was how much she had given up by marrying the senator to make her father happy. One of those things had been her first Dom, Dean, the man she had given not only her submission but her everything to. Going to Black Light’s Valentine Redux might help her get the pieces of herself back so she could rebuild her life. Will the Fates be kind?
7. CONFESSIONS by MEASHA STONE
Sammy was all the family Dani had left after their parents died. Gray and Scott had been in the infantry unit with her brother. Sammy didn’t make it back and now, Gray and Scott, we like pseudo big brothers because of some kind of warrior’s promise. It was easy to let them fill the void and now they were her family. During one of their Sunday dinners, she heard the two of them talking about a BDSM party. Scott suggested letting Dani know about it since it would be in a safer environment than what she’d be going to. Gray refused to entertain the idea. Dani had heard enough from the other room to know she needed to ask about the details at Overtime. She intended to go to that party one way or another, and was sure someone at the other club knew where it was.
8. SURRENDER by MAGGIE RYAN
Marty’s best friend, Charlie, was married to Dillon’s brother. That made them a relatively tight little group. To sweeten the pot, Marty was head over heels for Dillon. As a Dominant Shibari Master at Black Light, Dillon had a tough time with Marty’s submissive play. He’d seen her in scene several times and Marty had a tendency to top from the bottom. And now its time for Black Light’s Valentine Redux. What the Fates have in store for these two is just eye-opening and tingle worthy. Maggie Ryan has given us a couple worthy of their own story.
9. TAKEN by JANE HENRY
Once again, a Black Light anthology has left me in awe of the author’s talents and pleasantly satiated with the results of the scenes provided by their Doms and subs. I’ve left a small review for those books I’ve read so far and as I continue to read to the end, I’ll be sure to update the remaining books. But so far, this amass of great talent is so well worth the time and hard work they’ve each put into their work. I’m just in awe and hope we can continue to do it again in 2020. Congratulations to all of you!!!
I loved how this book started with a story of the club and then progressed into each couples spin of the wheel and their activities. How some couples were already known to each other and some were not, and how they overcame the emotions and feelings that they were being drawn into.
Great stories!
I had not read any of the other black light series and was truly impressed. Now I will go back to the first book and start over.
Another great valentine book. All the authors have done an excellent job in writing these stories. They are full of getting to know the characters and some very sexy scenes. I am hooked on the Black Light Series. Get your copy and enjoy.
Oh yes. You need to become addicted to This series!
Be prepared for some wickedly dirty reading! This book contains different stories within the same book, written by different authors. What I liked is, they took nine different couples all at the same BDSM club and told their unique story, each author adding their own kink to the couples. Be prepared to blush!
Awesome read. If you like books about BDSM this one is great and you get many stories in this book.
Loved the set-up of this book the variety of BDSM scenes, and the characters. I want to know more of these characters and I hope to see follow up novels or novellas.
I liked the Valentine Roulette at Black Light the first time around but I absolutely loved it this second time!! It had more depth to it with a great deal of not just sexiness but fantastic storytelling. I felt that the characters really shined through. As always, the authors did an excellent job with all BDSM aspects and definitely brought it both with edginess and the chemistry between the different characters. This is one of my favorites in the series!
It’s Time to Play!
I was so excited for the opportunity to read “Black Light Redux” with so many of my favorite authors. Although provided an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review, I pre-ordered my very own copy after simply reading the introduction “Black Light Redux” is an originally themed, compilation which weaves each story together flawlessly. The anthology includes an overarching introduction as well as a conclusion. Every story is professionally written, fast paced and the heat level is off the charts hot… placing both Kindles (and unmentionables) at risk for spontaneous combustion!
A brief overview of each story follows beginning with…
Taken by Jane Henry: An incredibly emotional story about a second chance romance with amazing characterizations. I found myself totally invested in this couple’s journey and hoping that love would ultimately prevail. Can the past ever be forgotten… or forgiven? “Taken” is simply erotic romance at its best!
Forced by Renee Rose: Wow, just wow! “Forced” is a deliciously decadent, darker story featuring a fantasy that is certain to test limits in a very good way. With completely compelling characters, this sizzling hot story will keep you riveted until the end. “Forced” highlights Ms. Roses ability to suck you in and make you wish for more.
Surrender by Maggie Ryan: Another incredibly exciting story that made me want to pop some popcorn and settle in for the show! Ms. Ryan has an amazing way with words and her characterizations are always captivating. Owen is the perfect tutor and Marty may just turn out to be his perfect pupil!
Confessions by Measha Stone: In this scorching hot little tale, sassy meets dominant and making someone see you in a different light is the name of the game. Is confession truly good for the body, heart and soul? The interplay between these characters is totally intense as well as riveting. I absolutely adored both characters!
Shameless by Maren Smith: “Shameless” made me want to shamelessly smack someone, hug someone else and simply melt in the end. As the story unfolded, I went through a torrent of emotions but came through it feeling stronger for the journey. With plenty of heat “Shameless” may just leave you breathless.
Brat by Livia Grant: Gabriella’s invitation might be a little questionable and the roulette spin had me on the veritable edge of my seat. Another exciting wild ride and the tension at times is palpable. Does Gabriella steal Connor’s heart or will the past get in the way of redefining the future? Get ready for plenty of excitement as well as heat!
Doctored by Sue Lyndon: Oh yeah, just what the doctor ordered! This treatment plan ratchets up the heat as well as the tension. I’ve always had a thing for older men and after this one you will too! 😉 Delectable as well as squirm inducing, the buildup and characterizations are truly awesome! Hunter can play doctor with me anytime he wants! 😉
Edge by Alta Hensley: “Edge” is all about new beginnings and second chances. Life is a journey of self-discovery, making decisions and discovering your future. Will the determination of one holy hot dominant lead to something more? Highly charged and erotic “Edge” kept me on edge, swiping feverishly until the very end.
Unrestrained by Jennifer Bene: Oh, my… it just wouldn’t be an erotic anthology without some scorching hot S/M! Jennifer Bene did a wonderful job of taking the characters subdued expectations and transforming them into high heat. Edgy and intense “Unrestrained” is a literal page turner. Silas is one scary dominant in an incredibly hot way!
There is no doubt “Black Light Redux” is well worth the price and should be included in every erotic romance fan’s library. I’ll be stalking this series from the beginning with “Black Light: Rocked (Black Light Series Book 1)” to work my way through all the previous adventures!

Heat level
Appealing Narrative

Professional Writing
Satisfactory Conclusion
Outstanding well written collection of BDSM stories
This book is absolutely amazing. It’s times like this that I wish I could add a 6th star to my review.
Across word and page each author brought their own creative imagination and point of view on an aspect of BDSM play. The characters were all well written and I loved each couple. The authors left me wanting more of their stories.
Each story was so special they need their own mini review.
1) Unrestrained by Jennifer Bene
Silas and Bianca are a wonderful pairing, Silas is a sadist and she’s tough on the Doms she’s played with in the past. She met her match in Silas.-
2) Brat by Livia Grant
Gabriella (Ella) and Connor have had an adversarial relationship all their lives. But there is a fine line between love and hate, and having her bottom spanked by Connor has them both crossing that line and discovering a new intimate relationship.
3) Forced by Renee Rose
This story is a little on the darker side with Mariana and Victor stepping over the line into rape fantasy. Extremely well done but a possible trigger so readers should be aware of the sensitive subject.
4) Doctored by Sue Lyndon
Natalie and Hunter were one of my favorite couples. Rather than a second chance at love story, more like a finally their chance at love.
5) Shameless by Maren Smith
Hadlee and Gareth were friends when the story began. Hadlee is paired with Noah who sees something special in their interactions and steps aside so they can scene. If all the stories this one has set the stage for a follow with Hadlee helping an old friend. I really hope Noah gets his own sub in a future book.
6) Edge by Alta Hensley
Melinda and Dean were a true second chance at love story. I loved how Dean guided Melinda back into their D/s relationship.
7) Confessions by Measha Stone
Dani and Grayson have known each other for years but as his late friends little sister Dani was out of bounds. That all changed when they are paired up and the feelings that have been below the surface for both of them surface. There appears to be a
loose end with Sophie and Scott a couple who don’t get to play. I’m hopeful they will have their own story.
8) Surrender by Maggie Ryan
Marty and Edward are originally paired up but it’s really Owen that Marty wants and Owen has been watching this sub Top from the bottom to long. He gets Edward to step aside and suddenly Marty better be careful, as getting what you wish for could be more than she thought it would be.
9) Taken by Jane Henry
Della and Braydon married young and divorced quickly, seven years later, paired for the night old hurts are laid to rest and a promise for a new life together is begun. I loved how Braydon used his opportunity to discipline Della to address her past misbehaviors and wipe the slate clean.
Roulette Redu Introduction and Conclusion by Livia Grant & Jennifer Bene set the stage and wrapped the Valentine’s Day stories up in this wonderful collection. I can hardly to read sbout what happens. While all the stories read as stand alonrs there were some couples stories that wee yet to be told. I look forward to seeing what’s coming next at Black Light.
I was fortunate to receive an Advance Reader copy of this anthology.
Three hours. Four hard limits. Nine hot stories.
The most wicked game in the world of BDSM is back for another night of fulfilling your dirtiest fantasies! This year we see a few authors who are new to the world of Black Light, but we also have some familiar authors.
We start of with an introduction by the trio that started Black Light and it is lovely to get a glimpse back into their lives. I really love Jaxson, Chase and Emma.
Then it is showtime!
Jennifer Bene – Unrestrained
The first story in the Black Light Roulette boxset and it is an amazing start of the book. Silas and Bianca both hope that this night they might find the right partner to play with. Bianca is looking for a Dom strong enough to take her in hand and Silas wants a sub who won’t break when he unleashes his Sadistic side.
What follows are three really intense, but also beautiful and scorching play scenes. There is an instant connection and chemistry between Bianca and Silas, but Bianca really makes Silas works for it. Iher sassy responses made me giggle.
Livia Grant – Brat
Connor and Gabriella have known each other for all their lives, but they meet again after 10 years apart. What I loved about this story is the connection between the characters and their realisation that both of them have grown up and aren’t the same person anymore.
Connor is an experience Dom, while Gabriella is a total newbie who has no real idea what she is in for during this night. It is wonderful to see Gabriella take her first steps and embrace her submission. And some of the scenes made me laugh. Gabriella rolled some interesting scenes.
Renee Rose- Forced
Mariana only comes to the event to keep an eye on her younger sister and a bet. Victor wants Mariana the moment he sees her, What follows surprises both of them.
The interaction and play between Mariana and Victor is very intense, raw and emotional which makes this story you will have trouble putting down and want to reread again and again.
Sue Lyndon- Doctored
Meet Hunter and Natalie. They has known each other for years. Natalie has been burned badly by the people she loved and trusted. She uses pain as a relief, but at Roulette you don’t have a choice. You play how the ball rolls. And the ball drops at some interesting plays.
There is a great connection between Hunter and Natalie. Hunter know what Natalie needs and will do anything in his power to give her that. What I loved about this story is that everything is based on trust, but what do you do when you don’t trust?
Maren Smith – Shameless
This is a wonderful and very emotional story. Hadlee is still recovering from a horrible abusive relationship and uses the Roulette to come back and show her ex that she has moved on.
Hadlee is so strong and brave and faces her fears this night with the help of Noah and Gareth. It was so beautiful to read when she gets to experience how it should be. I loved the description of the flogging, it was so erotic. The food play was gross and a turn on at the same time.
My favorite scene was the intimate moment in the shower when both Hadlee and Gareth were so vulnerable.
Alta Hensley – Edge
Melinda was Dean’s submissive before she got married. She is back after her divorce, but in that process she lost her submission.
What I loved about this story is that Dean take his time to reconnect and to gain her trust with Melinda before they start to play. Dean helps Melinda to get her confidence back and to believe in herself again. When they start to play, you get a beautiful and sexy scene.
My favorite line in this story: “Free from my restraints, I never felt so tethered before in my life”.
Measha Stone – Confessions
The story of Grayson and Dani. Grayson has been acting like a big brother to Dani for years, but Dani isn’t a little girl anymore.
Dani was a wonderful sassy character who know exactly what she is doing and how to push Grayson’s buttons. She is a bit of a brat, but Grayson does surprise her. He is not afraid to show her who is the boss.
There is a very intense and hot pain play scene. And we get a wonderful inside into their changing dynamics.
Maggie Ryan – Surrender
Lots of giggles while reading this story about Marty and Owen. Marty has been topping from the bottom since day one. Owen has been watching on the sideline, but no more. He will show Marty what it is like to be submissive.
It is great to see two strong characters battling it out together. Marty is forced to look deep inside herself which make for an emotional read.The shibari play was amy favorite. It was panty melting hot
Jane Henry – Taken
The last story of the boxset and it features Brayden and Della. They have a history together and they clash when they meet again.
This night gives Brayden and Della the opportunity to get rid of the ghosts of the past and atone for what happend. What I loved about these two is that both of them admit that they made mistakes and the blame is not lying with one of them.
It was a very emotional read full of healing and hope.
Pure heaven, the pace is At the conclusion of Luc and Mia’s story it brings everything together, the betrayal and lies went so deep the secrets were bad and it just made me want to start reading it all again, fantastic read, fabulous series. I voluntarily reviewed this book.experience Black Light at it’s best. I can’t get enough of these stories, it’s feast waiting to be devoured, top notch. I voluntarily reviewed this book.
Once again these amazing authors have blown me out of the water! So much kink, so much love and never a dull moment.
I truly love the Black Light Series. This group of talented authors has created a world that I enjoy visiting every time there’s a new one out. On this trip to Black Light, we are treated to 9 stories of couples who are thrown together by the spin of a roulette wheel. In each of these stories, you can feel the club surrounding them. By including similar details in their stories, they are able to weave the scenes together, creating a continuity and a flow. You feel like you are there, suffering and celebrating along with the participants. I must admit, I have read this book several times and I never get tired of it.
Roulette is back with more great stories in the world of Black Light. We get updated on Chase, Emma and Jaxon as well as meeting some great new couples. I can’t decide whose story I like best. Jennifer Bene, Livia Grant and Measha Stone all get high marks but I think my favorite is Shameless by Maren Smith. Beautifully heartbreaking story of survival and redemption.
I read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Drip, drool and repeat!! Holy cow… what an amazing group of writers. I think I panted my way thru this entire book. I was on the edge and OMG I want more…
Another fabulous collection of short but kinky stories from the second year of Valentine Roulette, where pairings and play are made with the spin of the wheel. I love this concept, there wasn’t a story I didnt enjoy, even when some of the kinks weren’t necessarily my thing. They were all intriguing, sexy, steamy and packed with a lot of depth and feeling. A quick summary of each story is below with my ratings for each.
1. Unrestrained – Jennifer Bene (4)
Silas and Bianca. Silas, a hardcore sadist is looking to let loose. Could Bianca be the type of sub who can take what he wants to give? This was heavy on the SM and pain but intriguing and hot in a “I wouldn’t want to try that myself” way!
2. Brat – Livia Grant (4.25)
Connor and Gabriella. Enemies to lovers, these two have history, but finally their mutual secret attraction is exposed with an unusual roll of the wheel.
3. Forced – Renee Rose (4)
Victor and Mariana. Lust at first sight, strong chemistry between Victor and first time sub Mariana who is only there to support her sister, not to submit.
4. Doctored – Sue Lyndon (4.5)
Hunter and Natalie. Older dom, I think medical play would be one of my hard limits, but it was fascinating reading and I loved the sexy Hunter. Natalie was lovely too, has been through a lot, so deserves to be taken care of by her blast from the past dom.
5. Shameless – Maren Smith (5)
Gareth, Hadlee & Noah (not menage)
I loved this story, it was heartbreaking what Hadlee had endured as a pet slave (piggy-girl) and was tormented throughout by her vicious, abusive ex, on what was meant to be a night of letting go and getting her confidence back. Garreth was the perfect dom and protector, a dungeon monitor at Black light. I really liked Noah too, not sure I’d like his whip, but he saw exactly what was going on and adapted to help Hadlee and Garreth. I really want to read the continuation of this with Kitty.
6. Edge – Alta Hensley (4)
Dean and Melinda. Melinda has made some heartbreaking mistakes in her life, the biggest taking her away from her former Dom, Dean. Sweet, sexy second chance story when Dean doesn’t play quite by the rules.
7. Confessions – Measha Stone (4)
Gray and Dani. Friends to lovers, the spin of the roulette wheel finally give this pair a chance after years of keeping their attraction secret. Sweet story, even if canes were involved!
8. Surrender – Maggie Ryan (4.5)
Owen and Marty. Marty is a sub who always tops from the bottom. She’s wanted Owen for a long time, but he’s never noticed her, has he? Shibari master Owen gives her a lesson in submission neither will forget. Oh how I’d love to be knotted up and suspended. Sweet, sexy and hot!
9. Taken – Jane Henry (4.25)
Brayden and Della. Former childhood sweethearts and teenage divorcees, both are surprised to see other again, then shocked when they are paired to play. Anger, regret, sadness all come to front, but will their play heal old wounds or are past hurts too much to bear?
Overall Rating 4.5 hot stars
After last year’s successful Valentine Roulette night this year’s event, Valentine Roulette Redux promises to be even better. The couples elevate their play, there’s some drama and some tension but all in all a great time was enjoyed by all.
Unretrained – Jennifer Bene
A SAM (smart a$$ masochist) makes a real connection with a rough play sadist. It seems the roulette wheel really got it right this time. The question is, will the pairing last beyond the night?
Brat – Livia Grant
She’s about as bratty, sassy and belligerent as they come. He thinks of her as a kid sister of sorts and he’s the administrator of her trust fund. They have to the worst pairing in the history of Valentine Roulette. He’s out to prove that she’s the spoiled brat he’s known since childhood and she’s equally determined to prove that she’s a grown woman. What kink does the wheel give them? Adult Baby Diaper Lover…talk about karmic!
Forced – Renee Rose
What do big sisters do? They show up to a BDSM club to protect their baby sister on Valentine Roulette night. She’s also there to win a bet that she won’t last the night without busting her Dom’s balls. Submissive material she’s not. However, when she’s paired with a bad boy looking Dom, AKA Mr Blackheart. He’s all she’s drawn to and everything she avoids. Victor sees Mariana and for the first time in a year he wants more than to just exert his will over a woman. Fortunately, Lady Luck smiles down on him when they are paired up.
Doctored – Sue Lyndon
She has suffered public humiliation and scandal. Even now, five years later, she still shrinks from any kind of recognition. He was there for her fall though in no way contributory.
