Stripper
The woman he can’t forget…a betrayal that must be forgiven. Duster Jennings loves his job as master-of-arms on Windmere, the only independent planet in the galaxy. Except he has no life. Not since his dream of a large, loving family was ripped to shreds by Diane Black. The woman who abandoned him. Desperate to move on, Duster pays a fortune to board a courtesan ship and hire a “stripper”—a specialist in erasing unwanted memories. Except when he wakes up, his memories are intact, his money is gone…and the woman he vowed to forget is holding him captive. When Diane Black discovers her mysterious client is Duster, she’s overjoyed to learn he’s still alive—and unsure what to do with him now. Seven years ago her mission was to kill him. Instead she fell in love. If the network finds out she let him go, it won’t be just her and Duster’s necks in the noose. Duster’s fury knows no bounds…and damn it, neither does the lust that still burns for her. But when their ship is attacked, survival means trusting each other with their backs—even if they can no longer trust their hearts. Warning: Contains a knife-wielding hero overcoming a crackleseed addiction, a heroine with a secret skill and a more secret past, bitter betrayals, burning lusts, and bulging canvas trousers.
Overlord
His planet is his prison.and only she can set him free. After a year, Michael "Overlord" Parker finally knows who's been pilfering his black market goods. Astonishingly, the elusive Bandit of Taiga isn't a man. It's a woman, an infuriating spitfire who's half in love with Michael's overly romanticized reputation. Remarkably Average Mary exudes an intoxicating scent that Michael can't quite puzzle out, even with his unique ability. As long as she remains bound and blindfolded, he has the advantage-and the bonus of tormenting the bane of his existence. Mary's deceptively innocent face has never failed her. Yet somehow she's at the mercy of a man she knows only as "Commander". His demands are simple. Surrender her methods of banditry, or surrender her body. As his essence invades her intuitive ability-and her remaining senses-she becomes increasingly frantic to escape before she yields all that and more to her compelling captor. Their sensual sparring ignites, and Michael finds himself wanting to erase Overlord's myth from her fantasies in favor of the real man. But first he has to foil the slippery little devil's escape attempts. And find out who's been using her to unknowingly help the empire wipe him off the face of his own planet. Warning: This futuristic medieval contains a planet-owning alpha hero, a feisty heroine who can swear in over thirty languages, a side-kick with a crackleseed addiction, witty repartee, epic space battles, sensual karate, and tight black leather pants.

Genre(s): Romance, Science Fiction
In the beginning of the story Remarkably Average Mary has been captured by a bounty hunter who takes her to a world run by a man who wants her to call him "Commander". She arrives on "Commander's" world bound, gagged, and blinded. When Mary's blindfold comes off she cannot believe she is staring at a man who is seven feet tall and wearing silk. Nobody in her universe can buy silk or leather unless they are ve
Runner
There's always a loophole. Just don't let it close around your neck. Bounty hunter Foster Nash is a ruthless bastard-just ask him. Thanks to an ex-girlfriend who robbed him blind, and another who nearly bit off his trigger finger, he's not too high on women in general right now. Desperate for funds to refill his retirement coffers, he jumps at a very lucrative contract: to bring in the doctor who created the Tyaa plague. Except his voluptuous target doesn't behave like a criminal. Instead of rattling the bars, she accepts her fate with cool, cultured aplomb. Jynx Brennan toiled for three years to save humanity from a disease she's now blamed for creating. Since she refuses to use her psi ability as a weapon, it doesn't help her escape Never-Fail Nash. In a moment of clarity, she decides there's no point in denying herself a last fling with a living, breathing erotic fantasy. After he recovers his surprise, Nash indulges the full depth of his physical needs upon her body-often, and to their mutual pleasure. But when it leads to unexpected emotional intimacy, he finds himself willing to risk everything to break a contract that will force him to deliver her to certain execution. Warning: This futuristic romance contains one bad-ass bounty hunter, a refined lady doctor, a ship with a vile history, a villain with a viler history, and a wide black leather belt, slung low.
Far Too Human
If you build it, love will come.
Jonathan P. Quiverbotton freely admits he is fussy, punctual…and terribly lonely. All his attempts to build a companion have failed miserably. Desperate, he rents a man-of-all-work bot from a local factory, intent on uncovering its secrets.
When the manbot arrives, though, it bears a stunningly familiar face. The face of a notorious con man—with whom Jonathan once had a fleeting assignation.
Marcus isn’t quite certain why this doorstep seems so familiar, but once he lays eyes on Jonathan, memories flood back so strong only one thing matters. To convince Jonathan that he’s a changed man.
Raw sexual passion quickly forges a deep emotional bond, fueled by the knowledge that Marcus must soon return to the factory. Before their time ticks down, another man emerges from Marcus’s murky past, reminding him of his unfulfilled part in a blackmail scheme.
Marcus wants no part of his old life, but refusal not only exposes Jonathan to danger, it puts him at the mercy of those who would use his illegal enhancements at the cost of his humanity.
Warning: Contains one very fussy inventor, a decidedly wicked man-of-all-work bot, clockwork homecare creatures, and blazing hot sex between a man and his mechanical manservant.

Genre(s): GLBTQ, Steampunk, M/M
Far too Human by Anitra Lynn McLeod is a fun, sexy erotic read from start to finish. I enjoyed the interesting world that Ms. McLeod created in this fast paced, steampunk homoerotic story. This is the first book I've read by Ms. McLeod and I definitely won't be my last!
Jonathan Quiverbottom is a very lonely man. Because of his eccentricities, he correctly realizes that he's a difficult man to be around. Jo
Thief
Nothing has ever come easy for Jace Lawless, captain of the salvage vessel Mutiny. Forced into thievery after a virus unleashed by the InnerWorld Government killed his family, only one ambition burns at the back of his mind. Kill the next IWOG officer he has at his mercy. Bargaining over goods with a middleman isn’t exactly his strong suit. But who in his right mind spends an entire salvage job’s profits on a woman, even if she has a body built for sin and eyes so fathomless a man could lose himself in them? He must be getting soft. Once Kraft realizes Jace expects only the “cook” part of their cook-whore contract, she sets out to change his antiquated ideas about women. A challenge she relishes, especially if it earns her the freedom and money to get her own ship. Her big mistake is letting down her guard. Shameless flirting only intensifies the itch to ride Jace hard and put him away wet—several times. It’s an itch it would be dangerous to scratch. Exposing her heart could reveal her secret, one that the still-grieving Jace must never know…or showing her mercy will be the last thing on his mind. Warning: Contains a celibate ship captain who can’t abide swearing, a kick-ass woman with a marshmallow heart, a motley crew of misfits, interstellar battles, thwarted groping, sensual seduction, and a total bastard who owns his own planet.

Genre(s): Western, Romance, Science Fiction
I absolutely adored the meshing of science fiction and western! Even though this was set in space, the roguish cowboy aspect fit perfectly! I love mixing genre's because you never know what will be borne of it! Usually it's something wonderful...
But I had a difficult time liking our heroine, Captain Kraft. I found her to be rather annoying. Instead of being strong and in charge like she was supposed to
Dark Harvest
To be a Harvester is to exist with pain that should be pleasure and desire bound by duty. Until one who can spark a change meets the perfect mate. Now he needs only to convince her - one shattering climax at a time...Rebellion Harvester Sterlave of Gant knows his mission: initiate all the virgins of the season and choose a bondmate from among them. The one he selects is perfect, both physically and politically - she is, after all, the empress' daughter. Kasmiri, however, has other ideas. She wanted to be chosen by Sterlave's best friend, Chur, who instead rebelled by selecting a mere servant girl! Kasmiri knows she now must submit to Sterlave - although she doesn't have to like it...But Kasmiri soon realizes she more than likes Sterlave's sensual attentions.

Sterlave became the new harvester even though he died during his challenge, only to be brought back to life by the gods. Given the duty of “harvesting” all the girls of the land that are of age and choosing a bondmate from among them, he chooses to claim the Empresses daughter Kasmiri as his bondmate. He knows that they are meant to be together if only he can convince her of it.
Wicked Harvest
"Between duty and desire lies a season of pure pleasure... Welcome to the world of the Harvester-a warrior bound to take virginity, but never pleasure-and the servant who exists to prepare him for his role. For them, sex equals duty. Until the rules fall aside...and pleasure takes over... Sweet Release For Chur, a year's preparation comes down to the single day on which he encounters a succession of exquisitely adorned young virgins. One thrust from Chur frees the women to find their perfect mates...yet he is forbidden to enjoy his work. But Chur's third Harvest changes everything, for the final virgin is none other than his paratanist, a loyal servant who reveals herself to be a startlingly sensuous woman. Enovese has desired her master since she first laid hands upon him, but her scheme to free them both is complicated by Chur's prideful resistance. Until the Harvester declares Enovese his bondmate, they must maintain a dangerous charade of master and slave. But Chur is determined that Enovese pay for her deception-with delicious, teasing torture all the more pleasurable for being taboo..."
