New sizzlin' erotic weekend reads from Ellora's Cave
Just a friendly note: This here post is about erotic romance, so if that kind of thing makes you blush, then this probably isn't for you. Just sayin'.
Looking for some hot erotic romance to read this weekend? You might be interested in checking out some of Ellora's Cave's newer releases (all information provided here is courtesy of the publisher):
Binding Ben, Sierra & VJ Summers (contemporary, BDSM quickie)
With luscious curves and a desire to dominate, Stacey Stanton is a masterful Domina with her own pleasure room at a local club. It took three long years for her to become comfortable in her own skin, let alone with her need to Domme, and her silence cost her the relationship with the man of her dreams.
Ben has always wanted to explore his sexually submissive desires, but feared giving in to his needs and opening himself to the experience. That fearfulness ruined his relationship with Stacey. Now, with nothing left to lose, he's finally ready to man up and explore his submissive self.
When Stacey and Ben meet again in the most unexpected of places, they'll have to decide once and for all if theirs is a love worth fighting for — especially since they're fighting their own fears.
Publisher's Note: This story was previously published elsewhere.
Educating Nadia, Sierra & VJ Summers (contemporary, BDSM quickie)
Nadia Fleming has always had a bit of a "thing" for her neighbor, Alex Johnson, even though she knows they couldn't be more wrong for each other. Alex is a professor of romantic literature at the local college, while Nadia barely completed her GED, for heaven's sake! Resigning herself to remaining just friends doesn't kill her crush, though, and it just gets worse when she inadvertently opens a package of sex toys destined for his address.
Alex is beyond relieved when his secret life as a Dom is exposed to Nadia. He's been lusting after his neighbor and best friend forever, and he knows if she'll just believe in him — and in herself — they could have something really special together. Maybe now, by tying her up, he can release the bonds around her heart and teach her that love isn't always where we expect it.
Publisher's Note: This book was previously published elsewhere under the title The Dom Next Door and has been retitled and revised for Ellora's Cave.

Tami Cassidy has found the man of her dreams. Officer Stone takes his vow to protect and serve seriously. He serves her body in extremely delicious ways that make a girl scream with pleasure.

Feeling secure behind her mask, she decides Vaughn will be the one to ruin her. She may not get to spend forever with this man she still loves, but at least she can have one night of pleasure.
But a mask is not enough to hide her identity. Vaughn recognizes Bea, shocked to find her aboard an airship where sexual freedom isn't just a thought, it's celebrated. But her actions are far from innocent. Captivated, he's determined to make her his.
The heat between them flares, but Vaughn is torn between desire and honor. Bea is afraid to risk her heart on a man she can't trust. And when her future husband arrives on the scene, it's more than their hearts in danger.
Embracing Eternity, Voirey Linger (paranormal short novel)
Book three in the Heavenly Lovers series.
Evangelos has loved Philomela since before time began. He's dreamed of having her in his arms and his bed. But she never once looked his way. Instead, she chose a Fall that transformed her into a monstrous creature. He never forgot the one he loved, and he's determined to bring her back home.
Cut off from the power that fed them, Meela and the other Fallen angels became demons, thriving on vice and preying on Creation. Hell holds too much pain and Meela wants nothing more than to give in to the temptation Evan offers. But a demon has no place in the arms of an angel.
Meela knows Evan's determination to save her will be his downfall, because Lucifer wants to feast on the power of angels, and she's the perfect bait.
Bachelor's Bait, Mari Carr (contemporary, romantic comedy novella)
Sophia Kennedy is determined to chase her own success, rather than ride her father's coattails. She's devoted herself to Books and Brew, the business she owns with her three best friends. She doesn't feel the need to explain herself to anyone, least of all the free-aid lawyer who's determined to judge her as a society princess. She'd ignore him altogether … if it were up to her mind. But nooooo. Her body just has to have its say — and it's using words like "gorgeous," "hot" and "sexy." Soon, annoyance turns to attraction, verbal sparring to physical satisfaction as the couple are drawn together by a common cause.
Marc Garrett has no time for a relationship. And he certainly doesn't want a rich society fixture. The more he gets to know his hardworking princess, the more he wants her, again and again. Marc's falling hard, but after holding Sophie's wealth against her, how will she react when she learns of his own rather prosperous roots?
Dragon Games, Jory Strong (paranormal, shape-shifter novella)
Supernatural Bonds, Book Eight
Though he has no intention of shackling himself to a female, Tielo has devised a poker invitational to bring potential human mates to Drake's Lair for his fellow dragons. Club co-owner Pierce has also set a plan in motion — to see his partner mated. When their two schemes collide in the shape of Lyra, smoke and flame result, literally.
For Lyra, the invitation to an evening of high-stakes poker is the answer to a prayer and her chance to help a family in need. But her confidence wavers upon entering Drake's Lair, where the men role-play as dragons and brazenly display their sensuality.
None are as dangerously distracting as Tielo. The gold-and-silver "dragon" could be her downfall, and not just at the poker table. Because despite his attempts at denial, overwhelming need and lust blast Tielo the instant he meets Lyra. He'll have her beneath him before the night is done, his claim undeniable.
For dragons, mating is no game … and Tielo is playing for keeps.

Instead, he tricks her into giving up her blood, bonding her to him in an effort to compel her support.
Nikki could have told Isaac that bonding himself to a seductress was a foolish move, but he never asked. Now, a powerful lust ties them together, driving them both mad. Isaac is hot, but the desire is a distraction she doesn't need. Nikki wants to free Molly and bring down her father just as much as Isaac, if not more.

When she realizes his father is their landlord, Amanda drafts Charles into helping them, and he willingly complies with the requests of the beauty.
