Sandel
Angus Stewart - 1968
Sandel is an evocative portrait of boarding-school and Oxbridge life and the intense, often romantic friendships that flourish there. It is also a novel of sexual awakening, whose light touch disguises the profound emotions that such friendships generate; the relationship portrayed is partly of equals and partly, as often happens, one where it is the younger partner who decides whether and how it should persist.

When her plan to find some release with her former Master falls through, she’s left searching for an alternative. And finds one that fulfills more than her desire to escape reality for a brief, blissful moment.Chicklet makes her feel more alive than anyone she’s ever known, but nothing about her follows the rules of what Laura is supposed to want. The last time Laura put her heart on the line, she was left broken and alone. A chance at love might rip open old scars. Or give her a safe place to finally let them heal.Warning: Contains sex, a boy toy or two, and scenes of consensual BDSM. Also language. Intended for adult audiences.Author’s note: This is the story of how Chicklet and Laura’s relationship began, which takes place before Game Misconduct (The Dartmouth Cobras #1). There are scenes involving characters from the other books, but it can still be read as a standalone. The hockey is light in this book, but I still consider it a Cobra novella because Chicklet’s earns her place as an honorary member over the years. Any woman who can handle the trouble triplets deserves that at very least! lol

Looking For Mr. Right
Kelly Wallace - 2008
Right is one fun and sexy read! Top that off with a darn good plot that has plenty of fun twists, and a writing style that pulls you right in, and you have a romance story you won't want to end! Well done, Ms. Wallace!" Brandon Right is instantly attracted to Candy, but there's no time for an affair, and he certainly isn't in the market for a wife! Brandon is a stiff and starchy lawyer who must help footloose and carefree Candy Garland find a husband in three weeks or a Beverly Hills mansion and millions of dollars will fall into the hands of a dead man's undeserving family. Candy knows that a passionate lover exists beneath the cool surface of her newly appointed mentor, but doesn't have time to melt the glacier around his heart. Will they relinquish Mason's fortune for a night of wild passion? What sexy mystery lies in the hidden garden? Will Fred be forgiven?**Warning: Contains explicit language and erotic love scenes**What reviewers are saying about Looking For Mr. Right - "Candy is a fun heroine who is not the typical stereotype of a librarian heroine. Instead of being a frigid kook, she's all about grabbing life with both hands and her rather kooky outlook only makes her more adorable. Brandon is the typical lawyer with a wild streak that he hides underneath his well-pressed suits, a fun one that complements Candy very well. Their fling is fun, fast, and fluffy. If Looking For Mr. Right aims to entertain, then I'd say that it has done its job very well indeed." Mrs. Giggles"As the two different worlds are trying to live together, the reader is enjoying every minute of the couple’s misadventures. Looking For Mr. Right exudes enough warmth and charm to be a great, fun read!" Mahaira Fatima - Just Erotic Romance Reviews
