do they keep men like this
Now that is what I call creative,
This is actually my least fav of the three stories, but it still pretty much set my clothes on fire I wouldn't have missed it!
For the love of all that is twisted and dirty borrowing Dallon's phrase I so wanted to love Dallon's story.
But he was just too in control of the sex and himself, He needed to lighten up a bit, . This book just didn't do much for me, . . Didn't fancy the cover as well, . I think after the sheer perfection of Simple Need, it would be hard to match it, and I had high hopes for Carnal Ecstasy, the second book in this trilogy.
Dallon, part barowner, parttattooparlourowner and best friend of Vintner and Jaz is not looking for an emotional entanglement, Hes especially not looking for Carrie the complete opposite of his type, Shes a good girl, a well brought up Christian who follows her parents instructions in everything, Until now. Shes rebelling and first on her list of things to try is the gorgeous man that shes just met,
“You dont need to be messing with me, Carrie, You really dont. If ever there was a black sheep, Im it, My reputation is bad, very, very bad, Its best that you go, Now. ”
He wants her wanted her from the moment she stopped him outside to ask for directions but recognizes that she isnt the type for his usual onenight stand.
So he tries to resist her and fails,
FedEx was going to bust through the doors, package him up and send him straight to hell by ten the next morning for asking his next question and already knowing the answer.
“What else do you want”
“You, ”
She worries that shes too innocent,
“Naughty girls are always sexy, but taking a girl like you,” he slid a hand down the lace to cup her pussy through it, “and turning her into a naughty one is even sexier.
”
For the first time ever, Dallon shares his bed with a woman, All night.
She looked adorable and rumpled though, Her skin had that justawakened flush, her eyes were still drowsy and heavy lidded, She was so warm and soft, and he wanted to melt into her at the same time he wanted to kick her out of his bed because she was a threat to everything he knew prior to meeting her.
His onenight stands and easy lays were gonna come to a screeching halt if he didnt get rid of her soon,
So Carrie and Dallon hook up and have some hot sex, Theres a bit of character growth and a nice easy ending, but it didnt grab me, It was just too empty, a bit like a puzzle where you fill in the blanks,
I think it suffered from being so short, that there wasnt time for any character depth, I didnt get why Dallon was such a bad, bad boy, He has tats and piercings, and runs a bar, He didnt come across as anything other than thoughtful and generous and affectionate, Hes polite with her parents, Good with his friends, and loving with Carrie, And why did Carrie suddenly decide to rebel Going from longterm celibacy to instant sexkitten overnight, was a bit of a leap,
On the plus side, Lissa Matthews has a lovely relaxed style of writing, so if youre looking for a quick, hot read, this ticks the boxes.
out of.
Ok I picked this out of curiosity to read it after a friend's review here in GR and I'm halfway through and I'm thinking: is it me or the sex is kind of boring Maybe it's because Carrie is boring 'cause Dallon's ok and kind of hot, in my mind at least he is since Matthews didn't even bother to descibe him so I have no fucking clue what he looks like.
And what's this crap about Carrie never had had tasted any kind of coffee like Latte or Cappucino because it would be a sinful experience! I mean I get that she lived a very sheltered life under the wings of her overprotective, zealous religious family, BUT COME ON!!! Never tasted a cappucino Where did she grew up In an Amish village somewhere out in the woods
Just finished!!! Well my impression remains the same! A tad boring, which can't be good since this is an erotica novella!!
p.
s. : On a shallow note, that is one hell of a hideous cover!! Whoever chose it in the marketing department has no sense of taste in covers and men! I wasnt expecting to love this book.
I have read a Lissa Matthews story before and it didnt sit well with me, It wasnt badly written, I just didnt like the characters and their extreme lack of inhibitions, But I am the first to state I am a moody bee with an itch when it comes to erotica, I need to be in the right naughty and dirty frame of mind,
Anyway, enough rambling,
I liked Carnal Ecstasy, I was definitely in the right mood for something dirty, and dirty is definitely what it was,
I will never, ever look at a beer bottle or pool cue the same way again, EVER.
The story was very masculine, A lot of male perspective and Dallon wasmacho male, If you are looking for a soft and sweet, pretty boy, who is willing to wait for you to grow into your sexuality this is definitely not the book for you.
However, if you like a confident, tattooed up, beast of a man that will push every one of your boundaries in the name of desire, then this may just be the book for you.
Side note if youre not a fan of foreign objects being placed into the temple of delight I would suggest hop, skipping and jumping away from this one.
This was a really sweet story, and steamy too!! It just didn't grab me the same way Vinter and Jaz did!!! I have never, in my entire life, thought that a beer bottle could be used in such a way.
. . huh.
One thing I can say about this man is: he's damn creative, Holly Moly, if you want to read this book, know that you will need new panties ASAP,
Just like the first book of the series, this was a VERY short story, What's interesting in this one is that the main female character NEVER narrates the story, Which is great, from my point of view, in this case,
The main male character is aalphamalebadboyhottie, And the main female character is a christian girl that wants to be bad very,very bad, if you know what I mean, The unfortunately named Dallon in this second of the Simple Needs series is naughty, filthy, and hot, He encounters Carrie while she is looking for her new job, He gives her directions as well as the location of the bar he coowns, Little Miss Innocent Carrie is tired of living the life her ultra religious parents have laid out for her and decides she wants to take a chance and see if Dallon is willing to show her how to be a naughty girl.
I'll take this opportunity to say that he also taught me some things as well,
I love Dallon, He is dirty, sexy, honest, but also a gentle alpha, Carrie was a bit coquettish for me but I still liked her, This is a hot one folks, be ready to blush as much as Carrie did! Steamy short story by Lissa Mathews,
Bartender and coowner, Dallon helps Carrie break out of her protective shell by showing her the ropes,
How you ask
By showing her proper usage of “bar objects” such as barstool, pool table, que sticks and the unforgettable beer bottle.
He is very creative.
Dallon is bar coowner with Vinter who I love and Jaz the next book, Note, that these men once shared not only the bar ownership but shared partners in bed, Totally BAD boys. Fun books to read.
Thanks Annie, As I will never drink beer without thinking of Dallon!!! Okay, . . It's supposed to be/stars, not quite, . . I liked it better than Simple Needs, Can't wait to start reading up about Jaz! stars
The believability here is a hard zero, but that didn't stop me from liking this book for what it was.
Do I wish there were more to the characters Yeah, But all in all I enjoyed it, For those of you that know me and those that don't this is my little statement about short books, I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that short stories, So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer.
. . but it is a short story, So with that said . here is my review
This is definitely a book that will get you blood boiling the minute you start reading it, From the first to the last page, you will squirm,
you will sweat, you will beg, you will be puddy in Dallon's hand, Which might not be a bad thing, Ms. Lissa will make you look at household items in a completely different light, Intrigued yet
The title suits this story to a freaking tee, When you think of carnal, what do you think of All things naughty, all things, . . sexual. And when you think of ecstasy, . . Oh I saw a glitter light up in those eyes and a blush creep to your checks, Oh yeah, when you think of that word, your mind goes into over drive, Coupled with naughty, sexual and ecstasy, that about wraps up this story, Ms. Lissa gives us two characters who will make your fingers burn to the last page to find out what happens to them, You immediately see the sparks fly, the hardons happen and you will hear, . . Oh wait you must read the story to know about those parts, And believe me, Ms. Lissa was not shy about what she gave you in this story,
Now with this story, I have to say that one thing struck a cord with me and that was Carrie was kinda too innocent for a thirty year woman.
Carrie lived a very sheltered life with her very strict and religious parents, But then I sat and thought about people I actually know, Families I know, have seen on tv or have heard about, I mean, I do not put anything past anyone these days, So, she is a believable character, but her innocence was a little worrisome for me, Hell, I wanted to take her myself and kinda protect her, At the same time wanted to hold her hand and give her the best damn experiences I could, So, I know where Dallon was coming from when he discovered the hidden treasures locked within Carrie, And believe me, Dallon teaches Carrie some new array of tricks, Some readers might not like his ideas of what turns him on, . . but you have to admit that that is a man, Some men don't think conventional toys are good enough, He is a walking hardon who thinks about having sex, or at least getting a blow job every chance he can, Blushing or giggling, I will take that to mean you are thinking of the men you know right now and Dallon is one of those men you will want to know.
This story is truly a hot read, I read it in one night and had to take a cold shower after, Okay maybe I was not alone, Dallon was there, LMBO!!! Okay okay, in my dreams maybe, But believe me after you read this story, you will want to visit this bar! Hell, I want to move to where this bar is located at.
. . I mean the bar is owned by three, not one not two three hellva walking, talking, sexy as men!!! Dallon finds Carrie and together they discover all things in Carnal Ecstasy! So, . . go find out what Ecstasy they engage in!!! Have a fan handy! Vegetables as sex toys Nah, that is so passé, Beer bottles and pool cues are the hit of the moment, according to Dallon, Yikes!
The happy recipient of Dallon's creative sex plays is Carrie, ayearold woman who's finally! gotten tired of living a sheltered life under the influence of her parents and is ready to break loose.
Who's better than Dallon, a tattooed bar owner who once lived in the same lifestyle, to help her find her naughty and wild side
As you may have guessed by the first paragraph above, Dallon and Carrie's affair was very, er, interesting.
Dallon's imagination had no limits and Carrie was more than willing to play along with him, I have to say that I was a bit uncomfortable with some of their sexcapades, though, While Dallon was careful enough to use protection at least, the first times and clean the beer bottle before using it on Carrie, he didn't show the same concern when it came to the pool cue.
I couldn't help thinking how many people had handled that pool cue before, Germophobic much, Dina
I guess I paid too much attention to those details because I wasn't completely sold on Dallon and Carrie, Dallon was okay, but Carrie was annoying in her inconsistent innocence and bravado, I had a hard time believing that she'd been "brave" enough to lose her virginity, spend the night with boys and even experiment with kissing girls all that without her parents' knowledge, of course but had never had the courage to drink a latte or a cappuccino.
Did she really think those drinks were more sinful than sex!
All things considered, this was still an okay read, I liked Dallon and the sex scenes sans pool cue were steamy hot, I didn't think Dallon and Carrie were "soulmates", though,
And just because I have to, here's something to erase the fugly cover from our minds:
NSFW
How do you like "my" Dallon I asked him to remove the guitar from his lap so I could take a better shot, but he said it's part of him after all, he's the guitar player in the band.
All I can say is OH MY SHTNESS BATMAN! Good Lord, Carnal Ecstasy is HOT! When Dallon sets his eyes on sweet Carrie, he finds that he cant stop thinking about her,
The two have never been more different, Dallon is a sexy bad boy bartender and Carrie is a sweet and naive woman who has lived a sheltered life, But when Carrie quits her job and comes to the bar seeking Dallon out, Dallon cant fight the temptation of turning this sweet girl into something naughty.
When Carrie tries to break out of her sheltered dome and find herself, Dallon is right there beside her every step of the way ,teaching her things she wouldnt have learned on her own.
Be warned, readers, What Dallon does with common objects in this one is definitely illegal!! Sexual appeal that potent is a crime! But I guess, rules are meant to be broken, right
I cant wait to read about Jax next!
