I was sucked right in to Ann Mayburn's book Blushing Violet and it held my attention to the end the characters were likeable and I wanted that happy ending for Voilet and her two masters.
If the book would have had a prologue it would have been astar rating, Ok, I know this is just a story but it was too unrealistic even for me, however, that being said, it was a nice little story,
Violet was sweet and Carlos and Morgan were hot, It was just hard for me to get past a few things,
. Carlos and Morgan fell in love with her at first sight by seeing her picture on a literary dating site,
. They all had joined a LITERARY dating site looking for someone into BDSM,
. Shy Violet joined in Carlos and Morgan's BDSM play after being with them on a blind FIRST date,
. After years of verbal abuse from her mother and sister, all of a sudden they love Violet and are kind,
I like the way Ann Mayburn writes, She has a way of making you feel you stepped into a conversation, Her characters are so easy to get to know,
This book is a story of a woman who didn't know her self worth and two men who did at first glance,
I loved reading how they built her up and how easily she let them show her whoshe was under all her insecurities, I wish the story was longer, i Insecure, full figured heroine finds not just one handsome Dom but, . . Yes I'm jealous!
Decription:
Shy and quirky Violet Bishop has finally found the perfect way to meet a man who could fulfill her hidden submissive desires, something that she has never dared to ask her conservative and uptight exboyfriends to do.
She joins an online matchmaking site that puts couples together based on the books that they love, in this case the BDSM erotica that lines her bookshelves.
Two Dominant best friends and business partners, Carlos Romano and Morgan Kane, are matched with Violet, They both want to date her and rather than fight about it they decide to keep the fact that they know each other away from her and let her pick who she wants to be with.
A good idea in theory but something that become impossible as they both fall in love with Violet and wish to make her their own,
Carlos and Morgan work on building up Violets almost nonexistent selfesteem and help her find an inner strength she never knew she had, along with an almost bottomless craving for their dominant touch.
When Violet discovers they have been lying to her, the men realize that they have made her strong enough to leave them, and they have to find a way to win their perfect woman back, no matter what
My Thoughts:
What a sweet bdsm sorta based love story.
Everything happens very quickly in the book as it was onlypages long and in dealing with BDSM I have a couple issues with that, . and I will touch on them in a minute, Violet is a great underdog heroine, sizelike that is fat, . I think NOT, shy, self conscious who has been mentally abused by her family and ex boyfriends for years, Carlos and Morgan are toooo die for Dominate alpha males, . . everything you could want in a man, wealth, looks, sweet personalities, The love story was terrific in an innocent kinda of way, My issues are since when does this type of male look for submissive on a literary online dating service, . this stretched my imagination some what, Since when does a Dom jump right into playing outside a BDSM club with someone they are not sure is even interested in RL playing, To top it off how can a Dom ask a sub within hours of meeting if she trusts him enough to "play", I understand that stuff had to happen quickly, . but a bit of lead up would have been good, . . Perhaps phone conversations or something to that effect so a bit more trust could be have been developed before they got down to "business",
I know I cut this book up quite a bit but I do have to say I loved it, . . it really appealed to the romantic in me, . and after I turned off my reality switch, . . I was hooked. I recommend this read for anyone who likes light bdsm and gorgeous men and hawt, steamy sex scenes, did I mention the hawt, steamy sex scenes, . .
I gave it a softbased on the way I felt after reading it, . all mush inside and wishing I was a Blushing Violet:
I really enjoyed this book! I loved the characters and the premise and the way the story progressed.
Even the secondary characters I loved and it made me wish there was a sequel that could explore some of the secondary characters! Where are men like this Only in Ms.
Mayburn's imagination, I think sadly, On the one hand, what they did, keeping their association a secret from Violet, was a little underhanded, they didn't do it with nefarious intentions, When they started, who would have known she'd bloom with both of them Or that they'd both grow to care for her equally Or that she'd return their feelings to both of them But I loved that they wouldn't let Violet hide in her clothes anymore.
I loved that they put her on a pedestal and that they never made a big deal of her going out with more than one man,
I was happy to see how much Violet grew personally as a result of her relationships with Carlos and Morgan, I loved how they helped her to feel stronger, walk taller, feel more confident, I absolutely loved when she clocked the bitch at work, I was surprised at how the secret was revealed, and my heart broke for all three of them, Because Violet's heart was breaking for one reason, but I knew she was so very wrong in what she thought, And the boys' hearts were breaking for an entirely different reason,
And I thought their apology was an awesome gesture, I'm glad she heard them out and it ended in an HEA, Very sweet, very sexy. I think this book was really well written, I know forpages some of it had to move fast but if you don't think about it I loved it, I couldn't stop reading it once I started, I really liked it!! Curvaceous Violet Bishop is tired of being alone, so decides to join a dating site that bases the match by the books they read.
Violet is paired with not one, but two men both of whom are dominant and making it difficult to choose between the two,
Carlos Romano and Morgan Kane are best friends, both wanted to find a woman who has the same sexual interests and wants to be cherished, willing to try a new dating site they are thrilled with the outcome.
The only problem, the woman they are matched with is the same, Carlos and Morgan decide to both date her and let her ultimately decide who she wants, Easier said than done, Violet wants them both and Carlos and Morgan are not opposed to the idea, however they forgot to mention one important detail to Violet when they started dating her, they know each other.
Full review on Sensual Reads,
sitelink com/p I got this book in a anthology a long time ago and I finally got around to reading it, I loved this book. It is a quick and easy read, I would have like to have seen more of the threesome, This one is well written, I encourage everyone to get this book, sitelink
You would need a popsicle stick to help your dick stay up if you didnt take Viagra, Im paraphrasing what shy Violet yells at her exboyfriend, With funny lines like this, how can I not enjoy this fun read Carrot top Violet is a size sixteen woman who needs a man, Low self esteem from her familys constant put downs, Violet is pathetic, I feel nothing but pity for this downtrodden gal with split pea soup coloured eyes, Despondent, she signs up to an online dating club who matches people by the
books they read, Yes, I know what you are thinking, Matching by the books the person reads, this could be dangerous, The first thought that went through my head was, what kind of kinky sadistic bastard would I be matched up to in this dating service The second thought was, wait, men dont read.
Id be matched up to some kinky sadistic Domme interesting,
Violet tries this as her last hope to meet a man, To her shock and surprise, she is matched up with two men, Friends and business partners, Carlos and Morgan, share the same taste in women, Not surprisingly, they both want Violet, They both decide to date her without tell her they know each other, I know from experience, this does not bode well, The plus side when Violet is pulled into a sexual frenzy, our shy Violet metamorphosizes into a sensual curvaceous red headed vixen with jade green eyes, Violet made the story for me her feelings and how she responded, Carlos and Morgan became mere eye candy still delicious rich treats,
This is what I call an excellent erotic journey, Ms. Mayburn shows how Violet grows into this sexy kitty that learns to stand up for herself and believes in her own value, The sex scenes in this story are smexy and SugarKink sweet, I licked up every tasty scene, A nice added touch is Violets family history becomes completely rewritten as new information unfolded and is shared with her,
A romance story isnt any good if there isnt conflict, Ms. Mayburn sets up this story so well with a very plausible conflict, I felt bad for all parties, What is it that they say The road to hell is paved with good intentions, Carlos and Morgan pulled a fast one on Violet and they all burned, Still, we do receive our happily ever after because this is a Ms, Mayburn story. No one is left unsatisfied, The resolution to the conflict was moving and so sweet, I highly recommend this story to SugarKink lovers who want to see an ugly duckling grow into a swan,
New wonderful author
I love this book, . the story line two hot men falling for the same bbw, Her finding her worth in her self, Wendy getting her nose punched highlight of that scene! Right up to the breath taking photos of Violets world! Ann Mayburn must be psychic because she has pulled one of my top fantasies straight out of my head and written it practically perfectly for me and I loved it!
Violet is a lovely and sweet character and I felt completely connected to her.
She reacted in ways that I could imagine myself doing,
Carlos and Morgan are just panty meltingly sexy and I'd like to put in an order for one of each, please!!
I loved the characters, loved the development of the story and the sex scenes were fabulous and HOT!
I did have a couple of teenytiny reservations about this book, but they are just a reflection of my own personal tastes and didn't really effect my enjoyment of the story, hence thestar rating.
I didn't really like where Violet finally gave Wendy what was coming to her, She obviously did deserve to be put in her place, but it was a little over the top for my taste, Also, the fundraiser at the end was a little cheesy and the final makeupsex scene felt a bit rushed, But, as I say, these are very small issues that probably would not bother other readers, I was just greedy for more Carlos and Morgan!! To be honest, I didn't think much of this book, It just didn't click for me,
Maybe too romantic
It switched point of views in the characters, .
