[REVIEW: CHINESE BL NOVEL] Hua Hua You Long [花花遊龍] by Xing Bao Ni [星寶兒]

Sadistic lover. A devil with the face of an angel. A twisted romance of brutal and dysfunctional relationship. Be ready for multiple stab wounds on your poor heart. 

This book left a bitter aftertaste. Yet I am appreciative of the author's skill at manipulating the fragile human heart. I am also grateful for the author's effort to keep the story real. So real, it left an indelible mark on my mind. To me this meant the author is successful in his/her work since their main aim should be to grasp the reader's mind and mold it to their own desired shape. A book that is able to control the psyche of its reader is a winner. That's how I see it. And this book had subjected me to various onslaught of intense emotions of amusement, joy, fear, anger, sadness, disgust, frustration, anticipation, surprise, expectation and last but not least love. Yes, love even-though this is a very brutal romance story which I had nearly lost hope of finding a flicker of romance within its pages. Some might reject the ideal of romance in this story due to Jing's (seme/antagonist) violent and selfish way of pursuing love and also Lu Cang's (uke/protagonist) seemingly masochist acceptance of abuse from his lover. To be fair, I too could not exactly shake off the possibility of Stockholm Syndrome in play as I did find it hard to see how Lu Cang as broken as a battered rag doll could ever find in his heart to forgive Jing's incessant cruelty upon this mind and body. Nevertheless how ever twisted their love is, love is still the catalyst of their tragedious joining. Sigh such highly dysfunctional relationship this pair has. I am still worried for Lu Cang's future even upon finishing the book. Afterall, to serve the king is like accompanying a tiger. (famous Chinese proverb). 

The version I read was in Chinese Text via TTS (text-to-speech). If you are interested, you could try the fan translations in English here: [Click Me]. I am not sure how the translation fairs but I do believe the real thing is surely better than a translated copy. For the record, I have read the manga adaptation up to volume no. 5 and am keen on reading its next installment. The artwork is not bad and so far the story sticks with the original novel.

[REVIEW] Surprises (The Administration, #2.4) by Manna Francis

Surprises by Manna Francis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Recommended for: those who enjoys slow-burn romances

Read from January 01 to 16, 2014 — I own a copy, read count: 1

After six hours of foreplay with an interrupted fuck and minutes of adolescent groping, both Toreth and Warrick has finally moved their relationship from occasional fuck-buddy to something a little more solid. Although the hypocritical bad boy Toreth is still far from settling down with a singular person, at least now with Warrick's careful calculated nudges, they are heading towards a true relationship.

I love how Warrick's casual words could make Toreth all fired up...

Toreth: "How do you feel about mayonnaise?"

Warrick: "Absolutely not. I am not spending the rest of the evening smelling of egg."

Toreth: "You can always have a wash."

Warrick: "True, but that removes half the attraction of the idea."

Toreth: "Which is?"

Warrick: "The prospect of walking around with you afterwards, knowing that you've fucked me. That you've come inside me. Feeling taken." He shrugged, managing to sound almost matter-of-fact.

(...) Toreth swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry.

Also love how Toreth plays with Warrick's kink on being bound while he was roughly taken. That guy knows how to turn up the heat where Warrick's concern. Warrick was an excitable quivering mess whenever Toreth mentally and physically tops him.

This unlikely pair sure have the longest slow burn romance going-on. I am getting anxious to hear the word 'exclusive' by now.

[REVIEW] To Dragons Bound (To Dragons Bound, #1-5) by Clara Bright

To Dragons Bound by Clara Bright
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Buddy Read: MLE, Elspeth, Vivian Archer on December 10th, 2013

Read from December 10 to 12, 2013 — I own a copy, read count: 1

I struggled with this book. Tried as I might to ignore the unpolished writings, I couldn't get pass the jarring texts to immerse myself into the story. I was regularly jolted out of the story by the weak composition, odd word choice, redundant conjunctives and excessive adverbs.

The out-of-the-norm passivity of the protagonist was not helping to endear him to me either. Throughout the story Alim had only shown token resentment towards the dragon lord for the unfair treatment of him and his family. His show of indignation felt rather perfunctory. Moreover, how could he not worry for his elderly grandfather who was left to fend for himself now that he has also lost Alim to their tyrannic ruler?

Sadly, the rest of the characters are also one-dimensional hence I couldn't find any worthy ones to vouch for. I didn't even feel hate or disgust for the villains either nor do I find them interesting. Another thing to note is that the mpreg side of the story was mostly glossed over. Bummer.

The book primarily focus on the sex-tango between Alim and his mate, Prince Erol plus Alim and Prince Aras the jealous royal brother. Consequently, sex is plentiful in this book and the author has been creative with it. I liked the different settings for the debaucheries and also the beastly sex. Yet once again, it could have been good if the writings works the way it should. Sorry, I am beginning to sound like a broken record here.

The premise itself was quite a promising one it's the execution that failed due to inexperience writing. With more experience and getting better help on proofreading and editing, this could have rocked my world and I am sure it would hit the spot with other readers too.

I have to blamed it on my recent rotten luck with books because this month alone I have bought not one BUT two poorly written book that needs serious editing AND both are ridiculously priced.

I have always been willing to try out new indie authors as I am quite an adventurous risk taker in terms of reading. I guess, I can't be hitting the jackpot always. Seems like I should go do some serious ass-kissing for the book-leprechauns to get back in their good graces again.

Lastly, I have developed deep feelings for this picture after reading the book.

It made me empathize with Alim's predicament.

Description:
The weather was good the day they came for him. At least there was that. Alim could savor the sun on his back while he tended the garden behind his grandfather's house, his mind far from the craggy mountain at the distant western edge of the plain. The mountain loomed over and, by way of its multitudinous mine shafts, lurked under the entire island. The stone tower and its tyrant master lurked also in the minds of the islanders, forever in the very back of their minds as a vague but certain threat. In early spring, just after last frost, the threat came to the forefront of their minds.

But that time was past now; summer sun peered through the wispy clouds and warmed the breezes of late spring. Young, green leaves poked above the tilled earth in defiance of oppression. The island, and Alim with it, was at ease.
---
Alim's easy life is doomed to end one sunny day when the lord of his island, a fearsome dragon who enslaves his people to toil under the mountain, sends a raiding party to steal him away. Him, and only him. To Alim's shock and disgust, he discovers he's been torn from his family to serve as consort to the lord's heir, the haughty and demanding Erol, who presents the appearance not of a dragon but of a statuesque young man. Worse, he's expected to become the vessel for Erol's child, and Erol's equally possessive brother is chomping at the bit to seed him first and claim their father's throne.

[REVIEW] Crazy by Cari Waites

Crazy by Cari Waites
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Recommended by: ARC extended to me by the author

Recommended for: True Dark Erotica fans

Read from November 17 to 18, 2013 — I own a copy

Braingasmic 5 Stars!

Braingasm feels so divine. It's SO gud, I shivers with delight.



The story leads you into a dreamscape of an unstable mind, you will never really know which is real and which is just a figment of a confounded mind.

The author has the ability to draw her readers into her character's surrounding and make them feel what they felt. Her words are focused and never excessive, just the right amount to nudge us along.

I could really feel the sense of angst and powerlessness displayed by Drew the protagonist, it gave me such thrills and lovely goosebumps. Makes my heart squeeze with just the right amount of empathy not interfering with my deviant side wishing for more distressing situations for Drew.

If rape and suicide is a trigger for you, be forewarned then. The suicide attempt scene was almost poetic the way it was presented. On the other hand, the rape scene was quite intense and real. Made me wanted to gouge the perpetrator's eyes out, step on it, squish it to pulp.

In short, this book is DEFINITELY for me. Half the time while reading it, I was fretting over when that kinky straitjacket on that cover is going to ever come into play or will it not be at all? Gasp, I would have been devastated if the latter was the case. You see, I have an obsession with bondage, the stricter it is the better it was for me. I was saved from my impending depression when Ms. Waites delivers a highly stimulating straitjacket bondage sex scene combine with a sling harness to boot! Oh, how I love her.

So okay with the kinky stuff, the next point which appeals to me was the Asylum/Mental hospital setting which incidentally was another fascination of mine too.

Hence, how could I not love this book? It has such an appealing and potent combination with just the right formulation for me:

[Asylum] + [Straitjacket] + [Drugging] + [Noncon/Dubcon] + [Sinister Doctor] = Lovely amount of Angst and Powerlessness
- End Result: a one way ticket to Cloud9 forever

Actually, what further cemented a 5 stars rating was the ending. It was non-stereotypical as it dares to be different yet staying true to the story and its theme.

Ms. Waites has once again delivered another memorable piece of dark erotica. Her previous work, Gamble Everything was also a fine example of quality dark erotica. To me, Ms. Waites has successfully captured the essence of dark erotica; It's arousing yet so wrong on many levels.

It is rare to find good dark erotica that stays true to its theme. Most would just plaster on a HEA/HFN no matter how unnatural it was for the story and worst off, some turned downright fluffy at the end! There are also those with the misconception that being dark and erotic means torture porn all the way. I find it hard to be aroused when the other party isn't the least bit enjoying it that's why I find forced seduction to be the best balance.

If you love dark, all-shades-of-wrong kind of noncon cum borderline dubcon stories, this is for you.

They said I was crazy. I said they were crazy. They outvoted me.

Drew thinks he isn't crazy just outvoted by those around him even his own parents. I'll let you be the judge of it.

So gonna eat this up and savor every moment of it.

This is going to be a good kinky ride. The ultimate fantasy comes true.

I hope for ample restrains in this book - the naughty kinds. Already loving that straitjacket on the cover.

Since loved this author's first work, Gamble Everything to bits. I am pretty sure this one would go on my favorites shelf as well given that I really like her writing style.

[REVIEW] Luke's Brutal Abduction (The Whole Story) by Brad Vance

Luke's Brutal Abduction - The Whole Story by Brad Vance

My rating: 3.8 of 5 stars

Recommended by: Vivian Archer

Recommended for: Hardcore BDSM aficionados

Read from November 10 to 14, 2013 — I own a copy (Got it free on 25-Oct-2013 from Smashwords with promo coupon)

3.8 Stars. Love the Rawness, the Wildness and all that Rough Manhandling.

I find the total power exchange between Luke and Slader very arousing. Luke's total devotion and surrender to his master was what makes all those hardcore BDSM sessions between them so hot. Luke Mitchum worship Slader Jacobs like a god. He would lick the ground Slader walks on if that the only thing that would get his master's attention.

Subconsciously, Luke has been seeking for someone worthy of his trust, someone whom he could respect and let himself go completely. Slader, a no-nonsense ex-Marine was the only master Luke would and could surrender himself completely.

[ "This whole slave thing was not natural to him; he knew guys who’d get down on the ground and slobber for anyone in a bar who called himself a “master,” but not Luke, no way. It took someone of Slader’s magnitude – his handsome face, his chiseled bod, his overall badassery, to force, yes, force Luke to become someone else if he wanted to have more of Slader. ]

I like that Luke is not a wimpy sub, knows what he wants and would go all out to get it.
[ Since that night he’d learned what intimacy could be, what heights of physical intensity he could reach with a single man, if that man was dedicated to the craft of sex, the art of sadism, and Luke was his sole canvas. ]
Needless to say, Slader is exactly the type of master to fulfill Luke's fantasy to be used and abused hard.

It was a delight to watch Luke's pursue of Slader and his sweet surrender at the domineering hands of his badass master. Me thinks, Super Masochist Luke and Baddass PainGyver Slader is a match made in heaven. They are truly an unconventional couple. Truthfully, I was rather surprised to find romance in it and finding it kind of sweet too.

I liked this quote very much but it is a tad spoilerish:

Spoiler:

[ It was a chain. A slender, silver chain, but a chain nonetheless. Slader’s eyes drilled his. “You put this on, you’re committing to more than just a fling in my basement. You put this on, and you’re mine. Maybe I don’t call you for weeks. Maybe I make you service my crew again. Maybe I cut that boot up and serve it to you. Maybe I take you to Folsom Street Fair and make you my bitch in front of God and everyone. But…” he held up a hand. “But I also take care of you. I make you cum. I don’t touch another man, and neither do you, unless I make you.” He flushed. “I don’t know about this love shit. But this is what I can offer now. Me. Take me or leave me, as I am.” ]

I love every session these two had together. And there's never a dull moment in this book. It was a very engrossing read indeed. The author is good at building up tension and getting his reader's adrenaline pumping; that kidnap scene really excites me much and then there's the much sought after subsequent gangbanging episode which Luke was totally drooling over. Lol. Besides that, the good characterization is also commendable as they are very realistic to me.

This book oozes masculinity and I find that a refreshing change from the usual fare. What I didn't like much was the fluid exchange kink - ewwwweee.... so not my thing although I am fine with the Golden Showers.

I think those who read this story by installments might miss the slow burn romance these two characters had as it was rather subtle. Therefore it is best to read the bundled version instead. Oh, and don't let that jarring title stop you from reading this. The title might sound harsh but it is all consensual play here; Kinky randy men playing with each other and having a blast.

As a side note, this book reminds me much of Master's Dungeon by Alex Morgan as the submissive protagonist in it was somewhat similar to Luke when it comes to the level of submission and devotion to his master. The masters in both stories are harsh and badass. However, Master's Dungeon is definitely on the extreme end - click here to know what I mean about that book.

[REVIEW] Cruel to be Kind: Novel by Kichiku Neko

Cruel to be Kind: Novel by Kichiku Neko
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Recommended by: I just love anything everything from Guilt|Pleasure. They produces amazing books.
Recommended for: those who enjoy mind-games couple with high sexual tension with dangerous conspiracy.
Read from June 14 to 18, 2013 — I own a copy, read count: 1



4.6 dazzling stars for the steamy sexual tension and well played mind games. Of course that's shared by its nosebleed worthy illustrations.

What a tangled web it was. The plot is sure thick in this one - the twists and turns would leave you spinning. So, rest assured that this story would keep you on your toes and anxiously guessing away.

The MC, Kaguya is such an enigma and he is definitely not just a pretty face. Sakiyama has certainly misjudged his own capability of owning such an exotic pet. Let's just say, he is a victim of his own vanity and lust.

“He was never harmless,” Sakiyama said. “And that is why I like playing with him.”

“I am not certain if you’re cruel or foolish to do that.”

Sakiyama laughed. “Don’t spoil my fun, Shohei. I’ve not had a pet since I was a boy

“This pet destroyed a multi-billion dollar corporation. Hardly a chewed slipper.”

“Makes him even more exciting to own, no?”

Just deserts can never be better than served cold.

If you are looking for romance, this isn't really for you. Also, most of the sex scenes are raw and rough but fiery hot and sensual even-though pain is ever-present. If you are a romantic and only into fluffy sweet gentle lovemaking, please do not pick this up and ruin the rating. LOL :P

What I love most is the sexual tension vibrating from both the main characters, it was almost tangible. It makes me shudder at times and I like that feeling.

I would highly recommend this to those who likes mind-games or some good mindfucking with high sexual tension wrapped in dangerous conspiracy. I have a feeling that those who love Mind Fuck by Manna Francis would enjoy this one just as much.

I am so adding this to my 'dark-fics' and 'mind-games/mindfuck' shelves.


FRIENDLY ADVICE :
Just wanna drop a piece of friendly advice to would-be-readers of this novel.

Please try to read this story undisturbed in one sitting. It's relatively short and easy for you to manage that.

I am saying this because, I have spread my reading into several days with a long interval in between due to real life bitching on me and all that. When I continued the reading, I got confused by some of the events in the book and that had affected my overall reading experience.

It is wise that you just let the steam builds and maintain it till it reaches its peak for best effect.


WHERE TO PURCHASE :
I got an ebook of it from Kobobooks.com at a 30% discount during their promo at the time of purchase: http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Cruel-...

[REVIEW] The Prisoner by Kol Anderson

The Prisoner (Broken, #1) by Kol Anderson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Recommended by: ARC

Recommended for: those who fancy noncon dark story.

Read from June 11 to 12, 2013 — I own a copy, read count: 1

3.7 stars for now due to some niggling aspect I can't shake off or really pin-point. Maybe blame it on reading this one right after a super dark read, The Darkest Prison which was unquestionably disturbing. So much so that it makes reading this one much milder. I am not saying that this isn't good enough. It was just my mindset at that point of time. Come to think of it, I did jump from one bleak prison scene to another one just as bleak. Lol. :P

Aaron Taylor is a highly sought after escort although he has just started six months ago. He has just turned twenty-one and was ecstatic to have found mutual love with a client, Sebastian Summers. Unfortunately, Sebastian came with excess baggage in the form of a long-term-partner of 7 years of which Sebastian is having a tough time leaving him behind for Aaron.

Vincent Greene's sudden appearance into Aaron's life literally turn his world upside-down. The abrupt twist of event, lead Aaron into an unknown hell on earth he did not once thought was possible. Not in a million years would he thought of himself as an 'abductor's dream' his sadistic kidnapper had claimed him to be. Yet, deep down inside he cannot help but to despair as he knew he really had no one.

Little did he know that he did have someone who cares enough and determined enough to find out the truth behind his disappearance.

I've finished it today and here's a glimpse of what it brought to the table...

- Kidnapping - very forceful. Not the hit you behind the head kind.

- Drugging / Forced Drug Addiction

- Dominance & Submission

- Sex Slave Training - brutal rapes and beatings apart from drugging

- Rapes / Gang-bang - brutal

- Whipping / Belting - no subspace but scream your head off kind

- Captivity / Confinement - very restricted freedom

- Human Trafficking

- Crime Org / Mafia

- Crime Investigation - I am expecting more of this in the next book. In this book, it was only glossed over.

- Infidelity / Unfaithfulness

- Long term same-sex couple - falling out / crisis

- Betrayal

- Delusional character - he is kind of sadistic and not so right up there. And he gets excited hearing his sex partner screams in pain.

- Bondage / Restraints

This is definitely, not PWP. And I want to know what's going to happen next after finishing it. It's a dark-read and quite realistically written.

See, even the book cover and poster promises a dark story behind it:
