four angels from Fallen Angel Reviews right off the bat.

 4.5 Divas for Diablo's 'Carnal Cravings.'

4.5 DIVAS For CARNAL CRAVINGS by Keta Diablo
 
Carnal Cravings
by Keta Diablo
Publisher: Dark Roast Press
 Genre: Historical, BDSM, GLBT, M/M
BUY HERE: DARK ROAST PRESS,
 http://www.darkroastpress.com 

 Summary:

Craven and his friend Anthony discover they're in over their heads the night they're caught spying on Beresford Hall. But when Craven meets the dark, mysterious Dominic Beresford, he wonders if fate really does step in and take you by surprise when you least expect.

My Review:

Carnal Cravings may be a short novella, but it had my heart pounding more than one time, and for completely different reasons. This book has a touch of suspense, a few horrible memories from Craven, and several very hot sex scenes between sexy men. What more could you ask for?
 
Despite the short length of the book, I was drawn in and held captive by the mysterious Dominic and the sweet, young Craven. This book moves along at a very fast pace, keeping you on the edge of your seat, panting for more. The only thing I can think of that would make this book better would have been use of lubrication and more length to the story.
 
Carnal Cravings is a great, quick read to heat you up and leave you satisfied. The scene in which Craven has memories of his childhood and Nurse Evans might make you shudder and cringe for poor young Craven, but his life is looking up just fine with Dominic in the picture.

Rated 4 ½ Delightful Divas by Melissa!

She hasn't got her author info to us for the site page, but I googled her and got all this.

Australian born, Eva Hore exploded into the world of erotica while finishing her degree in Writing and Editing at the Centre of Adult Education in Melbourne. She attributes her good fortune to her short story teacher, Gary Smith, for drawing on her class exercises and encouraging her to delve into this genre and peruse submission guidelines, which she did exhaustively.

She is a prolific writer and through total perseverance has managed to capture many of the men’s and overseas markets such as Hustler, Forum, Desire, Penthouse, Newcummers, Leg Sex, XL Magazine, Naughty Neighbors, Scared Naked Magazine, For Women, Adult Spy FRM, Playgirl, In the Buff, Hot Spot, New Love Story Magazine and Swank.
 
Her work is also seen in anthologies and short story collections such as Seriously Sexy I &2 Accent Press, Ultimate Sins, Ultimate Sex, Naughty Spanking 1 & 2, Satisfy Me, Tie Me Up and Whip Me, as well as their Five Minute Fantasies. Also in Delicate Friction, Best Lesbian Fiction 2005 Cleis Press, Skin Deep 2 Alyson’s Publications, Mammoth Book of Erotic Fantasies, The Collective, Best Women’s Erotica Cleis Press, The Perfect Valentine Bella Books, After Midnight Anthology Cleis Press, The Sexiest Soles Alyson’s Books, Grass Roots Publishing, The Mammoth Book of Lesbian Erotica and Ultimate Lesbian Erotica 2007 Alyson’s Books.
Eva writes F/F elsewhere and I hope she submits a few to us soon. The title we have above is kinky het with some F/F episodes.

Dark Roast is lusciously rich, and with added Eva it has become even richer.

This is a reprint from The Pagan and the Pen Yahoogroup, fomented by one of our authors, dismayed by ebook piracy and considering abandoning us for print, just as hackers took to chopping at our buy site this week. Happily the site is now up and running again and in the words of the Boss, 'fortified like Ft Knox' !
As usual the links are corrupted by perfidious Msplinks so please copy and paste them.

Re: Myristica--sharing books, piracy, ISBN's http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pagan_and_Pen/

Hi, A number of issues here:

When you lend a paper copy of a book to friends to read, you are not committing a piracy. An author recieves at most 8% royalty ona book, and that only after the advance has been paid off. For most authors,that means they only earn $5,000 on a book.

Most of the costs in paperbooks is printing, distribution (trucks! gas!), warehousing, and landfill. (If a new bookdoes not get sold in a bookstore within two weeks the cover is ripped off and sent to the publisher for a full refund to the store. The rest of the book is trashed, which means off to the land fill. Now walk into your local Barnes andNoble and imagine at least one copy of every book in the store going to a landfill every week, and this will give you a modest idea of the paper waste.)The publishers costs are editorial (a team to edit and proofread), design(jacket and print fonts) and advertisement.

If sharing print books was piracy the US would have no libraries. What I would suggest is that if you are part of a group that wants to read a certain book ask your library to buy it. Better still, ask your library if you can have a reading group and then give them alist of books you want to read for your reading group. If your group is big and your library won't buy the books raise Christians. (I've decided tosay "raiseChristians rather than raise Hell" when I'm among Pagans.) Publishers like me will adore you for getting your library to buy books. Libraries are great markets because they buy a lot of books at once, don't expect to return books,and don't demand impossible price reductions. They'll also keep buying the books as long as their patrons keep reading them into tatters. Libraries are not supposed to tell you what to read; it's a freedom of speech issue.

A library system for a big city, a group of towns, or a county will buy thousands of a book all at once. When a library system buys 10,000 books, all the costs of the book get covered with no warehousing needed because the libraries take all10,000 books. Even if a library only decided to buy three copies, the patrons will read it and get the word out. Books have suddenly become best sellersbecause of word of mouth started by library patrons. So if you need to share books, insist your libary buy them for you. That is the purpose of our libaries!

When you pass around an e-book, on the other hand, an author is getting a30%-50% royalty on every single e-book and does not get any advance, only theroyalties. Unlike the big publishers where the author gets the advance even if the book flops, the e-authors gets only royalites. The price of the e-bookcovers the publishers real costs of editing, design, promotion, and making available for sale. E-publishers are not filling up the nation's landfills with unread copies. E-publishers are not factoring printing, warehousing,transportation, and returns into the price of their books as the big publishinghouses do. When you pirate from them you are not just stealing profit, you are stealing costs, which means you are putting the authors and publishers in the red.

Next, regarding ISBN's. I've just gone through this process as a small publisher who now has her block of ISBN's. An author can not buy a single ISBN unless you are a publisher. You can get a single ISBN when publishing a print book through Lulu because Lulu negotiates a special arrangement and charges you for it, a lot. If you have a publisher, then your publisher would get the ISBN. If you got your own ISBN that would mean you have taken your book away from your publisher after your publisher has had the book edited, designed, promoted, and made available for sale on its website. How do you think you publisher would feel about you if you took the busisness away? Your publisher can get your booklisted at Amazon. Indeed, that's part of your publisher's work.

Now let's look at the piracy issue again. A publisher must buy a block of ISBN's. The smallest amount is a block of 10 for $275. However, a big publisher can buy a block of 1,000 ISBN's for $1,750.00. As you can see, the big publisher pays much less per individual ISBN than I do. I don't have the money currentlyto buy 1,000 ISBN's nor do I need that many. So I have to pay more for being a small company. And it is this way for every single publishing cost. I pay more for being a small company. So my loss to piracy is much greater than it is to big companies.

Cynthia

Blood Noir
 By Jesse Fox
http://jessefox1968.wordpress.com/
 Dark Roast Press
http://www.darkroastpress.com/bloodnoir.php
Genre: m/m, mystery, contemporary

"This is by far one of the best books I have ever read. Written with great insight, I literally could not put it down. Blood Noir is a solidly written story with depth, intensity and strength much akin to that of James Patterson and Dan Brown. The writing is gripping, mesmerizing, exciting and compelling. The story line is so realistic you’ll feel as if you have been grabbed by the collar and jerked into the middle of a mystery so terrifying you’ll hope you’re dreaming. The characters are written as if they are live, breathing human beings that might live next door, with an the ending will leave you breathless! Do not miss this book!"

BOUND BY BLOOD: THE AWAKENING BOOK ONE
C.H. SCARLETT
ISBN: Unavailable
February 2009 Dark Roast Press
http://darkroastpress.com 

As usual, if links are scrwed up, you may cut and paste to your browser my dears.
 Ebook $8.99 714 Pages
Paranormal, Dark Fantasy, Romance/Erotica
Rating: 4 Cups
 
....Because of a prophecy Samanthra Lampir is trying to keep her Awakening from occurring. If the prophecy is accurate, then her Awakening can trigger not only her beast from within, but may also bring about the death of her loved ones. Along comes Dareus Dracura, a man who is known as Father of the Blood and who is feared by many, including Samanthra's father, Dias. It was he who put Dareus away using The Sleep of the Damned.

Now Dareus and Samanthra must work together to save TERAH, the planet they live on, before it is overtaken by evil. While they struggle to fight against the evil powers that are waging a war against them, an even more pressing issue comes about. The Dark Matter, which is the source of evil's power, is slowly drawing upon subjects around it and forming an entity that is more dangerous and more deadly than any other being they have fought against.

Will Dareus and Samanthra be able to stop evil from winning and if so, at what cost to those they love? Ms. Scarlett will take you on a journey through time to a place before Earth was even a speck of dirt in the galaxy.

Bound By Blood: The Awakening, is the first book in a new series. While most of the story gripped me and took me on a fantastic voyage, parts of it were confusing, possibly from all the eclectic group of characters throughout this tale. I thoroughly enjoyed watching how much Samanthra came out swinging when others tried to hold her down, and Dareus' love for her made this story all the better.

With a cliffhanger that will leave you breathless, this novel will leave you in suspense and have you pleading for more books to come about the planet, TERAH and all its inhabitants.
