Cami Pressman is a yoga instructor with a lifelong secret love of junk food. Not even an irresistible man can replace the mouthwatering wickedness of her favorite foods.

Until, that is, Paul Hammond signs up for her class. He’s a gourmet chef looking to score some fitness tips, and a date with Cami. Suddenly Cami’s lust for junk food isn’t the only thing making her tingle.

When this sinful chef and hot yoga teacher eat, play, and lust together, they just might bring their obsession to a new level.

My Review

Three words: Sweet, devourable, and adorable. 



Eat Play Lust is just the perfect book to give you a nice, quick, and easy paced read. It’s short enough to fly through but developed enough to really make your heart soar with warmth and give you all the tingly feels.


Cami was a super cute character. She was passionate about yoga and being a good instructor to her students. She had a secret love for junk food, specifically tater tots, which I completely loved about her. Cami still had insecurities about her body despite how much she takes care of it now, which I think a lot of girls can relate to when it comes to their own images of their body. Cami definitely wasn’t perfect and a very easily connectable character who had a quirky personality that wasn’t hard to fall in love with. 



Paul was so endearingly awkward! He was a complete sweetheart who could say the weirdest things at inappropriate times, but I just adored him. I love that he had the biggest crush on Cami and wanted one on one time with her. I loved that he indulged in Cami’s love for tater tots. And oh my god, the way he talked about food, created food, and made it into a form of sexy foreplay. The man was hot and he completely owned the way he could turn junk food into something special. He didn’t tease or make fun of Cami and embraced her flaws and relished in her desires. 



I thought Eat, Play, Lust was a delectable read. I enjoyed it very much, though I wish it was longer. It definitely put a smile on my face and even brought out a few laughs.

When Eden Carver, Iowa farm girl turned NY actress, decides to seduce the sexy cop next door, she begins to wonder if she’s bitten off more than she can chew.

The last thing Officer Jay Bennett wants is to cross a line with the sweet and innocent country girl—no matter how much he’d like to help himself to a nibble. Not only are they in the friendship zone, a naïve girl like Eden doesn’t belong in his dangerous world.

But when she asks him to help her rehearse lines, and things go from simmer to boil, he finds himself doing the one thing he swore he’d never do. He knows he needs to walk away from temptation, but when sweet little Eden bites back, it tilts his world on its axis. Because biting back changes everything.

My Review

Hold me Down Hard is fast-paced, straight to the freaking point, and completely lustful! 



For some reason, everyone thinks Eden is a sweet, naive and innocent country girl from Iowa and this includes her hot best friend Jay. Little does anyone know that this aspiring actress has some sinful fantasies and fetishes. Sweet Eden likes to be tied up and spanked and she wants to be with someone who can give her that and more. I like a girl who knows that they want and that was Eden all the way. She was sexy, sensual and with the right push, wasn’t afraid to go after what she wanted. Eden had a creative way of getting exactly what she wanted from Jay and I was damn proud of her! 


I can totally understand Eden’s uniform fetish. There is just something about a strong man in a uniform that makes me want to pounce too. Jay was the perfect sexy cop I’d love to have in my bed all day! Jay was everything Eden has ever wanted in a guy and so much more. Jay was noble, protective, and totally sweet, but man does he like it hard, rough, and fast in bed. I liked that he didn’t want to hurt Eden and respected her as a friend and as a woman. I think he underestimated himself when it came to Eden and I was so glad when he finally let loose and was able to be himself. 


Hold Me Down Hard does not hesitate and goes directly into the sexy times, so if you’re looking for a drawn out love story plot line, you won’t find it here. This is just intense sexual attraction and chemistry at work and it was hot as hell.

Overall, Hold Me Down Hard is one short and steamy read that will pique your sexual interest and have you really really wishing for more. Please prepare to have your boyfriend, husband or significant other at hand after finishing.
