The Club Series (The Darkest Corners, Piqued & Heady Velvet by Katherine Rhodes, Elise Black and Emily Walker


Title: The Darkest Corners 
Author: Katherine Rhodes 

Title: Piqued 
Author: Elise Black 

Title: Heady Velvet 
Author : Emily Walker















The darkest corners hold the most sinful delights.

Tally Fremanis lives in the dark corners, seeking those sinful delights. It's been her whole life since college. A founding owner of The Club, she is a demanding mistress both in and out of the bedroom.

Discretion in all matters is her modus operandi, and to this end The Club needs new security system. But when she hires Liam Dunfrees, she finds herself wondering if there might be more to him.

The sparks that fly in the bedroom burn both Tally and Liam. With other scars beneath the surface, neither of them are sure they have the strength to fight for this potential new love.

At the club, there are three rules--
1. Keep your mouth shut.
2. Keep your mouth shut
3. Keep your mouth shut.

But sometimes, someone has to speak up...



Claire Phillips is a creative genius. Her canvas is an empty room, her mediums paint wheels and fabric samples. This interior designer’s work is as bold and colorful as her life is dull and monochromatic. If only she could live her life with the same reckless abandon that she devotes to her work.

Sometimes dreams aren’t enough. When circumstances become dire, Claire must decide whether to close up shop or accept a job opportunity that’s both too good and too bizarre to be true.

At The Club, there are three rules:

1. Keep your mouth shut.
2. Keep your mouth shut.
3. Keep your mouth shut.

Some people like to watch and some people like to be watched. Claire thinks she’s neither, but when the man who holds the future of her business in his hands shows a side of himself she’s never seen before, she’ll have to admit that her interest in The Club is

PIQUED.





Alice Plume is a carefree spirit. She doesn’t get worked up about much—how could she when her son-in- law owns a secret sex club?
While she’s fine with the fact that her daughter lives a life surrounded by kink, she’s never had any desire to venture further into the lifestyle—or even the club itself—other than catering a party or two. But then, she meets Knoll Seaton.
Knoll is the sexy personification of the ‘silver fox—a real estate mogul with a voice that makes her insides melt, and touch that makes her want to beg. He’s also very much into the club lifestyle.
Alice isn’t sure that she can change her perception of sex to meet Knoll halfway...but Knoll isn’t one to walk away from something he wants. And he wants Alice.

This is the 4th book in the standalone series.  Tally is one of the owners/founders of The Club and she enjoys her secret life of being a demanding woman in and out of the The Club.  She likes having this secret to herself and because of this she decides she needs to have a good security system installed in The Club.  She hires, super sexy Liam, and once she sees him all bets are off.  Another book in the series, that didn’t disappoint!!  I’m a huge fan of this series!!

Title: Piqued
Series: The Club Series, Book 5
Author: Elise Black
Genre: BDSM, Erotica

“His hands slid up to the side of her face and then one wrapped around her neck.  He pulled away ever so slightly until his mouth hovered over hers, close enough to steal her breath but not close enough to claim it..  He weaved his fingers through her hair and watched her eyes as he pulled hard enough on it to tip her head backwards.”

5 super sexy, hot stars!!  This is a standalone in the series and it’s so hot!  I love Elise Black and this book was just as amazing as her other books!!!

This series, is a multi author series, and each book is just as different and fun as the next.  Each book centers around The Club, a secret BDSM club.  In this book we meet, Claire and interior designer who’s about to lose everything because one client hasn’t paid her.  She gets an offer from another client to help decorate a different type of venue.  She never knew it would be The Club.  And while there she runs into someone she never thought she’d see there.  I won’t give away much else, you definitely have to read this book to understand!!  Loved this take on the series!!

Title: Heady Velvet
Series: The Club Series, #6
Author: Emily Walker
Genre: BDSM, Erotica

“His breath was at her ear and her own hitched as he moved closer to nibble a bit, then he kissed down the side of her neck.  He brought one hand around her stomach to puller her to him and one snaked up her inner thigh slowly”

5 stars!  I swear, with every book I read with this series, I fall more in love with it!!  Each book gets better and better!!

Alice Plume is a carefree spirit. She doesn't get worked up about much-- how could she when her son-n-law owns a secret sex club?

While she's fine with the fact that her daughter lives a life surrounded by kink, she's never had any desire to venture further into the lifestyle--or even the club itself--other than catering a party or two. But then, she meets Knoll Seaton.

Knoll is the sexy personification of the 'silver fox--a real estate mogul with a voice that makes her insides melt, and touch that makes her want to beg. He's also very much into the club lifestyle.

Alice isn't sure that she can change her perception of sex to meet Knoll halfway...but Knoll isn't one to walk away from something he wants. And he wants Alice.

Happy-go-lucky, free spirit Alice doesn’t have a care in the world.  Her daughter is pregnant and she’s planning for that joyous event.  Her son-in-law is owner of The Club and she’s fine with that, but she herself has never ventured inside the club, except to cater a party.  That is until she meets Knoll.  Sparks fly and Alice is thrown into a world she never thought she would have the guts to experience.
