First of all, head over to amazon and buy Alisha Rai's Be My Fantasy IMMEDIATELY here. Best 99c you'll ever spend! (You can check out other links to purchase it on her page here.)

 Secondly, you should know by now that those of us who have read Alisha Rai's work are in love with her. She was on our best reads of 2015 list and our favorite new authors list. And if you haven't read her books, I am so disappointed! You HAVE to! Literally pick up any of them and you will also fall in love. And if you don't, well :
Well, you could. But we'd just go on about
how much you suck for not loving these.

Dear Alisha Rai, 

 I know we've said it so many times, and sure, you'll probably get tired of hearing it, but we love your books. So much. It's something that hits us every time we read or reread a book of yours.

When fate first introduced me to your books, I thought that there was no way EVERY book you wrote would be made of this much win. NO WAY! I have never been more happy to be wrong. 

 Barb and I have spent hours reading and rereading your books. And every time we do, we discover something new we love! Like the fact that you can take traditional romance and erotica cliches and spin them on their heads. With your sexy lady billionaires, who are way sexier than any of those boring, brooding men who don't seem to ever do any work. With your gorgeous, tortured artists who really do have genuine reasons to be angsty. Sexy writers who can take criticism about their female characters without resorting to mansplaining and actually taking it into consideration when writing. Men who look different from the usual guys you read about in most romances. And women who look different too. A true reflection of the world around us. 
Maybe even men who look like this!
(Gratuitous Jason Momoa gif.)
Your women are exactly the kind of women I want to read about. Women who are open, vulnerable, strong, smart, sexual, loyal, insecure, dedicated, hard working all at once. Women who know their value. From different walks of life. Some with loving families, and some with none. Women who deserve all the love and respect in the world. Women so perfect in their realness, it makes me want to cry with happiness. Akira, Rana, Devi, Tess, all of them, they're women I will always root for, always want to support, always want to read more of.

You are a goddess. A brilliant, wonderful, hilarious goddess who deserves a trophy for writing some of the best erotica I have EVER read. 

 We love your amazing mind. And your ability to write the sexiest, filthiest, and most sensual sex scenes ever. To build up chemistry so tangible, we can feel the sparks fly off the page. And we'll happily risk being scorched. 
A+ on those scenes.
Thank you for being amazing. For making the Wenches feel just a little saucier. For writing classy, quality filth that we just cannot get enough of. Please, never change! You are on my limited list of authors whose books I buy without even thinking twice about it. That one click buy setting has never been more useful! We adore you, and your books, and your twitter feed! 

 Love,

The Wenches! (Mainly Zee and Barb!) x0x0 

Because, why not?

Created by Olga Daniels What better way to prepare for the impending release of the next Black Dagger Brotherhood novel, Lover at Last by J. R. Ward, than to relive some of our favourite scenes in the previous books?! Some of these scenes were selected by multiple Wenches, others are just personal favourites. One is. Clearly. The. Wench. Favourite. It won't be hard to tell which one! After the jump, see which scenes made us ooh, ahh, and pant for more.

A Tribute to The Fiery Cross

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -
Image
Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s
