Deep Cover receives 4.5 Hearts and a Recommended Read from Night Owl Romance!
Deep Cover was a fascinating read that was hard to put down. The insight into the BDSM scene was provocative yet not overwhelming. The story takes you there but still revolves around the characters rather than devolving into a mere reflection of dom and sub behavior. A totally hot and sexy read that I will definitely be visiting again.

Excerpt of the Month "Beauty Sleep":
April 25th from Ellora's Cave, the 4th in the
Perfectly Wicked series...the wicked women of fairy tale fame with a seductive twist.
BLURB:
After accidentally cursing a princess to a hundred years of sleep, fairy Calliope La Fae couldn't get hired to enchant horse dung, let alone work as a court fairy to a royal family. The only way she made it to the castle was by way of the dungeon, and the only way she made it out with her life was by risking the use of her fractured magic.
And so a spell is cast, and two lovers enchanted...
King Aaron should be concentrating on saving his brother from Calliope's enchantment, but he can't seem to keep his mind on anything but the fairy herself. Whether it's in the castle bath, by the side of the road or tied to a tree--he'll take Calliope any way he can get her. Even when the spell she cast is broken, he can't get the woman out of his mind. There's no way he'll let her fall victim to own magic, no matter what he must risk to save her.
EXCERPT:
She knew she wasn’t dreaming as soon as he dropped his shorts to the floor. Calliope La Fae had done a lot of dreaming in her day, a lot of fantasizing, but she’d never in her life even dared to imagine a king in the altogether. Hell, she rarely imagined anyone in the altogether, even Jamie, the shepherd who had taken her nearly ancient virginity only the summer before.
Well, especially not Jamie. He was so terribly thin, despite his lovely dark eyes.
Unlike Aaron—it somehow felt right to call him Aaron, without the formality of his title between them. Aaron was at least six feet of pure muscle and possessed of wide shoulders that tapered down to a finely toned back, and a firm, round bottom that made her mouth water. She suddenly wanted to press her teeth into that hard flesh, to taste the unique flavor of his golden skin, while she let her hands stray around to the front of his body, to tease that long, hard length she’d had a brief glimpse of as he’d strode into the bath.
Strangely, the urge and the image it conjured in her mind didn’t cause her the slightest bit of shame. She’d only been with one man and never been besieged by carnal appetites, but she was most certainly besieged now and not at all inclined to blush like a near virgin at her lurid thoughts. She had no idea how she’d come to be in the castle or
why the king had brought her into his bath, but she knew exactly how she’d like to spend her time now that she was there.
Her nipples tightened against the soft fabric of her robe as she slowly pushed herself up to a seated position. Her arms trembled slightly, but from disuse or the overpowering lust surging through her, she honestly couldn’t say. Then, as if summoned by her aching body, Aaron slowly turned around.
Goddess, he’s even more lovely in person than in his pictures.
Warm brown eyes sparked in a face that was masculine perfection, graced with strong high cheekbones and a pair of full lips that begged to be nibbled at least as much as his beautiful ass. Calliope felt her lips part and a soft, needy sound escape her throat. Never had she been more consumed with the need to touch a man, to close the distance
between them as quickly as possible, to press her bare body to his and beg him to fill every empty aching place inside her, to merge with her completely until she forgot there was such a thing as separate skins.
She wanted to lick the beads of water from his chest, run her fingers through his dark, damp hair and pull his mouth down to kiss every fevered inch of her. He returned her heated stare, unblinking. They both seemed to be holding their breath, as if to breathe were to break the spell that allowed them to gaze at each other with such undisguised hunger.
“Calliope.” That’s all he said—simply her name—but somehow that was enough.
She brought her fingers to the tie at her waist and tore at the fastening, hands shaking as she opened her robe and let it fall to the cushions behind her. The tortured moan that escaped Aaron’s lips as she bared herself to him so exactly mirrored the way she was feeling that she didn’t hesitate for second, simply stood and raced the few feet
to the bath.
He met her on the steps, pulling her almost roughly into his arms.
Calliope gasped as her cool flesh made contact with his warm, wet body, a sound he swallowed with his mouth upon hers. He claimed her lips with a kiss that tore more tortured, hungry sounds from her against her will. She didn’t want to seem too desperate, too wanton, but it was as if she’d never known the meaning of those words, never been taught by her mother to fear the power of a human’s touch.
“You intoxicate me,” he mumbled against her lips, not interrupting their kiss for a moment as he pulled her into the deeper water. Once there, he hitched her legs up and around his waist and pressed her back against the wall of the bath.
