Today’s Backlist Bonanza is focused on the two of us who have multiple personalities. Eden Bradley aka Eve Berlin and RG Alexander aka Rachel Grace (that’s me lol)
All of our personalities do everything together (she is my bunny wife after all) so why not this too?
EDEN BRADLEY
RG: Our very own Queen of Kink…seriously if you haven’t read this, you really need to. I’m not kidding. Don’t make me spank you.
Surrender has its own rewards…
This scintillating erotic debut tells the deliciously potent tale of one woman’s quest for self discovery-in the intriguing underground world of Los Angeles’s club scene…
Rowan Cassidy likes to be in charge—especially in her personal life. As a Mistress at Club Privé, the most exclusive bondage/S&M club on the West Coast, Rowan can live out her dominant fantasies safely, and with complete control—until Christian Thorne walks in. Self-confidant and sophisticated, he’s a natural dominant if Rowan’s ever seen one. Yet she can’t stop thinking about him and imagining his touch.
Christian has returned home from Europe, hoping to break free from his dissatisfaction and malaise—and discovers the cure in Rowan. He’s dying to get his skilled hands on her and watch her surrender, to unlock the mystery of her that captivates him. Determined to be her Master, he makes Rowan a daring proposition: give herself over to him for thirty days.
Rowan finds Christian’s offer terrifying—and impossible to resist. But abandoning herself to Christian’s power might be more than she can handle…Or it might be the realization of her true nature and the dark garden within her. There will be only one way to find out. And once the game has begun, there’s no turning back.
*Romantic Times 2007 Reviewers’ Choice Nominee!
*A Golden Quill Finalist!
RG: Shibari…who knew? Its awesome. *wink*
Shibari…The ancient art of erotic restraint…Its finely-knotted ropes are a turn-on, a sexual experience…and for some, an absolute necessity…
Serving the Master: Desmond and Ava
At a San Francisco sex club called Pinnacle, Ava Gregory seeks something she cannot quite describe. But of one thing she is certain: the moments when feels her most beautiful and complete are when she is tightly restrained in the Shibari ropes. At Pinnacle, she’s paired with a master: Desmond Hale, who thrives on control… But something surprising happens when Desmond binds Ava’s willing body and takes her to the edge of ecstasy. And now, the two are taking their relationship out of the shadows of the club, sharing secrets unleashed and bodies unbound…
Soothing the Beast: Marina and James
An art dealer and Shibari master, Marina has never hesitated to dominate anyone. Until she meets James, a dark, gorgeous, towering journalist who’s survived horrors around the world. James confesses that submission is the only way to clear his troubled mind, but Marina is instantly overwhelmed by his strength and magnetism. To share the pleasures of bondage, something must change between them. When it does, it will come with an explosion of unexpected pleasure—and a relationship that neither could have ever have imagined…
“Very few authors can write BDSM the way Eden Bradley can. Full of vivid details, intense emotions, and sensual heat, The Beauty of Surrender is utterly, and erotically, entrancing.”
RG: This is Eden’s favorite cover. Can you blame her?
Readers who wish to explore THE DARKER SIDE OF PLEASURE through erotic fiction will welcome Eden Bradley’s second book, a trio of tales to tantalize.
Provocative, scintillating, sensual-all describe the compelling and irresistible erotic storytelling of Eden Bradley. She offers a glimpse into a world that is both mysterious and unique, delving into the secret desires and fantasies of those for whom there’s no such thing as going too far.
In one story, a wife is able to re-connect with her husband through complete submission. In another, a woman enters the forbidden world of BDSM, only to discover a love she never thought possible. In the third tale, a sophisticated journalist interviews a dominant male, coming under his spell, and discovering her true self only through submitting to his every desire.
“Ms Bradley’s writing is intelligent, insightful, and lays you into a hotbed of complexities placing her on my SUPREME LIST of favored authors.”
EVE BERLIN
As Eve Berlin, Eden has written a trio of BDSM novels with a alpha heroes and a real focus on the romance. The reviewer at About Happy Books said ‘”One of the best erotic romances I have ever read…” Take a look at .
RG: LOVE THIS! That is all.
How do you know…
For beautiful erotica author Dylan Ivory, being in control is everything. Growing up in a dysfunctional home, she raised her younger brother–right up to the day he died in a motorcycle accident. Since then, she has lived a life of perfect order, leaving nothing to chance. Then she met the man who was everything she was not…and everything she wanted.
How far you can go…
Alec Walker is a writer of dark psychological thrillers–and a man who lives for thrills. From motorcycles to snowboards to swimming with sharks, there’s no end to his lust for excitement. His tastes extend into the bedroom as well, and into The Pleasure Dome, the local BDSM club where he lets no rules bind his desires. The only thing he truly fears is love, and allowing someone else to really know him…
Unless you go over the edge?
While researching a book on sexual extremes, Dylan interviews Alec–and longs to taste the temptation he offers. But he’s a self-proclaimed dominant and she refuses to surrender control. Slowly and seductively, though, Alec shows her that by letting go and submitting to his every desire she can experience the ultimate pleasure. But to keep the woman who for the first time brings him to his knees , can Alec take the ultimate risk and surrender his heart?
* * Winner of the Holt Medallion Award for Best Erotic Romance of 2010 * *
The next book is more of a spanking book, and the heroine is modeled after a friend of mine.Author Shayla Black called it “a feast for the senses and the heart…” and RT Book Reviews gave it 4 1/2 stars! You can also see the sexy book trailer HERE.
RG: Spanking? Did she say spanking?
Giving in to desire…
As a lawyer, Kara Crawford knows how to keep a secret, especially after being spurned by an ex for revealing her sexual needs. Kara doesn’t expect to find anyone who can fulfill her more extreme desires—bondage and spanking–until she experiences one of the most incredible nights of her life with a man she’s always admired from afar.p>
…can set you free…
Sexual dominant Dante De Matteo knew Kara back in high school, and he never imagined her darkest fantasies would align so perfectly with his. The lovers don’t expect their passion to last more than a night, but when Dante’s new job turns out to be at Kara’s law firm, they find themselves confronted daily with the sparks of their blistering chemistry.
…but only if you give yourself completely.
As intense desire draws them closer, deep-rooted fears threaten to pull them apart—unless they can learn to embrace both the pain and pleasure of love.
“Eve Berlin, what took us so long to find you?… Eve Berlin writes scorchingly hot erotica that will leave you breathless.”
RG ALEXANDER
As RG Alexander, I’ve written over 20 paranormal series and contemporary menage stories for Samhain, Ellora’s Cave and Berkley. And trust me, we have a lot more coming. Check out my Booklist
RG: Have you met Bone Daddy? He’s a handful, but he’s worth it.
In the Big Easy, the spirit of passion is alive…
In the Big Easy, there’s a legend women long for: a sexual voodoo spirit who can fulfill their darkest fantasies.
And in these three steaming-hot novellas, he helps three New Orleans couples achieve the ultimate satisfaction…
In Release Me, Allegra heads down to New Orleans to heal her wounds, but she never expects to lose her heart to such a quiet, troubled man as Rousseau. She’s even less prepared for the scorching, sexual spirit within him-and what he can do to her…
In Reclaim Me, Ben has loved Michelle as long as he can remember. But his beautiful artist has a way of running away from life-and what the pair could be. Leave it to the infamous spirit to help Ben prove to Michelle where she belongs: in his embrace…
In Redeem Me, it’s All Saints’ Day, the one day the voodoo spirit can walk the world in the flesh. When he bumps into Bethany, she might just be the reincarnation of a girl he once loved. Passion ignites, but can the couple overcome past mistakes and have a real chance at love?
***Finalist in Passionate Plume for Best Erotic Paranormal/Time Travel 2010
***Nominated for Best Print/Electronic Erotic Novel P & E 2010
Something magic this way comes…
Callie has always known the Abbotts were different. Witches, though they call themselves “Magians”. They are her second family. Harrison Abbott has been her best friend since they were children. Tucker Abbott, her life-long crush. And their brother, Tyghe? A magical pain in her backside.
When the Abbotts need her human perspective to solve a mystery, she doesn’t hesitate. Especially since it means getting everything she ever wanted. A chance to be one of them, to have magic, even if it’s only temporary.Someone is attacking young women at Triune, a ritual that helps Magians find their perfect threesome—the match that will complete their magic and their hearts.
Callie expected to be dazzled by her first glimpse into the Magian world, but the bone-melting desire between her and the Abbott brothers isn’t part of the plan.Nor is the decades-old secret that makes her the target of a killer…

Personality #2
RACHEL GRACE
RG/Rachel: A Clockworky Steampunkitude Fantasy based on…you guessed it…the Smutketeers!
The world of Theorrey runs like a well-oiled machine. The
elements are in balance, passion is tamed and the young queen
is the heartbeat of it all. But in these two all-new stories of
elemental steam, nothing is ever as it seems…
Earthly Desires
Demeter “Dare” Senedal is the Queen’s Chalice-her protector and closest companion. So when the queen goes missing, Dare rushes to locate her, even though the search leads her straight into trouble.
A gentleman who trades in secrets and sin, Bodhan revels in carnal delights, but when a naked and bound woman appears on his shore, he finds his hunger to possess at odds with his need to protect. As Bodhan shares his knowledge of pleasure, Dare must decide if she can trust him, both with her mission and her heart.
Fiery Temptations
Seraphina always lands on her feet. After all, she is a Felidae-more feline than human-and an excellent thief. There has never been a job Phina wouldn’t take or a man who could tame her…until she meets Cyrus Arendal.
As the Queen’s Sword, Cyrus should have known better than to fall victim to a beautiful bandit. Now, to find and retrieve the moonfire dagger, he’ll need to convince Phina not to judge a man by his station, but rather by how completely he can satisfy her desires.
“A steampunk fantasy dream come true”
“An adventure that will leave you breathless”
“Sizzling with heat”
Okay Smutkedettes and wonderful readers…Go forth and enter the contest! Because seriously, who wouldn’t want a Nook for Mother’s Day? :)
Happy Reading!
ALL FOR SMUT AND SMUT FOR ALL!

Backlist bonanza is awesome! I have more new reading ideas than my brain could possibly process right now and they are all so good, covers and all!
~Ava~
by Ava VonGiebel May 11th, 2012 at 5:00 amLove the backlist bonanza, have so many more reading ideas. And the covers are amazing.
by JeanP May 11th, 2012 at 6:28 amEden –
I can’t choose my favourite between Night Moves – so amazingly erotic and The Lovers – so emotional and erotic.
Eve –
I can’t believe I haven’t read Pleasure’s Edge or Desire’s Edge! I must remedy that!
RG -
My all-time fav, and the first erotica I ever read, remains Three for me. Possess Me is a close second.
Rachel –
by Katherine May 11th, 2012 at 7:37 amI haven’t read Geared for Pleasure yet. I love the cover!
Thank all you ladies for a week of fun contests and lots of books to check out! For Eve/Eden it would be the Edge series and for Rachel/RG the Wicked series!
by Laurie May 11th, 2012 at 7:45 amPurple is my favorite color so I am drawn toward Eden’s Darker Side of Pleasure and RG’s Wicked Sexy 3. Both covers are gorgeous.
I loved BDSM-apalooza! It should be an annual event!
by StacieD May 11th, 2012 at 8:10 amI think The Beauty of Surrender was one of the first I read by Eden/Eve, and it was so lovely that I nearly cried. It really opened my eyes to the emotional side of shibari and BDSM. And RG is rocking my reading world! I loved Possess Me even though I remember thinking before I started, “Huh. A voodoo spirit?! Not sure about that…” Well, RG pulled it off, in spades. And just started enjoying her clockworky steampunkitude and can’t wait for more time so I can finish!!
You ladies are amazing. Period.
by Fedora May 11th, 2012 at 8:18 amI love the cover to R.G.’s Possess Me.
by CrystalGB May 11th, 2012 at 8:33 amGreat contest! Y’all have so many smokin hot covers, out of the featured books, these are my favorite covers: Notorious by Karen, Treasured by Crystal, Desire’s Edge by Eve/Eden and Wicked Sexy by RG/Rachel.
What book I would love to see next? Reading the series Children of the Goddess led me to the Smutekeers, would love another book in that series *on knees begging ;)
by Connie May 11th, 2012 at 9:28 amShared on FB http://www.facebook.com/mel.bourn.5/posts/228253610621758#!/
So many books and can’t wait to read them all. I love cover if Desire’s Edge and looking forward to Temptation’s Edge release. I also love the cover and story from Three For Me since this was my first RG book.
by Phuong May 11th, 2012 at 9:28 amI haven’t had a chance to read these wonderful authors…yet, I’m always on the lookout for new books.
by jolina pardo May 11th, 2012 at 9:35 amI loved the The darker side of pleasure and
The wicked sexy covers.
Wonderful contest ladies Thank you
Oooh, I love the cover of Possess Me. And I’m a sucker for stories set in New Orleans. I’ve tried to get jobs there so I could live there more than once. There’s just something about that place that draws me.
Yum.
by Marlene May 11th, 2012 at 9:53 amI picked my favorite cover on the last post now on to my favorite books. I cannot just pick one! I love Bone Daddy and the rest of the gang from RG as well as four for Christmas. Pleasures edge by Eve was great as well my list could go on and on! I just love all these books! I could never pick just one.
by Gabrielle May 11th, 2012 at 10:31 ambacklist bonanza this has been such a fun few days to visit here and learn so much about these authors! :)

I discovered R.G. Alexander’s works when Possess Me slapped me upside the head. It will always be my favorite by R.G.
Eden’s Eversong cover is a favorite of mine. It’s just hot and steamy.
by Tracey D May 11th, 2012 at 12:08 pmI really enjoyed reading the interviews with the different authors from BDSMapalooza. I posted on my blog and made sure I sent people over when I was communicating with other bloggers. I forgot we were supposed to mention this contest when we posted to the BDSMapalooza…too many things to remember, lol. Thanks again for sharing and for all of your hard work!
by ELF May 11th, 2012 at 12:16 pmMy favorite Eden Bradley cover is for The Seeking Kiss and for Eve Berlin it is definitely without a doubt Desire’s Edge. Something about rain/water soaked lovers does it for me. My favorite R.G Alexander cover is a tie for Wicked Sexy and Wicked Bad, but that is probably because I love those books. I love that cover for Geared for pleasure. Yet another book added to my long TBR list.
by Melissa P. May 11th, 2012 at 12:19 pmI do like the colorful ribbons on the covers.
by Jane May 11th, 2012 at 1:24 pmI think THE DARK GARDEN is a WONDERFUL cover! It’s beautiful, and I love the font :-)
by Chelsea B. May 11th, 2012 at 2:38 pmAll the books have great covers, though!
Thank you for the amazing contest!
For Eden’s books, I love the Darker Side of Pleasure & Dark Garden the best. There is something beautiful about the simplicity of them. Now for RG’s books I love Geared for Pleasure and Possess me (actually, I like all the hot guys, LOL).
I really love your all’s books that contain either BDSM or paranomal (or both). Those tend to draw me, along with menages…..huh, maybe I just love them all, *G*
I already “Liked” many books on Amazon by you all: https://www.amazon.com/gp/yourstore/iyr?ie=UTF8&ref_=pd_like_see_all_dp&collection=liked&

Wow, still fanning self here. Those were some hot covers. I’ve read The Darker Side of Pleasure by Eden Bradley. I thought it was fantastic. My favorite cover for Eden is The Beauty of Surrender. For Eve its Pleasure’s Edge. For R G it’s all of the above. I loved all the covers, Ok I’ll pick one, Possess Me.
by Julianne May 11th, 2012 at 3:42 pmAnd for Rachel its Geared for Pleasure. Thanks for showing us this backlist bonanza so we could add more books to our lists.
Pleasure’s Edge is it for me- oh, wow, she’s a writer, he’s a dom- game on! I love reading all this info on what you guys feel about the books!
by Beth Wharton May 11th, 2012 at 4:47 pmMy interest in a book almost always starts with a cover. You ladies have some of the bet covers. Seriously awesome. Four for Christmas was a hot sexy little read. I see more i need to read here though.

by Lisa B May 11th, 2012 at 4:52 pmI love hearing about all these stories. I could never choose just one
by DebraG May 11th, 2012 at 5:04 pmLove the cover of Darker Side of Pleasure! I haven’t had a chance to read any of these books by Eden/Eve yet, though I do own them all!
BONE DADDY!!! For both cover and book.
by Susan R May 11th, 2012 at 6:18 pmAnd I am more than anxiously awaiting the 3rd book in the Shifting Reality series. I’m trying to be patient, I really am…..
I haven’t read many of your books but I really loved Possess Me. And while I don’t think it was my favourite cover I love how that one, Tempt Me and Three Sinful Wishes all look lined up on my bookshelf, mostly because the spines are really pretty and matching.
by JessS May 11th, 2012 at 6:35 pmThanks for the giveaway! I’m international so not really sure how the Nook thing works (and if you can even get them in Australia) but I’d still love to enter for the GCs.

by jennifer mathis May 11th, 2012 at 6:46 pmI adore the covers for Geared for Pleasure and Possess Me. It blends details and a model nicely. It makes me want to read it.
A book I am really looking forward to reading is The Dark Garden. It sounds intense :)

Dana M
by Dana Meve May 11th, 2012 at 7:18 pmBreaking Skye was the first book by Eden that I read and I loved it and I started reading more in this genre thanks to that book. RG I love BD and Geared has turned me on to Steampunk…thank you. In the picture of the two of you..you could pass for sisters!
by Z May 11th, 2012 at 9:10 pmZ
For the covers, I really like Eden/Eve’s The Dark Garden and Pleasure’s Edge. For RG/Rachel, I really like Wicked Sexy and Geared for Pleasure. I have added all of these books to my wish list.
by Michelle Anderson May 11th, 2012 at 10:02 pmOne of my favorites is Possess Me, love the story and cover.

I’t believe I have found two books here I have not yet read! ~squeal
Oooooo i hope I get a book GC tomorrow for Mother’s Day cuz, I already have my shopping list!
by Angela May 12th, 2012 at 5:48 amTHE DARKER SIDE OF PLEASURE is my favorite Eden cover! Although, I do love Pleasure’s Edge too. I even bought THE DARKER SIDE OF PLEASURE based on the cover. lol I do love a good cover. I have yet to read it, but I will soon and I’m sure I’ll love it too. As for my favorite book? That would go to THE LOVERS. I LOVED that book and would like something close to that book next.
So since I am still new to the Smutketeers, I haven’t read all their books yet. Which means I haven’t read RG’s yet. *hangs head in shame* I am not a good fan. lol But I think RG will be my next Smutketeer. :) I’m trying to make my way through each one. I liked the cover to WICKED LOVERS and to LUX IN SHADOW, but I also liked TRULY SCRUMPTIOUS.
Thanks!
by Taryn Lisa May 12th, 2012 at 9:54 pmHi all. While I love Eden’s new cover for The Dark Garden, I like the corset cover the best. Can totally understand the need to make it more mainstream. RG is new to me so I’m open to Geared for Pleasure.
