Review: Hidden Fantasy by Melody Monore

Hidden Fantasy
Fantasy Resort Book 3

Stubborn but sexy prosecuting attorney, Larissa Viamari, is targeted by a violent gang and goes into hiding at the Sensual Pleasures Fantasy Resort. She tries to blend in by joining in the activities, one of which is a body painting contest. Only she has no idea it involves her two hunky cowboy bodyguards dragging paintbrushes over every intimate inch of her. Given she hasn’t have sex in seven years, she has a hard time dealing with the intense stimulation and longings bursting to escape. But then her cover is blown, and the gang finds her. She realizes some tough decisions must be made. What will she have to sacrifice, or rather want to sacrifice, now that she’s gotten to know these men better?

I obtained the above information from Ms. Melody's website!

I was given this book for my honest thoughts... So here goes!

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review... I was given this book for my honest thoughts... So let's go..

If you have come to my place more than once, you will know that I have read Ms. Monroe's series of Fantasy Resort and liked them! I was happy that she asked me to read book 3!!! And let me say... I was not disappointed! Actually, Ms. Monroe's writing keeps getting better! The suspense is getting thicker, the involvement is getting deeper and the loving just keeps getting... well....hotter!!! Ms. Monroe is developing these stories with a richness that is nice, even for a short story. She is intermingling the characters from the previous books with such an ease that makes the stories flow together. There is no need to read the books in order, you will not be lost. =) These stories keep getting better!!!

This story will entrap you with the opening story... Which drew me in from the opening line. ((I love it when a story opens with a great opening line ~ fyi)) To learn of Larissa's history with her friends and her ex was a key element. It all meshed very well together, Ms. Melody is keeping her stories fresh, hot, attractive with damn hot ass men!!!

This story only took me a day to read. Which means... this is an awesome story! The men in Ms. Monroe's story will make you want to head to this resort to fulfill your own damn fantasy and believe me - after three stories... Ms. Monroe will give up the location of this place because I want my own fantasies fulfilled!! Especially with the hot men she puts in these!!! Surely she can create one for me!! Hehehehe!!!

Seriously though, these stories are really great and like I stated above, you do not have to read in order, but it is nice. The friends come and go in all the stories, so you are never left out. Ms. Melody does a great job at bringing them in and out of the story but not overshadowing them in the story as to take away from the main characters.

I can't give you to much because this is a short story (by my guidelines, lol) and you will want to be surprised by exactly what happens to Larissa. Can a straight laced, uptight lawyer find something that two men are willing to give her....??? A heart filled with love....

I will have to say that Ms. Monroe steals my hearts with her endings! I fall in love every time!! Ms. Monroe another great escape into the Fantasy Resort series!!!! Now I need book four!!! =)

Review**New Cover*** Undercover Fantasy: Book 2 Melody S. Monroe

Undercover Fantasy

Fantasy Book 2

Tiffany North, a hot but jaded vice cop, is assigned to entrap three hunky men at a fantasy resort suspected of prostitution. She’ll do anything to solve her case, including posing naked. She’s shocked when her decision making process is shot to hell by the very men targeted in her sting operation.

Trent Lawson, a disenchanted lawyer who’s been to hell and back, is one of the suspects. He can’t afford to break the resort rules of no sex with the tempting new client. His brother, Dominic, knows how to get women to do his bidding, but he too won’t risk losing the cushy job.

Tempted beyond limits, the brothers recruit their cop cousin, Brandon, to take the little vixen out of her comfort zone. Can the three men discover her hidden agenda before she’s able to lure them all to the dark side? 

I obtained the above information at Ms. Melody's website.

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not    judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...


I recently read Three Hired Lovers by Ms Melody Monroe and enjoyed it... This is her newest one... Undercover Fantasy and it was very enjoyable. Ms. Melody is leaving me thinking about how she is going to tie another story with three men and one woman... All I have to say is that I quite surprised at how she did... From all angles*** evil laughter*** she did it just right. And there will be more to come from Ms. Melody with her Menage series!

When you think of what the story's main agenda is ~ three men and one woman (((oh yes, it is all about her))) you tend to think that there are only a few ways this can be done without being repetitive. But I commend Ms Melody on her way of keeping the story fresh, alive, and hot.

When you think of fantasies.... What do you think of? I'm not talking about the one where a hot, preferable naked one, does your housework ((although that is a very naughty fantasy, I have to admit))... I mean sexually... Now of course, I am not going to come out and ask exactly what your fantasies are, but just think on them for a little while.

This is not just a story of sexual delights, fantasies fulfilled and hot sex.... No, Ms. Monroe puts more story behind it than that. She gives us touching moments, gut wrenching decisions, broken hearts and a little bit of finding happiness.

Tiffany is a vise cop who enjoys her job. She gets to beat the crap out of the bad guys and lock them away. But when a case does not sit well with her boss, he wants her to go undercover. No problem for Tiffany, she has been undercover in some of the worst situations.... Going undercover to a Fantasy Resort is kinda  a break for Tiffany...


Trent and Dominic are two men who have goals for themselves... And working at the Fantasy Resort is just a way to earn enough money to do what they want to do.... One goes back into law, the other opens his own photo studio. But when one woman's accusation comes down on their head.... They may lose more than their jobs... Until one woman walks into their doors and changes things for both of them... She changes it so much, they have to call their cousin, Brandon, to come in and "handle" the situation. 


Now, when you read this story, please keep in mind it is a short story. The reason I am reminding you of this is because of the relationships. I don't want you to judge the book when the relationships just kinda fall together. Okay, so now that I got that warning out the way... This is a great book. Like I said earlier.... Ms. Melody did a great job at giving up an over around story. This is just not a story of four people having orgies after orgies.


I was quite surprised at how Ms. Melody put the events of this book together. I was rather shocked over a couple of facts that came to light... But what made me happy was the outcome of those fact. Tiffany handled herself very well and her heart even better. I hope you enjoy Undercover-ing... Tiffany's Fantasy!

ARC Review: Three Hired Lovers by Melody Monroe

Fantasy Resort Series - Book 1

Jillian Masters has never had a climax. To save her job, she consents to a weekend at a resort designed to awaken her dormant sexuality. When she meets three totally hot hired lovers, (a cowboy, a Frenchman and a pool cleaner), she discovers her experience is way more than she’s ready for as their teasing and tempting forces her to confront her conflicting desires.  

When she finds out the three men have a hidden agenda, and that her professional career hangs in the balance, the devastating situation leads her to reevaluate her priorities.

Will she give into the temptation of her newly awakened arousal or will she leave them hanging?

I obtained the above information from Ms. Monroe's website.

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

I was given this book for an honest review and my honest thoughts, so here goes...

Melody Monroe is a new to me author But one that will be on my radar from now on.  She has intrigued me through her story, kept me guessing as to what was going to happen and what would be the ending...

I put the notice about short stories up there but I want you know that this is not a super short story... It comes in around 110+ pages... I read it in an day. You will want to know what happen just the same.

Let me say this is a menage with a twist... I thought the brother thing might ick me out because I didn't know what way Rod, Frank and Joe would take this story... But I have to say that I was quite surprised how it ended...

Jillian Masters is a woman who spends her life in the lab as a chemist. She lives for mixing components together to make products better, she combines things to create things to bring pleasure, she also works on the chemical make up for those products to design better ones... it's what she lives for. What about her life you may ask... Well, the lab is her life. Until one day her dad makes her take a vacation she will never forget about.

Joe, Frank and Rod are brothers... Joe is the oldest brother. Sweet and tender. Frank is the middle. A little demanding but a touch of softness to him. And Rod is the baby, but he is no push over. These are full grown, hot blooded, all American men. Well rounded in all aspects of their lives, even the business they run together. Welcome to their world of making sex toys and products that brings pleasure to couples or just the individual themselves. They are driven, but each one with a different goal. Now with one proposition... Can they have their cake and eat it too??

The brothers get offered a chance of a lifetime... To have their company be bought out for five million dollars. Isn't that any business man's dream... But with all offers, comes the catch. Can they handle the catch? To seduce the daughter of the CEO and make her understand the concept of what she creates.

When I started this book, at first I was taken back by Jillian's father request. You guessed it, he is the CEO that wants to buy out the boy's business. The request was quite bold and if I may say so... really out there. But as the story evolves, you will see and understand the man's request. The reasoning behind the offer. But still.... How the boys take the offer and make it their own is what gets the story going... Jillian's reaction to each brother was a little quick for being a lab rat, but she is woman after all... and being surrounded by men like these... Well hell, I am sure you would be purring like a kitty too in front of them.

I enjoyed how Ms. Melody tied the story together... and how she added stories within the story. She did not complicate the main story to offer us side stories. That was done very well. What I loved the most is how each brother brought something different to the table to offer Jillian. To watch them grow together and see how their story unfolds was truly refreshing. To witness how each brother falls for Jillian and proves just how much they love her is just unbelievable.

This is by far a very hot story with a touch of sadness, a mix of hot tempers and some serious loving. Oh and did I mention... some serious hot sex!!! This is a great story to lose yourself in for a day or two. Especially if you are fantasizing about what it's like to have three brothers all to yourself... Welcome to Jillian's world!

Let's Welcome A New Author... Melody Monroe

 Ladies and Gentlemen of the Hussy Lair

I want you to put together a warm welcome for a new author.

Please welcome....

Ms. Melody Monroe

I allowed her free range of the Lair today and here is what she has to say... Enjoy!

Thank you so much, Cecile, for inviting me to blog. It’s the first one I’ve ever done and am a little nervous about getting it right. She said I could write about anything, and I thought I’d talk about my wonderfully exciting, whirlwind experience with Siren publishing in the last three months.

I retired in June from teaching, and since May, Siren Publishing has accepted 6 of my books, and I just sent in a 7th! All but the first are Menage Everlasting books. (To become an Everlasting Author, I had to agree to a 5-yr contract in which I would only write for Siren. Easy decision, as there is no other place I’d rather be.) I had the first story I sold completed beforehand, as it was a romantic suspense that I turned into a M/F Classic, but the rest I wrote from scratch. Talk about writing non-stop.

I had always imagined getting published by a print house. I knew there were erotic e-publishers, but I didn’t write erotica.  I was a plot-oriented writer who tended to shy away from emotional stories. (Boy, have I changed since then). I’ve been a member of RWA and two Florida chapters for 11 years, learning the craft, learning the business and making contacts. Once the e-book explosion occurred, several of my New York Times best selling authors regaled with what I called, “horror stories.” Print runs were being cut and books bought were going down.

A dear friend, Lara Santiago, also a Siren author with 29 books, told me to try writing for Siren. She said the process was wonderful. So, I spiced up my book and sent it in. Voila. I got a contract. I knew VERDICT wasn’t as hot as they would have liked, so I decided to dip my toe in the sexy waters and try Polyamour (two or more men with one woman, but not ménage material). I wrote three and sent them all in, thinking that if they got three in one email, that they would know I could write a series. Within two weeks, they accepted those. No sooner was I celebrating, when I got a call from the CEO herself, saying I could make twice as much if I wrote ménage. Would I be interested in revamping those three books? I said sure.

Next, I had to do some quick research on ménage. Yikes. They were a lot more sensual. But I put on my big girl panties and wrote like a fiend. I changed those three stories and added two more. Those became THE FANTASY RESORT series, in which a woman goes to a resort and her fantasies come true. There are lots of naked men, too!

After speaking with the CEO, I also learned that readers are quick to forget you. I’m thinking, they don’t even know me yet. The first of the Fantasy Series, THREE HIRED LOVERS doesn’t come out until Sept 24th. Anyway, she said to aim for one book a month, or maybe two. (Was she crazy?) She said 35,000 words is a good length, as a book of that length was long enough to address the romance as well as the sex. She seemed very focused on the love story.

Oh, yeah, and she urged me not to write in more than one genre as the readers might not cross over. So, starting Sept 24th, I should have a book come out every two weeks for 3 months. Let’s hope I’m found!

If you want to see more details about the Fantasy Resort series, visit me at www.melodymonroe.com. My next series is called PLEASURE, MONTANA. I’m hoping to write a 12-book series!

I hope you enjoyed her visit because Tuesday,

I will be reviewing her

Fantasy Series - Three Hired Lovers Tuesday.
