Erotica. MMF and then some. BDSM. Sadism etc. etc.
Almost like a Reverse Harem but NOT!
Absolutely loved it when I read it. Probably the only series that is 'Sports' themed that I really enjoy.
You will find lots of editing errors. And Yes, I should deduct stars for that. But I don't care. It kept me completely engrossed and wondering what the hell was going to happen next. So even with some writing problems, I enjoyed it way to much to deduct points.

Beware the warnings in the synopsis.

Hockey and hot sex - could you really ask for more?

I picked up this book several years ago and sat down to read it for a sports related challenge. It wound up being a very disappointing read. Oriana, while having a very unique name, was too mixed up for my tastes, even in a BDSM heroine. Her Doms also ran the range of emotions for me, and I couldn't understand why she needed or wanted 3 different Doms. I also felt she embraced her inner slut a little too much, blurring the line from lady that enjoyed kink to actual slut. While I didn't completely hate it, I also didn't get much enjoyment from it, not even a mild titillation. This is one I'll be deleting from my Kindle library and abandoning the series.

What I read from the summary, I expected to have gotten more than I did. I just wasn't feeling it, for some reason. I will give her a star for effort and the second star is simply because I felt bad about rating it one star.

Oriana seems to be like one of those little girls playing dress-up in mommy's clothes. You know the one playing in mommy's make-up while she's out. Yeah, I felt like she wasn't mature enough to take on the type of relationship she was seeking out. Even after her dad continuously rejected her, she kept coming back like a kicked puppy. I liked Silver, but we didn't get nearly enough of her as I would have liked. Silver just seems more like me. The fact Oriana had to look to her sister for guidance baffled me a little bit, even disturbed me at times. You would think the older sibling would have their shit together so they can give advice to the younger sibling and not the other way around.

I found Oriana to be weak, to be honest. She pretty much lived her life the way her father and Paul wanted her to live it. How long had she done this until she decided she wasn't happy with the way things were going? What didn't sit right with me was the way she treated Tyler. She knew she wasn't interested in him, but she constantly toyed with him like it was going out of style.

Another thing that ticked me off was the fact that she would refer to some of the characters by last name. There was a section towards the end of the story where Tim and Dean Richter were both in the same scene and she only referenced their last name. I had to go back to see which one was ushering them to his office. I never figured it out until she stated his first name towards the end of said scene.

I felt the development of her and Max's relationship was lacking. I was under the impression that her and his relationship was at the top of this hierarchy, then she would have little trysts with the others when the mood struck. I didn't even expect that initially, to be blunt. I assumed the story would have been centered around her and Max more than it was. Honestly, Max's desires weren't nearly as sick as one would be led to believe from reading the summary. His desires were a little bland and lackluster. Sloan was the only one at the opposite end of the kinky freak spectrum from everyone else.

I can read this novel time and again. Though some of the scenes don't seem too realistic, it is still a great read!

This book is kinky, sizzling, and overall HOT!

Oriana will do just about anything to make her father happy, including staying in a lack luster relationship and denying herself the man she really wants. That is until she walks in on her boyfriend sleeping with another woman. Oriana is then swept into the arms of not one man that will cherish her, but four with all sorts of kinks. Vanilla Oriana is swept into a life of submission, pain, but more than anything love.

Most books involving BDSM that I've read have a never hard feeling to them with little emotion shown between the hero and heroine. This book however has a very sweet feel to it while still keeping the feel of a D/s relationship. This book is full of scorching sex and involves pretty much any kink you can think of. If you're squeamish about anal, orgies, or BDSM this book might not be for you. However, if you love kinky stories, this one surely won't disappoint.

While I absolutely loved this book, I thought that the ending could have been a bit stronger. Sommerland did a decent job of tying up several loose ends in the last chapter but I was hoping for just a bit more. With that said, I'll be reading the next installment of the Darthmouth Cobras and hopefully I'll find my answers there.

Thank God I didn't pay for this book or I would have been cross with myself. Absolutely no plot. Very confusing throughout due to the author going from forename to surname for the characters and back again. Just dreadful.

This review is tough for me. I didn't like the book, it's not because of the writing or the characters, although Sommerland jumps straight into having five guys around and alternates between referring to them by the last and first names which had me very confused. Hell I was still confused even when there was only three guys.
But that's not why I didn't like it. The BDSM aspects of this novel where a lot more hard core than I felt comfortable with.

I wrote this because I rate honestly and bad ratings deserve a reason. I am going to read the next one with Oriana's sister Silver but I'm not sure how I'll like it.

3.5 stars

Wow! This book was just Wow! I think this is the most sexually-charged book I've ever read (there's a consensual gang bang in it for goodness sake!) It's full of menages, some bdsm and just plain old HOT sex! The storyline was actually very good as well. I'm totally not a menage person, but this was written in a way where it really didn't bother me (except in a hot way!), so that's saying something. I look forward to reading the next book in the series which has even better ratings--don't know if that's because of all of the people who automatically give a book 5 stars as soon as they hear it's going to be released or because people love it, but I read enough reviews to convince me to continue on, even though it's another menage storyline. I'm hoping that eventually one of the books will be m/f but if they're all as good as Game Misconduct, I'll keep reading no matter what!
