​Well, this is the sunset issue -- much to my disappointment. Some of my favorite columns are gone. However, it is nice to see that all the staff are spreading wings and pursuing related passions. Find out more when you open to the first few pages of this issue. :-)

Now onto the bulk of the material... If you haven't figured out yet from the cover, then check again. Yes, horror, thriller, suspense, mystery, sci-fi/paranormal--this issue of BTS eMag has plenty of scary escapes for you.

Among the usual columns, you'll also hear from Tammy King, founder of Night Owl Reviews; read a tantalizing three-book feature excerpts from romance author Rebecca Heflin and Sara Walter Ellwood; and of course many ads that showcase promising reads for sale, including the USA Today Bestselling Hero to Obey.

As with past issues, you'll find reviews for different genres to give you a taste of the diversity of books out there. Thank you, BTS eMag, for the gap you filled for authors and readers. Best wishes!

About Kinky Love Notes

Pictures are often painted with words. Lust, love, desire, and kink are no exception. Instead of lines and lines of prose to express need and want, Kayla Lords uses simple poetry. Within these pages, you'll find haikus, couplets, and free verse with one thing in common: notes of the sensuous pleasure, kinky fun, and power exchange found between a Dominant and a submissive.

Review by Jacintha Topaz

This is a sizzling HOT book in a new-to-me genre I've never had the pleasure until now to review. Boy, am I glad I got to review it! 

Lords' work first bleeped on my screen with Madame Gretchen. Since then, I've been hooked enough to expand my genre reading habits to include ... well, to my pleasant surprise, erotic poetry.

Onto the good stuff -- btw, it's ALL good. The cover image already hit some buttons. By the time I got to the dedication page, I was totally SUCKED IN. Who wouldn't be? When Lords write "I love you, Daddy" and Daddy responds in bold text: 

I love you, too, babygirl.
Now show me what's mine.

The book is split into four sections: Self Pleasure, Mutual Pleasure, Rough Love, Dominant and Submissive. Every section has its own teaser image. The first image to hit off Self Pleasure is a thick-thighed woman in high heels. Nice to see alternative models -- perfect for BBW fans. The next image, once again fitfully paired for the section, kicks off Mutual Pleasure by featuring a couple in positions that scream hierarchy, top/bottom. For the Rough Love section is the flogger behind a man's back. The hottest image, hands down (for me), is the last image that accompanies the Dominant and Submissive section. You'll have to get the book to see it. :-)

If each picture is worth more than a thousand words, then I'd be happy to report that the words that Lords strings so skillfully broadcasts even more. Yes, if you look at this "little" book and only size it up based on the word count, then you're missing the point. This book is jam-PACKED with goodies, intimate notes that you'd WANT to share with yours. 

Overall, a highly recommended read. Five FAN-tastic Stars!!!

Excerpt from Kinky Love Notes

The Things You Do To Me

Waiting patiently
For you. Hot and wet, dripping.
Anticipating.

You make me feel things
In every nerve ending.
Don't stop. Give me more.

You belong to me.
The taste of you imprinted
On my tongue always.
