I LOVED THIS - I was so shocked when the beginning just .. ended (yes I don't read descriptions) but then it went to each persons perspective (most of the players anyway) and I was in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were some amazingly well written stories (and 2 that I didn't like) and I just, I needed more, Bene is now one of my top favourite authors I've read - so gooooooooood I can't even express ( )

The Black Light is the hottest, most exclusive sex club in Washington D.C. The owners, Jax, Chase, and Emma are very familiar with the need to have a safe and private place to play and indulge their kinks. That's why they opened the Black Light. It has a strict NDA and what happens in the club stays in the club, or else. Last Valentine's Day they had a Roulette event that randomly matched Doms and subs to each other and then gave them random kinks. This year, they have the Redux event, and have opened it up to more Doms and subs and put even more kinks on the roulette wheel.

For this year's event, 9 kinky authors have gotten together to bring us 9 kinky stories full of domination, submission, spanking, bondage, exploration, and enjoyment. We get to see a little bit of everything from our players, and get to enjoy all the dark and delicious things that happen. The book starts and ends with Jax, Chase, and Emma, written by Livia Grant and Jennifer Bene. That ties each of the stories together and makes it a cohesive whole, and turns 9 stories that all take place in one 3 hour time slot into one book. One of the things that I like about these stories is that the introduction gets all the couples set up and certain events happen, and in the stories, you still see those certain events happening, but you get them from the POV of the featured couple. It really emphasizes that all these stories are happening simultaneously.

Jennifer Bene and Livia Grant-Introduction and Conclusion

These are the bookends that get us ready for the stories and then wrap up everything nicely. I like them both, except for one thing that left me hanging, and I'm dying to see if what I think is happening is really happening. Make sure that you read all the stories before you read the conclusion or you are going to get some spoilery spoilers.

Jennifer Bene-Unrestrained 5*

Bianca is excited about this year's Roulette event. She missed last year's, but had heard really great things about it. She's looking for a Dom who can really give her a run for her money, one who can give her what she needed, and one who can control her. Silas is looking to at least get one good night from a sub at this year's event. He doesn't currently have a sub, but as a sadist, he's looking for someone who is a masochist as well as a sub because he needs someone who can handle the pain he wants to hand out. Neither of them knew what they were getting into.

Jennifer Bene writes some filthy stories that draw you in and leave you wanting. This one is no different. You are right there with Bianca and Silas as they spend their 3 hours exploring each other and their limits.

Livia Grant-Brat 4.5*

Gabriella is a socialite who is used to getting her own way. Right now she wants to have some money out of her trust fund, which means that she has to go to see her trustee. He has to approve any money until she gets control of her trust fund. But when she gets to the office, she finds out that her trustee has started to retire and has handed everything over to his son Connor. Connor, who has always been a thorn in her side and has always treated her like a little sister and will never see her as an adult. When she finds an invite to the Roulette Redux event, she steals it so that she can prove she's an adult. Connor is just tired of dealing with Gabriella's attitude, so when he sees her at Black Light and rolls her name, he definitely doesn't feel like she's a younger sister.

Livia is devious here. I love what she did with Gabriella and Connor. The story is hot and everything that happens is very appropriate for the dynamic these two had before the event.

Renee Rose-Forced 5*

Mariana has come down to DC to visit her little sister for Valentine's Day, only to discover that she is going to go to a kinky sex club. Mari is worried, so she decides that she'll sign up for it and go to. Mari's biggest problem? She's not a sub. Victor sees a beautiful woman walking up to the entrance to the club and there's just something about her. She says she's there to play, but she sure doesn't seem like a sub. He's lucky enough to roll her name, and get to find out more about her.

Oh my, this was a very forceful story and one that was just very Renee Rose. Victor gets in under your skin and keeps you wanting more, while Mariana's journey is very exciting and keeps you guessing as to what she's going through and how she's feeling. This is a heckuva dynamic and a heckuva story.

Sue Lyndon-Doctored 4.25*

Natalie tries very hard to stay hidden and out of the public eye. She had more than enough of that when she was younger and caused a huge scandal. These days, she works very hard at her job and hides when she can. When she sees Hunter Knox's name on a list of guests for a ball that her company is putting on, she gets excited because she has had a huge crush on him for years. Hunter has noticed that all the subs he takes look similar to the beautiful young Natalie, who has lived in his fantasy world for years.

There is some great medical play in this one and if you had never thought that it was hot and sexy, this story and Sue Lyndon will definitely change your mind and make you want to give it the old college try.

Maren Smith-Shameless 5*

Hadlee used to love being a sub and took great joy from it. Then she got caught in a bad D/s relationship and her joy and self-esteem left her. Now she's trying to get that part of herself back, and Roulette should help her do that. Gareth has been watching her for months and they have developed a friendship. Now he has to watch her play with someone else. As a DM, he can't participate in the event. But when Noah rolls her name and asks for help, all the rules get thrown out of the window.

This story is really interesting. I really liked it a lot. There are also all kinds of subplots going on, which is pretty cool because it's a short story. Maren is a tease when it comes to this one though. I can't wait for what comes next, because it's going to be dark and interesting, I'm sure.

Alta Hensley-Edge 4*

Dean and Melinda have a long history together. He was her Dom before she abruptly left him and ran away to get married. Now that her divorce is final, she's ready to get back to that submissive side of her. Black Light's Roulette event is perfect. When she gets partnered with Dean and they draw a form of play that takes an extreme amount of trust, what's going to happen with the two of them?

OMG, while the sex is hot here, the real part of the story is the exploration of submission and trust. That part is breathtaking and makes the entire story. Don't get me wrong, I liked the sex, but I loved the rest of it.

Measha Stone-Confessions 4*

When Dani's brother was killed in action, she inherited his buddies. They promised to take care of her. So when Grayson finds out that Dani visits sex clubs, he gets after her because he doesn't approve of those clubs. It's almost hypocritical because he visits clubs too, but only Black Light. When Dani shows up at Black Light on Valentine's Day, Gray is shocked and tries to make her leave. When he rolls her name, he wants to make sure that she learns her lesson.

This one has a quite a zap in it, and it is an impressive story. It is a very Measha story because it's very hot and makes you really want to be in the middle of the story because you end up jealous of the characters.

Maggie Ryan-Surrender 4.5*

Marty participated in the first event, and while she had fun, she didn't find something that she needed. Maybe this year will be different, so she merrily goes to Black Light with her best friend and her husband. Her BFF's brother-in-law is there too. Owen is a Dom and master shibarist, but Marty gets on his nerves. There is one big reason for that. She has a habit of topping from the bottom. She runs right over other Doms. Owen is tired of it. Tonight he's going do something about it, even if he's not officially playing Roulette.

I love the scenes they do, and I love that we get to see a master shibarist at work. Too bad we don't have pictures of his work, because that would be totally awesome. Marty takes some hard lessons, but she and Owen make it through the event.

Jane Henry-Taken 4.5*

Della is controlled. Very, very, very controlled. That's the only way she survives her life. She's also a sex columnist. When she hears about the Roulette Redux event, she decides to sign up for it, and signs up as a sub. She's really worried it and almost backs out. Being a sub means she's going to have to give up control. She gets there and realizes that Brayden is one of the Doms, and she really hopes that he doesn't roll her name. When Brayden sees that Della, his ex-wife, is there, he's not sure whether to hope he gets her or hope he doesn't. When he does roll his name, he knows that they are going to have a lot of things they need to work through.

This is a great second chance story. I have a deep and personal love for second chance stories, and this one really made me happy and was a great way to end all our events. The epilogue gave me a huge smile.

These are great stories, and a good way to get ready for Valentine's Day, no matter how you are spending it or whom you are spending it with. You're going to be able to read it anytime though, and I'm planning on reading it back to back with the first anthology, and really hope that there is another one next year. ( )

Two words to describe this collection of novellas== HOLY. TITFIRE. I am pretty sure my iPad almost melted. For the review I am going to write it in the order of the anthology rather than the order of my favorites.

Introduction and conclusion written by Livia Grant and Jennifer Bene

4.5 stars
One of my favorite things about this anthology and its predecessor is the details it takes in setting up the stage so to speak. It offers a fluidity in the story. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the characters from before that are all essential players in making this night happen. I especially love that they show what the hard limits were/are and what they get instead I loved that they tie up loose ends that have all been interwoven in the standalone stories. My only complaint in this case was I still need to know more about what is going on with Chase, Jaxson, and Emily. I would love another story of them!

Unrestrained by Jennifer Bene

4.6 stars.
This was one of my favorite stories. I need a Silas in my life. It is the story of Silas and Bianca. I loved that Silas, known for being sadistic, shows a side to him that is caring and protective (the OJ and aftercare scene and the checking to make sure that everything was okay when there was a major disturbance). Their second scene was hotter than Hades. Who am I kidding? They were all hot as hell. These two had amazing chemistry.

Brat by Livia Grant

4.5 stars
I loved the introduction to these characters before they became partners at the club. It helped give dimension to the story and let the reader know what was behind their animosity. I loved when Gabriella was trying to figure out the acronym meaning when she was walking to the costume room. This is something I myself didn't know so it was a new thing to read about. The author did a great job explaining things. I loved watching both Gabriella and Connor as they came to turns with how they really felt about each other, especially Connor. I would love to know more about the issues behind Gabriella and her father in a future story. There was so much more room for a full-length story.

Forced by Renee Rose

4.9 stars
My favorite of the anthology and considering that every story was amazing that says something. Victor and Mariana (Brooklyn) were so hot together. To the point that if they got anymore hotter they would have combusted. That second scene was EVERYTHING. I loved the after effects and emotions that created a war in Mariana’s mind as she vacillated with how she could like something that goes against every idea of what a woman wants, needs, and deserves. How do you balance between what your body likes and what society says is acceptable? I definitely know that I struggle with this, so it was refreshing to see the author expand on this idea. Victor does a good job on articulating his feelings on this and helps her understand that she is not wrong for liking what she likes.

Doctored by Sue Lindon

4.6 stars
This was a story that intrigued me because it was another area that fascinates me, but I do not know as much about. The author did a great job with showcasing why trust is such an essential part of BDSM especially in that first scene. For so many women that first scene is such an uncomfortable position to be in (even though necessary). Natalie and Knox had a lot of past feelings that needed to be addressed and it was nice to see them discover each other after a long five years. These two had an intimacy to their story and I immediately connected with them.

Shameless by Maren Smith

4.7 stars
This story, while it did not my favorite of all the roulette scenes, was my second favorite of the collection. Although, the shower scene after the time was up WAS one of my favorites (can I just swoon now at how nurturing and protective that Garreth was?). Hadlee. Sweet lord the things that this girl was trying to overcome with her previous master. I loved how the author worked in the dynamic of how Noah and Garreth worked in tandem in their scenes (the first scene was powerful as hell and if I closed my eyes I could see every connected hit and mark. I, also enjoyed the “pep” talk between Noah and Garreth in the end. I am beyond ecstatic that this book will be a full story this year because there was so much to be expanded on with the menagerie.

Edge by Alta Hensley

4.5 stars
The characters, Dean and Melinda, knew each other before. They had a past that needed to be addressed. I loved that author addressed those feelings. I floved that Dean took control rather than, “testing the fates and seeing where [it] land[ed]” by allowing them to do things at their pace and to establish that trust again. This was important considering what their first spin was. Without doing this I am not sure the story would have worked as well as it did. Dean did a great job of building up Melinda’s self esteem after losing her identity in her previous relationship.

Confessions by Measha Stone

4.5 stars
I loved the backstory to this story. It gave it a different dimension to hidden desires and loving someone that you thought was unattainable for a plethora of reasons. I loved the moments when Grayson and Dani struggled with their feelings for each other, feelings that had been there for years but never addressed for fear of the domino effect that it could possibly have in their lives. The first scene had me fanning myself. It was pretty intense. I wish there would have been more of an explanation of Scott and why he had to drop out to care for his sub. I would love to see more of these characters. All of them.

Surrender by Maggie Ryan

4.6 stars
This novella takes the student teacher role play to a whole new level. HOT. AND that combines second/third scene, sweet lawd above. If that scene didn’t make you hot and bothered than I am convinced you must be a robot. I loved that Owen finally got to show his true feelings for Marty. Especially as these feelings had been building for along time. I like that Marty finally got to see herself as beautiful after so long of being an anomaly as a woman who was the height of a man. Society is so cruel when it comes to what it thinks beauty is.

Taken by Jane Henry

4.5 stars
These two. Talk about unresolved feelings. They take Hate F@&%Ng to a whole new level. I loved that the author took the time to build on this and slowly progress to the reasons why it was the way it was before they found their HEA again. This was important and led to a story with fluidity. I really wanted to know more about these two because they intrigued me. I love it when exes get together and especially loved Brayden and Della.

I would HIGHLY recommend this anthology. I would also read this entire series or at the very least the Black Light Valentine Roulette Anthology. Huge congrats to all the authors on this exceptional collection of stories.
