Hot Inspiration (LoveXtreme)
A Bride for Eight Brothers 5

Professional Reviews

RECOMMENDED READ: "Note: Abby Blake's A Bridge for Eight Brothers is a six part collection of books that is not intended as standalone novels. Each installment is a continuation of the pervious book and MUST be read in numerical released order. Each book may end on a cliffhanger note; however, there is a happy-for-now for Mikayla and one or more of her men. The final book contains a happily forever after for everyone. Mikayla and her eight husband's latest job quest landed them on a moderately civilized desert planet. But it soon became apparent to the Davidson's brothers that while polygamy was legal, the male population had multiple wives and were free to mistreat them if so desired. So Mikayla's husbands convinced her to limit her time out in the public and to always be accompanied by two or more of her husband's. As luck would have it, Bryce's damaged leg could be completely repaired on the desert planet. The not so good news was while waiting for Bryce to awaken from his surgery, Lachlan stopped a man from publically battering his very young wife, which immediately endangered his life. Has Lachlan's selfless act to protect an innocent young woman brought total destruction to the Davidson brother's happiness with Mikayla or have the men already lost Mikayla to her miscarriage depression? I hate to sound like a broken record; however, Abby Blake's A Bride for Eight Brother series is so awesome. I am completely caught up in a mini soap opera! With each new release, Ms. Blake brings an exciting new plot that has me vigorously turning page after page, eager to discover how the storyline will unfold. In the fifth edition, Hot Inspiration, danger and mayhem were key factors along with each husbands desire to restore Mikayla back into the bright, feisty, independent woman that she use to be. The passionate BDSM scene between Mikayla, Brock and Lachlan was highly intense and just what Mikayla needed to recover from her deep miscarriage depression. I applaud Brock and Lachlan for treading in a dominantly edgy, yet tenderly fashion to recapture Mikayla's heart. Whew! I must say that out of the four previous reads, Hot Inspiration was my all time favorite. This is one collection not to be missed! This series is not for the faint of heart as the storyline contains ménage encounters and BDSM play." -- Contessa, Fallen Angel Reviews

4.5 CHERRIES: "Abby Blake’s intriguing world, filled with unconventional families, strange creatures and hot hunks has continued to fascinate me. No ice, no ‘mouse tears’, and no raiders appearing in the middle of the night. Mikayla and her husbands have accepted their latest contract on a reasonably civilized desert planet. But the husbands are worried, because Mikayla just isn’t herself, but no one can figure out just what it is that is ‘off’ about her. After an unusually intense session with Lachlan and Brock dominating her, Mikayla finally realizes that she barely recognizes the woman she has become, and starts on the road to recovering her personality. Although polygamy is legal on this new planet, it seems it is only acceptable for the men to have more than one partner. When strange occurrences and missing women come to the attention of Mikayla and her husbands, the leaders of the fanatic religious sect on the planet set out to frame her men for murder. After rescuing a seventeen year old from her abusive husband, the husbands get the two women off the planet and back to Earth, hiding the young woman until protection can be arranged. Can they keep Mikayla and the teen safe back on Earth? Can they turn the tables and expose the terrible things happening on the planet in the name of ‘religion’? And what will the reaction be to Mikayla’s surprise announcement? Hot Inspiration is the latest in this serial story, and, like the first four, combines intrigue, danger and scorching hot sex in a way that keeps the reader on edge. Add to that the determination of eight men wanting to see their wife back to normal, and you have a layer of passion that reaches past any seen so far. Mikayla is still recovering from the miscarriage, and is also afraid she is a disappointment to her men. She doesn’t realize how far she has withdrawn from them, until her two Doms, Lachlan and Brock, take her closer to the edge than they ever have. It is this intense experience that finally shows her how much her men love and need her, and finally starts her recovery to her old sassy and independent self. The passion of the session between the three was one of the most explosive and yet tender scenes in the story. I love all of Mikayla’s husbands, but this peek into the emotions of Lachlan and Brock, the two strongest Dominants in the family shows a deeper layer of their concern for their wife. I liked that, even though they were harder on Mikayla than they had ever been, you could see that every step was breaking their hearts. They weren’t trying to hurt her, but they all, every single one of them, wanted the woman that they fell in love with back. If that took going to extremes, then they were determined to do what was necessary. There were two secondary threads here-Bryce’s surgery to repair his injuries, and the rescue of the young girl, resulting in the exposure of the fanatical religious murders of the women on the desert planet. Both stories were part of the actions that ultimately brought Mikayla back to ‘fighting form’ and out of her shell for good. I enjoyed the way she was able to come up with the perfect protection for the vulnerable and innocent young woman, and the way she just kept expanding her family. I am looking forward to the sixth, and final, episode of this serial, and the reaction to Mikayla’s amazing pronouncement at the end of this one. What was that, you ask? I guess you’ll need to read these books to find out. But beware, this series is highly addictive, and scorching hot." -- Foxglove, Whipped Cream Reviews

Excerpt

STORY EXCERPT

Within the hour, they were in the flying pod headed into town. According to the descriptions her husbands had given her, it wasn’t exactly a thriving metropolis. It did contain many small tourist retreats and family-run businesses, and from what she understood, the local hospital was quite well provisioned. Mikayla really hoped they could help Bryce.

She knew exactly why he hesitated to get his leg fixed. She’d been lying in his arms more than once when he’d had the nightmare, reliving the day when Matt had been shot by an assassin who’d mistaken him for Bryce. Mikayla hadn’t been hurt, but it was as if Bryce’s worst fears played out in his dreams. Each time he’d had the nightmare, she’d soothed him with quiet words and gentle touches until he’d either fallen back to sleep or grabbed her and made love to her like he couldn’t quite believe she was still with him.

Today he seemed to be in a little more pain than usual, and she wondered if his muscles were tensing up from stress. It was obvious he really didn’t want to spend any more time in hospital.

They arrived early for Bryce’s appointment, so they had time to wander through the market stalls. Mikayla soaked up the atmosphere. As much as she loved living at the station with her husbands, it was a very isolating experience. Hopefully, Tracey and her husbands would visit them on this planet soon. They’d originally planned to visit them on the jungle planet, but with the mouse tears pheromone, it had simply been too dangerous. After the fucked-up laws on the ice planet and the messed-up effects of nature on the jungle planet, it was quite a relief to find a planet that could almost be considered normal.

Well, normal in an alien sort of way. Some of the creatures they’d been studying were downright grotesque. One small snake-like critter they’d found had so many internal fluid pouches that it looked like a pile of bubbles until it started to move really fast. Fortunately, the bubble-snake, as Mikayla had called it, was quite timid and more likely to move away when it moved really, really fast. Another creature they’d found had dozens of hollow legs, all capable of carrying water. A couple of beetle-like creatures seemed to survive without any water at all.

In the center of the market, several food stalls had been set up. It was strange to see something that looked like barbecued chicken sitting next to roasted bubble-snake in the windows. As adventurous as Mikayla tried to be when faced with new cultures and gastronomical delights, she was quite ready to draw the line at roasted bubble-snake.

Her men shuffled her toward a women’s clothing stall, and she quickly found herself inundated with suggestions on what they could buy for her. It seemed a little silly to buy heaps of clothes when she spent practically every moment inside the environmentally controlled science station. Add that to the fact that she had eight husbands who mostly preferred for her to be naked, and her need for pretty clothes was rather small.

She ended up buying another loose fitting pantsuit similar to the one she wore to the markets. With the sun so hot, it was necessary to cover every piece of skin to avoid severe sunburn, but since she was rarely in the sun, two outfits were plenty. She did, however, notice Ryan and Ty purchase a handful of soft, filmy scarves, and she had a moment to wonder what they had in mind before Bryce and Matt hustled her to the next stall.

“Scoooz me,” a young child said as she ran up and tugged on Mikayla’s shirt, “are you a p’incess?” Mikayla smiled at the gorgeous little darling. She was maybe four or five Earth years old with a head full of golden curls that not even her sunhat could tame.

“Sorry, sweetie pie, I’m just a regular girl, not a princess.”

“Oh,” the child said looking very disappointed. “I thought you was a p’incess coz you got so many guards.” Mikayla wanted to smile at the child’s adorable expression but didn’t want to upset her so managed to keep a serious face.

“No, sorry, no guards, just my overprotective husbands.”

“Husbands? How many you got?” the child asked with disbelief. Before Mikayla could answer, the little girl’s face scrunched into annoyance. “You only alloweda ‘ave one.”

ADULT EXCERPT

Gloriously naked, Bryce dipped his head and captured her lips with his own. It started out a gentle caress but quickly morphed into heated passion. Matt pressed up against her back, peppering soft kisses against her neck, his hands roaming over her hips, his cock gently brushing against her ass.

Matt broke the kiss, turned her around and caressed her neck and shoulders as his brother claimed her in a devastating lip-lock of his own. Her knees wobbled as the three of them finally lowered into the warm water.

Though small in size, the rock pool was surprisingly deep in the middle, and Mikayla found herself clinging to Matt’s neck as he stood in the deepest part. She wrapped her legs around him and could feel his erection nestled against her pussy. “Is that for me?” she asked with a broad smile.

“Always,” Matt replied as Bryce pressed up to her back, and she felt his cock brush against her anus. Matt kissed her softly, leisurely running his tongue over her lips, seeking entrance to her mouth. She opened for him, sucking hard against him, feeling more relaxed than she had in weeks.

“I love you,” she whispered when they finally broke apart.

“I love you, too,” Matt said seriously, “and if you ever forget it again we are all going to take turns spanking your beautiful ass.” Her butt cheeks clenched at his threat, accidentally caressing Bryce’s cock.

He groaned softly and bit her earlobe before whispering, “That wasn’t supposed to turn you on.”

She giggled at his teasing. She knew they meant what they said, but since she had no intention of forgetting how much her men loved her, there was little chance of all eight of them spanking her on the same day. Although…

Both of her men groaned when she shuddered and her ass and pussy pulsed with excitement. “Wench,” Bryce teased as he took her from Matt’s embrace. Matt turned to the shallower side of the pool, lifted himself onto the edge and held his arms open for Mikayla. With Bryce’s help, she quickly crawled over Matt’s big body and tried to lower her throbbing pussy onto his erect cock.

But he held her still, trapping her against him so that his delicious erection was pressed against her belly. She growled in frustration until she felt something cold touch her anus. Despite how many times the three of them had done this, Bryce had never taken her ass, and the thrill of finally joining with him in that way wound through her lower body. She wriggled in anticipation as he massaged the lubricant into her back passage. He stopped when she gasped at the incredible sensation, but Matt was quick to reassure his brother.

Mikayla could feel her pussy beginning to throb as her excitement ramped higher. Without thought, she began to squirm against Matt, trying to get closer, trying to ease the arousal she was feeling. Bryce removed his fingers and a moment later replaced them with the head of his cock. Matt held her down, pressing her hard against him, refusing to let her move.

Bryce grasped her hips, pulling her closer as his cock eased into her back passage. She moaned with relief when he pumped harder, pushing deeper, thrusting into her heat as she whimpered and kissed his brother.

Matt’s hands roamed over her back and neck, his fingers finally threading through her hair as he mastered her with his kiss. Carefully, Bryce thrust into her ass, pulled back slowly, and then rammed into her again. Over and over he claimed her dark hole, his cock stretching her, filling her, his movements rubbing her engorged clit against Matt’s hard cock. She started to shake all over, her breathing labored, her excitement nearly overwhelming. She moaned as Bryce fucked her over and over and over.
