Mia's Books by Tabitha Rayne


Over Christmas, I was thrilled to receive an email from the lovely Tabitha Rayne to say i'd been the very lucky winner of her advent competition. The prize was a copy of Mia's Books.

I'd finished reading the Fifty Shades Trilogy and was at a loose end as to what to read next ....especially after really getting a taste for erotic fiction! When I saw the comp pop up I thought this could certainly help keep me entertained for a while and I wasn't left disappointed.

Mia's Books is a short story based on a young girl called Mia who suffers from severe insomnia. Whilst others are sleeping, Mia is often wide awake and in need of something to pass the time. Her solution, books!

In her own unique way (you'll have to read it to see how), Mia manages to get her hands on a library book which holds a little secret of its own. She goes from being a quiet, reserved young girl who barely manages to raise her head let alone a smile, to a confident young woman with a great sexual appetite who's being torn between two lovers .....one of whom is a ghost!

Will Mia enjoy the fruits of her labor and continue her love affair with both, or will matters complicate themselves forcing her to choose between them? You gotta read it!!

I wasn't really sure what to expect when I began reading this as Fifty Shades was probably the first book of erotic fiction i'd ever read, and although I really enjoyed the steamy storyline, I found that it wasn't exactly well written!

Mia's Books however was a whole new ball game .....there's sex aplenty and no unnecessary babble. The storyline is kept short and interesting which made it very hard to put down once I got going, and the odd added twists were unexpected and made it all the more exciting. I really loved the paranormal element of this as it added a whole new dimension and the sex descriptive was far better than i'd read in the Fifty Shades books. I could actually visualize everything I was reading and absolutely loved it!!

To read an excerpt, click here .....you know you want to!
If after reading that you're left wanting more click Mia's Books to buy and don't forget to stop by Tabitha's fantastic blog too!

Many thanks to Tabitha for sending me this in the first place and even opening my eyes a little!

All opinions are my own.

Prolific Pleasure from Aphrodite's Gift

Quite some months ago now, I was lucky enough to win a very interesting toy from Aphrodite's Gift over on twitter. Although it wasn't a requirement of the competition, I have decided to review it on my blog.

When I received my prize, I was gobsmacked at how appealing it looked ...i've had less interesting toys for review, so to win one was amazing! Curious?? Here's what I got .....

Prolific Pleasure
Prolific Pleasure boasts of being 100% Silicone meaning it's non-toxic, allergy proof, odourless, chemical resistant, water repellent, heat stable, dishwasher safe and highly durable .....not bad eh!!

The packaging for me was perfect. You can see exactly what you're getting and there's even a little hole on the front of the packaging which has a small ball of the vibe material poking through so you can have a good feel before buying ...

Feel before you buy
There's also a detailed section on the back of the packaging showing each of the 10 yes, you heard right, 10 functions!!

10 available functions
To gain access to your new toy, simply slide off the outer sleeve and hey presto ....


Once inside the box, you'll not only find your new toy and an instruction leaflet, but this gorgeous pastel vibe comes complete with it's own lilac bag to keep it safe from prying eyes ...

Complete with velvety feel bag
The thing that makes this vibe that bit extra special is the fact that it contains not 1 but 2 vibrating bullets!! The first of these can be found in the little 'clit tickler' to give it that bit extra oomph ...and my word it certainly delivers. The second can be found in the slightly angled tip of the vibe, ensuring that the vibrations are sent direct to your gspot. Prolific Pleasure is 6.5" of pure pleasure and has a slightly twisted effect part way down the shaft .....


The clit tickler has flexible ears which are very soft but with the added vibration, they give a lovely fluttering sensation which is sure to get you stirring. The feel of the whole thing is slightly velvety and really inviting. It's slightly squishy making it one of the most comfortable vibes i've ever had the pleasure of using. Due to this vibe having 10 different functions ranging from pulsating to a strong continuous vibration, it really does have something for everyone and for me personally, every one of the 10 functions served a different purpose but all had me writhing in ecstasy.

The vibe requires 2AA batteries which are easily inserted into the base ....



Operating this vibe is also really simple ...just push the button!


The bottom one is obviously the on/off button and the other is to flick your way through the available vibrations.

I absolutely loved this! The extra bullet in the tip really does give this the edge and better still, it's not scary in size. I found this extremely easy and exciting to use and didn't mind my man pleasuring me with it either ....it was actually really nice just closing my eyes and allowing him free reign! As for the noise factor, I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet this was. No hiding under the duvet with it!! It's also very light in weight making it easy to control and shift about.

As always, I used my favorite GiveLube premium aqua gel which always enhances my enjoyment of the toys I use.



Prolific Pleasure is available to buy from Aphrodite's Gifts and costs £26.99 which I think is a fair price for such a great toy.

Icicles 10 Function Glass G-Spot Vibrating Wand No4 from Vibrations Direct


A while ago, I was approached by a very lovely lady from Vibrations Direct, who asked whether i'd be interested in receiving a product from them in return for an honest review. I received the item free of charge and all opinions are based upon my own experience.

Although I sent quite a long list of toys etc i'd be willing to test, it was still a surprise when my new toy actually arrived ....and a nice one at that!!

My new Icicles No4
Imagine the size of the smile on my face when I opened this .....within an hour it was being tried and tested!

As with all Icicles glass toys, the Icicles 10 Function Glass G-Spot Vibrating Wand No4 comes in simple yet attractive packaging. The box front opens out to reveal the wonders that lie within ...

Inside the box
Description of contents inside box cover
You'll find your new toy fitted nicely into a white foam block for protection once removed from the box. It's at this point you see the real beauty and quality of the product.

Snug as a bug
As you can see, there are 2 separate parts to this vibe. First we have the beautiful glass dildo which is stunning in itself and exudes quality ...

Beautifully crafted glass dildo
The dildo itself is around 7 inches in length and has a girth of just under 3 inches so it's relatively slender if the size often puts you off.

Raised swirl covering dildo
I apologize for my pic not being the greatest but I was trying to show you the raised pink swirl which adorns the dildo. Although they can be felt, they're not unpleasant and only create gentle ripples which feel pleasant and add to the arousal. They are raised by only a few mm but make the world of difference.

The vibrating part of the wand

This glass dildo comes with a handy little bullet and control unit to turn it into a vibrator ...and it's pretty clever! The control unit has an opening in the back where 3AAA batteries are to be inserted and this is very easy to gain access to. Once they're in, simply plug the bullet into it and hey presto! There are 10 vibration modes in total ranging from constant vibes to pulsating ones so there's something for everyone.

The small bullet fits neatly into the handle at the base of the glass dildo ....

Hole at base of glass dildo for bullet to be inserted
Bullet through end of dlido

Like with all my 'stipply' vibes, I always make sure I use plenty of lube as this helps prevent the vibe from sticking and heightens the pleasure as well as making those raised areas glide comfortably.
I'm a huge fan of glass dildos/vibes and this one has earned a top spot in my toy drawer. For me, the size is absolutely perfect as i'm quite slender and occasionally struggle for comfort with some of the larger vibes. I'd also say this is great if you're new to glass vibes with stipples as they're quite small.
The bullet is a great little addition to this, although I personally didn't feel that the vibrations came through the dildo quite as strong as I would have liked. I did find it quite fun to remove the bullet and stimulate my clitoris with it whilst satisfying myself with the dildo but if you decide to try this yourself, be warned, the bullet does get pretty warm!!

The bullet glows when turned on
The heat could be due to the bulb which is inside the bullet and I did find it became hotter and quite uncomfortable the longer it was in use.

The bullet fitted through the end of the dildo

Overall I was thrilled to have the opportunity to try this and I really loved it, although i'm probably more likely to use it without the bullet. The style, size and intricacy of the glass dildo are, for me, perfect in every way and capable of giving maximum satisfaction. I preferred the bullet when used by itself, at least until it became too hot to handle. The curve at the top of the glass hit the spot well and the stipples gave a very sensual experience making me oooh and aaah constantly. My partner enjoyed taking control of the bullet which always heightens my arousal as I never know when it's going to change etc and this gave him satisfaction too. As with all glass toys i've tested, I personally prefer to handle them myself rather than let my partner pleasure me with them as it's sometimes a little uncomfortable when he does it.

As with all sex toys, what's right for me, may not be right for you. I can only give you my personal opinions.

If you're interested in treating yourself to the beautiful Icicles 10 Function Glass G-Spot Vibrating Wand No4, it's available for a superb price of £35.54 (reduced from £39.49 at time of print) and is available from Vibrations Direct. Check out all the other fantastic items they have while you're there!!

Pony Play Butt Plug Whip from Uberkinky!


Firstly I must apologize to Uberkinky for the length of time this has taken me to publish. Despite being able to try the product, I didn't have an available pc/lappy to update and i'm not sure my daughter would have appreciated me using hers for this purpose. All sorted now and raring to go!!

I was lucky enough to have been sent the Pony Play Butt Plug Whip for free, in return for an honest review, so here it is!

Arrived coiled up
Tail straightened out

The pony plug arrived curled up in a clear plastic bag with no unwanted or wasteful packaging. I did have a few problems trying to get the tail to hang straight, but patience is the key here! The butt plug part is red in colour and the tail is black. There is a slight smell which I noticed upon opening, although for me, this can be overlooked as it wasn't as strong as some sex toys.

I loved the feel of this. I have only ever tried a butt plug once before, and really struggled to insert it as it just kept bending. This however, is a lot firmer and more sturdy making it far easier to use ....and less of a fumble! It is kind of slippery once a bit lube has been added though so take care .....or better still, get your partner to do it for you!

The butt plug is tapered at the end to provide easy, comfortable access and is only 3 inches in girth at its fattest ....perfect if you're a novice like myself! The 'horse-hair' effect tail is absolutely fab for some sensual play and feels nice when stroked across the skin a few times before being given a gently whip. It definitely isn't hardcore, neither is it designed to cause pain, but it does give a nice, fluttery feeling depending on use. My partner had loads of fun teasing me with this.
Insertable length is just under 4 inches
Tapered end for easy entry
Horse-like tail
The base of the plug is slightly larger than the rest, making it easier to get hold of which is definitely a good move.

I personally absolutely loved this as my first 'proper' butt plug and have had much enjoyment from it. It's just the right size for a beginner and the whip provides that little extra bit of fun. My partner enjoyed using this to tease and please me and was most satisfied with the results.

The Pony Play Butt Plug is made by Doc Johnson and costs a very pleasing £19.99 from Uberkinky.

I'm Back!!!

Firstly, I'd like to apologise to everyone for the lack of posts on my blog over the last few months. I have been without a pc and therefore unable to do any reviews/updates. I (hopefully) now have everything sorted and hope to be back up and running again with new reviews coming up this week.

I thank you all for your patience, and for sticking with me, it's greatly appreciated :D x

Eve The Little Gem from Private Delight


I love my bullets and I love clit stimulators so when Private Delight approached me and asked if i'd like to test and review 'Eve The Little Gem' I simply couldn't refuse!

Eve arrived in a discreet grey envelope, hidden away from prying eyes (namely those of my postie!)

Eve The Little Gem (box front)
Eve (back of box)
The box itself was really small ...no wasted packaging so great for the environment! Once inside you'll find a sleek and stylish Eve complete with 3 x LR44 batteries ....a definite bonus that they're included, however Private Delight did send me some batteries too.
Box contents
Perfectly formed, Eve
Once removed from the box, you can see just how discreet and sleek Eve is .....she's silky smooth too making her all the more alluring!
Eve is made from ABS material and is 2.75 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter - the perfect size to fit in your handbag or pocket for some fun on the go.
Twist off end for battery insertion
To insert the batteries, simply twist off the end of the vibe and you'll find a small piece of paper inside the battery compartment showing you which way to put the batteries in. Once they're in, twist the cap back on securely and you're all set to play.
Simple on/off button
The vibe is operated by a simple on/off button which just pushes in. There are 2 speed settings and 3 different pulsations.
Press once - This activates the vibe and gives a fairly strong vibration
Press twice - This strengthens the already strong vibration by quite a bit
Press 3 times - This begins a slow pulsating vibration
Press 4 times - The pulsating becomes stronger and quicker
Press 5 times - The pulsating has 2 short bursts followed by 1 longer burst
Press 6 times - This turns off the vibe

Eve is fully waterproof so perfect for some bathtime fun and can be used solo (as I did) or with a partner. I wouldn't say this vibe is exactly quiet, although the noise does muffle a little whilst 'in use' - if you have thin walls, it may be best to have the tv or something playing in the background, especially if you have nosey kids as I do!

The vibrations of Eve were much stronger than I expected and I was quite taken by surprise - both by their strength, and by how quickly I began to orgasm! Fantastic!! The pulsating had me almost climbing the walls and I think it's mainly due to the shape. The curvature makes it very easy to hold and the tapered tip gives accurate pin-point precision so you can send pleasure exactly where you want it. The button can be a little awkward to press once it becomes slippery but it's not as bad as some i've tried.

Overall I absolutely loved this! 100% waterproof, small, discreet, powerful and sexy ...Eve has it all!

Amazingly you can purchase Eve from Private Delight for a cracking price of just £13.99 while it's on special offer (normal price is £19.99) and i'm sure you won't be disappointed!
Why not check out some of the other amazing products they have on offer too, there's something for everyone!

Many thanks to Private Delight for giving me the opportunity to try this, I love it!
