Imperial Topaz has just been reviewed by Elf from Night Owl Romance. She gave it four out of five and said:
"This was an all too short introduction to the erotic world of dominance and submission. It’s a nicely written exploration of the bonds that can be established physically and mentally between a well-matched pair who are comfortable assuming and shedding their respective roles and enhancing their intimacy without descending into an unhealthy relationship."

Carole from Rainbow Reviews gave Time To Do 
and said:"Kim Dare does a superb job of developing these two characters... A few very light BDSM elements in the book add a delicious hint of spice to this story... I loved it. Time To Do is securely on my keeper shelf, and I can't wait to see what this author writes next!"

April from Fallen Angel Reviews gave Time To Do 5 out of 5 Fallan Angels and said:
"Kim Dare always delivers great stories and Time to Do is certainly no exception... Kim Dare has a gift for interesting plots anyway. Intertwining great conflict with equally as great characters seems to be her stamp. And I for one absolutely love this about her!"
Carole from Rainbow Reviews gave In the Heat of the Moment and said:"Kim Dare really has a flair for m/m D/s romance. I have yet to read one of her books that I didn't love, and this one is no exception... This is a lovely, well-written story of power exchange between two attractive men, and I definitely recommend it."

Regina from Coffee Time Romance gave In the Heat of the Moment 
and said:
and said:"This has to be one of the best BDSM love stories I have had the pleasure of reading... Ms. Dare does a fantastic job of accurately explaining how it is for a Submissive in a relationship with a Dom. I have read a lot of stories in this genre, and this is by far one of the most accurate as far as how things actually should go down. Then of course there is the sex which is positively scorching, with lots of emotion mixed in which for me can be a deal breaker if it is not there... Quite simply, this story is wonderful and I highly recommend it!"

April from Fallen Angel Reviews gave In the Heat of the Moment five out of five fallen angels and said:"Okay, I don’t normally like BDSM stories, but Kim Dare has a way of writing that is completely appealing, BDSM and all! Probably because she makes every character and plot line seem so down to earth and realistic... Characters like Shawn and Brett is exactly why Kim Dare is one of my favorite authors."

She gave it five out of five fallen angels and said:"I thought the characters shared great chemistry as well as warmth, and understanding, in this astounding read. The ending leaves warmth inside this reader's heart. Kim Dare has composed a well-written tale that kept this reader interested.

Tina at Two Lips Reviews has just given Turquoise and Leather She says: "Kim Dare has a sexy bdsm tale in Collared: Turquoise and Leather. George has been on the scene for a very long time. Eric has never been on the scene and isn’t sure he wants to be. Eric’s necklace or collar becomes a point of contention between the two. What will win, the freedom you think you have or the freedom that is real?"

Lisa from Joyfully Reviewed has just Joyfully Recommended Tuurquoise and Leather.
She says: "Author Kim Dare knows when to use just the right amount of strong dominance and light touches to make Turquoise and Leather a very entertaining story. I enjoyed seeing the submissive character come alive with humor and wit while the dominant role did not equate with heavy handedness. Turquoise and Leather shows readers that a learning curve can be a uniquely pleasurable s/D"
