4 StarsI loved this m/m contemporary romance book. I have a feeling this will end up on my Top 10 books of 2018. "Perfect Day" is a m/m retelling of Jane Austen's "Persuasion". You do not have to have read "Persuasion" to enjoy this book. The auth...

4½ Stars"How To Lose An Alpha In 10 Days" was reminiscent of of the movie "How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days". But it was a unique story line for a MM romance. Between the pages of this book you get quite an entertaining story. I really enjoyed the shen...

4¼ Stars“Josh” by Catherine Lievens has intriguing elements but didn’t quite mesh for me. I’m not sure whether is was time or length constraints, but I wanted more information. I liked the vocations the guys had (baker and veterinarian) but I was c...
3½ StarsMerritt and Avery’s relationship started out rocky in the beginning, due to a misunderstanding. I wasn’t sure if they were going to work it out or not and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Here you have two people that shared feelings for...
4 StarsDevin Harnois is a new author to me and I did indeed enjoy "Mages and Mechanisms" a lot. The steampunk element made for an interesting read. It was a little slow going at first but once the book got going it moved at a good pace. Leander wa...
4 StarsI liked the first book in the Song of the Siren series so I had to pick up "The Guardian's Prize". As with the first book, I enjoyed this one as well. I liked how Tetra figured he would have it all his way and got the surprise of his life w...

3½ Stars"Ice on Fire" wasn't so much fire as it was ice. The story line was good but the pace was a little slow. I had trouble sympathizing with Adrian and his social problems. One problem was enough for the story but he had multiple problems and t...
3½ Stars"Love in Spades" is aces all around. We have another hit read from this author. From the beginning to the end of "Love in Spades" I laughed all the way through. The hot attraction between Ace and Colton made my screen sizzle. But it was the...
4½ StarsAnother addition to the fascinating world of the Kindred. I personally adored Lorelei. Her dilemma in the beginning of the book had me laughing out loud. The addition of Bound to the dilemma just added a bit of satisfaction. Once the proble...

4½ StarsRiven was a was a mixed bag for me. It started poorly for me because the purple prose was out in full force. This author loves her words and she loves to use all of them at the same time. What could be said in 4 words, she uses 20. It kept...
3½ Stars“Ripping Off the Mask” by Harper Jewel has great elements but a few too many forced coincidences for my tastes. The dramatic consequence to Cooper’s coming out, the eerie communication with his partner, the amazing connection with Dr. Westl...

4½ StarsThis is the second half of a story that started with the previous book Calling All Villains. It would be best read after reading the previous book though you may be able to make sense of this story with a bit of imagination. This a story ab...
4 StarsI'm always on the hunt for new (or new to me) historical authors so I was excited to try this book. "A Gentleman Revealed" is an alternative history m/m Regency romance. The world isn't too different. The biggest change is m/m relationships...

4 Stars“My Name is Karma” is a story of revenge and finding an everlasting love along the way to that revenge. From the beginning of the book you get Yves finding Lucas near death. They find love. It’s a very heart wrenching story that I very much...
4 StarsThe title Adrian's Bodyguard tends to explain the book on a basic note, but it just doesn't do the story line any justice. I had a good laugh throughout reading this story. The tension, lust and humor between Adrian and Xavier was epic. Adr...
4 StarsStephan's Monster is book two in the Vampires of Vadin series. It’s not as good as book one, but I wanted to find out more after reading the first book. I just didn't really like how dark and psychopathic Jayden was. Stephan was a strong ch...

4½ StarsBlade and Kya are so sexual it’s not even funny but I guess it’s to be expected since they are cats. The sex scenes were hot and I found it nice that they were able to be around each other during a case. That’s not to say that Blade didn't...
4½ StarsThis was a really unique story and I kind of love the author for it. The blurb is very clear on the events that happen so you know that going in. What you don't know is how creatively this author is going to tell the story. "Point of Contac...
