"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 Stars"Hacking the Consequences" is the beginning of a new series for Charlie Richards, but it also intertwines into her four other series. I enjoyed the story very much because of the reappearance of characters from previous books and how they a...

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“Her Husband's Army Buddy” starts out a fantastic, steamy and all round great love story as well as series! I loved how the author chose to introduce Zane’s army buddy into the equation. Author Doris O’Connor made the sparks fly between all...

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 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...
5 Stars“One Under” by JL Merrow is a book about complex connections and loyalty, and it both entertained and frustrated me. I loved the zingers provided by Jago with his deadpan delivery, the affection and concern displayed by Tash even though she...
4 Stars“The Wedding Bellskis” is a bit wacky and evokes the craziness of trying to plan a wedding while balancing work obligations and doing a favor for a relative. The main characters both seem like warm genuine guys and were fun to watch, as was...

4 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...
3½ StarsI'm constantly on the lookout for new authors (or new to me) and new series. I'm so excited I tried this one by a debut author. This book is part mystery and part romance. I probably shouldn't compare this to another author but this reminde...

4 Stars“Covet” by Yolande Kleinn was a bit frustrating for me. While it was delicious to watch the heat build between Jack and Colin, and the subtle BDSM dynamic that flourishes between Peter and Colin is intriguing, I was uncomfortable with the w...
3½ Stars“The man is not the spirit. I didn’t fall in love with the Swarm. I fell in love with you in spite of them.” “Swarm” is the first Raven de Hart’s book I read and it’s an interesting take of social caste and prejudice of human bearing gift b...
