Book Review: Devil’s Dance (Rebel Kings MC #1) by Garrett Leigh
Is it possible for a motorcycle club (MC) president to be a cinnamon roll? If Cam had been born into any other life, he absolutely would be. Even the sharp edges he does have due to his position are there more for automatic defense than because he has any desire to be a villain. I … Continue reading Book Review: Devil’s Dance (Rebel Kings MC #1) by Garrett Leigh

Book Review: Finding Finn (Forever Love #2) by Charlie Novak
Read my review of the first book in the Forever Love series, Always Eli. It’s a pretty universal fact that it’s always the quiet ones you have to watch out for. The character of Finn already interested me because he appeared to be an adorable, anxiety-ridden cinnamon roll from the outside, but that couldn’t possibly … Continue reading Book Review: Finding Finn (Forever Love #2) by Charlie Novak
Book Review: Extradition (Mobsters + Billionaires #1) by Kelly Fox
Kelly Fox lulled me into a pattern of books set in Texas only to blow me out of the water with her depiction of New York City. Like it says on the tin, mobsters and billionaires are a departure from her previous works, but this author’s grasp on inherent human nature makes this book with … Continue reading Book Review: Extradition (Mobsters + Billionaires #1) by Kelly Fox
Book Review: Spring of the Wolf (Seasons of the Lukoi #2) by Iris Foxglove
Read my review of the first Seasons of the Lukoi novel, Winter of the Owl. Every time I think I can’t possibly enjoy the world of this epic fantasy romance series more, the author(s) uncover another stunning layer. In the first book of this series, we’re introduced to the culture of the Lukoi, who are … Continue reading Book Review: Spring of the Wolf (Seasons of the Lukoi #2) by Iris Foxglove
Book Review: Mountain Topped by K.M. Neuhold & Mia Monroe
Sometimes there’s a limit to how many genre tropes you can cram into one book. However, there’s a difference between “too many” and “just enough combined in the right way.” Neuhold and Monroe strike the perfect balance in this book with three unique and compelling characters who also balance each other in the best way. … Continue reading Book Review: Mountain Topped by K.M. Neuhold & Mia Monroe
Book Review: Winter of the Owl (Seasons of the Lukoi #1) by Iris Foxglove
I came to this series because I’d previously read the Starian Cycle books by the same author, though I did not review them for my blog. Foxglove has created a truly expansive world in that it is not necessary to read the previous books to appreciate anything about this story. The forced-proximity element of this … Continue reading Book Review: Winter of the Owl (Seasons of the Lukoi #1) by Iris Foxglove
Book Review: Shades of Winter (For Everything a Season #1) by E.M. Lindsey
Lindsey is officially the only author I know who can write a “low-angst” book that still leaves me absolutely aching for the characters. Liam and Dante shouldn’t work together, which of course means that they absolutely do. I adored the way this story switches up the traditional bodyguard trope formula by having the characters hook … Continue reading Book Review: Shades of Winter (For Everything a Season #1) by E.M. Lindsey
Book Review: Texas Detour by Kelly Fox
This novella is available as a free download via Prolific Works as part of the Your Book Boyfriend’s Boyfriend M/M Romance Group Giveaway 2022. I think it's become part of the official regulations that it's not a Kelly Fox book unless you're laughing out loud one moment and then crying two pages later. This situation was definitely … Continue reading Book Review: Texas Detour by Kelly Fox
Book Review: Shades of Lust (Carnal Tower #1) by E.M. Lindsey
Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novel from the author. Once again, Lindsey has written a low angst book that doesn’t stint on being packed with feels. Low angst doesn’t mean low emotion, after all, and this author is adept at teasing out the connections between characters that are not evident at first … Continue reading Book Review: Shades of Lust (Carnal Tower #1) by E.M. Lindsey

Book Review: Stable Hill by Jodi Payne
I have a soft spot for poly romances. I may joke that it's because you get multiple relationships in one book for the same low price. However, it's mostly because what I love about romance stories is the different ways people interact and connect. This book, in particular, intertwines three men from different walks of … Continue reading Book Review: Stable Hill by Jodi Payne

Outside of the engrossing plot and intriguing … Continue reading Book Review: Baal’s Heart Series by Bey Deckard
Book Review: Angels in the City by Garrett Leigh
Garrett Leigh writes excellent angst, so I was curious to see how that would balance out the inherent lightness of a holiday romance. I was not disappointed by any means, as Jonah and Sacha stumble into a relationship together throughout a single December. Neither man really does relationships for various reasons, but their first hookup … Continue reading Book Review: Angels in the City by Garrett Leigh

Review: Unshackled by Cara Dee
As much as I love my morally gray characters, I’m not one for mafia romances. However, I am very much for almost everything written by Cara Dee, so I knew I’d be diving into this book as soon as it was released. I have not read the M/F books that also take place in this … Continue reading Review: Unshackled by Cara Dee
