Book Review: The Steady (Lost Boys #4) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of previous books in the Lost Boys series: The Thief (#0.5) | The Skeptic (Lost Boys #1) | The Crush (#2) | The Punk (#3) I often joke that it’s not a Kelly Fox book unless it makes me laugh so hard that I scare a cat at least once. While…

Book Review: Cohesion (Chain Reaction #3) by Aurora Crane
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Chain Reaction series: Catalyst (#1) | Reactant (#2) This book fulfilled all my expectations, and then some, for the long-awaited finale of this trilogy. The story does not work as a stand-alone; both the relationship arc(s) and external plot build on what has…

Book Review: Shared (Trophy Doms Social Club #5) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my reviews of previous books in the Trophy Doms Social Club series: Humbled (#1) | Edged (#2) | Praised (#3) | Bound (#4) Barclay may be the final member of the Trophy Doms Social Club to fall, but Hawthorne brings this series full circle with yet another unique twist on the relationship and…

Book Review: London Fog (BrewBiz #2) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my review of the previous book in the BrewBiz series, Affogato. This book begins on the heels of the ending of the previous in the series, though can mostly stand alone. Wren and Percy have one of the most awkward meet-cutes ever, stemming from Percy’s good but misguided intentions…

Book Review: Rogue (Jericho’s Boys #2) by Onley James
Read my review of the first book in the Jericho’s Boys series, Paladin. Often, when the hurt/comfort trope is applied in romance novels, the character doing the comforting comes from a much “better” place (in terms of emotional well-being or general life status) than the hurt character. Darker romances, on…

Book Review: Scene Queen (The Court #2) by Charlie Novak
Read my review of the first book in The Court series, Drama Queen. The grumpy/sunshine trope, that particular twist on “opposites attract,” is one of my favorites. Novak does the trope justice here by adding a dose of spice to the dynamic that initially develops between Rhys and Evan. Their…

Book Review: The Punk (Lost Boys #3) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of previous books in the Lost Boys series: The Thief (#0.5) | The Skeptic (#1) | The Crush (#2) This book is both exactly what it says on the tin and simultaneously full of delightful surprises. That Sawyer and Hen are meant to be is evident from events in earlier…

Book Review: Heart2Heart (Contemporary) Vol. 7
This post includes reviews of selections from the contemporary half of the 7th volume of Heart2Heart charity anthology. Brie Mine Charlie Novak I have a soft spot for book nerds, being one myself, and I loved that Sage and Benedict first connected in chat conversations over their love of books…

Book Review: Spark of Wrath (Carnal Tower #4) by E.M. Lindsey
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Carnal Tower series: Shades of Lust (#1) | Waiting on Forever (#2) | Taste of Greed (#3) As a firm believer that sex work is work, I adore the simultaneously realistic and aspirational world of the Carnal Tower. We’re now halfway through the series,…

Book Review: Bound (Trophy Doms Social Club #4) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Trophy Doms Social Club series: Humbled (#1) | Edged (#2) | Praised (#3) Now that the happily paired-off members of the Trophy Doms Social Club outnumber the single guys, the level of well-intentioned meddling between these friends gets turned up to 11. Little do…

Book Review: The Crush (Lost Boys #2) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of previous books in the Lost Boys series: The Thief (#0.5) | The Skeptic (#1) Sometimes you don’t know how much you need to hear (read) something until it comes along at exactly the right time in your life. Fox has been one of my favorite authors since I…

Book Review: Most of You (Beginning of Always #2) by E.M. Lindsey
Ready my review of the previous book in the Beginning of Always series, Halo. This book works completely as a stand-alone story, but putting this book together with Halo makes for a lovely duet. Emil wasn’t necessarily a villain in the other book who needed a redemption arc. The events…

Book Review: Daddy Christmas by Cara Dee
I can’t keep my title as a Cara Dee superfan if I don’t read all the things, but I’ll admit that I approached this story with mild trepidation. First because of one of the major tropes, since “forbidden” romance (in this case between people of very different statuses within an…

Book Review: Drama Queen (The Court #1) by Charlie Novak
Comparing the drag queen main character in this story, Bubblegum Galaxy, to the drag queen protagonist of an earlier Novak book would be easy, but this author immediately puts her excellent characterization skills to work by making their personalities and general vibes drastically different (in both drag and boy mode).…

Book Review: Praised (Trophy Doms Social Club #3) by Kate Hawthorne
Read my reviews of previous books in the Trophy Doms Social Club series: Humbled (#1) | Edged (#2) Flynn may fit all the characteristics for being a card-carrying member of the Trophy Doms Social Club, but one thing I love about this series is how each member of this group of friends…
