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: Headcase (Necessary Evils #4) by Onley James
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Necessary Evils series: Unhinged (Necessary Evils #1)Psycho (Necessary Evils #2)Moonstruck (Necessary Evils #3)Damaged (Necessary Evils #3.5) Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novel from the author. How excited was I to read this book? I informed the spouse he was in charge of dinner and stayed up way too … Continue reading Book Review: Headcase (Necessary Evils #4) by Onley James
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
Book Review: Leviathan Falls (The Expanse #9) by James S. A. Corey

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
Book Review: Broken Chains MC Series by E.M. Lindsey
This post includes reviews of the books in the Broken Chains MC series: Tidal Wave (#1)Backfire (#2)Broken Wings (#3)Wicked (#4) Tidal Wave (Broken Chains MC #1) I’ve never read an MC (motorcycle club) romance and never really thought it’d be my jam. But since E.M. Lindsey is one of my favorite authors, I knew I’d … Continue reading Book Review: Broken Chains MC Series by E.M. Lindsey
Book Review: A Thousand Lifetimes by Kate Hawthorne
Vampires are my jam, and Hawthorne is one of my favorite authors. The only reason I hadn’t read this book before now is that I’m rationing her titles since I’m almost out of “new” things to read by her. Once I started this book, I couldn’t put it down. I didn’t get enough sleep last … Continue reading Book Review: A Thousand Lifetimes by Kate Hawthorne
Book Review: Navarro (Rebel Sky Ranch #3) by Kelly Fox
Read my reviews of the previous books in the Rebel Sky Ranch series: Goodnight (#1)Sparrow (#2) Disclaimer: I received an electronic ARC of this novel from the author. "The worst-kept secret at Rebel Sky Ranch is that Desi Navarro loves Wyatt Goodnight." Fox has been planting the seeds of this romance from the very beginning … Continue reading Book Review: Navarro (Rebel Sky Ranch #3) by Kelly Fox
Book Review: Priest Series by Sierra Simone
This post includes reviews of the books in the Priest series: Priest (#1)Sinner (#2)Saint (#3) Priest (Priest #1) I enjoyed this book a lot more when I stopped thinking about it as a romance. I have very little patience for the religious angst of white guys, especially when it involves a religion with as tricky … Continue reading Book Review: Priest Series by Sierra Simone
Book Review: A Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars (R’iyah Family Archives #1) by A.J. Sherwood
American readers of a certain age probably got a strange hit of nostalgia while reading this delightful queer paranormal romance novel. The ways Sherwood presents the mage/familiar bond and how Bel interacts with both Nico and Garen gave me lovely echoes of the television show Sentinel; however, this book is not fanfic with the serial … Continue reading Book Review: A Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars (R’iyah Family Archives #1) by A.J. Sherwood
Book Review: Heart by Garrett Leigh
Leigh usually rips my heart out with her writing, and this book more than lived up to that expectation. I first met these heroes as side characters in another series by Leigh and immediately knew I needed to learn more about them. This story is half about the unexpected connection and subsequent romance shared by … Continue reading Book Review: Heart by Garrett Leigh
Book Review: Heal (White House Men #7) by Nora Phoenix
Read my reviews of the previous books in the White House Men series. Like many others, I anxiously awaited the final book in this amazing political romance series. This book tied together not only the remaining characters who more than deserved their happily ever after but also acted as a sort of epilogue for the … Continue reading Book Review: Heal (White House Men #7) by Nora Phoenix
Book Review: Always Eli (Forever Love #1) by Charlie Novak
As the titular character, everything about Eli would have made it easy for him to overshadow everything about this romance. However, Novak is adept at character, which always brings her storytelling to the next level. Not only does Tristan’s solid sweetness function as more than a match for Eli’s sharper edges, but these men exist … Continue reading Book Review: Always Eli (Forever Love #1) by Charlie Novak
Book Review: Disciplinary Action by Onley James
I love reading about power exchange relationships, but only those that come from a position of equality. Therefore, I was hesitant to start this book for quite a bit until it was the only book left by this author that I hadn't read. Since she hasn't let me down yet, I figured it was time … Continue reading Book Review: Disciplinary Action by Onley James
Book Review: Peter Cabot Gets Lost (The Cabots #2) by Cat Sebastian
Read my review of "Tommy Cabot Was Here" (The Cabots #1) as part of the He's Come Undone anthology. Sometimes I don’t highlight much of a book when I read it on my Kindle because otherwise, I’d end up highlighting the entire text. This is often the case with Sebastian’s work for me. I thoroughly … Continue reading Book Review: Peter Cabot Gets Lost (The Cabots #2) by Cat Sebastian
Book Review: Open Ice Hit (Sin Bin #1) by E.M. Lindsey & Marina Vivancos
I should state for the record that my mom grew up in Queens, but my best friend lives in Brooklyn, so I can't really choose sides between the Sea Dogs or the Phantoms. Two players from rival teams falling in love seems a bit cliché, except the fact that Tommy and Vicki aren't on the … Continue reading Book Review: Open Ice Hit (Sin Bin #1) by E.M. Lindsey & Marina Vivancos
Book Review: Kiss Me Series by Charlie Novak
This post includes reviews of the currently available books in the Kiss Me series: Strawberry Kisses (#1)Summer Kisses (#2)Spiced Kisses (#3) Strawberry Kisses (Kiss Me #1) This story is the perfect read if you’re looking for a balance of sweetness, steam, and feels.

Book Review: The Masked Boys by Julia McBryant
I began this book expecting nothing more than some ridiculous kinky fun between bored rich boys at a boarding school. I was half right. The motivation behind the Plan is a bit silly, and the boys are certainly bored and rich, but the boarding school is not what I expected. These are (adult) teenagers who … Continue reading Book Review: The Masked Boys by Julia McBryant
Book Review: Without a Doubt (Love Starts Here #1) by E.M. Lindsey
This series is described as “light-hearted” in the cover description, and I suppose this book is when compared to other works by Lindsey. Carter is a cinnamon roll, and Rhys has the hard edges for them to mesh perfectly. However, both men carry a certain amount of emotional damage that doesn’t make a relationship easy, … Continue reading Book Review: Without a Doubt (Love Starts Here #1) by E.M. Lindsey
