I first read For Real as an uncorrected final proof over a year ago and reviewed it for an LGBTQ blog awarding it 4.5*/5*. There were a couple of aspects I was unsure about at the time, which stopped me awarding 5*. I have since read it twice more. Reading it this time for review,…
Risk Aware is part of the Saugatuck Summer world, but is a totally standalone novel. This is a very readable romance, which considering the subject matter, is not overly heavy on the angst. A contemporary m/m romance with some very well thought out and imaginative BDSM elements, the title refers to the kink world’s mantra…
When her ex-husband Frank died mid-divorce, he left Suzanne Mayhew with a lot of questions (was he cheating?) and some classic cars he never let her drive. Forty-something Suzanne is about fifteen years older than hot cop Neil Callahan, who wants to take her Mustang for a drive – and yeah, that can also be…
Pain Slut is the second novel, in the Subs Club series by J.A. Rock. I did read the first, The Subs Club, and although it improves the reading experience in some ways, Pain Slut can be read as a stand-alone. Miles is a handsome, serious man and a masochist, in that he is part of…
It’s a rare thing for me to say I don’t think a book was even worth $1.99. I mean, that’s a cheap book, not much of an investment. But Bind Me Before You Go is just that awful. It was only 132 pages and I couldn’t even make myself finish the book. Save that money…
Narrated by Adam Paul Rush is the first in Ms. Banks’ Breathless trilogy featuring three billionaires who run a hotel empire – Gabe, Jace, and Ash. Gabe Hamilton has had his eye on Jace’s sister, Mia Crestwell, for about four years, but waited until she was twenty-four to make his move. He’s very, shall we…
There are some books I recommend because they charm me and I absolutely adored every moment of reading them. However, “endearing” is not an apt word to describe The Siren because while some portions of the story were very moving, other parts will likely make readers extremely uncomfortable or even angry. Yet the writing in…
I knew when I received this book for review that I was in for a treat. What I didn’t know is that this latest series revisits the world of Justin Herne, the hero from If Wishes Were Horses, a long time resident of my keeper shelf. Once again Ms. Hill takes the reader on a…
When Lisa Valdez published Passion several years ago, the buzz was tremendous. Everyone seemed to be talking about and reading the book and looking forward to the sequel – Patience. But a year went by, and then another, then another until readers were fast losing their patience. Well, the book is finally here – was…
Ménage books are becoming increasingly popular in e-book land, and thus increasingly prominent. In my (admittedly far from complete) experience, M/M/F groupings are becoming the new “it” couple in the sub-genre. However, the stories do come with their own special brand of problems. First, the group dynamics have to be handled very carefully, else the…
