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…
Mr. and Mr. Smith is the first in an edgy spy series by HelenKay Dimon who, although she has an impressive backlist of about thirty novels and novellas, is new to me. I also have a not-so-secret love of the occasional alpha-male, spy / militaristic romance stories. Providing the plot is good, and I can relate…
Welcome to Noman, a planet colonized by humans, settled as an Old West series of towns, and overrun with dragons. Yeah, I wasn’t sure where the author was going with this either. But, as we’ve seen before, space cowboys are pretty interesting characters, and so I was willing to give it a go. I’m glad…
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…
OUT!is the third, and final book in the Shamwell series by J.L. Merrow. I have read all so far and nearly included Played! and Caught! in my Top 10 for 2015. Set in the imaginary and rather idealised English village of Shamwell, this novel follows the rather shambolic romance between divorcee Mark and Shamwell resident…
My, my, Ms. Ford likes her violence. I tend to really enjoy her series (Sinners, Cole McGinnis), largely because she writes well and she writes unusual and interesting gay men to whom I am always drawn. Ford also tends to like men with a lot of baggage, which goes well with all that action…. Deacon…
Sunset Park is the second in the Five Boroughs series – the first Sutphin Boulevard introduced us to the Rodriguez family, and the relationship between ‘Nunzio and Michael. This book concerns Michael’s younger brother, Raymond. Raymond is used to ignoring responsibility, knowing his older brother and his mother will look after things. With both their…
The second book in K.J Charles’ Society of Gentlemen trilogy, A Seditious Affair contains all the ingredients I enjoyed so much in A Fashionable Indulgence, which I read in the summer. I was so impressed by Ms Charles’ writing and the wonderful way she wove the romantic relationship through a gripping story of social and…
Unnatural spans a period of about fifteen years, and charts the development of the relationship between Captain Iain Sinclair and James Hart. The cover announces it as “An Enlightenment Story”, meaning that it takes place within the same fictional universe as Ms Chambers’ excellent Enlightenment trilogy; and fans of those books will no doubt be…
This is a guest review by Elisabeth Lane and Alexis Hall Desmond Poole is damaged in more ways than one. If he was an underachiever before, he’s entirely useless now that he’s lost his right hand. He spends his time drowning his sorrows in vodka while he deliberately blows off the training that would help…
