Grab your's here!

THAT MAFIOSO MAGIC BY NICHOLAS BELLA: AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Image
  SUMMARY   Private detective Adrian Elias knows what trouble looks like, and ruthless mobster and lion shifter Sage Tamir was just that, with a capital "T". On top of smelling like heaven, the man has the face of an angel, with a body made for unbridled sin. A combination Adrian finds very hard to resist.  Unfortunately, someone is trying to kill Sage, and they’re using magic to do it. Sage usually takes these types of matters into his own hands, but this time, he’s out of his league. He believes the only person who can help him is the down-on-his-luck detective. Problem is, Adrian doesn't want to take his case because he feels it may be too dangerous. Never mind the volcanic-level attraction they seem to share for each other raising the stakes. Magic and mayhem awaits.  Listener advisory: For ages 18 and older. Strong adult situations and language. A sarcastic PI and a no-nonsense mobster will keep you resisting pause way past your bedtime. Best order that pizza, b...

LET THERE BE LIGHT BY A.M. JOHNSON: AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Image
  SUMMARY His world was water and rhythm. Hard work and drive kept Royal O'Connell one step ahead of his competition. His spot on the swim team, keeping his scholarship, was the only plan that mattered.   His world was ebony and ivory. Natural talent and ambition set Camden Morgan apart from the other music majors. His dedication scored him a full ride.   Normally, their paths would have never crossed...but when Royal meets his best friend's new roommate, his big plan and Camden's controlled environment faces a variable that could destroy it all: attraction.   The world they live in had no room for error. That undeniable pull between them was dangerous, and neither one of them could've prepared for the choice they'd have to make.   Love isn't always an easy road, and when everything they've worked for is on the line, they'll have to decide if being together is worth the risk.   REVIEW This was a sweet opposites attract, low angst, c...

HERE'S THE DEAL BY STEPHAN PRIDE & KASHEL CHAR : BOOK REVIEW

Image
SUMMARY   Daniel is driving his new sports car from Cincinnati to Nashville, he notices a hitchhiker thumbing on the side of the highway. In the blink of an eye, a simple game plan forms in the young scholar’s mind.    Pulling over, the student offers the sexy older man a ride…with conditions.   Mike accepts the conditional offer from the very handsome and arrogant rich boy. The deal was a simple one…at first. REVIEW   This was a quick steamy read, which I ended up finishing in a single sitting. I was expecting this to be a one shot, sexy erotica, but this is so much more. The characters are real, relatable and well fleshed out. Daniel wants to explore his carnal desires with another man, and Mike provides him the perfect opportunity. Mike is a family man, who didn't expect a simple deal to go that far. But Daniel is sinfully domimating and is willing to pull all the stops to make sure Mike complies. As the characters explore their themselves and their need...

FREE PASS ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT BY CHARA CROFT : BOOK REVIEW

Image
  SUMMARY   A sex slave on a leash is the last thing I would have thought of to distract me from my ex. That’s the nice thing about my roommate, though. With him around, I don’t have to be the one to think of all the good ideas. CAIN: Jackson wants to dress me up in a leather harness tonight, and since I kinda like doing what he says, I’m down with that. I’m no Dom, though. In fact, I always thought I was pretty vanilla. But I can’t deny that the idea of heading to the annual Halloween party I can’t get out of attending with a cute little twink on a leash is… uh, well. Let’s just say I don’t hate it. Not sure who Jackson has in mind for me but I trust him. And besides, it’s all just pretend, right? Of course, he did say I get a free pass tonight, so if the twink is willing... I have a secret, but I don’t feel guilty even if I know it’s wrong. Besides, brotherly love is a virtue, right? And since I already know that my big brother will never notice me that way, what’s the harm ...

PRETTY THINGS BY CHARA CROFT : BOOK REVIEW

Image
SUMMARY BODHI: I like to wear pretty things, but I hate that they cost me my brother. My twin. My other half. I hate HIM. Kai. I hate him so hard. And I especially hate the way he mocks me by leaving me presents, like the one I find waiting for me on our eighteenth birthday and can’t resist trying on... KAI: When our parents split up, the only way I could protect Bodhi from our dad’s fucked-up attitude about all the pretty things he likes was to temporarily cut him out of my life. It killed me to do it, but it would have hurt more to let him hear the things Dad said about him. But now it’s finally time to get my brother back. I’ve been planning it for years, but there was no way I could have planned for how I'd feel when I walked in on Bodhi all dressed up in the lingerie I’d given him. I just wanted to be with my twin again, but now I want so much more. I want to make him my girl. I want to love him the way a brother shouldn’t. And I never, ever want to let him go.  REVIEW This wa...

UNNATURAL BY ALESSANDRA HAZARD : AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Image
SUMMARY  A planet at war. Two alphas forced into a political marriage. Attraction that defies all reason and logic.... Or does it? The Kingdom of Pelugia and the Republic of Kadar have been at war for decades. Peace isn’t popular, but the planet can’t survive without it. Forced to marry an enemy prince for the sake of peace, Senator Royce Cleghorn doesn’t like his husband, his alpha scent, or his damned pretty blue eyes. More than anything, Royce hates what Haydn makes him become: a primitive alpha cliché, who’ll do anything to mark his territory, even if that territory is his alpha husband. Royce likes omegas; he isn’t into alphas, no matter how pretty their eyes are. It’s just a weird territorial instinct. It has to be. Prince Haydn has always tried to be the perfect alpha his father wants him to be. He’s the heir to the throne. He’s a war general. He isn’t supposed to bare his throat to an enemy alpha - and it isn’t supposed to feel so good. Everyone knows a marriage between tw...

UNDERCOVER BY ELIOT GRAYSON : AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Image
  SUMMARY   Gabe wants Alec between the sheets...too bad Alec's undercover already.... Rich kid. Party boy. Gabe is tired of the labels. He's a smart guy, but ever since he got kicked out of grad school, people are only interested in his no-limit credit card and his pierced ears...and other places. Tall, dark, and scowling Alec hates Vermont, with its artisanal-freaking-everything and its irritating people. To be fair, most people irritate Alec, including the FBI director who sent him here to investigate a smuggling scheme involving yoga mats. When one of the cutest twinks Alec's ever seen takes an interest, Alec knows there's an ulterior motive. No one with multi-colored hair, piercings, and an ass like that would want boring, serious Alec. The kid must be up to no good. Either way, Alec can't blow his cover. If only he could keep his hands off of Gabe long enough to find out what he's up to.... Can they ignore their explosive chemistry long enough to foil a sm...

SMASH & GRAB BY MAZ MADDOX : AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Image
  SUMMARY   My standard issued lab badge reads "Simon", but it really should say "unexciting nerd with no social life". Don't get me wrong - I love what I do with a passion, but it doesn't leave a lot of time for much else. Especially romance. While chipping away at my work, I'm suddenly the person between hired cartel muscle and the fossil that will define my career. Which isn't the most insane part of the story. My savior is a chaotic, bat-wielding punk with a bubble-gum pink mohawk and a killer smile. In a mad dash to escape the thieves, my knight in studded armor sweeps me across the country while hitting every tourist trap along the way. While smuggling a fossil, might I add. Oh, and did I mention this pink punk can shift into a dinosaur? REVIEW   This book is downright crazy and all parts hilarious! Sexy Shifter Dinosaurs? Please sign me up! I had such a fun time listening to this. The storyline was unconventional, whimsical and so very origina...

STARFIG INVESTIGATIONS (1-3) BY MEGHAN MASLOW : AUDIOBOOK REVIEW

Image
  SUMMARY   The last thing half-dragon, half-fairy private investigator Twig Starfig wants to do is retrieve a stolen enchanted horn from a treacherous fae, but there’s no denying the dazzlingly gorgeous unicorn who asks Twig to do just that. Literally, no denying, because compelling the reluctant detective is all part of a unicorn’s seductive magic. To add to his woes, Twig is saddled with the unicorn’s cheeky indentured servant, Quinn Broomsparkle. Dragons are supposed to want to eat humans, but Twig’s half-dragon side only wants to gobble up Quinn in a more . . . personal way. Making matters worse, it’s obvious the smokin’ hot but untrustworthy sidekick is hiding something. Something big. And not what’s in his trousers. In the PI business, that means trouble with a capital Q.  Throw in gads of zombies, a creepy ghost pirate ship, a malfunctioning magic carpet, and Twig’s overbearing fairy father’s demands to live up to the illustrious Starfig name. Naturally, an old bu...

Bad Habits Wages of Sin, Book 1: Audiobook Review

Image
  SUMMARY   Jonah taught Cas a million ways to protect his body, but not one to protect his heart. Smart-mouthed hacker Caspian escaped an abusive home at 16. Now he's one of the most sought-after black-hat hackers in the world. Jonah is a ruthless contract killer with only one weakness: the vibrant runaway he took in years ago, Caspian. But Cas bailed when he turned 18, and Jonah has maintained a steady diet of eat, kill, sleep since then. A threat to Cas' life brings him back years later - not as the boy Jonah remembers, but as a hardened computer hacker with a price on his head and a list of names everybody wants. The chemistry between them is as undeniable as it is dangerous.  In a world of secrets and murder, trust is a liability and feelings can get you killed. But Jonah let Cas go once, and he's not willing to do it again.

SOLD FOR THE NIGHT BY M.D GREGORY & KI BRIGHTLY : BOOK REVIEW

Image
SUMMARY  He is a predator, and I am his prey . . . .  Prey: The Rabbit Mark Fenton, assistant to the mayor, never regretted opening his mouth more than he did when he insulted Madam Winters’ establishment, the Courtesan Hotel. Now he’s being sold off for a night in the summer auction. It’s small comfort that part of the proceeds benefit charity. The man who buys Mark’s time, Camden, is wild and unruly. He’s not Mark’s type, from his giant body to his rough nature, but the more time Mark spends with Camden, the more he finds himself having fun. Predator: The Wolf Camden Wolf knows what he likes—redheads who want to be pursued—and Mark appears to be exactly that. When Madam Winters tells Camden about the feisty man she has ready for the auction block, he can’t resist putting a claim on Mark. Chasing him has Camden’s inner primal nature excited, and he can’t get enough of Mark. But as much as they are having fun, Mark is skittish. Attack and Capture Mark fits into Camden’s life l...

FINALLY HOME- JOSIAH BY K-LEE KLIEN : BOOK REVIEW

Image
BLURB Josiah Nelson left the family home where his father’s bullying and his own fears made life a penance, swearing never to return. Now he has a funeral to arrange, another joyless Christmas holiday to survive, and a ranch to sell, before he can finally wipe the last dust of his childhood off his shoes and settle into his lonely big city life.     When he arrives in his hometown, Wyatt Ames is still there, still out and proud and everything Josiah secretly wanted when they were growing up. He can’t help feeling a tiny, fragile hope that this time, things might turn out differently. Especially when Wyatt seems set on teaching him that home isn’t the house you live in. It’s the place where your heart belongs.   REVIEW  I absolutely enjoyed this second chance, coming home romance. When Jodiah comes home he never expected to fall in love again with out and proud Wyatt. Moreover the more time he spends in hos company, he comes to realize he never stopped loving him...

THE WICKED STEPBROTHER & OTHER STORIES BY WARREN ROCHELLE : BOOK REVIEW

Image
BLURB Fairy tales. Prince Charming fights evil, wins the princess, lives happily ever after. Three sons, three wishes, witches, dragons, a quest, and happily ever after. These stories are part of our cultural fabric. The stories change in retellings to reflect contemporary culture, such as Princess Charming, or heroes and heroines as people of color. In this collection, queer characters take center stage in stories that grew out of questions: What if the prince falls in love with Cinderella's gay stepbrother? What if Rumpelstiltskin doesn't really want the Queen's child but rather the King himself? What if Beauty and the Beast are two men? These stories explore metaphors of magic and the magical, this time, with a gay perspective. What price must be paid for happily ever after? Duty or love? Is love worth great sacrifice? Once upon a time . REVIEW  I absolutely adored this brilliant collection of diverse fairytale retellings put together. These retellings are dark, realisti...
