Review: Forever Wilde in Aster Valley by Lucy Lennox 4 of 5 stars

Forever Wilde in Aster Valley by Lucy Lennox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Miller Hobbs finds himself on a winter vacation in Colorado with the giant, exceedingly loud, Marian and Wilde families, he doesn’t quite know what to do with himself. He’s not really a Marian or a Wilde despite having DNA ties to both. So every morning before the rest of the family wakes up and fills Rockley Lodge with holiday merriment (and noise), he escapes to the quaint downtown of Aster Valley where he spies a man through the bakery window kneading dough and dancing to music only he can hear. Miller is entranced by the dancing baker, and when Darius looks up and catches Miller staring, the interest suddenly goes both ways. Can two strangers find love among the quaint chaos of an Aster Valley Christmas? Even if it includes the two most overwhelming and meddling families vying for the title of greatest matchmakers of all time?

This was a sweet love story with all of the two families getting into Miller's romantic life and a chance for him to understand just how crazy they all are. I loved that he was able to tell and sort out feelings with his grandmother and that she was making such that he would be alright in the future. Darius was a special soul and I loved that he was secure enough to give Miller the help and support that he needed. Their relationship was special and both men were supportive of each other. Easy to read, feel and understand there were a lot of deep emotions in this story. This is an MM story with mature content.

Review: Kenton's Courage by M.A. Innes 4 of 5 stars

Kenton's Courage by M.A. Innes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kenton is an exciteable puppy and has met the handler of his dreams in Bane but he thinks that Bane is vanilla and has no idea what it is. Bane thinks that Kenton is bouncy, adorable, and slightly naughty, Kenton is everything Bane has always wanted in a partner. The only problem is that Bane isn’t as vanilla as he seems, but he isn’t sure how to bring that up to the possibly confused Kenton.

This was a sweet story on the outer edges of the Leashes and Lace series by Shaw Montgomery. I loved the way that Kenton and Bane sorted out the limits around his modelling work and the associated parties with friends. Some things seemed to happen quickly although the writing might have made the time pass quicker than I anticipated. Easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MM story with mature content with a BDSM-like D/s dynamic with puppy play.

NEW! Mated to the Gargoyle by Lisa Carlisle

When the statue awakens…

I love working in a private university library with its special collection of antiquarian books and works of art. My favourite sculpture is one of the massive gargoyle statues, one that’s perched near my desk. Visitors often remark how lifelike it is, and I’ll tease, “Maybe it is.”

One night, a frantic woman asks me to hide a book. It’s a fascinating one with intricate details and contains spells. When I’m shelving it after hours, I hear movement in the library.

Has someone broken in?

What I discover is far more shocking...

Mated to the Gargoyle is a fated mates, protector romance.

Review: NautiCal by Lucy Lennox 4 of 5 stars

NautiCal by Lucy Lennox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cal went back to the boat owned by a jerk called Prescott from the bar to apply for the chief mate's job but he was the owner’s cheating, gold-digging almost brother-in-law and Cal ended up stuffed in a closet when the ship left the harbour. The ship's owner found him and he agrees to be his fake boyfriend on a cruise through the British Virgin Islands to tempt Prescott to reveal his cheating ways. Jonathan Worthington isn’t just a billionaire, he’s funny and generous and a little bit of a control freak as well as being six feet of sleek, gorgeous silver fox perfection, and suddenly, it’s not just his yacht Cal is lusting over.

This was a sweet version of the fake boyfriend trope mixed in with a healthy dose of forced proximity. I loved Worth with his confidence and the way that Cal was able to unbalance him which produced fun results. I loved the way that their affection for each other came slowly and that it snuck up on them. I loved how clueless Worth was at times and that his sister had to prompt him. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: King Me by Lucy Lennox 4 of 5 stars

King Me by Lucy Lennox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

FBI Agent Dirk Falcon arrived at an art heist three years ago to find Kingston Wilde tied to a radiator claiming to be an innocent bystander but years later he discovered that King was a notorious art thief he had been tracking for years and had let go. After a priceless artefact goes missing, King is the only one who can help recover it and so Falcon has to work with King but never expected to fall for him. King knew it was time to quit and so headed home to Hobie, Texas, intending to hang up his lock picks for good but the FBI had other plans and Falcon approached him with an offer he couldn’t refuse: full immunity for my past crimes in exchange for helping him with one last job. The catch is that the job involves stealing from the man who taught King everything he knows and then double-crossed him years ago. Pulling this off means trusting Falcon and his team, but how does he trust the sexy agent when he’s staked his career on taking King down?

I loved this story with the complicated emotions around Falcon and King plus those around King and his former partner. The layers that expanded around the FBI team and their management added to the intrigue and confusion. The relationship between King and his family was special and it was great that they turned up in Paris for him. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Wreckless: Book Two by Sammy D. Adams 4 of 5 stars

Wreckless: Book Two by Sammy D. Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second and final book about Emmett and Finnegan. They are getting more into the relationship and yet Finn is very busy and stressed at work so he needs his Finny time more than ever. Can they take a break by the sea and when several disasters hit them are they strong enough to handle them?

I didn't enjoy this story as much as book one even though it does have the same star rating. There were several situations that they had to handle and those were written well but I did find a bit of this book a little like filler that could have been omitted and this book combined with part one to make it more complete. I fully appreciated Finn's viewpoint on several of the events in this book and was glad to see that he was able to give Emmy more than just spending money on his as they would have been more valuable to him. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BSDM-like DDLB dynamic.

Review: Wreckless: Book One by Sammy D. Adams 4 of 5 stars

Wreckless: Book One by Sammy D. Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emmett Locke doesn't do the bars and club scene let alone use an app and so has given up on love or finding a partner. Finnegan Walker the Fourth has no time for men who stupidly woo, harass or just eye-fuck him. Yes he is the Vice-president of the company at 26 and folks assume it is just that it is because of his name, but he is very bright and works hard so got it on merit. So he refused to be used and anyway, he has no energy at the end of the day to give to anyone else. Then their worlds collide in an auto accident and suddenly they both find everything they always wanted but didn't know about.

I loved this story with Emmy and Finny meeting and realising that Finny was little and that Emmy could be the perfect Daddy for him. Their learning process and the development of their relationship were very believable and I loved that generally their monetary differences didn't come up or were not causing them issues. I wish I could have hugged Finny as he seemed to need them with all the work he had to do. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BSDM-like DDLB dynamic.
