Review: Alpha's Sacrifice by Nora Phoenix 4 of 5 stars

Alpha's Sacrifice by Nora Phoenix

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Four men are brought together by fate, connected in more powerful ways than they’d ever imagined. Lidon is a powerful alpha-cop, who helps a vulnerable omega through his heat and connects with him in a way that leaves him reeling. 
Vieno is an omega who suffers from a medical condition that requires an alpha’s help through his heat. It was supposed to be mere sex, but his instant attraction to the alpha goes much deeper. Enar is an alpha doctor who works himself to the bone hoping it will drown out the inner voices that scream at him he’s not a real alpha. Finally, there is Palani a sassy beta reporter who will do anything to save his omega lover and childhood friend Vieno even if it means watching another man claim him. Amidst political unrest, evidence of corruption and fraud, and a life-threatening medical issue, four men figure out what and who they are to each other.

I enjoyed this story with all the pain and love that all the men felt and how they were able to find a way to come together as a poly relationship and work together to solve the mysteries that were becoming clear about Vieno's health problem and just how widespread it was. All had their own role to play which was crucial and all had their motivations, feelings and emotions. Easy to read, feel and understand. This is an MMMM story with mature content set in the omegaverse with mpreg.

Review: Haunted by Charity Parkerson 4 of 5 stars

Haunted by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s Alastair’s life mission to wipe out every leader of the assassin programs around the world. It’s the only way for him to live with the nightmares. Over the years, not only has Alastair made progress in his goal, he’s also saved a few teens who were left for dead when they didn’t make the cut. He never expects one of those survivors would end up saving him. Alastair rescued Reed from a hellish existence. He set Reed up with a new life and gave him everything he needed to keep going. Somewhere along the line, Alastair became Reed’s reason for living. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know how to make Alastair stop seeing him as a victim. He needs Alastair to see him as the man who loves him even if Alastair doesn’t love himself.

I loved this story with the horror of what they had both faced, their coping strategies and the sheer grit and determination Reed had to live and be with the men he loves. I loved Reed's new friend who tried to give him some help and support. As with all of these books in the series, there was some darkness and danger involved but thankfully that helped Alastair to realise that he had to act on his feelings. In the end, they were a cute couple they just had some rough edges too. Easy to read, lots of raw feelings and easy to understand. This is an MM story with mature content.

Review: Parts of Us by Cara Dee 4 of 5 stars

Parts of Us by Cara Dee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cameron. No, Lucian and KC are still happy living together but as with all relationships, there are some challenges. Noa has still not told his mother that he is in a relationship with KC who was his stepfather and Lucian has not heeded the warnings that he needs to slow down. But the smiles between Lucian and KC still showed their deep love and affection after their thirty-year-long friendship. Their dynamics had evolved and were all parts of one whole. Then one night everything screeched to a stop when Lucian collapsed and an ambulance took Lucian with them leaving Cameron with broken trust and intense hurt. They couldn’t be us without him and if one was missing, they were just parts.

Wow - this story had some major dramatics, emotions and feelings. Poor Cameron was rudderless and I was glad that their community and friends came to the fore to both help and support him as well as read Lucien the riot act as to what he had done. I think they all had to show just how strong they all were but it proved that their dynamic worked. As usual, there were shenanigans between the brats and the sadists. I was a little disappointed that the cruise was covered in an epilogue as it deserved more words than that. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MMMM story with mature content with BDSM-like DDLB, D/s and M/s dynamics.

Review: Only Orlando by Charlie Novak 4 of 5 stars

Only Orlando by Charlie Novak
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Orlando thought that hooking up with not one, but two gorgeous men would be the perfect antidote to his Saturday night boredom especially as they knew how to push all his buttons. It was only supposed to be a one-time thing, but Charles and Jude are utterly irresistible and he can’t help but go back for more. Not only are they sexy, charming, and determined to spoil him rotten, but they also want to fulfil his deepest desire of having a Sir and a Daddy. But the two of them are already married and even though their relationship has always been open, they’ve never considered inviting anyone in for more than a fling but the more time they spend together, the more Orlando can feel himself falling for them. The three men fit together so perfectly it’s like they were made for each other, but will they ever consider changing their entire lives for him even if the only thing he wants is to be their Orlando?

This was a sweet story on the periphery of the The Court series of books by the same author. Large parts of this was around the sex that they had but it did also cover the dynamics of their relationship and how Orlando felt insecure being with a married couple who were established and together. I did like the way that Charles and Jude balanced each other well and that Jude was a sub for Charles as much as Orlando was, it was just that he had the confidence to call him on his actions when it was necessary. I enjoyed that money was covered and that Orlando stuck to his principles and that he had to be able to contribute as equally as he could to major things. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MMM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s and DDLB dynamics.

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.
