Fake It for Christmas by Raleigh Ruebins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Shane's only good at two things: sports and holiday spirit. But this Christmas feels different, even though he should have everything he wants. His family’s bugging him again about why he's still single, and he's getting desperate. Rowen’s nothing like him. He’s smart, accomplished, and back in Tennessee from the city,not by choice. Even though he’s straight, he agrees to be Shane's fake boyfriend for his family’s Christmas party.

This was a sweet Christmas story but I did struggle with the farce around whether to tell people about the fake relationship or admit their feelings for each other. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Bloom: Part Two by Gianni Holmes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bloom is truth. Logan's entire existence is a lie. Together they're an impossible equation with no solution. Logan thought he could outrun his past, bury it in the life he built as a surgeon. But the moment he fell for Bloom, everything unravelled. Now his face is everywhere, and they're coming for him. He should run, but Bloom is his weakness, his obsession. Staying puts him in danger. Leaving will destroy him. How does he choose between the man he loves and the life he can’t escape? Is it selfish to ask Bloom to leave his family behind and go on the run?

This was a story full of emotions, feelings, danger and drama. I love these two men who are obsessed with each other and belong together no matter where they are. There were lots of big emotions and feelings in this story. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

** Please note that you need to read part one first.

No Business Like Snow Business by Lisa Henry by J.A. Rock
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Harvey Novak loves living in Christmas Falls. He loves his job running the Festival Museum too, except when it means he has to deal with his ex, who’s putting together the town’s newest tourist brochures. There are a lot of things Harvey is willing to do for Christmas Falls, but playing nice with the guy who cheated on him isn’t one of them. When a real-life Christmas mystery falls into Harvey’s lap, it offers the perfect distraction. And the guy with the mystery is pretty distracting too. Sterling van Ruyven has come to Christmas Falls to look for his long-lost uncle, and enlists Harvey’s help to track him down. It’s all business if there’s an extra van Ruyven heir out there somewhere, Sterling needs to know about it. He isn’t expecting to actually enjoy spending time in this ridiculous Christmas-themed town with the cute guy from the museum. Their fun flirtation turns into a holiday fling, but that’s all it can ever be. Harvey’s heart belongs in Christmas Falls, and Sterling hasn’t found his yet. But maybe Christmas is the time for miracles after all.

This was a sweet Christmas story with Harvey solving a mystery to help Sterling and the two men becoming closer as they worked together. This felt like an instalove story with the ending but it was very sweet. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Fey Regency by S. Rodman 4 of 5 stars

Fey Regency by S. Rodman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ollie tried to kill a fey prince. But then Tristan called him pretty and made him his pet. All his life he's been different. His grandmother proudly declared that they were descendants of the Fair Folk. He thought she was batty. Until the fey invaded Earth and he saw that he looked just like them. He had to leave his grandmother all alone. Run, hide and survive. His life was hell, and it was all the fey's fault. So when he got the perfect opportunity to take a prince out, he seized it with both hands. Except he messed it up and was claimed as a pet by Prince Tristan Y Mabinogi. A flame haired himbo who is convinced life is about pleasure and gratification and the only reason he's a moody, grumpy bastard is because he hasn't had enough of either. A status he is determined to rectify. Ollie'd rather die than admit it to him, but he might just be on to something.

This was an extreme grumpy/sunshine story which I loved as it was set in this world where the fey have returned and find love with their pets. I did find Ollie hard to warm up to as he had no filter or ability to control his acting out just as if he was a child. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Wedding Bet by Raleigh Ruebins 3 of 5 stars

Wedding Bet by Raleigh Ruebins
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Jamie made a bet: that he'd be Landry's perfect fake boyfriend for this wedding.

Now he desperately doesn't want to lose. Jamie acts like he has it together. But he frys eggs for a living and can barely pay rent. He's a hopeless romantic but still chronically alone. “Lucky” Landry Lucock is the definition of having it together. Wealthy, handsome, and completely out of Jamie's league. Guys like him don’t want someone like Jamie. But now he’s calling him boyfriend, even though we’re anything but. Jamie made a bet with Landry that he could be his fake boyfriend for this wedding week and put on a killer show for his awful ex. Now they're sharing everything, and he keeps ending up in his bed. He's telling himself this will never be more than pretend. But there's kissing even when no one’s around. But something fake is so damn addictive.

I enjoyed this story with the two men who were pretending until they weren't. I struggled with their relationship which was very impersonal and strained for much of the story. I enjoyed this last part of the story when it felt more real and there was some romance. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
