Review: Homemade Kisses by C.W. Gray 4 of 5 stars

Homemade Kisses









Homemade Kisses by C.W. Gray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Demarien and his three omega friends return to Myrtlewood Bay to chase their dream of opening an inn and restaurant after Aunt Dahlia’s death. Just as they start rebuilding their lives, Demarien’s long‑time crush Boone Harding comes back to town after leaving the army, giving them an unexpected second chance. But the inn is a wreck, Dahlia’s inheritance is missing, and renovations are far harder than they imagined. As obstacles mount, Demarien and Boone try to build something real — hoping their relationship, and the omegas’ shared dream, can survive the chaos.

This was such a warm, emotional start to the series, built around the strong friendship between Demarien and his omega friends and the undeniable connection he shares with his childhood crush, Boone. Their bond feels instantly familiar and tender, and the way it grows alongside the omegas’ shared dream gives the story real heart. I loved the supporting cast around them — family, townsfolk, and friends who made Myrtlewood Bay feel lived‑in and real. The mix of rebuilding their lives, chasing their dreams, and navigating new love created a story full of emotions and feelings throughout. A lovely beginning to the series, and I can’t wait to see what happens to all of them next. This was an MM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Review: Hold Me Still by Aria Grace 3 of 5 stars

Hold Me Still: An M/M Daddy Caretaking Romance









Hold Me Still: An M/M Daddy Caretaking Romance by Aria Grace
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Trace has kept his world small because of his quiet, easily missed seizures, but everything shifts when Everett — a gentle bus driver — finds him after a stressful episode and stays by his side. In just a few minutes together, Trace feels a rare sense of safety, and for the first time, he can imagine a life where he doesn’t have to face everything alone.

This was such a sweet novella, centred on a sick little who was treated as something precious rather than broken, and a caregiving Daddy who made sure he always felt safe. I loved how Everett’s gentle, attentive care had such a powerful effect on Trace — he never stood a chance of not falling in love with him. The dynamic between them was tender and heart‑warming, and the story itself was the kind that pulls at the heartstrings while still making you smile. A soft, comforting read with a beautiful connection at its centre. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Review: The Spy's Familiar by T.J. Nichols 4 of 5 stars

The Spy's Familiar









The Spy's Familiar by T.J. Nichols
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Orion “Tooth” Templeton finally gets the mission that could take down the Shadow Board — and give him the revenge he’s waited for. But he’s forced to work with two witches: his fated mate, who’s straight and doesn’t want him, and a secretive prince who tempts him in dangerous ways. As secrets unravel and the danger rises, Orion must choose who he wants to stand with — the mate who won’t let him go, or the prince who can only offer a life lived in the shadows.

This instalment really highlighted the undeniable connection between Orion and his fated mate Jacob, even though things were rocky at first as Jacob insisted he didn’t want Orion, yet they still had to work together. Adding the Prince into the assignment only complicated everything, especially as he and Orion connected purely for physical relief and muddied the emotional waters. I loved how the story pushed forward the conflict with the Shadow Board, giving us a clearer understanding of who they are and why they’re such a threat. There was plenty of danger and drama as the team uncovered secrets and pieced together the truth. Amid all that, the emotional tension between the two mates grew beautifully, with Jacob slowly accepting the undeniable bond between him and Orion. And the intrigue surrounding the Prince and his family added a delicious extra layer to the story. This was an MM story with mature content.

Hexes and Hops









Hexes and Hops by Jacki James by Lori Ames
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Declan is settling into life in magical Ravenstone, enjoying the beer festival, his protective wolf‑shifter boyfriend Gideon, and planning his bakery — until a brewmaster is found dead in a vat of beer. Rumours, hexes, and small‑town secrets pull Declan and Gideon straight into the mystery, and in Ravenstone, trouble is unavoidable… especially when the secret at the centre turns deadly.

Another cosy paranormal mystery in Ravenstone, and I loved how Declan and Gideon continued to deepen their connection in this instalment. Their relationship has such a warm, steady feel, and it fits perfectly with the town’s quirky charm. The beer festival chaos was delightful, and the misfits were as fun and unpredictable as ever. It all came together in a light, magical mystery that keeps the series feeling comforting and entertaining. This was an MM story.

Review: Max's Little Girl by Pepper North 3 of 5 stars

Max's Little Girl









Max's Little Girl by Pepper North
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Saylor has lived in fear since witnessing a violent robbery, but everything changes when special forces officer Max Zion helps her through a panic attack. His calm, protective presence quickly becomes the first place she’s felt truly safe. As their connection deepens, Max helps her find stability and trust again, giving her the grounding she needs to heal from her trauma.

This was a sweet Daddy story where Max finds his forever little girl, and I loved how naturally he kept Saylor calm and grounded. Their connection felt gentle and reassuring, with just enough spark to make their dynamic engaging. I also really enjoyed the way the other little girls supported each other when the team was deployed added a warm, communal touch to the story. There was a bit of danger and drama, but not a lot of deep emotions, making this a nice, quick read that focuses more on comfort and connection than heavy feelings. This was an MF story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLG dynamic.

Review: The Geek and the Ghost by Csmbria Hebert 5 of 5 stars

The Geek and the Ghost









The Geek and the Ghost by Cambria Hebert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rett is seconds from death when a mysterious, smoking, shadow‑stepping guardian stranger saves him. Rett thinks he’ll never see him again — until the man reappears right as Rett is about to give up, sticking close, causing chaos, and calling him “pipgeek” for reasons unknown. With a drug lord calling in a dangerous favor Rett owes, things spiral fast. Having a hero with a villain complex glued to his side might keep him alive… but protecting his heart is a much harder fight.

I loved this story with the undeniable connection between Rett and his shadowy hero was gripping from the start, and the humour had me laughing out loud more than once. Rett’s tough, guardian might act like a hardened fighter, but he has a soft centre just for Rett, and that contrast made their dynamic irresistible. The plot was packed with danger and drama, especially as Rett kept stumbling into trouble and his hero kept saving him in the most intense, chaotic ways. There were also some genuinely moving moments, both in the slow build of their relationship and in the revelations about Rett’s past and how he ended up living on the streets. A dramatic, emotional, and unexpectedly funny story with a bond that’s impossible to ignore and so I was swept away from start to finish. This was an MM story with mature content.

The Bodyguard's Familiar









The Bodyguard's Familiar by T.J. Nichols
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Moon Jae‑young (Jay), a mind‑reading witch, is assigned to protect Caleb Brammer, a razorback shifter who barely escaped an attack on his assassin family. Their forced proximity turns tense flirting into real heat, and Jae‑young soon discovers Caleb is his fated mate. Together, they hunt the killer while navigating dangerous family ties — wanting each other is the last thing they need, but exactly what they want.

This story was packed with action, danger, and drama, and I really enjoyed how Jay and Caleb started out fiery and defensive before slowly learning to trust each other. Their dynamic made every moment of forced proximity feel sharp and engaging. I loved how the different threads of the plot wove together — their growing relationship, the familiar bond, the revelations about their families, and the danger closing in around them. Watching them navigate all of that while figuring out what they meant to each other kept the tension high in the best way. A fast‑moving, dramatic story full of danger, drama, and emotion, with a relationship that builds beautifully as the stakes rise. This was an MM story with mature content.
