Review: Spitting off the Edge of the World by Courtney W. Dixon 4 of 5 stars

Spitting off the Edge of the World by Courtney W. Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Julien, numb despite his privileged life, hires Romeo for two weeks hoping to feel something again. Romeo, a sex worker with strict emotional boundaries and a painful past, plans to keep things detached — until Julien’s kindness begins breaking through his walls. What starts as an arrangement slowly becomes a connection neither expected.

Both Julien and Romeo come from horrendous lives, so it’s easy to understand why they gravitate toward each other the way they do. Julien gives Romeo a kind of “Pretty Woman” experience at first, but what really stood out to me was how they eventually settle into a quieter, more genuine partnership that feels right for both of them. The story is packed with big emotions — heartbreak, hope, and moments of real joy — creating a journey that’s dramatic, tender, and surprisingly moving. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Suck by Cora Rose by E.M. Lindsey 3 of 5 stars

Suck by Cora Rose by E.M. Lindsey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Everest Hale signs up for a government “ritual” after portals from Erethar open — but instead of war, the beings who arrive need something very specific from humans to survive. What should’ve been a simple arrangement becomes far more when Everest is paired with Rathyn of the Dark Vale. As their bond deepens, Everest realises the government isn’t telling the whole truth, and their fates are becoming tightly intertwined. In the end, it’s no longer just about saving Rathyn — it’s about what they mean to each other, and Everest doing his part to “save the world” with great enthusiasm.

I came away from this book feeling unsure how to take it. There were definitely emotions and feelings woven throughout, but I struggled with Everest — his constant arguing and heavy slang made it hard for me to connect with him. On the other hand, I absolutely loved Cielo, and I’m genuinely looking forward to his story. Overall, the whole thing felt bizarre in tone and execution, even though there were moments that stood out. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Healing the Omega by C.W. Gray 4 of 5 stars

Healing the Omega by C.W. Gray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dean Wagner has endured a lifetime of trauma — losing his newborn after an assault, surviving a cruel marriage, and only finding peace once his husband died and he reunited with his eldest son. Now safe in Hobson Hills with his omega sons, he finally lets himself hope for more. Raymond Potts, a gentle beta who’s fallen for Dean, worries about risking their friendship and the bond he’s built with the children. Still, their connection grows as they try to build something real despite age gaps and society’s expectations. But danger resurfaces when Michael Cook turns his attention back to the omega he hurt years ago.

This story beautifully shows the deep love and steady care Ray gives Dean and his family as Dean continues to heal from the abuse he suffered under his late husband. I loved watching that gentle support slowly grow into something deeper and more meaningful between them. Just when everyone thinks the danger is behind them, it resurfaces — and Ray is right there, protecting Dean and standing firmly by his side. It’s a sweet love story with touches of danger and drama, written in a way that’s easy to read and easy to feel. This was an MM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Review: Bennett's Dream by C.W. Gray 3 of 5 stars

Bennett's Dream by C.W. Gray
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Bennett and Marco already have a full, happy life with their kids and pets, but Bennett’s choice to have another baby — and then his heartbreak over a young trans girl in need — pushes their family to grow again. Marco, ever steady and devoted, steps up without hesitation, ready to expand their home and their hearts. Together, they find unexpected joy as they welcome Tali and build an even bigger, love‑filled family.

This novella beautifully highlights the deep, unwavering love between Bennett and Marco. Bennett’s soft heart means he can’t ignore a child in need — especially one struggling with their identity — and his fierce protectiveness shines through every page. Marco stands solidly beside him, supporting every decision as they open their home and expand their family once again. It’s a warm, emotional story filled with love, compassion, and the strength of a couple who always choose each other and the children who need them. This was an MM story with mature content set in the omegaverse.

Review: Shadows Never Leave by Lark Taylor 5 of 5 stars

Shadows Never Leave by Lark Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Dominic has spent a decade longing for Ryan, the man who walked away but never left his heart. He’s finally ready to claim the future he always imagined — except Ryan is now engaged. Determined and obsessed, Dominic is willing to do anything to win him back, waiting in the shadows and believing one truth: they belong together.

This story is driven by the sheer stubbornness and determination of both men, each refusing to back down from the path they’ve chosen. Over time, Dominic (with a little help from others) manages to spend more time with Ryan and slowly remind him of the love that never really disappeared. Their journey is packed with deep, powerful emotions on both sides, all of them easy to feel and understand as the tension between them builds. It’s an intense, emotional read that pulls you right into their struggle and refuses to let go. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Romancing the Omega by C.W. Gray 4 of 5 stars

Romancing the Omega by C.W. Gray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caden Benson, a stoic former lawyer turned romance author, thinks courting his omega should be simple — until he meets Yeo Cook, who’s starting over and deeply wary of alphas. As Caden awkwardly but sincerely wins him over, the two discover how perfectly they fit together. But their growing relationship is threatened by controlling grandparents and painful family secrets that could tear their new beginning apart.

I loved the undeniable connection between Caden and Yeo — a bond that grows into something truly special as Caden embraces every part of Yeo’s life and their family expands around them. Their strengths complement each other beautifully, and it was so satisfying to see how Yeo’s intelligence and Caden’s lawyer skills helped them shut down the threats coming their way. The story is full of emotions and heartfelt moments, making their journey easy to feel and impossible not to root for. A warm, emotional read that left me smiling. This was an MM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Review: Shadows Never Lie by Lark Taylor 5 of 5 stars

Shadows Never Lie by Lark Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ryan has spent his life in his twin’s shadow, watching Dominic take the place he always wanted. But when Dominic finally notices him and throws out a challenge, Ryan accepts — a choice that pulls him into something intense, intimate, and far darker than he expected. Their connection blurs truth and lies, dragging Ryan out of the shadows and into dangerous territory he may not be ready for.

This story is an emotional whirlwind, taking you deep into Ryan’s jealousy, anger, sorrow, determination, and disbelief as he tries to survive the mess Dominic and Max create around him. It’s gripping, intense, and honestly hard to read at times because Ryan’s pain is so easy to feel and understand. I was furious on his behalf, which is exactly why the book hits so hard. The drama is relentless, the feelings are raw, and the author doesn’t hold back. I just hope the second part of this duet finally makes Dominic and Max face the consequences of their behaviour, because Ryan deserves so much better. This was an MM story with mature content.
