Medium to Well Matched by Edie Montreux
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wayne has sworn off dating and keeps to himself, while Foster — the shy neighbour down the hall — wishes he could break through Wayne’s grumpy exterior. When Wayne’s mischievous spirit grandmother intervenes, he’s forced to face the clairvoyance he’s long denied and his growing feelings for Foster. With Foster in danger, Wayne must step up, accept who he is, and maybe open the door to love.

A charming, emotional story with an undeniable pull between Wayne and Foster — two men who are instantly drawn to each other even if Wayne tries very hard to pretend otherwise. Wayne’s grandmother’s meddling was hilarious and surprisingly effective, making sure the two of them had absolutely no excuse not to meet and finally start something real. I loved Foster’s quiet determination to get to know Wayne, and the patience he showed as Wayne worked through his hesitation. The predatory agent added a genuinely tense edge to the plot and gave Wayne’s grandmother another dramatic moment to step in. The mix of supernatural nudging, family complications, and the growing bond between Wayne and Foster made this a heartfelt read full of emotions that were easy to understand and feel right alongside them. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Pretty Boy by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars

Pretty Boy by E.M. Lindsey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Victor is ready to propose, and Oliver has been waiting to say yes. One summer day becomes the beginning of their forever as they navigate mishaps, nerves, and returning friends on their way to the altar. Pretty Boy is an epilogue filled with swoon, sweetness, a touch of angst, found family, and the future they once only dreamed of.

A deeply emotional and satisfying conclusion to Victor and Oliver’s story. Their connection has always run hot and intense, but here it reaches a new depth — two men utterly obsessed with each other in a way that feels both consuming and beautifully mutual. I loved how the story let those emotions breathe, showing just how fiercely they choose one another. The supporting characters were woven in so naturally, adding warmth, humour, and grounding to the intensity of Victor and Oliver’s bond. Altogether, this finale delivers everything their journey promised: passion, vulnerability, and a hard‑won happily ever after that feels completely earned. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Halo by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars

Halo by E.M. Lindsey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Victor accidentally gets into the wrong car, and Oliver — who works in a line of work few would describe kindly — decides not to throw him out. Both men hide who they really are, and by the time the truth begins to surface, their connection is already too strong to ignore. Victor sees goodness in Oliver even when Oliver can’t see it in himself, but circumstances pull them apart for months. During that time, Oliver realises he’s willing to fight for what — and who — he wants, even if their love seems star‑crossed from the start.

An unlikely match on the surface, Victor and Oliver share an undeniable connection that grows beautifully from a chance encounter into something meaningful. I loved watching Oliver gently open Victor’s world, giving him experiences and freedoms his strict upbringing never allowed. That tenderness made their bond feel both intimate and transformative. The story was full of emotions that are easy to feel right alongside them — longing, fear, hope, and the slow realisation that they might finally have found someone who sees them clearly. A heartfelt, emotionally rich read about two men who give each other the chance at happiness they’ve always been denied. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Fire in Cabin 27 by T.L. Travis 3 of 5 stars

Fire in Cabin 27: Double-Booked for the Holidays Series by T.L. Travis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A sassy human omega on the run from his heat and a grumpy dragon trying to escape his meddling family both end up double‑booked in the same remote cabin just as a snowstorm hits. Forced together by circumstance — and undeniable chemistry — their holiday getaway quickly turns into something far hotter and far more chaotic than either planned.

A sweet, fast‑paced story with an undeniable spark between the two men, whose connection shifts quickly from strangers to fated mates. Their bond felt natural and warm, and I especially enjoyed how their dynamic deepened once that fated‑mate pull came into play. The instalove vibe meant the romance moves quickly, and I would’ve loved a bit more detailed character development to flesh out their individual journeys. Still, the emotions were strong throughout, and the way they fit together — offering comfort, understanding, and a sense of belonging — makes their relationship easy to root for. This was an MM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Review: His One and Only by Charity Parkerson 4 of 5 stars

His One and Only by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Valon is a rockstar spiralling under the pressure of fame and the destructive habits keeping him afloat. Marc, his longtime fan turned bodyguard, quickly realises Valon is hiding something serious and becomes determined to uncover the truth. As their connection deepens, both men struggle with their own secrets — and Marc may be the only one who can help Valon find a way out.

This story builds a beautiful connection between Valon and Marc, starting with friendship and slowly shifting into something deeper and more life‑changing. I loved how Marc gave Valon exactly what he’d been missing — time, attention, and the space to finally breathe and understand his own feelings instead of running from them. Their bond feels steady and supportive, and they truly give each other a real chance at happiness. There’s a lot of emotion woven through the book, not just from the two men but from the people who care about them, and that emotional depth makes their journey even more rewarding. A heartfelt, moving read about healing, trust, and finding someone who sees you clearly. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Dagger Daddy by Zack Wish 3 of 5 stars

Dagger Daddy: An Age Gap Russian Mafia Romance by Zack Wish

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Landon, a 23‑year‑old law student from a powerful crime family, is kidnapped by Ivan Zorin — a lethal Bratva assassin known for his skill with knives and his cold precision. Ivan’s orders are to keep Landon alive for ransom, but their dynamic shifts quickly once Landon discovers he enjoys Ivan’s strict control and the intense chemistry between them. As desire mixes with danger, Landon begins to trust the man who should be his enemy. But when Landon’s father refuses to pay the ransom, Ivan is forced to choose between loyalty to the Bratva and the man he’s come to care for, leaving Landon’s life hanging in the balance.

There’s a strong, magnetic connection between Landon and Ivan from the start, and I liked how that bond deepened as Landon began leaning into his “little” tendencies — first as a way to manipulate Ivan, and then as something far more genuine. Their dynamic grows into more than danger and desire; it becomes emotional, too, even if the story leans toward instalove at times. The tension of their situation keeps things moving, but the ending felt very abrupt and almost like an about‑face, which was a bit disappointing after such a charged buildup. Still, the chemistry, the shifting power between them, and the emotional undercurrents from both men made it an engaging read. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Review: Breaking the Mold by Kate Hawthorne 4 of 5 stars

Breaking the Mold by Kate Hawthorne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Riggs, a widowed tattoo artist still healing from the loss of his husband, isn’t looking for love when nineteen‑year‑old Smith faints during his first tattoo. But their unexpected spark only grows stronger when they cross paths again at a kink club, revealing a chemistry neither can ignore. Smith, long overshadowed by his overprotective brothers, finally starts pursuing what he wants — including Riggs. As their relationship deepens, they must navigate age differences, lingering grief, and the return of someone from Riggs’s past who threatens their fragile new happiness. Both men are broken in different ways, but together they might have a chance at a future they never imagined.

This was a really enjoyable story with an undeniable pull between Riggs and Smith — the kind of chemistry that feels immediate yet grounded in the way their kinks and desires align so naturally. Their dynamic fits together beautifully, giving their relationship a sense of inevitability. I especially loved how open‑hearted Smith was, not just in exploring what he wanted with Riggs, but in accepting the lingering presence of Riggs’s late husband with such maturity and compassion. It added a lovely emotional depth to their connection. There are plenty of feelings running through this book — from both men and from the people who matter to them — and those emotional layers make their journey even more satisfying. A heartfelt, passionate read with characters who feel genuinely worth rooting for. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.
