Felix is pining for his next-door neighbour, Deimos, but his face blindness makes him think no one would want a relationship with him. When Felix has to go to his grammy’s funeral, Deimos offers to pose as his fake boyfriend—yet the “pretend” quickly turns real.

This story is all about an undeniable pull between two damaged men who fall for each other—despite both believing they don’t deserve love. Watching them slowly let someone in (and learn to trust it) was heartbreaking and beautiful. They don’t just find each other, they grow through the pain, and finally realise that being together is what matters most. Packed with lots of emotions and feelings, it’s a deeply satisfying love story about healing, hope, and second chances. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sully keeps dreaming of a masked man, and the dreams awaken unexpected sexual fantasies. He’s then saved in real life by Ezra—new to his family—who turns out to be connected to a dangerous killer named Nine. Despite family distrust and his own unresolved past, Ezra’s intense dominance pulls Sully in as Nine escalates the threat, leaving them unsure whether they’ll survive or ever get a happy ending.

This story is packed with danger, drama, and raw emotion—and I especially loved Eight’s obsession with Sully, which is his version of love. There’s an undeniable pull between them that feels intense, inevitable, and impossible to ignore. The plot keeps the tension high while pulling in all the numbered men and their partners, making the whole series feel connected and alive. I also really enjoyed the twists and turns that built toward the end, and the way the story wraps up with a satisfying ending that feels right for the series. A highly addictive read with plenty of heat, suspense, and heart. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Review: Heavy Hand by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars

Heavy Hand by E.M. Lindsey

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Max isn’t pathetic—he just tends to get emotionally attached when someone shows him attention. After a one-night stand with Jeremiah, who seems different from his past hookups, Max is left with only a note the next morning. When they unexpectedly reconnect—since Jeremiah owns a nearby restaurant—Max finds himself drawn to him despite Jeremiah’s clear reluctance to pursue a relationship. For the first time, Max feels something worth fighting for in this friends-with-benefits romance filled with humour, chaos, and heartfelt moments.

This story completely won me over with the undeniable pull between Max and Jeremiah—it’s magnetic, complicated, and impossible to ignore. Even when they try to keep things casual, the connection between them feels deeper than either is ready to admit. What really stood out was how both characters carry their own demons, yet somehow find strength in facing them together. Their journey isn’t easy, but it feels real and earned, making their growth as individuals and as a pair incredibly satisfying. There are a lot of big emotions packed into this book, but they’re handled with care and authenticity, never feeling overwhelming or forced. It’s a heartfelt, messy, and ultimately hopeful romance that lingers long after the last page. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Santo by Joe Satoria 3 of 5 stars

Santo: An MM Mafia Romance by Joe Satoria
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Santo Bianchi, the new mafia boss, lives by strict rules about control and never getting attached — until he meets Isaiah, a smart, submissive young man who wants stability and secretly longs for a Daddy. Isaiah’s sweetness and vulnerability break through every wall Santo has built. As their bond deepens, rival crime families sense weakness and move in, forcing Santo to choose between protecting his empire or the little who’s become his everything. Isaiah must decide if he can accept the danger that comes with loving a mafia Daddy and fully submit to Santo.

This story delivered a gripping mix of danger, devotion, and tenderness. The connection between Santo and Isaiah is intense from the start — a bond built on trust, need, and a fierce emotional pull neither of them can ignore. What really stood out was Santo’s protectiveness; every moment with Isaiah brings out a softer, deeply caring side of a man who’s spent his life wrapped in power and violence. Amid the drama and threats from rival families, their relationship remains the heart of the book. The contrast between the danger surrounding them and the gentleness Santo shows Isaiah creates a dynamic that’s both compelling and incredibly sweet. A passionate, dramatic romance with a powerful Daddy and the boy who becomes his whole world. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Review: My Treasure by Roe Horvat 1 of 5 stars

My Treasure by Roe Horvat
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Prince Gillam flees an arranged marriage to a cruel man just before his first heat, only to collapse in the forest with wolves closing in. Instead of dying, he’s swept away by a terrifying winged creature. When he wakes, he finds himself safe, warm, and being tenderly cared for by a handsome stranger named Fergus — leaving Gillam to wonder not just who rescued him, but what he’s been taken by.

This novella had an intriguing premise, but ultimately it left me disappointed. The relationship between Gillam and Fergus felt too high‑level, with very little emotional depth or genuine connection shown on the page. Almost everything between them was attributed to the mating bond or Gillam’s heat, which made their dynamic feel more like circumstance than choice. I wanted to feel the tenderness, fear, wonder, or longing that should come with a rescue and a growing bond, but those emotions never really materialised. Without that development, the story felt rushed and lacked the feelings that make a pairing believable. A promising idea, but the emotional core just wasn’t there. This was an MM story with mature content set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Review: Fine Line by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars

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

Paris moves to Key Largo for a fresh start, but he quickly finds himself drawn to his sweet, Deaf neighbour, Ben — even after overhearing Ben’s very enthusiastic nights with his FWB. Ben’s kindness and quiet charm stir feelings Paris has never let himself want. Despite his tough exterior, Paris longs to open up and be vulnerable, hoping Ben will have the patience to wait while he learns how to believe in something real.

This story hit me right in the heart. Paris’s dysfunctional childhood — one that taught him not to trust, not to hope, and certainly not to form real relationships — shaped so much of who he is. Watching him slowly unlearn that pain was incredibly moving. And Ben’s experience as a Deaf man surrounded by hearing people who never bothered to learn sign language added its own layer of quiet heartbreak. His loneliness was different from Paris’s, but just as deep. What made the book shine was the connection between them. Their chemistry, their passion, and the way they instinctively understood each other created something tender and powerful. Seeing them build a space where both could finally feel seen was beautiful. A heartfelt, emotional romance that balances vulnerability, desire, and the slow, steady work of healing. This was an MM story with mature content.
