Flights and Sights: Foggy Basin Season 3 by Riley Long
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Callum plans to endure one family reunion in Foggy Basin and then leave, but meeting Paxton mid‑flight and then reconnecting with him in town shifts everything. Their fake‑dating arrangement, late‑night talks, and shared fight to save Paxton’s meadery turn a simple favour into something warm and dangerously close to love. Now Callum has to decide whether Foggy Basin is just a stop or a place worth staying.

I really enjoyed this story, especially Callum’s wild, chaotic family and their reunion antics — though the way they dismissed what happened in his past relationship felt very wrong and added a sharp emotional edge. Paxton’s determination to grow the family meadery while slowly getting to know Callum was wonderful, and the pull between them was immediate and undeniable. Their connection had warmth and charm, but Callum’s slow, painful decision‑making at the end definitely affected my rating; it dragged out a moment that should have felt clearer and more confident. There were emotions and feelings throughout that were all easy to understand although I would have loved even more depth. A sweet small‑town romance with Callum’s family chaos, Paxton’s honey‑sweet charm, and a love worth rooting for. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Vigilante Twink and the Cop by Jessica Jackman 4 of 5 stars

Vigilante Twink and the Cop: A Dark MM Forbidden Age Gap Romance by Jessica Jackman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lennox, a lifelong good cop, is shaken when a series of theatrical, message‑laden murders makes him question who the real monsters are. Then he meets Micah — sharp, charming, and always suspiciously close to the case. Lennox knows he should treat him as a suspect, maybe even cuff him, yet he keeps letting Micah slip away. He tells himself he needs more evidence, but one wink from Micah makes him realise he’s already falling.

I loved this story, especially the way Lennox, a man who has always lived by the law, seemed to quietly agree with the killings because the system had so clearly failed the victims. It felt like he was wrestling with his own morality, and I also got the strong sense that his partner knew exactly what was happening and chose to ignore it too. The relationship between Lennox and Micah began like a simple hookup but grew into something far more caring, with Micah looking after the exhausted detective in ways Lennox didn’t expect. Lennox suspected pieces of the truth about their connection, but the reveal still landed with real impact. At the heart of the story is the reminder of why the victims were chosen and the significance behind each action — a thread that adds emotional weight to every chapter. It’s a gripping, emotional read that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves you thinking long after the last page. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Beautiful Disaster by Courtney W. Dixon 5 of 5 stars

Beautiful Disaster by Courtney W. Dixon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Mason finds an unexpected, healing connection with Jinx after years of avoiding relationships, while Jinx — recovering from deep trauma — discovers that Mason’s steady guidance gives him back control and autonomy. Their bond frees them both, but Jinx must choose whether staying with Mason helps him grow or holds Mason back.

This was a deeply emotional, beautifully dramatic story where Jinx finally gets the happily ever after he’s been craving. I loved how he needed Mason to help heal the wounds of his past, but just as powerfully, Mason needed Jinx to pull him out of his own heartbreak. Their bond felt mutual, necessary, and transformative. Jinx was an absolute brat in the best way, and Mason was the perfect Dom to handle both his fire and his PTSD with strength and sensitivity. The ending was wonderfully dramatic, exactly the kind of payoff their journey deserved. The story is packed with big, complex emotions that are handled clearly and with care. It’s absolutely a book that will make you cry and then smile. This was an MM story with mature and and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.

Review: Consort of the Dragon King by Zarina Aston by Ariella Zoelle 3 of 5 stars

Consort of the Dragon King by Zarina Aston by Ariella Zoelle
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Kitsuki’s fated mate finally returns after six hundred years, but their reunion is bittersweet — the light‑hearted prince Kitsuki once loved is now a stoic, battle‑scarred king. As they struggle to bridge the gap between who they were and who they’ve become, rival suitors and rising political danger threaten their fragile reconnection. With war looming, Kitsuki must claim his beloved in a Royal Consort Fatebonding ceremony before outside forces, or old heartache, tear them apart.

I was genuinely thrilled to see Kitsuki and Auslin reunited after six hundred years apart — their bond has always felt powerful and inevitable. But there were parts of the story that didn’t quite make sense to me. The decision to open their relationship to include Mateo felt confusing, especially since Kitsuki had waited so long and avoided all others. That shift didn’t feel fully grounded in the emotional logic of their reunion. I also struggled with Auslin’s constant avoidance of conflict, even when confrontation was clearly unavoidable. It added tension, but not always in a way that felt true to the stakes of the story. Still, their connection remained strong, and the emotional threads were clear and easy to follow. Their reunion had real heart even if some choices along the way left me puzzled.  This was an MMM story with mature content.

Silk and Honey by Kota Quinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Avery is still drawn to Gideon five months after their one night together, and moving to a small town to chase his design dreams only brings them closer again. Gideon thinks they’re opposites — a runway‑bound designer and a quiet beekeeper — but when a harsh critic threatens Avery’s future, his protective instincts reveal the feelings he’s been trying not to have.

This was such a sweet, smile‑worthy story, bringing Avery and Gideon back together in Foggy Basin after their first meeting in No Sleep Til Pride. Avery’s focus on his fashion collection and Gideon’s worries about their age gap added just the right amount of tension, while their chemistry remained warm and undeniable. I loved how real and found family helped them carve out time for each other, giving their relationship space to grow naturally. Their well‑deserved happily ever after felt heartfelt and satisfying, making this a definite feel‑good read. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Starlight by T.J. Nichols 4 of 5 stars

Starlight by T.J. Nichols
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Akai, a dramatic mothman, secretly watches Cole as he builds a cabin in the woods, telling himself it’s only to keep the human safe — though his feelings say otherwise. Cole has sensed a presence for months, but during a meteor shower he finally sees the creature shift from man to wolf to something winged. His warning shots leave Akai injured at his feet, forcing both men to confront a shared, painful past.

This story had an undeniable connection between Akai and Cole, one that stretched across every moment their paths crossed, past and present. Their initial reluctance to accept the possibility of a mate bond added a welcome layer of angst, and their curiosity about each other’s very different anatomy was handled in a thoughtful, non‑sensational way that fit the tone of the romance. The emotions throughout were clear, easy to understand, and gave the story real heart. I did find the ending a little strange — they seemed bonded and committed, yet not living together — which left me with questions. Still, the journey between them was compelling, tender, and full of feeling. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Dreams and Reptiles by R.L. Merrill 4 of 5 stars

Dreams and Reptiles: A Small Town MM Romance by R.L. Merrill
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Francis heads to Foggy Basin for a fresh start after My Demise, finds a quirky property that inspires him to build a retreat, and reconnects with the firefighter he kissed at Pride. Next door, Kendall works to create a reptile sanctuary and quickly realizes Francis isn’t a wealthy newcomer but someone who deserves care and love — something Kendall is more than ready to give.

This was a great feel‑good story that’s guaranteed to make you smile. I loved watching Francis turn his life around after some awful experiences and build a place where other people could chase their dreams too — it gave the whole book a warm, hopeful core. Francis and Kendall choosing to slow down and truly get to know each other before anything physical was a lovely touch, and it made their connection feel even more genuine. Their pull toward each other was immediate and undeniable, and the emotions throughout were easy to feel and understand. The ending did slip into a bit of farce, even though everything wrapped up well. Still, the charm, heart, and sweetness of their journey made this a delightful read. This was an MM story with mature content.
