Avenging Kelly by Sam E. Kraemer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kelly, fresh out of the Disciplinary Barracks, is determined to uncover the truth about his sister’s kidnapping and pregnancy. London is grieving his friend Mathis and hunting the hit‑and‑run driver responsible. When Kelly arrives at the Victorian full of anger and questions, London steps in to help — and neither expects the powerful attraction that grows as they pursue justice together.

This was definitely a mystery‑and‑thriller‑driven story, with Kelly and London working together to uncover what really happened to Kelly during his time in Disciplinary — and who was responsible for the terrible events involving his sister Mia. As they dug deeper, they also explored the undeniable connection growing between them, even while danger and tension surrounded every step of their investigation. I liked the surprise reveal of who killed Mathis; it added another sharp twist to an already layered mystery. It was wonderful to see Kelly finally find some happiness, even though it arrived at a strange, chaotic moment when both men were consumed by their search for answers. The story was full of emotions and feelings that were easy to understand and feel right along with them, and the ending delivered a well‑deserved happily ever after for both men. I did find myself wondering what happened next — especially how the military handled everything once the truth became public. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Love Comes in Darkness by Andrew Grey 4 of 5 stars

Love Comes in Darkness by Andrew Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Howard has fought his whole life to keep his independence as a blind man, but an argument with his boyfriend leaves him stranded on the roadside — until Gordy, a kind, quietly helpful stranger, steps in. Their connection grows just as Howard receives devastating news: his sister has died, leaving her young daughter in his care. Now facing his biggest challenge yet, Howard must learn when accepting help is strength, not weakness — and decide whether Gordy is the one man who can support him without ever limiting his freedom.

I loved this emotional story about independent Howard, whose world is shaken first by being left alone on the freeway, then by his sister’s death, and finally by taking on the care of his niece Sophia. With the steady help of Gordy and his friends, Howard navigates every challenge including the prejudices he faces as a blind man without losing the fierce independence he’s fought so hard for. One of my favourite parts was seeing Howard return to his own home and regain almost all of that independence, choosing the help he needed on his terms. I also appreciated that the story didn’t pretend his relationship with Gordy was perfect; the stress they were under led to some sharp moments, and that honesty made their bond feel more real. A heartfelt, emotional read with plenty of feelings throughout — and yes, you’ll cry a little. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Glow by Morgan Brice 3 of 5 stars

Glow by Morgan Brice

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dan, the Dover Demon, flees bounty hunters and intrusive podcasters to seek refuge in Fox Hollow while struggling with the spirit he inherited too soon. Park ranger Quinn steps in to protect him, and a quiet romance begins to grow. But danger follows them — from hunters, from podcasters threatening shifter secrecy, and from a newly emerged monster. Together, Dan, Wally, and Quinn must survive all of it while figuring out their fragile new connection.

I enjoyed this story about Dan, his daemon side Wally, and Quinn, the protective park ranger who steps in when Dan needs help most. Fox Hollow was the perfect setting — a welcoming town for supernatural beings that made their growing connection feel warm and believable. The dangers they faced were fun and engaging, from bounty hunters to podcasters to the larger threat lurking in the forest. I liked the adventure woven through the romance. That said, there were a few too many coincidences and complications, which made parts of the plot feel a bit manufactured, and Dan sometimes came across as a little whiny. Still, the story had plenty of emotion, charm, and heart, with moments that were easy to feel and understand. A supernatural romance with danger, warmth, and a unique bond at its centre. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Heart Unseen by Andrew Grey 4 of 5 stars

Heart Unseen by Andrew Grey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Trevor is used to charm, attention, and casual flings, but meeting James — a blind teacher who knows exactly what he wants — forces him to slow down and connect for real. Their friendship grows into something deeper as James steps outside his comfort zone and Trevor confronts the pain in his past. Together, they begin building a relationship rooted in trust, vulnerability, and genuine love.

This was a very enjoyable love story between two men with one of them blind and I loved how capable and independent James was throughout. His confidence and self‑reliance meant Trevor never pitied him or tried to control him, which made their relationship feel wonderfully balanced and respectful. It was also great that James could support Trevor with his own struggles, giving real help and grounding their connection in mutual care. That dynamic made their romance feel like a true partnership rather than one‑sided caretaking. There were many emotions and feelings woven through the story, all easy to understand and feel right along with them. This book will make you smile, and it will make you sad too — all in a way that feels heartfelt and beautifully written. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Noble Bruno by Sam E. Kraemer 5 of 5 stars

Noble Bruno by Sam E. Kraemer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bruno and Dominic never meant to be married — their fake New Year’s Eve wedding becomes real when the license is unexpectedly filed and Bruno disappears on an undercover mission. While Dom struggles with the shock of their legal marriage, Bruno uncovers a traitor tied to Dom’s world and faces a painful choice: reveal the truth and hurt the man he loves, or keep the secret and risk everything to hold onto their future.

This was by far the most emotional story in the series, with Bruno at the centre of every moment as he tried to win Dominic’s heart while also investigating the dangerous leak inside the organisation. His determination to protect Dominic — and the wider Torrente family — gave the whole book a powerful mix of love, loyalty, and tension. I loved seeing the other men settled and happy in their relationships, which made the unfolding danger around Gabby and Dexter’s children even more dramatic. The reveal of who was responsible added real suspense, keeping the mystery sharp and engaging. An emotional, dramatic, and deeply felt story, full of danger, devotion, and the fierce love Bruno carried for both Dominic and the family he fought to protect. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Love Comes Silently by Andrew Grey 5 of 5 stars

Love Comes Silently by Andrew Grey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ken is exhausted from caring for his daughter Hanna during her cancer battle, and the quiet support of his neighboUr Patrick — a former singer grieving the loss of his voice — becomes an unexpected comfort. As anonymous gifts brighten Hanna’s days, Ken and Patrick slowly form a tender bond. When Hanna is sent home with an uncertain future, Ken realizes he wants a life with both her and Patrick, even as Patrick’s silence leaves him unsure of what their future could be.

This was a charming, emotional story with Hanna at its heart, as both Ken and Patrick tried to show her that if love alone could cure cancer, she would have been healed instantly. Yes, both men were wealthy enough to step away from work, but that never detracted from the tenderness of their journey. Hanna was an absolute sweetheart, and I loved how naturally she connected with Patrick — long before Ken learned how to communicate with him just as deeply. Their growing bond felt gentle and real, and the story balanced its emotional weight with moments that genuinely make you smile. A beautifully written, heartfelt read that’s easy to feel and understand, with emotions running through every page. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Honeymoon for One by Keira Andrews 4 of 5 stars

Honeymoon for One by Keira Andrews
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ethan, reeling from betrayal the night before his wedding, takes his honeymoon alone and meets Clay, a newly divorced tour‑bus driver starting over in his forties. Ethan’s loneliness and Clay’s quiet, rugged steadiness spark an unexpected friendship that slowly deepens into something neither man saw coming. As their days together pass, a surprising romance grows — one that neither wants to end when the trip does.

This was a great story that began with a painful betrayal and ended with real bravery and acceptance as Ethan and Clay each found the man who was perfect for them. It’s a lovely friends‑to‑lovers journey and a thoughtful bi awakening for Clay, handled with warmth and care. Ethan was a wonderful hard‑of‑hearing character, and the story gave a clear, empathetic look at what it can feel like to lose your hearing in your twenties — the isolation, the adjustments, and the resilience. There were deep emotions and feelings throughout, not just for the main couple but for many of the people around them, which made the whole book feel rich and heartfelt. A tender, emotional romance with a beautifully earned happy ending. This was an MM story with mature content.
