Review: Bodean by Aja Foxx 4 of 5 stars

Bodean by Aja Foxx
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bodean returns home after an abusive relationship, finally ready to explore his long‑held feelings for Josiah — the dominant, steady mechanic he’s secretly wanted for years. Josiah has always wanted Bodean too, and when he shows up needing help, it feels like the perfect moment for them to finally come together. But their growing bond is threatened when Bodean’s dangerous ex arrives, trying to pull him back into old patterns. With support from the McKenzie clan, Bodean and Josiah stand united against the threat, fighting for safety, love, and a future built on trust.

This story is full of emotion, and the pull between Bodean and Josiah feels absolutely inevitable — like now was finally the right moment for them to stop running from what they’d always needed in each other. Their connection has a quiet intensity, built on trust, longing, and the sense that they fit together in ways neither had ever found before. I especially loved how Josiah was able to quiet the noise in Bodean’s head — the doubts, the fear, the instinct to run — and give him the steadiness he’d been craving for years. Josiah’s calm strength didn’t just anchor Bodean; it also helped the entire McKenzie clan reconnect with him, which added a lovely layer of family healing to the romance. There are a lot of emotions and complicated feelings woven throughout the story, and watching these two finally choose each other made the journey worth it. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.

Review: Omega Captive of the Wrong Dragon by Wendy Rathbone 4 of 5 stars

Omega Captive of the Wrong Dragon by Wendy Rathbone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kirion is a “set omega,” unable to shift and stripped of all rights, sold off despite once being a wolf‑pack prince. At a private auction, dragon shifter Tane intends to buy an omega for his troubled son — but instead finds himself drawn to Kirion. As their connection grows, Tane must confront his ethics and his strained family ties, while Kirion begins to hope he’s finally found where he belongs.

This story is packed with emotion, and the pull between Kirion and Tane is unmistakable from the moment their paths cross. Both men carry their own emotional torment — Kirion from a lifetime of being treated as property because he can’t shift, and Tane from the complicated guilt and grief tied to his own family. That shared pain gives their connection a depth that’s hard to ignore. While I enjoyed the romance and the intensity of their bond, the constant focus on whether true consent was possible for someone who’d been purchased did start to feel repetitive and slowed the pacing in the middle. Even so, the emotional weight of their journey kept me invested. I was surprised by how easily Tane seemed able to move on from his first son, Malin, especially considering how much of Malin’s behaviour stemmed from Tane not getting him the help he needed after losing his Papa. It added a bittersweet edge to Tane’s growth. Despite that, the story delivers a well‑earned happy ending for both men. Their feelings are vivid, the emotions run high, and their connection shines through the darker moments. This was an MM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Review: Anderson (Special Operation Sitter) #1 by Dale Mayer 4 of 5 stars

Anderson (Special Operation Sitter by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Anderson Travolta’s world is upended when his sister, Talia, is brutally attacked and left hospitalized. Taking leave from the military, he steps in to care for her triplets while trying to uncover who targeted her. His search pulls him into a dangerous conflict with a cartel, putting his whole family in jeopardy. With help from his military friends and Pamela — a determined social worker from his high‑school past — Anderson follows a trail of clues that grows more dangerous at every turn. As they work together, an unexpected romance sparks between them. Blending danger, family loyalty, and growing love, this four‑part series builds toward a tense, gripping conclusion.

This story pulled me in right from the start. The danger surrounding Anderson keeps rising as he tries to uncover what really happened to his sister, all while caring for three babies who aren’t even a year old. That constant tension — balancing mystery, fear, and the chaos of triplets — made the stakes feel incredibly real. I loved the dynamic with Pamela, his old school friend and now a dedicated social worker. She steps in to help without hesitation, and the quiet, growing connection between them builds beautifully in the background as they work together to keep the children safe. There are so many emotions woven through this story, and I felt every one of them. I’m completely invested now, and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Review: The Wrong Man by Jessica Jackman 3 of 5 stars

The Wrong Man by Jessica Jackman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Dante brutally mistook Dylan for his criminal twin and imprisoned him, unleashing the darkest parts of himself on an innocent man. When he discovers the truth, guilt consumes him. Now he’s desperate for redemption, forgiveness, and the love he never believed he deserved. Dylan, once the “wrong man,” has become the only man Dante wants — and the one who forces him to confront the possibility that he isn’t a monster after all.

This was an intense and emotional story, especially in the way Dante’s actions left Dylan deeply traumatised. Seeing Dylan slowly recover and reconnect with something familiar — his love of baking — added a much‑needed softness to the darker themes. Those moments showed the lighter, gentler side of him that Dante eventually learned to see and cherish. I appreciated the premise and the heavy emotions woven through their dynamic, but I didn’t fully love the execution. The middle section dragged a bit for me, with little variation in the plot, and the strong elements of Stockholm syndrome and obsession made their relationship harder to believe at times. Still, the contrast between Dylan’s quiet resilience and Dante’s desperate need for redemption created a compelling tension. Their connection, though unconventional, carried a raw emotional weight that kept me reading. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Bedtime Stories by Raquel Riley 3 of 5 stars

Bedtime Stories : A DD/lb MM Romance by Raquel Riley
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Oren finds comfort in late‑night online chats with Keane, a steady “Daddy” voice who gives him rules and reassurance. What begins as harmless guidance quickly turns into something deeper for both of them. Keane tries to keep boundaries, but Oren’s shy honesty makes that nearly impossible. When they unexpectedly meet at a weekend retreat, one look and one soft “Daddy” make every rule they set feel breakable. Oren wants to trust him. Keane wants to protect him. And their chemistry threatens to burn through every line they drew.

This story had such a strong, compelling connection between Oren and Keane, and I loved how that bond deepened as the stakes rose. From their first late‑night messages, there’s a tenderness and protectiveness in the way Keane speaks to Oren — a steady, grounding presence that only grows stronger once they meet in person. Keane’s organised, lawyer‑mindset becomes one of the most powerful parts of the story. It’s not just structure for the sake of rules; it’s how he shows care. When Oren later needs real support, Keane steps in with calm, capable certainty, proving exactly what a Daddy should be for someone as vulnerable and earnest as Oren. The chemistry between them is intense, but it’s the emotional safety, the trust, and the fierce protectiveness that make their dynamic shine. A passionate, heartfelt read with a beautifully drawn Daddy/boy connection. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Review: London Fog by E.M. Lindsey 4 of 5 stars

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

Wren, co‑owner of the BrewBiz Deaf Café, lives by three rules: no relationships, no commitments, no complications. But those rules fall apart the moment Percy — newly arrived from the UK — literally stumbles into his life. One night together is enough to shake Wren to his core, leaving him wanting more despite everything he swears he doesn’t do. Panicked by feelings he doesn’t understand, Wren pushes Percy away and breaks his heart. Regret hits immediately, and with the help of his found family, Wren begins to realise he doesn’t have to fit into a box or deny himself what he wants. Now he just has to apologise, hope Percy will listen, and pray it isn’t too late to make things right.

This was such an emotional, passionate story, and Wren’s journey is what truly made it shine. From the moment he and Percy collide, the connection between them is undeniable — electric, tender, and impossible for either of them to ignore. Watching Wren fight those feelings, then slowly unravel and confront the parts of himself he’s always avoided, was incredibly moving. His path toward self‑discovery is messy and painful, but it’s also hopeful. With the support of his found family, he learns he doesn’t have to fit into rigid rules or labels to deserve love. That growth is what finally allows him to reach for Percy in a way that feels honest and real. The story is full of big emotions, vulnerability, and heat, and the bond between Wren and Percy is beautifully written. Their pull toward each other, even through fear and mistakes, makes their eventual happiness feel deeply earned. This was an MM story with mature content.
