Review: Bossy Baby by Athena Steller 4 of 5 stars

Bossy Baby (Daddy's Boy, #4)









Bossy Baby by Athena Steller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hayley has been looking for a Daddy but there is only one man he is interested in - the big, bald and quiet guy who visits his store every week. He is trying to be patient but if Mac doesn't make a move soon then he will. Mac's soul is black and he knows he will head straight to Hell upon death but there is one bright light in his life - his weekly visits to Hayley's store. Watching the other couples find love and fit perfectly together gives Mac hope for the first time in his life however he has no idea what he is doing.

I love this story with the longing from them both before Hayley decided that enough was enough and he just took action. Mac definitely showed that he might have been ruthless in his working life before but he was definitely a softy when it came to Hayley and the love and care he should have for him. Hayley was full of surprises and it was great to learn far more about them both. Easy to read, feel and understand. This book contains mature MM content of a BDSM-like relationship with DDLB, diapers and stuffies. The books are better to read in order for full enjoyment although each ends with a HEA.

Camping Cuties by Athena Steller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Daddies Jace, Grant, and Byron take their boys on a 3-day camping trip and Avery, Caleb, and Mitch have lots of fun together as a group and with their own Daddy. Avery is excited but regrets looking up local wildlife and specifically the likelihood of a bear attack. Caleb thinks there is no place for him outside in the dirt with all his silk pretties and so Grant needs to show him differently. Mitch knows that Byron has some wicked plans for the weekend even if that means exploring kinks with his friends close by.

I enjoyed this short story with the different personalities of the boys clearly shown as well as the relationships with their Daddies who all worked together to pull off this long weekend of fun. It was easy to read and understand. This short story contains mature MM content of a BSDM-like relationship with DDLB, binkies, diapers, outdoor sex and roleplaying. The books are better to read in order for full enjoyment although each ends with a HEA.

Jace plans a surprise trip for his boy Avery which is going to involve his first-ever plane ride. With Buster Brown, Jared, Albert the Eagle, lily as well as his favourite binkie he needs to put on a brave face - after all he might have fun.

I enjoyed this short story about fear from Avery due to his first flight, the mystery of where they were going and the joy of him feeding animals and seeing everything in the zoo. This is definitely a book to warm your heart and make you smile. Jace was just SO organised - it was a lesson in logistics and being prepared. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Lost Boy (Daddy's Boy, #3)









Lost Boy by Athena Steller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mitch knew he was a boy when he saw a submissive over a Dom's knee being spanked. He has still not found his own Daddy he knows what he wants, but one man is going to change his outlook and maybe he wasn't right. As soon as Byron saw Mitch he knew that the older man was meant to be his boy, but fighting his insecurities is a massive job (even larger than putting up with his father). When Mitch’s world starts to crumble around him, Byron is determined to show Mitch he’s strong enough to earn the title Daddy.

I enjoyed this story with the dominant father who does nothing right, the younger Daddy who is strong enough and determined to keep his boy safe and the Little who is not as vanilla as first appears. I loved the way that Byron did whatever it took to remind Mitch that he was enough and eas important to him. Easy to read, feel and understand. This book contains mature MM content of a BSDM-like relationship with DDLB, voyeurism, public sex and light humiliation.

Pretty Baby by Athena Steller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Caleb has hidden his true self for so long that he isn't sure who he actually is now but he is not the brat that he portrays and is certainly not as confident as others think. He is just a shy boy who loves pretty things and animals. Usually, no one stays long enough to learn who Caleb really is but then how can he trust anyone to know his deepest secrets? Grant demands things from Caleb that scare him so has he met the one Daddy Dom he can open up to? The moment Grant spots the vulnerability that Caleb hides so well he is hooked as he has plenty of experience reading people as a Detective. Caleb is a mystery but the sweetest and neediest boy he has ever met. Caleb has secrets but Grant will push until all is revealed. Until Caleb is under his thumb and accepts that he is Grant’s pretty princess.

I enjoyed this story with the frustrated and confused Caleb who was crying out for affection and someone to love him for himself. Thankfully Grant is a careful, observant and thoughtful Daddy Dom who is prepared to give his boy what he needs. I loved this story with the pretty boy with his love of silky underwear and the Daddy who loved his boy in silky underwear. Easy to read, feel and understand. This book contains mature MM content of a BDSM-like relationship with DDLB, domestic discipline and a boy who loves wearing feminine lingerie.

Review: The Claws of Winter by Nazri Noor 4 of 5 stars

The Claws of Winter (Arcane Hearts #7)









The Claws of Winter by Nazri Noor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jackson Pryde can almost taste it now that the guild of artificers is so close to completion and everyone agrees that he should be the master even the powerful guild of bakers' master Mother Dough. But a strange sorcerer has reawakened Xander's interest in Incandescence, the second AI is now live again and has unearthed a new blueprint and thanks are not so calm in the Verdance. Whilst they saved the King of Summer they have to face the wrath of the Queen of Winter.

I really enjoyed this instalment of the series where Jackson and Xander had another adventure in the Verdance as they helped the King of Summer with something which infuriated the Queen of Winter and ended with an explosive conclusion. The mystery Incandescence Sorceror was worrying but in the end, it had a good ending. There was lots of danger and drama in this story where our heroes and their friends did battle. I loved the occasional tender moment between the two even though they didn't really have much time between all of the work to expand the reach of the guild of artificers. Easy to read, feel and understand. Contains some MM mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Avery is failing at being an adult and is on the verge of collapsing when he meets a man who offers him the chance of a lifetime to let go of all his worry and stress. Avery knows it sounds too good to be true and that he should run away, but Jace is everything he has fantasised about. Baby boy is used all the time by Jace and Avery just knows that he wants to call him Daddy. Jace discovering that Avery is killing himself working three jobs while going to school has Daddy Dom Jace fighting his instinct to step in and take control as he knows he has so much to offer Avery - but is Avery brave enough to accept what he is offering?

I enjoyed this story with the hesitant and fiercely independent Avery and the determined and caring Daddy who was doing his best to go softly in order to make sure his boy was never upset. The crisis point when Avery reached his rock bottom was well written and sensitively done - I just wanted to hug them and tell them everything was going to be ok. Easy to read, feel and understand.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Destin grew up in a unique environment that didn't prepare him for college or even the real world. Thankfully his energy, curiosity and determination mean that he meets everything full-on and is determined to succeed. He is also exploring the world of BDSM which he finds fascinating. Currently, he is flirting with two different men and they are both sweet guys which he assumes he will have to choose between soon but when he realises that he could not have to choose between the sexy cop and mechanic with the wicked smile that he realises he still has a lot to learn. Avery and Ray have been flirting with mysterious and mischievous Destin for weeks but it isn't until he starts to open up that they realise that there is more to him than meets the eye. But when getting to know Destin means dating each other as well, they start to realize how much is riding on their new relationship…everything.

I enjoyed this story with the confused Destin who just wants to enjoy everything and simply cannot choose between the guys. I loved his thirst for life and love which was a real tonic against the bad in the world. This was easy to read, feel and understand which definitely made me smile and feel all gooey inside. I loved Destin's full name. This is an MMm book containing mature content of a BSDM nature including D/s, DDLB, puppy play and spankings.

The shy librarian Jules knows he can't keep sending mixed signals to Frank the tattooed guy who keeps hanging around the library but he has no idea how to take things to the next level. Surely a man who loves romance novels and teases the little old ladies at the library has to be perfect as a Daddy? Frank has a thing for smart guys but most run from him thanks to his tattoos. He can see that the librarian is nervous but what is he hiding?

I loved this sweet story with shy Jules who really needed help from his family Derek and Sean from the previous book in the series to help prepare Frank for Jules' secrets. I loved Frank and how he asked careful intelligent questions, did some research and then was great at communicating that he was prepared to give it a try (but actually was a completely natural Daddy). The interference from Derek and Sean was funny and the trust and emotions between Jules and Frank were just beautiful. Definitely a story to make the heart sing and make you smile. Easy to read, feel and understand. This contains mature MM content with a BSDM-like DDLB relationship including spanking, binkies, diapers and bottles.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Derek has known his friend's father Sean for years and has always flirted and teased him knowing that nothing ever gets a reaction out of him, but one day he gets some unexpected curiosity from the man he always thought of as straight. Maybe an adventurous switch like Derek is the best man to help Sean explore his wild side? Sean knows better than to take Derek's teasing seriously after all there is a reason he has always called him "pest" but maybe Sean should finally discover what he was all along.

I enjoyed this story with the bold Derek who seems to have no boundaries and no limit to sharing but is a kindly man who looks after his friend Jules as a stand-in to care for him. I loved the way that their relationship developed and that we experienced Sean's delight as he discovered a world was out there and he was capable of and deserving of happiness and love after such a long time as a widower. Easy to read, feel and understand. This story contains mature MM content containing BSDM-like elements including D/s, playful use of the word Daddy, speaking, a switch and an age gap which is not age play).

A great value anthology where ten dark MM authors explore the darker half of the holidays while also spreading cheer and support to LGBTQ youth.

Slay Ride - Davidson King

This is a story of how Mason meets 5 guys one night when they come to his aid and how he then gets involved in their story. This ended abruptly and so I assume there will be more by the same author at some point.

Defying Sanity - Elouise East

This was dark. Was there consent? It appears that there was (kind of). Vin was just crazy (maybe that should have been capitalised). Kyler, I started off having great empathy for him but then realised that he really was crazy too. Wishes come true.

Sky has a job interview on her 22nd birthday but a pigeon messes on her on the way there so she is in the restroom cleaning up when her life changes completely. As soon as she touches the enormous Sorceror of Bairn called Merrick she is shocked to discover he feels familiar and good. Merrick’s waiting arms and tender care for his sweet droblin is pure pleasure for them both, and no one takes the responsibility of protection more seriously than him.

I enjoyed this story which was a good light read. This was a sweet novella which involved the other members of the sorcerers and their droblins. Easy to read and understand. The book contains mature BSDM-like content of a DDLG nature. They are stand-alone but it is better to read them in order.

Shattered Vow (Shadowblood Souls, #1)









Shattered Vow by Eva Chase
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Riva and 5 guys make up the Shadowblood - a group of generically modified humans who were developed and grew up in a facility operated by a mystery organisation. Over time they develop unique abilities and so they decide to try and escape with disastrous results - 1 died, 3 are recaptured and Riva is sold into the fighting rings (but the guys are told she set them up). Riva fights her way back to rescue them to only be faced with hostility and distrust. She now has a new skill which has terrified her as she cannot control it. If the guys break her she worries that she will break everyone.

The intrigue of their creation and the escape attempt was interesting, but I did find the animosity faced by Riva a little much and quite tedious - I couldn't understand why she took it and didn't just leave them to have her own life. It was nice to see towards the end that finally she was believed but I sure hope she makes them work really hard for forgiveness given the way she was treated. Easy to read and as long as you don't get sick of the distrust it was enjoyable. I'm hoping that it is more enjoyable in the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Eric is more confident now and with his Daddy Marcus's love and support he is getting strong than ever but he wants more as he wants to be more submissive and be more of his Daddy's boy. Marcus thinks that there is nothing more beautiful than watching his boy's confidence grow but he doesn't want to push him too fast, especially as having Eric by his side is the only clear thing about his future he needs to find a way to provide for his boy after his retirement from the force. When it comes to their relationship, Eric is ready to jump in headfirst. But how does Eric show his daddy that everything doesn’t have to be planned out to be perfect?

I enjoyed this story with Eric becoming more confident and less bashful as well as more secure in the love between himself and Marcus. I loved the growing relationship between him and his friend Lucas who was a pup. The relationship between Eric and Lucas seemed solid and so I was a little disappointed that some kind of marriage (even if just a proposal) happened between them. It was easy to read, feel and understand. This book contains mature content of a MM BDSM-like DDLB relationship with some use of binkies, spanking and diapers.

Eric knows that he needs a Daddy but has just about given up on looking for one. He has a disastrous first date at a BDSM club Bound and Controlled when Marcus walks up to him to make sure he is ok - he is a sexy older man but does he want to be a Daddy or just want a submissive? Marcus knows what he wants and has spent months getting everything ready for his boy and when he sees Eric he was immediately drawn to him - the question is will he want a Daddy? As they discover their mutual desires, Marcus is sure that Eric has the strength to go after what he yearns for; he just needs his daddy’s love and help to see it.

I really enjoyed this story as Marcus gently undid all the hurt and psychological damage caused to Eric by those from his past so that they would have a great future together. Eric was skittish and cautious but so very brave to trust his Daddy to do everything at the right pace for him. I loved their relationship and have great hopes for them going forward.

In the Kingdom Mountain theme park a young kitchen worker called Lyle dreams of being a boy to a Daddy who loves him but the evil CEO has other plans for him. He finds himself stumbling through the snowy night in a panic and falls unconscious as he runs out of energy to run. Gruff is built like a bear and has the heart of a Daddy but is the youngest and smallest of seven gay brothers who live together in the Kingdom Moutiain forest so the chances of him finding a boy or next to nothing, until one night he finds a boy close to death in the forest. Have they found each other in time?

This is a nice story as the start of a new series that gives a good high-level background as to how Lyle got to the theme park kitchens and how he was rescued. The amount of abuse and depravity was very saddening but there were a few gaps. I did find it strange that the sheriff was corrupt and yet it was so easy to get him arrested and help people without any mention of an outside organisation or office that could take control. Easy to read and understand. Contains mature MM content with a BDSM-like DDLB relationship.

Mafia hitman Jagger discovered with his work partner Grant that their bosses ran a human trafficking operation out of the basement of one of their warehouses. As a former Wilderness Explorer leader, he has never forgotten his nephew's best friend who had gone missing but could never be found. Then he runs into him at a club - 20-year-old Sparrow still carries his sparrow stuffy around but instead of his badges he had from the wilderness explorer troop he carries knives. Jagger knows he should resist Sparrow but he needs to decide if he leaves things as they were or if he becomes his Daddy.

This story followed the second of the three boys who were determined to go through the black book to kill some of the men who were happy to use and abuse the boys who were trapped in the warehouse. I loved Sparrow who was so determined and ruthless and yet at the same time was definitely a Little who needed a Daddy to love and care for him. I loved the way that he knew what and who he wanted and had spent his captivity using that dream as a coping mechanism. They were such a sweet couple and I completely understood why the drama at the end of the story had the completion it did. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Cody has a boyfriend and a Daddy who get along and both love him to distraction (even if they haven't used that word yet) but all he wants is for them to love each other too. Jameson knows loving Cody means he has to accept Ford in his life too but he was not expecting the growing feeling that he has for Ford himself. He questions if that is a bad thing and what it will develop into. Ford never thought he would ever find someone to love and take care of, but now he has two men who both touch his heart in different ways. Seeing them both he can see a family that he has longed for. However, two men dating the same person is different to falling in love with each other - can Jameson handle that?

I enjoyed reading the conclusion to this story and the way that the three men found to be together, accept their differences and love each other. Ford was just such a tower of strength for both of them and I found myself feeling quite jealous hoping that we could all have our own Ford. I loved the way he enabled physical intimacy between Cody and Jameson and that it was natural and not creepy. I was thrilled with the way it ended although I would have loved to know what happens next to them all.

Cody has been waiting for his former professor to take a leap and ask him out, but he looks younger than he is and he has known him since he was 14. So he decides that Jameson needs a push and so he decides to follow his curiosity and gets introduced to a Daddy at BDSM Club Bound and Controlled. Ford is wary when they are introduced as most guys are not interested when they realise that he is asexual even though he is a Daddy Dom, but Cody thinks that is the perfect solution as he is focused on Jameson for that element of his life (even if he has to wait for it). Cody has found his Mr Rights. He’s just not sure what it will take to get his nervous professor and his loving Daddy to see that all they really need is each other.

I really enjoyed this story with the precocious genius who needed a Daddy to love and care for him as well as his professor to love him. I loved the way that Ford was so open-minded and that all of the honesty and limits ensured that there were no misunderstandings. The complexities of the three-way relationship and the sensitivity of handling it were well handled by Ford and that definitely made him more than qualified to be a Daddy or Dom to both of them at times.

Reid realises that he cannot dodge Nolan's hints about BDSM but he has no idea what to do about it he just knows he would do anything to make him happy and keep him safe even if he has to find Nolan a Daddy or Tentacle Daddy. When love and acceptance become a rock and a hard place, sometimes it takes a new perspective and a few tentacles to find the way forward.

This was such a sweet story where Edward came in and started off being a Daddy (or Tentacle Daddy) for Nolan but it morphed into caring for Reid too. I loved that Edward was so careful to make sure that Reid was involved and that it educated him that Nolan needed him even though he had a Daddy. It was quite touching in the end that there was love between the three of them. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Trip wants the man of his dreams and if he comes with tentacles and a great sense of humour that is good too. When he meets Mr Right at the grocery store he expects someone with some control but he did not expect his sexy alien to move in. As one date turns into something more than either of the men had planned, it might take a few old friends to step in and open their eyes to what’s been in front of them the whole time…love.

I enjoyed this book where Trip was so jealous of what Cameron had as well as very happy for him that he was desperate to have his own person to love. I loved Maverick who had just the right mentality and sense of humour to match Trip. It was easy to read and understand. I did find the ending a little abrupt but it did seem to be well connected to the story and discussions that they had had together.

Archer & Declan (Beautiful Shame #4)









Archer & Declan by M.A. Innes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Archer looks innocent and very vanilla which has meant that Archer has kept his personal life private from his well-meaning coworkers. However, it has made it virtually impossible to find a partner because under his sweet exterior he actually has some very curious needs and he has no idea how to find his Mr Right. Declan has a dramatic breakup and ends up facing the prospect of sleeping in his car so he vows never to change himself for anyone ever again. Moving in with his blushing roommate tests his resolve when all he wants to do is explain in explicit detail what he wants to do to the bashful man with wandering eyes. When a teasing flirt with a wicked grin meets a shy insurance salesman, sparks shouldn’t fly, but these two might just be a match made in heaven…just a very wicked one.

I really enjoyed this story where Archer got a new roommate who was actually exactly the man he wanted and needed. I liked the way that Declan did his best to make sure that consent was always at the forefront and that Archer knew that he could always use a safeword at any time with no consequences. I liked that their relationship changed at some point when they started dating as well. There is a tie into the Leashes & Lace series This was easy to read, feel and understand.

College student Christopher looks very innocent and has no experience with guys or humiliation but he has very dirty fantasies about fellow dorm room roommate Ethan, but he would never tell him anything about them let alone go for him. Ethan has done his best to be careful around his painfully shy college roommate and although he thinks he is cute and awkward, he doesn't want to make him feel uncomfortable. Then a college assignment outs Christopher's dirty desires and Ethan has to decide if he is willing to take a chance and give Christopher the humiliation he desperately longs for. Christopher might think his fantasies should stay hidden in the darkness, but Ethan knows it will just take the right person to show him how beautiful and freeing they can be.

I enjoyed this story of the clever way that the anonymous assignment was so obvious for the subject of the author's thoughts and dreams and the way that Ethan handled it. I loved this couple who were able to keep dating separately from their BSDM-like relationship at home. I also enjoyed the way that they had such a high level of trust that love really was a logical conclusion. Easy to read, feel and understand.

So there is some urgency so that he can keep Beast alive while he tracks the other dog (nicknamed Beauty) who had been taken to a huge training facility in Mississippi before going missing. Saffron is relieved that someone is tracking down Beauty even though Harper is a distraction as he gives her regular updates. As Harper gets closer to Beauty’s location, it becomes obvious that someone wants to make sure the War Dog doesn’t reach her destination. But why? And how far will this person go to take down the dog?

I enjoyed this story with the damaged hero Harper who just wanted to help the two dogs and vet Saffron who could see past his injuries to the man within. I loved the drama of tracking down Beauty and any connected danger to that. Well written and easy to understand and feel - especially the ordeal of the two dogs who had been separated.

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

Review: My Cameron by M.A. Innes 4 of 5 stars

My Cameron (The New Neighbors, #1)









My Cameron by M.A. Innes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cameron has always had a rule not to date anyone in the same apartment block as him, but the sexy alien who moved in next door to him called George is confident and persistent. Will George understand what Cameron is really looking for in a partner…a Dom who can push him right to the edge?

I really enjoyed this story which was a romantic and sexy take on aliens living on Earth and what an alien could do with tentacles to enhance their partner's sexual satisfaction. I loved the way that it was clear that they were meant to be together they just needed to work out the how and the details between themselves. It was easy to read and clear to feel and understand. This is an MM story containing mature content with BSDM-like elements mostly including spanking and edging in a D/s relationship.

Randall & Hudson (Beautiful Shame, #2)









Randall & Hudson by M.A. Innes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Randall likes being watched and traditionally wicked things turn him on and so nice guys are always going to avoid him. He might look vanilla but what he wants is embarrassing and dirty. Hudson is just focused on growing his family business and keeping everything under control. Fate has a different plan and finds him an innocent, submissive and naughty little thing. Randall and Hudson are opposite ends of the same coin and perfect for each other he just needs to convince Randall that what he wants isn't dirty or shameful.

I enjoyed this story with the two men who were both strong in their own ways and had the making of a strong and unusual relationship. I enjoyed their clear communication and their emphasis on consent. Easy to read and understand. This MM story contains mature content which includes spanking, exhibitionism, consensual humiliation and BDSM-like D/s behaviours.

Owners & Dolls









Owners & Dolls by M.A. Innes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emerson has the best job in the world working as a lingerie model at Leashes and Lace which has also given him wonderful friends - he just needs to find the Dom of his dreams to make his life complete. Then he was sent to corset designer Luca for a photoshoot. Luca has spent a lifetime building his business, funnelling his passion into his work and fighting against his own fantasies which makes him the loneliest Dom in the world until Emerson swept into his life and went right past all of his defences. Sparks and corsets fly when a wickedly sweet doll meets the Owner of his dreams, but even with his stubbornly sexy Owner dragging his feet every step of the way, Emerson knows fairy-tale romances like this always have a happily ever after.

I loved this story which fit perfectly into the world of the Leashes & Lace book series. Emerson was such a fun guy who was even more special when he was Emmy. Luca was a great designer who seemed to be smitten from as soon as he saw Emerson. Easy to read, feel and understand. Contains MM mature content in a BDSM D/s relationship.

My Straight Mafia Daddy (Italian Protectors #2)










My Straight Mafia Daddy by Aster Rae
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Homeless Rusty volunteers at the homeless shelter to try and get a spare bed else he has to sleep under a bridge. Italian mob doctor Dr Gianluca Ferrari is a cardiologist and he volunteers at the same shelter as Rusty. Rusty was colouring in a walk-in freezer and probably forgot to eat lunch too and so when Gianluca finds him to talk Rusty keels over into his arms. Gianluca takes him to his Manhattan penthouse to stay in his spare room to monitor him. Rusty has crushed on him for years but he always thought he was straight but now he is not so sure. Can this man be Rusty's new Daddy?

I liked this story with the determined doctor who just could not keep himself under control around Rusty, and the determined Little who knew who and what he wanted, he just needed to find a way to get himself there. I did find it a little weird how easily Gianluca adapted to being in a committed MM relationship and how much he liked the taste of Rusty when he was pleasuring him. Easy to read and understand. This is an MM BDSM-like DDLB relationship story.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Arlo is a Little and has a chronic medical condition which means finding a Daddy is much harder. He visits the Little Bunny Club and trips over a toy racecar only to wake up in Constantine Ferrari's arms. Constantine owns the club with his two brothers and they all look as if they are in the mob together. Constantine patches up Arlo's boo-boo and takes him to his penthouse to care for him and give him a proposition - become his fake Little on a trial basis and judge how things go after a month.

I enjoyed this story with the brave Arlo, and the kind and compassionate Constantine and the way that they fell in love with each other as they got to know each other much better. I loved the way that it was critical that Constantine's family loved Arlo and accepted him. As for Nana - just wow! Easy to read, feel and understand.

The Magic of Twelve: Primrose









The Magic of Twelve: Primrose by Pepper North
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

After a disappointing birthday taking a relaxing bath was the only pleasure she had to look forward to. When she is transported into the arms of tall, blonde, and totally ripped Sorceror Andri, she is surprised and more than a little shocked. She might want to resist him but her heart knows it is right and does not. Andri has waited for his droblin for millennia, but when the expected threat against her arrives he will need help to save her.

This was a sweet novella which involved the other members of the sorcerers and their droblins. Easy to read and understand. The book contains mature BSDM-like content of a DDLG nature. They are stand-alone but it is better to read them in order.

Sociopath's Boy by Aster Rae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lead assassin Ajax has one mission - to go to Sweden and keep Prince Lachlan safe from the Italian Afia who have him in their sights as he published one of his romance books which actually contained some of their secrets. What Ajax finds is a stunning princess with a gorgeous pink cape and a magic wand which he uses to cast spells - his first one is a Daddycadabra on Ajax. He might be a vicious hitman, but when Lachlan confesses that he needs more than just a protector Ajax steps up as he feels that he has to make him his.

I loved this story with the clear-headed and controlled assassin Ajax who lost his mind when he saw Lachlan dressed as a princess and the way that he fit right in with his Daddy who was not into punishment but purely into care and nurturing. If I stood a chance, I would have fought Lachlan for Ajax! I loved the way that their relationship developed, that we found out much more about bother of them and that their relationship was so solid. The ending was suitably dramatic. I did find their areas around the King of Sweden to be a missing section of the story and would have loved to know what happened. I did love their care of Lachlan's sister who deserved all the love and care that they showered them with. Easy to read, feel and understand. This contains mature content in an MM story with a BDSM-like DDLB relationship and there is also lots of aftercare and a HEA.

Finneas has been in love with Riggs since he was 18 when he took his virginity and so when he receives a text two years later saying that vicious mobsters are chasing him and that Riggs needs to see him again he is definitely game but the passage of time only makes him more flustered around him. When Riggs slides Finneas onto his lap and tells him to call him Daddy... he doesn't know how much longer he can keep his hands - or his heart - to himself.

I really enjoyed this story with the levels of deceit, the identity of the mobsters, the way that Riggs and Finneas had so much history and so many regrets and how they moved on from that. I loved their relationship and the way that it built up over time with the more they shared about themselves. The way that the Littles interacted was just precious - how can anyone not fall in love with any of them? I was thrilled with the way it ended and that they had the kind of HEA that they both deserved. Easy to read, feel and understand. This contains mature content in an MM story with a BDSM-like DDLB relationship. Within it, there is a relationship involving stuffies and animal play.

Assassin's Boy by Aster Rae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Assassin Vladimir X is a contract killer who works for billionaire philanthropists and foreign governments use his services to take out bad actors. When he hears that his brother-in-law's younger brother Jordan has been kidnapped by vicious people traffickers who intend to sell him. Jordan is 19 years old and has a bad attitude due to the trauma he has faced in his past. He looks just like Vladimir's ex-boyfriend who vanished 10 years ago and he decides to keep his distance from him but as soon as he resues him he wants him as his own. Then when Jordan confesses that he wants him to be his protector then it is time to make this angel his.

I loved this story with the angry Jordan who could not stop being a brat, the determined Vladimir who was doing everything he can to break the behaviour, and the sick and depraved ways he used to control him (which he actually loved). It was interesting to see the way that they both tried to avoid falling in love with each other but in the end, it was impossible to ignore. Easy to read, feel and understand. This contains mature content in an MM story with a BDSM-like DDLB relationship. Within it, there is a kidnap, spanking, ropes and a flogger. There is also a need for aftercare and a HEA.

Based on the books on her tablet, Pearl knows that magic exists and also that age play between a girl and her Daddy can exist.

Drake has waited for his droblin for millennia, but when the expected threat against her arrives he will need the help of the others to save her.

This was a sweet novella which involved the other members of the sorcerers who were bound to have their mate soon as they all helped to battle the evil trying to destroy them.

Caveman Daddy by Aster Rae
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Santiago travels to Russia to try and find his missing father or the missing blue butterflies. The last time he was there he was ten and he was abandoned in a hotel. Then a caveman abducts him in the middle of the night. Maxim is a Mafia Don who hunts his family's enemies from the cave. He has not been near a younger man for the last ten years and so he offers Santiago a deal he can't turn down - spend three months as his live-in cave husband and then he can go free. But when Maxim puts his mammoth palms on Santiago's tight virgin body and orders him to call him Caveman Daddy... There's not a damn thing that will make Santiago leave.

I really enjoyed this story which was the last one in the series. It pulled together a lot of elements of the story, gave Maxim and Santigo a HEA, and finally defeated the family enemy. The family connection was a bit of a surprise. Easy to read and understand. This could cause a trigger based on the kidnap/abduction. This mature MM book contained a lot of BDSM-like DDLB relationship content.

After the mess last time Sasha is not prepared to be in a relationship again. As Sasha is backed into a corner he cracks and there is no holding back.

I enjoyed this story with the frustration of Preston as he struggled to be treated as an adult and Sasha as he mistakenly tried to be honourable and stay clear of a minor as well as a relationship. Their friendship and romance were a little unconventional but I loved the way that they used the list of kinks to work out limits and that Sasha was so proud of Preston when he expressed his first hard limit.

A great value second volume of stories which were all easy to read, feel and understand. All contain mature content and contain elements of BDSM-like behaviour - in the case of these two I mentioned they are DDLG relationships.

Bad Cupcakes by Pepper North and Paige Michaels

This was really fun as all six little girls got into trouble after they had a bad day and each of their Daddies had to take some form of corrective action. It looks like they had great fun just before they got into trouble but the cleanup the next day looked fun too. I also agree that it is totally unfair to make bad cupcakes feel unloved and unwanted.

Daddy's Little Convict by Maren Smith

Such a special little who desperately needed a Daddy to love and care for her. Tabby was the convict and Sheriff Jeff Barnes protected her, believed in her and became her Daddy. The story ended a bit abruptly but the implication was that there would be a HEA between them.

Roman has been in Rikers Island for defending his family's honour but everything changes for him when he is sent to a Christmas tree farm for supervised work release. Bentley is a twenty-year-old student and is a beautiful curvy man but he is not excited at the prospect of spending his Christmas with an ex-felon and so sasses Roman almost nonstop. Then Roman realises that Bentley is only sassing him because he secretly needs a protector and so he sets out to make him his.

I enjoyed this story of the coincidence between the situation for Roman and the one for Bentley's brother Joshua. I loved Bentley's grandparents and their attitude to life - something we can all learn from. There was some danger, drama and plenty of clear communication, romance and caution around consent. This is a MM story containing mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB relationship.

Alpha Geek: Tripp by Milly Taiden
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tripp Webster is into climbing and is about to do the big one - his next trip is to get to the top of Mount Everest. Snow Leopard shifter Amelia Fields works in the office of Nick Milan’s protection agency and so when a client requests someone with mountain climbing experience she is the one for the job but she did not expect the client to be her fated mate. Tripp needs protection because a family drama has created some dangers in his life. His father left him with a fortune as well as a secret son to deal with. Too bad his mysterious brother wasn’t willing to share. Assuming that Tripp has not survived the "accident" which happened on the way up they did not account for the special shifter serum that the snow leopard is carrying so that now he can show them who the real alpha is.

I enjoyed this story with the efficient and organised Amelia and the professional and practised Tripp who had been on countless climbs before. I loved their instant connection and that they were able to still concentrate on ensuring that they had the right equipment. I liked the way that she protected him as much as she could on the climb up before the attack when she did what she needed to do in order to keep him alive. Easy to read, feel and understand. Contains some mature content.

Grit wants to help her and invited her to stay at the club but then things start being strange at the club at it is almost too late before they work it all out.

I enjoyed this story with the old love almost totally destroying the new love. There were a lot of emotions involved in this story and there was also plenty of drama - especially in the endgame when Grit had to make a critical decision. I loved that I could feel and empathise with everything in the story and that I was so swept away that I kept reading past when I should be sleeping. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Review: Choosing Theo by Victoria Aveline 4 of 5 stars

Choosing Theo (Clecanian #1)









Choosing Theo by Victoria Aveline
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jade was kidnapped from Earth by some lizard-like aliens but thankfully some human-looking aliens race called Clecanians rescued her and are willing to protect her. One of their conditions for her to stay on their planet is that she has to choose a husband which she initially refuses and then agrees to play along only until she can find a way to get home. Theo is a mercenary who is scarred and considered ugly and so has learnt to prefer his solitary life, so he is stunned when Jade picks him as her husband. The only reason he can think of is that she is a spy and he is determined to break her cover in any way that he can. As they spend more time together and their chemistry is impossible to deny or ignore, falling in love together can't happen as she is determined to go home unless she decides that she can stay.

I enjoyed this story which had a good level of detail about the world she ended up in, the races found there, the customs, medical care and the relationship between Jad and Theo. Their battles and attempts to test or annoy each other were quite comical at times. I loved the way that their relationship developed as they learnt more about their lives, and each other and started treating each other with respect. I loved the ending and it was great to move on from tragedy to a great HEA. Easy to read and understand. Contains some mature content.

Psychopath Daddy by Aster Rae
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Alexsei claimed Macon from the moment he saw him in the ice cream shop serving him the espresso ice cream with chocolate hearts inside it. He was definitely going for ultra-bratty and Macon stayed that way for much of the book. Alexsei stayed ultra calm and tolerant and very helpful as he made sure that Macon always had his unicorn stuffy with him when he slept. As Alexsei hunted down their family's rivals he also put some ghosts of both his own and Macon's pasts to rest too.

I enjoyed this book and the way that Alexsei was so caring and tolerant of his boy even to the point of letting him top from the bottom in order to put something from his past to rest. Macon's ex was a nasty piece of work and he had an amazingly close shave with him, and again it was very sensitive of Alexsei to allow him to do the final attack. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Lucas is travelling to New York City from his home in Montana to attend a special Drag Queen workshop as well as stay with his friend. When Demetri sees Lucas with his lion stuffy in hand he knows that he just has to possess him. I found some parts of this endearing because Demetri was devoted to Lucas, some bits completely OTT - Lucas's determination to not pick up a Daddy immediately in New York and some parts just plain creepy for example with Demetri behaving like a stalker and the way that Lucas was such an ungrateful brat. I do like the concentration on consent and asking permission before assuming or taking advantage (which is sadly lacking in many books like this.

I did enjoy this story and I did find it a fun read if you got past some of the cheesy lines and similar concepts to other books in this series. It was easy to read and understand. This is an MM book containing mature content containing a BDSM-like DDLB relationship.

A reasonable collection of stories which provide good value compared to purchasing them separately. My review is based on these books:

Treasured Discipline - Delta James writing as Willa Bradley
I have never read one of Willa Bradley's stories, but I love Delta James. This was a historical/contemporary crossover with pirates, treasure hunters and a couple of disciplining Doms. I enjoyed it but It didn't sweep me away.

A Cowboy to Call Her Own - Laylah Roberts
I enjoyed this story with the introduction of a woman who was running away from an abusive ex to "domestic discipline" aka BSDM-like DDLG. I enjoyed the story and it was wonderful to see the way that he worshipped her even if she had to have her behaviour corrected sometimes.

So Timofey invites him onto his luxury yacht to sail there instead of taking a scheduled flight adding a new goal to this trip there - to become Karter's forever Daddy.

This was an enjoyable read but I didn't like it as much as the previous two books in the series. I did find the involvement of his boy partly endearing because he was given a choice to take part and party abuse as it was corrupting him in the same way as his Daddy. I do however like the emphasis across the entire series on informed consent. Easy to read and understand. This contains mature MM content in a BDSM-like DDLB relationship.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Belle was a so-called monster lover and had signed up with the Prime Mating Agency to be paired with an exotic alien. The one she is matched with has four eyes, four arms and a rumbling voice that curls her toes. Zamorian Bayron was not looking for a mate but the PMA agent convinced him to marry a human who was the perfect match for him. But as events of his past clash with their future, will they be able to overcome their cultural differences, or will adversity tear them apart?

I enjoyed some of this story but I did find the conversation that was examining their cultural differences very strange as essentially she was insulting an entire culture and so I was very surprised that there were no major implications for that - after all shouldn't a monster lover who was willing to marry an alien have more tolerance and understanding of differences between races? Easy to read this book contains mature content.
