Review: Wade by Shaw Montgomery 5 of 5 stars

Wade (Romance & Revolutions, #6)










Wade by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Omega Wade had survived the death of his alpha Matthew but it was hard and he only managed it with the support of his friends now that time has passed he finds himself with an empty house and a need to submit. Now he is starting to believe it is time to move on. Alpha Griffin was friends with Matthew and Wade and when Matthew died he stepped away from the only man he had ever loved but when he saw Wade submitting to another man in the new BDSM club he realised that he might have missed his chance at love. When the pull to submit meets the push to dominate, sparks fly, but it’s love and tenderness that will finally give them the confidence to move forward together.

I loved this last story in the series. It was wonderful to see that Dakota and Tristan tried to include Wade in something that they knew he really needed and to see him being brave enough to do it in front of others in the new club was special. I was thrilled to see him find his friend again and that their relationship didn't exclude or ignore Matthew but made sure that they were both able to move on and work past that. So many emotions and feelings for them to work through and past and it was all done in a sensitive manner. I don't think I have ever laughed so much as the monthly drinking get-together for the omega friends and the way that their alphas were indulgent but made sure that they were all safe. The picture in the boathouse on the wall sounded spectacular. Easy to read feel and understand. This story contains MM mature content including BSDM-like behaviours including a D/s dynamic, flogging, edging and non-shifter alpha/omega dynamics.

Review: Dakota by Shaw Montgomery 4 of 5 stars

Dakota (Romance & Revolutions #5)










Dakota by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Omega Dakota is creative, passionate and too focused on his work as an author so needs a keeper to make sure he does things like eat, sleep and even shower. Dom Tristan has had a thing for Dakota since before he met him in real life and after a chance meeting he can feel the connection between them. So when he hears that Dakota needs an assistant he applies as it is a role he was born to play. When a distracted, artistic sub meets a Dom with a thing for organization and role-playing, a beautiful masterpiece of a relationship can’t be far behind.

I enjoyed this story with the care that Tristan took over caring for the disorganised and ill-disciplined Dakota and the care he also took of Wade who was still struggling with the loss of his husband which was both heartbreaking and inspiring. I loved the way that Tristan knew Dakota's book plots so well and that he was able to stop into the role of the dom in the stories. It was easy to read, feel and understand. This story contains MM mature content with a BSDM-like D/s dynamic featuring spanking and non-shifter alpha/omega dynamics.

Review: Bradley by Shaw Montgomery 4 of 5 stars

Bradley (Romance & Revolutions #4)










Bradley by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Omega Bradley is grumpy and sarcastic and not the image of what an alpha would picture as a submissive. Dom Simon has met a lot of doms and alphas through his brother and nothing in life has prepared him for gruff Bradley. When two men realize they have more in common than meets the eye, it doesn’t take long to realize that there is no one right way to fall in love.

I enjoyed this story with Bradley who just wants to be loved and Simon who is fascinated with Bradley and what makes him tick. It was great to see Bradley take some time to destress and be able to be a bit more human. Simon was a joy and the way he took charge in the pool was just strong and masterful. Easy to read, feel and understand. This story contains MM mature content with a BSDM-like D/s relationship and non-shifter alpha/omega dynamics.

Review: Jonah by Shaw Montgomery 4 of 5 stars

Jonah (Romance & Revolutions #3)









Jonah by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Omega Jonah is so busy looking after his found family that he doesn't have time to do his art let alone sleep properly. But he is waiting for the alpha of his dreams who he hopes will take care of him as contrary to the equal rights for omegas movement he just wants to surrender completely. Russ and Graham are alphas and they are waiting for their omega but as soon as Graham comes home talking about the sweet omega he is working with he knows that the future they were dreaming of is within their reach. Sometimes love really is worth waiting for—especially when it comes in an unconventional package.

I enjoyed this story with the unusual relationship between Russ and Graham that they had to keep secret as well as the way they had to introduce it to their relative Shane before Jonah so that it was kept quiet but not shocking. I loved the way that Jonah accepted their relationship and was easily integrated into the whole dynamic. The acceptance of Jonah's found family was perfect and he finally seems to be getting the time to rest, not work so hard and have the time to paint. Easy to read, feel and understand. This story contains MMM mature content of a BDSM-like D/D/s non-shifter alpha/omega dynamics, edging, and spanking.

Review: Austin by Shaw Montgomery 4 of 5 stars

Austin (Romance & Revolutions #2)










Austin by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Omega Austin is wealthy and can be quite wild as he lives by a motto of leaping before you look. He is waiting to find himself an alpha Dom and when he thinks he has met his Mr Right (who is also tall, sexy and very dominant) so he is not planning on questioning fate. Alpha Silas has a motto - look twice at every situation but he is ready to make an exception for a firecracker omega called Austin who is outrageous, has no filter and is devoted to his friends. But when perfection comes with millions of dollars and paparazzi, maybe they could both use some caution, but it’s worth the effort if it brings you everything you always dreamed of.

I loved this story with the totally unfiltered and outrageous Austin who was a strange mixture of a caring and devoted friend, a good businessman and a submissive omega who needed an alpha dom. He was so real and some of his exploits just made me want to shake my head. Silas was a businessman with a novelty toy store who seems very accepting and tolerant of Austin and his antics although he does his best to protect him. It was easy to read, feel and understand this story which was a romance underneath all the other things. This story contains mature MM content of a BDSM-like D/s relationship of a non-shifter alpha/omega dynamic including edging, and spanking.

Review: Tanner by Shaw Montgomery 4 of 5 stars

Tanner (Romance & Revolutions, #1)









Tanner by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Omega Tanner is smart, wealthy and head over heels for his administrative assistant but he won't do anything about it as it feels like too big of a gamble. As an omega he is supposed to be family-oriented, a go-getter at work and equal in every way, not submissive as he would like to be. Alpha Shane is built like a tank, organised and passionate about making his boss's life easier. He is in love with Tanner but very careful to keep it tucked away because Tanner has never looked at Shane until secrets start coming to the surface. When everything is riding on one confession, is the risk just too much?

I loved this story with the two passionate men who were supposed to act a certain way according to modern conventions even though they wanted to be different. I loved that Shane learned everything he could in order to be and give Tanner what he needed and to become the perfect alpha for a submissive Tanner. I was relieved when The unsubtle hints from the other omegas and accidental notes in a pile of papers caused them to confess to each other. Easy to read, feel and understand it was impossible not to become involved and invested in their relationship so you felt the relief when they finally became a couple. Contains mature MM content with a BSDM-like D/s relationship with a non-shifter alpha/omega dynamic, edging, and spanking.

Review: Becoming the Owners by Shaw Montgomery 4 of 5 stars

Becoming the Owners (Bound & Controlled)










Becoming the Owners by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As soon as Ben saw him he knew that he was his forever but he needed to get him down from the cage he was dancing in and so he needed to get creative. As soon as Conner saw him he knew he was insane but that he might have a thing for crazy men with big dreams. He sees the passion in Ben's eyes and the tempting promises and that sees more than a naughty bird dancing high above the crowd.

I loved this novella which gave us an insight into how Ben and Connor met, their relationship and how Bound & Controlled came into existence. It was so nice to see that Ben was determined to give Connor what he needed and that was to let him dance and be his own brand of crazy knowing that he was his and would always be his and return home to him. It made me smile all the way through as I gained a far deeper understanding of them both. Easy to read, feel the thoughts and emotions as well as understand. Contains MM mature content of a BSDM-like nature.

Review: Bound Between You by Shaw Montgomery 5 of 5 stars

Bound Between You (Tender Control #4)









Bound Between You by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Keegan hasn't had any luck with Doms or dating but he won't let it stop him from searching for the right person after a visit to Bound & Controlled it might turn out to be two sexy men one of whom is flirty and the other is stern. Julian and Niall know they are not good for each other as they already tried once before when it ended in frustration and lots of baggage that was in the way. When the sweet artist bounces into the club they have to decide if they can move past what was in the past in order to all have a perfect future. Sometimes love is easy…sometimes love is hard…but it’s always worth fighting for.

I loved this story with the complication of Niall's past, the complication of the shared history between Julian and Niall and Keegan who was like a wrecking ball just being sweet, flirty, demanding, extremely talented as an artist and obsessed with earning orgasms. I loved the way that Keegan was the glue that held them all together and that he wasn't shy about being a dom from the bottom if the situation demanded it. I loved that it slowly developed into love and a special future. Easy to feel, read and understand. This story contains mature MMm content with BSDM-like behaviours involving an artistic sub, a switch and a Dom.

Bound for You by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ridley knows that life can take unexpected turns but no matter how hard he has to work he will keep his family together even if he meets a handsome older man who sends his heart racing and wants things he can't have. Warner doesn't like leaving things to fate but when the mean of his dreams who he thought he had allowed slipping away turns up at his door with pizza, his smile and a no strings attached proposition he has to think whether he wants those strings too.

I really enjoyed this story with the way that Asa from the previous book played a role in the story, the way that They were perfect for each other and the things that they got up to which were definitely not for children to witness. Warner was the perfect Dom who did what he could to support his boy until he knew the whole story and then did what he could to accept everything in this life. Easy to read, feel and understand. This story contains mature MM content with a BDSM-like D/s relationship and lots of inventive ways that Warner used to please Ridley.

Bound to You by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Asa has always known he wanted a Master but finding someone he can trust is not proving easy. Then he goes to Bound & Controlled and sees a man across the room and he needs to know the identity of the man with the compelling stare. Then someone from the long distant past shows up Stuart knows he has some decisions to make. Asa has always seen things a little bit differently and Stuart can't imagine letting him navigate the lifestyle or club on his own. Is he the right man for the sweet boy with the troubled past? Sometimes it takes two slightly broken souls to form one perfect love.

I really enjoyed this story with the very analytical Asa who has to learn life's softer skills and the hesitant Porter who needed to shift his view of Asa and realise that they were meant to be together. I loved the way that when they both started to really try and relax with each other that they were then able to deepen their relationship and that love was much easier to find. It was easy to pick up fears, hopes, thoughts and feelings from this book as I read it. Easy to read and understand. This story contains mature MM content containing BSDM-like elements with a D/s relationship.

I really enjoyed this story with the two men in love with each other gazing from afar until they stop ignoring it and give in to their desires. I loved the clear descriptions of the characters, the setting and the various faction who were involved. I loved the way that Clove was so friendly and able to disarm people as was shown repeatedly throughout the story. Marcel was definitely an alpha male who was determined to protect Clove and do whatever it took to care for him. Easy to read, feel and understand I was addicted to this story. This is an MM story with mature content.

Paediatric Nurse Gabe Sterling has heavy baggage from his past but is moving into the apartment above the motorbike workshop and so is around when his work schedule allows. Danny "Mrder" Murdoch works as a mechanic in the workshop and has some of his own baggage from his upbringing. The two strike up a friendship which soon becomes friends with benefits arrangement but never thought that love might be the endgame.

I loved this story with Gabe finding himself an actual family and a wider chosen family who soon became central to his life. I loved that he had a connection with Chase's aunt as a volunteer and that pulled his chosen family even more into his world. I liked the homophobic colleague storyline and how that was handled which on the face of it appeared wrong but was actually the right way to handle it. Easy to read, feel and understand. This is a steamy MM romance with a younger nurse with an affinity for silk and lace and an older mechanic with a tough reputation who is not so immune to a man in silk and lace where friends become lovers and opposites attract.

Annie by Paige Michaels
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Nurturing Centre is a special facility where littles can go to start over from a deeply regressed stage and then when they are ready they are matched up with caregivers who live in the gated community behind the centre which is a safe place reserved for age play. When Annie's company downsized and she loses her job Theo her neighbour finds her sobbing in the stairwell. Both looked at each other from afar but as soon as he helps her into her flat he can see that she is a Little and that she is his.

I enjoyed this short story and the struggles that Annie went through as she went back to the beginning and retrained as a Little for adoption with a forever Daddy. I found the uncertainty with Theo a bit silly as it was obvious to me that he would want to keep her after they made such a strong connection before they went to the centre. I found it a little strange that a nurse could afford a home and keep his own Little. Easy to read and understand. Contains mature content containing a BDSM DDLG relationship with the items associated with a young age so diapers, bottles, a paci and some medical procedures.

Yearn by A.D. Ellis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paramedic Khi Harris is trying to move on after a bad breakup and moves into Remmington Place but the only spare bed is sharing a room with his old enemy EMT Dre King. Khi has spent his life trying to prove himself and so this is not going to stop him from focusing on his end goal. Dre has finally accepted the truth that he is a gay man and now a new home with family and friends is what he needs to get comfortable and work towards his dream to become a clothing designer. When he did not accept was for Khi to walk back into his life and live in his bedroom. The only thing Khi and Dre can agree on is they most definitely don’t want to be thrown together, but that’s precisely what they get. The line between hate and love is easily blurred, but these two men are determined to fight each other tooth and nail.

I really enjoyed this book as Dre started trying to stay away from Khi before trying to apologise and befriend to acquaintances with benefits to lovers loving each other. It was fiery at points as they were in the hate zone before they moved to the sex zone and then the friend/love zones. There were a lot of emotions and a lot of unpacking to do but they did manage it quite well (when they got the courage to do that). Easy to read, feel and understand. As the last book in the series, there was an epilogue that looked at them all in the future. This is a steam MM story with enemies to lovers where two men who have hated each other for over a decade become exactly what the other needs.

Student Cooper Scott has no filter but dreams of opening his own preschool. His big plans for a successful future mean that falling for his dad’s best friend is NOT on the agenda. No worries, they’ll just keep it casual. Jesse Thompson is a widower and a new father at the age of fifty.

Do Cooper and Jesse end up in a heartbroken crash-and-burn situation? Or can love overcome all and give them a happily ever after?

I really enjoyed this story with the younger Cooper who is unable to filter and is impetuous and the cautious Jesse who is hesitant but then decides to throw all caution to the wind and see what can happen. I loved Hadley who was such a cutie and totally able to manipulate her grandfather who was having to be her daddy. Easy to read, feel and understand I was caught up in their story.

Lucas & Dean: On Cravenwood Block by A.D. Ellis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lucas would follow his childhood best friend Dean anywhere and so he is now the bartender on Cravenwood Block, living in a great place and his great friends but then he realises that he has fallen for Dean (but is keeping it hidden to make sure he doesn't lose his best friend). Doctor Dean worked hard and got the job he always wanted, his best friend by his side, a great place to live and some good friends. Finding the right girl to settle down with seems impossible but he will not let that task or his overbearing parents dampen his happiness. An unexpected kiss rocks both men to the core and leads them on a journey of self-discovery where they will have to decide between their nearly thirty-year friendship and a chance at true love. Can the men keep their friendship intact while allowing themselves to fall in love?

I enjoyed this story with the tortured Lucas who was totally in love with his best friend Dean but tried his hardest to hide it and support him even though it was not always easy. I loved the confrontations with Dean's family and that eventually, he was able to confront them and make it clear that it was his life and he would live it his way with whoever he wanted in it. This was easy to read, feel and understand and when they finally were together and admitted that they were in love with each other I just wanted to celebrate with them. This MM story has mature content and contains a steamy best-friends-to-lovers storyline between a bisexual bartender and a straight doctor who realises just how much he enjoys kissing his best friend and is not as straight as he thought.

Julian & Shaw: On Cravenwood Block










Julian & Shaw: On Cravenwood Block by A.D. Ellis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Apartment manager Julian has great friends, a close family and a job he loves although his love life has been lacklustre and while not actively looking he won't pass up a potential if it happens. Shaw has singlehandedly pulled himself up from his traumatic past and is ready for the next step. As soon as he arrives on Cravenwood Block he knows everything is going to change for the better. Julian's world shifts when he spots his own angel on earth and although Shaw is used to looking after himself he is not going to turn down the protective support Julian is offering. Shaw has a threat from the past but with Julian's help, he faces it and moves forward to replace ugly memories with happy ones.

I really enjoyed this story with the steady and comforting Julian and the strong and determined Shaw who wanted to move on from his past and build a new life and a new future somewhere else with a much happier focus. I liked that Julian tried to offer support and not mix it with pleasure although, in the end, they morphed into something together that transformed into love. I just wanted to hug Shaw. Easy to read, feel and understand. This MM story contains mature content in a steamy roommate-to-lovers age-gap romance.

Review: Ollie & Bash by A.D. Ellis 4 of 5 stars

Ollie & Bash (On Cravenwood Block)










Ollie & Bash by A.D. Ellis
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Music director Ollie doesn't hold back as he has no filter and so drives right in and propositions the sexy older man he sees in the Crawnwood diner and isn't deterred when he gets shot down. Then he remembers he needs to think about tomorrow and the new boss he will get at work and focuses on that. School manager Sebastian is in a hole and so takes the job at Cravenwood Block as a stepping stone to getting up and out of the hole he is in but has no plans to stick around. If he could find a place to live and get started on working through this temporary obstacle can start to feel more confident. Ollie and Bash don't have any business getting involved by fate have a different plan as too many things bring them back together again showing that they have much more in common than their messy pasts.

I enjoyed this story with the older Bash who is very uptight and restrained and the younger Ollie who is just delightful with his total lack of filter and exuberant nature. They truly were opposites and yet they were also made for each other as together they created a balance. I loved the way that Bash's elderly relative helped Ollie to break down some of the barriers that were stopping him from involvement and commitment. It was easy to read, feel and understand so I was fully engaged with and behind the characters. This MM story contains mature content in a steamy, opposites attract roommates to lovers age-gap romance.

I really enjoyed this book with the story about Jett meeting whirlwind Leighton and how over time he managed to fall for him and how their relationship developed in stages.

A great value set of three books if this kind of series about age-play involving an alien and human appeal to you.

She was looked after like a baby, had invasive treatments, was fed with a bottle at times, was given enemas and could earn a punishment spanking.

I enjoyed this story in that Payi was quite an engaging person and I could understand and sympathise with her sudden and complete change in life circumstances. Easy to read and understand the new world she was in was clearly described. There is some mature content in this story. This is like an age-play story where the Daddy figure is an alien but it is very similar to a normal DDLG story from the BDSM-like world which includes spanking and diapers.

Pieter Nillson usually worked in an animal sanctuary but the next thing he was waking up on Nrantia with a Keeper called Huma who has named him Pien. He now has to get used to life wearing a quobon (diaper), drinking from a bottle and being given swift punishments when he misbehaves. He does have a few problems getting used to things but Huma did what needed to be done to make him happy and able to cope.

I enjoyed this story with the growing relationship between Pien and Huma and how that developed into mutual respect and love. I gift he was given about what happened on Earth after he had left was wonderful and very important in helping him to settle. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Now called Naja her Keeper is called Srih and she will have to get used to wearing a quobon (diaper), spankings, bottle feeds and medical procedures. In return, she has the dedicated love and care of Srih.

I enjoyed this story with the Naja's arrival on Nrantia and her relationship with her keeper Srih. She had a similar time as the others in getting used to the new behaviours and routines.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Gage runs a successful cyber security business but following the tragic death of his brother, he is now the guardian to his two-year-old niece called Laney. She is feeling the loss of her father and the disruption to her life and his attempts to get her a nanny have all failed until he hires Ari who is perfect for Laney (and Gage). Ari has just come out of a relationship and is shy of men and definitely of being abandoned. Gage did a profile on Cuffd with a letter to Santa and Ari has a profile there too. Can Gage and Ari find love as much as they both love Laney to have the kind of HEA they all deserve?

I liked this story with Laney at the centre as they both focused on what was right for her as well as what was right for them both too. I loved that they had a disagreement but were able to discuss it and sort out their differences. The Christmas present for Gage from Ari was inspired. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Farmer Clay writes a letter to Santa on the Cuffd app asking for a bratty boy who is not a pushover and needs nurturing and correction but will love him unconditionally. Ty lives with his parents who are constantly trying to either set him up or get him into a worthy career, but all he wants is to avoid all of that and race on his motorbike. Ty would like a Daddy but he is tired of being used for one night of sex only. Can these two get together?

I enjoyed this story and the caring way that they both looked after each other and the way that their love grew over time with care and attention. I loved Clay's tolerance and Ty's passion for life. I thought it was clever to suggest that Ty might be more than just a submissive and that answered a lot of questions. I was thrilled when Ty's parents came to their senses. A great conclusion to the story. Easy to read, feel and understand. This story features mature content in this BSDM-like DDLB/Ds relationship.

Orson Bell is a consultant who travels the country helping companies be more efficient and achieve their goals. He wants to find a boy who he can care for and call his own forever. When he becomes stranded on a ranch in Canada at their B&B, Gentry Martel works on the ranch during the day but is actually a Little who had a bikie, character PJs and plays with bricks in the evening. Having made the connection Orson knows he is precious and is determined to get to know him. For this, to work long term one of them is going to have to change their entire life.

In this novella, I enjoyed Orson after he decided to stay. Before then, I did think he was using Gentry and it was going to end badly. Apart from the letter that Orson wrote to Santa they didn't really use it much as they were in the same house. I liked the way that Orson tried to look after Gentry and was careful as it was his first time having sex. Easy to read and understand.

In this novella, Tracy is a super shy boy who prefers nighties over PJs, has a spectacular vintage Barbie collection and a muscular, bearded Daddy who can’t keep his hands off the prettiest boy he’s ever seen.

I enjoyed this fairly quick read where Jaxon tried to not fall for Tracy but in the end, he couldn't resist him.

I loved that he tried his best to get Tracy some Christmas presents and that he approached everything with fun and loving care. Easy to read and understand.

As part of the Cuffd Christmas promotion, Jeremy writes a letter asking Santa for a boy to love and treasure who is not greedy and after his money. Roman is a hardworking Boy who does several jobs to get through college and now earns a living afterwards. He just wants a Daddy to love and care for him. At a more basic level, they are both lonely. This story is about an awkward elf of a boy who hates Christmas, a Santa Daddy who adores the holidays, and their best friends who have no concept of boundaries.

I enjoyed this story but it was nothing special just a fairly quick pleasant read with a sweet HEA. I admired Roman's determination to earn money so that he could keep himself although I did find the solicitor's letter a bit far-fetched. An enjoyable read and a HEA at the end.

Disabled Army veteran Ben follows his best friend's suggestion and posts a letter to Santa on the Cuffd app asking for a boy to take care of, cuddle and praise. He receives a lovely reply from nursery worker Jayden who has always been used in the past and just desperately needs someone to love and care for him. This was a determined first-time Daddy who did everything right and a sweet Little who needed a Daddy to behave like a real Daddy and not a poor excuse for one.

I loved this book because Jayden was so sweet and life had treated him so poorly that he had no idea how he should be treated and that he did deserve it. Ben had definitely been through some tough times following his injury that ended his military career but he had risen above it and was doing his best to counsel others with injuries. He was the perfect Daddy to learn about how to care for his boy and to make sure that he knew how special and wanted he was. Ben's best friend Jude was a lovely man who was suffering from PTSD and I loved the way that when Ben was helping him Jayden just joined in and helped. There were several times when I found myself crying for Jayden and so I was thrilled when he found the kind of happiness he deserved. Easy to read, feel and understand. The book contains mature content and a BDSM-DDLB relationship with diapers. There were also mentions of PTSD and there was a 12-year age gap between Ben and Jayden.

The Royal Bastards MC, Tampa Chapter, Boxset - Books 1-4 - The Complete Series









The Royal Bastards MC, Tampa Chapter, Boxset - Books 1-4 - The Complete Series by K.E. Osborn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This a great value box set which will keep you addicted from the start to the finish.

#1 - Defining Darkness - 5*

Nycto is President of the RB Tampa chapter MC and is well known for having absolutely no emotions, so he surprises everyone (including himself) when he decides to keep Eva when conducting a business transaction. This has a kind of domino effect on him but he knew that there was something very special about Eva that just called to him, and he would not be denied!

Wow - this had all the required features of an MC story. A brooding alpha male with hidden depth and emotions, with so many secrets. A beautiful woman who was incredibly sassy. The perfect combination. It was like being on a rollercoaster with all the secrets, emotions, twists, turns and the usual mixture of drama and danger from a story in an MC. Well written, easy to read and understand. This is definitely a book you will just devour. Does contain violence and sexual content.

#2 - Luring Light - 5*

Void is the VP of the RB Tampa chapter MC and ever since she arrived with her sister Eva he has been captivated and protective of her sister Ivy. He has built up this picture of her being pure and untouchable in his head which frustrates her immensely - she just wants him. Can they work things out and be together?

This was certainly a very enjoyable MC book. I loved the various battles - some of them were of will between people and sometimes physical between people all around Ivy. Throughout it all, she was a very feisty woman who was certainly not prepared to be a victim, be demure and pure and certainly not be the minor player in any relationship. It was great to see Void have feelings and become more human around Ivy. Lots of drama, excitement, crossed signals between people and love rivalry, it was topped off with a visit from Void's past and the dramatic resolution to that. Clearly written and easy to feel and understand. Contains explicit sexual content.

#3 - Seeking Shadowa - 5*

Dash was convinced that he was in love with Ivy but she is in love with and has chosen VP Void. Instead of accepting it, he ends up being given a time-out and finds himself in a dive bar drinking away his sorrows. Can this provide the answers he needs as he confides in Shadow? Has he found the answers he needs without realising it and after connecting the pieces he will then have to fight for what he wants with everything that he has. How will it all work out?

I loved this story which started with Dash being an immature dick and ended with him being the kind of man to deserve a happy future with a family. There was definitely a lot of drama, danger and excitement in this story which was pretty much from the start to the finish. I loved the connections back to Dash and his childhood and the examples of the actions that a parent will take in order to protect their child. I loved Shadow who was just sassy from the start to the finish of this book. Well written, easy to read and understand this book contains explicit sexual content.

#4 - Alluring Abyss - 5*

Ominous has been through so much and even though he has PTSD he has Scarlett in his life who is determined to stay the course as long as he doesn't mess it up even more. Then a danger from the past comes out of nowhere and he stands to lose everything, his girl, his best friend and her daughter.

I really enjoyed this story with the emotional content about the present and the past plus the whole brotherhood within the MC and his previous military life. I loved Scarlett who was strong and sassy and determined to have the life she wanted on her own terms. His best friend's daughter was just adorable (and knew it!). There was a lot of danger, drama and excitement in this book but the ending was all emotions, feelings and thoughts of the future. easy to read, feel and understand. Contains some mature content.

However, he has a patient who he lusts after and he can't say or do anything about it due to the patient/doctor rules no matter how much he might want him. Will the Cuffd distraction actually turn out to be just the very boy he loves?

I enjoyed this story with the tortured Little with the OCD that had taken over his life and the doctor who tried to show him how to control it but ended up falling in love with him. The meltdown was interesting and I loved that he cared enough to find him, get a colleague/friend involved and make sure he was safe and happy going forward. Easy to read, feel and understand.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Using the Cufff'd app Everett Scott (Scott-Free) asks for someone to learn to love slowly over time and to hold them. But then he has a magical one-night stand but is determined not to give in to this attraction to a boy, after all, he is straight. Via the app, he starts talking to BoyToHold and starts to wonder if this might be the one even though he is struggling to forget the guy from before. How is he supposed to choose between them when he never got the first guy's name? Santa might just give him everything he wants. As long as another snap decision doesn't destroy everything.

I enjoyed this and then I started to get really annoyed with Everett as he was letting his past dictate his future too much. I also found it strange for him to treat Morgan as a boy, to call him a boy, yet be happy to have vaginal intercourse with him - surely that is not what a gay man would do and all it caused was to treat him like a strange hybrid. I did find his determination to help with his injections right and so some of this was good. Contains mature content in this BSDM-like DDLB story (which felt a little like a DDLG in places).

Kiki Brock as new to Blaze and is a big personality who is determined to enjoy her life. When she glimpses a stern man visiting his sister in the Littles section she is instantly intrigued. The man checks all of her boxes and she hopes that her zest for life will catch his attention.

For a large part of this story I really disliked Kiki as she let her mouth run away with her, didn't think about what she said and seemed to cuss a lot. Thankfully Terry did not let that put him off and was determined to get the overwhelmed Little to calm down and start to think about what she was saying and doing. Apart from a hiccup along the way thankfully their relationship was solid and grew into something special with the help of some Fudge Crunch cupcakes. Easy to read and understand.

Little Benny is stranded at Heathrow and a friend of his in the US manages to contact a Daddy who is there to act as a temporary daddy. Daddy Robert is Scottish and was also stuck there and steps in to help Benny. I loved that he helped Benny to make responsible decisions of his own choice when he was big but also did what he could to support time for him to be little. I loved the epilogue. Contains some mature content and this was a BSDM-like DDLB story.

Some of the others were novellas and it helped to have read books by the author before in the associated series. Generally, they were pleasant stories but did not do much for me. Most are BSDM-like DDLG.

But seeing Troy and his sub Oliver he was mesmerised and could not stop watching them. They had discussed him and decided to keep him - they just knew they needed a third to complete them and he was it - but was he ready to make a full commitment to them?

I enjoyed this story where Bryce got a chance at happiness with the two men he had been fixated with.

Grant had always loved a more feminine man in sexy lingerie but as he looked more like a bouncer than the insurance agent that he really was all the pretty guys ran. Carter seemed different as he saw the real man underneath the tattoos and muscles. Could Grant get Carter to understand that he liked him just the way that he was? Carter thought he had found the perfect man as Grant didn't mind his more feminine look. But Carter had had one bad date after another and he was very gun-shy. Does he have the courage to let |Grant in or will his fears keep them apart?

I enjoyed this story with the nervous Carter and the confident Grant who was determined to be gentle with his man while also reinforcing just how pretty he was. I loved the old ladies in Carter's store and the way that the family did their best to make sure that Carter knew that he was accepted and part of the family too. The way that the story ended was priceless and I can't wait to read what happens in the final book in the series now that the Domme is back.

Brent by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Brent is notorious for his bad luck with men and now he has fallen for a Dom who he can't have especially as all he gets is mixed signals from him. Taking time off work is not likely to make it any better. Calen has a problem as he is a Dom who has particular requirements that no one will understand and he is never likely to find a Sub who will understand so he never goes for anything more than a one-night scene. This is made much worse when he has fallen for a sub who he can't have.

I enjoyed this story of the two best friends who wanted each other but assumed that they were not wanted by each other, I liked the explanation of the unusual way that Dom Calen wanted his submissive to act and that Brent was happy to play that role as long as they could be together. I really felt for them both and it was quite emotional when they finally were able to get together before they completely self-destructed. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Garrett by Shaw Montgomery
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Garrett is at a breaking point as he has seen the same customer (who he is attracted to and maybe even infatuated with) far too many times in the week. As a Dom that shouldn't be happening to him as he is not sure if he is gay let alone a sub - plus there is a number one rule to not mix business with pleasure. Wyatt is losing his mind. All he wants to do is kneel in front of the sexy insurance agent who never seems to see him just that he comes in way too often. When two men are missing what is in front of them it might take the family to point out the obvious - that they were meant for each other

I enjoyed this story with the two men where one was oblivious and the other was too nervous to take it any further than attempt to be seen. They really were perfect for each other with Garrett the strong dominant and Wyatt who was very submissive. As soon as the lightbulb moment happened there really was no stopping them. Easy to read, feel and understand it was great to experience the joy of their relationship and happiness. This story contains mature MM content containing BSDM-like elements of a D/s nature including spanking and orgasm denial.
