Alpha Ezra has finally decided his big house is just depressing without people living in it. His attempts at finding a sane roommate are scary at first, but he doesn't throw in the towel right away. Omega Gerald is happy for his best friend and former roommate, but he can't afford to pay the full rent on his own. So when he sees an ad for a low-cost room for rent that sounds too good to be true, he wonders if it was meant to be. Alpha Tyler is staying in Oak Grove for a job that should only take a few months, but living out of a hotel gets old fast. So when he learns about a room for rent in a nice house near town, he's happy to have a more comfortable place to live.

Knives thought he was over him. But eight years after he betrayed him, we're suddenly working for the same organization. It's impossible to be professional when all I can think about is how much I want to hurt him and make him suffer the way I suffered. And how much I want to completely wreck him until he's a mess of pleasure and pain. No matter how hard he tries, he can't stay away. Maddox: never expected to see Knives again having put that part of his life behind him. Yet now we're both made men in the same organization. Worse: the boss is forcing us to work together. There's no way for Maddox to apologize. so he'll take whatever he gives him, the good and the bad. He deserves to suffer. Sometimes, Maddox can't help but wish that he deserved to be happy, too.

I enjoyed this story although I did feel that the anger from Knives went a little too far. There was so much passion from them both I can understand how they were made to work together. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Unfettered Siren by S. Rodman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blue is a a broken mess. He hides at the bottom of his pool. Human Sammy seems sweet. He has been used and abused too. A fellow survivor. So Blue is not scared of him.

But when he carelessly falls into his pool and Blue saves him from drowning, he is not at all happy about the mate bond it creates. He has to find a way to undo it as he is not fit to be anyone's mate. He is pathetic, and the thought of intimacy repulses him. While Sammy is a cheerful, bright ball of sunshine despite everything that has been done to him. Blue will find a way to fix this, and then we will both be free.

I enjoyed the story with the accident, trying to fix it then changing their minds. Blue was a complex character after everything that was done to him. Sammy had his own demons which made them perfect for each other. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Unfettered Demon by S. Rodman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For a hundred years, Grey has been chained to a bed and used by humans. A pathetic, broken excuse for a demon - an incubus who is lost. All he knows is fear. He drifts, dreams and dissociates. .He barely remembers being kept in a billionaire’s harem, hardly recalls these paranormal boys who call me their friend. They say we are free now but he's not so sure. His new keeper is called Mal. He is handsome and dangerous. He feeds Grey well and pulls him back to reality. He is stern and dominating, and Grey likes it - surrendering to his will would be so easy. But Grey doesn’t trust, can’t trust - that part of him has been shattered into a thousand pieces. Is Mal strong enough to hold him so tight that all his jagged parts fit back together? Or is he his final destruction?

This was a good read as Mal fought to bring Grey back and feed him enough that he could thrive while learning to live a more "normal" life. I loved some of the ingenious ways that Mal found to feed Grey without adding to his trauma. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with nature content.

Professor Gabriel Morgan is in southern Missouri for one reason: to repair his relationship with his brother. It is not to make friends or coddle the teaching assistants the university throws at him. Benjamin Carter is young, barely competent, and more trouble than he’s worth. He’s also fun, charming and stunningly beautiful. Gabriel’s goal of getting Benji to quit isn’t as easy as he expects. Instead of cowering, Benji either tells Gabriel exactly what he thinks or, worse still, flirts outrageously. It’s maddening and so very tempting. They’re both holding on to their secrets—Benji’s present and Gabriel’s past. But these things have a way of coming out. Is this thing between them real? And are they willing to risk everything to find out?

Dean thinks that it is the neighbours’ fault. All of it. Well, not the booze but everything else that lead up to the weird we're going to figure this out exploration is definitely the neighbours’ fault. Dean’s starting to realise he’s not as nervous about their new adventure as he should be but that doesn't mean he hasn't found plenty to worry about. With his roommates and best friends, there’s always something to worry about. Joel thinks that they have the best neighbours, but they've left Joel with more than a few questions. Why do people submit? Why don’t more people like humiliation? Why has it taken him so long to figure out how much he likes his roommates? Yes, Joel has questions, but he’s not going to let that stop him from diving into all kinds of fun. Tate thinks that they are adorably insane, but Tate wouldn't change his best friends for anything. He also can’t deny them much, so no one is surprised when he dives right in to answering Joel’s questions and helping Dean to figure out that caretaking comes in all kinds of interesting packages. New questions might bring curious changes, but he knows he’s the Dom for the job. When three best friends sit down with questions and fruity drinks, it'll take more than second-guessing and alcohol to keep them from lending a helping hand and sharing their passion-filled hearts.

This was an interesting discussion followed by a fun change to their relationship as the roommates and friends explore what they really want in the future. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MMM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s and DDLB dynamics.

The Cowboy and the Hoodlum by Jackie North
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A job in the valley provides the break Royce so desperately needs from his regular life. Fresh air, plenty of sunshine, and hard work? That’s the ticket. Evenings around a campfire? Sign him up. But when a new group of ex-cons arrives, ex-cons he’s responsible for, Royce realises he is woefully unprepared. Not for the task of being team lead, he’s fully capable of that. No, it’s the bad in one particular bad boy that he is drawn to. The challenging mind beneath that messy dark hair, the slouch, and the long legs in grease-stained blue jeans and disreputable black motorcycle boots. It’s more than Royce is prepared to resist. The bad boy in question, Jonah, has a telling I don’t care shrug that reveals a heart-stopping vulnerability and now all is lost as Royce falls hopelessly in love.

This was a nice story but I found myself increasingly annoyed with both men. Jonah was very confusing with his relationship with his best friend (or was he) and the so-called bi-awakening of Royce which was almost bypassed. So I wanted to like it much more than I actually did. This was an MM story with mature content.

Sweetheart by Athena Steller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Levi

He left behind his clutch, his parents, and siblings for the chance of finding his mate. The person who was meant to be just for him. The perfect match promised by the fates for the chosen ones. Finding his mate nearly brought Levi to his knees with happiness. Mason, a park ranger, was everything he could have ever wanted as a partner. As his boy. Except Levi wasn’t used to talking to people, especially humans like Mason. What started as an attempt to connect through a dating app had led to Mason turning Levi away. Struggling, Levi tries to forget his dreams and leave Mason in peace but the fates have other ideas.

Mason

Running and hiding were two things Mason knows how to do well. He’d been born to a monster that had taught Mason and his twin to hunt and destroy those in the paranormal world, but Mason figured out the human that raised him was the real monster and he’d wanted no part of killing anyone. He’d found a home, a job, friends but he was still missing the connection that he craved. Mason had thought he’d met the man of his dreams through a dating app, but the man refused to meet him. After a night of too much alcohol and loneliness, Mason made a huge mistake. He had to put that man out of his mind though. His survival depended on Mason keeping himself safe. Out of the hands of his father. Mason believed he’d gotten away but when the past comes for him, he has to turn to the men that live five miles from the state park and might have their own secrets. One of the men that Mason can’t stop thinking about…until he realizes he knows that firm strong chest. Fate doesn’t like to be ignored. Levi and Mason are about to learn that no matter how many obstacles are in their path, what is meant to be will be. Danger is around the corner and only the strong will survive.

I enjoyed this story with the mates who didn't have the easiest start to their relationship even before family got involved. I was sad to realise that this was the last book in the series. Lots of emotions and feelings in this book. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

There’s even a baseball cap she bought for him when she was pregnant. It’s almost too much and he needs to escape for a little while. Thankfully, his membership at Chained is reciprocal with the local club here. He’ll go, find a daddy to scene with, and be ready to face reality in the morning. If only it were as easy as that.

I loved their relationship and the way that Kevin cared for Reid making sure that he could cope with all the clearing out and memories. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Nate is pulled into a mission to rescue a kidnapped woman, being held in Paris. But a normal mission versus one run by Terkel is a whole different story. Nate’s first telepathic communication tells him that this will be like nothing else in his life. During a layover in Paris, while traveling to start a job in Africa with Bullard, Madeline awoke, tied up in a strange hotel room with another female captive, named Anna. Nate comes to the rescue and shares how he had been called in to locate Madeline, when she didn’t arrive as planned. Yet she wonders if she can trust him, especially when she has no recollection of who kidnapped her in the first place. When Anna disappears again, Madeline’s even more worried. What are the chances the kidnappers are looking for round two with Madeline as well?

However, before he even arrives in Bali, he already finds himself sweeping in to take care of one Arlington Hythe-Wandsworth. He’s hopeless…and perfect. But we live an ocean apart and both of us would be ruined if our secrets came out. Okay so calling Arlo ‘clueless’ might be putting it mildly. As the heir to his affluent family’s name and business, he's led a sheltered, privileged life. So it’s no surprise that when he sneaks away on his first solo trip, he almost immediately gets robbed. It could have been so much worse if his new friend Thomas hadn’t been there to save him, though!

Scotty is What Maxwell Prescott's friends call him but it has been a very long time since he's seen them. Working a low salary, dead-end job in his father's company was not how he saw his life going when he was at the university, but it wasn't like he had a choice. His stepmother controlled every aspect of his life. When an incredibly sexy bartender called Beck stumbled into his life, he wanted one thing that his stepmother didn't control. His stepmother had other plans. She'd handpicked his bride, and it wasn't Beck. He has to do something to escape this money-grubbing witch, and he knows just the people to call. Scotty walking into Beck's life had been a surprise, and a wonderful one. He could easily see himself spending the rest of his life with him. Hiding their relationship from everyone is their only choice. The only way that Scotty can see his father once a week is if he stays under his stepmother's control. That choice gets a whole lot harder when Scotty suddenly becomes engaged, and not to Beck. Instead of being heartbroken, He decides to do everything within his power to help Scotty escape, but the plan they devise comes with danger, to Beck, to Scotty, and to his stroke-ridden father.

Ineligible Receiver by Rheland Richmond by Emerson Beckett

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Cooper met Greg Foster, the straight tight end for the Portland Pirates, the rookie needed a friend to bring him out of his shell. There was more to the shy twenty-two-year-old bookworm than met the eye, and he was the perfect person for the task. His roommate and best friend, Christian, was involved with the Pirates QB, so a new friend to hang out with was good. He pushed down his attraction to him and became the best friend he ever had. We bar-hopped all over Portland and played video games in our apartments. We even loved the same indy band from Seattle. Then they fucked up when they fell in love. And by fucked up, I mean they got married even though they knew their marriage had to remain a secret. No one knew about us. Not even our closest friends. And every time they asked, we gave them the same line - we're just friends. And ultimately, the reason for that secret would tear them apart. Now, here Cooper was three years after meeting him, and wasn’t sure how to survive without him. He was the love of his life, and he was his.

OMG this story was so emotional and you will cry a lot reading this. I was torn between hugging them or knocking their heads together. There was so much love and passion between these two men. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Friends asked Dominic to share it room with Jesse. What his friend’s don’t know is Jesse and him met in Madrid and had the best weekend of his life. They connected, but the timing was off. He went back to America, Dominic went back to Italy. Now, three years later, Dominic is the new kicker for the Portland Pirates, and Jesse is moving his security firm to my city. Would he remember him? Did that weekend mean as much to him as it did to Dominic? Will sparks fly again, or was that weekend just a fling? Only one way to find out.

I loved the passion between these two men and their relationship which was just as caring and passionate as you would expect. It was emotional at times so be prepared to cry at times. It was great to catch up with the other players, their husbands and children. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Callum has built his life around his work as a vet, managing his equine rescue, and spending time with his friends. But one thing he never expected?

Then the infamous Declan Miller, the new free-agent running back, has signed a one-year deal with the Portland Pirates. Now, Callum's life is turned upside down as Declan reappears, thrusting his unforgettable self back into his world. Declan met Callum in Alejandro’s Bar one night in late July, meeting someone was the last thing on his mind. But the sexy guy with wavy dark blond hair and hazel-green eyes caught his attention immediately. After a night of the best sex of his life, he knew he had to push him away. He wasn’t doing relationships anymore, and this gorgeous, funny man had the power to break him. But fate has a twisted sense of humour.

This was a story full of passion as the line between love and hate are not that far apart.

As usual other team members and their husbands were involved in bringing the two men together. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fred Brennan’s father was a brutal man, both professionally and personally. When the kingpin died a few years ago, Fred welcomed it, but not the brutal role he was thrust into. As a successful doctor, he’s devoted his life to helping people in a career he loves. The last thing he wants is to continue to fill his father’s shoes as head of the Irish Mafia, but after three years, he’s no closer to offloading his dad’s title onto someone else. As a mafia boss, he’s forced to deal with the elite assassin organization, Lex Talionis bringing him face to face with the infuriating man who runs it. As head of Lex Talionis, secrecy is vital to Vincenzo Belini and his organization. Nothing could coax him into the light to reveal himself to Fred. That is until dangerous adversaries emerge from the shadows, all vying for Fred’s life. Vincenzo knows the enemy is closer than Fred realizes. He just has to convince Fred he’s not one of them because for as much of a pain Fred can be, Vincenzo is exactly the right man to keep him focused both in and out of the bedroom.

Can he rely on Vincenzo to help take down the growing enemy and give Fred the happy ending he’s always wanted?

I loved this spin-off series and the whole plot of this dramatic story where it was hard to work out who to trust. The story was full of passion, betrayal and at times joy. I loved Fred and Vin who were such a great couple. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Ten years. It's been ten years since Marcus Monroe walked out of Aidan's life. Now he’s back as my brother’s #1 wide receiver. And he wants me back. We’ll see about that. Ten Years.

He's been traded to the Portland Pirates, and his brother is my new quarterback. He'll stop at nothing to get him back. This time, there will be no interference.

I really enjoyed this story with the two men who loved each other but were apart for years because one took some very bad advice. I loved Aidan's determination to not fold easily and Marcus's determination to win him back. So much passion and love in this story which were clear in the writing. Easy to read, feel and understand.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Christian just thinks he met a single dad of two at Cannon Beach but he was actually Alex Hayes, the NFL quarterback of the Portland Pirates . The dad he schools on the pleasures of how to love another man. He re-awakens his dormant bisexual side that he'd never had a chance to really explore. Their connection is strong and by the time the week alone is up, Alex wants more with him. Until Alex's reality invades their bubble and he has to break his heart. And his own. But Christian is a keeper, and he'll do whatever it takes to win the football hating hottie back. Even if it means playing dirty.

I loved this story as the quarterback does every thing he can to win his son's schoolteacher over until he was his again. I loved their relationship and the deep love that they shared. Christian has such a beautiful soul. This story was full of passion and emotions that were easy to feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Zapped in the Zinnias by Dale Mayer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With Mathew’s murder done and dusted, and her future now wide open, Doreen turns to sorting out her financial world, particularly as her antiques are sold. And helping others is moving up her list of things she wants to do. Especially after finding a young woman who wants to get out of the streetwalker world and move back home. Of course, a decision like that doesn’t come without strings, and Doreen and her animals are soon embroiled in pimps and madams. A world she knows nothing about but is quickly learning. Mix that up with Nan getting kidnapped, only to bail her kidnapper out of jail, and Doreen’s world is chaos as usual. Corporal Mack Moreau has a plan, but implementing that plan requires a special moment - the right moment. And trying to figure out when and what that moment looks like is a challenge. Especially as it involves Doreen.

This was an interesting read as it wasn't the usual kind of case for Doreen as a cold case was there, but there were also a lot of present-day problems. I enjoyed this change of subject area although the thought of Nan being kidnapped was a bit distressing as she is such a nice lady. Easy to read, feel and understand I was just a little disappointed in the level of progress Doreen and Mack made with their relationship.

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

Review: Humility by Lark Taylor 5 of 5 stars

Humility by Lark Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Riley is a commitment phobe and a no strings hookup with sexy fireman and wolf shifter seems perfect. Then they become friends which was perfect until Riley wantef more from Danny.so he signs up for an app that arranges anonymous encounters. No names. No faces shown. No danger of pesky feelings getting involved. What could possibly go wrong? Danny can't take a mate because it would mean returning to the clan who betrayed him. I’d have to leave behind this life I’ve built, a life I’m very happy with. One where Riley occupies most of my free time. Riley is determined to use the app and so Danny's wolf insists that he be his anonymous hookup. It’s idiot-proof. At least, it would be, if Danny wasn’t an idiot. Turns out Riley isn’t the only one who should be scared of hooking up and realising you want more.

I adored this story with the hookup that turned to friendship and then something that was so much more. I loved their relationship which grew with them to be what they needed it to be. The descriptions of wolf pack area and members was detailed and their motivations was clear and easy to understand. This was an MM story with mature content. I was crushed to realise that this was the last book in the series.
