His grandmother proudly declared that they were descendants of the Fair Folk. He thought she was batty. Until the fey invaded Earth and he saw that he looked just like them. He had to leave his grandmother all alone. Run, hide and survive. His life was hell, and it was all the fey's fault. So when he got the perfect opportunity to take a prince out, he seized it with both hands. Except he messed it up and was claimed as a pet by Prince Tristan Y Mabinogi.

He never thought he'd find both in the small town of Jade River, where people take the holiday season very seriously (and always with beer or mulled wine). He ended up in the arms of exactly the man he wanted, and we shared a scorching night under his Christmas tree that he'll never forget. Then reality hit.

But on these cold winter nights, he's starting to think he's addicted to him.

Dev came to tiny Majestic, Wyoming, to escape misfortune: the loss of his brother; his parents’ blame for it; the billion-dollar secret that caused it all. He finds peace in his horses, in his friends, in quiet nights alone and sometimes in remembering a scorching-hot one-night-stand from two years ago. But everything changes when Tully Bowman, the man behind that unforgettable encounter, turns up in Majestic bringing Dev the daughter he's inherited (along with her multi-million-dollar trust fund). Just like that, his peace becomes chaos, his quiet nights are filled with little Lellie’s cries for “Daddy,” and the heat between Tully and him becomes more than just a memory. Because it seems Tully’s planning to stick around at least until Dev proves he's a “suitable father” and not the fortune-hunter Lellie’s grandparents think that he is. And the longer they spend together the more he challenges and provokes Dev, comforts and calms him the harder it is to remember why he ever thought one night would be enough. He's a bad bet for fatherhood, but if he chooses to keep Lellie and raise her as his own, it won’t be for her money. It will be because this precious girl and the man who brought her to him might be the fresh start and new family his heart has been looking for.

Before he knows it, dusty boots feel more comfortable than his shiny wingtips, coffee at the Love Muffin tastes better than Starbucks, and being the First Husband of Majestic starts to seem as important as any corporate merger he's ever negotiated. But for a man with secrets to keep and a whole life waiting for him back in Manhattan, the only thing worse than Marrying Mr. Majestic would be falling in love with him for real.

I loved this story with the two men who were thrust together in Vegas but over time living in close proximity feelings started to become involved. I loved the involvement of friends and family and how that fed into the story. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Straight Dad by Raleigh Ruebins 4 of 5 stars

Straight Dad by Raleigh Ruebins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Straight dads don’t get crushes on 22-year-old star quarterbacks. Right? Kace Tomlin is the nation’s hottest, youngest pro quarterback at age 22, and he’s out and proud. When Kace hired Nathan's little construction company to work on his multi-million dollar mansion, it was the quickest hell his of my life. Usually Nathan is in Dad Mode, 24/7 - boring, predictable, and dependable. But being plunged into a young hotshot football player’s world is anything but predictable. Nathan can’t stop watching him. Craving him. And after one blazing hot night, they can’t keep our hands off each other. He hates that he gets his wires all crossed, and makes me feel like he's nowhere close to straight. But Kace has a TV crew filming every moment of his private life. We’re on the show now, for all of Kace’s fans to see, keeping our smoldering secret hidden. Is this all just another game? Or will he be reckless with me, for the whole world to see?

This was a sweet story as Nathan discovered that he was not as straight as he thought he was. However, I did find it as a bit rushed and that more could have been made of Nathan's discovery. It was easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Prince of Lies by Lucy Lennox 3 of 5 stars

Prince of Lies by Lucy Lennox

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Rowe Prince is many things. Gorgeous? Yes. Unintentionally hilarious? Absolutely. The hottest, sunshiniest virgin to ever set foot in Manhattan? Oh, yeah. One thing he’s not, though, is a reclusive billionaire named Sterling Chase who supposedly founded Bash's company. So when the man (literally) stumbles into a charity gala saying precisely that, he does what anyone would: he sets out to prove he’s a liar. Except it turns out Rowe’s ridiculous falsehoods are surprisingly enchanting. The heart of gold beneath his borrowed tux makes even a jaded businessman like Bash start to believe in fairy tales. And there’s no faking the heat between them when the man’s in his bed. But when it turns out Rowe’s lies conceal a secret that threatens the company Bash has spent years building, he has to choose: say goodbye to the sweet pretender he's falling for, or risk everything for a man who just might be the prince of lies.

This was a sweet story about two men who met when one impersonated a fictitious character much to the amusement of the other. It helped to uncover a plot to steal the company and Rowe's intellectual property. I thought that the plot was mad and the speed that they fell in love was a bit quick. Easy to read and understand.

Review: Anything But Convenient by A.W. Scott 4 of 5 stars

Anything But Convenient by A.W. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Takeshi felt that he failed at protecting Sinclair. That bullet shouldn’t have ever been fired. But it was, and he'd paid the price for his mistake by losing his voice. When the team decided it was time for me to get out of my own head, Tank goes to extremes.

Why hire someone to teach him ASL when he could simply marry them? Sure, made perfect sense. Except his new husband turned out to exactly what he needed. Just not how we all thought he would be. One minute Archie's moping about losing his job and possibly his work visa, the next he's standing in a room saying his vows. Ok, so maybe it wasn’t exactly like that. But it was definitely a fast journey to ‘I do’ with his now husband, Takeshi. His boss assured him this is the right move for both of us. It would be an easy win-win. Except it wasn’t. Because the men NightShade were trying to take down didn’t take kindly to being defeated. He never thought his happily ever after would come with so much murder.

I loved this story with all of the emotions and feelings from both men followed by all of the attraction and passion. The dramatic actions of Nightshade's enemies was certainty a baptism of fire for Archie and I loved his confidence that someone would come to rescue him. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Flip Job by Raleigh Ruebins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

His house needs a flip job and his best friend’s brother has all the right equipment. He'd swore that he'd never be back in this little mountain town where he grew up. But Dad left him his old fixer-upper house and a brewery full of employees who seem to hate him, and both are in need of some elbow grease and charm. Lucky him: his best friend co-owns a construction company, Fixer Brothers Construction Co, ready to hire for renovations. Luckier him: his formerly scrawny little brother Shawn has grown into a tall, built, knuckle-bitingly hot construction worker. He looks damn good in flannel and better with it off. He wants him in his bed, and he's good at getting what he wants. Turns out all those years of construction work have done him good, body and soul. He’s the whole package. Shawn’s sweet, sensitive, and has been through hell. For a heartbreaker like him, he should be off-limits. And his brother knows way too much about his bad habits from the past: get in, get out, never commit. But he's flipping his whole world, and he doesn't know if he wants him to stop.

I loved this story of the attraction between the two men which was forbidden but worked on so many levels. Shawn's brother's reaction was suitably extreme and I'm looking forward to finding out more about Nathan in the next book. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When Zeus lost his mate, leaving him a single father, his heart broke into a thousand pieces. The only thing keeping him going was their beautiful daughter, Thia. He vowed to do whatever it took to keep her safe and give her the life she deserves. And he has. But now the fluffle alpha has decided his mourning period is over and it’s time to mate another. Alpha bunnies have one job - to sire more bunnies, after all. Now that he no longer has a mate, my fluffle alpha has decided he needs to “help” the unmated omegas have more children. Unless he finds himself a mate in the next month, he'll be forced to follow my fluffle alpha’s orders. The Male-Order Mates app is his last hope to find an omega he wants and not one forced upon him.

This was a sweet story as Zeus and Thia fled his fluffle to start a new life with Fyn and Ripley. The three of them worked well together as could be seen by the way that they worked on the motel. I loved the way that they all took care of Thia too. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MMM story with mature content and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

Ezra James thought there was nowhere on earth that his best friend, Ruby, and her young son could hide from her abusive husband’s powerful family. Then the Day of the Dragons happened. Safety is suddenly within their grasp. The problem is that they need to get the little boy beyond Elysia South’s energy shield before the boy’s father or senator grandfather can find them, and that would require petitioning the dragons for asylum. At least that’s the rumour. While flying his routine patrols near the energy shield, dragon shifter Raphek suddenly finds himself in the shocking position of saving a couple of adult Terrans and a child from a bunch of Terran goons with guns seemingly trying to murder them. However, bringing them into Elysia South causes a diplomatic nightmare, one that threatens to trigger a war between his kingdom and the US unless King Dagon hands over all three to the very man that swore to kill both Ezra and Ruby if Ezra ever helped his wife leave him. Can Ezra and Raphek find a solution to their impossible dilemma, or will the dragon brothers have to give up what may very well be their fated mates to satisfy the demands of Ruby’s ex’s powerful family for the sake of peace?

The more he falls in love with them, the more he worries that he's a danger to them. Omega Gideon is terrified of alphas. Mostly because one in particular still thinks he has a claim on him. But biology dictates that he has one and he really wants babies. He loves Fletcher with his whole heart, but he’s also an omega and can only give him so much. Could Artemis be the solution to their problem, or is he the beginning of so many more problems? Omega Fletcher should have been born an alpha. His heart is alpha, but his body and its needs are all omega. Which is why bringing Artemis into their lives was the best and worst idea ever. Biologically, he gets the job done and fulfils all of their darkest fantasies. Fletcher can’t afford to fall for someone other than his omega husband, especially not an alpha with some questionable connections.
