My rating: 3 of 5 stars

When a training accident ends Wade's military career before it properly begins, he's lost with no clue what to do next. After wallowing in self-pity for a year, he finally return to the small mountain town he grew up in. When he shows up on his best friend's doorstep unannounced, broke, and smelly after two days of hitchhiking, Logan takes him in and makes him feel like he's not a total loser. They quickly fall back into their usual rhythm, and it's like they were never apart. Spending time with him reignites a flame that refuses to burn out. That they could be more than just friends. Even if he left no room at graduation for anything else to develop. Wade arriving unexpectedly is a surprise, but it's something Logan's ASD brain can process and manage. Catching a close-up of his wet, glistening body as he steps out of the bathroom without a towel? Uh, that's another thing entirely. He'd carved out a simple, quiet life for himself in the mountains. Being on the spectrum he's super organised, have a strong attention to detail, and am routine-oriented has made a love life nonexistent. It's got nothing to do with his feelings for Wade. He realised he was in love with Wade in high school, but he made a mess of things at graduation. Now that he's back, maybe he can make up for that mistake? And if he can, maybe he'll stay for good.

This was a sweet story of old friends reconnecting and having a second chance at love. I loved the veterans and how welcoming they all were. Lots of emotions and feelings in this story. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

James Durant considers himself a great dad. His teenaged daughter, Mia, is his entire world and he will do almost anything to help her achieve her dreams. Somehow, that includes asking his best friend to be his pretend fiancé to boost her chances at getting into an exclusive private school and the drama program she so desperately wants to enrol in. No, he’s still not sure he follows that logic himself, but he’ll do it for Mia. Unfortunately, James underestimates just how much work is involved in maintaining a fake relationship…or that it might bring up old feelings he buried long ago. Having known James since they were kids, Evan Bernardi will do almost anything for him. So, pretending to be in a relationship isn’t a hardship. After all, they’re so close that there’s very little pretending involved. They’re well matched as best friends, and they know each other inside and out. But when one thing leads to another, and their fake relationship begins to feel more real than pretend, Evan and James have some choices to make. If only life would stop throwing them curve balls.

This was a sweet story that had some amusing moments which verged on being crazy at times. I loved Mia and Evan was fun at times but I did find James annoying most of the time. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Some people call Sullivan Beauchamp a monster. A psychopath. As if he cares what others think. So what if he relishes in the mayhem of slaughter or enjoy feeling the life blink out of someone? It was Malik who eventually brought him to his home and trained him to hone his skills to work under him as an assassin. Malik Amin is his equal, and he will be his in all ways as soon as he can chip away at his ridiculous and completely unnecessary self-loathing. Sully lost everything as a teenager on Malik Amin's order. When he found him covered in blood four years later, he should have put him down, knowing what he was. Instead, he took him in to train him.

To Carter Whitlock, family means everything to him. He’ll do everything he can to keep them safe. That includes marrying his enemy. Kaison St. Clair has been a thorn in his side for years. When they see each other, they either trade insults or blows. He hates everything about him. If it were up to Carter, he’d stay far away from him and the entire St. Clair family. But someone is after both their families. The only way to keep everyone alive is an arranged marriage with his enemy to combine the might of the St. Clair’s and the Whitlock’s.

There’s nothing Lazarus loves more than a mystery. Noir has him stumped. That’s how people like him get killed. On paper, Lazarus doesn’t exist. He’s a ghost. An assassin. He’s also likely the worst thing to ever happen to Noir. Noir is part of the elite. Lazarus came from trash and will probably die there. They shouldn’t have met. In fact, their meeting is a bit too convenient. Noir is a lot of things. Bored, rich, and part of the upper crust. He’s also a prince and the biggest drug kingpin on the East Coast. No one has ever gotten close enough to him to know that part. Unfortunately, that makes him the guy Lazarus is hunting to kill. It’s a predicament to be sure, especially since neither of them has ever wanted anyone else as badly.

This is a dark story as assassin Lazarus meets drug boss Noir and they strike up a relationship - first purely physical which then develops into something more. It seems that both men have met their match and that both can handle their levels of violence.

He's trying to be patient but there’s a man in town that has captured his attention. He doesn’t want to betray his future mate if he even gets one, but Dean is as yummy as the treats he makes. Even though everyone tells him how gorgeous he is, I know that attractiveness is only skin-deep, and he's not sure that he could keep a man like Dean anyway. He probably wouldn't like him in his pretty lace and silk. Then secrets are revealed and he realises there’s a reason He's so drawn to Dean. After learning that Dean doesn’t want him as a mate, he does what he does best and runs away. He might be a fierce lion shifter but he's not a brave boy. Dean messed up and he knows it. First, he hid his scent from the other paranormal family in town. Second, once he realised Logan was his mate, he didn’t tell him. Lastly, he disappeared for months without a word to track down his old coven. He did it to protect his mate and his family, but Logan doesn’t know that. Now that he's back he wants to make amends.

Between Calvin's tech firm and his family’s endowment fund, there’s no shortage of people trying to get close to him. Offering a trespasser a job to run interference makes no sense, but neither does his instant attraction to sweet, submissive Micah. He never expected to fall in love with a man, let alone be the Daddy who takes on all his burdens. Micah's life has never been easy, and his only option left was to sell himself. The intimidating and wildly sexy Calvin Rutledge offers him a lifeline out of the garden shed and off the streets. In exchange for room, board, and a chance at a better future, he would be his companion. But he never anticipated falling in love with his boss or craving the care that comes with being his boy.

This was a sweet story of how Calvin met Micah and became his Daddy. I loved Micah's attempts at independence and stopping Calvin from spending too much money on him. The trouble from Micah's brother introduced some mild drama. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like Daddy/boy dynamic.

Detonate by Reese Knightley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stefano is the Phoenix Commander. He’d waited around long enough. They’d known each other for over thirty years, been together for a good portion of those years, and had lived in the same house for the past two. And still, Giovanni Rossi wouldn’t tell people they were a couple. Of course, several of their family and friends suspected they were together, but nothing had ever been confirmed. And frankly, Stefano hated all the secrecy. Maybe Rossi didn’t want to make it official between them. Or maybe it was as simple as, Rossi wanted to live a straight life for the public. Bottom line? Stefano is tired of living in Rossi’s closet. Rossi was the Phoenix Chief. How the hell had he gotten into this predicament? His boyfriend, who on all accounts should have been his husband years ago, had left him. And Rossi had only himself to blame. Now he had to use his elite team of operatives to find the man who held his heart. If he had to, he’d toss Stefano over his shoulder and carry him home. But what if that didn’t work? Well then he would have to come up with something else to convince Stefano to give him another chance. Because there's no way in hell Rossi is going to live without him.

I loved this story as we had confirmation that Stefano and Rossi were a couple. I felt Stefano's frustration with Rossi's insistence that their relationship stay hidden which must have made him feel like a dirty secret. This was full of emotions and feelings as they worked through their relationship and the dangerous situation that they were in. Easy to read, feel and understand.
