Quin Hunter, an art forger and gallery owner who prefers a quiet life, is drawn into a high-stakes heist by a call from his twin. Alongside his brothers, Quin must steal a painting from a dangerous figure who never should have possessed it. Meanwhile, Dimitri Crysanthos, trapped under the control of a ruthless man in Amsterdam to protect his sister, longs for freedom. When Quin enters his life, Dimitri’s desire for liberty grows, even as it puts both him and his sister at greater risk. As the stakes shift, Quin and the ORCA team are not just fighting to retrieve the painting but also to rescue Dimitri and his sister from danger. This intertwines themes of love, loyalty, and daring, as Quin finds himself not only on a mission to complete the heist but also to save his fated mate, Dimitri.

I enjoyed this story as the mystery of the painting and the mystery of Dimitry and his talent. Quin also got the bonus of finding his fated mate and so that was great for the story and its development. I loved the jeopardy of the danger to them both and the way they were able to escape. Lots of emotions and feelings in this story. This was an MM story with mature content.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Finn while working on his family's cattle ranch hires Ash Tudor, his girlfriend's twin brother, as his son's nanny after his regular nanny quits. Ash is cheerful, bubbly, and does yoga in tight shorts, which catches the Finn's attention. Despite never being attracted to another man before, he finds himself drawn to Ash. As feelings and urges grow, he struggles with confusion and curiosity but knows that falling for his son's nanny would be reckless and irresponsible, no matter how tempting it may be.

A lot of feelings and emotions in this story especially between Ash and his twin sister as well as Finn as he handled his new bisexuality. Easy to read, feel and understand.

Review: Happy Krampus Xmas & The Meet Not Cute: Two Xmas Novellas by Paulina Ian-Kane 4 of 5 stars

Happy Krampus Xmas & The Meet Not Cute: Two Xmas Novellas by Paulina Ian-Kane

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Two Xmas Novellas in the Angels of Wrath series

Happy Krampus Xmas: The protagonist is cursed by Krampus, Santa's evil brother, and must follow a three-step groveling plan to appease him. The chaotic journey involves a cussing Santa, a house on fire, accidental deaths, groping spiders, a possessed hen, and bloody furry shorts, making for a less-than-fun holiday season.

The Meet Not Cute: The protagonist's life changes when they fall on the lap of TJ, a massive football jock with puppy eyes. Despite having nothing in common, they explore TJ's newfound bisexuality. As feelings develop, the protagonist's self-preservation instincts kick in, but TJ's imposing presence makes it hard to leave.

Both of these novellas were suitably crazy and fit into the Angels of Wrath series well. I loved the Gabe/Bez combination with the crazy Lori and how the whole family supported him with his battle with Krampus. I also enjoyed all of the feelings in the second novella. Easy to read, feel and understand. These were MM stories with mature content.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hunter Penn, a P.I., has his life changed by a hellish moment and a painful decision. Years later, he encounters a long-bearded, red-headed man in an alley, leading to a brief and bloody encounter. Curiosity brings them together again, and despite Hunter's distrust, he recognizes the man's skills and needs his help to find out who is trying to kill him.
