Fey Divinity by S. Rodman

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jack, the son of the prime minister, finds himself forced into an arranged marriage after the fey conquer Earth. His intended husband, Prince Dyfri y Mhorriganogi, is breathtakingly beautiful but also suspected of being a spy and an enemy infiltrator. Jack resents the lack of choice and resigns himself to a fate he never wanted — sharing his life with Dyfri in Downing Street. Yet when they finally meet, Dyfri’s dark eyes and enigmatic presence stir doubt in Jack’s certainty. Beneath the suspicion lies the possibility that Dyfri may not be loyal to his people at all, but instead aligned with humanity. As attraction and mistrust collide, Jack must decide whether he is seeing the truth or simply what he longs to believe.

I loved this story which was about love and suspicion in the shadow of conquest, where one forced marriage could change everything. I loved the way that Jack defended Dyfri making him start to believe that he was not the worthless whore he had been treated as. I also loved that the fey conquest places Jack in a position of vulnerability, even as he represents human leadership but for Dyfri as a prince, he embodied power, but his possible disloyalty to his people revealed vulnerability. That emphasized that love became a negotiation of power, where intimacy required surrender from both sides. I felt that Dyfri was the prince with the possibility for the largest depth of character and this book did not disappoint. I loved the ending which was perfect for the series. Many emotions and feelings in this story. This was an MM story with mature content.

A Little Snowed In by Della Cain by Kaytea Kat

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Paxton agrees to check out a cabin for his boss on his way home for Christmas, but an unexpected snowstorm leaves him stranded. Inside the cabin, he’s stunned to find Nico — his first love, the one who got away. Years ago, Paxton never confessed his feelings, afraid that revealing his desire for a daddy/little dynamic would drive Nico away. Now, snowed in together with only one bed and plenty of time, Paxton sees this as his chance to finally be honest. With Christmas magic swirling around them, he musters the courage to admit his truth and risk rejection, knowing he can’t spend his life wondering “what if.” What follows is a tender, Hallmark-style holiday romance filled with stuffies, cookies, glitter, and second chances. Paxton and Nico rediscover their connection, find acceptance in each other, and realize that the greatest gift of all is true love and the promise of new beginnings.

I loved this story which was about rediscovering love, embracing vulnerability, and finding the courage to claim happiness during the magic of Christmas. I loved how the story explored how authenticity can feel risky but is the foundation of lasting love. I also loved how love was portrayed as the ultimate present — one that outshines all others and lasts beyond the season. A sweet second chance Christmas story. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Archie's Holiday: A Foggy Basin Short Story by Brina Brady
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Archie Star, now a high school English teacher, spends his first winter break away from the Blue Star Diner and instead with Brogan Finnegan — the man whose rented room became a refuge and whose friendship grew into something deeper. As snow falls over Foggy Basin, Archie struggles with old insecurities that whisper he doesn’t deserve comfort or belonging. Yet Brogan’s steady warmth, shared meals, and gentle invitations begin to melt those doubts, offering Archie a glimpse of a life built together. On Christmas morning, under a tree adorned with handmade ornaments and soft lights, Brogan presents Archie with a simple but profound gift: a promise and a question. It’s not just about staying for the holiday season, but about choosing love, home, and permanence — staying for good.

I loved this short story that was about finding the courage to accept love, to stay, and to believe in a future built together. I loved how the story explored how belonging requires not just being welcomed, but believing you are worthy of staying. I also loved how love was portrayed as shelter — not just romantic passion, but the everyday comfort of being cared for. This was an MM story with mature content.

A Magically Delicious Christmas by A.E. Madsen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thomas, a divorced single dad, has settled into life with his son until a surprise call from school reveals that his fourteen-year-old created a dating profile for him. With his ex remarrying, Thomas realizes he hasn’t dated in years and feels out of touch with modern apps and romance. Angelo, a dedicated teacher who spends his days grading papers and unwinding with medical dramas, never expected love to find him at his weekly book club. But when Thomas — his student’s father — asks him out for coffee, their friendship begins to blur into something more. As Christmas approaches, Angelo wonders if it’s wrong to invite Thomas as his date to the faculty party, while Thomas navigates the unfamiliar world of dating and the possibility of opening his heart again.

I really enjoyed this story about finding love when least expected, learning to take chances again, and discovering that the holiday season can bring both magic and romance. I loved how this story explored how love requires balancing multiple identities without losing authenticity and explored how love often arrives when least expected, offering renewal after loss or stagnation. A sweet holiday romance which was easy to understand and feel. This was an MM story with mature content.

Review: Santa Daddies by Laylah Roberts by A.W. Scott 4 of 5 stars

Santa Daddies by Laylah Roberts by A.W. Scott
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This Christmas romance brings together Santa-inspired Daddies whose one holiday wish is to find the perfect Little — someone equal parts naughty and nice. When their Littles behave, they’re showered with gifts, affection, and indulgence. But when mischief takes over, these Daddies are more than ready to guide them back to the “nice list,” with discipline as fiery as Rudolph’s glowing nose. From mall Santas to North Pole fantasies, the story blends holiday magic with age-play dynamics, offering a mix of sweetness, spice, and the promise of love wrapped in festive cheer.

This was a very enjoyable anthology full of Daddy/little stories where holiday wishes came true, where love, play, and festive magic intertwine in the most unexpected ways. All stories are MF stories which were enjoyable apart from this one which was MM.

Holiday Hope by A.W. Scott
Jared writes to Santa asking for a Daddy but it is included in the mail delivered to Jerome who is thrilled to find himself a boy that he has yearned for. I loved how the Santa imagery transformed into a playful, romantic exploration of desire and belonging.

Review: Ocean's Lost Octopus by Della Cain by Kaytea Kat 3 of 5 stars

Ocean's Lost Octopus by Della Cain by Kaytea Kat
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ocean appears every inch the powerful executive — suited up, commanding a corner office, and thriving as a vice president. Yet beneath the polished exterior, he longs for comfort, care, and the tender dynamic of being a little with a daddy. His treasured octopus stuffie is his nightly companion, a reminder of the love he once had but lost when his former daddy chose a more conventional family life. Three years later, Ocean is still alone, until a faulty fire alarm forces him out of his apartment — and he discovers his beloved octopus missing. This small loss becomes the catalyst for something much bigger: the arrival of Duncan, a man ready to be the daddy Ocean has been yearning for. Their story unfolds with snuggles, cuddles, footie pajamas, playful adventures, and the promise of true love. What begins with the loss of a stuffie transforms into a journey of healing, new beginnings, and the rediscovery of intimacy and belonging.

I enjoyed this story about how losing something small can lead to finding something profound — the love, care, and true daddy Ocean has always needed. I loved how the story explored how identity is multifaceted — strength in public can coexist with vulnerability in private, and both are equally valid. I also loved that belonging can be found not in status or success, but in relationships that honour our most authentic selves. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Breakneck by Roe Horvat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Terrance, a disciplined private security professional with a spotless record, is assigned to protect Lothair — a famous actor and stuntman who also happens to be a dragon-shifter. Lothair thrives on danger, arrogance, and chaos, treating Terrance less like a bodyguard and more like a challenge. Though both are alphas and bound by rules that should keep them apart, Lothair relentlessly tests Terrance’s limits, pushing him toward attraction he refuses to admit. For Lothair, unraveling his straitlaced protector might be the most thrilling stunt of all. Their clash of personalities ignites sparks that blur the line between duty and desire, turning protection into temptation and threatening to burn down every rule that stands in their way.

I loved this story about two alphas whose collision of duty, chaos, and desire threatens to consume them — and the rules meant to keep them apart. I also loved how the story asked whether love can coexist with responsibility, or if desire inevitably undermines duty. It was also interesting that in this story true intimacy required surrender — even for those who define themselves by power. At its heart, this story is about two alphas whose collision of duty, chaos, and desire threatens to consume them — forcing them to decide whether breaking rules leads to ruin or to freedom. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Professor Problems by Merry Farmer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jamie never expected to find the perfect dom during a wild weekend getaway, but his connection with Aled — a newbie dom — is unlike anything he’s experienced before. What begins as play sparks a deep longing in Jamie to build something real beyond the scene. For Aled, the BDSM world was meant to be a coping mechanism after family tragedy, not the place to meet someone who makes him feel whole. But when he discovers that Jamie is his university advisor, their bond becomes complicated by professional boundaries, family obligations, and ethical dilemmas. As Aled struggles to balance his devotion to his broken family with his growing feelings for Jamie, both men must confront jealousy, past wounds, and the weight of responsibility. Their journey unfolds against the backdrop of The Brotherhood — a centuries-old organization — as they wrestle with whether love, trust, and fantasy can survive real-world pressures.

I loved this story about two men navigating desire, duty, and love — discovering whether their bond can withstand the weight of family, ethics, and the realities beyond fantasy. I also loved the story showed that trust and transparency are as vital outside the scene as within it and that it also explored how love can coexist with responsibility, and whether choosing one means sacrificing the other. The two men were perfect for each other and Jamie was perfect for Aled's family. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like D/s dynamic.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Joey Bennick dreams of more than his marketing job — he longs to become a social media star and, most importantly, to find the lifetime daddy he’s been wishing for. Feeling incomplete without that bond, his Christmas wish is simple: love and belonging. Vince Seely, once consumed by the high-speed world of Formula 1 racing, sacrificed personal relationships for his career. Now retired, he’s left questioning what truly matters and searching for a new sense of purpose. When fate brings them together at a Christmas Charity Event, Joey’s yearning and Vince’s search for meaning collide. What begins as chance may turn into the holiday miracle they both need — two lost souls finding connection, joy, and love under the glow of Christmas lights.  

I enjoyed this story about dreams, second chances, and the holiday magic that brings two hearts together when they need it most. I liked that they were able to build a relationship which fulfilled both of them. I also loved that the story was about two men searching for meaning and belonging, discovering that love — like a Christmas miracle — arrives when hope and vulnerability align.

Freefall by Roe Horvat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ansel flees to his grandfather’s remote cabin to escape his parents’ attempt to force him into marriage with a snobbish alpha. Hoping for solitude and clarity, he instead stumbles upon an astonishing sight after a storm — a dragon crash-landed in the forest. Expecting danger, Ansel is stunned when the dragon transforms into Pascal, a polite, if slightly disheveled, man who promptly invites himself in. Pascal, nearly forty and convinced he’s past reckless mistakes, realizes he’s made a mess by flying into a storm, injuring himself, and revealing his dragon form to a human. Worse, his dragon instincts immediately claim Ansel — a nineteen-year-old omega — as his mate. With Ansel still fragile and untested, Pascal must tread carefully, balancing instinct with responsibility. But their budding bond faces more than just the challenges of age and circumstance. Overbearing parents and a vengeful ex loom large, threatening to turn their unlikely meeting into a battle for survival, love, and freedom.

I loved this story about an omega seeking freedom and a dragon seeking redemption, drawn together by fate but tested by danger, instinct, and the weight of outside forces. I liked the way that the story explored whether love is destiny or choice, and how instinct must be tempered by respect. Nineteen versus nearly forty highlighted generational differences and societal judgement plus Pascal’s role as a teacher makes their bond even more precarious - love across boundaries asks whether connection can transcend rules, expectations, and stigma. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature and set in the omegaverse with MPREG.

A Little Christmas 4: Jamie by Brina Brady

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Jamie, twenty-one and hopeful for a romantic Christmas getaway with his boyfriend Daddy Tom, finds himself abandoned in Big Bear, California. What begins with promises of gifts and holiday cheer turns into a nightmare when Tom disappears, leaving Jamie stranded in a raging snowstorm with no phone, money, or protection. As the cold closes in and despair takes hold, Jamie collapses by the roadside, only to be rescued at the last moment by Spencer, a mysterious stranger in a red truck. Taken to Spencer’s cabin, Jamie’s fate shifts — but questions linger about who Spencer truly is and what awaits him in the isolated, snow-covered mountains.

I loved this story about a young man betrayed and left to freeze, whose unexpected rescue may hold both salvation and mystery in the desolate winter wilderness. I also loved that in the story survival is not just about enduring the elements, but about finding the strength to keep hoping when all seems lost. It was great that this story was about the collision of betrayal and salvation, where survival in the cold becomes a metaphor for emotional endurance, and where a stranger’s kindness may thaw the deepest wounds. This was full of emotions and feelings. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Deviant by Cora Rose by Lark Taylor
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Ansel’s life spirals out of control when he’s tasked with kidnapping a man named Brad to pay off a dangerous debt. Inexperienced but desperate, he thinks he’s struck lucky when a flirty stranger at a bar introduces himself as Brad and willingly goes along. But the stranger isn’t Brad at all — he’s Cade, charming, unpredictable, and secretly tied to The Firm itself. What begins as a botched kidnapping quickly becomes a deadly entanglement, as Ansel finds himself trapped in a criminal world he never meant to enter, bound to a man he never meant to take — and certainly never meant to fall for. Now, with the bad guys demanding blood and Cade complicating every step, Ansel faces the consequences of mistakes that may cost him everything.

This was a story of a reluctant criminal whose mistake entangles him with a dangerous man, forcing him to navigate passion, peril, and the unforgiving grip of criminal organisations. I did find the farce of the kidnapping and the way the relationship was between them both really hard to read and feel. Everything felt too chaotic and silly. I almost DNF this story but I did persevere and enjoyed some of the family antics. This was an MM story with mature content.

Oakley Manfred, a billionaire accustomed to wealth and glamour, sees his charmed life shatter after a devastating crash leaves him with a spinal cord injury. Consumed by anger and grief over all he’s lost, he clashes with Will Shepherd, the cocky physical therapist assigned to his case. Will, still reeling from the collapse of his own career, resents being handed Oakley as a patient. Yet as their sessions unfold, Will begins to see past Oakley’s prickly defenses to the vulnerable man beneath. Slowly, sparks of attraction ignite amid the tension, and their professional relationship transforms into something deeper. Through setbacks, breakthroughs, and growing affection, Oakley and Will discover that healing isn’t just physical — it’s emotional. Together, they learn that love may be the most powerful cure of all.

This was an emotional story about two wounded men finding strength, hope, and passion in each other — turning pain into the possibility of love. Oakley was once defined by wealth, glamour, and freedom, his spinal injury striped away the identity he built around charm and success. His journey with Will forced him to confront who he is without the glitter, opening space for a more authentic self. The story asked whether identity is rooted in external success or in the capacity to love and endure. At its heart, this story is about two men whose brokenness mirrors each other’s, discovering that healing is not just about recovery, but about love reshaping identity, purpose, and hope. There were a lot of emotions and feelings in this story which were easy to feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

A Daddy for Christmas 3: Luka by Rain Carrington
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Luka Babic is a dazzling performer whose talent electrifies audiences — singing, dancing, and transforming into a vibrant persona under the stage lights. Yet away from the spotlight, he is withdrawn, burdened by self-loathing, and a shadow of his onstage brilliance. Benson Carter, an eternal optimist and devoted patron, is captivated by Luka’s celestial talent and sees the potential for him to become a household name. But Benson also recognizes the pain beneath Luka’s glamour and vows to help him rediscover joy, heal his inner battles, and embrace life beyond performance. Their journey is daunting, but Benson’s determination to unravel Luka’s guarded heart suggests that love, patience, and hope may transform despair into light — proving that nothing worthwhile ever comes easy.

I enjoyed this story about the collision of light and shadow, where talent and despair meet optimism and hope — and where love may be the hardest, yet most rewarding, performance of all. The story explored how identity can fracture between public persona and private reality, and whether love can reconcile those halves. I found this story to be a little hard to follow at times but it was kind of sweet too. I did find the Daddy link to be too contrived at the end of the story. This was an MM story with mature content.

Nanny Negotiations by Merry Farmer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After a bitter divorce, single father Heath Manfred seeks help from the Brotherhood to find a nanny for his young daughter. To his surprise, the candidate is Aubrey — a charming man who assumes the role is live-in, and Heath reluctantly agrees. As Aubrey settles into their home, his warmth and devotion to both Heath and little Eugenie spark unexpected feelings in Heath, hinting that his attraction to men wasn’t just a phase from his university days. Despite Aubrey’s troubled past and the “nanny code” against falling for an employer, the growing bond between them deepens into love. But when Heath’s difficult ex resurfaces, their relationship faces serious challenges. With the Brotherhood’s support, Heath and Aubrey must decide if their differences can withstand the storm.

I enjoyed this story, which celebrated second chances, the rediscovery of identity, and the transformative power of love and family. It suggested that even in the face of past mistakes, social divides, and external conflict, authentic connection can create healing and belonging. Heath embodied the “grumpy” archetype — guarded, wounded, and cautious, and Aubrey brings “sunshine” — warmth, optimism, and joy, even after hardship. Their contrasting personalities explored how opposites can complement each other, creating balance and growth in relationships. This was an MM story with mature content.

Merry and Bright by N.R. Walker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Winter Atkins seizes the chance to fulfil his dream of owning a bookstore in Hartbridge, Montana, moving there with his aunt to start fresh and leave behind failed relationships tied to his asexuality. Deacon Clark, an autistic and neurodivergent man working at his father’s veterinary clinic, struggles with social connections and dating due to his bluntness and discomfort with touch. When Winter brings an injured cat to Deacon’s clinic, the encounter sparks an unexpected friendship. With the town’s “Christmas Cupid” and two orphaned kittens nudging them along, their bond grows into something deeper and more meaningful than either anticipated.

I loved this story, which celebrated authenticity, inclusivity, and the beauty of unconventional bonds. It suggested that love — whether platonic, romantic, or somewhere in between — is about understanding, patience, and shared care rather than fitting into societal expectations. I also loved that for Winter, his reinvention showed how physical relocation can mirror emotional renewal.  It was wonderful to read that Winter’s asexuality and past failed relationships highlighted the struggle of being misunderstood in love. His decision to “shelve dating” reflected both self-protection and resignation. Deacon’s autism and neurodivergence emphasised the challenges of navigating a world that often misunderstands difference. His aversion to touch and bluntness show how social norms can exclude those who don’t fit neatly into them. I thought that their story explored acceptance of self and others — finding belonging without needing to change who they are. I found this story deeply emotional, and I thought their differences and identities were very well written and handled in the context of the story. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story.
