Stygian, a dark‑magic creation who needs another body to exist, sets his sights on Stellar, a star‑born fae prince bored with his long, uneventful life. Their clash brings Stellar more excitement than he’s had in ages. But Taurus, who secretly loves Stellar, sees Stygian stealing the prince’s attention — and the only way Taurus can have what he wants may cost someone else their life.

This was a really enjoyable story that whisked me straight into another world, where Stygian is trapped yet still able to feed on Stellar’s sexual energy from inside the same room as his prison. Watching him observe everything — especially the way Taurus and Stellar clearly care for each other long before they realise it themselves — added a lovely emotional thread to all the chaos. As always with this series, the familiar shenanigans, mischief, and unpredictable fae drama were front and centre, giving the story its trademark charm. The dynamic between the three characters was fun to follow, and Stygian’s presence stirred up exactly the kind of trouble you expect in this universe. A lively, magical instalment full of series‑style chaos and character interplay. This was an MM/MMM story with mature content.

Healing Daddy by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Leary becomes the one person who brings JJ peace after JJ’s abduction and trauma leave him angry and bitter. Despite coming from totally different worlds, JJ feels safe with Leary, whose sweetness and acceptance calm him in ways he didn’t expect. Leary may be chaotic, but he’s determined to heal JJ — not by seeking a Daddy, but by earning JJ’s heart.

I loved this sweet, emotional story. Leary may be a Little, but he has more than enough strength to care for JJ and help him heal. His gentleness, patience, and determination gave JJ exactly what he needed as he worked through the trauma of his past. I also loved that JJ insisted he wasn’t a Daddy, yet so many of his actions and the way he protected Leary, supported him, and cared for him when he was little showed that he had the heart of one all along. Their relationship needed real work, and they were both willing and capable of doing it, which made their love feel earned and genuine. A warm, emotional story that made me smile. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like DDLB dynamic.

Boy Toy Not Included by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kuba is supposed to be just another job — the assignment that finally lets Diesel settle near his mom. But once he reaches Seattle, Kuba proves far more complicated than expected. He needs Diesel’s help in ways that go well beyond protection, leaving Diesel unsure where “home” really is anymore. For Kuba, having Diesel around brings new distractions and dangers, and suddenly it’s not just his own life at risk.

This book was filled with passion, both in Kuba’s fierce drive to beat Dread and in the way he and Diesel slowly fell in love. I loved the danger and drama woven through the story — from the threats of Dread’s supporters to the tension around revealing Kuba’s sexuality — all of it added real weight to their journey. Their relationship was wonderful to follow, especially as they worked through tough moments and still came out stronger on the other side. The writing made everything easy to read, feel, and understand, and I was fully swept up in their fight for something better together. This was an MM story with mature content.

Traitor by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Crisp, long stuck in the background of Killers Inc., finally snaps after DNA results leave him feeling like an outsider. While everyone thinks he’s hiding out to recover, he’s actually in Hawaii with a man he may have accidentally kidnapped — a “rescue” in his mind. As more of the family starts catching on and his volatile guest remains a danger, Crisp knows it’s only a matter of time before everything blows up.

I loved the undeniable connection between Crisp and Jay — it was clear in every interaction, especially in the great care Crisp took with him. Their shared background made it easy for them to understand each other in ways no one else could, and that gave their bond real depth. I did feel like a few moments were missing, especially their wedding day and the point where their relationship became more physical, but the emotional core of the story still shone through. The final family confrontation was one of my favourite parts. Watching them express their thoughts and feelings, despite being raised to suppress emotion, was powerful and satisfying. A story full of emotion, connection, and care, with two men learning they’re allowed to feel and to be loved. This was an MM story with mature content.

Just in Time by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

German has spent years guarding celebrities and staying detached, but Blaze — a young, magnetic star — gets under his skin in a way no one else has. Blaze can have anything he wants, yet he keeps gravitating toward German, trying to charm a smile out of him every time they meet. As their paths keep crossing, both men realise there’s something between them they can’t ignore, even if neither is sure they deserve it.

The undeniable connection between German and Blaze shines through the whole story — they orbit each other from the start, and it’s so clear they’re meant to end up together. I especially loved how they recognised the deeper issue within Blaze’s family and were perfectly placed to help resolve it for everyone involved. There’s so much love woven through their journey, and the Christmas moments were warm, sweet, and genuinely smile‑inducing. The story is full of big emotions and clear, heartfelt feelings, all easy to understand and easy to feel right alongside them. This was an MM story with mature content.

Watcher by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Atticus is a brilliant but unhinged tech CEO who hides a dark, chaotic nightlife behind his polished image, and he’s decided he wants Foster. Foster, a quiet, solitary assassin with Killers Inc., prefers to stay invisible — but Atticus keeps pushing into his world, irritating him, tempting him, and getting under his skin. Two dangerous outcasts circling each other, one chaotic and one cold, and it’s getting harder to tell which one is the real threat.

I loved this story about two men who are damaged in their own ways yet absolutely perfect for each other. The passion between them is intense, even as they navigate constant danger and drama. What really stood out was watching them learn to communicate, to trust, and to compromise when it mattered — their emotions and reactions felt so real that it was easy to understand and feel everything right along with them. A dark, dramatic, deeply emotional romance with two unforgettable characters who fit together in all the ways that count. This was an MM story with mature content.

Unbewitched by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stone, a commitment‑avoiding supernatural dealing with a dangerous possession, discovers that his latest partner, Lysander, is actually his fated mate. Lysander, a fairy who needs closeness to thrive, finally understands why he can’t stay away from Stone — but their timing couldn’t be worse, as Stone battles the dark entity inside him and both struggle with a bond neither expected.

This story delivered a powerful mix of mate‑bond intensity and supernatural chaos. Stone and Lysander’s connection was strong from the start, but the dark entity squatting inside Stone turns their bond into a fight for survival — especially as Lysander comes dangerously close to starving. The stakes felt real, and it took the combined strength of several supernatural beings to finally free Stone, which made the victory feel earned. I loved the sense of community throughout the book. There was so much love and loyalty between the different supernatural groups, and Stone’s devotion to those he protected was recognised and rewarded despite everything he endured. The emotional beats landed beautifully, and the whole story was easy to read and follow. This was an MM story with mature content.

A Daddy for Him by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rhodes, a hardened security operative and Daddy without a Little, is still hurting after losing the boy he cared for. When Cairo shows up — vulnerable, desperate, and carrying a dangerous secret — Rhodes can’t turn him away. Cairo needs protection only someone like Rhodes can offer, and as danger closes in, the two form an unexpected bond neither of them saw coming.

The attraction between Rhodes and Cairo is immediate and compelling — a pull that grows stronger with every moment they share. Rhodes’ fierce protectiveness is one of the highlights of the story, especially as Cairo’s vulnerability and need for safety become clearer. I also loved the way Kylo stepped in to guide Cairo, helping him find confidence and strength in a world that had only ever hurt him. The book carries a lot of emotion, touching on themes of past trafficking, abuse, and the long shadows they cast, but it balances that darkness with tenderness, care, and the slow rebuilding of trust. And in the end, seeing Rhodes and Cairo find their happiness together made the journey worth it. A heartfelt, emotional read with danger, healing, and a well‑earned happy ending. This was an MM story with mature content and a BDSM-like Daddy/boy dynamic.

Review: His One and Only by Charity Parkerson 4 of 5 stars

His One and Only by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Valon is a rockstar spiralling under the pressure of fame and the destructive habits keeping him afloat. Marc, his longtime fan turned bodyguard, quickly realises Valon is hiding something serious and becomes determined to uncover the truth. As their connection deepens, both men struggle with their own secrets — and Marc may be the only one who can help Valon find a way out.

This story builds a beautiful connection between Valon and Marc, starting with friendship and slowly shifting into something deeper and more life‑changing. I loved how Marc gave Valon exactly what he’d been missing — time, attention, and the space to finally breathe and understand his own feelings instead of running from them. Their bond feels steady and supportive, and they truly give each other a real chance at happiness. There’s a lot of emotion woven through the book, not just from the two men but from the people who care about them, and that emotional depth makes their journey even more rewarding. A heartfelt, moving read about healing, trust, and finding someone who sees you clearly. This was an MM story with mature content.

Tracker by Charity Parkerson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tracker has watched his brothers find love and is convinced he’s better off sticking to computers. His closest bond is with Zeus, the charming kink‑club owner who seems irresistible to everyone except Tracker. Their shared love of hacking has made them best friends, but while Zeus is determined to crack Tracker’s emotional shell, Tracker insists he’s only interested in online dating and nothing more — even if Zeus keeps tempting him to rethink everything.

This story delivers a powerful, emotionally charged bond between Tracker and Zeus — a connection so intense it borders on obsession in the best, most heartfelt way. Their love is threaded through every interaction, and watching two men who clearly adore each other try to navigate feelings that big is incredibly compelling. I especially loved how the book handled Tracker’s emotional journey. His feelings often hit him harder than he knew how to process, and that vulnerability made his growth all the more meaningful. Zeus’s unwavering devotion only amplified the depth between them. A strong, passionate, deeply connected pairing that makes the entire story pulse with emotion.

Unmated by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Aspen and Leif spent over fifty years in love with no hope of ever being true mates. Now that Weres and vampires are suddenly being paired, Aspen wants another chance — but Leif is still heartbroken and unsure he can risk it again. As their old feelings resurface, their community begins to fall apart, and Leif must decide whether to run from Aspen or fight for him before everything — and everyone — is lost.

This story beautifully captures the undeniable pull between Aspen and Leif — a bond that’s survived decades of heartbreak, separation, and impossible odds. Even after fifty years apart, it’s clear that fate isn’t finished with them, no matter how much they try to protect themselves. The emotional depth is rich throughout, especially as their world expands to include gods, supernatural politics, and shifting mate dynamics. Those layered story arcs add tension and intrigue, but it’s the touching moments between Aspen and Leif — and between other characters as well — that give the book its heart. A sweeping, emotional paranormal romance where love refuses to fade and destiny keeps circling back, no matter how much time has passed. This was an MM story with mature content.

Finding Shelter by Charity Parkerson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Kash never expects to be hired to protect his ex’s father, Ledger — or to feel an unexpected pull toward him. Ledger once thought Kash would be part of the family, but seeing him again stirs something far more complicated than resentment. As they’re thrown together, old assumptions crumble and a dangerous, undeniable attraction takes its place.

This story had such an undeniable pull between Kash and Ledger — the kind of slow, magnetic attraction that sneaks up on both men and refuses to be ignored. Their connection is laced with emotion, tenderness, and a surprising softness that builds beautifully as the walls between them come down. I loved how the story balanced heat with genuine feeling, letting both men reveal their vulnerabilities in ways that felt honest and deeply human. The emotional undercurrent is strong throughout, making their growing bond not just believable but incredibly moving. A heartfelt, tender romance full of longing, connection, and two men finding something they never expected in each other. This was an MM story with mature content.

Scout by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Clay has spent his life guarding the Bosi family, trained from childhood to be a soldier. He’s used to criminals coming and going, but Scout — Killers Inc.’s sharp‑eyed, lightning‑fast marksman — is unlike anyone he’s ever met. Scout, usually confident and upbeat, is thrown off when he realises he wants Clay’s attention and isn’t getting it. Clay, who longs for someone kind and steady despite the violent world he lives in, finds himself confused by the possibilities Scout represents. With Killers Inc. now on the compound, both men are pushed out of their comfort zones as an unexpected connection begins to form.

I loved this story and I really enjoyed watching Clay and Scout wrestle with feelings that were completely new to both of them. Their confusion, hesitation, and vulnerability made their connection feel all the more genuine. What struck me most was how perfectly they fit together despite — or maybe because of — the harsh world they live in. Their strengths balance each other, and their emotional struggles make their eventual bond feel earned. A compelling mix of tenderness and grit. This was an MM story with mature content.

Unwanted by Charity Parkerson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fen is missing huge pieces of his memory after being abducted, and the haunting voice in his mind makes him fear he’s losing his grip on reality. The only thing that brings him peace is Kyrie, the flawless wolf he can’t stop wanting — even though he has no idea the danger closing in on him. Kyrie, meanwhile, is juggling deadly secrets, a habit of occasionally dropping dead, and the interference of a God who keeps wrecking his life. The last thing he needs is a tempting Scottish vampire… but Fen is impossible to resist. With two powerful forces targeting Fen, their connection might be the only thing that can save him — if the truth doesn’t break them first.

I loved this instalment that delivered an intense, emotional punch as Fen and Kyrie’s connection becomes the heart of the story. Their love is immediate, instinctive, and impossible to ignore — the kind of bond that feels carved into their souls long before either of them understood why. Every moment between them carried that electric mix of longing, comfort, and inevitability. But what makes their romance so gripping is how fiercely it’s tested. Fen is haunted by missing memories and a dangerous voice in his mind, while Kyrie is battling secrets, death itself, and the interference of a God who won’t leave him alone. The threats circling them are real, escalating, and deeply personal, turning their love into both a refuge and a risk. Watching them fight for each other — even when the truth could break them — is what gives the story its emotional weight. A dark, tender, high‑stakes romance where love refuses to back down, no matter how dangerous the world becomes. This was an MM story with mature content.

Clover just wants a new job for Christmas after losing the one he loved, thanks to his ex becoming his manager. Desperate and running out of options, he applies for an office manager position at a personal security firm — a job he’s sure he won’t get. Then he meets Saint Knack. Saint is stunned when Clover walks into his office dressed like a kitten, but within minutes he knows two things: Clover is perfect for the job, and even more perfect for him. Their connection is instant, sweet, and a little chaotic — exactly the kind of whirlwind holiday romance Clover never expected.

I enjoyed this novella which is a sweet, fast‑paced holiday romance with just the right touch of danger. Clover’s life is already in shambles when he loses his job, but the real threat comes from his toxic ex — a presence that lingers like a storm cloud and adds a sharp edge to the story. Enter Saint, the gruff, steady security expert who takes one look at Clover and feels something immediate and undeniable. Their connection sparks instantly, the kind of pull that feels both fated and irresistible. Even with danger circling, the chemistry between them is warm, protective, and wonderfully intense. A whirlwind insta‑love story where a dangerous past meets a fiercely devoted new beginning — and love wins the moment these two lock eyes.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Buck once believed he’d spend his life with Sterling, until Sterling’s choices broke his heart. Now Sterling’s polo career is falling apart, and returning home means facing the man he left behind. Buck still feels the love — and the hurt — as strongly as ever, and Sterling’s return forces them both to confront the past. Loving each other again might heal them… or destroy Buck all over again.

I loved this second‑chance romance that hits hard in all the right emotional places. Sterling’s mental health struggles are portrayed with honesty and weight — the pressure of his polo career, the burnout, and the quiet unravelling that finally drives him home all feel painfully real. His return isn’t about rekindling a romance; it’s about survival, healing, and facing the damage he left behind. Buck’s side of the story is just as compelling. He once loved Sterling with everything he had, and the betrayal still sits deep in his bones. Watching him wrestle with old wounds, lingering love, and the fear of being hurt again gives the book its raw emotional tension. Buck wants to believe in a future with Sterling, but trusting him feels like stepping into fire. This was a beautifully written, emotionally layered story about broken hearts, hard truths, and the possibility — however fragile — of finding their way back to each other.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ajax is fiercely loyal to the Royal Guard and devoted to protecting Prince Noir, but everything becomes complicated when Lucas — a sharp‑tongued, reckless man he secretly cares for — is nearly killed because he knew too much about the prince’s true power. Now Lucas is recovering under Noir’s protection, trapped in a home he can’t leave and furious about it. Ajax, who isn’t used to guilt or emotional turmoil, can’t shake the responsibility he feels for Lucas’s brush with death. Despite their age gap, he’s long considered Lucas his closest friend — someone whose humour and fire he’s come to love. But Lucas seems ready to run the moment he’s strong enough, and Ajax knows that disappearing isn’t an option. If Lucas tries, Ajax will be the one forced to stop him… even if it breaks both their hearts. Their bond is a dangerous mix of loyalty, longing, and lethal stakes — and neither of them can walk away unscathed.

I loved this deliciously dark romance wrapped in danger, loyalty, and impossible choices. Ajax and Lucas’s relationship simmers with tension from the start — a mix of forbidden longing, lethal stakes, and the kind of emotional intensity that only comes from two men who could save or destroy each other. Lucas’s near‑death experience casts a long shadow, and the forced proximity of his recovery only sharpens the edges between them. Ajax’s devotion is fierce, possessive, and tinged with the ruthlessness of a man who serves a prince who rules from the shadows. Lucas, sharp‑tongued and wounded, is caught between wanting to run and wanting to stay. Their bond is messy, morally grey, and undeniably compelling. If you enjoy dark romance with power imbalances, dangerous secrets, and a love that feels as risky as it is irresistible, this story delivers exactly that. This was an MM story with mature content.

Unguarded by Charity Parkerson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wolf Yuri’s life has been shaped by mistakes and painful choices, but one act of bravery brought him into the orbit of a powerful godling—and gave him a home, even if that home is in Hell. Surrounded by family for the first time, Yuri still struggles with self-worth, convinced he doesn’t deserve the devotion of Brownie, the rough-and-tumble alpha hellhound who shadows his every moment. Brownie, Lucifer’s guardian hellhound, has always accepted a solitary path despite his strength and status. But meeting Yuri changes everything. To Brownie, Yuri is extraordinary, though Yuri refuses to see it. Both men are blind to the depth of their bond, caught between friendship and something far greater.

I loved this novella which was a story of redemption, belonging, and the courage to recognise love—even when it feels undeserved. I loved that although Yuri’s new “family” is in Hell, it represented the first true sense of belonging he’s ever known. This highlighted how home isn’t about geography or perfection—it’s about finding people who accept you, even in the most unexpected places. I also loved that Brownie embodied strength and dominance, while Yuri embodied fragility and doubt. Yet their relationship flips these dynamics, showing that vulnerability can be powerful and that strength is most meaningful when paired with tenderness. Easy to read and understand.

Jathan may be famous, but his personal life feels empty—always the outsider in his own circle, watching others find connection while he drifts through a six-month stretch of boredom and isolation. With his only close friend now married, Jathan resolves to meet new people, though his awkwardness makes it difficult. At a ranch retreat, Quince—quiet, observant, and emotionally tangled—has been watching Jathan from afar. To Quince, Jathan is more than a celebrity; he’s kind, funny, and achingly out of reach. Now that Jathan has finally noticed him, Quince is caught between longing and silence, overwhelmed by everything he can’t say and the fear that Jathan will never truly see him. Their story simmers with quiet yearning, emotional distance, and the possibility of something more—if only Quince can find the courage to speak.

I loved this story of fame, loneliness, and the quiet ache of unspoken feelings. I liked that they explored the deep human need to be truly seen and valued, especially when surrounded by people who only notice the surface. I also liked how the story highlighted how loneliness isn’t about being alone, but about feeling disconnected even in the busiest rooms. Although the two men were in different worlds, the story highlighted how compatibility isn’t about lifestyle or status, but about emotional resonance: who makes you feel understood, safe, and alive. Easy to read, feel and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.

Ridge has loved Shadow since childhood, their bond forged in the intensity of a spy program. Though Ridge hides his feelings, Shadow has always known — yet his choices and distance leave Ridge feeling trapped between devotion and resentment. Each time Shadow turns to someone else, Ridge’s love curdles into frustration, making it harder to separate affection from anger. Shadow, burdened by his identity as an assassin, believes he doesn’t deserve Ridge’s gentle, steadfast love. He sees himself as unworthy, convinced Ridge should be with someone safer, someone who matches his kindness. Yet despite his self-loathing, Shadow cannot deny his own love for Ridge, even as he fears it will only bring pain. Together, they are caught in a cycle of longing, guilt, and unspoken truths — two men bound by history, torn by duty, and struggling to reconcile love with the shadows of who they are.

I loved this story about two men bound by history and desire, struggling to believe that love can survive guilt, resentment, and the shadows of their past. I loved how the story  explored how deep love can coexist with bitterness, and how unresolved longing can become a trap. It was clear that their emotional imprisonment mirrored their literal training as spies — both are conditioned to suppress, conceal, and endure. At its core, this is a story about two men bound by history and desire, struggling to reconcile love with guilt, resentment, and the shadows of their past. It asks whether intimacy can survive when both partners feel trapped by who they are and what they’ve done. Easy to read and understand. This was an MM story with mature content.
